Questions about Lockdown
Sun, 10/09/2011 - 07:24
Okay, I'm coming back after a small break and Lockdown seems fun, but I have some questions.
1.) I'm a T3 knight, however, I'm in the 4star range and I feel underpowered compared to the 5star Gran Faust wielding behemoths. Is there any way this can be remedied?
2.) Is there no way to queue with friends? This is completely silly. I'm not in a guild but I have plenty of friends who play. Why can't I queue with them?

I don't think there are
I don't think there are enough people with 5 friends playing lockdown to make it worthwhile, heck its already extremely difficult to get a team for guild lockdown. Also queuing with friends can lead to stacked teams or people working against their own team to help their friends. I think those are the reasons why OOO didn't implement queuing with friends.

Your only solution is to
Your only solution is to collect enough armor sets to build counter-loadouts that you can swap during a match. Lockdown has a good mix of Piercing, Shadow and Elemental weapons, so running only 1 set of armor leaves you pretty vulnerable if enough of the other team can favor your weakness.

Change your equipment and come play in T1 or T2 :)

Click the button at the same time or have someone tell you when their play again game is about to start. I'd really love a "Join next match" option on the friends list, like joining them in the clockworks.

Definitely cook up a T2 or T1
Definitely cook up a T2 or T1 set, it's much more satisfying. Cheaper to build too.

For your first question, I
For your first question, I would suggest playing Guardian. This puts you in a role that is less dependent on your gear, because you can just aid your teammates by shielding and healing. Of course, as the others said, you may have more fun in lower tiers.
I love your username by the way :)

Create a T1 or T2 PvP loadout and play there for a while. Change all your other loadouts to PvE. That's what I do.

Currently there is no "arranged party" queue. you can try to queue at the same time, but you may end up on separate teams or in separate games. The only way you can reliably play with your friends is to form a guild.
1. Other than trying to upgrade your stuff and/or practice your dodging, I don't really think there's much else you can do there. :( Maybe look into more shadow defense? The Dread Skelly Charm might help a little.(Not too sure though, I usually play T1 Lockdown now after dealing with all the one shots.../)_-))
2. I think the closest thing your going to get to, is a guild vs guild type of game. I don't think there is a type of game specifically for friends yet. It be kinda cool though, if it was implemented. :)
