* Taming The Dragon Event - Thoughts?

btw. don’t even try to defend. some players might tell you that it’s a good tactic, but it’s not.

got to wave 16 but didnt have enough time left.
got 67 copper and 39 plastic.

I remember last year, I was playing this event and it went on for over a half hour and I was fed up after 20 minutes. Another player told me his session lasted almost 1 full hour. Later for that. I’m happy if it’s over by wave 5 or 6.

if you have the right weapons and not idiot team mates who run all over the map luring enemies away then it doesnt last to long. i got to like… wave 16 and it didnt feel all that long.
you got people in here acting like a bunch of brainless idiots purposefully luring enemies away with their helis (as enemies heavily target helis and will follow them everywhere across the map) and wasting everyones time. ive come across several people getting pissed off or irritated that others keep luring enemies away or driving to the other side of the map on purpose and so quit the match early to que up with others. i have done the same thing, leaving matches, several times as people do this as early as wave 2 or 3 for no other reason then to be ass hats.

no. It’s the correct way. Defending is worse than actively pushing.
This isn’t the first PvE wave-based event on this map but people still get it wrong

but they arent defending. these people are actively going out of their way to make it take as long as possible. we lost far to many matches chasing helis around to kill the remaining enemies.

also i got a catalina and i combined that with a jackie and 2 reapers and… man this build is just mean… :rofl:

oh lol i didn’t read this part about helis. Sorry then

its fine lol.
though dude i am loving this catalina reaper i have. catalina with a jackie and 2 reapers… it is so damn mean especially when i get that full bonus out of it lol.
it negates that 15% damage reduction at the start and you get that full 70% bonus damage as time goes on and you deal damage. its insane but its really good. im wondering what other weapon i can chuck on this thing to give it ridiculous bonus damage.

I can’t tell if they changed up anything from the last time this came around, I just have 0 recollection of it. Don’t really like it now, probably did not like it back then, not my cup of tea/10

whole team staying here and waiting for them helps,no need to chase any bots.

its a literall no win szenario …

Vector vs. Starfall

no powersteering

NPC that literally one shot you

and a ridiculously short time for each stage

how the fuck is one suppose to “Win” this Kobayashi -Maru test ??

nope, its practically the exact same.
you can have a max of 3 minutes.
you start at 1 minute 30 seconds.
dying can take away up to 30 seconds from your remaining timer. (depends how much time you got left)
each wave gives an additional 30 seconds upon completion.
killing enemies pauses / gives you 1 additional second to the timer.
higher waves have more enemies and more health on the enemies.
boss is stupidly strong and can 1 shot you.
rewards per wave are awful.
enemies constantly run away from you to wasting time.
it doesnt give you enough time to keep going during later waves, so waves 11+.

you get the idea.
the only reward i say is worth it is the crate on the final day. free expansion item. its not that hard to get either.

got to wave 16 doing that… sadly theres far to many people who ruin the damn thing by using helis…

The only requirement is to pass wave 1.

25 SECONDS to Respawn ??
i get the teamwork to revive…but not in this brawl…hello ?

I’m just glad I’m done with it.

wanted to do a little math but it seems the waves vary with how many rewards you get. i just did this
67 divided by 16 = 4.18
39 divided by 16 = 2.43

so i divided the reward by the number of waves i did and got that result. the highest wave i got to was 16 so i divided my rewards on wave 16 by that and those were the averages per wave but i think it goes from a tiny amount to a larger amount.

yeah… they are relying on your team mates to revive you to get back into the fight quicker. the penalty for dying though is all over the place. sometimes it only takes away like 4 - 10 seconds but if your timer is near 2 or 3 minutes it takes off 10 - 30 seconds for dying. i think this wouldnt be bad if you got that time back if one of your team mates revives you.
this brawl was horribly made imo. theres no balance in here. also good luck getting past wave 11 because every team i been on couldnt do it. i made it to wave 16 where theres another boss but just forget it. you will NOT have enough time left to kill it. hell it takes like 5 - 10 seconds for enemies to spawn in and like 10 or 15 seconds for them to haul their asses over to you and on top of that enemies give no time if you kill them. it only gives maybe half a second to a second and it makes no difference.
3 minutes as a max on the timer is bullcrap to.
funny thing is even porcs barely have an effect on enemies. enemies run right through them like they are the weakest damn things in the world. (i was on a team with someone using porcs and they did next to nothing in the later waves. early on they were ok but later the enemies were barely damaged at all from them.)
