Trion Worlds, I Challenge You

[Cappraa]

Thank you Thod, I am giving this a try. I have tried every weapon and even respect points to different ego's twice.

i can see you have barely touched this game because you are unaware that there are at least 3 solo instances currently in game, including the encounter OP is having dificulty with.


that means ofc, if it's not plainly obv, that he cannot simply get help from friends to complete the encounter.


while perhaps banging one's head on the encounter for 6 hours straight may not be the best answer for any gamer, it is the norm for the wow clone raider demographic who consider it the peak of mmo gameplay and the only thing an mmo needs to do well. so much so that wildstar is banking on this demographic heavily with their current hype engine, and gw2 pissed of the majority of their fans to cater to without pursuing their original intentions.

You also have to remember that this is a third person shooter first, which means mostly solo, then it has some mmo aspects in it meaning most, not all instances can be done in small groups, the main part of the mmo is the shadow war.

Trion has been saying this from day one but people have been putting on the MMO blinders and only seeing what they want, so they gave up trying to explain it. I was in the Alpha from Jan, so I have seen what they worked on and know what they wanted.

I do agree the some of the missions should have if you want or need at least one other person, but not more then that.

Um 99% sure that's not a auto response, btw.

As for that fight .. Use any detonator .. one shot and it will send the little guys running in. Works flawlessly for me. Also is great for damaging him when the shield drops.

Also if you use cloak it recharges your shields, so as soon as they go down hit cloak and they go back up all the way. Try using the perks that extend your ego and do dmg as well.

if you use pyro grenades on the smelters they burst into flame, no getting behind them necessary. give it a shot it works

[NinthPrejudice]

I waited for the smelters to do the flamethrower thing, when they would remain stationary. Then went behind them and put a few shots into their backs, which would cause them to burst into flames.

Side topic here, though linked to the issue, and I apologize in advance if this sounds callous or insensitive as that isn't my intention, but have you looked into other input devices besides the keyboard? Even something as relatively simple as a g13 or nostromo might make the movement easier for you to manage. I've seen several controllers that will work for PC with large, flat analog sticks that may make things much easier for you, in many games, not just Defiance.

Hey Cappraa,

if you didn't already manage to kick this guy's *** (which I sincerely hope), another advice I heard of:

It doesn't matter how you ignite those little guys. Flamenades, guns with the fire-property (shotguns should work best) and so on should do the trick. There is also a detonator (think he is called "incinerator")which has a description that sounds something like "leaves a patch of fire". This one has a 100% chance to ignite the target on hit. There's also a rocketlauncher like this. Try them out, due to the blast-radius it should be rather easy to hit those little buggers and send them running!

Are you playing EU or US? Also which Egolvl do you have? Maybe I have such a launcher in my inventory, which I'd gladly give to you. (Damn those solo-missions, otherwise I'd make Jackleg Joe kneel before you and apologize for his sins )


Also Trion, shame on you for not helping a woman in need!

[fishboy11]

if you have a friend you know well you could also have him log in for you and complete the mission if you still cant get it, the final mission will also probably give you some trouble.

wish i had some way i could help out.

I'm pretty sure it is Trion has been laying off a ton of ppl and have ignored and neglected their player-base completely in Rift so I don't see why it would be any different here...

I'm really sorry about your situation OP, but Trion has dramatically changed and really doesn't give a crap about you or your issues as evidenced by that lame generic letter they sent you. Quite sad and tragic really when they fk off their handicapped player base...

Perhaps if you were to approach the media outlets with this type of "treatment," I'm sure Trion would start singing a different toon ESPECIALLY since they are connected with Syfy and well, that channel can't really afford any negative press...
