... Also did we get more mooks in waves? Seems like more.
Seems like that to me too, but I wasn't counting before... ![]()

Used Drasca's definition of soloing and 'solo'ed' Perilous - Perilous is now far too easy for me please buff!

But in all seriousness we had a 4 player team with 2 friends and one pug that was a lot of fun, though there was some odd things going on at times...
first time i saw a good reaver
Cozy. Nothing better than a Barrier prone Keeper as an Assassin.
cleared a couple of perilous demon rounds with randoms. unexpected and most sick.
Ele
changed to lvl 1 keeper in routine and almost wiped. i really wish there was a psa about changes to banner planting. one dude waited for about 3 minutes and then rage-quit cuz he didn't want to leave font room.
Ran into my first Fade Cloak-spamming Elementalist on Threatening earlier vs. Red Templars. He saved it for the last zone, but only used it on the adds. We all went down except for him (damn archers took down my Katari and I was with a Keeper with starter armor along with an Archer with starter armor as well) and he managed to clutch it, though it was a close call.
Odd thing was that I had clutched an earlier match we had against the Red Templars (me, the Archer, and the Keeper) fairly effectively. Granted, I was playing as my Legionnaire, but still. It was pretty annoying that nearly every match we did was against Red Templars, though.
Anyway, all 3 pugs had mics and we were all talking to each other quite a bit. The Elementalist (who had been a Legionnaire the previous match) was a bit weird, but the funny kind of weird. Had quite a few laughs with that group. ![]()

Instafade is awesome.

Most pugs run smoothly even with the new wave 5 perilious. Right now though I mainly play assassin, reaver and necro and only the necro was somewhat more reliant or had benefits from the chocke point. Of course there are sometimes matches where the team is not so strong - like we cleared I think Vents and I was playing reaver and got over 100 kills so I think there are more mooks? Then next match suddenly against red templars and there is only 3 of us most of the time as the fourth player - the other reaver took a quicky to the fade. and the other two players not as experianced as me. I had to carry with a reaver and actually was doing quite well. Then at the end of wave 4 a sneaky spike took out everyone as I could not outdamage it. The end.
Added 27% heal bonus on my armor for Reaver. Even more OP. I think I had 87 or so kills on threatening with a full group of what looked to be well geared and high level people. Dragon rage just eats through everything.
Start game with two other people, only one moves around the other is stuck or something and finally leaves only after I start the fight and the other guy is just running circles around the stationary player.
2nd player half heartedly helps in the battle get through one wave, almost at the end of the 2nd wave, the other guy who was the host leaves putting me back at the start of the level with 1/2 health.
An archer and legionaire show up and we work our way through the levels, they are being totally inconsistent in play stopping at some doors and running past others. I open one door and they run on ahead to get slaughtered at the next spawn. Revenant spawns, great I'm in trouble as the spawn they activated is bleeding into the room. Luckily a well played reaver shows up in the nick of time and we finish the level.
Get to wave 5 me and the reaver run to the flag the others stand there. After calling out for a long time the leigonaire comes over, the archer has not moved a muscle. We wait and call. The reaver runs all the way back to try and clue the archer in. I get on the mic and tell him about the change and ask him to get to the flag. He doesn't move a muscle.
I tell the group over the mic we will have to kick the guy because he is afk, Myself and the reaver toss up kick votes, the legionaire is just wacking his weapon in the flag circle. I politely tell the legionaire how to kick the other guy in case he doesn't know...nothing.Screw this I say to myself, I'm not leaving. I go to the xbone desktop and surf the web for a a few mintues , come back just as the reaver leaves.
Finally I have to leave after about a 25-30 minute total waste of my time.
Leechers? Gee MEMP had a great solution, if idle for 30 seconds kick the player. Nope! We are smarter this time we will et games utterly fail due to the leechers instead! Biologic fail.
You know what would have made way more sense than requiring everyone to be on the flag? Once one person activates it everyone is warped there.
I know that is asking a lot and it isn't easy to add a whole new feature....... wait a minute. That already exists in the game when people are warped to the door when you go to a new zone. Biowre pls!
terrible. necromancer is in the fade. then she is not. ugh
but i got this blade of red birth.
will try it out.

Wait now.....what about AW?!?!?!?!?!

