Goodbye to Hellgate: London … MMORPG on 56K dialup! (Part 2 of a series)
WHAT TO DO NOW
Good News! First of all, mostly the bugs are gone in the regular part of Hellgate: London. If you are one of those – like me – who dropped the multiplayer because of the bugs, they are now mostly resolved. It ran wonderfully for me on 56K. NO delays or issues or crashes! Just for a challenge, I went back to Hell and challenged the Big Guys. In the past, disconnects would make it damn near impossible to complete it. Not anymore. As a Level 33 Engineer, MaxR dispatched the mini-bosses and Lords of Hell pretty effortlessly:
Flying critters
Almost endlessly respawning mobs
Watch the Wing! Ouch!!
Discord
Rash
Note the spectral essense the boss drops. Important for Stonehenge
Despair
And now we get to meet THE BOSS !
Disappointingly, we see that none of these are a real challenge
... Same as the Old Boss
So .. that leaves … Start Over – perhaps on ‘Nightmare’, as I did – several times with my Engineer and my Single-Player Level 50 Evoker … or
… Stonehenge
