(PSN)robotwars7 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I figured it would be the other way around, as not everybody likes railjack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but it apparently pays way better, so whether they like it or not, that's where they're going to flock. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numerikuu Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Both need to be equal in pay, otherwise all it's going to do is encourage everyone to flock to the mode that pays the most. Once again an event was poorly thought out. Shocker 😪 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

o0Despair0o Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Well, I tried both. And I won't touch either part again because this grind is ridiculous. I'd need to grind for 2 weeks to get anything remotely useful. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Eluminary Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 the first 8 hrs it was all ground and almost noone in space. Ground rewards are slower 'in optimal conditions than space is in optimal conditions. Space can still be slower though if noone is doing ground missions at all.

0_The_F00l Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) I would like to add my voice to this , I feel this was poorly thought out (its DE so i am not surprised - they never did plan things too well) Firstly i tried o form a squad with friends and for some werid ass reason i cant invite them if they are in different instances of the flotilla. And i cant invite them in a live mission cause the flotillas fill up quickly. the closest i could get was to have host join a flotilla and then invite the friends in the squad - this worked most of the times. Then when we go to a space mission we are just waiting there for 20 minutes. just looking at each other mugs while fending of a beacon with health from sentients. And i noticed i keep getting the codes from the same squads repeatedly - as if they form a fixed link with us. so if i am paired witha squad that doesnt know what its doing my uber efficient setup of friends is just waiting tens of minutes between codes. So much frustration , If they wanted us to co operate they should not have made us so dependent on each other , it just makes me angry that i have to depend on the competence of other players to be effective. I feel like i have to depend on a lame person to carry me. Extremely annoyed. And compare that with the ground mission , no dependency but also lesser rewards - this is not balanced , its botched. Needs equal incentive between the missions which is missing. I am not even going to talk about the bugs as they are their own problem.

vegetosayajin Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I play only ground, mostly do it solo or with one more person if he joins. pubs are scarce on the ground ;/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if whoever designed this travesty of a game mode was high off their tits, but I don't discount that possibility. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday was 90% of everyone was on ground. Today my first wave everyone was in space so I went ground I expected this to continue all day then the next wave 3 space squads and 12 ground again so back to space. I think overall space will get over crowded, especially as the youtubers start putting videos out on it. but Ive almost got enough pts already for both weapons and thats all I want for now so about done anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvelous_A Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Space mission actually has very little to do with RJ. It's just a glorified AW which itself in turn is just a glorified taxi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teliko_Freedman Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I parked my Railjack inside the enemy ship, and left the Particle ram facing outwards. Then I went inside and defended my single oplink by myself 9 times. Honestly I think a regular Mobile defense might've been more challenging. My Railjack was only taking taking shield damage, at best. Otherwise was unharmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTheDragon Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 It's not that people are not doing ground missions. Flotillas can get bugged. I don't know if it's on every instance but my team and I did 3x17 back to back, there was always space teams and they never got the codes. Like 1 murex driven away every 30 mins... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusher4881 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 The idea is that people don't like playing railjack and/or don't have strong-enough railjacks and thus would want to play ground. I think the event's even balanced around having more ground teams than space teams at any time. The thing is, players want to play the mission type that gives the most points, even if it's not a mission type they like playing. And murex raids are only about 10% railjack anyways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Methanoid Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) For the first time ever, if only DE hadnt excluded a portion of players from the operation that could have assisted at least with the ground element, but oh well.

Maybe DE thought "I want to promote more Railjack mission so i reward more from the space one, but at the same time i give lesser reward to ground but its the most crucial factor of the event... ." So, the ground one are slave workers, then... . 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackHargreav Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Interestingly I always see more ground squads being active than Rj squads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
