It feels weird, it's hard when master first opens up, but you can use a bunch of boons without tanking your score. So it seems fair. Then all of a sudden, you cant use any boons, and need a ton of negatives to get an A rank. Its not gradual, its like hitting a wall all of a suden. Noticed it right about 320LL. (The following is my comment from another post) I'm at 330 or so now, I feel the difficulty spike now. On master I have to run so many modifiers to achieve A rank that it becomes very unfun to play. OK maybe I should be running GM now? No, they basically one shot me at GM at this level. So what's the answer? No Hud, locked loadout, No starting amo, 2 negative modifiers minimum, and zero boons. Yea, it's a challenge alright, and I clear, but it really isn't fun.... Edit: another thing, I feel I am doing way more solo these days, haven't played in a fireteam but a few times this expansion. That could be part of the problem, not sure if fireteam scaling is a thing or not. But it seems hard to find a fireteam because everyone wants different modifiers, and everybody gets a different scoring grade. I don't have a good answer....
