zumbledum Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 so we just have to hope the game bothers to spawn enough enemies with enough lucky drop rolls for 20 minutes? yeah not sure if you have a QA team but some people might be cashing checks they are not earning. im gonna be skipping this one.

FrostWolf Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) Yeah the enemies aren't the issue The Oxygen drops are, there is very little you can do to replenish you life support bar and it ticks away so face that unless you get a cluster of them getting one does nothing but stall it for all of two seconds. The enemies are more restrained then Defense/ Mdef. For a mode where the enemies are trying to overwhelm you... ehh Edited August 30, 2013 by FrostWolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katakuna Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Indeed, there is no "survival" to this. You're either lucky, or you're not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychedelicSnake Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) Kill fast, kill frequently. I've had personally had no problems as long as I did this. Edited August 30, 2013 by PsychedelicSnake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrRandom7 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 You're not meant to survive the 20 minutes flat out though, you do it in several survivals, hence the mission complete when you run out regardless of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neKroMancer Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I find this mode pretty much promote Nova/Saryn combo but it's more entertaining compared to Endless defense. i think Survival's core design is to counterbalance Endless defense mode. One defense oriented, one offensive oriented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JessicaAlba Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 PsychedelicSnake, on 30 Aug 2013 - 1:00 PM, said: Kill fast, kill frequently. I've had personally had no problems as long as I did this. Had a full group of experienced players and we got to 13 minutes and then 10minutes the second time, 2 novas a saryn and rhino, so no problems killing fast. It's all luck for the oxygen drops not to mention the slow spawn rate, it couldn't keep up with how fast we were killing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zumbledum Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 Bitter AND jumping to conclusions? Why are you still playing this game at all? disappointed after trying it out actually. and im not anymore or this weekend anyway. and as for the kill fast thats great if teh game spawns mobs , which appears to be luck based as the last game where we had a clear 30 second gap of nothing to kill that ended up loosing us the game goes to show.

---ExcaliburPrime--- Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Kill fast, kill frequently. I've had personally had no problems as long as I did this. expect fot he fact that killing them frequently inst the problem. Decoy+torid=cake Made it to 13 min solo and the only reason I lost was because not enough oxygen was dropping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultramar Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Ugh, I'm sorry ? The survive part is obviously there, since without getting the oxygen you die. Roam around the map, check spawn points, don't just stand still in the middle waiting for a pack of 20 enemies to go to you right of the bat. If there wasn't this oxygen condition people would just go to some place unreachable for enemies and they'd get the 20 minutes without any effort so... You'll have to adjust and try harder.

We were spread out, killing mobs and gathering oxygen as soon as they dropped, but 11 minutes down the line RNG condemned us and we ran out because they simply didn't drop fast or often enough. Luck-based survival, does not a good survival mode make. Edited August 30, 2013 by Katakuna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noname4me Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 lol this event is just $&*&*#(%&, event based on RNG is dumb no matter what frame you playing unless you are lucky and RNG drops enough oxygen you are screwed tried 4 times so far there is nothing that could dmg me, everything dies seconds after its spawned even tried not to open the tanks Lotus drops and wait till last seconds,doesn't matter... there is no tactics its pure RNG just a crap GL everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Explain how in solo I can get to 13 minutes but in a team of 4 all spread out we barely get past 7 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bantamu Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Honestly, I can clear 4 waves of mobs and get 1 O2 pack total, Which bumps up the life support like 4%. When we sat still for 2 minutes at a time without a single enemy spawning, I knew it was nothing but luck. Every team composition out there doesn't change a thing, as getting to 10 minutes seems to be impossible without the luck of a god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DresiK. Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) all i can tell : rage incoming 20mins is too much for some people (i did 17,50 by 1 try ^.-) but stil.. its a Random Event... Win ? luck ? Edited August 30, 2013 by jimomateusz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qynchou Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) Went solo with a rhino. 15 minutes 38 seconds. From minute 8 to minute 15 I didnt get a single lotus supply. Gj DE. p.s This survival has less mobs spawning than solo kappa. Edited August 30, 2013 by Qynchou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namacyst Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 We 3 ppl stopped the first try we did after 21 minutes to secure the Rewards... was no problem at all.. when we let oxygen run out we had like 30 tanks lying around. Don't see the problem. Worked well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultramar Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Can't explain. The luck part is obviously there, but I think it's wrong to say that this isn't a survival mode. I only got 16:38 so far, solo, and the other runs were even lower. Like I said, let's just keep trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much I made 12 minutes solo and only lost due to three or four waves not dropping any oxygen tanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
