Dobermann92 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) Hello Tenno! I hope I'm not the only one who bought multiple Stalker beacons (for few thousand ducats) to farm him. I tried to farm Despair and the Scimitar part. Me and my clanmates are decided to farm together, because they also had some beacons. Guess what: We got nothing but mods, argon crystals and a few Dread Bp-s. Nothing else! I thing Stalker beacons are here for only one reason: they are ducat sink. Not to mention Stalker has a very big droptable compared to the other 2 assassins. At least he should make a visit every week or so, but his appearance is so random. My message to DE: Please stop putting more things into Stalker's drop table or make sure he always drops a blueprint (especially when using a beacon), because 70% of the time he drops only a mod or a rare resource and that is ridicolous.

CS0310 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 as far as i am aware, the stalker beacon doesn't even force the shadow stalker to spawn, but the regular one and that one can't even drop the scimitar part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stalker beacon does spawn Shadow Stalker only if you completed The Second Dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)big_eviljak Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Beacons are lame tbh. The thing i like about the stalker is how random he is....beacons should lower ur chance to get a rare drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS0310 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 The Stalker has the same spawn chance as the G3 and Zanuka Hunter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichelPostma Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 It's hard to blame RNG. Beacons are a great way to make sure you get someone after you, but you can't exact beacons to ensure rewards. Then theyd be better off placing the actual items in baro's slots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melos-mevim Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I think this is less of a problem with beacons more of a problem with stalkers bloated drop table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vohim Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) the problem is not the beacons but Stalker's Loot table itself and stalker's rate of spawn as well even with a full party everyone marked by him he only gets about 3.5% spawn chance as if that alone isnt unfair all of the good drops have another 3% and down to 0.15% drop rate , this is flawed to the core either raise his spawn rate or fix his loot table Edited February 27, 2016 by Retepzednem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully but sadly doubtful, people been complaining about stalker and his drops for a long time practically since he had his own unique weapons and there have been countless suggestions to fix this problem, things like removing mods from his drop tables, or increasing his spawn chances, every suggestion out there has been made and all of them been ignored.

Nope. Did a stalker beacon run, clearly a shadow stalker and he droped a scimitar part. I think it depends on if the player has completed Second dream or not.

AutoPhox Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Yeah, the beacons areva neat concept, but I couldn't bring myself to pay for it. I don't want to pay 200 ducats for a molten impact when I can get my 50th one from the starchart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaa Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I like that you can force it actually, gives you a CHANCE at getting something you need at least. The other option is to farm all of the bosses and wait for him which could be multiple times a day to a week from now unfortunately. Coming from someone who literally has despair and regular gorgon as the only weapons left to level....i love that i can stack my odds a little bit at least. With that said though, the drop table really needs to be raised. Almost 3 years of playing this game and still missing a weapon from something in the game since like day 1 is a bit crappy.

phoenix1992 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 They fixed his drop table. If anyone was not aware - shadow stalky was missing drops and it was fixed in 18.5... After that baro did not bring us beacons. Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk what was "fixed", met him several times after 18.5, it's either 1.nothing. 2.mods. 3.dread. One time it was mantis something actually but still no freaking despair.

(PSN)Gerbizzzle Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I've only been playing since October and he's only dropped Blind Justice. If not that, then a "rare" resource. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
