I have spent a good amount of time trying to get 10 Auric’s in a row without cheesing it like most people do. Several times I’ve gotten to 8-9 and it’s reset either due to my own mistakes or teammates (fine, it happens), however, I was just at 9 out of 10 at the end of a run with a good team and we were doing well, there was no chance we were going to lose. I dodged on a stairway and went through the wall, outside of the map and fell to my death somehow, which reset my progress back to 0.
So now, what am I going to do? I’m going to ruin countless people’s matches by disconnecting the second I go down just to get this idiotic penance done with. This is what your bugs and your short-sighted penances encourage. I am beyond irritated that my progress is just wiped through no fault of my own, but purely because of a bug which allowed me to slide through a brick wall. Incredible.
The amount of bugs and issues that are rife in this game is absolutely ridiculous.
Edit: While I’m here it would be nice if selecting a mission on the mission board wouldn’t keep putting me into in-progress missions (that’s what quickplay is for), considering they don’t contribute towards the penance, but will reset progress if you fail (amazing design) and I just leave the second I’m put into one anyway.
So many things in this game seem to exist just to annoy players / encourage bad or no teamplay at all.
Very annoying. Sympathies.
If you just want to polish off the penance, then you can do level 4 aurics? Depends if you get good teamies ofc.
I’m not the best player in the world, and didn’t realise I had the 10 on the trot until I saw your post and thought… have I got that? i.e. you might find you just trip it by playing normally. tbf other than some of the more contrived or class specific ones, I’ve collected almost all the penances by accident.
That’s really annoying and similar to what happened to me. I got blown off a ledge by a barrel on my 10th during a perfect run.
I restarted and eventually completed it. Sucks though.
Pro-tip for this penance and auric maelstrom menace - stick to lights out or ventilation purge conditions as the enemies have less awareness and are much easier to defeat.
Pro-er tip: dogs are an easy mission. Rare that all 4 of you get pinned, esp. if one of you takes the zealot immolation (incendiary) grenade as it creates a safe space that dislodges any dog on damage tick.
Noooooo, way too risky if you’re doing the “without being downed” penances.
Sometimes randoms will just let you get chewed on, and packs of hounds do often pin down and least 2-3 simultaneously so imo that’s a very risky condition for the penance.
Lights out is just a nice gentle stroll in the dark with the occasional enemy standing with their back to you
Hounds come in packs, there’s loads of them, and you have to all deal with them one way or another.
That said. You pays your money, you takes your choice
You might well be right. I just think I prefer an easily manageable doggy threat than do 10 in the dark. Silent crushers
