Is It Too Easy To Master Characters Now?

I agree.

Some of the lore was just super grindy and had no challenge. If it wasnā€™t that they are tied to the XB1 achievements, I probably wouldnā€™t have done them all.

Despite some of the complaints, I loved the fact that Ernestā€™s lore was so easy - I was working on Alaniā€™s riptide for weeks so this was a nice change PLUS Iā€™m not good at PVP so I hate the PVP ones as I know they will take me forever to get at the detriment of my team.

As for Master the characters, Iā€™m going to say no. Not everyone has hours every day to work on leveling up the characters to Level 15 - if anything its a very time consuming process. Iā€™ve only got 13/28 of them there. Will be doing all of them, but donā€™t foresee that being anytime soon.

I can say at least for me that a good thing that came of this is not having a random playing a character they have no idea about and crippling the team. I think it did what it was supposed to do and encourage players to branch out to other characters and not just play OM all day. I think they were a little over the top bring down ones like Boldur but fair on a few others.

#38

Yeah, the Plasma one is better cuz at first I didnā€™t even use that. Now I feel like Iā€™m better with her because it forced me to try

#39

Not really stealth. They said that they bumped it up, at the same time when they made the surrender exp changes

#40

Oh okay. I think I was taking a break during that time, so I missed it :stuck_out_tongue: thanks.

Yeah, apparently I didnā€™t read everything carefully.

Do you get less if you surrender than if you donā€™t stick it out to the end?

Thanks.

Yep. Surrenderers get significantly lower, while winners of surrendered matches get compensated fairly. Since then, I must admit, Iā€™ve noticed less surrenders. And why not? I only try to surrender if itā€™s early on and I can tell itā€™ll be a long battle Iā€™ll slowly lose. Otherwise, lose fast and get exp, or win fast and get more exp or they surrender to give you more exp. Itā€™s a smart mechanism

I whine like a mule when people call for surrender. Finish the game! and work on lore!

I dunno if it got easier. How much fun are you guys having doing, ā€œThe Lifeguards Have Given Upā€?

#45

@Rivaire

ā€œLifeguardsā€ used to take 50. FIFTY. vomits

#46

Now 25.

Still a pain in the ass.

#47

@rivaire

100 percent agree!

#48

I actually did it at 50. It was the most annoying lore I ever done, bar none.

Clearly the guy who made it didnā€™t test it for himself if that is something remotely feasible.

By the way, at one point, I think the requirement was 6 players -unless my eyes were failing me.

6 players at onceā€¦ it makes you want to slit your wristsā€¦

#49

You plus three player characters, two of them Deande + clones.

fifteen minutes. Tops.

#50

IT was never 6 players. It at one point included the Alani running in to her own stream, AND you could do it in the entrance room with your team at the beginning of a match where the cool down time was nearly instant.

With the population nowadays so low on PCā€¦ yeaā€¦ good luck with that one.

And trying to get them to play that specific set of characters? You should just pray for a lightning strike.

Fortunately, I already did it with 50, before the new lore reductions.

I still wanted to kill someone afterwards.

#52

ā€œGetting themā€?

Donā€™t you make friends? Iā€™ve played 204852083208 characters for people to help them get lore. Especially after discovering that cliff jumping works to satisfy lore.

#53

I made 20ish, or more, if Iā€™m not mistaken.

The problem is only 4 of them still play this game and they arenā€™t always on at the same time. The rest arenā€™t planning to come back until the DLC hits.

I did the ones that I care about already, so no need to too concerned about it.

#54

Sorry, I didnā€™t mean to sound condescending.

It just seems so many people try and play this game solo, or expect others to play with them, without putting in the social aspect of arranging a team or squad, or meeting other folks.

I mean, the game tells you not to die alone in the darkā€¦ itā€™s pretty clear that you need to play as a team.
