Hydra suggestion - show the difficulty *somewhere*

For that matter, this'd be a great addition everywhere - dungeons, CB, etc. But especially for Hydra, when fights are so long. You don't even see it on the victory screen.

Its showed on the victory/end fight screen with the dmg done , etc info ? Top left corner .

Would be nice if it were shown during the fight somewhere though!

Ah. Didn't notice. Still, point stands. After an hour, it's silly to only then realise you were on the wrong difficulty.

It's not shown when you begin the battle.  That's where mistakes may be made.  When you think you're fighing nm, and it's actually your second key against unm that you didn't need.

I always go back to make sure I have the correct diffi selected. Pita

Hydra usually sends me into the first battle at a higher level than I select.  It is frustrating.  

I hope the Mods tag this for the Community Manager.

What it sounds like you're describing would be a bug which I've not yet heard of. 

Are you saying you try to do say, Normal and it's sending you into another difficulty?

My expectation is that it is more the first option he is presented with doesn't match with what he actually is intending to run. Definitely been in that situation before. Not sure how it concludes which one to select by default, since it doesn't seem to necessarily be always the highest difficulty available.

Quite possible. :)

Probably done it myself too, without noticing.

I dont think it is a bug.  I tend to start Hydra on normal.  The pre select is often a different difficulty.  Since there is no notice which level of Hydra I have chosen once in battle mode, I now check the Hydra team score.  260 is Normal.  280 is Hard.  295 is Brutal

As Kram has suggested, showing battle difficulty on the battle page would help a lot.

Gotcha, that makes sense.

The game pre-selects the hardest possible stage and this feature is realy neat in dungeons where we have to scroll through many stages to farm the highest one.

But the Hydra and the CB don't have that many stages and we need to farm multiple - there is no point in auto-selection. Basically it solves non-existent UX problem and brings confusion in the course of this.

We need to disable this feature on the Hydra and the CB and the labels won't even be needed (alghough having them would be nice)
