Tried different levels and also got an impression the lower lvl instances got noticeably higher percentage of DSU's, including the rare big ones.I did switch to level one for fun, that's where I got DSU level 6 & 7 off some eviserators = got my 1000 points, woot!
If u compare how many hours higher level players spent online this weekend, and compare to those who got no points, u get the answer. I believe both were online more than usual, but their usual... it's 2 different worlds.
Afterall, being a hardcore player is the reason why ubers beacame ubers in the 1st place.
Making it easy for the noobs seems unavoidable. Otherwise they'll keep coming on the forums after every event, saying "baaa EU is only for ubers now!"
Once u make the loots unequal, adding skill/level restrictions also seems unavoidable.
Athou, we know what's the result of that. Some uber will enter the lower lvl instances using "brother's" account. With the superior endurance of the old hardcore player it's easy to create havoc there... and we back to square one.
So, keeping the rewards relatively low might be the best strategy afterall, this should take care of the extremes.
In general i'd say PC team has made a good work this time. It's obvious they have analyzed our criticism of previous events (setup/rules) and re-designed the new rules accordingly. I believe now it's balanced as best as humanly possible. Good work!
