There I am training my Solo character via the bank guards in Arnika and I pop out of the bank (to sell ill-gotten supplies from the dead corpses of the guards) when lo and behold I'm attacked by Savant Gunners and Savant Berserkers.
Bear in mind that the character level was 8 and I had only not leveled up for one level - in otherwords had I leveled-up it would have been character level 9.
Remember were not talking about troopers, lower level henchmen, or lower level drones - these were Gunners and Berserkers.
Think thats bad?
They were ALL level 21!!!!!!!!! (the term "Mighty" takes on a whole new meaning with that disparity in level.)
Fortunetly there were "only" two berserkers. As it turned out I was able to run to a patrol before getting waxed. This allowed me a "refresher" via potions and I could hide behind the patrol for a bit and only provide occasional additional hit-support. The patrol and I also got very lucky in that all of the gunners ran away (presumably because of my high stealth). Still - it took an hour real-time for that battle with those two Berserkers and in the end one patroler lost his life and 3 of us were left paralyzed for several minutes after the battle had ended. Shear luck that ANY of us survived. But in the end those two Berserkers doubled my experience points. Now however I'm extremely paranoid about moving around Arnika - I mean there are still 5 level 21 gunners out there.....
Has anyone else "experienced" something similar?
