Containment protocol bug

[limierr]

Just beeing wondering. I was playing solo one of the mission in a town with ice everywhere.
As i reach the level where i need to deal with 3 waves, something weird happened.
In the "first wave", they were like 3 waves inside as it keep respawning without updating.
Is that intended ?

[Question]

Thats probably a bug.

I would have guess but it also happen on another map ... but this time I have 3 time people respawning on the 3 waves , leaving up to 9 waves technically.
In team or with lower hp ennemy it would have been possible but in solo like this even at level 80 it is not possible.

So far from what i understand (tested the level 40 recommended mission as level 70) :
=> The game mode is split up in three phase (at least until I lose) :
1) Capture 3 objectives guarded by a group of ennemy. Depending the map some ennemys are more tanky than others which will cause some time waste. Especially objectives 2 and 3 which have a special unit.
2) Fight a small boss which won't be necessary difficult but more time wasting as it is tanky.
3) Defense mission split up in 3 waves composed of three respawn of ennemies which each time a special unit.
=> At start you have at disposition 3 tools :
a) Wide bombard : good for small ennemies but the marking is off and tend to hit behind the designated place (so not totally bad but you have to compensate).
b) Turrel : efficient against unit but tend to disapear between phase 2 and 3 when put too close (even in less than 3 min).
c) heavy bombard : one shoot boss. Efficient.
=> Between phase 1/2 and 3 you have the ability to recover the ability to recover some the ability you have one time.
=> You can improve your equipment but only if you win.

I think the normal mode is still possible to solo, as I did it the first time with wild hunt, her freeze can be timed with the bomb drop to make sure it hit the enemy, or make them sit still for a moment while we barrage them with turrets

But well, I did have a quite invested lyfe that somehow got dupes from old 50/50 banner that made her up to m4, not sure how much that affect her overall performance for that area -w-')>

She was the first character I use also when I try this mode but sadly it didn’t work well : her freeze ability is good if you don’t have good crowd control but as ennemy are more s bullet sponge, I switch to character which was doing slightly more damage ( lyfe purple version).

i see, i did see someone used agave and all attack techs to do the whole session, and it seems working well since agave have 10s cooldown burst that also knocks up mobs, seems really effective aside from the bosses

Sadly I don’t own this character.
However I found this solution : as the game mode is not balance at the level announced the easiest solution is to play in coop. The sad part though is that you get less point than in solo but it works just fine.

Yeah, if you can play co op, it's best to do so, sometimes, i play solo because potato really didn't let me in in time and got a timeout

So far random are not so bad. I just one guy who dc in middle of the game and one guy who keep spamming explosive on ally.
Only thing I found annoying is that sometimes, the time the game start on my side, they are already at the first zone taking care of ennemy .

I think it's a device/connection problem, coming from potato user, if you're potato enough, and your team didn't wait, you seems to be timeoutted by the game, I've often got a timeout, but that time i told team that I'm potato, they wait, and i made it in the co op, didn't remember whether it was defense line, hero's, game, or gigalink tho, well, just my speculation -w-')>
