  1. I understand how Random number generators work but this is starting to defy the laws of probability,  when is the last time anyone tossed a quarter in the air and had it come up heads 200 times in a row? Granted I know that is not a fair statement since it's a 50% chance each time you toss it, and we are talking about a much lower percent chance. I would just think they would have maybe thought about that. You would think that if the same four guys all start with marks on them and have killed thousands of Grineer they may be stepped up on the hit list as a priority target or something.

     

    It's been a solid week and more than 100 runs helping corpus and not a Grustag in sight for any of us. I used to see them at least once a day sometimes 2-3 times a day. None of us have gotten fresh marks in that week either. No but really... I should be on the most wanted list or something by now. I almost regularly have a stalker on me 3 times or more a day, doesn't he have less of a chance to show than Grustag?

     

    No but seriously if the Grustag were family I would have already called the police long ago... I'm worried about them! I did smack them around rather hard the last time I saw them, and would hate to think maybe they didn't pull through. I'm sorry Grustag... R.I.P.

  2. Has anyone noticed the Grustag being MIA? My clans been farming them for a good two weeks and sometime last week they just up and decided to never show their faces again. Countless runs No Grustag, No new marks mail, nothing. Plenty of stalkers, even a few Zanuka during a couple of event runs, but no Grustag. I've lost track of how many invasions I have been on killing Grineer.

     

    Where did the Three Stooges go?

     

    Not sure if I should have put this in bugs or what. Never been so long without seeing them even once.

  3. This would force people with poor connections to play ''dead'' missions solo, since they would be unable to sit in the lobby until somebody joins them.

     

    You can always change your own ping setting in the options to minimize the chance of joining a bad host. Also, make sure your region is correct in the options.

    It should not have any affect on someone sitting in a lobby. It should how ever when loading the mission dictate who ends up host. I already have my ping setting rather low, but considering ping does not equate to good host. How is that helping? 

     

    This is not rocket science yet somehow the guy with low ping, and  10Mbit up 100Mbit down, and a machine that could host 20, has to deal  with hosts that should not be hosting at all. Silly! It would improve the quality of game for everyone including those that simply should not be hosting.

  4. So recently, I have been doing Pugs more than normal, and have noticed a lot of real bad hosts.

     

    Until such time as a better solution can be found. Could we please get some kind of Hosting toggle. You know a setting where I can say yes I can host, or no never make me host(default it to never host!)

     

    This would at least up the chance I end up hosting, or that some really bad host doesn't.

  5. loki dual ichors 236c I know I can get that number lower just soon as I can come up with a few non-ranked extra copies of a few key mods. I'm certain I could get it down to 160-70 fairly easy.  I could go much lower using Valkyr but it would seem like cheating.

     

    This is interesting though! I am being limited by a lack of non ranked mods, who would have thought?

  6. This person likely did a defense-type missions. Yeah, when there are a tremendous amount of enemies coming at you and your 3 buds are all nuking as well ammo is easy to come by. I did a T4 Int with no ammo mutator by mistake with a Penta and i ran out of ammo once.

     

    That's cool but that's not what the whole game is about.  There are times when there are less enemies, they are not running at you, and you are not with other people so you can end up in messed up situations. I did a T3 solo with the torid and RNG wasnt with me and i got like 4 clips total, and one of them came after the last mob was killed. I had to run with my run for most of the mission.

    I'm actually a bit anal-retentive  when it comes to testing changes. Testing for me means running every mission type many times solo against all three corpus, grineer, infested. First at low level like venus, then on pluto, then in the void usually t3 or t4. only after that is done do I do a couple runs of each with a random group. This is why I have so far only spoken about the Angstrum. I've not had the time to fully test all the other changes like penta, ogris, castanas, etc. etc. I will eventually get around to them all.

     

    I will say the Vectis changes while nice, are a bit lack luster, and do not give me good enough reason to consider taking it over my bow. I just feel like at least one sniper rifle in the game should be on par with paris prime, so which you take boils down to which you like more, sniper rifles, or bow, and currently that is not the case. Maybe Vectis Prime? Come on DE give me a reason to level a vectis 4-6 more times.

  7. Admit it, you never touched the Angstrum or charged it much. People like to talk out their @$$(saying the same crap you do) when it comes to the Angstrum. I'd like to see a video of someone using that thing w/o Aura and charge it often as well, that is the whole point of it, multi rocket shots is the point of this thing and  more adding more rounds is why people charge it. It's where the real fun is at.

     

    But I guess you'll say don't charge it unless swarmed. Where is the fun in that?

     

    After all, that is what the complaints on this gun is about, the inability to charge it much w/o running out too fast.

    I've used nearly every build imaginable on the Angstrum. From a 7 mag 85k build, a 6 mag 73k build, a few different 5 mag 60k-66k builds, down to 4 and 3 mag builds.  So to wrap things up I have no ammo problems. Even without aura or mutation!

     

    You know what the real difference between a 7 mag build and a 4-5 mag build are? NONE! Everything still dies!

     

    ps to avoid confusion those are multi-shot charged calculations but then other Angstrum users will know that.

  8. So when can I expect compensation for the Forma and the Potato for my Angstrum? It's basically unusable now.

    I have been using my Angstrum a lot since the change. Even without a Scavenger Aura or Vectis w/Mutation I do not have any ammo issues that make it unusable. The shared pool with sniper and bows that lowers sniper bow ammo as well needs a fix, but even that is manageable problem, heck using a vectis w/ mutation on it makes the problem a boon, because it'll feed the Angstrum spam.

     

    I'm finding that all the, " Nerf is to harsh" comments are highly over exaggerated.

  9. I understand people feeling at a loss, but they did join late. Do people quit their jobs because they get hired in an were not present when company was promoting from within??? Do athletes complain and quit because they didn't get the championship ring/trophy from a time they were not there as part of the team???

    People will stay to not miss out on future items and because they enjoy playing. If they are going to leave because they no longer have access to an Arcane/Specialty item, then we probably do not need that type of player base for this game. - That sense of entitlement......ugh

    That last paragraph is going to get me in trouble.

     

    I'm going to disagree on principal. I want and need the new and f2p players in this community. I can't do it.. I can not stand up on a soapbox silver spoon in hand, surrounded by arcane and special items, look them in the eye and honestly tell them I am entitled because I was here first or have money. This is a game. Everyone should be able to obtain anything in the game with effort, regardless of social status, wealth, looks, education, iq, etc. I will not be the hypocrite. That kind of thinking is the exact reason I dislike the f2p model. I can afford to drop plenty of cash on gaming, and it should not entitle me to anything.

     

    I'm not sure what disgusts me more. The gaming companies that opened Pandora's box and brought monetary worth into gaming, or my peers who think they are special because they have money. They are both wrong, and it's exactly what is tearing apart gaming communities. When will the madness stop? Can not we just revisit yesteryear and come together for the sake of better gaming?

     

    I heavily edited this post, and apologize if anyone finds the edited version offensive, I really tried to keep on topic and civil. I've just seen way to many games with potential destroyed over this very thing, and it's almost getting old as I.

     

    I'm more sad because it stopped being about the Games and Camaraderie. At some point it turned into whom has the most money, whose nose can I rub in the dirt with something I have they can't get.  When the people around you are more savage than animals, you must rethink faith in humanity.

  10. Nox,

     

     

    I think the main problem most have, is they are tied to cosmetics. I don't really like the cosmetic of the three I use most of the time but I deal with cause they are to good not to use.

     

    The simple way to fix this would be release control module with all the arcane stat modifier options, then you can build them, and attach them to whatever look floats your boat. This would add build diversity and make arcane helmets obsolete. I know I for one would love to have my vanguard stats on a Thrak. I'd also probabaly put my Squall stats on either the prime helmet or an Aurora, and put my essence stats on the loki prime helm. Simply cause I like those cosmetics better, sad to say currently I just deal with it. 

  11. These items are optional. They offer more diversity, but they certainly are not required.

    With the same skill, people with the helms will last just as long without the helms. So no, it wouldn't be P2W. In all regards, these helms can not be considered P2W the same as how Excal P isn't, as he doesn't exactly give you any advantage.

    (Do not start a founder's derailment, I will delete it. It is meant as an example)

    I hate P2W discussions, but technically since the only way to get an arcane helmet currently requires buying it with plat. It could easily be seen as such. Some of them are a distinct advantage(not a side grade), especially for a min/maxer.  Three of my arcane helmets I would cringe if I lost, cause they are just that good.

     

    As for Excalibur Prime... How is an extra polarity(less forma needed), a damage polarity aura slot, higher shield recharge than the normal model, and 250 energy to all frames within 30 meters when stepping next to an Orokin Void box trap not an advantage?

  12. He apparently did  not see the new synergy the combo has when using Sniper rifles.   Sniper rifle w/ mutation + Angstrum or Castana moddded for full dmg + Sniper Scav aura (Just to be more absurd)= Infinite Angstrum or castana ammo with no draw back on the two weapons at  all.

     

    Yup you can literally feed your spamtastic Angstrum game play, by bringing a sniper rifle with the mutation on it, adding the aura just makes it stupid silly.
