Auric what it?

[Bobochen]

Just randomly noticed Auric after many hours as Im also just quick play demnation, waht does that do?

[Bomoo]

More modifiers at once, I guess. Is HISTG not enough for you? Now you can have waves of mutants and waves of hounds and waves of bursters and whatever else on top of that too.

Some people think that's fun.

[These stairs go up!]

Adds more modifiers on top of the other modifiers for extra challenge.

Auric board offers only Heresy and Damnation missions, often with High Intensity and or Shock Troops. It also has a separate borderline unfair at times Maelstrom.

It's basically the high difficulty endgame mode people have wanted for a long time. Maelstrom missions can get quite challenging and that is very fun for people who feel regular high intensity difficulty 5 missions are too easy for them.

Auric missions are also available only for level 30 characters, which is another feature people have been asking for a long time, to separate the endgame from beginner players.

Honestly, still feels like regular damnation to me...

[Cosmophase]

Auric is level 30's only and the Maelstrom can have up to 3 modifiers - I have seen increased specialists, nurgles blessing, and monstrosities all at once. To clarify, there is absolutely no difference between auric damnation and regular damnation, auric is only accessible to level 30s.

Define Auric in the 40k setting for those who don't know what the word means. Including myself :)

"The planet Auric is the first planet in the Amarah system. During the early stage of the Battle of Amarah, due to massive flux sprang into being near the Amarah star, the plasma and radiation were violently ejected into space in a series of massive solar flares. The fury of the injured star was so tremendous that it reached the planet Auric and flash-incinerated everything on its day-side in an instant."

"Auric just means "golden", so it's probably just a way of saying the most trusted / high level Inquisitorial agents"

Basically Auric is referring elite level operatives that far surpass anyone else in their class category.

it should really be noted that it has difficulties like "no light" and "no ammo" these are pretty much impossible if you aren't expecting it.

The sun was shining in my room on "no light" and it was almost impossible to see the enemies on the screen

I mostly do quick play so i dont realize what im getting myself into...

[ぐー]

it's for sweaty people

it's like maelstrom but always, and then there's auric maelstrom, which is like maelstrom maelstrom if you catch my drift.

It has a guaranteed minimum of high-intensity modifier, and usually others on top. Plus it has Maelstrom, which has special modifiers of its own. They're the same missions as usual, just harder. The rewards match the challenge too of course.

They made Auric & Maelstrom missions for the people interested in a challenging endgame, as opposed to several weekends in a row with nothing but low-intensity and low-light garbage. :>

The only way to get into the Maelstrom with No Ammo is you have to actually click it. So "Not expecting it" is the weakest of excuses xD
