So, I'm bombing around, doing missions I had neglected in my rush to the endgame. I had been waiting to do Project Aegis pt 1 because I had heard that it was bugged earlier, but figured I'd see if it had been fixed. Now, if you're not familiar, Project Aegis involves you traveling down the coastal highway on the far-left side of Sausalito. To complete the mission, you have to "reboot" four turrets lined along the road. The road is full of bandits.
Not too much trouble, I think to myself. So, I dive in, and at first everything is going fine. I'm popping Raider heads like it ain't no thang. I get to the second turret, and as I'm hacking it, two Raider bosses appear (can't remember their name - they wear vulnerable backpacks and are fond of yelling "CATCH IT!!" over and over again). It seemed.. odd.. since they both sort of spawned on top of each other. Not looking to lose any scrip over a fight that's pointless anyway, I reboot the turret quickly and move past them.
I get to the third turret, and as I'm fighting off raiders, a Hellbug event suddenly spawns around me. Suddenly archers and warriors are popping up left and right, I've got raiders shooting rockets overhead. I chalk it up to the mission structure. Whatever. After some difficulty, I manage to reboot the turret and make a dash for the fourth which isn't far away.
This is when things get a little nutso.
I no sooner reach the turret when - and I'm not kidding - AT LEAST FIFTY SKITTERLINGS spawn immediately around me. It's easily the most skitterlings I've seen spawn in one area, even in Arkfalls. They're accompanied by archers and warriors, but no sweat. I start mowing through them when suddenly an event prompt appears at the top of the screen:
"REGICIDE"
I turn just in time to see a MONARCH barreling my way. I dodge out of the way of its roll and start plinking away at it. All the while, I'm still trying to avoid Archer shots and the occasional raider which has randomly spawned.
As I'm fighting the Monach, I hear a deep-throated roar sound up behind me. I turn and see...
A HULKER. YUP. NOW THERE'S A HULKER, TOO.
So now I'm just grenade-spamming. Just rolling like a madman and trying to survive. A couple of other Arkhunters happen by and start helping out. We take down the Monarch together. We're all concentrating on the Hulker when my EGO pipes up: "I'm detecting an incoming Arkfall."
What?
BOOM. Suddenly Arkfall crystals slam down all around us (somehow trapping the Hulker between one of the barriers). Now we're facing SCRAPPERS AS WELL.
We man up and get through it, the Hunter goes down and we save the day, but holy crap. That was insane. I don't know if it was bad timing or a bug, but I feel like I just ran a digital marathon.
tldr; THANKS FOR THE INCREASE IN EVENT ENCOUNTERS.
