Suspicious Shipments - Troops On Steroids?

[Data-Zero]

As i played the event, i noticed that the enemy in the alert hits considerably harder. First i thought, maybe my mind is playing tricks, but then came Corpus Techie and shot me 3-5 times and my shields were gone. 810 of it to be exact and half of my HP. The Technician was lvl 22. And he was not the only one who did that stunt.

Ran a corpus on mission on pluto. Technician was level 28. And it took him longer to kill me. 10-15 shots.

Used a Volt in the event. I asked my clanmates about them and they noticed the same thing. The event ones hit harder. He even took his rhino with him.

Anyone else noticed it?

[Dualstar]

Cant say anyone hasnt noticed it at this point.

[BrotherIcarus]

Yep they are nightmare levels of damage, but they are still corpus so focus on Avoiding the damage and not tanking it.

[Casardis]

They are super strong yeah. I especially noticed this when solo-ing with Saryn. It didn't matter which of the three alert it was: they were extremely strong and came in higher numbers than the Grineer. I was still able to do it pretty decently, but if I slipped just a few seconds, even my 720 shields + 1058 health Saryn can't take the damage (got shockwaved into oblivion once, but I used health restore).

 

My concern is for some solo players and new players, such as how the latest one is on Earth, in the way of progression, therefore halting those low level players heavily.

Yea, went in as ash for a mobbing build. Couldn't last 2 seconds under fire. Went in as Loki, did fine. But I tried melee for infested, one claw hit dropped 445/225 to 0/15. It was crazy. Stayed invis the whole time O.o

 

I went in solo. It was the first in a long time where I felt a little scared :P. Boltor Prime was may savior.

I've seen my enemies dying dozens of times in seconds, but I was using Valkyr so didn't feel it in my skin :-)

[semangka]

Yes i did, definitely a HUGE buff. I had to really jump around, and use my invis often ( i was using loki), best tip is use either a rhino, or a fast frame

fast frames tend to be able to avoid more shots cuz of travel time. and rhino well, i need no explination

[Kratier]

i tried to do this mission and died 3 times in like 2 seconds. not fun.

cant seem to find anyone playing the mission, so i was forced to solo it- big mistake

[Gemini_Kuro]

Yeah, i noticed that already lost 3 revives on my Rhino P. and 2 on my Loki for not being carefull, during the third alert I got cold enviroment so I had less shields on my Loki while I was using Invisibility during the animation a Moa was shooting me and killed me before I could scape XD 

[Tymerc]

Lol my Frost Prime wrecks all of them.

[J-Reyno]

Yeah, but my Zephyr didn't give a damn.

[RoboDoge]

Yea, they tend to kill you pretty fast if you are not careful. Something two-shotted me when i was using Loki.

[Ss3trnks2]

Yea, I ran the Earth mission with my Rhino Prime, I got through it easily enough...but I was not able to just sit there and face tank it all, i actually had to use cover....it was a nice change of pace tbh :)

Challenge = not fun?

Do you prefer destroy everything without any effort / stress?...

[R34LM]

We are in for some for a major catastrof*** if this is a hint for what is to come........hhhhhhhhyyyyype!

[rushari]

2700 armor means nothing to them O_o. At least I still have hysteria in my sleeve.

Well I would get angry if I died three times in a row without a chance of escaping it.

[PrivateAli]

Yup, I've noticed that too. The main 'issue' with these friends is not even that they deal more damage (well, not for my rhino at least) but that they tend to group behind doors in groups of 5-20 ppl (well, in case of the infested .. 'things').

 

I've ran all 3 alerts so far with a buddy who just joined the game (mag lvl 15 at best, 480 shields, 180ish hp). Well, had to revive him average of 9 times per mission (even died 2 times myself while trying to revive him after he ran out of revives earlier that day).

 

I wouldn't say they're troops on steroids (in case of the corpus) but rather that their weaponry is on steroids (did the corpus find out the magic of serration?)

[eprstt]

nnnice fun =) lotus was notify - "ships are heavy armoured". armoured and armed is good for my gun =) i still have no idea about event - but allerts are goood.

Skill, you can avoid their bullets.

this is not a challenge, its artificial difficulty

i havent farmed enough so i literally have 0 chance at completing this mission.

[Kaian-a-coel]

Lost all my revives on my excal. I had to play dirty and abuse spawns to finish the damn mission.

If you go alone you are risking some occasional deaths. Either you move around without going Rambo style, or you go with a team that is not selfish.

Then, you should find some tennos friends, but it's not artificial, if you take bullets, you die, and you can avoid them

 

 

if you are hit by the bullets, it's your fault.

[Tograk]

A lil bit skill u need and already cry... I love warframe community, are you all 10 year old kids? I thought this game is from 17.
