Started some public Nightmare runs solo because quick match can't find anything.
Fist game:
An Arcane Warrior joins me at the end of zone one. We run through the next zone or two pretty smoothly, then get joined by a level 19 Assassin. The Assassin seems to be doing all right, other than the fact that they keep spamming "Over here!" at every door. At the start of zone 5 everything quickly goes downhill. The Arcane Warrior dies in the first 30 seconds. I would go revive him, but at this point I realize why the Assassin wasn't dying in the last couple zones; they are hiding in a corner in stealth. I kite everything for a few minutes, waiting for the Assassin's stealth to run out so I can get a break from all the archers and the mage's stupid homing/staggering attacks. The Assassin never seems to come out of stealth, and I eventually get feathered by archers while simultaneously being stun-locked by mages. The Assassin finally leaves the corner to come rez me, then breaks stealth right as they are walking past the giant group of enemies I was kiting. Instant Death. They both leave, and I start up another game alone.
Edit: Forgot to add that even though the Assassin was in the game for two or three zone, they had no score at the end. Literally useless.
Second game:
I solo through zone 3, and as I enter zone 4 I check the player list. The player who was the Assassin in the last game jumped back in, and is joining with a level 1 Duelist. I run forward to grab everything, then I run back to the beginning of the zone where the Duelist is hiding AFK. Turns out the player wasn't AFK, and they tried to run away for a few seconds before dying. At this point, two more players join the the lobby, and I put a kick on the Duelist, hoping they would get the hint. I run ahead a little farther, kill another spawn, and when I check the player list again, everyone has one kick vote on them. I plugged in my mic and politely ask the other players to kick the Duelist. I tell them I don't mind if either of them brings in a level one (one of them was), and that I wanted them gone because of other reasons. Still no kick votes on the Duelist. The players join and run up to where I am at, at which point I just stop fighting things and let everyone die before killing the rest of the enemies. The key drops, and I sit next to the door, holding the key hostage. I send out some messages to the other players, asking to kick the Duelist. Duelist gets kicked, and we finish the game, no problem.
Third game:
I play one or two more with those two players, then leave the game and grab something to eat. Upon coming back, I still can't find a game through quick match, so I start another game solo. Halfway through zone 2, I notice that another player has joined me. It's that Duelist... again (I even blocked this person, and they still keep getting into my games!). I run back to meet them as they run through the part of the zone I already cleared. They die, and I suicide teabag them into the fade (I needed the Darkspawn kills, otherwise I would have just quit).
TL;DR - People who have 10 hours in multiplayer should stay out of Nightmare.
I had a great time reading this.
Brilliant.
Retour en haut
TheThirdRace, Drasca, Girltriesgames, latmagicman, SpaceV3gan (I think...) and I'm sure I'm forgetting a bunch. If you were on the PC and playing this weekend, I probably ran across you.
I asked, but the player didn't have a mic. Anyone know what combination of gear is needed to do this?
> Yes, you did.</ 
I am putting together other events throughout the coming weeks, for those that feel like adding some "silly" to their grindage.
