I'm just wondering why NG+ encompasses all difficulties. I would imagine that DA will affect boss TTD even with the rocket launcher. If this is the case, I believe there should be split boards for all difficulties like the other runs, or make NG+ assisted only.
The only things difficulty really affects is the damage you take and the damage dealt to enemies so for example G1 takes 2 RL shots on assisted and 3 on standard so the only way to be competitively viable is to run easy but i don't think it needs a split board the runs would be identical aside from standard and hardcore taking slightly longer to to beat bosses overall so it would be a bit redundant having 3 practically identical runs with around a 10-15 second difference but that's just how i feel anyway.
which is why im saying make it either Assisted only, because there's no reason to run the others. Or give them their own boards if people wanna run NG+ on standard or hardcore.
Since people are using the rocket anyway, this is mostly negligible and up to the player. Most people are going to run assisted. Does it mean it needs to be enforced? No. It's players choice if they want to experiment with different strategies and is a much more lax category.
well hardcore and standard runs will never compete with assisted, they will always be slower.
Right, but that still isn't a reason to enforce assisted. It's a lax category, if someone wants to run hardcore for some reason they can. I don't see a reason to create other categories or enforce anything.
