Also it's not my fault my gear out-damages most other tennos out there. Perhaps it's a selfsteem issue for their niduses not taking the spotlight (? I really hope this trend will calm down as the Nidus fever subsides. The least thing I need in my fav game is a community as toxic and whiny as certain other games out there.

KirukaChan Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I've played with a few Nidus players in pugs and have never seen this. Either you've been unlucky or I've been lucky. My recommendation next time this happens to you is to say, "You're not the boss of me." That's what I plan on doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelkor Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Tell them to stop building for negative range and to actually play. I have no trouble building stacks. I've also never run into these types of players. Edited January 10, 2017 by Gelkor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mvtty Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Mode salt : ON Well Nidus have a st*pid gameplay just like Ember or Mirage, so people who "main" him (LOL) musn't have a IQ < 60... I met a couple of those Nidus : "HEEEEEEEEEEEEE THAT MY KILL" "My stacks !" Blablabla... I'm bored of Nidus, but as I said before, let the time kill him step by step, and it's already work, we have less Nidus those time.

Beggining Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Don't Nidus 2nd ability pull enemies into one spot? It's perfect for gathering stacks. Well, unless they play with a negative range build, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woah, thanks for telling me, I was starting to wonder why suddenly I can't use sentences with more than 12 words. With love, a Nidus user who doesn't NEED to build 100 stacks on every damn mission in the first minute, especially Exterminate/Capture/Sabotage, where 10 stacks are all is "needed" so PROBABLY won't bother anyone for stealing kills. EDIT: Serious answer to OP: Nidus is not only the flavor of the week, he's also one of the most powerful frames, anyone reading the forums or watching youtube videos will assume he's a godframe in any situation, anytime, against any enemy, which is clearly not true; this will lead to the URGE to build up stacks to 100 on every mission, which is a pain not only for teammates but for Nidus players as well because they can't focus on normal gameplay and enjoy the frame. Nidus is perfectly designed, meaning that if you're struggling to build stacks(assuming your build is not terrible), it probably means you're NOT supposed to, because the mission just won't allow you to, otherwise Nidus would be the best option anywhere in the game. Endless missions+Mobile Defense are those missions where you'll eventually build up 100 stacks, no matter what, it's what Nidus is designed for so you don't even need to focus too much on doing it, it'll just come naturally; short missions on the other side just won't give you the chance to build up so many stacks, so if every Nidus user would start to accept that and lower the goals(say, 10/20 stacks) just to increase the damage, get the badass look and have a couple of free revives, every player would definitely benefit from that.

By "out damages" are you perhaps speaking of Tonkor, Simular, or Telos Boltace?

Well, unless they play with a negative range build, of course. Also makes it really easy for others to take all your kills. Especially when everyone runs with a simulor or some other AoE weapon. Sure, it's annoying when it happens to me but I just remember that if we're staying for much longer in the run, I'll eventually have my time in the limelight lmao.

Gran_Maw_Sigmus Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 To be fair, it's kinda a $&*^ move to shoot your Tonker/Simulor/etc. into my Larva full of enemies before I can hit it once or twice with my 1, but I keep quiet about it. Other than that, ignore 'em. If they can't keep up, too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mirage+simulor nonsense; My most used frame is Nek as most of the time that much dmg isn't needed really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't fix crappy behaviour. Guess what, there was not one but two niduses and they teamed up to throw their poison at me. Obviously made good use of /i This happened to me a few times, more in the first days of release but at least once a day or so since then. As I said before I'm not going directly for their targets, is it my fault that primed reach sweeps rooms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SarcasticShepard Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Why would anybody want to build negative range on Mr Space Herpes? Building some range in with a power strength build is what I've found to work best. Plus you kill everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praxxor Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I haven't ever seen this, I play as Nidus myself and I haven't complained either. On a similar note I haven't ever seen anyone complain about their melee combos going down because of my kills either. You must be exaggerating right now.

Magnar21 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Nidus, being a snowballing frame, sometimes does have trouble getting rolling. I play for +dmg and range, and don't always have enough enemies clustered to get rolling. Had a mesa in a Neo defense, and the mesa just spammed peacemaker, so it was 14 minutes in before I got over 10 stacks. Granted, I was playing defensively near the pod, but still. Once I got Zenurik up, it was a lot easier, but the argument is still valid. Now, your Nidus player should've spent more time explaining and less time whining. Most of the time when i'm playing Nidus, I just be quiet and let them do whatever. Let them flex their Tonkors and their Saryns. Going forward, if a Nidus does ask you to slow down and let them get stacks, it wouldn't hurt to let them get their stacks up. One good group in their Larva is enough to get to 10 or so, and start rolling. Not saying you have to, but it wouldn't hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncaIroh Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Most people don't know that parasitic link allows virulence to also originate from the linked enemy/friend. (it wasn't in the vids or the description of the power at all.) Also: just ignore them. If someone was taking all the kills, I just stop and soak up all the shared affinity. :p Edited January 10, 2017 by TonyWong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sziklamester Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I played as Nidus but never had problems with stacking. I feel you were just unlucky with those peoples but the majority of nidus players already know how to make themself stronger. Also a fact the nidus can be as annoying as ember with her ulti build. All missions what I did with nidus I killed the most assisted the most and out damaged everyone. The kills itself not problems the problem lays on who kills. Everyone who play this game want to kill and that can be frustrating if you cannot kill unless it is the goal not to kill or just loot. Nidus players whom arguing they arguing because they want to build the minimum 10 stack and become more and more stronger. Ember on ow levels are terrible equal with saryn and nova. There are frames whom efficient in killing on a certain levels and the low level players or new players want also kill and their first experience they feel themself useless. This is more complex thing and this is exist from the beginning because the only one reason to play is kill and progress. Many peopples takes it serious some don't care about it so the whole community react differ for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityOfTrees Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 If they don't let me build stacks, I just build one stack and link with the ally that would benefit most from power str, while also granting maximum damage resistance. No one ever complains (and I do always stay silent.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceheart125 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I have a max duration build, I cast his link on an ally that's killing, and spam in the direction of mobs. 80% str is no biggie, I can hit midlevel mobs more than once sometimes, I am happy at 10, maybe 15.
