Massively Antisocial-player Online RPG?

It probably goes something like this (substitute 'Trapdoor' for 'Homer'):

That's the cornerstone problem with these "infinite spawn" mechanics - if you fail once, you're screwed. You either restart the mission or you spend all day cleaning it up and failing. It's a pretty big break with standard mission structure in a game which, generally speaking, doesn't offer severe penalties for failure.

Ideally, I'd like to see both Trapdoor and the Rikti spawning portals limited to some sane maximum number of simultaneous summons.

Imagine that. Someone had a different experience than someone else...

/sarcasm

Ew! I need brain bleach. STAT!!!

It's perfectly fine that someone had a different experience from someone else. But if one person complains the mission is too hard and someone else solos it with the same powersets without temps or IO sets then it's not the mission being too hard, the first person is doing something wrong.

Or they just got unlucky, but if that's case they can try again and probably will succeed the second or third time.

Either it's bugged or it's just a case of luck, as in good v. bad.

Thanks Flarstux for posting the screenshot, because in the other thread a lot of us were being called liars for claiming we had massive and/or fast bifurcation respawns.

Telling us we're "doing something wrong" is a total ****** move, man. In my very first encounter with Trapdoor I set up my Snipe and fired it... and missed. He then blasted me with one shot to within an inch of my life and before I could click on a green he killed me with the second shot. I didn't do anything wrong there, I simply had the misfortune of coming up short on a stupid dice roll. And no, I'm not "lacking in Accuracy" or any other retarded excuse you're going to try and use: it's a perfectly competent Blaster build with IOs and IO sets which boost everything from Acc to Regen.

Last weekend. I may have some time to redo this and get some screenies this time.

You DID do something wrong. You tried to open up on an EB solo with a snipe without chugging some oranges and purples first. What did you think was going to happen if you had hit? Think you would have one shotted him?

Say you'd hit him, what was to stop him from killing you right away ANYWAY?


And telling you you're doing something wrong is NOT whatever you said it was. This boggles my mind, what do people expect? Fail at encounters, come here and complain and then expect us to say, better luck next time? NO, I'm going to tell you if you're dying against Trapdoor (repeatedly, occasional bad luck is just something that happens) you're doing something wrong, ask you what you did, and then give you suggestions how to improve.

Why complain here if you don't want suggestions on how to improve?

Here we go, I just got finished with this run. The quit team you see was me getting there the first time and going hmm why not up the diff instead of spawn size to see if I could still beat him.

Hmm, the main difference I see in our power trays is, you have Hasten and Tough, and what appears to be Aid Self. Clearly, those three powers are overpowered and should be nerfed!

NO U

At one time I was planning on using this guy to solo pylons and what have you but I've since stripped the good stuff out of the build and turned it into a Ice Mistral SF toon. All his sets are for that range so I can keep perma ML at that level. Hasten, Tough and Aid Self are tools that increase this toons survivability a good bit.

Well, the first one was really funny, and it made a point... but then there was a second... and then a third.

Now, a "Post screenshots of your Bifurcations log" thread, THAT would be hilarity!

Sequels are rarely as entertaining as the original. 'Aliens' being a noteworthy exception.

Superman 2

Empire Strikes Back

To name a few.

You sir are dead to me.

khaaaaan!
