Death Warrant Forums

When I left MM due to net probs in august, the Luci wave was made up of:

1)Cows
2) Blobs
and 3) The Devil itself.

Now I come back after X-Mas and these poison sliths appear and own me. 3-5 ppl per luci die of sliths (not me) and it takes away the point of having big, uber-powerful monsters with 1SKs. There are a few problems with having these monsters for Wave sixteen:

1) For medics, when they get hit, the poison can kill, so they have to make a self-damage weapon (fav = MP5) and heal themselves till the poison wears off. Yeah, you'll say get used to it, AMs and WMs can't heal, but wait.

2) For other classes, while in lowbie lvls, there is no way to stop sliths from owning but to kill them, thus stopping them helping kill lucis.

3) Many ppl hide until lucis spawn, which kinda kills off the risk concept of going out and PWNING the cows and blobs then running like there's a fire up their bums (excuse the pun!)

So out of this comes:
Sliths+Lowbies=Phlegm In the face deaths
Luci+Sliths+Medics=Heaving to heal off the poison
Luci+AM/WM=having to kill sliths=less link fire on luci

Generally the sliths are partly responsible for the majority of timeouts on Wave 16. People get killed, people kill sliths, people get distracted and get charred. I do complain a lot about monsters but come on, at least I gave the poor seekers a break! I don't know when the change was made, but I, for one, don't like it.

Please give your opinion on this topic/problem!

heh... no pls mr.devil! just toast me!

Seekers on wave 16 :cheers: I'm all for it!!!!!!

I demand pizza tripods :cyclopsani:

Can I combine the perfect option with annoying and distracting? Wave 16 shouldn't really be a shooting gallery.

I would have thought seekers would go with Luci well because atm it's kinda easy and the Sliths are just annoying they don't really make it harder. The win/loss ratio is kinda one sided to win, well that's what I see when I'm playing. If your linking up stay out of the Sliths reach, as for tanking.. they just knock you about a bit but don't really hurt you and without a difficult/annoying monster there would be no challenge and no one would die, tank/spank >.>

16 has become one of the easiest waves. Seekers, now that would make it fun =)

Bandito :king:

You seem to be one that has made a fatal assumption. 1 that you deserver to make it to luci, 2 that luci should be killed easily, and 3 that your in the majority and others will quickly run to say make it even easier to win every map.

Maybe we should do as a few others suggested and go the opposite route and make it harder?

I don't mind them, they tend to get in the way when trying to shoot Luci, but they are a better idea than the cows and Metroid things. I am still a relatively low level (105 I think...) and if I make it all the way to the 16th wave without dying at least once it would be a miracle... :cheers: If I get wasted by one of the Sliths in wave 16, oh well- it'll suck, but I'll just try harder the next map. Besides, the Sliths do give me something to do while waiting for Luci to spawn.
