Tried to find Nightmare matches on the Ferelden Castle so I can get some more Hakkon weapons.  First one I found a good group, but they were on the Tevinter Ruins.  Played through the match with them before leaving.  Found a lobby on the Ferelden Castle with a level 18 Avvar.  He was pretty good, but we got Qunari and 2 randoms who were clearly not ready for anything above Threatening joined in, only making things more difficult for me and the Avvar.  Ended up with me doing a final stand in zone 3 against 2 Saarebas and a Hyena.  I made the mistake of trying to revive the Avvar when he got downed, which resulted in me being knocked on my ass several times in a row before Guardian Spirit procced.  Managed to survive a bit longer, but the Saarebas got me despite me dealing a lot of damage to them beforehand.

 

Now I can't find a single lobby.  Anyone up to help me get some Hakkons?  Kind of annoying that I'm stuck with just 1 right now, and yet I see a lot of people running around with them in random matches.

One player looked like he had lags since start. Zone 5, three of us are standing at the banner and the laggy one could not move (you could see him trying but always returning to original place. I waited a bit then I voted kick, another player voted kick. The guy did not leave the other one was not able to find the kick option.

 

After a bit more waiting I left, (I was host so we all know about the luck of Host Migration ^^)

 

What´s wrong with the people? Not leaven when they have to realize there is no way to do that. Not kicking when they have to realize he will not fix it and not come to the banner. Anyway I hope the migration worked for you guys ^^

Took Autumn_Witch on a NM dragon run.

No Hakkon.....just Dagger of the Dragon for her

I haven't seen a Hakkon for anyone in so long now

Ran into a group of guys getting herbally enlightened, very nice fellas

Outside of Book Reward Chests, all my Hakkons and level 27 are from store bought chests.   I don't believe in NM dragon... I believe in CASH! Just like the real world.. throw enough money at them, something is gotta give..... muhahahaha...

 

Just need 2 more hakkons and 2 more level 27's.

I had salvaged 2-3 hakkons for the chance of higher damage ones and curiosity. It took a couple of weeks but I finally got a hakkon on a nightmare dragon run. Didn't have to play too many but they do occasionally still drop in nightmare dragon runs. Have also gotten one from a store chest and I have gone through many chests over the last few weeks.

Tried a Routine game just to level my Archer past 1. Another Archer joined, then two more. All-Archer party!

Archer firing squad will always be my favourite way to play.

Played a Perilous against darkspawn where all bolters on map 4 had been transformed into wolves. Easy-peasy, but I almost wished they'd still would be using crossbows .

Just had a great evening!

 

Two early drops to a Narnia type screen, then back in game but no HUD and only keyboard responding. Then a few crashes out, apologies if you are reading this and I appeared to bottle out,

 

Finally, in a torch zone, everything going well until the player with the torch goes down, and then vanishes (I guess a CTD). The torch vanishes as well. Kill the remaining enemies, but nothing happens. I'm leader (by accident) so the only thing to do is drop out and hope for a successful migration (some chance).

 

And the really annoying bit is that the PUGs I joined all seemed to run pretty smoothly.

 

So to start it off,

I am fairly sure that Narnia has a direct relation to the internet connection speed of the person who is in Narnia, unless the person is the host then everybody could be in Narnia.   The few times I was in by myself... I found out later that my internet speed dropped to under 3 mbps becuase of ISP problems.  Normally I have 60 mps.

Started a solo perilous with Arcane Warrior (well, normally all enemies oneshot me: stormpact belt. But ... who cares. just kill something to get >lvl1). Game was public. 3 Players joined. Everything was nice until there was an enemy who could not die. "Rejoin" was not a solution. Public game. No "friends" in game. Leaving the game (area 4 !) was not an option.

 

Then I have been kicked because i was host (well, i hoped they would all leave because i was dead at the moment or maybe they would be smart enough to realize that the dragon would be able to kill them, so that we all would get some EXP, but... no.).

Yea. No expierience. Okay. Lets join another game. No problem if im staying far behind while using chain lightning.

 

Next game: Got kicked after 2nd death - well no partyplay, they just ran through and didnt care for any enemies left because "the guy behind me can kill him ... oh there is nobody behind me???". It's awesome if some players with 200 cunning (100% hit chance) and Hakkon weapons are not able to handle perilous mobs. Just running through = mobs are spawning everywhere and the party has to run around to pick up every single enemy...

 

Okay, next game... "connection error"...

Okay, lets play something different than DA ... ;x

 

 

promotion system is really bad. I got a nice party. I'm carrying some guys through perilous. Then i became lvl20, reset to lvl1. Party realized that they have to carry me this time -> most players are leaving. Then im lvl1 ... and now? Routine because nobody is able to carry me? Strange.

