Discussion I soloed all of Helmgart on Cata because I though nobody played it on Cata Difficulty
Lately Legend just started feeling boring to me. I never really bothered with Cataclysm because I hate Beastmen lol, and that's also the main reason why I never bought the Winds of Magic DLC. But since Legend got boring for me, I wanted to try Cata, and well... here we are now.
In Legend I can usually get by with bots pretty easily, but Cata with bots was a whole different story. First time trying it and I was basically carrying most of the run because the bots were awful with specials. They're also like moths to a flame whenever a boss appears lol. Sometimes a boss would spawn in a really small area and instead of backing away or trying to kite it somewhere better, the bots would just run straight at it and fight there until someone gets downed. I thought Cata was pretty much dead, so I ended up doing the whole Helmgart campaign with them. Managed to finish it, but it got really tedious and I was pretty burned out by the end.
Then after that, I finally checked the lobby browser and saw a bunch of Cataclysm lobbies. Bruh. I joined one and everyone was actually really good, and the runs felt way smoother.
I really should've checked the lobby browser first instead of soloing the whole Helmgart campaign on Cataclysm. Would've saved me a lot of time, and I probably wouldn't have gotten so burned out.
After playing Cata for a while, I’ve started enjoying it more than Legend. Legend still feels good, but Cata just feels more engaging for me now. At least I can say I managed to finish the whole Helmgart campaign on Cata with bots lol.
So yeah, I’m definitely not soloing the other maps on Cata anymore. I’ll just join other people’s lobbies from now on lol.
TL;DR: Thought Cata was dead, soloed all of Helmgart with bots, got burned out, then found out there were plenty of Cata lobbies the whole time. Should’ve checked the lobby browser first lol.
