Joined a perilous PUG this morning before work to do a quick run.. jumped right into the last 2 seconds of the victory flag I kid you not.    The host left and I became the host.  Since I got the free xp, I felt obligated to do another match.   1 match turned into 2 because it went so smooth and fast.   I am already late for work but was going to do one more since there were 2 level 19 in the group so we could get them to 20.   Then I was told that I should switch to NM... since everyone in the group could solo perilous.   I did and it went just as smooth and fast.   So I hosted my very first NM PUG.    A little late for work but it was fun.

Big ty to Pep*, Ustkust, GSAFIII and Argon89PL for smooth FC NM runs today. Probably missing someone out that joined the runs. Got the Tezpadam´s Bane in the last run, one of three things on my wish list (Crescent is not in that list yet, it´s to far away in the future).

I spent the afternoon running random on perilous with a pair of PUGs. One of them was fairly capable and carried their own weight. The other only ever left the first room on zone 5 where they moved up to plant the flag and then hid in a corner doing notning. After every run they switched to a different level 1 character. I'm assuming the pair were friends and one is helping the other build up promotions. Wish I had an uber-promoted friend to do that for me. Of course, I wouldn't just stand in a corner and leech the entire time.

Or the same person controlling both.    But actually I never kick anyone standing at the beginning of the zone doing nothing.   I pretty much only start a match that I could solo, so unless they won't run up the flag in zone 5, they don't get kicked.   Nothing wrong with giving out some free xp, maybe some day they will pay it forward.

See the good in people is a positive attitude.

+1 for it

Perilous is filled with heavily promoted and well geared players that should be playing Nightmare.

Seriously, Perilous matches with my scrub account usually involve there being two players in the group who could solo with their level ones. I just grab gold and kill stragglers.

Nightmare is empty. Only players you find are top 50 leaderboarders soloing or new players hoping to catch a ride with one of the leaderboarders.

Go figure.

Should have been playing with me, Yeti and the Don last night then, scrub.

Been confirmed that there's been a few players who are new to damp trying to earn a surplus of xp through unearned efforts on xbox one. Some people are bringing in low level characters/inquisition armors to nightmare and hoping to piggy back off experienced players. Ferelden castle seems to be a leecher haven now with newbies hoping to get to the end game and receive the best gear before they even learned how to play the game.

Don't know what happened lately to the community as it seems it's turned into newbies wanting hand outs from experienced players, but there's a reason for lower difficulties and there's no shame in playing games in threatening or routine at least they are contributing. And Hakkon weapons don't really help if your cunning is paltry to begin with nor if you can't even withstand a fire wraith looking at you.

I've spammed barriers for a few NMs even though I actually have no chance in NM atm, I'm only like 17 21 25 in promotes. But I have fun running away from mobs that can delete my sarebear, while giving barriers and my little speed buff to my team. :3

 

Call it glorified leeching I guess.

 

I can sort of do Perilous though, not on warriors, but on my Archer, and Keeper, obviously sarebear too... Well I can sort of do it on my templar, but its more like jumping around and waiting for WoH combo. xD

[Jugger nuggss]

If you're gonna piggyback off me at least have the decency to die close to me so I don't have run over and teabag you.

At least your bringing something to the table.

Just ran through a Threatening match as my level 1 Avvar where clearly none of the pugs were ready for Threatening.  A lowish-level Templar equipped with the dragon armor and seemingly decent portrait, title, and banner.  An Archer that is clearly new with starting armor, a low-tier bow, and no banner, title, or portrait.  And a higher-level Hunter equipped with the dragon armor with the Perilous portrait and a seemingly decent banner and title.

 

Jump into the match and it's Ferelden Castle vs. Qunari and Sparky.  One of them got downed in zone 2 (the Archer, I think), the Templar played 75% defense and 25% offense, and the Hunter was taking a bit too much damage for me to believe he truly was a legit Perilous vet.  Ended up having help them take down an Arcane Horror, but I didn't see much issue with the group at the time.

