shut Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) Apologies if this thread has already appeared recently.Why is it that so much of the community has such a passionate hatred for "Raid"-type missions? I mean, I get it that you can easily Zorencopter through room after room, grab object, and fly away happily with your credits, but really, isn't that kinda what you do with Sabotage missions (except it takes 20-30 seconds longer than a Raid mission) and Spy/Deception missions (except they take maybe a minute longer for a master Zorencopterer)? If rushing is so much of an issue, then why band-aid the problem by taking away what is only slightly the most rush-able mission mode rather than finding a way to fix the rushing issue entirely?Is there something I'm not seeing here?

Blatantfool Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Oh boy, you're in luck! Those missions are gonna get removed soon and replaced with a new mission type: Survival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm aware of the "Raid" getting removed. By "those missions", you mean Spy, Sabotage, Deception, etc are getting swapped out with Survival too? 'Cause that'd be... awfully lame.

AlchemistMute Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I don't like Survival either. Okay, well you're one person of 3 million people that generally like the survival mode. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raid mission will all turn into Survival missions or something like that. Some of the other mission types are getting overhauled to be a little more involved/interesting though.

Sixty5 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I liked raid, simple missions that allow for easy farming of resources. Oh well, mining equipment sabotage spawns more enemies anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W4RM4CHIN3 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I don't like Survival either. I waited a long time for this mode, what disappoints me is the maps are not made for this game type. I would have rather a maze of sort, you run around shooting and trying to find the exit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixty5 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Survival is pretty simple too and as far as I can tell tends to be much more resource heavy. Mmn, though survival plays more like defense than I'd like a farming mission to be. Besides I need a mission type that gets me to play all of the normal tilesets more.

shut Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 I don't really understand, though. If the other Rushable missions are getting overhauled to be more interesting and such, why is Raid getting removed entirely? Why couldn't Raid be overhauled as well?

If the other Rushable missions are getting overhauled to be more interesting and such, why is Raid getting removed entirely? Why couldn't Raid be overhauled as well? They are going to replace Raid with survival because they thought that raid is to similar to capture but the only differance is that in one of the you capture a corpus and in the other you take a artifact/mod or whatever, so thats why they are changing raid into survival. I think they said it in a livestream but i can't remember which one though Edited September 2, 2013 by Starmachine24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangeless Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Have you guys played survival? After 20 minutes, you can actually die if you don't pace yourself because there is no pod to act as a decoy. Now that is thrilling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixty5 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Yeah. Maybe one of the other mission revamps will hit that note for you. Until then I'll just stay at mining equip sabotage. I do love survival though, especially against the infested, much more fun than camping the pod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodCarnival Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Oh boy, you're in luck! Those missions are gonna get removed soon and replaced with a new mission type: Survival. With the removal of raid missions, does that mean that Void raids missions are going to get removed too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixty5 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 With the removal of raid missions, does that mean that Void raids missions are going to get removed too? Void raids will become void survival IIRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merryfistmas Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I don't think issue was rushing, it was that a lot of the mission types were too similar so they're reworking them, started with raid, and in the meantime it's getting replaced by survival.

Noogums Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 One thing I have to say about Survival is that I really thought it'd use normal tilesets.. Would give much more of a "Hunted" feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BETAOPTICS Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Why remove raids honestly? Why not to keep both. I don't get why people hate the mode when it gives a guaranteed extra mod. Then again, I don't really care what mission type it is, I like variation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
