Please Stop Quitting Acolyte Runs If You Didn't Get The Mod You Wanted.

[WindBlade]

Especially if your the host. Just... please stop screwing over other people so you can make your next run slightly faster. 

 

Some of us want our runs to count. Some of us end up losing a mod they didn't have becasue of Host Migration Hell YOU caused. 

 

Just... your not the only person in the TEAM. Its not all about you.

[FunkadelicMayhem]

Iv lost a few mods because of this. The host quits, then a migration then the next host quits and bug or not im back in my liset wondering where my mod went.

[Ixxolos]

I second this notion. They are rife in this event too. Can 99% guarantee the entire squad just ups an leaves if a common mod drops. 

 

Now i understand that this is is a pretty common farming tactic but GD it's annoying AF.

 

I do not get why these sorts of players don't play the missions solo so not to spoil the event for so many others.

 

There should be some form of handicap in place for repeater quitters imo they are killing this event for so many players.

This is why I'll be running them solo or with clan mates. 

[Nitresco]

Or just tell them to go solo and continue to abort runs.

I mean, it's easy justifiable why they do it. The drop chance is terrible for the rare mods. People shouldn't have to do 70+ runs and still not get a single rare. Who enjoys wasting another 5+ minutes just to secure a common mod they already own multiple copies of?

 

If anything, DE should learn from this.

Considering they're about to fix it, and its the only rational solution to farming rare mods because I want time to do other things like sleep, eat, and maybe if i have time after that, going to the bathroom, Im definitely going to continue to mission abort to get the mods I want.

 

Although i am running as host in invite only so it lets all my team mates keep the mods when i abort, even though i dont.

I play solo. problem solvedB

bring Frost, Use Hek. they're "dead" in 2 clips or less

[NekroArts]

Either those players can't handle themselves or they're just straight up trolling.

[-Amaterasu-]

Really hate this on defenses and it's the reason I do these missions solo now

their 'fix' is gonna make the farm unbearable unless they make endless missions an exception when randomly picking a game mode. imagine this: torment picks a defense, kill torment, do all 5 waves, extract, congratulations! your millionth hydraulic crosshairs! thats a good 5-10 minutes you wasted.

Same, thou I play with Loki (25s invis) and Orthos P, I literally just sit still in invis while spamming fullspeed melee. Acolyte pops mod everytime before the invis runs out.

[Lesserli]

I'd encourage a penalty system when people leave their games (not when it crashes). You left your game? Wait a minute before you can start again. You left again? Now wait 2 minutes. After some time your timeout resets. The first left could be a fair warning.

As the Torment was on Eris Defence just a moment ago, it literally took only 3,5->4mins to do the defence Solo =/

But yeah compared to any non-endless missions that might at best luck take less than 2mins to run, but if you have to run a huge tileset and only finding the Acolyte in the last dead end room, it might actually take longer than the Defence mission.

[Caeliin]

Stop complaining. If you don't want to lose your comon mods, play solo or with friends. You'll get all the basic ones with 3-4 runs.  50-100 kills later, you'll do the same (and you'll be right).

i don't think that will have a positive reaction....this is punishing the players instead of fixing the core issue. drop chances are horrendous. the players leaving are just playing efficiently, not justifiable, but they're going through it to get their mods.

some missions can last a good bit of time *looks at exterminations* i suggested making it to where the acolyte keeps the drop tables including the rare, but once it's killed, you're rewarded the rare mod, or heck maybe the entire set. that way if you're rng luck is horrendous like mine, you can still get the rewards, but if you want extras to sell or give your friend then you can farm

If the mod drop rates were reasonable, i doubt you'd see the aborts. Well, you'd see way less. Symptom of the problem people!

This would be good when used "abort mission".

 

Worked great when Valve introduced this in CSGO matchmaking competitive. If you did enough consecutive aborts there was 2 weeks and iirc a Month worth of ban from competitive matches. I loved it that the players who were a problem wouldn't come around for a while. But after awhile came the Steam sales and these same people started to buy tons of accounts....

Still penalty would be good imo. Would significantly reduce the aborts.

[-CdG-Zilchy]

If you want to farm that way, play solo and put up with searching for the Acolyte yourself. Quitting and ruining 3 other people's game is extremely selfish and I'd love to see DE punish this.

[Darkmoone1]

I'm personally using it if I join in the middle of a match and the acolyte is already dead and can't find the mod from it. 

[MasterBongHere]

yeah its annoying  as F@#$ 

[Doothers]

They honestly should have given us a mod pack instead of making us farm for all of them. Especially in Torments case (at this rate he wont see sunlight again in two days or less). That would have solved all of these problems and saved them the trouble.

Let's remember that the rewards from this mission are already given: Catalyst/Reactor/Sigil/Badge and eventually Vulkar+Lacera Skin.

The mods from acolytes are just kind of "extra fun" you can get while doing the Event. It's exactly the same as in the Infestation event awhile back, which dropped "High Noon" mod from the BroodMother. If you were lucky (or grind 24/7) you got it. I know it's annoying if you are left without the possible drops, but that's how this game is designed. Some day or maybe right after this event? you will get those drops eventually. Everyone can't have everything at all times instantly.

Wow...I thought it was just me. I didn't have this problem the first day tho. When I played today, I jumped into a match. Not more than 15 seconds in...an acolyte showed up. myself and one other killed it. Then the host dropped. I thought he/she got DC'd.

 

 

"I miss the good ol' days......when people killed people" SMH!

those rewards were for the first portion as we're still missing the vulkar wraith and the lacera skin. 

 

this is from the event page:

​you see it's an event reward. not 'extra fun' you've not seen any other event where the event mods were 'extra fun' and the thing about the infested thing is: brood mothers are still in game and  can drop high noon!

[-CdG-Zilchy]

Tenno hosting multiplayer should be locked out of the missions for 5 minutes if they abort. Simple.
