What we did, is I (healer) did not mount any guns, I actually jumped on top of the whatever that thing is in the center of the guns and healed. The other 3 turned around and shot over each others shoulders creating a cross fire. Worked like a charm.Hunaiamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-5934587803247528172012-01-26T16:52:42.030+00:002012-01-26T16:52:42.030+00:00The deeply non-intuitive about the Turrets is the ...The deeply non-intuitive about the Turrets is the fact that (a) we don't actually fire them, we only steer them, and (b) it's FAR easier if we face inwards and shoot past our party members. Facing outwards, as the guns start, it's so easy to get swarmed and feel that you're being whacked from behind without any recourse, by mobs that have slipped into the dead zone in the middle. Turn the guns around, and that dead zone is gone.<br /><br />About the Fences part, it's actually possible to use the closed gates to stop yourself being thrown off. Put your back to a forcefield and just beat the robots down. It's also intended that the robots further in the maze are weaker and can be soloed quite readily by the people sent to open the last gates.<br /><br />Oh, and the keeping the gates open is Channeled, so you have to tell people to stay on that console till the puller brings the next robot back a bit to kill.<br /><br />It's a fun instance in retrospect, but what I dread is having to explain it to people that have never done it before...Ancaglonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17243723852920281755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-77640413880509654762012-01-26T11:34:53.462+00:002012-01-26T11:34:53.462+00:00That's a good point and I have to agree. I cou...That's a good point and I have to agree. I could easily do without the fire or the fast respawns in specific; it wouldn't really take away much but still make the whole thing a lot more manageable.Shintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-17106355787960066592012-01-26T05:00:37.686+00:002012-01-26T05:00:37.686+00:00I actually did this one more or less at level!
Th...I actually did this one more or less at level!<br /><br />The turrets were easy once we realized that we shouldn't click the mouse buttons or do anything other than use the left/right arrow keys. And if you aim between mobs, you can usually hit two.<br /><br />That middle section is horrific, especially when you get two droids, because the droids spread out making the tank more likely to be knocked off.<br /><br />The end section was pretty normal. Honestly, I think that middle section has one too many elements. Eliminate one of the fire, knockbacks, or respawning patrol droids, and it would be pretty solid.Rohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090769681887119989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-20424816411009932862012-01-26T03:56:08.579+00:002012-01-26T03:56:08.579+00:00Haha, don't be scared, it's not that bad. ...Haha, don't be scared, it's not <i>that</i> bad.

Granted I never really pug because I have enough friends to not, but... okay, that's a lie, I've pugged some heroic 4 man quests before, and those were small nightmares even without having to worry about the dreaded vehicle fights. Playing with pugs you learn really fast that the most basic of mechanics are going to slaughter everyone.<br /><br />And oh god, knockbacks...sellyhttp://a-lovely-starwar.comnoreply@blogger.com
