Obscuremoron, you are an idiot. I've seen two versions of this mission. The one you are having an easy time with is...get this...easy. The 2nd one is not. It is nowhere near a lev3 quality mission. This is the type/difficulty mission I would expect for a lev4. Lay off with your everyone-is-a-whiner *****fest. I was running 2 55% named hardeners, 8 heavy drones, and tech2 repairers and my dom was ganked as well. So until you have all the facts, I suggest you drink a large cup of shut the hell up.

go away , its just that CCP dident tell anythin about the
changes. therefore i couldent make the changes to my ship..
so i lost it.. without a chance.. i know how to do the tactics
in the game.. trust me... ive been in this game for a while.. so..
but i just find it really annoining that once again i loose a ship because
CCP forgets to mention the changes.. i check the patch notes evry time, ..
i just want my megaT back. i worked a loooong way to get it.. and its not fair i lost it
because of this..!........

i even asked in help channel.. they told me that it was just a normal mission
with the same kind of rats as before just with new names.. so i thought no more of it
and engaged,,, maby that was my mistake.. BUT if u see over the day. more then 50 bs was lost today because of this.. so ... i have been in help channel all day
been talkin to lots of people that lost their ship.. and well.. i se it this way...
that CCP made a mistake, they dident post anywere about the change.. if we just had been warned or anythin.. well taht could have helped.. BUT again CCP dident.. so...

If I was to formulate "The first rule of life in EVE", it would be:

Never undock in a ship you can't afford to lose, no matter how safe you think you are.

To judge by your complaints, it seems you couldn't afford to lose your ships. I have yet to try this mission, but I can promise you I won't be here complaining if my ship gets blown to spacedust. I will applaud CCP for implementing a mission that's actually gives me a challenge.

This mission shouldn't be removed. I don't want the Zor situation again, the situation where a mission that proves to be a challenge gets removed just because some people couldn't handle it. Well, you had to learn the hard way that the mission was beyond your capabilities, so next time you get offered it you'll have to remember that you have the option to decline it.

I'm gonna try not to whine too much. Me and my Raven got owned on this mission. I'll admit I didn't do a ton of research going in, and I was able to put up a pretty stiff fight thanks to a Dread Guristas Rocket Launcher that spat out a Defender every 1.6 seconds, effectively disabling their missile offenses.

My main and pretty much only complaint is that the flow of my agent gave no indication as to the toughness of this mission. I had been doing the regular Damsel in Distress and kill the baddies at the bookmark, waiting for my agent to actually give me something vaguely worthwhile. I had been getting tougher missions from my level 2 agent before I recently left her to do a level 3 when my standing got high enough just two days ago. I'm only at 'Decent' rating with this level 3 agent. And suddenly this? It went from, "Own this guy and this bounty hunter rookie protecting him" to "Take on this fleet of mercenary assassins". The Raven is no big loss, I'll have another in two days, but it just sucked all of the realism out of it to suddenly have my agent that barely liked me and was still telling me to scrub his floor send me out on this high a difficulty of a kill mission. I feel like the biggest threat to me in Eve is CCP, its actions will probably cause me to lose more ships over my career than all the player rats put together.

Eh, don't count mine as a loss. A more experienced pilot would've been able to take them, I was just nubbin' it up today and completely didn't see it coming. I seriously foresee myself developing a fear of undocking on patch day. I'll probably just carebear it up in a station all day while I do something else and see what's posted on the forums at the end of the day. Or I suppose at the most I'll probably only fly around in a cruiser until other people find out where the CCP Mines are planted, last time I get blown up by one of them.

There I was having a fine day in my Dominix doing level 3 missions. Some were easy and some were challenging. Of course until I got to the Mordus mission. I dont remember the exact mission name but I remember the details pretty well. I typically warp in at 40k to be in range of my 250 rails. So I continued as usual. Warped in at 40k to see what I could engage. Before I could even count how many mobs there were I was locked with missiles coming at me. By time I had counted the 12 rats my shield had been depleted. I armor tank in my Dom so I hit my armor repairers and try and warp out realising something isnt right. So by the time I can count to 12 my shileds had been depleted, armor down 50% and I have been webbed and scrambled. So there I sit and watch my Dom go up in smoke with nothing I can do. I wasnt even able to lock a target before my ship was destroyed. I use a level 3 -16 qual agent. I have talked to many people that have had similar experiences since todays patch. I think this mission is beyond what I would call reasonable. I would hope CCP would make resitutions and fix this mission.

Originally by: obscuroditus I can understand it from your point of view - but dont you think its a bit...naieve? To take on a new mission before first investigating what you're up against ?

The first time I jumped in @ 60km, and checked out what frigs I was dealing with.
I had hardeners fitted for thermal, explosive and kinetic- and my armor has a high reistance against EM to begin with.

