I actually like this idea.

 

Especially since I don't remember the last time I have played with a uniformly cooperating group for the sake of actually playing a match well; rather than farming or generally "getting it over with".

 

Sadly, I once upon a time decided to buy an Xbone for some reason.

Actually, that was my Inquisitor, but I'm flattered no less.

He shall return once I stopped enjoying my at this point feral Mad Max!

Yeah, same reason I'm considering...seeing as my main account has nothing left to play for at all. 

 

Would be nice to get it done and possibly get this months victory chest, though...

I think if you're looking at it from the perspective of "have to" then you're not the type who would be interested in this. Part of the fun is having the bad gear and being short on mats and having to live on the edge a bit.

 

Yeah, I would rather there just be an option to toggle on/off promotions.  That would truer to the name "NoPromotionLords".  A more accurate name for people starting alts would be "NoGearOrPromotionLords".  I wouldn't have an issue if ability damage wasn't tied to base weapon damage, and having low end gear be orders of magnitude worse than good gear.  And it is a "have to" when it comes to getting better gear, because it isn't much fun when it takes half a minute to kill one Venatori Zealot.

 

 

Also puts more emphasis on teamwork and smart play rather than relying on the best gear/armor/lots of HoK/high promotions.

 

I'm all for teamwork.  It's already been established that we are talking about no promotions; we are talking about the gear grind.  That being said, I think it would still take plenty of teamwork to clear consistently and effectively if the whole team had decent gear and no promotions.

 

This also kind of sounds like the "Gold vs Platinum" debate of ME3 multiplayer -- I find "10 Venatori Gladiators and 10 Venatori Spellbinders" to be *less* interesting than a more mixed group. Ditto things like 5 Despair Demons at once -- among other things seems to "cheapen" the "elite" status on top of being massively annoying. In ME3 most people preferred Gold over Platinum because Platinum wound up throwing a lot more high HP "boss" type enemies at the players -- limited the available playstyles, made some kits significantly worse, and put a much greater emphasis on raw DPS.

 

I wouldn't call it "more mixed", because enemy composition goes from multiple types of elite enemies with more interesting attacks that force you to use tactics (Perilous/Nightmare) to two types of generic enemies whos main purposes are "sponge" (footsoldiers, whose defining ability is the jedi block), and "turret" (archers who just sit in one place and shoot you), with one or two strong enemies tossed in for flavor (Routine/Threatening).  I would argue that 90% generic enemies with a few stronger ones tossed in is more mundane than 90% more unique enemies with a few generic ones tossed in.  That's just my personal preference though.

 

My issue with Platinum on ME3 wasn't the amount of health enemies had, it was the sync kills most of them had.  As I said, I prefer a larger percentage of elite enemies, as long as they are not mostly made up of the same exact type; I think it adds plenty of depth over only having a few.  Being able to be killed instantly if you let one get to close or if you have to pass too close by to get past them was my main beef with Platinum.

ProntoNP was born today. He got a Skywatcher's Cleaver out of an in-game chest in his 3rd game ever played.

 

I almost threw up. That weapon is better than anything Proto1089 could have possibly gotten until the Dragonslayer DLC.

I still remember the pain of grinding dragon weapons back then. But now I get them in just about every single store chest.

Salvage your inventory.

It feels almost like a sacrifice.

This is fantastic. I had the same idea yesterday and created Micabo_Light. A friend told me I am not the only one and mentioned this post so figured I would login and highfive/fistbump the mind behind the madness. I did some grinding yesterday and have finished book 5 =). Think i might wait to open the victory chest until after i have the Experienced Mage/Rogue/Warrior challenges completed though.

I have a secondary X1 account for my wife that is shared under a family Xbox Live subscription.  It isn't difficult to set up and I played some weekend events on the account a while back to remember what it was like with no manifest or promotions.  If they deleted their account, then it was definitely user error.

 

Boogie has about 35 accounts.  He could probably give us a tutorial

 

:lol:  :lol:  :lol:

 

It's most definitely user error. I don't see how it's possible tbh, unless they're trying to access the old DAI profile from the secondary Xbox live account.
