    Nice to see this on Ark finnaly :D Was checking out about 4-5 of the locations as I couldn't find any info on forum. Overall, was able to finish only one of those events - probably the lowest difficulty one ;)

    While cool idea, implementation lacks short once again imho. Main issue I saw was that the event areas are quite small and once you have a high agro event mob the result is the whole spawn is on u the moment they appeared ... :( ... You need serious protection and skills to survive 20-30 Oratan Thugs on u at once ...

    The end mob looks quite nice and seem to drop items - got 2 armor pieces on the 2 times I killed it (L ones and TT food but still ...) and the lvl 16 thug I faced is not at all hard to defeat, just has a lot of HP

    If any1 else cares to share his oratan wave experience, pls don't be shy :p

    Like Zume, I did the slashers. There are 4 camps in that area, I think two are regular oratan and two are slashers. The camp farther north is larger and has more slashers in each wave, tho they seem to be the same maturities. Slashers don't have big agro, so if you're doing it solo, it's much easier to do them than regular oratan... plus they're just easier mobs, especially if you don't have good pene/burn armor and good dodge (most Arkadians don't).

    The lancers are visually awesome. Not real high attack rate, which is good, though they do quite a bit of damage... I was in ursa plus 5B, and was getting 40 hp hits. But overall, not too hard for 2 players doing 50 dps. I didn't check what the hp was, I'm guessing about 4k or so.

    Did the one at 28340, 22870 which is a level 1 and has mostly Oratan Thugs, which are not that hard to kill (for me).

    The problem with this location is that it is smack in the middle of a large group of Oratan, that are not part of the wave spawn, but do come into the event area and they are of a larger maturity then the wave spawn maturity is (Vandals mostly). So, it would be nice to have some more room around the spawn event that is clear of Oratan there, sice you have to work your way trough a large group of them to even get to the event spawn.

    Was in Boar+5B, as my 6As are on Caly for some reason ... think with 6As would have been easier, altough the getting instantly covered with all mobs in spawn is not nice unless your defence is high enough. As RAZER stated, mobs from surrounding area are quite annoying as well :(

    Did the one at 23830,22420 which was a level 1 mix wave spawn with a Lancer Thug at the end.

    Was wearing Shogun with 6A armor and was shooting my LR41. Most Oratan just did anywhere between 1 and 10 damage, but because they all stand around you at the same time shooting at you, it sometimes was a bit tricky when it comes to healing. Managed to get trough it without dieing. This Location had a tent in the middle, so when you stand all the way to the entrance of the spawn location with the Oratan spawning behind the tent usually don't see you, this will give some relief when it comes to the amount of Oratan shooting at you at the same time.

    The local spawn or Oratan was far enough away at this location so they did not form any trouble when doing the wave spawn.

    about the first one at 28340, 22870 a bit more. Tried it again and like the last one I did it was a level 1 spawn, but this time the 3th spawn all of a sudden had Vandals in it instead of just Thugs like the other level 1. Vandals do 20 damage instead of 1 - 5 in my armor setup, seems to me that the levels are not the same even if they are both level 1 OR there is something wrong with that location.

    it depends on the maturities, the higher ones are really really nasty, i started off with bear/boar L and 6a's for the smallest ones but found that hydra L is a nice alternative, added bonus is that the oratan drop 4 pieces of hydra and the markup isnt that high atm, and its arkadian armour so not that hard to find compared to bear/boar or similar here.

    One does not simply walk into an Oratan wave spawn.

    I've been having a go solo at 17980, 23260 Oratan Slasher level 2 (yes I know its probably easier for groups).

    Everything is going fine until a random lvl 47 oratan turns up in the middle of the spawn. wtf? I'm in good armour set up for slashers so it doesnt really cope well with this this guy. I can't kill him outright before i have to fap and if I fap he completly regenerates so I guess I am screwed.

    Thanks mordrell but its nearly bed time for me now.
    I had another go, changed my armour to more suit the ranged attacks but suspect my expenses went up heaps since I got a lot of min damage from the slashers.

    Ended up timing out right at the end of the 2nd wave - as I had another situation in society vying for my attention also. But I probably need to push dps up a little anyway.

    I'll see if you are online next time I am having a go.

    Is it a 47 (menace) or 77(enforcer)? I wouldn't think you'd have trouble with a menace.

    Just spent a shit load of ammo with soc m8's one one of the lvl 3 slasher waves. After shooting out 300ped ammo and only having 150ped loot back I decided to stop. I was one of three so we prob spent around 1k in ammo there... they are ok except hitting a slasher from the side as its running is impossible and you sometimes have to look around for a missing oratan.

    And loot sucked... biggest loots came from random slashers.
