Just lost everything - purge

My worst enemy are bugs on PS5.
Not purges, not bosses, not crappy thralls… :sweat_smile:
I even made a topic about it under feedback. I had the worst session ever on Single Player mode; today, and I’m putting the game aside until we’re treated properly.

I’m not quitting either, but I won’t be playing, much less spending copius amounts of money, on a game as broken as this one is on PS5.

Until I see real fixes, I won’t touch it. It’s too frustrating.

Keep that spirit up, @DeaconElie .
It’s been a pleasure. I hope to see you guys soon! That would mean they have made the game better for PS5 players.
:beers:

now imagine an rocknose avalanche purge, in atual conditions

Been there, done that, and why I move my base south of noob river. Does that river have an actual name?

Purple orbs are very weak compared to traditional truncheon. Truncheons can have a blunt applied and with a regular one made without crafter, you can deal 100 concusive dmg per heavy swing while an orb deals 25. Add a T4 taskmaster with concusive damage bonus and invest in attributes and it’s even faster.

This means it takes 25 secs for any knockable enemy to sleep? It’s still a bit.
They can either kill or be killed during that interval, I assume. If I can trap them somehow it will work. I’ll test it if the godamn game ever gets fixed for ps5.

I’m pretty sure you’re dealing with the same old purge mechanic. They’ve said the reworked purge isn’t coming until chapter 2. If you’re scared of the purge there’s always noob river where they removed it even though they shouldn’t have. It’s the only pve mechanic in the game that’s slightly challenging.

When it worked right I would almost have agreed.

The new orbs will drop a T4 in one orb, used to take 4.

ETA: good luck finding a place to build in the no purge zone on a PVE server, the most heavily built area with the biggest compounds.

so I still remember our first purge in Highlands, we had a base at Devils Squat - a bunch of mid-levels who had a problem with even one skull wolf got a perfect welcome - Cimmerian Beast tamers and for better effect right in the middle of the base

but somehow we were giving it until the Green Dragon came in the last wave. There we were saved only by the fact that he spawned in a place where there were 2 layers of t1 foundations because of the terrain and he got stuck there …
I then slowly stabbed him from above with my spear, the rest of us helped with our bows.

We are currently at Sinkhole where we only have Rocknoses , usually 2 players and a couple of bersekers are enough for the final boss

but I once defended an outpost in the Highlands alone against a Nordheimer army with a few Daughters of Ymir … me, Lianelle and 7 berserkers (lvl 20 epic gear)

Well, I’m curious about the siege and how we’ll have to modify the base to defend it.

What’s the benefits of going through the purge? And it’s not thralls because thralls are obtained elsewhere and significantly easier.

If they added eldarium and Siptah recipes (like Siptah surges does to get EL stuff) then it would be worth it.

Unique thralls. If I remember right hey had specific recipes.

Back a long time ago when you could only get legendary repair crafting from the purge thralls. Not anymore and the repair kits are changed via AoW so they aren’t even that cool or necessary anymore.

This is on test. And i helped with a purge last night, got 2 shotted by a Stygian II. Not even 1 skulls do that to me in wild in the build i am running on test. So they scaled up purges it looks like.

I dont believe the pirge was/is now meant for farming. it is a test so to speak of yoir builind and fighting skills. Also to help maintain overbuilding.

I’m hoping the siege towers will be operated by npc’s, and poison arrows can disrupt them. Or the towers are destructable, in which case poison and explosive arrow.

But affect everyone in the cloud, which can be very useful against a purge mob.
Also I kind of disagree on them being “very” weak.

Question: is it not possible to opt out in Age of War?

You opt in to the treasure raids/sieges by setting up a treasury/vault.
From what I understand that wont start till chapter 2. Really :roll_eyes: And supposedly replace the present purge.

This purge I why I hate them. It’s a prime example of the issue with it.

I have no idea why chapter 2; well I say that but have a suspicion. It seems if the big thing in the age of war is npc raids for you “trressurr”, you wouldn’t put it off till chapter 2.

Unless you simply can’t make the battle pass deadline and know it.

You can out smart a purge by taking a few days off.

The current build on the test client still has the old purge. Afaik they are revamping purge in a later chapter.
