Hybridon Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I can understand some people like it, but to me its one of the worse styles of game design: 1 - It doesnt evoke any co-op, each person sits on a terminal, and you pray that no one goes down. 2 - Its a Defense mission with no dynamics, you could have easily done something like Battlefront 2, and add in neutral troops on Tennos side, to actually make it interesting, but no. Damn the new PVP you want for Dark Sector is exactly what Interceptions should be, just not PVP in the case of Interception. Now you force me to grind those for T4 keys, and these keys have the worst dilution because you guys cant actually make grind entertaining at all. How many T4 Exterminates will I have to run to get Bo Handle? It took me over 40 T3s to get a single Rhino BP. If you at least added in 5 items, all with 20% chance, Id be ok with it, but no... I have to farm a boring mission, go up to the 3rd round to maybe get a freakin key. Then I have to pray its the key I want, and then enter after something you put in at 5% because huh, its fun to make players go crazy. Then you start getting people that quit and you ar elike, meh, only those vets that got saturated... dear DE, stop making us leave cause you cant actually look at your freakin diluted tables... VOID dilution... MOD dilution... STANCES diluted, KEYS diluted... missions that arent rewarding at all. When are you gona fix the fact that I enter a defense, play 60 minutes, up to wave 40, to leave with a freakin fusion core????Im this close from quitting also...

Cabadath5 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Battlefront 2 in this game.....with one giant map and mobs murdering each other.Perhaps an occasional mini-boss spawning on the enemy team. You just made me incredibly sad with the thought of what this game could have been.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mak_Gohae Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 You could just wait for some one to use their keys and ask for an invite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xNegikunx Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) But Defense is the blandest mission type of them all, it's truly boring as hell. Interception is way more interesting in comparison. Edited June 12, 2014 by xNegikunx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zachles Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Okay, first of all, no one is forcing you to play them. Just wait until someone is hosting one of those T4 keys and ask for an invite. Is that really so hard? Anyways, I am glad DE nudged players into playing Interception game modes. I don't know who you play with, but I've never seen anyone just camp a single terminal and kill anything that goes towards it. It's a wonderfully designed level, in my opinion; a lot more exciting than Defense, though I feel like an increase in spawns would make it a lot more enjoyable and challenging.

Namacyst Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Community voted in DE's official poll that Interception was bad, boring, slow and (if i'm correct) the most unwanted mission type... ...DE added more and more interception missions to the Universe map, put them even in the Void and made T4 keys obtainable via Interception. Great success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Im obligated to play with others also? My problem is its all around bad. I cant farm my keys cause its in a boring mission, the one voted most boring as stated by Namacyst.

xNegikunx Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 They also made Interception easier. Hell, I can solo 3 waves easily now and it's not really that slow. It's faster than Defense since I don't have to waste time between waves and spawns getting stuck inside rooms/wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I have to play Interceptions, when all they need to do is learn how to make droptables. You dont even need a degree, all you need to know is basic math.

Kamal965 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I don't particularly like being forced to play Survival or Defense for those T1-T3 void keys. Yet, I do. The T4 keys do have to go somewhere, you know? Adding them to defense and survival will just add more dilution to those tables, so our best options would be Interception and Hijack.

Worira Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Well, I don't know what to tell you. You're just going to have to get over it, I guess. Or, alternately, he could not play. And generally, when an update makes people who have paid $250 minimum not want to play your game any more, you maybe want to rethink that update.

Lunaticked Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 This is what DE was thinking when they were making this update But yeah this is really bad and DE needs to fix this ASAP its like they don't even listen to us sometimes....

Hybridon Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Well, I don't know what to tell you. You're just going to have to get over it, I guess. Or voice my opinion.

Adding them to defense and survival will just add more dilution to those tables, so our best options would be Interception and Hijack. Easily fixed if you divide the star chart into 4 tiers also, and each tier drops that key. That way I can, you know, play survival, or defense or interception to get my keys. There are better alternatives, like maybe fixing the game types as to being rewarding. Defense still nets 1 reward at the end and has the worst key chance. Survival at least has a guaranteed key drop at 15 mins, and every 20 mins, only problem being again there stubborness in adding T2 and T3 keys together. They could have easily made it 15% chance each key on any tier. Bottom line, work on the mission types and make a rewarding key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said that because it is quite obvious DE doesn't care what we think. The fact that the drop tables are worse than they've ever been, after repeatedly saying that they would be fixing the issue, says that much.

Maybe if we get enough feedback like the aura situation when they released it, it may work for once. If it doesnt, then give up and watch the community slowly loose there most passionate players, me included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F1UXie Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 The last time I played Interception missions was back during the Tethra's Doom event because it's just not fun to play solo. I'm really not looking forward to farming T4 keys solo on those missions. Maybe once or twice a week when my friend is on I can take it on with 2 people, but I'm not playing with random people, nor should anyone have to for this to be manageable.

LGear Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Actually, Interceptions is EASY now. On Ceres, already holding 3 rounds, and it's nowhere near the level of crazy that the post-Tethra's Doom interceptions were. At the very least, it's now no more difficult than your usual Defense mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
