AndyKurosaki Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I find it too difficult to solo the campaign missions,especially the flamethrower Cleaner boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigkopman Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I'm around Level 12/13 if you need help as I'm still early on in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallofbooty Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 We've occasionally wandered into (or tried to sprint through) zones of higher ranked enemies and it's ended in tears a couple of times. When we hit some level 27s the other night and survived it was only after a gruelling punishing rolling fire fight. Sense of achievement tho. Generally we'll choose whether to take a risk otherwise we'll come back to those areas when we're better matched. While I'm loving the whole game world I'm also very impressed with the story elements. The echo's, the audio, etc. There're some real sad tragic stories, told well, in small snippets that give the bigger world a context and purpose.

illdog Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I've been enjoying this a little more, I still stand by my original opinion that i've already seen all the game has to offer but that doesnt detract from the fact that the game is good. I've got more to grips with the structure of it all and i've been going around doing the side missions and any encounters along the way so as to level up (to either 13 or 14, cant remember). I like to be at least the minimum recommended level for an area before tackling it. In a couple of safe houses i'd unlocked early on I hadn't reported to the officer, therefore I hadnt unlocked some of the area specific missions. I've gone back and done that now and my map is just littered with shit to do. OCD players will have a fucking field day (Hendo, I'm looking at you). I've got a nice little machine gun and carbine combo going on at the moment, it's dropping fools quicker and it always feels good when you have the upper hand as opposed to struggling a little, I appreciate the pendulum will swing again but one will adapt as one does. I always do the main story missions in Matchmaking, i've not actually tackled one solo so I cant say which way is easier but... when you have human players who use cover and want to flank the enemy (instead of just rushing in gung-ho and dieing instantly) I can't see it being easier on your own. Anyways, shit is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigkopman Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I find it quite challenging on solo runs where I've selected Hard Mode but I've managed most so far but occasionally I'll get fucked over as they flank from all sides. The Cleaners can seriously do one! The flamethrowers are nasty as fuck and the Elites are bastards! Doing Co-op is great too but you need to work together tactically as it can be easy to get overwhelmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DisturbedSwan Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 Finished off the last few main story missions earlier tonight and hit Level 30 with the help of Small and Sly. Really enjoyed it yet again, once you've done a few of the main missions you do notice they all follow a certain gameplay template but they are all varied enough in the enemies, design and locales to keep things feeling fresh, the attention to detail is fantastic as well. Now to start the 'end-game' side of the game, collecting Phoenix Credits, doing Loot-Farming runs, daily missions, messing about in the Dark Zone and repeating certain missions on higher difficulties. Apparently I need to fully upgrade all the wings of my base first, then get my stats up to 65k DPS or so too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spatular Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Yeah I hit 30 today too, did some daily missions, they were easier than doing them first time as I was under leveled back then. its a bit odd though like the light levels in destiny its not really the Max level and you keep getting better gear. So I'm still underpowered for some of the end game stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smallofbooty Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 First group trip into the dark zone last night. Very good. Very edgy. Totally different dynamic to the other areas. Some good loot. Also a pack of stalking, camping rogue agents. Probably six working together and ambushing other parties. Big lesson - if you're a group, stay together, don't get strung out, communicate and use your signature skills, turrets, mines etc. in a coordinated way.

smallofbooty Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 You'd be welcome to join us Nag, even for an hour. The dark zone felt rewarding but punishing all at once and we were discussing how we'd benefit from a 4th squad mate. However not sure how it'd be for you with the level differential. Most of the big packs of NPCs were all level 30s and many of the other agents were too. You might have to shelter behind Sly's shield! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 Yeah, you're welcome to join us, Nag, although all the enemies will be Level 30 so it would be quite tough for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
