When will this game be playable again?

[ClawingBear]

I keep trying to play and my guy has leveled to around 1100 however the following parts of the game are now unplayable.
Any public event.
Any arkfall that anyone other that someone more than around 500 of your levels goes anywhere near.
Any road.
None of the spawn points other than the main ones are safe from spawn kill.

Now ive limited myself to the arenas with friends.
And I never go on any road so the cars I payed for are redundant.

Now I dont mean to be a cynic.
But explain to me why after I have spent 170 bucks am I starting to feel like I am stuck in a Red Dead Redemption hacker server except its bots killing me that I payed for.

Please DELETE all your Play testers and all your Amins players and make them start fresh so they can see what it is like when you are on the bottom if you want to keep getting money.

If someone with a high ego comes around your area it should raise your ego level to accommodate for the difference. Therefore I believe your guns become a lot more powerful as well. But I know the scaling is still a little messed up so give it a chance to get adjusted. They have already patched it 3 times since dlc 5 launched. If you don't mind me asking...what spawn point do you spawn at and get spawn killed? The only one I could see would be the fork.

I was angry when I posted that last one because I play a lot, and many of my friends dont have the time I do so I got 2 of them together so we could use one of my spikes.
We went to the edge of the map, found the one that was the most trouble to get too.
I spiked it and everything went well the fight was hard but not too hard to do.
Then the ego rating of the right went to 4,750 and all the mobs turned into epic things.
We managed to fight our way inside.
When we got inside every thing in that area was epic and the deaths just rolled.
There was no chance to do anything no loading screen for 2 of us just lag then bright flashes and death.
We continued to spawn and try for a little wile I lost count of the deaths of just them and I exploding and being tossed as soon as we clicked spawn.
The level what ever player was getting the same.
A few other players came in.
All of them got death spam until they left one by one leaving me and my friend there to die over and over in an area with epic monsters that I payed for by buying the pre order download version of the game to be able to use a spike to create.

The death spawn outside that I can name right off hand is the Iron Demon Ranch, that battle can easly stretch far past the spawn point for both deaths and teleports now that the changes have upped the anti.

I still enjoy the game its just lost its friendly appeal.
Like now for example I am at iron demon ranch just inside the fence.
Being shot.

The minor ark impacts and the major impact( warmaster ) are currently pretty much unbeatable . They definatley need work . Don't feel bad , the best players in this game have gotten there *** kicked in those.

What i have noticed with the boosting when a high level player comes near or started the event and has since gone is that my ego rating goes yellow and raises but my weps do next to no damage to them, I get one to two hit killed. So whilst the yellow ego rating is raised in effect the mobs still see you and your damage as the ego level you actualy are.

So in essence, the volge sieges are undoable, the warmaster is unkillable, and any event that has been started or had a high level player within them at some point are not able tobe completed by low level eg below ego lvl 2000 players. Added to this is the wonderful effect of other players vanishing (kenn farm) due to the servers not being able to handle the load, so even low level players who cannot put out any damage cannot heal either.

Yea if I for example being level 1100 spike a fall with a level 500 and a level 1600 friend the fight is hard as hell but we CAN manage to clean the inside.
But if anyone level 2600+ gets anywhere near the thing the mobs glitch into something unplayable for everyone in the area.

anyway its bed time time to dream of numbers poping out of monsters.
ill try harder in the morning.

It does temp buff your shields to that level, but as far as I can tell, not your health. I was told your weapons get a minor buff as well but not sure.

Btw Swat, Iron demon's spawn/fast travel can get you insta-owned as well. I was there for an hour last night and saw a volge emergency appear like 8 times. Most of the weaker levels would either kite the enemies toward the fast travel as they ran for ammo, or into Idr, trying to get away. I ended up just staying and helping clear the volge every time until a friend needed help elsewhere.

Try a lot messed up. I was traveling down the road with someone of similar ego in a group. No one else was in the area when a scrapper road event spawned. None of the major scrappers appeared to be taking damage. The helbots?, the ones that land and fire their machine guns, took multiple shots from sniper rifles in their glowing noggins and took no damage. We got massacred, repeatedly. Shield were blown down and you were killed before you could hit a stim. Your weapons scaled up, my ***! We did a Volge Swarm later. I can't tell you how many times multiple people got one shot killed. It was a field of player corpses. I emptied two entire mags from my saw into an arktrooper from close range and could not kill him. The Viscera just bounce the fire like you were not even there. The turrets were blown flat instantly. Couple that with enemies healing up in the time you change your mag and you are doomed. So yes, it is unplayable and too frustrating to sit and play to just have fun. Maybe I'll check back in a month to see if they fixed anything. The game is currently not worth my time.

For the the only thing that's really unplayable is the Volge arkfalls and Sieges.

Even with a reasonable amount of people, those things just seem impossible hard. Course I usually just play with whoever is around. Maybe people in clans in organized groups have an easier time doing that stuff.
