Brynslustafir Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) I've been trying all evening to make it to 1 hour to finally fight the legendary John Prodman, and... Well... It's frustrating. Very, very frustrating. Every single time my team collapes at around 25-30 minutes. Even with the best Banshee Sonar Build, a constant EV, good DPS. Seemingly no matter what I do it becomes near impossible to kill enemies fast enough to spawn enough points to keep the timer up, especially when every single point scored by the enemy deducts from your remaining time. I think the rate at which the enemy levels increase needs adjustment. Level 300 is kinda Ludicrous, and at that point it's just a 1-Shot bullet hell. It's just not fun. Make the enemy levels scale maybe half as fast to make this less of a slog and significantly more manageable, and perhaps this won't feel so rough. It is done. It took all day and my fingers hurt but I have a shiny autographed glamour-shot of the crewman who killed Phorid. Why do I do this to myself...

artemisfortune Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Isn't that the point of endurance? Why're you trying to go so long anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninjadeath721 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 i was going to try to get to 1 hour in the index endurance, but then I realized "all this...for a poster" I decided a simple poster wasn't worth an hour of my life so I didn't even bother starting the index at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cob_metallica Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 hey , we did it with rhino (spam stomp for CC), trinity EV, banshee sonar and ash with teleport augment + covert lethality to one shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celaeon_ Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 covert lethality fatal teleport ash is the best point tool in the index, in the squad i was in we never lost traction even at the hour mark we were still slowly gaining more time than we were losing.

Ranchpig Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Bonus points is the only way to make this really happen. Bring a damage immune frame to carry them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewarette Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) We did it this weekend and yes, it may be challenging but that's not really funny. It's more like "learning how to cheese the game 101". I went as Trinity max power some efficiency no duration without EV augment (because who cares about shield when you get randomly OS'd after 5 minutes), colleagues were one Rhino stomp, Sonar Banshee and Ash I think (Edit : or was it Nova). That was... a spamfest. Once enemies reach level 200, everything one-hits you or not far, so I just had to spam 2 to kill everything (i still don't understand how EV can deal 2M damage but why not), 3 and 4 every 2 seconds to try to save my life or my colleagues', and we did it. Just in case someone wants to give a try : don't stack coins. You have the "bonus points" when you bring a lot at the same time, but the timer will only increase with the coins you bring back, not the bonus. 5 coins will award your team 7 points (2 bonus) but only 50 seconds, not 70. So once you reached the spamfest-point, just bring the points one by one. This nightmarish Raptor screwed our 2 first tries as he scored way too much because of our greediness.

Didn't add a John Prodman codex entry though :(. On 1/19/2017 at 7:22 PM, Plasmaface said: In case you thought it was just a Rumor. I have my poster in the same spot o.O!
