Just Figured Out That Kubrow Grinding Might Just Be The Worse Grind Of Them All

[7grims]

Kubrows suck, don't argue against this though.

Lets move on.

 

 

With kubrows:

 

- you can only grind earth for their juicy eggs.

 

- you get it from dens, that don't spawn endlessly, so you only get very few shots every time.

 

- (EDIT) we can only have 1 egg at any given time, as if our magic space saucer doesn't have room for more eggs, when we carry around tons of weapons, tons of items, and tons of frames.

 

- the absurd high maintenance resource requirements (not to mention the needless incubator just for these flee bags occupying space on my lovely ship), which includes argons (argons grind, is already as messed up as it can be).

 

- for kubrow mods, you get a little more at ease, since the grineer kurbows do drop some of those mods too, but if you try to grind for kubrow mods on earth, they also do not spawn endlessly.

 

- the waiting of idk how many hours just to find out this is not the droid you were looking for.

 

- you do not get to pick them, nor the templates help at all, compared to sentinels, which you always have 100% chance of getting the one you just bought.

 

- all those wacky and wasteful things just to maintain those hairy inferior companions alive.

 

- dealing with ordis, because now he talks about those flee bags, that he also hates xD

 

 

 

And, the cherry on top of this tasteless cake.

Ladies and gentleman, the freaking reason why I say:

"kubrow grinding might just be the worse grind of them all"

 

- you actually loose credits because you are grinding those turds.

Every time I consign a kubrow to lotus, because yet again its a sahasa or a sunika... I have to pay...

It's the only freaking item, in all this game you pay to get rid off, you pay to delete it from your inventory.

And you don't even get the satisfaction of killing it, noooooo, its haves to say "consign to lotus"

At least let it say "kill it", or "trow him to space" or "drop him in a bath of sulfuric acid"

 

Let me put down old yeller free of cost, most times old yeller isn't even old, he is still a puppy that isn't the type/race I want.

Is it so demanding to ask for it to be free of charge. And for it to say "kill it", and pretty please let me watch it when his eyes roll over from suffocation, that doesn't sound unreasonable to me.

Archwing is please Archwing is the worst of them all, at least when it comes to leveling, oh god!!!!!!

[Magneu]

Meanwhile, back to everyone else who's happy with their Kubrow that lasts well into level 100+.

 

Kubrows by no mean are for new players, quest timing not-withstanding. If you get the incubator upgrade, it helps alleviate costs immensely.  

 

I won't argue they have some heavy (ish) costs. But if you know how to use them, they're completely worth it.

Yah true, I dont do archwing either, but at least every penny wasted in archwing is for upgrading mods or building a thing you need for mastery fodder.

Kubrows has the worst AI I ever seen in game. And uselessly my kubrow dies before it even reach's high level from it's buggy AI.

You may say I'm wrong, but it's facts.

They're not talking about upgrade costs (which fyi, kubrows are not bad... at all.. you're REALLY overreacting)- they're talking about leveling archwing gear (not to mention actually getting the pieces).

[KaMicahZay]

Not to mention Helios does more damage than any kubrow ever will.

I do have the incubator upgrade band-aid, cant remember what it improves, still 24h later, its just another disappointment and back to grindy grind, that reminds me of 1 more point, gonna add that we can only have 1 egg at time.

 

Know how to use them?

As in equip them, put the obvious useful mods, and the obvious damage mods.

Too much mad skill to learn, cant handle it.

The AI definitely needs improvement- but if it's dying it's because you're neglecting it in mission. You CAN REVIVE them. You can't do that with sentinels. The only time a kubrow dies "before high level" is if you personally let it die.

[Stratego89]

Helios' deconstructor is severely bugged though(and since I know you'll probably try to argue and say it's not, I'll say it again it is SEVERELY bugged). Saying something that's OP because of a bug is better than something that is not bugged doesn't work. Kubrow's damage is higher than any sentinel weapon (save for sweeper prime and the new vulklok which I haven't actually checked the damage calculations for yet).

Kinda get's stupid when you have to revive it 10-20 times constantly to just see it do the same mistake again and again. Also when they go down, they can sometimes not even spawn right by you and just stay down (say like the raid on stage 2, where it falls into the toxic slug and doesn't teleport back to you.) That's what I'm talking about.

I wouldn't deny the fact that it seems bugged. Saw it 1 shot raid Vay Hek once. Not complaining. It has been used 18% of the time of all my sentinel weapons yet has more kills than ANY WEAPON IN MY INVENTORY. I still side towards sentinels being better for various reasons, but after getting upgrader segment I still use Kubrows. But they need some work!

