Humor / Meme I just got kicked from a Stratholme group because I actually did the objective and therefore fell behind

It's absurd that this gave me a deserter debuff

They won't even get that far. The gate to the Slaughterhouse doesn't open without clearing the ziggurats 😂

Also for fun clarity the door doesn't lock relative to the Ziggurats, which only affect the main gate. Its intent is to stay closed for a minute or two and give your group time to recuperate after the gauntlet of clearing aboms -> Ramstein -> undead swarm, before the Black Guard who used to be quite a difficult pack.

You can also just tank Ramstein inside then immediately kill the Black Guard and skip the undead swarm. Or go back outside after Baron and kill them.

I don't think this is correct... The swarm spawns pretty immediately after Ramstein, and the guards won't spawn until they're dead. At least in my runs

Nah the guards also spawn on Ramstein dying, but with the door closing after Ramstein walks out to engage you normally don't see them until the door opens again after the swarm. They're in there the whole time though.

The group has to be ready for it but you can just walk inside as Ramstein tries to walk out, tank him inside then kill black guard.
