Looking for group (R6:Siege + Others)

Nope. There is plenty to do without the DLC. Though some more variety would be nice.

Brian · Post by **Brian** » Tue May 02, 2017 11:10 am

I picked up the DLC anyway.

I also gifted the Collector's Edition to a friend of mine so I'll see if I can get him to join us on days that somebody can't make it.

Which dlc did you pick up?

Also, I can't play this Thursday.

TheMix · Post by **TheMix** » Tue May 02, 2017 1:06 pm

Finally! Nightmare Engines of War goes down with bots. Whew. Got "lucky" this time; the ogre never showed up. Avoided 2 patrols. Downed 29 specials and 26 stormvermin.

Failed Nightmare Supply and Demand. First time got wiped out by a patrol that turned down the alley I was hiding in.

Second time got hit by the same patrol but managed to actually kill them all; only lost the Waywatcher. But lost when the ogre showed up. The biggest problem with the bots is that they will focus 100% on specials. So while they focused on the ogre, a small horde of rats wiped them out ... 1... 2... 3...

FYI (really for Brian), there is a key contract today for Nightmare Ramparts. Since we do that one anyway, probably worth logging in to grab that contract. I'll probably do it anyway, but it's still a likely one to run on Thursday. And those of us that finish it early won't mind running it again.

That's the secret to it. There is a lot to do, but since the endgame is going back over content, you'll get to a point where you have seen everything multiple times. At that point the extra missions become much, much more appealing just for the variety (and so that all of the missions are available.)

I may try to pick up one of the DLC this month, but we'll see.

I picked up Drachenfels and Karak Azgaraz.

Maybe I can get Doug to install it and play with us on Thursday.
Probably not as he's moving into his new house this week so his already limited availability will be severely curtailed while they setup home.

There are a couple of quests today that give out buffs, one damage, one defense. They're worth grabbing now to run tomorrow.

Blackhawk · Post by **Blackhawk** » Wed May 03, 2017 10:02 pm

Oh, and I splurged and bought the DLC while it was on sale.

Brian · Post by **Brian** » Thu May 04, 2017 5:03 pm

Were we ever this bad?

TheMix · Post by **TheMix** » Thu May 04, 2017 5:28 pm

No. Never. That is painful to watch/listen to.

For one, we were smart enough not to run Hard with white weapons.

For two, at least we usually hit what we aim at. Seriously, the person playing the Waywatcher couldn't seem to hit a damn thing.

TheMix · Post by **TheMix** » Thu May 04, 2017 5:34 pm

The ogre on attempt #4 was pretty funny though.

Edit: Clearly they are L4D players. I wonder if they suck at it also.

Blackhawk · Post by **Blackhawk** » Fri May 05, 2017 9:35 am

Last night was interesting. We got off to a really rocky start, but by the end we were really kicking some ass. It was frustrating, but it was a lot of fun. I will say this - you get a better by doing the hard stuff. Even if it takes four tries!

Sorry I had to jump ship after Horn of Magnus. I had some unexpected company I needed to talk to.

Gasp! You have a life outside of us????
After you left some stranger jumped in. I guess I need to make sure my game is set up to only let in friends.

TheMix · Post by **TheMix** » Fri May 12, 2017 4:17 pm

No gun, Brian. However, there is a helm that doesn't have feathers....

Brian · Post by **Brian** » Fri May 12, 2017 4:58 pm

I might take a look at that. Then Karen can't complain about my feathers blocking her view.

Blackhawk · Post by **Blackhawk** » Fri May 12, 2017 5:06 pm

You'd think all of those fireballs that 'accidentally' got too close would have taken care of that...

TheMix · Post by **TheMix** » Fri May 12, 2017 5:14 pm

heh

Got another few waves of Town Meeting done. Sheesh... the bots really suck at it. I don't think they coded their AI for those maps very well.

Brian · Post by **Brian** » Fri May 12, 2017 9:00 pm

Eight friggin' keys to unlock a helmet that serves no actual purpose and conveys no bonuses?

Eight?

Fine. Not like I'm doing anything with these keys anyway.

Of course, now you know the orange or red Handgun is going to show up.

TheMix · Post by **TheMix** » Fri May 12, 2017 11:13 pm

True. But on the bright side, you are just about ready to make one anyway. So you might not end up losing much time over all.

Clearly the helmets are to give people a reason to keep playing once they have all orange/red weapons and trinkets. They provide a reason to keep doing contracts.

TheMix · Post by **TheMix** » Sat May 13, 2017 1:46 pm

And there is your orange handgun, Brian....

