Perhaps the real reason people glitch the incursion is because it's difficulty set around making so the devs couldn't beat it. Yes, in the interview with IGN they said that the difficulty was set solely around if they could beat it or not. If they could, then they made it harder.
Given that impressive level of thought of design no wonder people glitched it. Perhaps if it was playable and beatable more than 1/10 times more people would play it legit.
I've tried it 3 times on hard mode. 1st time we followed some guy that claimed to do it dozens of times. He proceeded to have us stick to the back right platform where we kept getting wiped before half way, so I quit. 2nd time we did it with a foreigner that was rather rude. Kept ordering us around with skills we told him we aren't set up for. Barely managed to win that one and got my first 2 set items. 3rd time we were doing great, and at the last wave, when all we had to do was blow the apc and we were done, the bomb holder said some stupid things and charged at the tank with over a dozen npc's shooting at him. We ended up wiping because of that...smhOriginally Posted by RENZ0 Go to original post
That's all I've done so far. I don't even know if we get another set item if we complete it again.
I FULLY admit I was with a group that had done this before and were VERY good at it. In fact, the only reason I was with them is because I hadn't completed it yet and they were essentially "using" me to host so they could get the extra items. We went down into the trench and I was told what to do and how to do it the whole time lol.Originally Posted by KyosjiKenji Go to original post
People glitched it because they could, simple as that even though just learning how to play it took far less time. Glitching made it feel like it was easier.
Now that there are strategy guides out there on how to do it, there is absolutely no reason to glitch it to get it done... Well that and now you can't glitch it. Having a mic and the ability to speak helps out wonders. I'm willing to bet people with no mics will be segregated from the rest of us because you need it to have a some what smooth incursion run.
