Trion, I see a whole helluva lotta posts regarding that Volge shoul be nerfed....
DO NOT LISTEN!!!!!! Please do not make them easier, finally we have a challenging enemy again!!! Anyone who cries NERF the first day we encounter these devastating creatures can die over an over until they realize that runnin and gunnin is NOT a brilliant idea and can learn to adapt ad create a new strategy that works, I died numerous times as well but once I learned movements and realized hey I should cover a bit more often, victories are amassing!!!!! I love the Volge and I can't wait to see them in arkfalls!!!!
Kudos again! Love this game!!!

I agree. You just have to figure out their weak points. It's not like they keep records of your deaths for everyone to see. It's a game. Just enjoy

I also agree..The Volge are the best thing that's been put into this game. The other night myself and a few other clan buddies just done a good 3 hours just farming weapon exp off the guys...Yes they are difficult but that's part of the fun, tactics...crouch behind the trucks and pick your shots. Can't wait to see more of these guys...Arkfalls of them? Yes please.

I agree with this aswell, its alot more fun having a tough enemy than one thats easy. I hope they do make an Arkfall with us having to destory a ship or something while The Volge are invading

Only problem I have with The Volge are the ones right in front of Iron Demon Ranch, they are right next to a spawn point and they can kill people that are AFK which kinda sucks.

DO NOT LISTEN!!!!!!

That's what Trion usually does.

They made my day they introduced the Volge, and making them a hard enemy has only made me breath a sigh of relief. Look out Dark Matter!

Johnny, in our Volge Death March yesterday... the Volge were dying a little too fast. Heck, we even took to just beating their Elite using nothing but Melee attacks and they would still go down very fast. They are also relatively easy to take on solo with the right loadout and play style.

I think they should leave them as they are for solo which is just right, and they should have some dynamic scaling of difficulty based on number of players so that they are not too easy when a horde of 3rd World Tactics descends upon them.

Yeah I agree here and yes they can be difficult. But they can also be avoided if it's impossible for a person to kill them. Go around.

Thing is that often the greatest challenges offer the greatest rewards. I don't mean loot, scrip, or salvage drops, either. The reward is in saying "I did it!"

The Volge just like Nim, require tactics and not just running and gunning, head on shooting. They actually require you to think.


I'll say this again-that is so much like what made Demon's Souls and Dark Souls great. You couldn't just run into mobs and easily wipe them out-you had to look, listen, and learn. The Volge require this and that's not a bad thing.

Also, at a lot of the Emergencies if you show up alone there are helper items. There might be advanced weapons-use them if you have to. At some there are turrets-lure them into the line of sight of the turrets since they will chip away at their health.

Last night we had a Volge Death March of about 60 and it was great, but yep they went down fast.

But they also do have some scaling of difficulty based on the number of attackers. I can defeat them fairly easily alone. When it's two against them, they are more difficult (maybe more HP). There may however be a limit to how high the scaling goes. With 4 people they are fairly easy though some in our group still went down.
