I started a new alt on Recursion recently, and I've been trying to level up using Spy abilities. As many of you already know, it's **bleep** near impossible to win in interlock on hard (maybe even medium) missions. I'm happy to say this is no longer a problem in CR 2.0.
However, I do wonder if it is a little too easy. I noticed NPCs are doing hardly any damage at all. At level 8 with no buffs, I can do roughly twice the damage of a level 9 NPC. I give 20-30 dmg per hit and they cause 10-15 dmg. Coupled with the fact that I have twice as much health as they do (500 vs. 275), there is no real danger, even when taking on multiple NPCs. My health rarely falls below 90%. When I put on buffed clothing, I'm pretty much invincible. While I know 2.0 is supposed to be easier at lower levels, is this right?
As a spy, I'm hoping my sneak abilities improve as I level up, because I'm still getting detected a little too easily. It seems like I should be able to inflict most damage from sneak attacks, and things shouldn't be quite so easy in interlock.

I have to take that "too easy" part back. QA makes you start over with missions, and I guess those first few missions are exceptionally easy. To test my multiple NPC statement, I took my level-8 bad-*CENSORED* down to a group of Furies. It wasn't instant death, but they eventually chipped away and killed me. From that point of view, I guess the balance is right. So, I'm good.

Yeah, I felt that way at first too. Taking down one or two is relatively easy, but if there's a group of NPCs attacking, they can kill you a lot easier. However, I don't think I've died once yet on the test server, and I've been doing all my missions on hard.
