Undead Starting Zone on Insane...

Also as bad as undead starting zone is, at least it doesn't drop you into T1 zones where your survival is actually 100% RNG dependent, and you can lose 2 escorts before even starting the game properly.

It's really not bad at all, the enemies are a non-issue. I was even level 4 by the time I got to the giant so I had bone shield.

The forced starting zone makes sense in lore and I don't want it to be changed because it would be against the lore and that would be very bad.

Can't argue with that. The lore is the most important part of any game and I would go great lengths to improve the lore over the gameplay.

Moral of the story is you should play on nightmare.

Yeah no.

Guy responsible for recent nerf to undead starting area did a great job. Right now dungeon is around trollmire / kor'pul difficulty level and it is definitely easier than other tier 1 zones.

Its not the zone, its the sometimes unavoidable boss that you can kill only if he rolls a shit tier class as a boss. I.E. Bulwark and his only talent is GWF.

not winning is not an achievement

there is literally an achievement for not winning though?

I can kill myself and get an achievement. What's your point.

I did a few runs on the old rogue in 1.4.9 and had 0 issues w/ the giant, you could say he's really weak even, I'd even go so far as to say that it's way easier than the other starting zones, so maybe you need to approach it differently.

Approach it differently as in running it a few times until he doesn't roll a mage class?

How many bosses did you kill to do that?

There's a comparison for you.

I'm sure I did nerf the boss a lot. This sounds like a problem with how Insane does things.

Mex: If Undead are a challenge race because of the "difficulty to unlock" does that mean that Ogres are as well?

[Micbran]

HousePet, don't listen to Mex. He's become engorged on memes.

[HousePet]

Oh.
What a horrible way to go.

Position yourself so that you can dance around corners while waiting for shield cd and it doesn't matter if it's a mage or not. I just cleared an easy vault.

I've beaten the boss many times as a Demonologist.

To me, the evil thing about that start isn't the boss; it's that undead need a specific escort, which leads to a lot of startscumming.
