Even routine kicks their booties with this setup.

[scynn]

I actually thought it was kinda fun. Made soloing Perilous much more "keep on your toes" (literally, because you got ice mined every time you stood still lol...) but I think as others have said it's a little much if you're undergeared/playing a mediocre kit. It would've been nice had it been an option, cause otherwise it limits the amount of kits I'd wanna take into perilous, knowing wave 3 I get to enjoy 8 Despair Demons at a time.

[Nymrodel]

Good old Druffalo day.

[Laforgus]

I got tired of complaining about weekend challenges, you will come to it as well.

[DrakeHasNoFlow]

I enjoyed this weeks challenge, I still despise despair demons and would rather have a herd of druffaloes charging me all at once carrying me back to spawn.....

[Yumi]

Perilous dragon hunting has been fun lol

[GreatBlueHeron]

What are you talking about!?! I have given my opinion and said I dislike this challenge, I then eluded to the fact that many new players will find this challenge frustrating and difficult. Am I not allowed to give my opinion now? 
 
Your coming across as a complete fanboy just because someone has criticised something in this game, guess what, I dont like this challenge, many of my friends dont like this challenge and as someone else has said many of the new players dont like it either. 
 
Like many on here I would not consider DAMP to be dependent on any form of skill, it's all about gear and promotions, if a new player doesn't have the right gear or promotions then they will likely struggle. You have made a number of ridiculous assumptions that has made you look like an idiot - I wasnt complaining about the challenge being difficult for myself, I said it wasn't enjoyable - Saying I should play a pvp game because I dont like this week's challenge is moronic. 
 
I simply asked for an option so that we can play normal Perilous/Threatening etc rather than being forced to play this weeks challenge, that's the key thing here - with other challenges a player could simply ignore them if they didnt want to do them, this isnt the case.

Wow, someone's upset. You're more than welcome to give your opinion. So am I. Talking about assumptions...in your first response, you mentioned that it wasn't hard for you. I never said it was hard for you. And you missed the part where I clarified that the second paragraph was a comment to the general forum, NOT you in particular. And I'm certainly not a fan"boy".

Like it or not, it does take skill to play this game. It's not entirely promotions/equipment dependent. You do have to employ strategy. Anyone who says otherwise is being incredibly disingenuous.

And you ignored what I said about the perilous challenge. How was that fair to new players? It wasn't, but the "I'm so elite this game takes no skill you're a scrub if you can't solo perilous" brigade didn't give a crap. Why? Because it wasn't an annoyance to them.

[Shadohz]

If it is then I'm sure as hell not playing it, spawning more ranged units that pretty much stunlock you into the fade isn't my idea of fun.

You must've really hated Platinum then.

[Eldredd]

I love the concept behind the challenge but I think the execution is lacking.  The most clear discrepancy is between wave 4 and 5 on threatening.  

 

I was running PuGs last night and a good group would clear through Wave 4 without a single person going down.  Then wave 5 hits and the entire team drops because of cheesy 800 archers and 250 rage demons spawning on the parties head.  I expect that sort of madness when I'm playing a perilous ready character but not when I'm playing my alchy on threatening.  I know that is pretty much just repeating the same thing everybody else is complaining about.

 

I find it funny that my first post on the DAMP forums a few days ago was commenting that it would be interesting if we had a difficulty where we had to fight two factions at the same time.  I guess I can take the blame for this event.

Only played ME3MP recently, don't have any experience with it really. I would't have liked it for sure if it was constant stunlocking

Platinum, Geth.  Wave 2.

4 Geth primes, + 4 Geth Prime Drones, +4 whatever = Pinball.  

[TKDancer]

Annoyance =\= challenge. Chasing a despair demon while his 5 brothers knock me on the ground from around the corner isn't fun, it isn't challenging, its just annoying. If they fixed then LoS issues on despair demons so you can actually see and attack them before they can put you on your back it would be different, but as it is its not fun. I'm not new to the game, I don't have 100s or 1000s of promotions like some people and I don't have all the BiS gear but I have enough that I never have issues on routine or threatening even if I end up solo but this challenge has me wanting to put the game away till Monday.

YES, I was doing some dragon hunts on perilous and gave up after the 4th one(didn't even get a single purple dragon weapon =/ ) because of the sheer amount of DESPAIR DEMONS keeping me stunlocked in the ground, it wasn't hard, it was annoying, it was impossible to predict it all, they need to add a long cooldown on the use of that knockdown attack and a delay between the attack being used and it triggering (like the mine spell we have?) like you, I'm not new, I have all characters, I have some purple gear(I even have the purple heal on kill ring), I have some promotions, but this is too annoying, I can't imagine new players handling this

[apocalypse_owl]

You must've really hated Platinum then.

 

Platinum was boss spam, not stunlock spam. Besides, most people preferred gold to platinum for that very reason.

[Shadohz]

Platinum/Geth/Rio or Platinum/Collector/London. You can set it to Gold and get a taste of how bad it can get but it's still not the same as a Plat match. One mistake and it'll feel like your g-ma repeatedly slapping you in the back of the head.

As far as this challenge goes, I'd say it was more annoying than challenging or difficult to newer players. I play Threatening alot and most the new players I see are very wet behind the ears. Alot of them are jumping tiers for the gold or glory but still making Routine level mistakes. I got vote kicked from a Threatening match for trying to use my Lvl1 and this was after I carried the 3 scrubs for 3 games. Only noobs do stuff like that. TBH with you I'm kinda glad they only show up on weekends and holidays. It makes the game more bearable.

[Shiratori]

I'll be with the minority that liked this weekend's challenge. Yes, I see where most people are coming from who view it as more annoying than challenging. For myself, once I saw what I was dealing with, it was fun trying out different builds and strategies for my characters to overcome the enemies. I felt like I had to work hard at it to succeed and it was all the more satisfying in the end when the challenge was completed.

