List Praetorian bugged ambushes here.

I'm kinda tired of these - they occur all across praetoria. Massive ambushes that are just impossible. I didn't see a consolidated thread for listing them. Maybe tomorrow's patch will include a fix, but if not, list them here.

Mission Title and Contact.


"Check out Omnitek" by Alec Parson

The third mission "Progress" from Dr. Hetzfeld.

There is quite a few ambush spawns throughout the mission, which aren't too difficult to handle; but the problem is that they spawn early in the mission while the combined time it takes for the 'downloads' needed to complete the mission ends up being 7 (seven) minutes. In other words, the map was completely cleared and no ambushed were left and I ended up standing around doing nothing until the downloads were all completed.

It would make more sense to have the ambushed tied to clicking the glowies or to later in the mish instead of at the beginning.

The last "Hunt Down Shen" mission from Bobcat.

Did it last night solo with a scrapper and gigantic mobs of Syndicate kept swarming in, even though I was still working on the last 2 mobs that came in. I go so overwhelmed by incoming ambushes that I couldn't even see my toon anymore. After destroying me, I waited til they cleared and used an awaken. While in the stunned state, I got 3 more ambushes that rushed in and promptly faceplanted me.

I went to the hospital and dropped that mission like a hot potato.

I believe the point of the Shen mission is that you just have to find him and take him down before the ambushes take over. They're just itty-bitty weakling minions, and since they keep coming, it was the only way I could find to complete the mission while retaining my sanity.

"Steal Data from Neuron's Labs" from Dr. Hetzfeld

Edit: to clarify, this is the one described by SoftRogue above

The last mission "Freedom For All" (it's Single Player) from "Seer 1381".

Seriously.. those ambushes on a single player mission? I ended up calling support after dying twice and hitting the glowies. One ambush of that size (2 minions 1 Lt.) would have been more than enough, especially since if you die they wander back and sit next to where the Seers spawn in the mish.

If we're all going to be oppressed and/or killed by someone, it might as well be the walking trees. At least they don't speak in annoying code or doublespeak. They just devour you.
