OvAeons Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 First, it is unbelievably boring as defense missions usually are...the scaling fix helps the one shots on the ships, thanks for that, really bad getting that sneaky penta... Second, sure it is nice to get 2 chances at the part you need @ wave 20 BUT WHY THE SAME TWO PARTS? not even joking every double part is corvas... it really should be 2 different parts!! no chance of the same part.. Thirdly ties with the first in a way, CONSTANTLY getting people who afk anywhere between half the time or right up till the last few waves. had one game where 1 person afk'd in the tile before the ships from wave 6-18 and another person between the defense target and docking column from wave 5-19. Want to guess how thrilled i was? NOT! the afkers i have gotten so far have all used macros to move them selves a little bit and shot their weapon every so often to stay out of the auto extract.

arKRazor Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 The only time I went to 20 was before 17.5.5One onorix blade, one phaedra part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arKRazor Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 a lot easier now, i have the phaedrara part too, but just need the bloody Kaszas blade.. I need that part as well. I fear for my chances at this rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitresco Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 another person between the defense target and docking column from wave 5-19 Apologies, that may have been me. I needed to make a quick phone call, one that I couldn't risk missing important details on. I tried to keep Thumper up and threw out the occasional nuke, but I was too busy writing down information to do much else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z123FFSS89 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) You don't always get the same 2 parts at 20 but after 30 runs and finally getting the kasza blade I was happy to get 2 even though I only needed one. I haven't experienced afkers but I assume it's cause they don't have max gear and are looking for a carry. It's hard to find players with good gear now cause everyone who refused to play it before is trying to rank their stuff up on higher lvl maps. It's annoying asf.

GoSonic Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I got one part for the new weapons each time (2 runs). And people that AFK aren't really a problem with the mission... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armedpoop Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I just did it for the 1st time, and it took at least 45mins or so to get to wave 20 with a 4 man squad on comms. 2 on each side. It was due to abysmally slow enemy spawn rate. It was so boring that I almost Fell asleep. Like why does it take so long to spawn guys? We got a Corvas part and a Phaedra part. Wont be going back there till we get a spawn revamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSonic Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 You don't always get 2 parts at 20 What do you mean? You may know this and I may be derpin but if you keep the two shuttles alive you will get 2 rewards. I'm just not sure what you mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p3z1 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) The spawns are fine for solo Scratch that, solo is still kinda slow, and the map layout isn't all that helpful to get to defense position A and B (for me that is, maybe some solo players here share my opinion?) For groups though, is another story... Edited October 6, 2015 by p3z1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not gonna help much since enemies can probably eat the ships alive quick enough at some point (lv 33 at wave 5), and the defense objective having 500/2000 shields/health Edit: Defense objectives regenerate, making life a bit easier for solo players Edited October 6, 2015 by p3z1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know who's bright idea it was to not have the objectives scale like normal defense pods do, but I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to keep Thumper up and threw out the occasional nuke, but I was too busy writing down information to do much else. i do not recognize your name so was not you XD the people i am getting are doing nothing but auto macro inch by inch moving and every 10s shooting their gun into a wall. You don't always get the same 2 parts at 20 but after 30 runs and finally getting the kasza blade I was happy to get 2 even though I only needed one.

It's hard to find players with good gear now cause everyone who refused to play it before is trying to rank their stuff up on higher lvl maps. It's annoying asf. the 10 matchs i have done has given me the 2 corvas parts as each rewards when both ships survived:P i know RNG, but there should not even BE a chance to get 2 like parts. Hard to know what people were running but most of the people had max hp on their wings... i am 100% fine with carrying with elytron but i am 100% not ok with AFKing have lost several ships to that.. I got one part for the new weapons each time (2 runs). And people that AFK aren't really a problem with the mission... it is the mission that is making people AFK so it is a problem with the mission.

GoSonic Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 The same 2 parts XD I fugged up lol Ah gotcha. it is the mission that is making people AFK so it is a problem with the mission. The mission isn't that bad/boring. People that AFK and make others work while they sit there and do nothing are c****. If you need a part, work for it. Its problem is not the mission, its how lazy and selfish these people are. And that won't be fixed because there is no cure for being a c****.

Storchenbein Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Just played 2 matches after the scaling bug was fixed... dear lord, that was the most boring thing I've done in the entire game. I have to wait minutes for 3 drones to spawn that I rip to shreds with a single shot. The time it takes to reach wave 20 is way too high, even if you get 2 rewards. Sitting 40 minutes infront of a gate waiting for enemies to spawn is NOT fun. Make enemies spawn faster, in larger bursts with 1 or 2 downtimes before the wave ends so we don't sit there waiting for bursts of 3 drones to appear and then having to wait another minute for more... Also balance the spawns out, it's either A or B that gets all the spawns with an occasional Ranger or two on the other shuttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AutumnBramble Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Yeah I did a Neptune defense with four of my clan members and we got to wave 10 before one of our team literally started falling asleep and we stopped. I just tried it solo and like, 15 minutes in I wasn't even to wave 5 yet. This is brutal. There are moments where you're just waiting like a solid honest minute for something to spawn/trying to find where the enemy is stuck so you can finish the wave.

Kotsender_Quasimir Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) It's doable in 20~30 minutes with multiple max range/str Elytrons. I always stack 4 Thumpers just right in the "butts" of the 2 aircrafts, pretty much covers the whole map. Then spam away some warheads here/there and you're good. Sitting on 11 Phaedra stocks and countless Corvas BS now, still no Kaszas blade. Agreed, possibilty for both rewards to be same is lame... The archwing rng-nightmare is actually worse than the Voids because of the inabilty to trade parts, surely doesn't boost archwing's popularity... (i do enjoy playing it actually, recent HUD enhancements etc are pretty awesome imo). Edited October 7, 2015 by Kotsender_Quasimir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
