Because I hate Compounds. Specifically Creeping Colonies. Specifically the final room.

Glop Drops are one of the most annoying enemies in the game. They spawn in huge packs, if you even touch them they deal damage and (if they can) status to you. They have low health but they can still deal stupid damage to you before they go down.

In this final room, there's several spots where they continually spawn in. They're aided by Greavers and Silkwings of all things. Howlitzers cover them while they rush at you with their stupid "attack mode," and you end up treading all over them and afflicted with status. You have to fend off all of this while going down relatively narrow corridors between their spawn spots, kill the Howlitzers and Greavers, as well as a Lumber, then you need to manage to get two keys to the end and run through.

OOO, you made the perfect broken area.

Bombs.

You'll see Nitronome from a completely different perspective.

Hey, why dont you try this:

2) Buy a Nitronome.

Problem solved.

I have had people pull both of these on me

How to beat a compound (must be party leader):

1: Bring the following items:
A maskeriath with shadow cloak.
Several friends (preferably ones you don't mind losing).

2. When you get to the final room, cloak.

3. Let your now ex-friends clear the room, while you stay away from the mini-mob spawn points.

4. Repeat as needed.

Alternatively:
Die twice, and refuse to revive yourself until the rest of the party clears the level.

How to clear compounds - stop trying to defeat all enemies, and focus on completing the objective.

Always the one guy who says "move this here" without even pitching in their own comments...

But, seriously, we do have a rant forum. It's called "Suggestions". Enter at your own risk.

As for your problem, a good bomb helps a lot. Also try ignoring enemies and just clearing the level.

And that my friends, is part of why this game has such a bad development cycle. Innovation = ranting... just keep the costumes coming. Don't need new content, no no no.

That was exactly my point. Barely anything gets even as much as acknowledged in that board.

But I haunt it anyway.

I thought that was general

I thought that was general discussion, right next to the whining forum.
