SleekGranpa Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I really like Helios. I bought the bundle as well and don't regret it at all. I would however like it if he attacked consistently,which he doesn't. I am assuming it's a bug, because sometimes he doesn't even attack when I'm face to face with people. Lol.

Bobsplosion Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Have yet to feel any regret over anything plat related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithf Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Some random thoughts: 1. I think Helios will be ... updated, if it does not perform on par with the others. So there is still room for potential value "growth". 2. Use Loki and take a leisure stroll while invisible, relax the mind and the long time it takes to scan will flow past like the light breeze. I've never been able to use codex scanning satisfactorily with anything but Loki. It may be that Helios is a Loki-only/inclined pet... 3. People who buys new stuff with plats gets to test them first and create feedback so that by the time those who chose to farm/research/farm/build the thing from scratch, things may already be improved (thanks to the pioneers!) 4. Codex scanners "ammo" need to be bought in greater amount. x25 per purchase is not enough. Make it like 1000 per purchase (at the same unit cost). Bonus if it comes in even bigger packages like 5000 or 10,000. Hell, why not make it unlimited? 5. The interface/method to do codex scans is really, really bad (esp the fact that it has to swap primary/secondary weapon out). Helios could be the temporary workaround for this, but ultimately, we may just need this (manual scan) to be fixed. 6. Wouldn't it be nice if one day sentinels can share their special power as well? E.g. a codex scanning, loot vacuuming Wyrm. well someday maybe... 7. Spending plats on "early access" to new stuff isn't a "waste". Just differences in priority. People have done more "foolish" stuff. (There was a time when I spent plats on a mod bundle which could be easily farmed from missions.... ah... I was so young). I personally find that the first immortal skin bundle was the purchase I like most... hopefully there will be a second bundle once enough frames/immortal skins are released.

--collstro-- Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 and all i get is people snickering at the fact i spent platinum on this pile of crap Look at it this way. The accessories look good on other sentinels and by buying him with plat you get to level him up and throw him away 4 day sooner than everyone else, which means you won't have to play this POS for at least another 10 days if you want to keep current.

--collstro-- Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 the attack speed sux. if it werent, ill be glad with the weapon atleast Attack speed sucks, scan speed sucks, but hey.....at least you can't equip the weapon on any other sentinel. Well played DE. We'd rather level up trash weapons than trash sentinels. Weapons go faster, which means less time playing this POS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royce_Bracket Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I don't get why so many people are hating on the Helios. Ever since I bought it last night, my Shade and Dethcube have been looking all sad like at the bottom of my garbage bin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SALE94 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) You should espected that he is bugged and bad from stories, thats all. + Fool move (sorry but it is) you could made it in dojo. So rushed buy, luckster product. Edited March 21, 2014 by SALE94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3ST Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 You saved like 90 plat buying him though. You have a new set of accessories, two new sent. slots, sent and weapon are both potatoed. When the hotfix to fix his bugginess comes out ill be happy. For now, he can float, waste my scans, and give me mastery Lol,.. like the hotfix to fix Carriers Vacuum you mean,? Yea, good luck with that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASH_PRIME Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Question : does the Web Cam [helios] Cosmetic pack work on all the other sentinels too?!Self Answer : I guess it MUST huh it has for all the other packs..Anyway... have a LITTLE faith, im betting poor Web Cammy will get a buff sometime soon just like Djinn... wait wat?! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorCensored Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Djinn is actually really useful if you run a tanking frame and want to draw aggro and the other players are stealth or glass frames. But, I also don't have everything forma'd 6 times and loaded with potatoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ServareVitas Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I'll get him by building him slowly, I won't rush.... It'll be for the pure novelty just like bows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolidSp33d Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Your fault for not doing research. Also just wait for him to have his bugs fixed, and for buffs. There is a magical thing called balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienOvermind Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) Okay, I know, that Helios is not the best right now. But. That 100p deal is really good, so you shouldn't regret it too much. You know, for that 100p you'll get: reactor for sentinel (20p), catalyst for it's miter (20p), two slots in inventory (12p), cosmetics (30p mask + 15p wings + 15 tail) and the sentinel itself. So, I do not like Helios too, but I dont have a feeling that just I trashed my 100p. Edited March 22, 2014 by AlienOvermind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nefrai Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I'll get him by building him slowly, I won't rush.... It'll be for the pure novelty just like bows. You consider bows novelty? I love my Dread...it tears stuff apart and is fun, especially for solo mission (any slow gun can be annoying in groups of people rushing/4th spamming of course). As for the Sentinel, I honestly felt like they are all little more than just pets anyway, I use carrier because of the vacuum. Otherwise, I just dressed up Deathcube to look like a bumblebee, and took his gun away from him. I bought this one because I didn't feel like building him and I want the xp, also might have some use from the scanner. I've never been really into the sentinels in general - I like the idea because it reminds me of the Mags from PSO, but sadly the sentinels aren't as fun as the Mags were, for me.

ServareVitas Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Have you even used a bow since the buff? They're very powerful but they're still considerably less accurate than rifles and not to mention far slower when it comes to target acquisition. They're a novelty unfortunately. I do own a Paris and a Dread. They're fun to use but not the kind of thing I would bring to an extended firefight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H0PE Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 and all i get is people snickering at the fact i spent platinum on this pile of crap Yes you did, hope you learned your lesson. Use dojo or buy for credit if not that important to buy for plat. my 2cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
