Aigloblam Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I don't go into the hall but I am usually more on one side of the map vs right by the cryopod. I'm there to thin out the oncoming swarm so they never get a chance to get close to the cryopod though I guess it's not as useful nowadays since no one really goes past round 10 Wave 10 is not even worth it. We (my clan) only even THINK about leaving at wave 20, we use waves 19 and 20 to decide if we are going farther, and by how much. Its really rare for us to leave any earlier. Reward has to be really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aigloblam Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I am fine if they do so. I will just hang around and alt tab and rush to pick up mods. Then here comes the AFK whine thread. Hurr durr I got hundreds of kills while this guy just stands on top of the pod casting snowglobe or something, he must be afk ! When i'm not hunting, as in when im not playing Excalibur, I play Frost Prime and thats exactly what i do, I stand ON the pod, Keep snow globe up and going, but i also snipe as many things as i can from there while i do it. I get Bottom of the kills every time, but we also go 10 waves farther when i do so. Means that nobody else has to worry about the pod, I've got it covered.If shlt gets bad, i drop a waypoint at the pod. Everyone thinks its a Mod so they come running, see that im in trouble, and help out. Once they have that under control, Thats when i explain to them that we need them to stick closer to the pod. Granted its not amazingly efficient, but it works no matter who you are playing with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aigloblam Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 And every one of you who says they just let the pod die, Are acting like children. Yes i agree that its being selfish and rude to just ignore the party and go kill on your own, But the way to answer it isnt to just stand aside and watch the pod die. That is even more childish than the first person. You are saying "If you won't play my way, you wont play at all". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixty5 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Assuming you are playing Xini, standing in the middle of the map will let you get xp from pretty much the entire map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im fine with Hunters....but thats just stupid. Nobody should be more than 80m or so from the pod, Unless its the Catwalks map on like Valefor or something. Thats the ONLY time that its ok.

luanle21 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) If people decide to run out of xp range to kill stuff I just let the pod die. They'll learn eventually. agree me i usually say stay in pod if they listen i stay outside snipe a bit on the 3 boxes thinger (Xini) while i let the 3 take the main crap since im best when im not geting swarm by enemy and can pick off the higher priorty targets now if they dont listen i go up to top floor and say im afking till they stay at the pod and listen also if ther downed i just Teabag them and way away at half way timer and make them suffer Edited June 14, 2013 by luanle21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyris Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 The exp works kinda like how it did in phantasy star universe/pso2, you have to be within a certan range of the killer to get exp, too far and you get nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrunkTanium Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Did a mobile defense today, online. I was the only one at the core ROOM. Nobody was on the same tile as me. Problem is some of us can wipe that place so fast as there is not enough mobs since U8 to keep us from getting board. It used to be they all came from a few points too and now they are spread out and some never enter the room with the pod. Believe it or not the faster you kill things on that map the more will spawn. So it might not help my team but there is simply not enough things entering the center room to give a maxed out group enough things to shoot at.

Although today everyone chilled around the pod for most of my games. If someone does runs off, you can just politely ask them to come back closer. Usually they will :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spawning in this game does not work on a kill by kill basis. As been said in this topic, if you're close to a spawn point dudes will in fact spawn less. This is why grouping together on your defense object nets more spawns (and therefore exp) over all. But you keep on keeping on, I'm sure the scoreboard appreciates it.

I never seen any difference in spawn, the only difference is that there isnt waiting in for the enemies to group up as they eventually get close to the pod area.

Nayru Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Is camping the spawns really worse than everyone insisting on doing another 5 waves because there's a 'bad' reward? It takes longer and is less conductive to getting the right reward, and a huge waste of fusion power in the event they fix the unranked mods/elemental mods in general.

Kalaith Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 tbh never have had someone say to stay near the pod for exp, I might take it into account, not really 1-15, but I guess by then im usually back near the pod anyways so maybe a moot point to close to the pod and you have no ability to pullback if things go bad I tend to be a little reckless, but I revive others more often then myself and I haven't used more then 1 revive a week for quite awhile.

SnokyoDrift Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Rant inc. I love infested defense. So much so I have almost 80k infested killed out of 120k. It is all I do. I run with clan mates whenever I can. I play early hours of the morning and alot of my clan is offline. So, I have to pug alot. All this to say, if you have the desire to try to clear the map of all infested in one swipe, do it near the cryo so your group can share in the xp. I get sick of players going so deep into the hall that they are practically on the spawn points. Have some respect for your fellow player and bring it back to us just a little bit please. I think alot of players either dont know there is shared xp, or dont realise there is a range to it. I wish this was made available to the player base via tutorial or an in game guide or something. Am I alone on this or is everyone oblivious to shared xp? /end rant Ps. Mark mods and blue mats. Pss. <3 Number 1 reason for a banlist right here. These kinds of players rank below AFK leechers in terms of desirability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xection9 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) well if they dies i just simply don't res them, it's quite annoying really oyea why most banshee players i see in public games tend to do defense heroes? too much dumb banshee players i guess Edited June 14, 2013 by xection9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venus-Venera Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 not only banshees. most mags are noobs too. of course there are some good mags. but nearly everyone is in clan group. defense is pointless atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Pink Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) i hate when people do that then when they die they throw a hissy fit because you're to busy protecting the pod instead of reviving them, objective of the mission anyone? also i find it odd that most peoples (that run off to visit the infested in spawn) bookmark key for resources/mods doesn't work, glitch maybe? (i know the net doesn't convey sarcasm well...but...really? is your bookmark key broken?) anyone here wants to add me, i usually play vauban and sit my butt practically on the pod.

Alohoe Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 Sorry dude, Im not going to fight through 35 waves for yet another Hellfire. Just not going to happen. Yes, hellfire is still out there but I have seen tier 2 and 3 void keys, thunderbolt, multishot, and many other solid rewards. The system is way better now.

The system is way better now. I can totally agree that they are better, but due to some bad luck, i've seen just as many Hellfires as i did before. I've seen less from my friend's game...So i know they aren't as pervasive as before, but my luck is horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly what i've been trying to tell people. If you stay close to the pod, There is no fallback plan, No kite ability while you run back to the pod. If you stay too close, One mistake and its all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