...

...

...

It's for the dwarf, though.

Brian · Post by **Brian** » Sat May 13, 2017 3:35 pm

Of course.

Brian · Post by **Brian** » Sat May 13, 2017 10:06 pm

Orange handgun achieved. Unfortunately, I have no blues left to unlock the bonuses.

However, it did roll with the traits I wanted so I won't have to spend anything to respec it once I unlock all the traits.

One word about running the Chain of Fire map with bots, when it comes time to jump the gap.... let 'em fall. I went back to pick up the dwarf who missed the jump, then after reviving him he missed the jump again and while I was trying to pull him back up the other two bots came back and also missed the jump. So there I am with three bots all hanging off the edge and me trying to pull the dwarf back up when WHAM!! Hook Rat grabs me and game over.

Worse part was I managed to grab both Tomes and ended up running the map twice more since I couldn't get them to grab Tome on my next run and I needed two Tomes to get the key.

Anyway, tomorrow will be all about getting blues for me.

TheMix · Post by **TheMix** » Sun May 14, 2017 12:13 am

Nightmare runs of Ramparts it is.

And congratulations!

Oh... and I've decided that I definitely prefer the crossbow to the handgun. While it may just be circumstantial, I shot a stormvermin on Ramparts, and all the ones around it activated and charged. With the crossbow, I rarely get more than one. And then only a second one. I wish there was better info on their reaction to sound.

Blackhawk · Post by **Blackhawk** » Sun May 14, 2017 12:45 am

I routinely stand on the sniper perch and take them down one at a time with my fireball staff's primary fire, and almost never pull them. It has to be the sound that is setting them off, as they don't flinch for me.

Blackhawk · Post by **Blackhawk** » Sun May 14, 2017 11:54 am

Today is Mother's Day, my kid day, and tomorrow is the last day of school for the kids. It is fairly unlikely I will make it tonight.

Blackhawk · Post by **Blackhawk** » Thu May 18, 2017 1:18 am

And again today - someone has asked for some help that will take me out of state, and I'm not sure if I'll be back in time.

Brian · Post by **Brian** » Thu May 18, 2017 7:03 pm

I'm out as well for tonight.

I wrapped up putting the new hardwood flooring down in the computer room but I still have to clean up and then move all of the furniture back in and that includes my computer desk and PC. I'm already exhausted and by the time I get everything back in and setup I'm sure I'll be completely knackered.

Bad Demographic · Post by **Bad Demographic** » Thu May 18, 2017 7:56 pm

Wimp!
Just kidding, of course. What a huge amount of work - and I'll bet it looks really good.

Brian · Post by **Brian** » Thu May 18, 2017 8:31 pm

It looks....ok. There's a reason I'm not a general contractor.

There are a couple of small gaps where the planks aren't perfectly aligned. Naturally I scraped and gouged the new flooring moving the bookshelves back in so I'm going to have to get some wood putty and touch up paint/stain to try to hide that.

What I really need is the number for a good, reliable arsonist to "take care" of the house for me.

Lol. I just asked my wife if she could think of any way to safely cleanse the entire basement with fire.

Bad Demographic · Post by **Bad Demographic** » Sun May 21, 2017 3:01 pm

Who is on for tonight? Brian's friend Darkwater seems interested in joining us.

Blackhawk · Post by **Blackhawk** » Sun May 21, 2017 4:25 pm

I plan to be, but I can't guarantee it at this point.

My life has gotten... complicated over the past month or so, and there are some things that have been cropping up unexpectedly lately. I will do my best, but if I see 4/4 logged in, so be it.

Bad Demographic · Post by **Bad Demographic** » Sun May 21, 2017 7:19 pm

TheMix and I played Thursday. I'll check in a little after 6 to see what's happening. If you're short I'll join, but it would be nice if Blackhawk and Brian both got to play.

Blackhawk · Post by **Blackhawk** » Sun May 21, 2017 7:53 pm

Ok, I'm logging in. There is a possibility I may have to quit early.

Brian · Post by **Brian** » Sun May 21, 2017 7:54 pm

I'll be there but probably a couple minutes late. Dinner got delayed tonight so im just wrapping that up.

Bad Demographic · Post by **Bad Demographic** » Thu May 25, 2017 7:36 pm

I'll be late. Bob is just starting dinner now.
If there are 4 of you when I show up, no prob.

TheMix · Post by **TheMix** » Sun May 28, 2017 7:59 pm

Sorry for the late notice. I forgot to post that I have dinner plans at the in-laws. Hope you have fun.
