Rushdown is harder than most raids sections
Rushdown is harder this year than it was last year....need to go back to the old guardian games

1 ReplyYeah, if you don’t know 1 or more of the encounters, it can be tough

Anybody having difficulty in Rushdown is probably doing the quickplay matchmade version, which like almost all of the rest of Portal activities are often more difficult than custom versions. Adding extra boons (depending on the day) can often make it an absolute breeze. Balance the change of difficulty with other modifiers, but they are barely felt when you have good boons on. Just grab a couple people from FTF or off your friends list (or other D2 groups), and give it a go. Arc surge has been on all event, so add things like Full Throttle, Grenadier, Fury, Heavyweight, etc, and you can just go in and stomp it and get more points than you would in the matchmade version. This is also why it is a bit more difficult to find good teammates in the matchmade variant, because those who understand Portal, know that matchmade activities are not the way to play.

For some reason I am finding the encounters quite laggy. I am constantly going from 100% health to 5% health and barely clinging to life instantaneously via stuff that doesn't even show up on my screen and then having to phoenix dive or scramble for cover. I'm not used to seeing this sort of lag in PvE, but it has been a problem in some endgame content since EoF (at least it has been for me on PlayStation.) Another example would be master lost sectors in the Pale Heart. I've done loads of them flawless on other planets, but for some reason this one in the Pale Heart is impossible. I have tried it with builds that should have been up to the task, but I wind up going through 8 or 10 lives where I can't seem to damage combatants and die almost instantaneously. I think something got screwed up with the switch to EoF and never got fixed because almost no one is playing that content.

Don’t know what build you are using but it’s really easy.
-
no it's not with the right loadout
-
It did feel like a GM sometimes. I wasn't having fun so I just went to the lower difficulty tbh.
-
You are literally using two primary weapons on EVERY character. What types of builds are you running? Just join a team with "meta" load outs. It's much better that way. But your choice of weapons (DPS) seems to be playing a huge factor on your runs.
-
Coming from someone who has done all raids on normal (and some on master), there is nothing harder in rushdown than raids. Your perspective is totally skewed considering you've only ran crota & vog as d2 raids. If you think rushdown is harder than any of these encounters, then it might be a you/gear/setup problem & not a game problem.

1 Reply[quote]Rushdown is harder this year than it was last year....need to go back to the old guardian games[/quote] So I have been play this game since the alpha on D1.....guardians games use to be a lot of fun and now its is lime going into some of the harder raids.....getting the title is next to impossible....I'm sure not as many people on here are getting the title renewed this year.....not sure why u made this so hard for.....its not fun to play anymore.....rushdown is garbage.....and supremacy is even crazy as well....u shouldnt have to make a certain build to be able to win......it should be all skill.....I'm sure you will start losing more players as many have left already.....a friend in my clan stopped playing because u are making everything too complicated like raids.....I have better things to do than spend money on a game with people making things too difficult to play.....😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Last year we had defibrillating blast on the artifact which made it quite easy for titans and warlocks

You have to lean very hard into those insane meta builds to get anywhere. Weapons don't even feel like they're doing anything.

It's hard, yes, but very doable You gotta up your game man, those are rookie numbers, put on your mean face 😄
