Ten minutes? That's a bit excessive. I've NEVER seen an Arkbreak need that long to fill.
And isn't the obvious result of something like this to end up with Arkbreaks taking longer to get going every time. How many of those people who put down a battery will end up booted instead of getting into the instance, thereby removing a necessary person for unlocking the Warmaster for however many minutes such a fix would give?
i would rather wait 10mins per arkfall, than waste all day doing fails because people start them when only 5 people are in the room, id say at least 5mins or mabey the locks just can't be broke until a min number of people are in the room.
I can see your argument, and you are right. Something needs to be done, A time lock on the locks? maybe 2-3min, 5 or 10 no, pretty sure entry can not be given from outside Major arkbreaks after entry points have been there a few minutes. Though we can be added to an already inprogress one on a different shard/server/whatsit for some reason, gotta love arriving with only 30seconds left.
My PoV would be to have WM and the rewards for it scale according to the number of players involved. That way if i/anyone enter a low population server and do a WM then they don't have to wait as you mention for what could be many minutes and it will actually give them something better than AFKing themselves or lvling up weapons.
Regardless of what Trion chooses to do, something needs to be done. I doubt much will be though. Most gameplay problems would be reduced if chat worked after all....
My 2 cents, just give the locks a MASSIVE hp boost so one guy with a volge rifle can ruin it for everyone.
perhaps make it that the locks wont break until there are at least 15 players in the WM room, from what i gather 15 is the minimum it takes to beat him (as long as you are organised)
Unfortunately there are those who don't understand english and start attacking the locks straight away which results in unpleasant language being used in zone chat what I don't see is why not have an entry point to the warmaster chamber only open when a minimum of 15 players are present like the entry point to the coop map boss maybe the best choice
Also it wouldn't hurt if people were organised and not just shoot at it's head when people attack it's right arm
Or perhaps you can add friends to your lists/clans and start trying to get organized? Trion might not make it easy to do, but we find ways to do it all day long on Xbox NA. Run a couple of groups to an ArkBreak and set a specific time to enter. Seems to work well for us. Post up in game chat certain strategies for beating the monkey. If all else fails, you're getting some keycodes and Scrip from the deal, so your efforts are always rewarded.
All you need to do is shoot all 4 locks at once to unlock boss, so if 1 or 2 players shoot nothing happens.
This is not true. One person could go around and destroy each lock with 8 charged shots from a slipshot......Quote:
