there was a MARKED reduction in drop rate after one of the patches... entire clan noticed it, and noticed that even with people running drop chance boosters, resource boosters AND smeeta (for what it's worth) they were coming out of a 2 hr surv with 30 vitus at most. This isn't just RNG being her usual cruel-mistress-'self this is something else.
Sure we could put it down to the drones getting stuck, but when you got a team with loot detector and enemy radar that becomes a much slimmer chance, EVEN SLIMMER still would be those longer runs on the hydron map, where exactly would those drones' drops NOT be picked up? 🙂
People use this to pay for kuva, DE nerf pretty much every method of getting kuva, this was my go to reason for playing arbis..
I don't have to put on my tinfoil hat to draw a semi-logical conclusion here.
inb4 DE announce : "unintentially high drop rate WAS the bug in the first place but thank S#&$ it's fixed 😉 "

toxic much? leave man's fashion to himself.
Yeah super toxic lol how easily offended do ya have to be?
People are allowed opinions and I think it was "tongue in cheek" to say the least...

I think this might be an example of the "zero damage" bug rearing it's ugly head, if you check your logs it'll show a line "x frame @ x health was killed by 1 (or 0) damage from x enemy (or "unknown source")" - In part it'll show a fraction of dmg done compared to the available health of whatever died.
This bug has been about since arbis began and honestly aside from the community uproar I suspect is in part a reason they implemented revives, the bug needs to be addressed it's a proper gamebreaker yet i've seen zero feedback about it.
The REAL issue for me is that aside from solo play, the zero dmg bug hits my kitty and he's out for the entire mission and leaves me for the rest of the mission wishing i'd just brought my djinn like i always do.

Please for the love of everything awesome don't start a thread about this and how bad it is,
It has been YEARS since myself and almost everyone i encounter in game, enjoyed the pacing of Inty / Defense etc it's actually fun and quick to progress to higher levels of enemies and rotations
DE - DO NOT REVERT!

Im not sayin "people shouldnt be polite" im sayin "you dont help people expecting them to be polite" and "people is free to choose if they are polite or not". Your argument is the same as the "nice guys" with girls "im beign nice to you why you dont give me what I want? Jeez what a selfish girl she dont love me back despite everyrhing ive done to her". "Im reviving you why you dont give me what i want? Jeez what a selfish tenno se dont type "ty" despite I stoped using my fav weapon for 5 seconds to press X to revive"
Do you see it now? Learn to do the right thing despite the results of your actions, dont expect a prize for anything you do. Its not pointless beign polite, its pointless to stop helping someone in distress because didnt type "ty".
Okay last post for me on this matter as it really has run it's course and arguing why we shouldn't be polite is redunant.
Your various examples portray a social interaction where there is an expectation of reward for every single minute action that was perceived as positive and that's taking things to extreme, I think common sense should apply at somepoint.
I'm saying after numerous selfless actions, it's common decency to your fellow tenno to at least acknowledge it and be grateful. That's just good manners and the sign of good upbringing. "Pay it forward"
If you want to use an example, It's the simple process of holding doors open, sometimes we do it to be polite, sometimes we do it because we can see someone struggling. Sometimes people don't thank us, but we don't let that ruin our entire day or perception of the next person you hold a door open for. It's about integrity, morals and just being a decent human being and more importantly perpetuating the positivity. Toxic communities start from allowing those acidic few to really have their platform.
At no point do you hear people saying "P*** off i can open the door myself numbnuts" lol I mean you might have, but I would say that's the exception, not the rule 🙂
I appreciate ya replies and civility on the discussion it's been interesting at least - take it easy tenno o7 -
I think the "they're a small team" defense is kinda outta the window now...
same with the beta tag

Ive said, again, that i dont expect anything from anyone, if they dont revive me if fall down I have my owns to do it, the thing about "you sre not ibligated to say ty or help" comes in both directions. Irl people will not be sayin "thank you" for everything you do and no one its obligated to do it icydk.
See the point above.
Once again you're simply arguing why someone shouldn't have to be polite, civil, courteous etc
You gotta see it right? Someone holds a door open for you I assume you righteously blow past them all the while chuckling to yourself how you got to squirm out of uttering "thanks"?
It's about basic civility and respect for others - if you think its respectful to ignore people and assume the world is here to service your needs then best of luck with ice skating uphill
But please, keep telling people why it's pointless to be polite in a team game when someone has gone out of their way to help you repeatedly.

I dont expect anything from someone, even irl, I do indeed thanks people but because I like it, not because im obligated or something. In the game if someone falls dowm could be for a ton of reason, im no judge for the lacks of "ty" to appeal my needs. I genuinely hope you have some irl expirience to change your mind tho, because th real world doesnt work as you think
and yet you'd probably be one of the first to complain if the team kept leaving you in a bleedout state. I think it's fair to say most people would wonder what's up if the whole team stopped reviving them and start to take it personally, so where's the line? I'm not judging the reasons why the person went down, I'm just asking that those who are a burden on the team specifically just at least acknowledge it by way of thanks.
Just be polite to your team, they took time away from shooting their favourite gun to stand over you motionless and take a few hits or whatever the least you can do is be jovial and say "cheers bud" anything to show respect / courtesy general humanity to your teammates. My question would be "why wouldn't you? If it's so little hassle to be courteous, what have you got to lose eh!"

why you wouldnt revive someone because they didnt say "ty" wtf, not saying ty isnt bad or rude at all, rude and bad is chosing not helping someone in distress because they didint type ty to appeal your needs

In Sabotage missions majority decides if people look for caches or not.
Background: started a Sabotage mission in one of the emissary derelics. one rushed through, 3 including me were looking for caches. Instead of helping us, the 1 guy wrote something like "ffs, how egoistic are you, if you want to do caches look for a group". I told him to look for a group if he wants to rush, instead of opening a discussion who is egoistic in that situation and thought he might understand what he does.
Received an answer that included the word "moron", ignored that guy and reported him. Anyway if 2 people decide to leave, mission is over after 1 minute.
If you can't take the time to be polite when you're in a bleedout state after the 10th revive, it's on you and let the teambagging commence 😛
Seriously though in this day and age what do manners cost? Nothing, smh trying to justify why going out of your way an unreasonable amount of time and expecting thanks is some how evil.
Keep on going through life expecting people to do things for you with zero grattitude, it'll get you far in life!
Yeah it's a video game and yeah it's a team based game, but if you're in a random mission and blatantly not able to carry ya own weight then either a) be humble / cautious b) be apologetic or at least have some ounce of civility.
-
Pretty much all enemies have armour, it might be small but essentially having CP on will (and this will vary greatly ofc) increase the damage done / speed of kills for the team.
My only gripe is when i accidentally end up in a pug team with the 3 other CP and I'd wished I'd brought viral instead.

I remember the first time I saw one of Octavia's rollerballs. I was...wtf is that?
Honestly I would love a skin that turns it into a disco ball cause Octavia is a Disco Queen (in my loadout anyway)
Can't we have a CL4P-TR4P skin for the rollerball? "Hey wanna hear this new dubstep song i wrote?, WUB WUB WUB WUB...."

I recently played with an Octavia in a defense mission who obviously tried to annoy the crap out of everyone by "composing" the most atrocious, unrhythmical, unmelodical piece of music I have ever heard. It was done on purpose for sure. No one could compose something this bad and think it´s good.
actually that's a min / maxers tune, it's horrendous but it's done for efficiency, just go to options - sound and "mute other players mandachord" to avoid those atonal nightmares.

Elevators: With regards to elevators "Last one in, hits the switch". Sometime it's a stark reminder of peoples selfish nature when 3 people are waiting in an elevator and then the 4th just joins and sits there waiting for someone else to start it...
Revives: Call me abnormal but i expect to be thanked at somepoint for a revive. it takes NO EFFORT to simply type "TY" in the middle of a mission, especially when it's ya 20th revive. TBH if someone is that bad and rude I get to the point where "if you can#'t be bothered, then neither can I" and i'll happily stand over them whilst they take their last digital breaths 😛
Timer: Starting the timer is a reprehensible thing to do, but alas its sometimes no more than the UI lagging client side etc but it DOES normally indicate the same level of "personality" who will be sitting at exit, adamant not to move even if people are going back through the map for an Ayatan etc.
Other players "helping the team": Kuva ext would be a good example - Yes it's an exterminate, yes you're a "Bayblading god"... NO, we don't need you to do the mission for us, and then sit on exit righteously *expecting* others to finish the mission in your stead. We're perfectly capable of doing a level 30 ext mission and we'd like all the exp we can nab!
and this goes for all those players who still haven't worked out what xp share radius is, i don't care how many kills you get, so long as I still get my cut of XP from the button mashing.

