Milrop Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 On Indom, we run Itrials every evening. TPN is usually one on the list each night. Tonight, we noticed more Heavy Commanders and Heavy Troopers than normal. Has anyone else encountered this? I like a challenge in these, but that was insane. Missiles were flying all over the place draining endurance like mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last boss was at about 25%. We couldnt keep the lady from going straight to the center in the cave room. It was like she was on roller skates. This despite us having enough damage (admittedly barely) to get the requirement for putting down penny with only 4 whatevers killed. It was just a rough run.

BlakeTheDrake Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Not an iTrial, but... last night, I test-ran a friend's new AE arc, as a duo, on -1/1. We were SWAMPED with bosses. Every other mob had one, and the mobs themselves were packed in insanely tight, often making it near-impossible to avoid aggroing two or three groups at once. We died something like 5 or 6 times each, in a single mission, and gave up on continuing. He swore up and down that he hadn't done this on purpose, and that in fact there were no settings that could MAKE it happen - and also that it hadn't behaved like this when he ran it with a few other friends just a few days ago... I wonder if something in the new patch has affected boss-spawns. If so, I need to get on my Badger, stat, and start racking up those badge-mob kills! 😛 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like he (intentionally or not) had it 4/8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missiles were flying all over the place draining endurance like mad. I did a Manti yesterday and I did notice a few points along the way where there was a lot of boss-heavy spawns (5-6 bosses and maybe a minion). Nothing scientific, just something I kinda went "huh" to yesterday.

Hedgefund Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I've seen all PP boss spawns in Manti before, something like 3-4 bosses. I noticed it in a post p7 Manti but wasn't surprised by it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonSheep Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 this sounds exciting - will run a few TFs tonight and see if anything feels different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Projector3 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 My SG did a Keyes iTrial last night on Excel and noticed all the Victoria Bosses in Reactors 1-3 were replaced with War Walkers, and in the bunkers and in Reactor 2 they were replaced with Sentry bot bosses. It actually made the trial easier, since you didn't have to deal with Victoria melee spam while trying to click glowies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of AOE auras and taunts going on unfortunately. I think probably should’ve really been stressed not to do it. Even after it was said multiple times to not, I was still getting taunted a lot. it’s a hard trial so I didn’t mind honestly, I actually enjoy failing things in the game lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar Ronin Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Between this and the various reports of the RWZ story arcs and some screenshots I've seen of other missions, it's sounding like bosses are spawning in place of lieutenants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does, which would explain issues with the portal spawns reported for the Serpent Drummer defend Portal Corp mission, what it doesn't explain is the sheer number spawning and that all portals seem to start spawning villains as soon as the first portal is attacked. We got problems folks... Photo Courtesy of @Sechs Edited February 22 by Marine X 1 " When it's too tough for everyone else, it's just right for me..."

You just got to be the one to do it yourself, with Clarion Core Destiny and/or Tactics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milrop Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 We went back tonight and sure enough, all the mobs that used to be Commanders got promoted to Heavy Commanders. Missiles were flying all over again. but we were expecting them tonight. We also noticed that Anti-Matter has dismissed the Vicki's in Keyes and is now using War Walkers in their place.

Snarky Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) Just ran a abandoned sewer trial. I dont think it was any tougher than it has ever been. It was tough enough. There were 5 of us. Although it seemed at least one person (random, and at least one (me for a min) was dead at any time. Now I joined this pug, led by a 50. And. Not. A. Single. Other. Person. Knew. Anything. It was brutal. But I just kept typing the same stuff out in chat and they mostly did it. Best interchange of the Trial. random teammate. “I just used AoE on a generator.” me. “Ya, dont do dat” random teammate. “Okay dad” Once I had communicated the plan it took three cycles to knock it down. We were only given 3 particle cannons. I think we could have done it in two but the first round a few people freaked at the ambush. I gave more “encouragement” on tactics for round two lol Edited February 23 by Snarky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
