nickelshark Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I do this. Solo of course. With RNG like this you bet I am going to take the most efficient route. Yes, doing it in pubs is a **** move, but I can't really blame people for doing it. People who wanna abort should just set to solo. The acolytes are easy to defeat anywho.

Aratir Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Its the problem of the event players just want to play and have fun. Events before were like run missions get point get rewarded with full sets if you wanted run harder missions for extra reward Now with this event search for event mission run mission hope for the best with rng get 1 mod then rerun the whole thing. Its just a lot more boring with the grind wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10thdivine Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Well its gonna be fixed now that you people kept whining and once you get your common mods you will regret this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Xurokhan Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 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. Rebecca said that DE is going to hotfix this ASAP and mods will be given as end of mission rewards, so no more worries sir! Anyone who isn't a team players doesn't have a choice now.

Anyone who isn't a team players doesn't have a choice now. Wow, this isn't even a band-aid solution. It's a badly designed event with truckload of RNG everyones hates and now it's gonna be even more time consuming? Thanks, DE, you just made me less inclined to play at all.

Aelurus Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Agree with OP. Leaving mid mission makes it harder for everyone else. Makes the game harder for the people who wants to finish the mission. Makes the game impossible for people who gets locked behind a door because the host migrated. Makes the game frustrating for people who suddenly joined the game only to discover that the acolyte in that game has already been killed. Please be courteous. If you do not want to waste your time, don't waste other people's. Please create a room, or find like-minded people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accalius Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I'd just up and quit in solo mode only. I never got Argon scope, which I am PISSED off now because Torment only ever dropped that god damn pistol mod, and now he's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bongever Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 And this is why I solo farm. Wouldnt have needed to farm this way if DE didnt screw up the mod rewards, but thats for another rant. Its been efficient and I didnt put anyone through the godawful experience of a Host Migration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasseopea Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 makes me wonder why DE didn't do exactly this as well as ditching the stupid wait time If there are less mods and people cant farm them, people will buy them with plat from others. This means people will buy more platin = profit for DE. They did it on purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaotyke Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Hotfix 18.4.3 Game sessions can no longer be joined in-progress once an Acolyte Spawns. This prevents players from showing up late and missing out on the encounter entirely. Added changes to reveal method of Acolyte Mod Drops to prevent stress on host-migration and matchmaking in the event of repeated mission aborts. Please note that now any Event Mod dropped by Acolytes will appear with the 'Rare' beacon and only be revealed at mission complete. /thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerdfer Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 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. hahaha. whata did they do ? Exactly that :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beercritch Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I genuinely got a game on Tuesday where the host left after the acolyte was killed even though he was within sight of extraction. Go figure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Kulogrande0 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 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. I'm a Ps4 player. So, the event will come after a few weeks. If DE ban me for trying to get the mods in a event that not guaranted to get after completion. I quit the game forever. Surely this reduce the aborts... And the playerbase. This tactic for farming is not the problem. The problem is that one way or another you can be not rewarded for your efforts. That means it's not F2P cause there's content that you can not get. Even if you play like a crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)yamikeigo Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 how do devs not plan for these types of exploits? Did no one learn from that stupid Loot Cave in Destiny? Human players will almost always find a way to manipulate the system in their favor unless you put mechanics in place to effectively stop it.

(PSN)Kulogrande0 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 If acolytes can be tonkorized i surely play solo this event only to avoid this ton of sh1t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfhsanseiIII Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Yea. I'll always stand by the notion that if it's a public match then you get what you pay for. If you coordinate a team for farming then I cold see a reason to grump. That said, it is annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accalius Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 If there are less mods and people cant farm them, people will buy them with plat from others. This means people will buy more platin = profit for DE. They did it on purpose. It really seems that way. DE is BAD at RNG. You'd think they'd implement some sort of system that breaks the statistics involved in a pure unregulated RNG system. Where a rare mod only has a 1% chance of dropping out of 100 missions, for some people that 1% will happen 10 times in a row for the first 10 attempts, for others it may happen 30 times in a row after 270 runs of the same mission and not getting that rare drop until the very bitter end.

Sh0ck-Wave Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) Had this happen and it's very annoying. So for these missions I just don't bother playing with others. Frost + Globe Syndicate mod + Sentinel with Coolant Leak = acolyte stands still while you rip his face off using your weapon of choice. Now you just watch how fast they get cold immunity in the next update :) Edited January 28, 2016 by Sh0ck-Wave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloop Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 People seem not to know what "solo" is and decide to leave having a squad to host. I think I am one of the few who does not do that besides not getting the mod I wanted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Blaze- Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Frost + Globe Syndicate mod + Sentinel with Coolant Leak = acolyte stands still while you rip his face off using your weapon of choice. Ivara Sleep arrow...enough said. Btw...You don't see what mod drops, its just a big Question Mark like in Spy Missions or Sabotage. There was a Hotfix yesterday.

Hemmo67 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) 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). ah classic. one says aborters should go solo and another says those who do not abort must go solo. how exactly this makes sense :| edit: seriously please explain how does this ^ makes any sense :| Edited January 28, 2016 by Hemmo67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
