So recently after revisiting the 4 Patron Arcs I have found that not much has changed.
I mean the main issue here is Captain Mako. The last mission, Steal Primal Essence of the Leviathan, is impossibly difficult.
There have been minor changes... I think... there doesn't seem to be as many whirlpools as I originally remember when it first launched, but there's still allot of them.
Now fonts I can understand why they have such a long attack range, it's to make up for the fact that they can't move. But why the does Calystix have the same attack range when he can chase you! And the pets, he's an EB with more pets than any Mastermind, even Lord Recluse the Mastermind Incarnate can not summon that many pets at one time. To make that even worse, I died away from the EB and these pets came in from a different room to kill me again after I hit an awaken. How can NPCs see me awaken and aggro on me when I can't even see them?
Aside from this mission the other painfully difficult mission is Scirocco and that's only difficult because people have a tenancy to fall off the map and get separated which is actually not that bad at all.
Ghost Widow's mission is perfect. She could spawn right on top of you and kill you depending on your power set but some characters can kill her quickly the moment she appears. Traps MM for example, and this is the only time I've actually enjoyed Traps, set them on the circle where she appears before clicking the blinky and watch her explode.
Black Scorpion is actually painfully easy being the only one of the 4 that I've ever managed to kill solo.
And 3 of these missions I've actually done at my level with little if any problems. Captain Mako on the other hand, I'm 2 levels above when I received the mission plus I changed my difficulty to -1 making the mission 3 levels lower than I am, and I still can not defeat the amazingly difficult Calystix with his ARMY of freaking pets who can be aggregated and attack me from 50 feet away while standing in a room filled with whirlpools. The fonts I don't have issues with, I allready killed the 4 of them. Captain Mako himself I don't have issues with. I just have issues with the whirlpools and Calystix.
My suggestion, make the whirlpools tied to the Fonts so for each Font killed there will be less whirlpools active. No fonts = no whirlpools. And Calystix, just fix him so his rang is that of a normal EB and not the same as a font and put a limit on the amount of pets he can summon so it's no more than 6 at a time. This guy has about 30 pets at a time currently.