Had something similarly weird happen to me after the new patch.
Joined a Perilous PUG with two Arcane Warriors and Elementalist. I was Level 19 Archer. We ran a match and everything went fine. I promoted after the match and stuck around, so was level 1 going into the next game. But wasn't a big deal as I regularly do that and no one voted to kick me before the game. We play all the way to Wave 5 and suddenly the two Arcane Warriors just go AFK. Never talked before but weren't talking now and not moving at all. The Elementalist and I just stood on the flag beating our D-Pads and shooting things. When I check the "Whos here?" screen, he and I both have a vote to be kicked from someone. Don't know why.
He quits. I don't really know what to do at this point. Made it to Wave 5 with no issues as a level 1 and I knew if we finished i'd have enough EXP to carry the team in the next game. I didn't want to lose that, so I just stood there.
Went to go get lunch. Ate it. Still standing there, no movement.
Turn to my Playstation and watch some Battlestar Galactica. Still there, no movement.
Someone I know from the leaderboards joins the game. I tell him I have no idea wtf is going on but he should just quit cause they're not moving. So he does. Still no movement from these guys.
Eventually a fourth person joins. They all kick me.
Great fun.
Wait now.....what about AW?!?!?!?!?!
oh sorry. i meant to say. the mighty AW tanked demons. teammates died. carried them to victory.
I played I think around 7 matches this morning. Ugh. I was trying to lvl up my tanky characters so I can get on the promotion bus and have higher constitution (I've barely promoted as I have only doing multi for a few weeks now and didn't realize it was a serious advantage, still thinking with my Mass Effect 3 multi N7 head). Extraction/zone 5 experience is harrowing even on Threatening now. I can get through a whole match and not die except for Zone 5.
(this is on Threatening).
I chose to play Threatening because my Legionnaire was a lvl 19 and I was just leveling up. If I had played Routine I would have been seriously OP. I have the Caliban already so I basically slice through everything like butter. We had to kick a player at Zone 5 for one of my matches. There are far too many times when a player or 2 just don't get the message about planting the flag or are just AFK and people have to get on mic to light a fire under their as$es. Uber annoying.
Then I moved onto my lvl 10 Katari. I only opened up his character prior to the recent patch in order to complete the weapons weekend challenge this last weekend. Leveled him up to 15 with much duress. Rampaged through several matches with utter blood lust and failed miserably a couple of times. In one case, spectacularly when I was so into killing EVERYTHING RAWR that I literally looked behind me to see the rest of my team had died and I was falling in the midst of a huge crowd of Red Templars. Ooops.
I apologized over the mic and then proceeded to leave the lobby as quickly as humanely possible.
I am fond of the Katari now I have to admit. When he's covered in blood and whaling on all the enemies he just seems to be in his primal quintessential form. (I have a penchant for admiring when our multiplayer classes conform nicely with lore)

Would be very handy yup, also give us a countdown timer in lobby like ME3 pls.
Terrible...
Took 3 attempts to find a game: ye olde failing to join, and booted back to menu.
The game i got in to had a Keeper soloing, then a Druffalo spawns and kills him. I manage to revive him, run off, and he's down again immediately. The druffalo charges me, and despite a massive rock between us, still kills me!
Meanwhile two others had joined, and revive us, and kill the druffalo.
Game goes smooth until about wave 3, when it becomes super-laggy every minute or so. we get to wave 5, where it just lags out, and everyone dies. Ugh.
i had about another 7 or 8 attempts to join a game, and every one fails to join properly.
Buy a couple of chests (junk), then quit and check the timer on my pre-load of Bloodborne... 1 day and 5 hours until live...
Ug, was playing in a nice but quiet PUG, we were rolling along nicely until I notice I closed my eyes as we zoned in and I zoned out, oops, gotta catch up, the group is mowing through the first group before I open my eyes, but I'm not tired, I got this, this has been a good group.
Couple more times I catch myself running into a wall, or auto firing arrows at nothing as everyone else is already hitting the font and moving on.
But I'm not tired, I got this, this is a good group.
Wait, what? I'm back at the menu, damn, I was kicked. How long did I nod off for? Did I make it through the last Area 5 and just never ready up? Did I refuse to move to plant the flag and get kicked?
Damn, I have no idea.
I was "that guy" and it was a good group.
Sorry good group.

While playing Perilous I encountered Druffy the Inquisition slayer hiding behind a wall waiting to ambush the team, looking back i'm now convinced it was watching some of the 'solo' vid's on here, no doubt waiting for it's 'Charging Bull' cool-down to end before striking the unsuspecting team. I managed to notify the team before it caused any real damage - Nice try Druffy!
