Just spent a few hours trying to beat PvE, only problem is the warrior is unkillable or damn near it. I unloaded 1 1/2 full clips of heavy bolter rounds into it while a shieldbro tanked it and 2 tacticals shot at it for about 2 minutes straight. Everytime we get to that point we lose because we cant kill the warrior, and we cant progress on because we have to kill it to open the next set of doors. This patch is just chock full of all kinds of messed up stuff. I don't think ive run into a single game system that runs properly since patch #23 happened. Stuff that should have been already developed and untouched is now falling apart at the seams. It really feels like a 2 steps forward, 10 steps back scenario. I CANNOT WAIT for a bugfix and balancing patch.
I haven't tried yet myself, but I do have quit a bit of raiding experience. And just so we're clear, I'm by no means saying you're wrong on the matter. Maybe the PVE lairs need upgraded weapons, upgraded survival stats, melta weapons, melta bombs, and a specific strat to defeat the Warriors? Saying a lair is unplayable or impossible day ONE after going live is a bit of a stretch. Perhaps more experimentation as far as how the Warrior is tackled(tanked, kited, baited, hammer and anvil) and more experimenting with various weapons combinations might be warranted prior to saying the lair is impossible?
Maybe PvE is something you HAVE to bring melta bombs to. Im just shocked that we focus fired that warrior for 2 minutes and it still didn't drop.
I too, think it is bugged. No pun intended. Watched my squadmates pound on it for about 2 minutes, same as you while I went around and mopped up any stragglers trying to flank. Then when I was done with that, I went to help. Fired off 18 starswarm missiles into it and three starshot. According to the target dummies in garrison, that's 4800 damage from me alone, not counting two minutes of hits from two warlocks power swords and a DA's shurcat. It didn't die.
Same experience here, we didn't die, but simply couldn't beat it before the timer reached zero, and I think that was with two HBs...
Same issue, tried it today, we hacked at the damn thing till the timer ended, to no avail. It's most likely a bug, since none of the hits seem to register. That being said, melee needs a revamp, it is damn right hideous right now.
Only ran PvE once today, but we skipped the tyranid warrior. Just ran behind it to the next airlock, which was open to us, and shut the door on its face... I figured you weren't supposed to kill it.
I remember trying to fight a Warrior the first time PvE dropped. It wouldn't die either. I'm super glad they've reintroduced PvE but still have not fixed that.
same issue here. however we made it throught despite the second warrior comming in to help his friend at murdering us,
