Trendy, why did you ruin onslaught?

[Commander_Black]

i was all excited for the last month, waiting for onslaught to come back in dd2.

Today, after the update i was so sad to discover that onslaught was not brought back. instead you created some kind of ultra-farming crap and renamed it onslaught.

if i understood the gamemode right, i gotta do about 300 maps in a row without loosing to get any kind of reward..... this is just dumb.

It seems you didnt understand the gamemode right, dunno if this is a troll post or you are really serious...
Each floor is consisted of 3 maps, so to advance from floor 1 to floor 2 you need to complete 3/3 maps, and if you are able to complete CT7, you can jump to floor 55 right away.
Hope it clarifies.

well you understand only 50% to ;)

you din´t need each time 3 maps

1 floor - 1 map
2 floor - 2 maps
3 floor - 3 maps
4 floor - 1 map
5 floor - 2 maps ...

and for the post ... you need only all maps in a floor to win to uplock ... if you play a 2 or 3 map floor and fail to the 2 or 3 map you need to restart from the first map ... but you are still on the same floor !


but sure the new game system is more a endless farming ....

[Commander_Black]

thx to both of you, it seems much less of a waaste than what i first understood.

but i still maintain that they ruined the initial onslaught we had 2 years ago. this was truly endless gamemode.

it is "endless " .... but its "cap" in a 5 wave map

so you din´t get the "i hav to much mana and can´t up something with it "


but you can still get the 100 mio mobs with the onslaught ;)


but you need now more the asc lvl ... .the item "lvl " is still c7 :/

[Commander_Black]

5 wave map isnt endless.... loosing at wave 50 cuz there is too many mobs, that was endless....

We have been running in endless circle of limited maps pool for year. Now we get all the same, but we are told at each circle's end.
Few months worth of development.

hmm but i think onslaught is 100% harder as normal trial maps


its not the buff what the mobs get ... its the "reset" if you fail on the 2 or 3 map


you can play chaos without the prob that you need to start agen in c6 if you can´t win in c7 ...

[Commander_Black]

for me the problem is the buff they get in each lanes.
all the usual builds are now crap. i tried 3 build i used to take in c7 to carry noobs and now even with high level players, none of em works

gona need to come up with new builds to counter the new buffs in each lane, while keeping in mind all the bugs that still havent been corrected. basically its gona be very hard to find a working build.

my dryad used to carry in c7 without a single problem. in onslaught 54 i cant even finish wave 2.....

[Freeborn]

i play onslaught 57 ... and the prob what i hav is that i don´t know the new map ... some times a bomber from somewhere hit the core ... or a mob get over the map and "use" a new lane


thats why i need to restart floor 57 3 times ... and am now on my 4th round


sure some effect combos are bad ( but funny for me ) ... but thats ok ... the only prob what i hav is that i need to restart the full 3 maps if i lose in the last one -.- ... it take time and kill the fun for me

PS: i play it solo ... so i don´t know how much the 20% hp + per player effect the onslaught

Main problem is that devs didnt even bother with wave content. They just mix everything they got by this moment and throw on us.
Blue orcs from c2/5? In. Lava orcs from incursion? In. Assassin boss from c5? In. Orc boss from c2? In. Even rollers uppear sometimes.

Sounds like a very Unbalanced system to me

well its not a big prob if you hav only 1 map ... if you get random a extra enemy buff ... or a mob + buff comby that is to hart to def.


but its a big prob if it is in the last map of 2 or 3 floor maps .... if you see "a ok i can´t win the new map if i get the combi agen " you know somthing rong with the map system

PS: hav you ever see the ice goblin lane with the buff "explow if he die " + can´t stun or slow " ? ... you can´t win it ... its to fast on the wall and if it die on the wall it kill the wall and the next mob will kill the core ....

[Freeborn]

wow ... after floor 60 hav all floors 3 maps .... thats realy not funny -.-

[Freeborn]

floor 62 fin ... and its more a random luck thing as a " you hav the skills or you hav the stats "


its realy hard to win the 3 maps ! ... and its random if you can or not ..... good spawn ... no mobs on lanes that din´t hav the "upgrade" to use the mobs .... ( like the Bastille bug where a Hex mob can kill the core in the spawn place )

[Commander_Black]

the entire onslaught joke is a random luck more than a "you have the skills"