 

Zone 3 wasn't all that great, since we cleared the first and second mobs (the Hunter defaulted to camping at the bottom of the ladder, which seemed odd at the time), and then everyone got killed by a Revenant that spawned when they tried to open a chest.   They all died within seconds of each other, too.  That was the final indicator that these guys weren't ready for Threatening.  I dealt some damage to the Revenant before picking up the Hunter, then went back to attacking the Revenant.  It took the Hunter a few seconds to realize that he should probably try to pick up the Templar and the Archer while I kept the Revenant focused on me.  After that, they had issues staying up against the Qunari, even with me taking most of the aggro (ended up having to use a regen potion during the fight).  In the midst of the battle, one of the pugs called the dragon, so we wouldn't have to worry about the Qunari Commander.

 

Zone 4 was worse, since everyone had dropped at least once, the Archer going to the Fade, and both the Hunter and the Templar were struggling to stay alive.  Eventually got through it, but now everyone had exhausted their revives (excluding me).

 

Zone 5 was torture.  The Hunter was the first to take a trip to the Fade, the Archer soon being taken down by Sparky's vortex and the Templar taking a claw to the face.  Cue 10-15 minutes of me slowly inching the dragon's health down (used my second regen potion in zone 4).  Used up both of my health potions, but I eventually got the dragon near death, but it summoned its Guard as I charged.  I went all out on the Sparky, trying desperately to take out the last of its health, and when it only had a sliver of health left (as did I), it summoned its Guard again.  Needless to say, at that point, there wasn't much of a chance of me killing Sparky.

 

We loaded back into the lobby (the Archer had left) and I went to level up my Avvar (managed to get from level 1 to level 9).  As I was mapping Lady's Wrath..... CTD.

 

I was not happy.

I can only imagine it's because they can't solo NM with lv1s like some promo scrubs

[JiaJM98]

snip

lol so much drama for a threatening match

I'm under the impression that dragon armor makes you unstoppable in Threatening though, even with sub zero promotions. Maybe i'm wrong...

Nightmare is empty. Only players you find are top 50 leaderboarders soloing or new players hoping to catch a ride with one of the leaderboarders.

Go figure.

 

172/255/200. Can't play NM with Legionnaire (never use guard), Katari, Elementalist, Keeper (never use barrier), Alchemist (never use mines), Necromancer, Templar, Avvar, Virtuoso and Saarebas (never use left tree abilities except Leap). Can guaranteed solo NM (against any faction) with Reaver only, barely can use Hunter (never use Stealth on him).

 

Go figure.

[Thesexyscot]

is it possible to be under geared for threatening

Playing more than a couple of Nm games gives me a severe case of cramp but I can play Peri for much much longer.

[Rhorim]

Nothing like going into a match and seeing everyone crawling at the opposite end of the zone.... Or seeing a group of 3 getting owned by the zombies in a treasure room.  

[Rhorim]

Or better yet, listening to a kid talking about texting his dealer for a gram....

Well maybe that's the reason why... Why over nerfing yourself?

It's not overnerfing. I simply won't play NM and HB at all cost.

Awww... That's sad. You really miss out if you don't play HB   It's tough, yes. But simply crushing everything in Perilous is really no fun

 

If you can't die half of the time in a difficulty, it's not very interesting is it? NM gets my heart pumping, but HB makes me hyper

Nm is a snorefest when pugs call spongebob dragon. Nm Zone 5 is lots of fun when your team has some testicular fortitude to place the banner. It's even better because you earn way more xp. I mean how many elder dalish bows do the average puggers want?

Hb had a lot of potential but flopped. it's empty 95% of the time. The 5% have turned into a solo game type due to the lack of rewards and incentives for the majority player base to farm daily. Xp isn't that great either given the noticeable difficulty vs. NM.
