Empty DLC - Where Are the Enemies? Where is the Challenge??

[jdgonzo82]

So, has anyone else noticed that the first area of the new DLC was pretty much an empty area?? Did you notice that the enemies were re-used from previous worlds?? Did it bother you that all you have to do is run around an empty map smashing tables and boxes for scrap?? Did you notice the frame rate issues in the Ward as well as in the new snowy world??? Exactly the same issues the Swamp DLC had. Did you notice that you spent a lot of time just running around an empty Ward Prime?? And how about the new snowy world once again containing the same enemy AI we've seen in previous worlds?? Did you find yourself, once again, running around wondering "Where's the action??" Anyone else have a feeling they've been slightly mugged by the DLC's lack of content?? I'm just shocked...I have never been so let down by a DLC for a game i like...it's just so damn empty!! Remanant is about shooting and the challenge and so far all I've experienced is a walking simulator with a tonne of boring text to read and re-used enemies and enemy AI!!! Unreal!

The first part of the DLC is all about lore and the story.

And if you reached the second part of the DLC, have your fill of brainless hack and slashing there.

On normal difficulty, I notice a lack of enemies, on apoc, they are quite abundant and I also have had no FPS issues in those areas with shadows on medium.

Highly depends on difficulty you playing. On apocalypse there, are pretty many enemies, and in the dungeons... It's like they are filled with enemies and elites. You can even run out of ammo while making one shots for all simple adds. In the way to Jackal boss, I ended up killing 7 yeti elites, 2 wizards, 6 canon guys. As for ordinary rats/bats/bomber rats = around 100+. All of this in one location.

I have a crappy computer for today's standards and none of the DLC areas ran worse than any other in the main game. Corsus was the main offender earlier but since it has been nicely optimized. Also put shadows on medium or lower.

Ward Prime is empty because the enemies there are in the ghost realm bits. The area is all about running through the ghost realm, and avoid the enemies there to get to the root to shoot. I liked the new approach to the game that came with it. I can't even agree on the reskin thingy, there are plenty new enemies on reisum, like the shield guys, the instakill grab yetis, and the mages with the stormy thing around them.. And the Bosses, except for the addfight with fire, are all good and unique enough.

I have not experienced any framerate issues or problems, neither in ward prime nor in reisum, nor in the whole swamps dlc, so i can't discuss this.
And the enemy AI is the same AI for the whole freaking game, so why does it bother you now, when it didn't bother you before, its a dlc, not an addon...and if it did bother you before, why did you even buy the dlc?

When you feel a lack of challenge up the difficulty, up the difficulty on which you play.

The first run through on normal was peace of cake to me, because my char has 420 points in talents and an endgame build, so i upped the difficulty to hard and it was better for the challenge. Next to try is Apocalypse difficulty.

The dlc is a bit buggy, a lot of empty areas but the mines are filled with the small rats and the icy clif or iceberg are filled with elites and lots of enemies.
The challenge is to finish the dlc on nightmare if you can get passed ward 13 :p
Obryk seems to be the hardest boss of the dlc
I am upset that they teased the giant and the sentinel as bosses but they have no purpose in the game

No, it doesn't bother me at all, why should?

for me also on apocalypse mode the general world is too empty. corsus for example is a bit better. the upper world has a good mob density. i wish that the other worlds especialy earth, yasha and reisum had more mobs inside. right now its feels like walking through an empty world with no difficulty. i wana say again: many of the dungeon maps are fine - i only talk about the upper world.
