Ladies and gents, prepare yourself

Well sh*t it’s gonna be hard to find an ambra and even harder to kill one

Actually I think it has always been that way…when I was doing Mellka’s “Punching the Darkness” I was feeling really jaded when I saw that I still had like 30 to go smh. Queued up for a pub story and noticed the notification indicating how many more I had to go but I hadn’t killed anything I know this because I had just died staring at the Varelsi responsible. At first I just chalked it up to lag or a bug. But when I finished the match feeling confident I got about 10 out of the way, there it was completed. The only thing that makes sense is that it was counting my assist. I just started using WF gonna test further to confirm.

JoeKGBX said that the groups is looking into it. Maybe they’ll change it or modify it.

…I’ve got at least 30 friends on Steam right now that are really mad about this and one of them is looking into each of us just being a sacrificial goat, I’ll be Ambra, you kill me, you be Ambra, etc. Seems silly but it will calm everyone down.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big fan but we only play public Story mode, which I believe is our right.

a lore challenge that has you kill an enemy type, like varelsi or Jennerit are extremely easy. Assists for things like that count for lore in PvE.

But I know for a fact when you have to kill specific battleborn, it has to be pvp and assists do NOT count.

Anyone Else Find That Alani shares one of the same lore’s with Galilea - “KILL AMBRA 25 TIMES” - The lore is doable but in my opinion is retarted and uncalled for. As far as i know Ambra is the only hero targeted this way which mean hardly anyone now will want to play her making this lore for either Alani or Galilea one hell of a dumb ass grind fest.

I play as Ambra and its frustrating to now have 2 characters that will now only go after you to the point of kamikaze attacks.

I see a lot more Ambras in capture I’ve been going all out on em and I got 20 of the 25 kills

Oscar Mike is also targeted by Whiskey Foxtrot’s lore challenges but as far as I know Ambra is the only one to be targeted twice and agree it’s stupid.

In my opinion the should be no lore challenges to kill certain characters (or even play with certain characters) because it’s not a challenge you have any control over, it’s just pure luck if they are picked.

…The hate is spreading too, was on a public advanced game earlier and had one Ambra, the rest of us Alani.
Back and forth the words went, and it of course had nothing to do with PvE.

Naw man everyone wants to play Ambra. Especially when they keep hitting her with that nerf bat life. But on a lighter note lets buff Rath because we all know he doesn’t do enough dmg with his super lol. Hashtag nerf Rath buff Ambra!!!

I think the entire idea of having the lore challenges assigning against a particular character is stupid… At least with the other lore challenges skill and planning can go into most of the harder ones, but this one is literally by chance. First you have to get lucky enough to get an ambra in your match… Let alone be able to get to her and kill her (which she is ready for all the time now).

I play Ambra when in premades where we each wanna work on Alani… then we do Alani and Ambra combo and I gotta say… it sucks when your Ambra isn’t leveled to where she is a good healer :3 Lost every round where I am Ambra xD So your welcome to those few who face us on PC.

:o Sorry but, What do you mean by premades?

Groups of 3-5 people all knowing what they will take in… or sometimes not and we argue over what they should take lol.

xD Ohhhh… Idk why I didn’t piece that together… I roll into PvP with a squad of 2-4 other players all the time.

i think it is a little hars having too characters have kill ambra lore challenges, but maybe it would be easier if they had all the characters out, maybe one of those would replace ambra, maybe they could tweak it once the season pass is fully out? doubt they would tho

Dear @Jythri , after a fully focused and dedicated week I max ranked Alani to 15 last night, and while having thoroughly enjoyed every moment along the way - Alani is a BLAST! and so is at last having unlocked Eye Of The Ultra-Hurricane so that I now can taunt everybody that hasn’t yet :dukegoof: - I must agree with the other posters here.

Perhaps not for the same reasons, such as Ambra being a target x 2 or the number of times it has to occur (btw 25 imo suggests not difficulty but savagery), but because it simply makes me feel … uncomfortable.

In PVP, killing others is the name of the game and sometimes somebody will awaken my wrath so that I make it my mission to kill that PERSON as many times as possible during a match (y’all know what I mean …) but directing us into, again and again and again, killing a fellow CHAR is unpleasant.

Please, reconsider that part of the (any) lore challenge.

I dunno, I only recently unlocked Ambra and I like how she plays and dueling Alanis and Galileas is fun and regularly killing Raths that wander into the explosion radius of my ult aimed at the would-be Ambra killers. Gear specced for shield boosts make Ambra a viable tank, it gives me a challenge, and since all of her Lore is tied to using all of her skills aggressively… Come at me, sis.
If I can level while giving others a chance to grind Lore, so be it.

Congrats on unlock. However, in this case, fun for you is not fun for me.
