Have things gotten harder?

When I played a couple of years ago, 22 tough points seemed to get me through every case level pretty well. Now it seems that everyone clams up without even answering one question on AI. I still solve more than I quit, so it's not that bad, but sometimes it feels like even my contacts clam up on me. Just kidding about that of course. I was wondering if it really had gotten harder (maybe an answer to the higher stat equipment won on AV hunts and the addition of shoes) or if it's just me.

Hey Gena,

Stuff like this pops up from time to time. The first time I had a week's worth of clammy sammies, I figured it was because Ben was mad at me and jealous of my luxuriant chest pelt. But after a few other people told me they had had the same problem, I felt better.

I really just think we all hit rough computer-generated patches every so often, at random. I think I'm somewhere around 22 tough as well and I know how frustrating it is when you're all set to break off yo' foot in someone's arse, and you don't even get a chance to kick. That's why I quit working at Foot Locker, actually.

Here's a link to a similar post from a while back:

hmm. I still think it has something to do with the chest pelt.

Crunchpatty, I presume you keep spare feet in the equip locker to replace the one that gives the boot.

I am fairly new to the game, but have already come across those occasional frustrating days where I get four notes as evidence and everyone's claiming they had a book club meeting with the librarian for their alibis as well, people are clamming before I can get a stilletto booted foot in the door to introduce myself and every guilty party is the client and my money is slowly sinking with bribes to witnesses I am doing favours for!

Good times. Luckily there's always another day... *wink*