If a lvl1 player is joining my game - perilous - i dont care because he will be lvl10 after that run and he will carry me after my reset. It is just this "social thing". But some players.... :x

 

 

Another funny situation:

 

castle cleared (normal boss, dragon is still flying around) and it is bugged. Im host - again, i should not host anything...! Okay, 2 tried to kickvote me. I killed myself (dragon). 4th player killed himself by dragon too. The other 2 players stayed in game. Nothing happened. They ran around, evaded each shot of the dragon ... well i went in kitchen to eat something. 15 Minutes later: they were gone and the other player who killed himself is on my friendlist now.

Seems like there's more than one type of Narnia, though. One is the type you mentioned, where a bad connection drops you into it and you can't get out. The other is some kind of placement/spawn bug where someone gets snapped into Narnia and loses a bunch of health, but can return to the normal map by jumping off the edge. Usually.

It works sometimes, I swear. Your solution is the correct one, though.

Sounds like they were trying to give you some kills so as to not make it boring.  I'll let a few pass me so that I don't end up with a 30+ kill streak.

 

2nd death by when though?  If not even past the 1st level, then yeah I would figure you're in over your head.

Well, a lvl1 arcane warrior is not able to handle a single archer on Perilous on its own (with stormpact belt). But if the group sticks together im able to deal a huge amount of damage by using chain lightning and autoattacks. I just need some support.

 

Kickvote != Support.

 

I got many games with really nice players: keeper which casts barrier on me so that i can fight normally, players which try to stand in my front to "catch" all projectiles, .... it is not a problem at all.

 

But just running around while not caring about teammates = fail. These players should not play public game. "Private" is their best option.

[Rhorim]

More like they were doing speed runs.  Do a quick FC threatening instead of perilous.

Then carry me one round and ill increase the killspeed or carry the following rounds (when others have to promote).

Well i'm kicking players which dont have any potential. and that is rare (example: lvl18 Reaver is dying multiple times on perilous - sry, play threatening then. A lvl1 reaver? hm? Maybe he will be really good after reaching lvl10? Why should i kick? If we fail he will be lvl5 or lvl8. If he is still dying all the time: kick. But a single "wasted" game? i dont care. I care about fun. Meeting and playing with other players=fun. Having a hard and long match=fun. Running through the map and kicking players which do not lower the killspeed at all? Why?)

You know, in PUG, usually it is not about future match potential.  It is about now, in this match.  I don't even expect my friends to carry me and that's why I don't play my level 1's outside of threatening even though some of my level 1 could solo Perilous with certain factions.  You could get around running certain level 1's at PUG as long as you don't die a lot.  But a level 1 AW wearing pact belt....is usually not one of them unless you got 3 or more bars of health.   An archer or rogue looks you the wrong way you die with your 200 hp.  If you want to stay in perilous as a level 1 AW, you should take off your pact belt.   You are not going to do much damage but you could survive longer and generate less aggro.  Don't even do CL... just basic attacks, or time your CL so that everything it stuck will be dead and not coming after you.

[Rhorim]

Person fading can add 5 to minutes to a run. Can do a run in around 15-20 minutes. You dying can have a drastic increase in my xp grind. In short find a crew that will babysit your level 1.

Yea, taking off the belt = kick because "low damage".

Handling 2 archers on perilous with pact belt = 1 Chain lightning.

Handle them without belt=close to death.

 

Playing just with autoattacks and without pact belt is same as doing nothing or just leeching exp.

actually i have 8 healthbars (visible for me AND other players) while wearing pact belt ... due to several bugs (=130 health or something like that).

 

You know, in PUG, usually it is not about future match potential.

Well, normally players play more than one round.

Yes you can create a new lobby after each match, but why?

 

If im playing with at least 1 friend and up to two random public players, it is not a problem at all: i promote, he is around lvl18. I'll be lvl 10+ when he will be lvl1 again. Other players can accept this ... or they can leave. 99% stay in game because they know that it's just each 5th or 6th game wich will be a little bit slower, but in average time needed for each map is still okay.

 

1 Map = 10-15 Minutes (castle +5 minutes).

 

Players which cant think further than the next 10 Minutes.... k thx bye ;x

In short: why do you play with other players then? This is this "social thing": strong players helping weaker players. 

On same or similar (lower) promotion level each player will be weak and kind of useless after promotion (compared to his teammates).

 

Maybe the game is more than EXP per Minute. Maybe its about teamplay, meeting other players, talking in partychat ......... having fun.

 

If you dont want to "babysit" other players, play private games. If you play publics: deal with low promos. deal with lvl1 players which need a babysitter for a single(!) map.

[Silversmurf]

You can still do great damage as a level 1 without pact belt and a 30% HOK on your Hakkon staff

Just depends on promotes.
