Greifers in Demogorgon

ellodrithellodrith Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 97 Arc User
So over the last few days, a half dozen or so Demogorgon runs have ended in disaster, a lot of nothing. It seems some people are having fun now by coming into the skirmish and messing it all up for everyone else.

In phase one, they go open every single demon portal as fast as they can.

Usually lose a couple of players at this point.

In phase 2 they aim the demon at the black circles

at this point we lose a large portion of the remaining players.

In phase 3, not even a chance to finish off Demogorgon with the remaining players.

I think this can be corrected quite easily/

In phase 1, limit the portals that can be open to 1 at a time.
(I realize a heavily geared party would be somewhat handicapped by this, but you can easily make gold doing one at a time)

In phase 2, if a player hits the black circle, do not allow them to be the person aiming the demon anymore. and to fix it further, do the same for any player that misses the target 2 times in a row.

Not sure if this would fix it all, but it would go a long ways to making it playable again.

cheers
Ello

    nice idea, but irrelevant. With mod9 nobody will play anymore, leaving any players out of the content entirely.

    Fixed it for you ;)

    Problem is that opening green portals can be a legitimate tatic, maybe not now, but in the future. And as for hitting black portal, the game cannot tell if the player is acting badly or just doesn't know. What I would do is inspect that person and if his gear suggests he should now better, then call him out by name and shame him so other players know.

    may can sound weird but some powers blind my aim. i am leading the boss to yellow portal and from nowhere for example a wizard cast opressive and i see nothing than the daily.

    Furthermore it helps to understand the game and its mechanics. When I enter with my HP rightous DC I can ignore circles in the 2nd phase most of the time and stay in the well, to keep all the buffs/ debuffs on the boss. Same goes for most of the HV CWs and some SWs.

    The same idiots, that claim 'hacks' and cry 'exploit' bc the boss melts (with a good group) in seconds, flame you for ignoring the circles.

    One of the most ignorant moves was a CW from a large PvP guild, running with a friend if mine (same guild), SW with DR-set. 2nd phase the SW and I stood next to each other in the well, I debuffed and he killed him in seconds. The CW insulted me for ignoring the circles, ignoring the fact, that his guild member, using a T2 set, did the same. The somehow funny thing was, that the SW asked me, to group up with him and his guildies, bc the synergy of SW and DC (if played and geared right) grants gold in the 2nd and 3rd phase, no matter what. I kindly declined, stating, that I rather que random, than carry an ignorant player, who feels the need, to insult me, bc he knows squad about PvE.

    Thats the community here. Some ppl insult you, bc they dont like your guild, some ppl insult you, bc you use the old T1/ T2 sets, bc they are 'OP and using them is an exploit' while others see you with a T 2 set and insult you bc 'bro you are an idiot, how can you have 4k IL and 70k HP'.
    Chars: CW, DC, GF, GWF, HR and TR.

    one useful information for guardians : you can block the tentacles at 2nd phase and just get the daze debuff. matters where you are looking -positioning to stay alive. so i move backwards to the sanity to clear the debuff as soon i can.

    Every class can get gold soloing the goristro, it's getting cooperation from the rest of the group so they stay in the entry that's the hard part.
    I wasted five million AD promoting the Foundry.
