How many People have beaten the War Master Since the patch? Show of Hands?
I'm betting very few have. IMO everytime we find a way to beat him the devs just make him more unbeatable.
Any suggestions on a new way to beat him?

Some PC-NA players was pretty successful

which patch ?
with 1.5 . . none
after the lock timer added , 2 of five (one loss was me soloing)
since encryption . . none . . Seemed to me, there was, no reason for me to go there for a encrypted weapon I cannot upgrade, but once (since a high percentage of my rewards are green, which is why I feel that way)
too many players going there for the Keys and Arkforge farming, with less interest of winning for a weapon drop.
Wouldn't bug me either way of going into a Major Arkbreak .. if I know if I'm there to beat the WM, or if it's just farming for Keys and AF
Yes mate, this is afterpatch video - look at the date. This is 16 aug '14
They are killed him in 5 mins
I haven't seen a WM Go down since they added the lock timer. I also haven't seen more than 10 people in a WM since the timer as well.
I play on PS3 NA; I'll put out a call for people to join with few responses, we'll call down the Arkbreak, clear the outside, and I arrive by myself on the inside (if at all). People are still getting DC'd or experiencing hard freezes trying to get in. Not only is it too difficult to down the WM, It's still too iffy if you will even make it inside to make the rewards worth the effort.
LOL, i can upload a 2 YO vid today and its date will be todaysQuote:

Sorry to break this too you but if you look at the date on the mini-map it says 6/27/2014.Quote:

I have no doubt that the PC folks are more organized and have beaten the monkey since the latest patch but on Xbox NA it's a different story.
Played it twice last night both times broke the armor but wasn't able to put a dent in it's Health.
Iv done 3 war masters this week and each died with adv 2min left on clock. There's ways of getting every1 in the same wm. If nubs listen but they choose not to so they get put in their own instance while all us vets are together in the same one that dies. This is on Xbox eu where the servers are more dead than trion's ticket service(32days no reply to 6 tickets), Really don't understand why all the other platforms struggle to kill him.
Oops, my bad :)Quote:

And even after they said they will not add new TLs after 10, we all know there is some different TL10: at simple TL10 monsters not so dangerous, but at higher level of TL10 monsters becomes tough as Monolith and can oneshot even 5k players! ><
Too bad this sh*t happens at the WM event everytime :(
I've been in one win since "The Great Patch" - since then, haven't even come close.
I've been about 10 times. The best run was when we did about 50% of health damage. I was with 7 clanmates all 5500+ ego. Possible? Yes...with 20 people on voice chat, all 5500+ ego , everyone with the right weapon / predefined purpose.
Unlikely though to gather that many veterans in one place since there aren't to many left. Those who still are cannot care less about WM.
bagged and tagged
Just killed another wm with 3.5mins to spare. Not many of us there either but all were using wolfies bar one.
XboxNA is a Ghost Town in general, with the WM being no exception.
Yesterday was the first time that I entered on (xboxNA) since the "Timer Patch". As expected it was a total failure, with the armor breaking in the last two minutes or so. This coupled with lack of players (10 or so), and the lack of appropriate gear by those in the room, it was to be expected.
What else can be said about content that I/We paid for that isn't even worth playing!?
PC NA - Cronus Clan runs last two nights.
5/5 last night, and 4/4 for tonight (10/8/2014)

This is a recruitment week for us... come kill the monkey!

I came close last week, armor was gone in a minute, but then it bugged out and everyone on the screen poofed except a clanmate, so nobody knew what was going on, though we could all see damage and spikes going up.
I have never seen It's down. Going to lose my hope to slain it one day :)
Honestly the guy seems impossible to beat. i figure they just added war machine for the visual pleasure and fun. He is fun to fight, just seem pointless to why they made him so strong, so i guess its just for fun.
I haven't read about this change in any of the patch notes but at 1:25 in this video of a fairly recent Warmaster kill, one of the players in voice chat mentions that in a recent patch they changed the mechanics of the queuing for Warmaster instance so that players would no longer be queued into an instance where the Warmaster had already been released.Quote:

I been in 1 WM kill since timers. This as a chance happening with a late night group that was doing nothing but WM raids. I've been in at least 100 WM instances since the timer patch. Oh and to add insult I got 3 green on the WM victory instance. Later that night on a fail I got 2 purples. Not sure RNG is really giving me incentive to kill the Damn Monkey.
UPDATE: We were able to beat the Warmaster with a really organized group of 20. I don't think the drops were any better than if we failed the WM though. That being said other than the thrill of killing the WM, and the pursuit, I'm not sure there is any other reason to do it. The way were were able to get everyone together though was by staying on the top level and not killing anything until we had everyone together via grouping/kicking to get everyone in the same instance. We really need Raid functionality in order to do this properly, because doing it this way is stupid.
yup, i've joined a few of the organized ad-hoc drops already and beaten the warmaster
if you are lucky you get Oranges at the end, else you'll get the usual purple / blues
Anyone on PS3 beat him since the changes? I doubt anyone has since 99% of people on ps3 get disconnected when attempting to enter the instance...
There is not enough organization and veterans remaining on PS3 to kill the warmaster ever again :(Quote:

It still can be done, if the whole group wants it bad enough.
i have come close twice but always seem to get the people that do like reading the chat. both close calls were where we didn't break the locks and wait for the timer to run out. i also seem to get the groups where someone tells everyone shoot the back then some else goes no the right arm which puzzles me a bit cause you can hit the right arm more often then the back buit then getting the back with the perk that adds damage makes sense.
My clan cronus does a ton of warmasters and we actually recently a week ago downed him and killed him with around 4 minutes left on his timer thing, we broke his shield in literally around 30 seconds. He isn't unbeatable, you just need very good people, the right amount, and really that's it. Just the right amount of people who can follow the directions and decent weapons. The lag is probably what makes it seem impossible

The only terrible part recently is this crazed server lag and the complete absence of Trion support recently or the clear numbers would be higher.
I don't know of anyone who beat him on ps3 either you lag out, get in someone elses instance thats ending or you get stuck in a room full of noobs with bmg's and people who wait to be revived, to many ignorant players on ps3 for him to be beaten now.
its to op i wasted 4 spikes trying to get mutant arkfall to do defiant few just to get renegades went inside it couldnt kill it and it ran no conselation prize :( to hard to solo unless they put in walls to hide behind when the going gets tough
We killed him twice yesterday and once last weekend. This is on PC - EU.
We were about about 30 clanmates and 5-10 randoms. The hardest part is the preparation. Once you have all the people im the same fresh instance (and not spread accross 3 WM), then is not hard to take him town. As long as people shoot in the same spot and use the right weapons (as in NOT crimefighter/rockets/ bmg ...etc), you won't have problems in beating him.
We were about half vets (5500 + ego) and half medium/low egos. At the last run we took him down with 3 min left on the timer. If it makes you feel any better, the rewards suck. You get the same amount of keys / arkforge for beating him as you get for loosing. As for the weapons, we got blues and purples. One of us got an OJ, but he vendored it. So outside the pursuit and the "pride" of beating WM , it doesn't really worth the hussle.
Edit: And yes, some people do get DC'ed / lagged out. Happened to me as well once right before we killed him.
Stop mis-using the word "Vet(s)" , many players have 5700+ but we are NOT Vets and can never be one.Quote:
