DO NOT ACCEPT THIS MISSION!!!
This mission is still broke in mission 4, room 2.
15 Mallers, 3 sentry tower III's, 5 frigs, and 7 BS's arrgo right off the bat.
The problem isn't how many ships arrgo, it's the lag created by so much activity.
Aligned or not, you will be in a pod very fast, with no possibility of warping out. And you loose the keypass needed to enter the 1st room, which means you can't complete this mission.
I've read that people have soloed this mission, but I don't believe it!

Did they cut the difficulty (but not by enough) or is it just like it was?

thats rubbish - if they all aggro-ed u then u doing something wrong.
the only dangerous bit of in the midst of DS is the last pocket of mission 1of5 and even that aint too difficult.
and btw i've never once had lag on this mission so maybe its a problem at your end causing the lag - dont automatically blame the game.
if u want to come watch me solo it next time i get offered mission then feel free.

I can't remember exactly what was in that second room, but I am pretty sure I only remember 3 BS for me and maybe 5-6 Maller. I don't recall how many frigs but 3 sentry sounds right. It was instant agro too.
I still lost but it was doable. I beat this wave and the second wave but the third wave killed me, which sucked because I lost my key so I had to fail the mission (lost almost half a standing point and basically wasted the previous serveral hours on this chain to not get to the end...).
I don't think I'd do it again, but in general I feel that way about a lot of missioning lately :)

I didn't don anything when I warped in, other than align with an object so I could warp out ASAP if needed.
Everything arrgo'd and I immediately tried to warp out. I was aligned and at full warp, just sitting there getting pounded. I then got a few missile lobs at the gate hoping to destroy the gate before I warped out.
I started warping out as soon as I got arrgo'd. As soon as the I was in my pod and the arrgo stopped, I warped out.
I have a high speed DSL connection.

when do you need a key here ?
I tried yesterday with an ishtar, was near impossible at the 3 rd part (the 1st one with sentry), the sentry fired immediatly on me and i was not able to warp out :p
But in domi it was ok, but next gate is more hard then, (still lot of sentry + maybe 7 BS with 5 frigs and if i remember somes cruisers but not sure for them) tried several times, some time no one agro me at all for several minutes, but after some fight all red things aggro to hell with warpjam frigs and also aggro the drones so have to let down for the night... At one point the worst thing is that BS tend to go away fast and so take you back middle of other groups and sentries...

Had a Raven tanked to the max, all T2 equipment. I've tanked 6 Mallers, 6 frigs and 4 BS's without a problem.
I was in a pod in less than a minute in this part of the mission.

great :)
And the most crazy thing is that if you are not fitted with AB, time you come back to gate 3 or more , all the npc you have killed without finishing in pod will be back again so more than difficult to do it alone, but not impossible if by luck you are not getting aggro by all like it happen to me one time (so still strange behaviour).

Your kidding right? Wasnt difficult. I used a dominix. 5 hardeners, 2 large armour T2 reps, Type tanked as its amarr rats.
Went in killed the 3 (i think) frigs, popped a couple mallers then warped out. Came back killed another few mallers and warped again.
You will have to launch a set of drones each time, but you can re-scoop them next time you warp in, or at the end.
After that i could tank the spawn with both reps running continuosly (use dual heavy nos, switching targets to maintain cap)
Once youve killed the sentries, you can drop to one large rep, with the other kicking in every now and again for a boost.
Pop the sentrys next, then kill off the mallers. You can tank the bs's easy, they wreck for about 35 damage if you get your tanking right. The mallers hurt more due to their rof.
Edit: They do all agro at once.

Do you use AB or Mdv ? because without it, take so long time to come back that for me generaly all the pop is back at the 3rd gate... and with mdw having all the aggro + sentry is heavy pain.
Also noticed that at 1st gate i have at least 5 caldari navy moa and one or more raven, middle of the amarr ships

Did this with my corp last night, I took approximately 18000 damage in under 15 seconds on our second attempt! Got out with 51% structure.

Mission is screwed up. My original "Do Not Accept" is still valid.
CCP must agree as my ship was replaced. Of course my 100M+ in tech 2 mods weren't.

This mission is doablebut to me it is a pain that there is so much travel to gates. I don't use MWD or AB on my Raven. Need the mid slots for shield tank. But.....25 km to Acceleration Gate No 1. and that is before you even get in there.
Level one of first mission cleared and then you have a 41 km trip to gate 2, 18 km to gate three.
To solo this I have to warp in and out as needs be. then the journey starts all over again. Hmmm....seems CCP have thought up a new way to keep us online longer :)
Quite honestly, I have never had the time to spend online to even complete this first part. Oh well, at least I get the bounties on the tags day after day till the mission expires. BTW...switching to medium drones from heavies helped a lot with frig killing due to greater speed.

Seems odd that some people say this is easy and some say its hard. That some get insta aggro's and some don't. That some get scrambled and some don't.
Is it possible theres a right group to aggro first ? and if you pick the wrong one everything else aggro's with it ?

yes also it take years when doing solo to finish the 1st (so the 4 gates or more) level so what are the 4 other levels of this 5 mission deadspace? If they are more hard that the 1st part, could sign up for 3 months more :)

My goodness i wish i read this first. this mission is so hard.
insta grief as soon as you drop from warp on all gates. when fly to the gate i get droped 30km away from the first warp in gate.
the first gate i had to call for help as i could not kill anything at all. just not enought time to kill anything..
second gate - doable but only just a few warp out needed. once you kill the bships (ravens and armagedons) and dmg all the fleet moa.
third gate scram frigs killed my mate poon. but i they not scram me in my tempest!
and omg the four gate 7 or 8 groups of cur and Bships with sentry guns all greifing at the same time.
lmao
warp and quit mission i started it at about 3:30pm and quit about 12:30am
silly silly lvl far to hard to solo, and my tempest tanks well.

Just finished part 1/5 in roughtly 2 hours. Using a dominix which was packing, 2 Large Armour Reps (T2's), (2 Thermic, 1 EM, 1 Kinetic) Hardners (T2's) as her tank and a full bay of drones, small, medium and large (T2's) as the fire power. Mannanged to agro most sections straight away but getting used to that as drones do like to wonder off the moment you turn your back! Total losses just 1 ogre drone, but it went down fighting!!!
Only hard part was the mix of amarr and caldari at the start as went in with the wrong tank on :)
Happy Hunting. |
