RNG on side missions, sometimes so easy, today...what happened.
I have some 200 hours in D2, 3 agents, 450 WT4, level 18 and level 12.
I have done the second part of the Odea Office and the batteries, 2 times before and it has been great fun but I have not died completing it until this morning.
It is not the 1st time I believe that a form of RNG exists on events / missions where most times you get the reasonable run, but like this morning there is the run from hell, sort of
“You shall not pass”.
My CTar 21 suddenly was really ineffective, taking ages to do much damage, there were more npc’s spawning in total but they kept spawning behind me, the rushers vanished, then reappeared right next to me, some npc’s ran at me jumped the barrier I was hiding behind and then hid behind me and the big yellow mini gun guy was barely scratched by 4 magazines.
Constantly moved, healed up but just could not kill them quick enough, before getting surrounded by multiple npc’s. Interesting to see tomorrow whether a subsequent run will be as tough.
Fairly aggressive NPC’s crowding your position, died 6 times before deciding maybe later.
Similar runs on Capitol Hill, Roosevelt Island, Air and water Museum, where runs were horrible, subsequent tries a walk in the park.
Have you had a similar experience where one attempt to complete a mission is horrible, other tries a walk in the park?
