Mission Difficulty in Solo Play

[QuinGod]

I had an idea for solo play. A lot of the times I find myself wanting the enemy spawns as if I were in a 4 player group. So I was thinking you guys could introduce mission difficulties. Not much would have to change for the missions except for enemy spawns. For example: Easy mode will have the normal amount of spawns solo missions have now, Normal mode will have the spawns of a 2 player cell, Hard mode will have the spawns of 3 player cell, and finally Challenging Mode (Work in Progress) will have the spawns of a 4 player cell. I was thinking you guys could implement these in Solo play since it's automatic in matchmaking.

So you could lvl-ing solo like in full party? You wish...

The affinity gain shouldn't be affected, because that would be pretty op. But for spawns only, i'm fine with.

The affinity didn't even cross my mind, but if you're doing the same work as a 4-person party then why shouldn't you get the same reward? Honestly I'm just more of a solo player, but it gets boring with such a low mob count.

... Or you can just set it to Invite Only and not invite anyone.

You'll lose the ability to pause the game, but that'll let you solo a mission with 4-player difficulty.

I tried this and got the same number of spawns as solo.  I don't know if its like that for other people but that's my own experience with it after testing it repeatedly.

I haven't tried it in regular missions, but it works wonders for me during Archwing MD. Great for leveling new wings if you've got a Fluctus on you.
