JasperStone Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Ok...upfront. Yes, I shoulda asked. But no, I shouldn't have to. Hear me out. I joined a PUG Katie last night. I wasn't paying attention to the initial level of our foes. I knew something was up as we got to Mary 4 and 5. A teammate stated: "This was hard." Leader: "It gets harder, we are +2." ... WHAT!? I feel this was never announced but slogged away. Got to Mary 8 and 9. Deaths galore. BUT>>> we got to Mary 10 ... And she decided to give us a tour of the map I mean, THE entire map PLUS Introducing us to all her friends. She would speed away and plop in the middle of a group More deaths. More Trips to my base. Finally. Done and on to the other missions. WE completed! I immediately scrolled through the chat to see the announcement. Yup, no mention of going +2. Went through the team chat...no mention at the beginning of +2. I do feel this needed to be part of forming team etiquette. I KNOW ... "I always ask." ...meh. Should not have to, given how detailed announcements can be. ESPECIALLY on Excel If nothing is said in the announcement ... base lvl. what is your average time to complete a Katie.... guess ours.... 1 1 /e poofgone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonSheep Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 what’s wrong with +2? shouldn’t be that hard - sounds like someone had a fear power that was causing her to run the problem is when it’s ran on +3 or +4 and the final katie ends up being +5 or worse, that’s when it becomes impossible no matter how many team insps you load up on 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminara Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Look at yourself. Now look at @Snarky. Now look at yourself again. Now look at @Snarky again. Now look at the horse. Where the fuck did that horse come from? I forgot where I was going with this. Something something quit the team something. Fucking horse distracted me. Ninja horses, man.

A +5 AV at L34 can easily be problematic. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eiynp Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 if it had been +4 or something I could see announcing it but +2 is a pretty usual diff to run at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgefund Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 +2 is not usual for Katie because of the previously mentioned eventual +5 AV. I personally am "nope"-ing from this scenario if it's a pure pug. Crank it up for the rest of the tf, thats fine, but Mary at +5 is pain and misery at level 34. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlet Shocker Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 To address the OPs opening, I suppose it's absolutely possible that the person responsible for forming the TF totally forgot they are +2. It can happen and if nobody else noticed until it was too late. That happens. No blame need to be apportioned. It's just a game, after all! 1 2 The Ghost Slaying Axe. The very best there is.

ElectricKnight Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Some days, I wake up and life seems to be at +5 more than it usually is. It happens. Sometimes, you just gotta roll with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasperStone Posted March 27 Author Share Posted March 27 I will add... Nobody quit. No rage quits. We handled our business very nicely in the end. Only two team wipes However ... 4 hours ago, Hedgefund said: but Mary at +5 is pain and misery at level 34. This right here. Katie TF is a relatively short one. At +2...not anymore. Took us 45 minutes alone on the first mission. Because of Mary 10. Also, because she ran so much. It took over an hour to finish all. When you have a tight timeframe to play, yes it does matter. 2 1 /e poofgone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can happen and if nobody else noticed until it was too late. That happens. No blame need to be apportioned. It's just a game, after all! I wanted a certain badge (ghost widow) and so joined a team last night. Ad was “chill run full arc”. Gathered a team of 8. It was +2. On nearly every map the team split. It was, in my opinion, anything but chill. I never said a word and did what i could to help. When i wasnt face planted. AR Blaster sidekick. Maybe people think this is “chill”. In my opinion they have not experienced 1) a speed team 2) a team that can actually clean a map quickly. This was a brutal slog through Longbow, Carnies, and Crey. On a team with all the cohesion of a hamburger thrown out a car window at freeway speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
