The goal has to be to clear zones 1-4 safely without anyone dropping as zone 5 will be tough enough...[/quote]

And just like that we cleared 5 peri matches in a row! Goes to show, if you have a good team this can be done.. Thanks SofaJockey, it was a good row and we were there! :)

Wow, you guys are hard to please.

 

If the challenge is too easy, you whine.

 

If it requires a little effort, you whine.

 

I don't play Perilous reguarly either (I have like three completes total, and two are from yesterday) but I think this challenge is a good idea as to give people incentive to get their feet wet. We just need a gentle push in that direction and I'm sure it'll work out just fine.

 

This is more then just difficulty unless you have an active friends list, to me this is all about wasting my time because you can't find a group.  Here is what is bothering me about the challenge, I tried yesterday to get into a perilous group and it kept matching me with the same group that had a level 4 templar and nobody else would vote to kick them.

Total pleasure, and just to prove you were casting barriers like a boss, here's that last zone 5 against Venatori...

Well, I don't use my origin friendslist to find matches, so we're in the same boat. My completition track so far is 33% (6 matches, 2 extractions).

 

I promoted my Templar and Elementalist though, so playing some threatening to get them back up to a decent level before trying again.

 

The community goal is about levels though, not extractions, so don't worry if you can't get the perilous goal post.

I understand if I could spend the time grinding the missions I would eventually get it, but I don't have the luxury of that kind of time over the weekend.  My issue with this setup is that I am tried of people that don't understand what they need to do to refuse to use potions in the fifth area or someone playing a level 12 arcane warrior keeps running a head and then cursing the group out because they died doesn't make this a challenge aside from justifying while I am still playing.

Get your ten levels then, get one chest and help the community get the victory chest and call it a day? :)

How can you track the number of perilous attempts? I can see how many I've completed for the banner, but it'd be interesting/embarrassing to know my failure rate. :D

I have done so few that each failure is painfully edged into memory.

33% success rate sounds about right for me too, maybe even lower. Hell, I just wiped two threatening games in row.

I can´t even say, it´s really that much better with friends, because the games are going more or less the same for any group I am in...room 1 - 4 cleared mostly without significant troubles, then we wipe during the last room. If you run into pug group that manages to win, stick to them if possible! They will probably try to stick to you as well  :)

The misfortune of DAMP is, that really carrying others like it was possible in ME is practically not an option here. Which really kills me, because I would love to help others to pull through, but as it is, the best I can do atm is trying to hold my own.

3/3 on my perilous runs so far this weekend with my keeper (immortal in two of them two :P)

 

will finsh the other two tonight. leveling might be lagging behind as the community as people try to knock the perilous runs out first, then go back for the easy levels later

been helping out peeps in perilous lobbies by just picking my arcane warrior and pretty much soloing, though when i do get good teammates i appreciate the help as it allows for a smoother game. demons and venatori are pretty much a guaranteed win and red templars can get difficult if i get sloppy. when its me and my brother playing though we can be pretty much any class and still take on any faction on perilous. will continue to help people out on the xbox one. so far ive had people in my lobby stay in for all 5 of their games some have been very grateful. and if you guys read the forums im happy to help!(for anyone in my lobbies this weekend)

That's my thinking as well. People may be spending a lot of time on failed Perilous runs with Levels 20's rather than focusing on the leveling up with specific characters challenge.

Thanks for doing that, dude. I love when folks like to try and help the community out like that when they are able to.

 

Did a lot of my time doing the same in Gold lobbies on ME3MP for folks, then my crew and I pulled a LOT of people through that final weekend challenge that involved Platinum difficulty. Wish I could say the same for this event, but I'm just not quite "Perilous carry" level yet. Can pull my own weight, but if I don't have at least one extreme badass in the room with me, it's usually a fail. If I'm leading the points on Perilous, it's a sign that match is going to die Wave 5, just the way it is. *sigh*

Yeah, that is what I am planning on.  Its just frustrating that the challenge itself isn't the problem like the final ME3MP one where I completed a platinum run against each of the different enemy types, but fighting against the group the game pairs me with.

For me the reason why that final ME3MP run wasn't so bad is it gave people a year to get used to the game and get geared up.  Now the problem with this one is how random the gear is and the chances of having really good gear now is extremely random instead of just working for it.

 

I try and pull my weight on Perilous, but I have had a heck of a time finding good gear myself because I find its even more random then ME3MP.

PS3 has 3 stars this morning....so don't think we will have ans issue finishing. IS xbox with us or on their own? Got my 10 levels and now just doing the community one. No point in doing the other challenge as I just get killed in no time.

Having multiple Barrier mages is always great. I've been running pick-up Perilous with my 20 Ele and more often then not there is either another Ele w/ Barrier or a Keeper and the runs have been fairly smooth. There's usually also an AW as well. Getting Venatori or Demons is also a big help. My last run had a Keeper and a Lego and we managed to carry a low-level Archer through who kept opening rogue doors while we were fighting :wacko:

phew! That was an exciting 4 Perilous matches. 2 Demons, 1 Venatori and an angry RTC. All of 'em successful due to a fade steppin' madman of an AW...who, btw, wasn't me.

Yep, been a good day.

8 successful Perilous runs and the challenge levels required. 

 

Everyone should be on 3 stars around now (but chilled acceptance has kicked in on that...)
