Liminal Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Yesterday he showed up in Apollodorus while I was leveling Valkyr (rank14 iirc). Lights flicker: "Better get to extraction". He spawns: I yell "you are not gonna catch me!" as I Rip Line into the air to get some speed. I'm suddenly teleported to him, staggered and slash-dash OHK'd. Wow. Such challenge. I'm aborting now every single mission when the lights flicker. Good job, the Stalker has now officially become "Cryo Leak 2". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFIRE Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 well,my soma,mag prime and "pro" acrobatic abilities killed the U11 stalker 3 times since now, (in private,alone) he was quite always lvl 35-40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shut Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) Seems like he's back to his old, weak self. He attacked a party of mine during a Xini run, and we were all riled up to be fighting the stupidly-overpowered post-U11 one with no real chance of winning. He ragdolled over one of the rails within three seconds of spawning. It's certainly an improvement from the stupidity that we've had to deal with for a week and a bit, but still needs a bunch of tweaks. Anyone know if he still has that stupid "if-you-have-a-Shade-with-you-then-you-are-instantly-dead" ability?

LunariaN- Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 so i guess stalker is working proper way now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwya Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Don't even talk. You wanna know how you fight him without his cheap-&#! bullS#&$? You climb on a @(*()$ crate so his AI takes a massive S#&$ as it cannot handle METAL BAWKSES of all things. If you fight him on the floor, he'll hit you with a 1.2k slash dash or insta-stagger you with his nullifying smokebomb if you have any buff power up and then he'll unload Despairs into you. So it's either fight the five year old with their magical shield of beating everything or beating up a child with special needs, neither feels very rewarding if you come out on top. doesn't he use pull/despair/dread/etc?

jwya Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Safe to say, people use either broken weapons or an VERY particular skill (Frost globe) to kill him. Now he is near impossible without those. Possible yes, but mostly out of reach. doesnt he dispel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsukinoki Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) @SortaRandom I encountered him after the patch yesterday and I can still say that he uses his dispel constantly if you have shade because of how fast shade can re-cloak you. So yes, shade is still a giant "Kill me!" sign that gets you stagger-locked if stalker just happens to show up and you are using it on any frame. I was using shade to get pics of some crawler types in eris when stalker made his appearance. It sucks that using shade could actively hurt you with the stalker's dispel. DE really needs to find a way to fix it so that if you have a shade he dispels on shade, not you, and prevents shade from using cloak for a long time. That way you aren't getting hit by 100 damage from dispel and being constantly staggered as he attacks you with his weapons.

True-0okami Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 It should feel like a duel with a powerful Tenno, not the grim reaper himself coming for your revives. So glad to hear im not the only one who thought that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazorTip Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 So glad to hear im not the only one who thought that way. Same here. But there is a difference between the Stalker and the Grim Reaper....the Grim Reaper is immune to Alt + F4, and the Stalker isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brimir Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I've said it before: >See Stalker >Abandon Mission Unless I've picked up a Rare mod or something - then it is worth the guaranteed loss of a Revive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoeleVeerod Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) Since this thread's last reply is dated today I will post here instead of opening another thread. Today I got a visit from the Stalker, and I was hunting for Vaults in a Derelict ship, with the Gobbled Dragon Key (the one that makes you slower) and a dozen Infested monsters on my tail. Well, guess what, I was amazed to see his new moves and all the like, but the tough guy didn't kill me. Actually, his arrows only took a 200-300 hitpoints from shields/health each, and by the time he was about to kill me I fried him. Even with a freaking Dragon Key in my inventory. I wasn't using a Rhino, but a Volt. I was using chemical lab weapons (Synapse + Djinn's Stinger). My guess is, luring him into mobs should still work, and corrosive damage will be a good idea for when you take his shields down. I still have to understand how did I survive the massive damage storm he is able to dish out now, though - because I did get wiped out once, but that was either with an Ember and underleveled weapons on with a freshly crafted Valkyr, can't remember which one. This time I was with Volt (1110/780). I am holding my judgement on the Stalker until next time, though I'm quite sure he'll be packing a mean punch when he'll pay me another visit.

Nagisawa Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Lolled to last words. And everybody still *@##$ing about Stalker. I mean come on now he is a challenge.

edryuu Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 i will say this...this will upset players on PS4, when they are trying to get the BP which will FORCE them to buy the bundle.....so yeah this is getting out of hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kefaljohn Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 He's supposed to be a figure to be feared,not to be taken lightly. All but the highest ranking of players can fight him now,and maybe that's for the best.. Why? Because instead of a pussy with good theatrics,now he's a figure worthy of "OH S#&$,HE'S HERE" type of reputation he's supposed to be. He's not unbeatable(a high ranked player can beat him),but he's not someone you want to cross on any mission at any point. Yes he might need per user scaling and a drop rate fix,but it's better that what he was before no doubt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine, kill me, I'll just do this mission again, whatever.' There is no threat, no fear, there's boredom and tedium. You either suck up the revive, or you do like I do and forfeit the mission, and go play something else for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, he's still a 'pussy' for spamming the same abilities and one shotting you instead of giving you a fair, well balanced, fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RazorTip Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Like we do to the bosses :P? Except we rely on Energy to use our abilities, and the Stalker doesn't. Once we run out of Energy, we're finished, and the Stalker can cast his abilities endlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganpot Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 More weapons, less fixes. The Hardcore drive this game. They're on the Design Council, even if it's just voting on polls, they decide the route of the game, then there are all these threads that they show up and complain about our complaints, after that is all the 'This game is too easy!' threads. You'd be surprised how little influence the Design Council has. It's mostly just used as a place for DE to give sneak peeks at upcoming changes. Occasionally there will be a poll, or a member of the staff will ask for feedback on a very specific thing. The biggest thing the Design Council has ever decided was the theme of Nova (and indirectly, Nekros). Plus, non-staff aren't allowed to create new threads in Design Council, which means we couldn't demand certain changes even if we wanted to. Additionally, plenty of Masters and Grand Masters have tried raising awareness of the terrible new-player experience. Everything else is up to DE.
