I wanna know for... reasons.

 

I've done a few really funny things before. Some of my AE missions have introduced things like stealth dominators, for example. That one usually gets a chuckle out of people.

 

My current favorite is the map that I made because I thought it would be hilariously hard on the server (but nope, runs smooth as butter). It's a map where every single enemy has access to gang war, and they use it right at the start of combat to hilarious results. There's also a terminal in the map you can activate to trigger an ambush, which hilariously results in them camping the door if you get sent to the hospital. 

 

I thought about maybe doing a map where it looks like a traditional fire farm, but there's one rare enemy that does like ice or psychic damage or something.

Well, lots of things.  The thing that most annoys me is SFMAs that use Fire Farm NPCs.  Your average non Fire Farmer isn't built to take that much fire damage so it's a PITA when you run into mobs and mobs of them.

 

On a more comedic note, when I was writing my first AE arc (Dark Deeds in Galaxy City: Part One), I had given one mob of enemies Beam Rifle and Force Field.  A beautiful combo you'd think.  Ah, not so fast!  Myself and my two test mates ran it and we were bounced around the room with Repulsion, could barely land a hit on anything and eventually PINNED TO THE CEILING AND BEAM RIFLED TO DEATH.

 

So.

Force Field was swapped out for Time Manipulation.  Yeah, layered Distortion Fields can SLOW things down, but it was better than the test version!  Be thankful none of you ever saw it.

Oh man I've had some real "fun" dealing with knockbacks when I wasn't prepared for it.

I had someone recommend a farm, and tried it on my new regen tanker and spent three straight runs back from the hospital laughing the whole time because my character was literally on her ass for the entirety of the fight.

Hmm, most annoying?  Maybe loud enough environmental noise (reactors?  water?) that you can't hear the multiple glowies you need to click, all while being constantly ambushed by Sappers, Embalmed Cadavers, and screaming Cimerorans in either the pool room or the cake room, and then having to escort an easily killable NPC out.

This ^ is hilarious and almost makes me want to play a Beam Rifle/Force Field toon.  Almost.  😉
