Captain_Morgan1172 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I'm not sure what the values were before the nerf to the rate he appears at. But it might have been too much. Because multiple marks no longer count to anything, you really only have a /constant/ 3.5% chance to spawn him with a full party of people. All of which are marked.

taiiat Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 since Blind Justice appeared onto his drop list... Stalker has been chasing me around a lot. probably like 7 times in the past week. 6 of those being after me specifically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charvx Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 you mean he appears too rarely? Then i completely agree. I have not seen him in ages and yet i fight bosses a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)IIIDevoidIII Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I don't know where you are getting your numbers from besides personal experience. There has been no recent change to Stalker behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixty5 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Those changes were made a very long time ago. Assasins are not something that should show up regularly, by their nature they should be something random, something difficult to hunt down. My suggestion is simply to run more missions.

RoboDoge Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I got him 3 to 4 times per week, and i maybe play 2 to 5 missions per day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xarfrax Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) 3.5% (1.5% + (0.5% * player count) for each player with at least 1 mark in a max party, so if all 4 are marked you have 4 separate 3.5% chances to get him to spawn with a maximum of 1 spawn of course, having 4 stalkers at once would be silly..... or would it...

StinkyPygmy Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Like most things when it comes to suspicions that encounters/drop rates are bugged or nerfed: RNG. I've encountered him 4 times in the last 3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Morgan1172 Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 Then I think they aught to title his messages a lot differently. Because I've even kept a Conclave lower than 600, all weekend. e_e Even while using my Affinity booster to level up all my gear. All weekend. Not a single thing. e_e I mean, around earlier when I started playing, the Stalker terrified me. I'm wide open for him, ready for him to take my virgin Nyx Prime Butt. And he does nothing. e_E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurrumitsumi Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 i thought this was about his power XD i actually think hes gotten really weak, maybe its cause i have more experience fighting him so its easier, but last time he showed up i had un ranked stuff and was able to take him down, sybaris too stronk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArturiaFayth Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 He probably shows up when he knows there is a small chance of being defeated by you or a team member of you... Whenever i run with rather good gear to take him down, he refuses to show his face, but the moment i am running solo missions with low ranked stuff that would not be able to take him down the bastard shows his face... When trying to hunt him with unranked stuff and some team members, he refuses to show himself again, but the moment you leave the team, he is coming for your head again like a coward...

Xarfrax Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Also don't forget, killing a boss isn't a guaranteed mark, Stalky has to give you a nice little warning message in your inbox after the boss mission to determine if you're marked.

Stalker has been chasing me around a lot. probably like 7 times in the past week. 6 of those being after me specifically. Yes, i have the same feeling, yesterday he appeared 3 times for me in 4 consecutive missions, got my Blind Justice mod in defense, i even dropped at wave 5 in fear of having a host migration and losing the stance.

LordMelvin Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I got visited by him the day Blind Justice released. The time before that was two or three weeks prior. Before that it was several months. I don't mind him showing up rarely. If he and the other assassins showed up too much they'd stop being scary and just be another part of the grind. Firefall has a Death Squad that will seek you out periodically. During Beta it was terrifying since the whole screen goes purple and you start seeing shadows and hearing whispers. All of a sudden this giant red drop pod screams down and 20-something power armored nutjobs pile out to kill you and only you. They could get you anywhere and if you died the leader got a killcounter above his head of all the victims he'd claimed. The other day though, I got attacked roughly every two minutes by the Death Squad. I actually had two at the same time since I wasn't paying enough attention to wipe out the first one. After the fifth or so consecutive attack in 10 minutes I got pretty fed up by the constant interruptions. Anything that is predictable isn't scary, and if Stalker's spawn chances go up I have a feeling he'll just be farmed like everything else. Keep him mysterious I say.

ArturiaFayth Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 What is this death squad you speak of? Thought we only had to worry about the stalker (damn coward), the harvester and the grustag three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Morgan1172 Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 I've gotten seven consecutive messages from him this weekend. Still no sign of him. I mean, from a lore perspective, more marks should generally put you higher up on his kill list (So a slight increase to spawn rate, even if ever so slightly.) But nothing. e_e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willis936 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I don't trust the percentage numbers I've seen floating around for luring the stalker out. I've seen him 5 times in the past month, four were in the past week while everyone was leveling weapons (low conclave), and once was while I was solo leveling.
