tutzdes Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Only one of ten players I met on Akkad used these beams like at all. It doesn't really changes anything. The reason why the people are salty is that another farm map was "modified" to make it less farmable or something. It's a part of trend of DE removing and nerfing any "static farm' places. People like their safe farming locations and are afraid that DE will remove every mission node where you can max equipment in one-two runs without being carried.

I really really miss my sabotage stealth focus farming. That was a nice 30-45m to hit max focus daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running a few Sedna Exterminates maxes focus daily for me in the same amount of time. Loading screens only add about 30 seconds total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that whenever i do exterminates and i get the booster i end up with ridiculous downtime, and whenever im waiting for the booster to pop up, i find all the enemies.

DE just wasted their time doing this XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdr-A Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 To be honest, map exploits should be gotten rid of like that. You weren't even able to be targeted by enemies and could just spam tonkor / simulor shots through it downwards while sitting safely up perched atop of it. Unfortunately already seeing people all going ivara and just using dashwire arrow now to stay above the area. But at least one part of the issue has been solved. Now they can be legitimate targets and get grappled down by ancients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayabusa97 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Looks like the Akkad XP Grinders will have to actually Git Gud instead of camping on beams 8 minutes ago, Cmdr-A said: To be honest, map exploits should be gotten rid of like that.

My thought was the other solution is to change the way the map is set up so theres a boxed in roof that disallows them from being able to go up so high as well. Wouldn't be too much effort.As is I think only ancient infested can harpoon people off of dashwires / ziplines. But i still think the height you can be at still cannot be reached by the common infected chargers / runners / leapers from being able to hack those ranged attacks at you.

(PSN)Eluminary Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) I always used the container when I did this place but lately I've switched over to infested survivals to level Frames naramon galatine prime combo. As for weapons I've always used spy missions. Infested can shoot you too now, that's probably why they did this they probably couldn't shoot you on the beams they probably can on the container now.

The common infested are like snipers with the gunk they spit (I was really high up in the elevator room on a dashwire in a Mot alert trying to hunt stars and they were spitting at me from like 100 meters off the ground from the opposite end of the room). Thankfully the projectiles are somewhat slow and easy to see in a gold and white room but they hurt a lot (a Level 40 charger took out around a quarter of my shields... I had 700 shields) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvus-Sol Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 My issue with the beam removal has nothing to do with how people played, but with the structural integrity of the ship. I mean, they just yanked two clearly load bearing support beams out of place. That's just asking for trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuxie Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 The rewards on Akkad is utter garbage, and there's always this ONE GUY who leaves at round 5, round 10. I don't know why people seriously run on Akkad aside from mildly faster EXP gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
