put epic mode on anything but Devil Assault

[MarkusWolfe]

Takes a few minutes to give everyone a tour of the pit before going to the first task.
In the end there's only up-down on two sides. Shouldn't take longer than all the time lost by getting lost.

And speaking of epic, wut happened to epic Tor? (after that time it went on lammania and removed)

Man, I can hardly wait for the day they let out Epic GH. I wonder what the stats will be on Epic Jorgundal's Collar....

I believe just about every quest in the game has been soloed.

Add hirelings.

Add a few people who brought along a friend to get by multiple runes or something.



But IMO this game is designed for a group.

I have no intention of soloing Devil Asasult on Epic. But I'll be the first in line to join an LFM for it.

I do things for the challenge.

I haven't seen an epic six-man quest yet that I thought was really that hard.
And the two epic raids I did went fast and seemed easy for those groups as well.

things hit hard on epic....but not that hard for the most part.

CC is limited on epic......especially in duration. But many good groups have so much DPS that the short duration CC spells should be enough for them.

It will take a lot of healing. Bring plenty of your own pots.

it will take lots of SP. Bring plenty of those pots as well....and hope you dont have to use many if them.

it wil take more than one guy being able to raise dead. (maybe) Be prepared.

it wil take resists.....your own. don't expect the guy who's SP you are planing on using for CC and emergency heals to be the guy fully decking you out with buffs too.

it will take good saves. probably a lot of HP. And good DPS to take things down quickly.

And from what I have seen, there are plenty of players out there that have all of that.

And know how to use it.




The only problem I foresee is finding people brave enough (and willing to spend the resources) to PUG it, and risk letting my odd build join them.

Rofl...bunch of 20's got owned in DA Elite. News for you...not uber.

Feedback is a bit too late too, goes live next week. Ta.

i like the idea of epic tempest spine, let the fire elemental insa agro as soon as the initial run start, and the damage from Epic lava would be cool.

I want epic Invaders!!!

[sweez]

Huh, pugged elite DA with a group that contained a lvl 15 cleric who had approximately 200 hitpoints and maybe 1000 mana points lol.

The secret to Devil Assault is crowd control. Bring a bard next time.



Three words: Epic Stealthy Repossession.

I wouldn't say no to 2 minute 0 kill epic tokens.

I wouldn't mind the Epic Misery's peak if you were the ones distracting the dragon. That would be interesting to say the least.

actually, in misery's peak there is in fact one part where you can shoot at the dragon :P

unfortunately (or fortunately, perhaps) i lack the arcane archer type character, and suspect i would run out of arrows before killing her without such a class (i'm also not sure if the dragon eventually goes chasing celimas and co. which would mean you'd *really* have to push a lot of dps for it to work).

guess you must like epic claw of vulkoor then? :P

[mehlinda]

Does anyone know what they mean by Update 7 will add epic mode to Devil Assault? Cuz it either means epic on the new lvl 6 raid that's going to be added to it, epic on devil assault itself, or both.

I just got together my ultra hardcore all lvl 20 super pro group who breeze through epic quests like a cakewalk. What quest could possibly merit a gather like that? Devil assault on elite. ELITE!!!! lol

First run we got pwned in round 3, 2nd run, 2 of us used rest tokens and we still all died in the final wave and then cheated to remote hit the orthons and casters then forced the boss to spawn early and teleport him through the door to beat it and re-entered for SP after that. If we can't beat elite with a perfect group without cheating like 4 different ways, WHY ARE YOU ADDING EPIC MODE?! That is going to be physically unbeatable and cause more player rants than all other topics in the history of DDO combined.



I told my party they're adding epic when we finally got done with that nightmare and they didn't believe me. They thought it was a joke and really so do I right about now. So what's my suggestion? DON'T ADD EPIC MODE TO THIS AWFUL QUEST!

Add it to Sharn or Threnal, that'd be sweet.

My FvS solo's it..want a screenie ? Yes on elite...

Epic heroes walk in lava btw, yet there's such thing as hotter lava in d&d, and sink down to the plane of fire :P

Epic Devil Assault! First try, 40 minutes, 3 deaths (2 in the first 15 seconds due to lag, 1 to end boss who hits HARD), about 4 majors used across the whole party.

I pulled a Large Scale, Large Stone and a Mysterious Artifact. Some others got boot ingredients, larges, a Shard of Power and an Astral Diamond.

Oh, and I have zero epic items and only a tier 2 greensteel on my barbarian (though both Numot and Sorg are positively dripping with goodies).

CC was key here (as I mentioned it would be earlier). Used disco ball, Symbol of Persuasion (latter waves gain immunity to this via Shavarath environmental effect), Mass Hold, Flesh to Stone and Stunning Fist from what I could see. Sorg's enchantment DC was something like 46, so take the effectiveness of the CC with a grain of salt, and maybe some humble pie.

Oh, and I gathered that the new songs from the Spellsinger played a large part in the low resource consumption, as both Sorg and Numot were joygasming over the songs fairly constantly.
