Save scumming. What is it?

I think we’re understanding the meaning behind that post differently

This is actually what is causing the difficulty spike for many people.

It’s actually expected that the player will lose some missions or will at least take some casualties.

> When a player reloads to ensure they only ever have successful missions and no losses, the games’ adaptive difficulty goes (oh, it must still be too easy), and turns up the heat.

I’m taking as meaning that DDA responds to your results of missions. If you complete 100% and with 0% losses then it’s going to go up. If you fail to complete and/or take losses whilst completing missions then it’ll respond accordingly.
