This could be a community crash and burn weekend on Xbox One.
The levelling is at barely half the rate it needs to be to hit the 100,000...


Xbox1 will fail spectacularly. People are playing neverwinter now. I've landed into empty lobbies many times this week - routine, threatening, perilous - doesn't matter. No one is playing this game. Surely you have experienced the same.

People don't cooperate though.

IMO, state of pugs has greatly improved. Ppl who don't cooperate either wipe or have to solo. While generally, you can blame it on your team mates that "they died and I have to solo" or that "we all died, not sure why, it always happens to me as I just need 20 more promotions and then I can solo", it still does not help. On PC, people do kick in game and very rapidly, I have seen it a few times already. Mostly, the experience is rather positive than negative.

 

Same thing happens in ME3. There is hundreds of bad-pug-complain-need-to-carry threads in ME3-MP forum. I've never encountered the extreme cases because when you don't consider your team mates just inferior decoys and instead try to cooperate with them, they do react in a surprisingly pleasant way. Carrying suddenly stops being soloing and becomes leading at least somewhat organized team to glorious victory. When you consider them inferior decoys, well, that is your problem then.

 

Of course, some ppl never listen and never learn. Although, this is a very tiny fraction and clearly a minority in my limited experience.

To be fair, why should they play? The last DLC was nearly 4 months ago. DAMP hasn't offered anything new in far too long and Bioware won't discuss what they are working on. Besides, do you really need to salvage more low level weapons as a reward? Neverwinter isn't amazing but it's certainly better than the current state of DAMP.

The most enjoyable games I have played on PS4 thus far, as well as what games I am most looking forward to are re-releases. This is the state of gaming today, pretty damn sad.

My playtime is extremely short tonight, so I'll probably only get the "10 levels as..." box this week. My first incomplete challenge... :(

I went to play and there were Arcane Warriors everywhere. What wasn´t there though was Keeper. Even though she´s just perfect for perilous. In all games I had, no one else played her, I was like some kind of relic. :mellow:

The only perilous game I found was so laggy that the DC's attacks hit me before he even jumped up and I couldn't be revived. It's too bad the matchmaking is crap, because I could have played with someone on the other side of the planet with less lag. But according to the matchmaking system this lobby with locals was better..

 

Go home, matchmaking. You're drunk.

Ill only have few hours to finish the op on Sunday, but it seems doable.
Perilous - find decent AW and stick with him for few games.
Gain Levels - promote and quickly gain few levels on any difficulty.

The levels were remarkably quick. Took a lvl 1 Templar into two routines and two threatenings, bam, done. 'Course I'm leveling the Temp up for some Perilous runs, so it works out pretty well.

Well, so far, so good. Stumbled into a group of 3 guys who knew each other doing Perilous and as my only decently level character that's not the Templar that I'm only good at nuking with was my Archer, I used that. Got my first two Perilous completions (ever, not this weekend) under my belt, and a couple of Origin friend invites.

 

Also, did some level on eligible characters earlier and got the level challenge out of the way. Gonna do some more for the community goal.

Pretty much my evening too. Lucked on a decent pug and ran 6 perilous games, succeeded with 4 of them (brings my total ever to 8).

Just one more perilous to do tomorrow and 6 more level ups.

 

I'm estimating Xbox One will do around 55,000 levels over the weekend, so the community challenge does not look likely to me, on this platform.

Finished the 10 levels quickly as I'm leveling up my Elementalist. Then I decided to go for perilous, I was a bit underleveled (13) but ended up in a lobby with 3 AW's between level 10-14, so I thought what the heck. I have good equipment, Barrier and Firewall, I have extracted from Perilous before, might as well try.

It went ok, the AW's stayed in front and did their AW thing and I ran in the back freezing and burning everything that came past them, except zone 3 were I went to Narnia and zone 4 where all of the AW's were downed by red templar shadows. I managed to save two of them and we cleared the zone.

And OF COURSE I went to Narnia in zone 5. I cluldn't get to the banner, so I had to quit. No Perilous extraction, no exp, no nothing. I hope at least the little AW troup made it. Bugs are never as annoying as during weekend events.

I feel your pain. My Origin friend list went herp a derp again, so I had to peri-pug. Got into a decent lobby with my katari, plain sailing until zone 5 Narnia. I left, found another lobby, zone 4 CTD. I found a third lobby, laggy but decent teamwork, zone 5 mega lag and frozen enemies, thought I was smashing VC's face with TTD but I was actually dead.

Gave up and watched Blackadder.

Neither am I, but it doesn't stop me trying and failing repeatedly! I suppose it helps that my favourite classes are among those considered 'easier' to play in perilous. Doesn't stop me from dying. A lot.

I've got good enough gear so threatening is rarely a... threat... (hah), but perilous zone 5 still pwns me on a regular basis. Bring back The Room™!

Not sure how I'm supposed to complete this challenge when I can't find a f*cking game. How the f*ck is this sh*t still happening six months after release?!

People don't care for DAMP I think, for I have an easier time finding groups in ME3MP still.  Not to mention experiences like mine I just had really make me not want to play at all.  I just tried to PuG a Perilous since last weekend I was able to knock three out right away.  Now this week I queued for one and the other three people below level 10, I think making this even exclusive to perilous difficulty was a mistake because people who aren't ready for it are at least in my case diluting the groups.

People did care, but bioware treated those that cared like s***. I think there is just too much ego for bioware to listen to feedback. With the attitude of devs know best and all customers are dumbarses, it is impossible for DAMP to achieve what it could have achieved.

The thing is for me at least the problems I have with DAMP are at the fundamental level and I am not sure if they can be changed and the other systems would still work, such as the three deaths and then the enemies get harder or the arena with an enemy that hits you once and you are problem going to be chained into a sync kill.  One thing I have always liked about ME3MP is that with basically any class you can do a couple of waves solo and then people can then join in later, but that doesn't seem to work as much with DAMP unless you are playing one of a couple characters that can solo.

I got a notification in the main menu saying game servers would be down between 2 am and 5 am EDT... :huh: Shame as that's the time I normally DAMP.
PS4 has reached 21017 levels.

Odd I just finished a match now and its quarter after two Eastern.

 

I am wondering with that notification if they need to fix the spawn rate on perilous for it seems higher then before during the fifth segment.

xbox1 at only 13000.  At this rate it will finish behind xbox360, lol.  It's official, the player base has been obliterated.
