I had an even worse fail earlier today with my archer against lolvenatori, zone 5 and everyone is on for immortal medals, all enemies dead... except the stalker who insta-gibbed me. >>
I've been in parties where that's happened before.
I cringe almost every time I hear Hall say 'How is this going so well?' as a result. xD
Even with the challenge over I'm still getting kicked from most lobbies if I try to play on a level 1 char.
Also noticing a lot of level 20s not prestiging and trying to get all level 20 lobbies going. In Routine.
Can we get a level limit on Routine or something? This is ridiculous. If I have to play solo until level 8-10 to find a public game, why bother playing those characters at all?

Invisible enemies are so much fun, aren't they?
Heh it made me rage-quit archer and switch to assassin. Two can play the invisible buttraep game. Hey there, templar shadow, you haven't seen me yet? Twin fangs out of stealth SIT YO ASS DOWN SUCKAInvisible enemies are so much fun, aren't they?
Finally did my first few pug Perilous games on my 20 Keeper.
Decided to swap out my Chain Lightning and go with Fade Step, Disruption Field, Fade Cloak, Barrier, all upgraded.
Got in a group with a Necromancer and two archers, all with levels in their late teens.
Run was going fairly smoothly, I was having mixed success Fade Stepping into a crowd of mobs, popping Disruption Field, hitting Fade Cloak and getting the hell out of dodge (Or reapplying Barrier if it was off cooldown.) And then I got greedy on the last group on I think Zone 4 in Tevinter Ruins. And instead of retreating after Disruption Field I actively searched for another archer to Fade Cloak. I found him alright, him and his two other friends outside the Disruption Field 
was turned into a pincushion in no time flat.
After that I left the lobby in shame and decided to go back to what I was used to. Swapping Disruption Field back with Chain Lightning and found another group with a Legionaire, a Hunter and an Archer. That one went relatively smooth as well(And I was much more cautious lol.) There was one memorable scene where we were fighting Demons in Tevinter Ruins. The hunter went afk, so the Archer and I were hiding behind the Legionaire while he had his shield up, reflecting back the bolts of like 6 or 7 wraiths shooting at us, while I kept Barrier up. It was kind of comical, us slowly inching forward gaining ground.
Eventually, we got to Zone 5. The Hunter and Archer grabbed the Demon Commander while the Legionaire and myself stood guard at the chokepoint in the room. I just want to say holy crap the Demon Commander is like in turbo mode on Perilous! His three shriek fear thing is so fast. I did what I could to alternate Barriers between the ranged and the Legionaire, but eventually the Hunter and Archer went down and entered the Fade.
Then something happened that I've never seen happen.
The Legionaire grabbed the Demon Commander, did that thing where you run a little then turn around and block his uppercut. And then the Demon Commander just stopped. No attacks, no burrowing, he just stood there while we dps'ed him down. It was weird.
I finally managed to complete a PuG where no one died, and I didn't crash to dashboard or lose connection.
It was an absurd Routine roflstomp.
And now I must sleep. Or drink more. One of the two.
Had a bunch of good pugs today with names I didn't reckernize. Except the one Hunter who thought he'd turn my dungeon crawler into a speed run. Not on my host, buddy. I want the loot. ALL of the loot. Every mother****in' 11 gold pot. Dropped him like he was hot.
Finally got a unique 1 hander. Unfortunately, it is level 10. Firm Tournament Axe for the duration, I guess. 
Well, three games in a row, three completions, no deaths, and I'm done in. I was a barriering (I know it's not a word, shaddap) and Healing Mist madman of an Ele for a while there but a brother has just got to drag these old bones to bed.

Lost connection, host migration failed, game crashed, searching threatening -> no lobbies found. Then found routine game with some superhero Archer as a leader. Didn't see a single enemy in that game lol. Good games.

Is this after you downloaded the destruction DLC?
Yup after.
Yup after.
I always get humbled when I try to play Katari on threatening. It feels like most people stick to ranged classes above routine and I usually do, too. Melee just isn't as fun.
I just hoped combat roll would make things better. Then I got spawns with 6 archers. On routine it's TOTAL domination with Katari, on threatening it's ok against melee enemies, but total ******* against archers.

Might just be a gear or L2P issue? I've soloed Threatening comfortably now, and in a group the only problem is other players dying, or messing up spawns. 2x Heal-on-Kill makes much a big difference for him.
As i've said before though, he scales so badly: my next test is soloing Perilous vs all factions, and TBH about the only thing i'm missing is Sulevin, and i doubt that will make things much easier.
Personally i find the Katari much more fun than ranged kits. Love PUGing with him, as the randomness of your teammates really adds excitement to extracting. Some good games on the weekend with him.
Also promoted my Elementalist, and PUGed two Routines, before going to Threatening. Such a difference in care you need to take compared to Katari though...

I was playing a threatening on my katari yesterday, had a keeper in my party. Every big group, keeper would hit me with barrier then use static cage. I'd rush in with charging bull then turn around and use mighty blow. Ever group was dead within a couple seconds, it was pretty fun.
I had another good one, I tried to join a game in progress and nothing happened for a few minutes, then the name plates started going wacky so I quit, but then it gave me all the exp from whatever game I had tried to join. Almost as good as joining at the end of wave 5.

I had one doing that last week to my Katari. A completely different experience. It felt like routine stomping.
Found a good team on threatening my keeper and an arc warrior were the last two standing against the Venatori, maker bless barriers. Stuck with that team all was going well got to 4/5 aaaaaaaaaaaaand disconnect, welp nothing ever changes it seems, still getting boned by the servers. Just like old times. Also I'm sure I didn't get my third chest, unless we were only given two for completing the challenge. I dunno I only dipped into it for the first time this weekend just to see what it's like, oh that lag, disconnects, folk kicking on routine loooooools.

There is some weirdness with matchmaking and such, but I'd be willing to place at least even odds that your internet is to blame (based on past experience.) 
And the challenge would only have returned 2 chests, I believe. One for each challenge. But not for Xbox.

DAMP ain't half bad, the RNG is worse than ME3 I noticed, I keep getting the same weapons over and over again. *flips table*
Need new maps bad, really wish you could swap out weapon/armor attachments too or at least salvage the armor you don't use.
This weekend challenge was fun, dropped down to routine with high level kits, PS4 succeeds!

I found it took a lot less time invested to turn up top-tier weapons. I don't have the best weapons in every category (except archery, if you count Trepanner's) but I have high level stuff for every weapon type, and I've played a tiny fraction of what I put into ME 3. I'm sure it's a grind to get those ultras, the top-level unique ones, but I'm 95% of the way there with what I have, so I'm cool with it.

Welp I only started playing it this weekend, my complaint would have more weight if I was grinding for a few months perhaps. 
I like DAMP so far, not as fun as ME3 though but it's early days I'll keep playing hang around for new maps/characters/challenges.
Welp I only started playing it this weekend
