Clunker Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I've seen a few posts about how some people think that if you die alot on hard the game will reset itself to easy without your knowledge. I think this is a myth, created by someone who screwed something else up along the way. Why? Because I farmed like 50k worth of energon in the Jazz level, killing myself once a minute for probably around half an hour (or 15 mins or something like that). The game never reset it self to easy. And if that didn't do it I can't imagine what would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackout Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I did get stuck at a few parts on hard most notably the end of the Cliffjumper stage where you have to escort the bomb. I failed that part at least 20 times back to back and my game never lowered my difficulty either. Maybe that only happens if you try to exploit the do a level on easy then change the difficulty at the last checkpoint to complete it on hard trick.

Clunker Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 I don't think it ever happens. Someone posted what they THOUGHT happened, people ran with the story, and the myth was born. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moochachoas Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 It is not a myth. I have just tried beating the cliff jumper level about 5 times. First 4 I did the easy trick till last checkpoint and then on hard died a couple times, finally beat it and no hard mode beat for that level. So I started level over on hard and beat the whole thing but died again in last part 1 or 2 times and now it only shows I beat it on normal. So it is not a myth because it is doing it to me. Pissin me off real bad too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackout Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 That again kinda goes back to my theory on this. My very first playthrough I beat the entire game on hard but died alot but had no problems with the clear. I really think this only happens if you initially play on a lower difficulty or try to exploit the checkpoint trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pissin me off real bad too! Are you sure you're doing the cheat right? Are you exiting to the main menu? No way does this game set itself to easy for dieing 1 or 2 times. Something else is going on here. That again kinda goes back to my theory on this. My very first playthrough I beat the entire game on hard but died alot but had no problems with the clear. I really think this only happens if you initially play on a lower difficulty or try to exploit the checkpoint trick. I changed the difficulty around alot during the mid chapters (the ones I had to replay because I was doing the cheat wrong), then played them on hard all the way through, died alot, and the game never set itself.

CODEx_Vip3r Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I'm not saying its true or false, but for the life of me I don't remember dying a lot on the second to last level but I do know what the difficulty for the lt level registered as normal and I don't recall changing it as I went straight from the 12 to 13, but maybe I did maybe I didn't....all I know is I replayed it on hard and got the trophy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossell Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Can I interject and say this has happened to me on Cliffjumpers level and all to do with that bomb. The crazy part is when the Restart menu comes up the Difficulty is always set to Hard. Finish it then Jazzs chapter. Surprise, Jazzs chapter is done on hard but not Cliffjumper. While we're anyone have a guide to this difficulty trick? Such as how to recognise the last checkpoint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunker Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 I still say this is a myth. I just don't believe it. I died a fair number of times on the bomb escort mission and more than a few times at Starscream's coronation. The game never reset to easy. Like I said before, "I farmed like 50k worth of energon in the Jazz level, killing myself once a minute for probably around half an hour." So that's 30 to 40 deaths right on top of one another and the difficulty NEVER changed. Can I interject and say this has happened to me on Cliffjumpers level and all to do with that bomb. The crazy part is when the Restart menu comes up the Difficulty is always set to Hard. Finish it then Jazzs chapter. Surprise, Jazzs chapter is done on hard but not Cliffjumper. Are you absolutely SURE you didn't accidentally change the difficulty trying to do the glitch? If I remember correctly you HAVE to do the bomb mission on hard since it's the last checkpoint.

Rossell Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) I can confirm that I didn't even know the glitch existed at that point. Edit: Oh and it happened on Grimlock Smash as well. Edited January 29, 2013 by Rossell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