Language evolves, and seeing as how there's so many people that pronounce it incorrectly...it's logical that, within the distant future, the word would have shifted in pronunciation if it managed to survive.
Sure it evolves, but you don't just forgoe something because people are too lazy to pronounce it correctly. There is a very specific societal influences in regulating speech and language and how it evolves. Why on earth do we teach languages to kids if it's just totally open to interpretation and just say it how we want? Accents, pronunciation etc are absolutely crucial to ensuring we all understand each other in context and gently ripping away at this like some kinda pronoun debate is actually not a good things for evolution of speech. Much larger broader topic but to say society kowtows to the laziest and sometimes more stupid elements of society is somewhat true which is why we should NEVER accept it.
-
Heaven forbid we should employ logic to anything...
Lets just take words we've all heard before and change their pronunciation "cos reasons"
oh and don't forget to employ the snowflake tactics of belittling the guy, accusing him of being triggered and telling them there are more important issues all the while scoffing at him.
Those who berrated the guy specifically should be ashamed!
The issue is DE have taken a word which already exists and just said to everyone "it's now pronnounced Gauze" which is another common word use in medical circles which already exists.
You can only suspend logic in favour of fantasy for so long and you can only justify idiocy and forum warrior tactics for so long.

yeah but i wanna just get it over with, i wanna play other games right now, like i said im loving the witcher 3 and wanna play that, so i wanna get this over with so i dont have to come back on and slog through it every week until the next nightwave comes out
Then PLAY the other games, instead of looking over your shoulder and trying to change the way a game is currently running because of the OTHER games you'd rather play...
It's okay we'll get the cake and balloons ready for when you return
In all seriousness, i get what OP is saying, but just for once can we say a big phat no to bending over and constantly accommodating to:
a) new players
b) players who actively choose to play other games until they get what they want from WF and therefore have no vested interest in improving the experience for all / longer term players

shame, there was me thinking this would be another "For the people complaining about Ivara Deluxe......
..............I agree, it's blatantly Khora"
But alas not, it's just another person who thinks that saying "if you can't do better just stfu" will make the world a better place.
Makes me think, how many times these people have had this said to them i wonder...?

One question "WHY?"
Hunter recovery and pack leader, you heal your pet, your pet heals you the functionality is already in the game and works universally..
Sorry why do we need another kavat type? More grind, dilution of the drop pool, power creep and cos reasons, right?

Aww if you have an active pet you really wanna get a ball for them, just saying.
If you still have the 200 pearls from the alert it's only a couple of matches more for the cheapest one.
My pet already has plenty of plat spent on her, this is one of those times where you have to be the parent.
"You've got plenty of toys, why do you need a new one when you're not even playing with half of what you have there"
If the kitty thinks she's worth enough for me to waste hours on an incredibly shallow gameplay experience, she doesn't know how many kittys I've flushed out the airlock for lesser offences 😉
Yeah i've been playing since 2013 and I can honestly say this event in particular is a joke for the rewards If you wanna run that mission 100's of times be my guest but just getting the basic reward was a complete chore and all for what? literally a ball, a crap looking insanely expensive, lazily designed ball....
Think about this again, it's not a gun, it's not a toy, it's nothing animated and you're running the mission 20, 30, 40, 50 etc times....
Do y’all remember E-Gate Farming? TBT

and to think, this was considered paultry by Viver standards.
Anyone got a video of that broken mag + trin + nekky combo on the Xini map? Want some nostalgia, we used to pick up approx 2k MODS from 4 rounds of interception you'd run round each wave and the mods wouldn't stop showing up until the end of the following round, peoples PC's completely lagged out with the sheeeeeer volume of mods they were picking up from the mob spawns, they had to nerf mags SP (she was god tier with anything with a sheild drone) the mod spawns which is why we literally now have mods which will despawn / pop together when you hit the cap, and why things like interception spawns and timers were completely overhauled.
Wouldn't have changed it for the world, but alas it was broken as all hell, still....
