Played a game against them on Orlesian Chateau. Looks like someone flipped the switch.

Hm...assuming this was unintentional, it'll probably be addressed before I get back from work. A shame.

 

Well, how are they as a faction?

Sorry for the late response.

 

I did my match on Threatening when I fought them, but overall I found them to have the highest amount of troop diversity and types; with many of them sharing abilities associated with the other factions. For instance, the Emissary Alpha (the commander for this faction) combines the Venatori Commanders teleportation and barrier (though this never came back once depleted), the Behemoths Red Lyrium Shards, the Despair Demons Ice Beam (though it does pure physical damage and glows red), and a lunge attack similar to the Fear Demon that does chill damage. There were some new abilities thrown in, so it wasn't all rehashed.

 

As for base enemies, it was around zone 4 that I noticed a mixup in enemy composition. There were enemies that shot machinegun like bolts at you, plenty of stealth units, and enemies that could manipulate the earth to knock me off my feet. With there being base versions and alpha versions of many different enemies, I'm guessing I saw around ~10 different types of enemies. I didn't see any Orge's during my playthrough though.

Gave us darkspawn so we quit complaining about the varric chests?

Maybe they've been there all along, just very very low encounter rate. Would be epic troll by bioware, stories of random darkspawn encounters appear online, no one believes them.

I wasn't all that surprised to be honest. We likely already downloaded the content necessary for them in the last patch, so all they needed to do was flip a switch. No I'm just wondering if this flip was on accident or not. As far as chances of fighting them, they'll likely make it 25% across the board for all faction.

Awesome!  Now, if only we had the option to choose which enemy faction to fight.  BW pls.

Hey, Biggy, can you check your maps and see if there's anything new there?

Hey don't feel bad. I just started so I got 9 hours to go roughly before I can play.

Also had a game with them on the chateau, perilous.  Caught me totally off guard, half way though the 1st spawn I was like.....wait....what are those hunched over things?

 

The 1st two waves we kicked their asses and I thought, bah, push overs!  But the later waves were no joke.  As stated some new abilities I have not seen before.  No ogres though....whine.

 

The end boss has some nasty red plasma looking attack that just fried to death two of our team in seconds.

Just checked. There's nothing new, but killing those Darkspawn did count towards the challenge.

Bioware won't fall for that one,they know the complaints wil never end.The chest gets fixed,then something else will rustle some jimmies,and the cycle repeats itself over again.
