I would strongly recommend turning down your difficultly settings before testing these out.

[Heronator]

Chip's mission send-off dialogue seems to be a bit off. He says things like "You head out to capture this punk and show everyone who's boss", or "You set off to complete your diabolical scheme". It seems like this is either text that's supposed to go into a different text field, or it ought to be colored differently to indicate that it's not literally being spoken aloud by Chip to us.

No need.

 

Learn how to use insp is what I recommend. You use insp? You can chew through them like any other regular mob.

What have you tested and at what difficultly?

Depends on what you're trying to test, no?  If the point is to determine whether they are in balance with current repeatable missions, then I feel like keeping difficulty settings exactly where they are is what people should be doing.

BWI and +4×8.

 

And Freaklok at +2×8 but that was just to get a feel. Easily able to +4×8 them.

 

Remember, this isn't HM. It may take using insp but nothing, and I mean NOTHING in KW is hard.

 

The blaster builds I make cant do it at +4×8, but they cant do anything at that diff solo as they are very specifically curated to 4 star content.

 

Literally anything else you could ask me to build and I'd be mowing KW repeatables like grass on a summer weekend. 

 

Just. Use. Insp.

Not sure if this is the right location, but I was running a repeatable mission given by the Blackwing Liaison:  Stop the UPA Get the bomb, Defeat Dumpster, mainly to test out Psionic Armor and rounding up the baddies on the second floor and they just started disappearing.   Not as in stealthed, no bodies on the floor, just gone.  I lost my herd 😭.

[Warspite]

Managed to catch some disappearing, am I missing something plot wise?

No, I saw it yesterday. It's a bug the devs have also seen and are looking at it.

[Headhunter]

Some maps are broken. If you see disappearing enemies, doorways opening into black voids, or similar oddities, please type /whereami and include the map name in your bug report. Thank you!

[KaizenSoze]

The glitch has changed colors but is still there.

Thank you for lowering the number NPCs in the bank mission. Much less frustrating.

[KaizenSoze]

Since, you added a BWI repeatable.

 

Probably next page, but you should add some PPD Awakened to the rotation of enemies.

 

Right now, they only appear in that first mission.

[KaizenSoze]

Another next page thought. Red side repeatable have to fight a stronger set of enemies than blue side.

 

You might want add some new nasty groups to the blue side list. Or have some of the stronger ones have "rogue" versions.

[Headhunter]

The PPD aren't supposed to be doing operations in Kallisti Wharf, so they probably won't show up in future repeatable missions. But we'll see when we can add more groups to the repeatables, or more kinds of repeatables. There's a lot of other stuff to do in the future.

They are the odd duck out. Don't spawn on the street. Only briefly in Market Crash as an ally. Not sure if they are in the mission arcs.

 

Maybe switch that mission to Malta? Then add Malta to the repeatables next page. Malta seems like a good blue side repeatable, since I am guessing they don't get along with BWI.

So mobs are more annoying not that I think this is a problem in itself.  Like the Warriors, can hit like a truck, got higher base def and better perception, thats a part youi can adapt to, the annoying part for me was, that the bosses would allways chicken out and run away. Now tthat the bring sometimes bring friends with them back was the better part.

 

I think if you "relearn" some of the groups like better pull them and not jump into the center of them or bring a lot of yellows with you, when you don"t run e.g. focused accuracy vs. the Skull the battles will then become considerably easier again.

 

My first experience was with a Fire/Rad Sentinal vs the PPD, well I didn't even know i had an appointment at the hospital. Fights with a Fire/Dev Blaster on the other hand were then considerably lighter again. My controller got issues and a ambulance transport from Skulls and Poison Defender was then rather underchallenged again.

 

Dark/Fire tank hat to do some very crazy things to get into trouble, most of the time it just tickled.

 

 

IMO the whole this is not that bad. Good challenges if you can run it at +4/x8, depanding if you use inspiration or how you build your AT. It will be intersting to see whether many will now also tackle this content in a full in the lvl 40+ range. 

 

Tested only the hero broker.
