Turric Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 This is one of the few GM badges I have on only a few characters, and always from one of the task forces. But for the regular zone encounter, why does everyone hate it so much? Is there a special trick to it? I've been running regular GM call outs on Everlasting and Excelsior (a few on Indom when population is large enough). These include lots of Seed of Hamidon call outs too. But the one I do not do is the Arachnos Flier and I want to include it because it seems to be one of the most frequent. Why do people not like doing the encounter? As an aside, I really feel the Paladin construction event needs to happen a smidge more frequently. Right now it is one of the more rare GM spawns and it is a little rough getting there in time. I used to think the Caleb event was difficult but I've got it down pretty good now, only losing him once out of 20+ times. (Doing it on Indom is a different story when you post in chat that you got it spawned and no one responds for around 15 minutes..., but the other servers are fine) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Warpact Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Probably because its easier to get it in the Ms Liberty tf, it's stationary in the TF. If it's in zone there's the risk of failure by it flying off the map. https://www.twitch.tv/boomie373 The Revenants twitch channel, come watch us face plant, talk smack, and attempt to be world class villains.

Shred Monkey Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 I've killed the flyer in Grandville. It's invulnerable while it's moving, but it makes several stops. You damage it in those stopped locations. It's been a few years, but as I recall, the best strategy is to wait for it to move and then attack at the beginning of a stop to get the longest attack window possible.

ScarySai Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 I assume squishies have some issues with the banes. I only really chased after it a handful of times, if you have daggers and can handle them, you'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
