Overpowered monsters

from Stardock Forums

Feedback on co-op mode.

  • I don't know if it's by design, however, the monsters in co-op mode get too strong too fast, it would be nice if it took a little longer for the stronger monsters to spawn.  I've tried several multi-player co-op and several by myself with AI, and both times fail no matter how we go about it,

It'd help a ton to know which map you're on. If it's #2, the wave you're on would also help. If it's #3, how many meteors you killed would be good, too.

If you're playing with the AI, then setting the difficulty does make a *huge* difference in the creep power. 

All that said, feedback like this is why we're doing this. Thanks!

Both maps...

  • Suggestion have the creeps get stronger based on the players level...

Map #2 medium difficulty...

  • I average between level 4-6 getting killed although I did once get to level 8.  

Map #3 medium difficulty...

  • I average between 2-3 meteors killed before either one or both players are over welmed.

I agree that they are way too overpowered. At medium difficulty they feel like hard or very hard. They have a lot of HPs and they hit like a truck !

I feel as though I'm the minority here, but in the round of Medium Co-Op with the AI that I played on map #2, I was able to win.

The only real close call I had was wave 3 when I hadn't teched up yet to get a second servo but my turrets were able to hold it together.

I think the big deciding factor here is whether your servos are ranged or melee.

I had a rifle, a twin pistol, and a twin piston servo, and once I got to the later round the piston one was dying extremely quickly or getting stunned over an over before it could do much, but the ranged ones were doing just fine.

My main tactic was to get a couple factories down and then use the drones as meatshields while everything else shot the spawn.
