Prowlers ruining stormpoint

Three games today they interfere in critical battles against humans. I’m playing to pit my lousy skills against humans, not monsters that make it even harder for me to compete. Very frustrated and no...

@Frosty20203 I think they’re fine and a nice addition to the game to mix things up in pubs. However, they do too much damage and they’re too many of them. I suggest reducing the damage to just 10 and reducing their number and how fast they spawn.

Disagree. They are intrusive to the concept of humans competing against other humans. They ruin every battle they affect. With my lousy skills, I have a 5% chance of winning battles. With the monsters involved, I have a 0% chance. The monsters further and unfairly tilt the advantage towards the better skilled players. It doesn’t matter how much damage they do, their mere presence means I am guaranteed to die if enemies are also involved.

  I think they are ok in the game.
  You can farm them for dmg to increase shields or upgrade some loot. But it is risky as it causes noise and you may not get what you want out of them.
  You can use the spiders to advantage by shooting the eggs when a team is under them to cause distractions when they come out.
  If you find them to cause you problems the prowlers are easy enough to avoid. Rotate around them.
  They are a new thing that you have to adjust your playstyle to.

    @Asmodeus566 I’m usually following other teammates. And often we are forced through prowler areas either because of the ring or because of enemy positions blocking other routes or because of being pursued. No one says to themselves “let’s go the long way because there are here”. I instead hope no enemies show up as we pass through the monster areas. Theirs easy to kill, except when a superior enemy player is fragging you. And that’s the point. They’re useless to the game, at best, or ruin my chances in battles, at worst. My stats have plummeted in stormpoint, and the monsters are making it worse. I might try another game soon that sticks to the core idea of humans vs humans.
