RoboDoge Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 ...what is the point of slowpoke Nova on Kiste-Ceres? Because i dont see it. I might be a noob that doesnt know what is the deal here, but i know that slowpoke MP slows down mobs and making them spawn less. And whole point of Kiste is getting as much drops and affinity possible. Also, i tested Kiste-Ceres runs with speedy and slowpoke Nova, and with speedy one you get 2 000 reputation more per run. And we all know that reputation is directly connected to the affinity gain. Players do not understand mechanics of the game and are thinking that what works on other maps, might work everywhere? They are not smart enough to realize less mobs means less drops and affinity on MD? /rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's your opinion. The actual objective that DE gave us is the mobile defense of the consoles. Slow nova is there to debuff the enemies so the objective can be achieved easier. Loot and efficiency is not everyone's idea of fun and why they play the game. Edited April 13, 2015 by kiteohatto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaotyke Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I dont really like high level enemies that can deal a lot of damage and slash procs firing faster than they already do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many players actually plays Kiste for fun? I dont really like high level enemies that can deal a lot of damage and slash procs firing faster than they already do. They are not even the threat there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PressXtoJaaason Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 This is just my take on the whole MP thing. My friends main is a MP nova and i main a Rhino Prime. When Molecular prime is combined with an AOE like Rhino's Stomp, or Frost's Avalanche, or even Ember's World on Fire, it can be devastating to the masses. The enemies will explode instantly. That is the tactic I use on ODD or T4 defenses or survivals, and this tactic brings in the loot and affinity. Hope it helped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeckoOBac Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Remember that a fast nova deals pitiful damage on the prime explosion. A slow now instead of just giving the 200% dmg bonus also has the aoe effect on every kill, which can lead to chain deaths and it's always added damage. Tbh fast nova makes sense only in a premade group, agreed upon, as regardless of what you're doing slow nova will make it easier, if slower, but fast nova can actually cause you to fail rather than help you if you're not prepared for it.

I know how to use Nova, my point is why people are using slowpoke Nova on farming grounds where mobs spawn in constant streams. Point which majority of the people here missed. Not once did i hear "this node sucks for farming, mobs dont spawn at all" from the users of slowpoke Novas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiteoHatto Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 How many players actually plays Kiste for fun? Many play frames that they enjoy playing. Using a fast nova on enemies that use hitscan weapons and have bleed procs usually forces people to use frames they don't actually like, but have to use them because some clown wants 2k extra rep(with 20k max rep a day limit if you are maxed mastery) and maybe a few thousand extra exp.

So essentially what you're asking is why players play the way they feel comfortable in a PUG match? Soothe thy mammaries. Not everyone values the same things in the game that you do, nor should they be expected to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CephalonShy Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) ◔_◔ Min maxer, stands for maximum efficiency, minumal fun. No offence, but in pubs people got right to run any frame they friggin want. You wanna farm - build a team and farm together.

I am asking why players farm something ( reputation, affinity, resources ) without knowing game mechanics, and then complain that node is broken and mobs wont spawn.

So are you assuming that they are there to farm resources, affinity, or reputation, or did they specifically state as such? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oranji Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I usually run Kiste to farm exp so when I see a Slowva I ask them to stop priming if they dont then I simply leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billthebetta Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 You shouldn't expect pubs to rep farm. Get a group together if you want to, otherwise, expect pubs to be as organized as they com-oh wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