[TheSpookyAce]

This new mode discourages warriors and high threat characters gameplay, which is what I have been doing during the weekend, thus I dislike it greatly. But I can see it being less frustrating for ranged characters or especially characters with stealth and threat reduction.

[Drasanil]

I liked this challenge, solo a few routine maps get commendation chest with crappy loot and call it a day. Better than last week where it was complete 10 games with classes I either have yet to unlock or don't find particularly interesting. 

[Thadrial]

I can see what people mean on despair demons here. If I can dodge their ice mine with evade then shouldn't warriors be able to do it with combat roll? I mean i've managed it before but it is so much harder to do. Combat roll speed and distance buff plz

Your first post was a sly dig, you then started talking about challenge and pvp games which again was you eluding to the fact that I should play something else if I dont like a weekly challenge which is pathetic. You were responding directly to me, you werent talking in general, dont try to play innocent.

It doesnt take skill, did you not ses a recent solo done by Penguin? What skill did you see?

Again I have been highly critical of many of the weekly challenges but key thing being that you werent forced to play the challenge like you are this week. Did you voice your concerns about the Perilous weekly challenge?

*sigh*

Again, the second paragraph is a love letter to the self professed elites of this forum.

Why would you play something you don't like? Are you slogging through the challenge because.........why? Is your weekend ruined? Is someone coercing you to play damp against your wishes? If so, that's unfortunate.

I don't understand the complaining here. Bioware could hand each player 20 bucks 'merican and the forum would rage "Bullfeces! We deserve 50 bucks 'merican!!1111!1!111!!"

I can't remember if I posted about the perilous challenge on the forums. If I did, it was a small complaint. I didn't get extremely upset. I definitely didn't start a thread about it. I just notice a double standard. If the elites are cool with ____________, then it's all gravy. And Penguin? Don't know him, but have watched a couple of vids. He's good and he knows it, that's why he makes the dig that people who can't do what he does are terrible. How so? By saying this game requires no skill. Anyone who can't do what he does therefore sucks. I obviously don't agree. By you agreeing with Penguin, you're telling me that I and everyone else who can't do what he does sucks. And I can't do what he does. I'm an average player.

[Yumi]

For new players, this must be pretty freaking brutal lol. New players should get on their Mics as much as possible. When they talk, I'm more than happy to help them out and carry them through some of this hard stuff and explain tactics, for not having and for having gear.

For me, this challenge is fun as hell. Not being able to simply autopilot perilous clears is freaking epic. I've had 3- THREE wipes, when the perilous dragon had between 2% and 10% health.

I could have gotten super pissed off, but that's not me. I'm finally having a thrill again at this game. So what my party has endgame gear. Except for parties with all 60+ stats, this is a damn challenge.

And it freakin feels great.

PS: please no more of those wipes though, I do have a heart condition you know BioWare.

So why mention a general statement as a direct reply to me then? don't try to play innocent now.

 

I wasn't trying to do the challenges do you not understand that the challenges are forced on us this weekend do you realise its not an option? Do I have to keep repeating this part for you to understand? Again your jumping to some bizarre conclusions, when did I say my weekend was ruined? is someone forcing you to respond with these moronic replies against your will? if so that's unfortunate. 

 

I wanted to play a couple of games with friends, I wanted to help a friend who has no dragon weapons and has just got back into the game, I wanted to have fun. Instead we finished a number of Perilous and Threatening games which we found incredibly annoying and my friend got nothing. You keep mentioning elitists bizarrely which  has absolutley nothing to do with this thread. If you were so unhappy with that particular challenge you keep going on about then the ownness is on you to make it known, that's the whole point of this forum at the end of the day - for people to give their opinion on the game and how to improve it. 

 

I gave my opinion along with how it could be improved yet you chose to ignore this, go off on a tangent and make yourself look like a complete tool in the process. Btw I dont think you watched the video talking about skill, he literally mentioned that the game is dependent on promotions and gear, show me in the video where he actually belittled anyone who cant do what he can? I dont like the guy but he along with many others were speaking the truth when they say there is next to no skill in this game. 

[F_e_princess]

Despair demons discourage los camping.  People who are having a hard time on fereldan 3 just zerg the gong room.  Despair demons will be there but little else.  Pretty much zerg it on all factions except maybe templer depending on group.

I watched the video. I can't do what he does. Therefore, what? Since this game requires no skill, and I have high lvl equipment, I should have a shot. I don't. I just tried soloing a lvl 6 avvar with hok ring, stamina amulet, sulevin, 200hp belt, sup ring of attack and I went down in one minute on zone 5. On routine. Lol! So what does that say about my playing ability? You know, since this game requires NO SKILLZ.

I frequently make replies to a specific poster, then start a new paragraph when either making a new point or talking in generalities. I can see how you thought I was talking directly to you, so I explained. Obviously repeating my clarification of that paragraph is futile. You'll believe whatever you want to believe. And you'll keep projecting as well. The only person having trouble with comprehension is you.

Also, do you deny posting this: "Again I have been highly critical of many of the weekly challenges but key thing being that you werent forced to play the challenge like you are this week." Who's forcing anyone to play this challenge? I voluntarily fired up my ps3 and started the game, selected mp, and away I played, all freely my choice. I could have opted to play another game or engage in a different activity. I do not have to play damp. I do not have to play challenges. You have options, just not for this weekend for damp.

[F_e_princess]

As far as the 0 skill thing goes i did my 1st virtuoso play through today and i was bad.  I have best gear for every slot and 126 promotions.  Apparently i have -1 skill.
