Getting a bit annoyed with OMD2
*simulcast on MBM*
My sorceress now has all upgrades and vanity items, so any skulls I accumulate will just go into a pile, at least until the next DLC. The only things left to do are a few endless maps and the nightmare Fire and Water levels, which are giving me fits.
As for endless:
I'm getting a tad irritated with the following things:
1. Special asscake enemies like hobgoblin healers and rez shamans. Also stupid additions like goblin sappers. These add nothing to the fun of the game because they destroy any balance. You already have self-healing heavies (ball and chain, mountain trolls, etc. -- the ball and chain also buffs her "entourage"), so adding those healing shamans was completely unnecessary.
2. Elemental lords. Nobody liked earth lords when OMD2 came out. In endless, they become a huge problem and require insane micromanagement, as the little earthlings take on more and more health -- by wave 38 or so, they basically ignore any weapon damage, and of course by the time they they materialize, they're at the end of your killbox. Adding other kinds of elementals = stupid and zero fun.
3. AI cheating. This includes barricade destruction, temporarily invincible sappers, heavies that mysteriously can't be headshot with the crossbow or resist stone staff and ice amulet freezing, little orcs that mysteriously teleport beyond the killbox -- the list goes on. Robot needs to fix this shit.
4. The tendency to give monsters everything and the player nothing. Challenge is nice, but this is getting silly. Yes, the AI is dumb and individually monsters are not much of a threat, but Robot forgets that the player is outnumbered by about 2000 to 1. How about some decent mage weapons and buffs for endless maps? How about improving something for the mage as well as the monsters as waves get higher? Floor portals are useless. Elementals make spores pointless eventually. So forth and so on.
Okay, I would be happy if monsters would just stop attacking barricades for no reason.
I'm considering a short vacation from OMD2. May be playing Borderlands 2 or something until the next DLC.
