Lemuria Crisis -- Does anyone do this now?

edited August 2012 in Missions and Content
So, does anyone do the new Lemurian crisis? I've been trying since the patch, and I sit around in the queue for my entire play session without ever launching. The highest player count in the queue I've seen is 2, but usually I'm lurking there by myself.

Lemuria? Anyone?... Bueller?... Bueller?

    Why doing a crisis that was already crappy and bugged before now as a even crappier more bugged Alert ?

    Oh yeah .. its forced 5 man now .. that makes it of course better, so maybe all the people who always wanted
    more group content now play it all day long, at least somebody at Cryptic has to believe something like that :rolleyes:

    Even as a two man I'd never see the other player and I was happy to solo it.
    Then it broke a bit...
    Now as a 5 man and with the amount of players desperate to play in Lemuria, especially the melee players empty queues are the only logical response.
    I like Lemuria, I kinda like the Lemuria Crisis but taking a 5 man team just to be able to start this???
    Not even the promise of guaranteed Questionite would get me to run it again.

    I've had two goes and been thwarted by the bug on both.
    I would like to play it again and do the whole thing but of course I have a prob, if I don't have any company the queue will not pop and if I do then it dratstically reduces my chances of being able to complete the thing.
    Head-desking now commences!
    I have come to like the crisis, it has/had some interesting stuff and a bit of grandeur to it. Can't tell now and I think I will miss the cutscene when you finally patched the holes in the Aegir.

    Why would I. It's bugged. It doesn't function. Its as playable as Canada's Rain of Frogs.

    Where were you man when I kept trying to get people to test the thing?! :) well really :(.

    But in all serious, it currently is borked due to the Submarine only allowing one person in and locking everyone else out. And no auto-team feature makes it so every hero is out for themselves.

    In combination, it makes for really bad play especially after having to wait to get at least 4-5 people to even start it.

    On the bright side, the tedious sub repair aspect is gone now. :/

    That cutscene could still be used if instead of removing the Repair mission, they just had a general timer (like 2 minutes) and had those repair drones just repairing the sub on its own without having to be escorted and not needing to go back for supplies. And all we had to do was deal with a gauntlet of Bleak Ones for the duration of the timer.

    It would still be simple and streamlined, yet force everyone to meet in front of the Aegir.

    The problem with the Lemuria Crisis is that it involves me voluntarily going to Lemuria.

    I'm not very fond of Lemuria, sorry. I'm never visiting this map outside of UNITY missions.

    Also, I'd rather play through crisises in my own pace, enjoying stories and npc talks. Grouping almost always means rushing through content. For me changing crisises into forced team content is simply wasting it. Not gonna play it.

    This single word is the summation of your troubles.

    I hate that zone about as much as the Shadow Shard in CoH.

    Well, that would explain why my level 34 energy projector sat in a queue for 45 minutes to no avail.

    What was so wrong with the way they did MI Crisis, which allowed me to get 5 freshly minted level 30s through it recently (4 solo, 1 grouped), that they said, 'Hey, let's do Lemuria completely different!'

    Obviously, there must be scores of new level 34s, where the first thing they do is take that quest from the Until Agent, head to MI, then head to the sub. Yeah, that must be it.

    Dissapointing.

    You where lucky. It works once (1 time) after instance reset. Lets say first time after server reset.

    Well got my shot at getting into the sub, I did hesitate for all of phew 3 secs before going in.
    Anyhow I now know that this bit hasn't been changed at all really. It's still fighting through purple stuff and killing everything in range in order to open the dratted door.
    No real threat detected on the purple stuff but it may have been on normal.
    For crying out loud put it back to normal crisis mode and allow people to solo it, at least fix the only one can enter bug. I feel a bit bad for my team mates who mostly didn't know about this.

    Well, now I know not to bother waiting for the queue. Bummer. Here's hoping a fix is on the way... (not that I'm holding my breath...) It would be great to see more content instead of less.

    What's sad is that Lemuria has been a featured content for 2 weeks now, and all the devs did to it was change the picture with the last patch. How could they not have addressed the one man enter bug by now?

    The same how that sees all kinds of buggy and broken crap in that zone alone not being fixed since the place was rolled out. Not to mention all the other stuff in other zones that hasn't been fixed.

    I've done it a few times, but got tired of the lock out. Did they fix that yet?

    I tried playing this today, it took almost an hour to get enough people to join, half never showed up, one person was dropped, and that left me and one other person. I got through the first half, killing all the fish, destroying the mines and the subs, but then the damn thing just quit when it came to the repair the sub part. The mission objectives disappeared and I was unable to do anything else on the map.

    I gave up on the Lemuria crisis first time round, and have never attempted to complete it again, it was infuriating..

    However, I love Lemuria proper! I think it looks amazing! I really like whizzing about in the water..
