NitroESB Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) Why is it so useless.... I read thread after thread after thread about the community complaining on how much it sucks.... WELL I just got it today and it does suck... a huge buff is needed, it scans slower then the codex scanner.... I don't understand how S#&$ty a sentinel can be. For it to be in any way successful it would have to literally insta scan... While you are running through stages and how fast monsters die to it and other players.... It usesless. You have to literally Rhino stomp or Vauben ballistic to get any type of scanning done, and even that it takes SO long to scan just ONE monster/object..... It's pointless really, it takes so long to scan one person the stomp and ballistic ends and you have to redue it to scan ONE more.... It needs to scan faster and have a longer range..... I have mine maxed and it's awful. This Sentinel has so many things that can be done to it to make it great.... honestly it should insta scan crap because we obviously took the time/spent the plat to get all the items to make it.... Why would it suck more then just a regular codex scanner and it does, it's faster to equip a scanner then scan then switch back to weapon... SO MUCH easier and faster then Helios... and to why we get no reply on them hot fixing it, sucks. They put feedback on everything else like the problem with rolling every time you jumped they hot fixed it, why not hot fix helios and make him useful, instead people are ranking him to 30 and putting him away because he isn't useful and doesn't scan anything at all unless you stand next to the object for 20 seconds for it to scan it.... that takes so much longer. A reply would be wonderful on this situation. Fix Him- Make him scan stuff faster and have a larger distance.. His weapon work better and keep him from scanning maxed stuff in your codex that you already completed@!! Edit - May 2nd - So they fixed the scanning stuff you already have maxed.... but why haven't the scan rate been fixed yet. It is STILL HORRIBLE Edited May 2, 2014 by NitroESB
IronRushBR Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 OMG... I made my Helios yesterday and all I can say, this sentinel sucks VERY HARD. I was trying to scan in survival mission. I weren't killing things, just waiting Helios to scan. In 10 minutes of mission, just 4 scans! LOL! Many enemies I had not in my codex and only 4 scans! For sure this sentinel is broken right now. Huge resources are needed to build it and is broken. Very nice!
Ritchel Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 they left it there broken. now you just picked up a trash m8
IronRushBR Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 I really can't understand that behavior from DE. We have few sentinels in the game. Two of them are useless and broken. Djinn and Helios (and both need tons of resources to build). And they do nothing about sentinels to make them good. Djinn ability is trash too.
DemiDeus Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Djinn ability needs to affect more then one enemy and Helios needs an instant scan THEN cool down.
IronRushBR Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 I don't know if people discussed this enough. But that is bad.
WetAedeagus Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 You'll do more damage throwing Helios at the enemy than using it.
IronRushBR Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) You'll do more damage throwing Helios at the enemy than using it. Humm.... really? I don't think s-h-i-t hurts. Edited April 28, 2014 by IronRushBR
IronRushBR Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 I was doing more tests here and OMG. I can't believe they tested it.
NitroESB Posted April 28, 2014 Author Posted April 28, 2014 I was doing more tests here and OMG. I can't believe they tested it. It's horrible I know and we get no replies on it wht so ever, I even think people blew up live stream asking about it and they said NOTHING
Gelkor Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 You'll do more damage throwing Helios at the enemy than using it. Considering that Deconstructor is technically Helios "deconstructing" and throwing itself at enemies (hence it works like glaive but does blunt damage), this is particularly apt.
Adaptor-Face Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 he scans stuff in undertow, just FYI if you want to use him to fill your codex
NitroESB Posted April 28, 2014 Author Posted April 28, 2014 he scans stuff in undertow, just FYI if you want to use him to fill your codex He still wouldn't scan enough anyways, takes 5-20sec to scan annything.... its faster to just use reg codex scanner
IronRushBR Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Impossible this thing to be useful for anything. Is very bad. The scan need to be fast and easy than we can do with our scanner to be useful. In fact, to be useful, the scan need to be instantaneous. if not, is much better we use another sentinel.

Mostly it just seems to scan corpus trashcans.

I agree 100%, to bad they can't even reply to anyones thread on this subject
Linksil Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 I don't think it scanning everything is going to stop, you'd have to have codex checks on everything before it got scanned and that would increase overhead/lag. Putting something like an AOE scan in would be more useful... or instant scans like a lot of people suggest. Or we can do something like having a bound key and you just hit that key and the sentinel will instant scan your target(Working on corpses would be a wonderful addition too). Also being able to bring in more then 100 scans into a level would be useful. Well right now I just want them to fix the scanner so you don't have to double scan everything to get one scan.
Rakosta_Kai Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Truth? The quality of life mods for sentinels should never have been tied to specific units. Carrier is the most popular Sentinel because he relieves players from having to run around hunting loot drops (still don't agree to this mechanic due to rushers and door heroes). Why can't Wyrm Vacuum them as well? Or scan to the Codex (such as it is)? Or apply an enemy or loot radar ( I wish)? As long as QoL mods are tied to specific sentinels, Carrier will remain the most popular of the bunch.
cybermucker Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Those who rely on sentinels are those who walk equal to the weak.
Rakosta_Kai Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Plus, it needs to stop scanning things you already have. Mostly it just seems to scan corpus trashcans. It wants its' home
IronRushBR Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Very sad what you are saying about it guys. So DE don't say nothing about it since sentinel's release?
NitroESB Posted April 28, 2014 Author Posted April 28, 2014 Very sad what you are saying about it guys. So DE don't say nothing about it since sentinel's release? Exactly. Not a word on how useless it is right now or if they are going to fix it
Gelkor Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Exactly. Not a word on how useless it is right now or if they are going to fix it Well, it does still give mastery until you drop it for something better, like Carrier. ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY VACUUM!!!