Now I tested the behaviour of the swarm, and it's really not very hard - just fit the right hardeners, and do some homework! They were shooting railguns and yellow missiles - meaning scourge/explosive missiles (prolly scourge since they are caldari based ships), and railguns is always kinetic/thermal.

Well, sorry to hear of your loss though, never nice. Next time prepare :)[/quote

---

Havocs/Piranha are explosive while Scourge/Bloodclaw do kinetic damage. Please excuse but I just wanted to make this minor correction and also ask of those who have done this mission to confirm the damage type/weapons that these rats deliver for future reference since there is no listing on either eve-db or eve-i for the "Mordus' rats.
Tis better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.

It seems rats are adjusted according to your ship - e.g. more difficult in a BS then in a cruiser and a frigate.

This would explain why I did it in a crusader. I had to leave for a repair after they webbed me first time, but once I got back it was simple.

This excellent mission will remain as it is, it will however have a more prominent warning that it is actually hard. Probably in big red letters for those that dont bother to read the mission descriptions

If you feel you have been treated unfairly with insufficient mission description and consider this far to and it cramps your style, feel free to contact customer support. They will investigate the matter and see if your claims is valid

You will see more challenging (read: Hard) missions that are not a walk in the park. They of course give bigger reward instead.

Agent missions aren't supposed to be all predictable and harmless. I think we all agree about that. Even the people that loose the ships thought it was fun, apart from loosing the ship of course.

Oh, and if you think these missions are hard, just wait till you get to lvl 4

always kill the interceptors first just like in 00,there are the ones who scramble and web..

I read the first post ,and i cannot believe someone loose a domi just that easy with all the drones a domi can carry..

same with the megathron..some people should just be flying a cruiser and do agent mission 1 and 2 if they dont know to use a bs.

People seem to have underestimated the new rats. If it has cost you a ship, buy a new one. I'd rather not have missions like mordus, or its rates, removed like that other mission rat a long time ago ( starts with a Z, i think ). I see why you would be frustrated to lose a battleship to a mission you have done 100 times before, but I don't understand how you could miss the critical info in your mission description. If you see rats in the list that weren't there before the patch, or a mission you have never seen before, approach with caution by fitting some warp core stabilizers. I just completed the mordus mission in my crow. I had to take out the lion and leopard, dunno if this is the easy or hard version, but it was more than doable. This mission does not need fixing, your ship setups do.

Well...the mission bit me back :-)

As a previous mission with a lot of leftoverlootcans, a deserted wrecking-base-ish thing seemingly were eating up virtual memory, I stuttered back to the base, and accepted the mordus mossion.

I've done about 4 of em now since yesterday, in my trusty tank-a-maller.

"This stuttering wont last long..." is what I thought when exiting the station, in small hops of freezing, my hdd light flickering intensely.

Suffices to say that my lack of reservation for restarting my client was held against me not 5 minutes later, sitting in my pod

It's quite hard to target anything if your screen keeps freezing up - and you dont really have a lot of time in the initial 5 minutes - your armor is being eaten away at amazing speeds, and the key is to eliminate damagedealers as quickly as possible.

Suffices to say I wasted valuable minutes trying to rightclick enemies in the melee of stuttering and freezups....and failed

Now...I told myself "well you knew that on forehand, your own mistake...luckely there's nothing on your ship thats irreplaceable" . 5x Anode pulse lasers, a medium nosferatu, Large Peroxide Cap battery, Li-Fueled Booster rockets .....a recharger....and on low two small tech II armor repairers and some hardeners.

Wait.

The recharger. CRAP :) I just fitted a Eutectic 18% before starting the mission

Haha. Suffices to say it was not in my remains...

Oh well. That should learn me a lesson.......next time I'll just restart the client before going in :) Lazyness doesnt pay.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your 'Duramaller' obscuroditus, but I think your attitude reflects best what others should take regarding these new missions. We mission runners now have a challenge and while I haven't had the pleasure of facing them yet (only had time for a few courier jobs from my administration agent lately) I look forward to it. There is an old saying about learning more in defeat than in victory so to all who've been 'egged' lately: wash, rinse, tweak and repeat.

BTW thanks for your thread regarding said ship. I use a Maller for lvl3 kills and enjoy seeing unconventional setups. Link below

P.S. Just got my 1st new and improved kill mission: 1 merc wingman, 3 merc elite fighters, and 1 merc commander. Definately more challenging and as others have said regarding mordus mission take out the webbing frigs 1st. I was webbed and using med size guns was completely unable to hit the wingman...at 1st. Fortunately I equip a web of my own.

I still think there should have been some warning about the much increased difficulty of this mission.

Most of the time my agent tells me "be careful this can be a difficult mission" and what I get is to vaporise some frigates, so please dont expect me to listen to that guy. I wished we were warned before about this mission in the ingame news ("New agent mission added, it might prove to be difficult for some, be careful, etc").

My Ogres, Unionized since Spring, were discussing attacking it. I promised wage hikes; they demanded shorter work days. They had me by my reproductive organs, so I relented.
