This is really just a rant about core stones. For context, I play on Hazard 5+1 until i get comfortable enough for 5+2.
Who thought this event would be a good idea?? An infinite stream of enemies with extremely minimal downtime scaled to player count. The enemies have more health than a grunt guard, move faster than a player can run away, and do as much damage as a slasher. And they can jump to clear distances and cause havoc.
And then you need to mine a rock that takes a minimum of 8 pickaxe swings and requires you to stand still while aforementioned stream of enemies destroys you. Oh, and you cant just sprint it out because there are animation phases before the rock becomes mineable.
Then you have the tanky-ass rock that you have to kill while dealing with the previously mentioned stream of enemies, eating up all your ammo.
And THEN you have a mission to do still. At least the korlok (similarly challenging IMO) can be ignored until you're ready, but this current event spawns infinite crawlers before you even trigger the event! That part I don't mind tbh I just think the enemy itself is completely overtuned.
I have never once completed this mission (counting back to the previous ones before the current event) without gunner zip-line cheese. I almost think that they should add a ranged crawler just to really cement it as the dumbest event of all time.
Rant over.
Let me know your thoughts and if you can solo this event without zipline cheese on 5+ cuz I just don't even see how its possible. I'd love to see some videos of people better than me showing me how bad I am
