hi, guys. i haven’t played this game in a very long time. really, the only reason was that i haven’t been in the mood for RPGs at all.

so, i pick up the story where i left off, doing instances by myself, because no one i know plays anymore. things are going smoothly for a few hours. i get a bunch of instances done, and was feeling good about the game. then, i get to this instance, “stealing the light”. at the end, there is a “risen spider lord” boss. the amount of damage he puts out between the risen spider hatchlings and the locust swarms (which have ridiculous health btw), is rather silly. it doesn’t help that the NPCs will NEVER try to res you, and it doesn’t help that ALL OF THE ENEMIES will aggro to you until you are dead, regardless of any current targets.

so i get him lower on health after like 5 deaths and maybe 20 minutes of fighting him. then he turns into a spider. now he spawns veteran risen spider hatchlings. each one of these little guys has a time-stacking immobilize. this is the most ridiculous thing i have ever fought against. i dont understand… i need one of the mods or devs or someone who actually has a hand in patching to go into this mission and do it by yourself. (i am an elementalist). i would have commented on another thread, but all i saw was a regular spider boss with veteran hatchlings and the wraith stuff.

as a returning player, i am noticing some serious flaws here. maybe the boss and his minions wouldn’t be so bad if my NPCs could revive me in an intelligent manner, maybe if the enemies wouldn’t immediately aggro to me, or maybe the spiders just shouldnt have immobilize… regardless this is something that is really pushing me away from playing any of this new content beyond what i haven’t finished in the story…

sorry for the rant, but it took me an hour to beat him, and i had to let an NPC somehow get his health low when i wasn’t in the area.

TL;DR: risen spider lord boss is silly. locust + hatchling + veteran hatchling + dumb NPC AI + aggro to the only human style enemies = i feel like never playing again…

mods feel free to move this to a different category, i just realized it’s not necessarily dynamic event, but campaign or story mode.

I think the biggest question is, how does a hatchling that has just been born attain a veteran status so quickly.

Same thing I wondered about champion karka hatchlings during southsun.
