So What Are The Benefits For Playing/completing Missions In Badlands?

[Guest khk6]

Im not talking about the clan vs clan part, but the node itself that clans are going to compete for.

If i recall it was talked about in devstream as a map with ''more rare resource'' and ''tougher enemies''.

Personally, Im hoping that void keys are obtainable in badlands...its nice to have other ways to farm void keys besides the same old survival or defence.

Triple the amount of salvage.

It's all about that sweet sweet rubedo.

[xGryphus]

And Plastids. But seriously - wait and see - can't say anything about it until it's released (hopefully that means next Wednesday).

[Morgax]

I have feeling that they will hide there the waterframe.

 

Also what is stopping alliances to agree on high taxes? I think there should be a limit.

A potential mission on one of these nodes:

The entire level in the mission that takes place on a "Badlands" node is constructed entirely of nanospores. 

The enemies are nanospore blobs. 

All loot are nanospores. 

The drop table for all enemies are nanospores. 

Your end missions rewards are nanospores.

In fact, if there was a boss on a node, it would be nothing but a disgusting physical mass that looms over you Shadow of the Colossus style. 

It will be named "The Spore".

It drops Primed Chamber.

 

All the nanospores! :D http://tinyurl.com/2g9mqh

P.S. Towards the Void key idea... (Potential t4 key drop locations... COUGH**)

Also yes they did say that they were thinking about t4 keys in a previous stream. Unsure which one but it was before the one yesterday i believe.

I hope that i can finally breach the 10k mark on oxium ^___^

FML... all i wanted was a bird girl... now i'm in love with ospreys....

I can't wait to play same missions in same tilesets.

Me either. Or gather tons of sweet resources to spend on.......

[Muminidas]

In my opinion "Badlands" are released with U13 'coz devs were not sure how to finalize this feature....

 

Give it to players, let them play through it for a month or two, gather feedback, make changes to release IT'S FINAL FORM! HAHA!

 

Seriously, they could do "Badlands" so much better than it seems to be. Personally, the parts I love are: the fact that we get special Orokin Lab for this with possibility to open shutters and watch whole solar rail construction site(it was just WOW! moment during last stream), the fact alliances can compete for the ownership of each node(lil'piece of space^^), the fact that some politics are coming into the game.

 

Things I dislike till now: the fact we are going to fight orokin defenders(wtf? since when we get a help for Neural Sentry- lore wise?), the fact that normal Badlands missions seem to be just normal missions with higher resource rewards. 

 

Maybe I will be surprised, maybe devs have something amaizing hidden there, maybe Solar Rail tower is a new, original Tenno based tileset with some original AI defenders based on Orokin robotics, maybe badlands will have fantastic maps with &#!-kicking environmental hazards.... who knows. 

 

Whenever I hear from devs that "Badlands" are about rarer enemies and more resources I am all alike : "meh! I don't need that shiat."

3 times the nanospores.

[WhisperByte]

The way I see it ALL the future content crafting prices will be balanced around the idea that everyone is running Badlands so those who refuse to participate will have to farm in regular content till their eyes bleed while the rest of players will be getting resources in the Badlands at a reasonable pace. There's probably gonna be some special resources hidden in Badlands as well (Actuators?).

 

So your benefits will be less grind

I hope to find something NEW.

 

Because if you lock nodes behind a solar rail and clan wars, I don't see the point if you can loot exactly the same things, even if it's in larger quantity.

[Ritchel]

NEURAL SENSUALS & NANO SPORTS

[GreyEnneract]

The devs said more resources, both rare and common;

And also resources that can only be found there.

Uhm so is badlands coming out with u13?

[Evanescent]

Rhino prime and Loki prime teamed together as boss with Excal Prime radial-blinding :D

[Blatantfool]

Rumor has it that Badlands territory will have better loot.

[Dalu__Ka]

Didn't they say something about special mods and cosmetics?

 I don't know about the cosmetics, but I'd be willing to bet that the Stance mods will be available in Badlands.

 

 I've heard nothing about any cosmetics.

[Nasira]

I hope they have resource sinks coming in or coming soon.

[11.11.11]

I hope for something that expands upon gameplay. Even just a little. 

[AuroraSonicBoom]

All they've said is better drop rates on existing resources, and more importantly no exclusive rewards. That about it.

In short, no reason to play them all unless they are contested. Even that will be old fast.
