It would really be nice to have the current corruption visible in the UI either above/below the map or somewhere. Not only for myself but for when watching others play or old videos it would be nice to know what level of difficulty the player is doing. It would also be nice to have an icon that indicates hard core/SSF along with current faction.
This has been suggested, even on Mike’s stream. And it’s something they might actually do, even though there has never been any direct confirmation. But, regarding:
You can actually know the general ballpark of difficulty. Just look at the item rarity modifier. It’s usually around the corruption level. So 500 corruption will have something like 500% rarity. It will depend on the echo bonuses as well, but it won’t vary too much from it.
This is true since at least 1.1 and I’m pretty sure 1.0 as well. Pre-1.0 you can’t know because corruption worked differently from now.
Oh wow that is clever I didn’t think about the rarity modifier. Appreciate the response!
