Mytilus Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) These cut scenes to ambush are become quiet tiresome now. You can tell when you're going to get ambushed, you know theres going to be multiple targets, you know they're going to be spread so you cant aoe and you know you're going to get ganked and you know when you res you're going to gank them. I don't even try anymore i just go make tea come back res and then gank them. Can you try and think up something a little more imaginative now, i mean 50% of cut scenes end in an ambush it seems.

terminova Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Oddly enough....I've never accepted defeat as an option and beat such encounters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesDiamond Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I have never died to an ambush. The only time i've died at all is pvp or in a heroic/ops. But I'm a heal spec sorc too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mytilus Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 maybe im playing too much cos i dont find them in the least bit entertaining or challenging, when an ambush is imminent i just sigh and walk away from my keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mytilus Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Maybe trying to rush and your level is too low for the area? I play a rotation over 8 toons so i get all playtime with rested bonus im usually 2-3 levels up for the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something is definitely wrong with you if this easy mode game is too hard for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormrazor Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Unfortunately the OP is getting the predictable response to the issue. People blaming him for being a poor player when the issue is predictable and overdone encounter setups. It's a more glaring issue for some classes (Like Scoundrels) who rely heavily on stealth and tactics to win. The point is that many of the boss fights go straight from cutscene into combat. Even hitting the emergency disappearing act does not always work as a lot of times they will keep attacking you even though you are stealthed.

Your answer was like it came from an 8 year old. I've emboldened the part in case you don't understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I find it quite anoying to go from a cutsceen right to melee combat. But, then again, if I was just talking to the guy, isn't that right where I'd be?

Baelish Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 It's particularly annoying when you see the "enemy" from across some large area, and you just want to stealth up to them, and lay the smack down on 'em. Grandiose soliloques got old in about the 2nd ever episode of Flash Gordon (the '30s series). You know you're going to kill 'em. Let us make snarky remarks over their cooling corpse.

Axvil Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 As it was pointed out, some classes are better suited to survive the same ambush than others. Operatives (and Scoundrels?) rely heavily on stealth, CC and free backstab spike damage, none of which they can do in an "ambush" scenario. Meanwhile, a Guardian type of character would probably laugh right through the encounter.. I agree with the OP, it's kinda lame when a cutscene or object activation triggers a fight.

Moofanchu Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) Rules for surviving an ambush: Sick you pet on the strong NPC. Kill any medics/heals/support NPC's first Kill strong npc ... profit!! The ONLY ambush I failed was the one where the npc drains you of force power. Starting a fight with 0 force as a sorc is hopeless. Edited March 13, 2012 by Moofanchu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mytilus Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Thing is i have done so many ambushes and yes some toons are better suited but ive just given up trying now, i find it much easier to just die then go back a royaly gank them. I have never died a second time so the ambush setting definately puts you at a disadvantage and it one im finding hard to get enthused about.

When almost every boss fight is like this, it gets old very fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
