Trying to Wipe the Group

[Erratic1]

We had entered the Crey Lab,  cleared that first floor map where there is the large circular equipment bank in the room with multiple groups, a group to the left, and elevators to the right (not important if you don't recognize it), and gone to the next floor where there is a group above, and multiple groups to the right as well as two groups ahead. Note: Everything was +5 to me.

 

So in the midst of fighting, I noticed we were in fact fighting the entire set of groups in the entry, and I then said, "If we're going to fight everything, you might as well go grab the rest of the base and drag it back."

 

But I didn't stop there. I added, "I dare you. I double dog dare you."

 

It was when the next two groups showed up that I knew the challenge had been accepted. We in fact never moved from the spot because groups kept coming. And here I am tossing controls, healing, buffing endurance recovery, debuffing to-hit (Pyro/Dark controller). AND IT WAS AWESOME!!!!

 

So going into the next mission I suggested the goal was to pull so much we wiped. 😁

 

You know the person rounding things up tried. And I kept needling, "Still alive." 

 

I have not had so much fun in a long time.

Yes, it's fun to actually be challenged by the content.

 

I think there should be more random large ambushes in missions.

There should be a more defend a point missions like the Terra Volta respecs.

I do this a lot on teams. But I haven't been on much lately, so it wasn't me that time. :D

Welcome to "en masse" play. It's how I farm with my MMs. Pretty much engage as much as possible and burn it all down. I consider it more a solo activity unless I am with friends who also like playing in that manner, not something I do on random teams as most don't seem to like it. Instead of going group-by-group of spawns you run through the first, past the second, jump over the third, and smash into the fourth and round them all up into a giant death ball. On the Asteroid map I engage 5-8 groups of mobs at a time. While my damage vs brutes isn't even close, since I can engage so many MORE at a time, the damage vs the map as a whole is comparable. Robots before the change used to be ABSURDLY fast - 3 minute clear times in fact. But since the change the missile burn patches got nerfed so it's more like 7 or so minutes now. Nowadays if I want to farm with my MMs I just go with my 3 demon team. Almost as fast, but the pets are much studier which makes it all easier.

 

Just bums me out how the devs seem to dislike people playing in such a way, as they keep changing things to make it more and more tricky to do. Some tricks still work, you can always line-of-sight things, but in wide open spaces unless you are on a AT with pets that can engage a LOT of mobs at a time, the rest of the spawns will just hang back and pelt you with things. But with a big enough aggro list (pets have their own aggro tables) everything will come into the death ball and get clobbered. But to me, going spawn to spawn one by one is JUST.. SO.. SLOW... I mean, if it takes me the same amount of time to burn down one group as it does to burn down 3 groups, why would I stop at fighting one group at a time?
