(PSN)AbBaNdOn_ Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 4 random people jump into any iteration of Sabotage. Most of the squad is killing and advancing the objective and yay they sabotage the whatever... Now the squad is given 5 minutes to get to the exit. 3 of the people in the squad are standing at extraction watching the timer tick down while some ___________________________ stands around doing nothing way back at the beginning of the level.... Why should the entire squad fail the mission, have their real life time wasted, lose out on all the loot and affinity they earned because ONE guy is a ________________________-_________!!!!______ Please explain that ???????

Keiyadan Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 well 5 mins are long to get to the exit trigger the countdown and still complete the mission but well it is just most likely the player is one of many afk players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIREEK Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 A 5 min timer is actually a 4 min timer, you have to consider the worst case scenario, which is waiting 1 full min at extraction while someone is doing other things, namely finding ayatan statues, looting, entering the granum void, finding caches, releasing prisioners,...... Lesson learned i guess. Yes, ALL members in that squad have to do things a bit faster. To prevent those issues some sabotages allow for flexibility, you can defend and even go straight to extraction (magnetic hazard) depending on how the sabotage is organized, however this requires speed, practice and you need to anticipate players moves, this is considered to be advanced gameplay, but in short, if you know what the team struggles with (speed or defense), you can trigger something that will give you better chances. If you are on steelpath, trigering magnetic or fire is recomended If you are on normal gameplay but the team is slow, then trigger ice or magnetic hazard, simply pick up the fuel container before anyone else (recomended to be the host) I do note that it takes over 100 games or 300 players to find a single one that upon magentic hazard they will go straight to extraction (0,3% chance), so a full squad doing it in a random game is something you will never see.

trst Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 It works like that because the extraction timer is one minute long and you're given five minutes to extract. Sure it would be a nice failsafe for it to pause the mission fail timer but at the same time it shouldn't be taking two of four players over 4 minutes to get to extraction.

KIREEK Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Magnetic hazard has no defense, extraction is available right from the start, if you can find it. Defense is also more profitable, altough risky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)robotwars7 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 sounds like another classic case of PUG games not going your way. I will admit that out of all the mission types, the one least favorable for exploring is Sabotage because of the time limit before you fail. it makes sense: you can't beat the tar our of a Nuclear reactor and not expect to initiate a catastrophic meltdown, but yes, sometimes - especially with newer players - you can be left waiting. personally I use fire method when I need the mission done quick, Ice method if I'm levelling and need the affinity, and only use Magnetic on Corpus Ship tilesets (because it's cool when the ship goes totally dark!), though the Magnetic Method can be quick too. it all boils down to how well you know the game mode, and if you get paired with people that don't know it, problems like this can arise.

(PSN)zj0ker20 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 You could just run Sabotage missions solo. I feel like that would fix quite a few of your problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah ok, your post read seemed to come across when the objective was destroyed that 3 players got to extraction watching the timer countdown, if the 3 got there with very little left then that like mentioned already pub servers. Probably why I play solo, or when playing with clanmates I let them know in discord to hurry the fk up, they know I'm a grumpy old pric lol.

Like everyone wants to be drug down by a timed defense. Ugh. So you advocate murdering people and you think you are the one on the 'right' side of the argument? How are you not banned for advocating murder? Where are the Moderators here? How is this considered acceptable by posters here? What is wrong with people that they think murdering random humans that won't play a game they way they prefer is 'right'? WTH? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're just wasting my time. You get rewards by completing missions or killing enemies, the ideal scenario is by doing both. If you're in a position where the mission will not end due to your actions (mobile defense, survival,.....) then killing will be a profitable scenario. In the ice defense, you simply kill more enemies so that they drop more mods, more endo and more resources, if you don't do that and just stall enemies then yes defending is a waste, you want to minimize that ammount of time you stay idle not doing anything. If you ignore enemies and don't do anything in the defense, then the mission will be lackluster. I understand it may not seem that way, but after 200 sabotages things will add up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case... The real problem is not with Sabotage... It's with how Extraction (and Match Making) works....

Normally I don't have have to initiate Defense.... Thanks to Rudy I could mostly found atleast the first 2 Cache Lockers before arriving at the Core.... However if I some how make it there before finding anything I slip in the wrong Core to buy myself time to find the lockers.... Meanwhile I play Dumb and pretend like I also don't know who slipped in the wrong Core.... 😈 !!! That doesn't make me a bad person.... I'm a good boy... I swear 😁 !!!