Again, you dont waste credits on garbage bags (consign) to put their dead corpses in, every time you go and grind some.

RNG might be worse in poopwing, but you'r not loosing money, unless you choose to buy more slots, but then you would be wasting plat.

Kubrows and Archwings: most meaningful content ever added to this game.

[RIOT]

yep, kubrow grinding is a pain, almost as boring as archwing grinding.
on the plus side though, lotus kubrows can sell any where from 200p to 800p

[taiiat]

as usual, extreme exaggeration related to Resource costs, and usability of the subject at hand. [and AI].

3/4 of this Post was all subjectively biased, and has no place in Constructive Feedback.

it's important to be able to identify what personal opinions are or are probably biased and exclude them most of the time.

Breeding should be Punnett Squares. fullstop.

and where's my Plat item that lets me breed a Kubrow and use one at the same time. or 12 at the same time if i want to pay that much.

Don't touch that dial! By the command of DERebecca, we're getting another pointless credit sink! KAVATS! (I always think Cravat when I hear that name :P and yes, they are the necktie-leash that DE uses to jerk players around with.) XD

- dealing with ordis, because now he talks about those flee bags, that he also hates xD

 

 

 

- You can only grind for things in certain places for a lot of equipment. 

 

- Boss spawn only once. Certain void missions drop only one item.

 

- Ok, got me there. But why would you need to have more than one egg at a time growing? You want to make buku plat?

 

- You only need argon when you want to breed them.

 

- Again, not everything spawns endlessly.

 

- 2 log-ins rewards or less with the new upgrade.

 

- use the same gene prints to get the same result. Except for sex, height, maybe body type.

 

- you only need creds for maintenance.

 

- Ordis talks to you about everything you do. Even changing colors.

 

- you actually loose credits because you are grinding those turds.

Buy 2 prints of the same kind to get the ones you want.

RNG is RNG.

What are you doing with all your money that you cant drop 25k every couple of days?

as far as using two prints to get the kubrow you want, that's just luck. 11 kubrows later after using the same 2 damn imprints every time and I never managed to get the height and sex I wanted. That kind of makes you want to say "fock you, you absolute garbage system, if I want to gamble I'll go to the goddamn casino".

 

Well, it's 25k every few days, and 100k for the power supply for every puppy, that adds up pretty fast especially if you want anything from baro or are fusing mods.

[DelialFallen]

I am not sure how to take threads about grinding being a pain or altogether worthless in a game where the content heavily favors repetition.

[Stratego89]

Again, you dont waste credits on garbage bags (consign) to put their dead corpses in, every time you go and grind some.

RNG might be worse in poopwing, but you'r not loosing money, unless you choose to buy more slots, but then you would be wasting plat.

The stasis slots aren't even that expensive- and 25k to consign one is chump change, seriously that's what... 2 T1C runs? Come on...

[7grims]

Stasis slots arent expensive?

If I'm criticizing kubrows are costly credits wise, why would I be happy to spend plat if that resource is even more precious.

 

And 25k is expensive to consign a kubrow.

I actually say it is super-hubber-mega-stupid-freaking-expensive. Why?

Simple, because it costs more then zero credits.

I can get rid or delete my weapons, my frames, my sentinels, etc etc etc, and I win credits with it, and its not even much.

But with kubrows I pay to delete them, and its a way higher price compared to the return I get with selling my non-kubrow gear.

(don't even dare coming up with a lore excuse, that they are living creatures and stuff, they are a tool I acquire, use, keep or dispense just like any other item)

Sounds to me like you just want to complain about losing chump change because you don't feel like using your plat on kubrow slots. Also,

125k per reroll + the time it takes to farm the egg isn't a lot? Buy the egg and slot? Ok, now I'm dumping just over one USD per egg and slot. That adds up quick When you take into account of the fathomably more useful items I could get for two platinum less. Face it, kubrows are a money sink. with a pretty aesthetic. Sentinels are just as if not more effective for a one time credit investment. Also, now that sentinels have an effective shotgun and rifle based weapons means that they can more effectively fit into more players' playstyles. 

 

I agree. At the end of the day, they're a tool just like your gun or axe.

One of my treads was on a hot topic back when kubrows didn't have consigning.

I was starving a kubrow to death, because I had no way to get rid of it, after 2o days I finished the tread with a picture of the inbox message, and by then DE had already included the consignment feature.

 

Sadly those little bits of data do not mess with my emotional cold hearth, if only they were useful as my carrier, which I felt sad once I had to put him in the attic because carrier prime happened.
