CapnFusterCluck Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Damn. All these people... Complaining. Ancients are meant to be hard to fight. Ancients are much more fun to fight now. One will honestly come around the corner and charge me and I just have the sudden urge to book it. Headshots still 2x damage (y'know the tentacle head thingy of what's supposed to be the head). Sure, thigh does some extra damage, but headshots are always reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7.T. Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Infested Ancients are broken and have been broken since their first appearance in the game. Proof? Set one on fire while they're running at you. They'll run even faster and will reverse moon-walk towards you while flailing in pain of being burned alive. It's even worse if you set a Toxic Ancient on fire. ^This^. Seriously, I have to say... how has this not been fixed yet? lol I guess it could because its so frightening. Like they're possessed or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slappy330 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Waaaah waaah I want a harder game but I want you too take out the things are already hard/fun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alohoe Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) pro ancient tips. 1. never get close to them. 2. always keep moving if you do get close. 3. tap shift/ do a forward roll will help you dodge the "reach out and touch" your energy steal. the moving tip is what i have found to avoid getting zapped about 85% of the time when you get near them.

Taaow Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 As soon as one gets within ten feet of me I start rolling away...this usually saves my energy pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stakhanov Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 An excuse to dumb the game down? I wasn't suggesting anything, I like the game as it is. This was more of a fun question to ask everyone.Now you mention it, I do remember setting them on fire when training the Dera with only hellfire on during my training, I wondered why he could keep up with me as I sprinted in the opposite direction!Also, Is it really only the RIGHT thigh which does weak damage? I noticed that shooting the legs was a weakness, but sometimes my bullets travelled through the target harmlessly. Maybe I didn't realise the right thigh was the sweet spot... I thought both would have been equally damaging! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoomFruit Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 My problem with them (and shield lancers) is that they will still whack you with their extendo-tentacle (or shieldbash) even if you're cloaked and run behind them. How the hell can they still see you to target that attack? They should be called theifs instead of disruptor, I have made it a habit to either keep my back to a wall or have a high place I can reach fast. Stay close to the walls.

NIL0S Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) Most of the tougher enemies have some sort of stun, not just ancients. It's a really irritating mechanic. I find roller trollers the most annoying, they really don't do anything else than stagger you constantly. WF not so subtly walks the line between challenge and artificial difficulty, and often finds itself in the latter camp.DE enemy design mentality: "OK, we need to make this mob stronger guys...", "give it stuns", "put in more stagger", "put a DPS cap", "give it a crapload of armor except for on its foot, that'll teach headshotters better", "make it a bullet sponge", "make it invulnerable to damage for 80% of the time".......At the same time everything up to level 150 is a piece of cake nowadays, at that point enemies tend to oneshot you and you need to have a stunlocking plan of your own. Boring. Edited October 8, 2013 by NIL0S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honeybadger Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 They are the one reason I consider using Knockdown Resist mods. Then I laugh at how much of noob I am, go into solo derelict survival, and promptly get passed around like a peace-pipe among the Ancients. Queue results screen and a reconsideration of Knockdown Resist mods. Its an awful cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcryseria Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Fast movement speed, staggers on every attack, causes knockdown and drains 100% of your energy. Yep, a recipe for annoyance. Makes me wanna rush the game more tbh. Get 2-3 of them together and bam! Stunlock. I really hope DE can somehow get rid of dem stunlocks in this game because it just promotes more rushing.

It's even worse if you set a Toxic Ancient on fire. They don't reverse moonwalk. They just frickin electric slide up to your face and the roflstomp you. Thats why I'm forced to stack 4 fireblasts to keep them at bay lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarlockk Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I hate to get slapped in my face whatever frame i am in high levels. If I am Ash...2 slaps and bye bye But I like the way it is at this stage. Hate toxic most though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naftal Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 If you stand still and don't bother to watch for every direction, you deserve to be a dead ninja. Also, some of these "complaints" seem to be just about lag... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
