(PSN)Mofojokers Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) I actually like the way it's done for the Stalker cheerleaders.

(XBOX)DShinShoryuken Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Then.....don't do it. Here is the thing about video games- if you are not enjoying them, you do not HAVE to keep playing. Put the controller down, go do something else, and come back when you want to have fun. This is not a job that must be done. This is a choice. People choose Destiny over WARFRAME. People choose Mario over WARFRAME. Go do something that is not on your mind as having "garbage" in it. There are 52 weeks in a year and the fact that DE has decided for this weekend to give the ACOLYTES another run is not just because they know ylu detest it. They are doing it for the game to be played. They are doing it for all those that got into the game AFTER the last time the ACOLYTES ran free. I wouldn't even be surprised if they did it to stop hoggers from charging 1000 plat for 1 mod. Garbage? No sir, this is not garbage. It is a game that you jave a choice of playing or not. Choose or walk away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheChaotic1 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 It's not rng on rng, it's just one rng with gaps in availability. Unless you mean you haven't unlocked all the nodes or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, their spawn is granted if you actually explore instead of a chance to be there or not like the other stalker type enemies, 1 less RNG gate.

Acersecomic Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 It's a community effort. If you don't feel like searching for it, wait until the others find him and then hunt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MystMan Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) If you're in a hurry, then get Volt and Speed through the map. Exploration can already be done very fast by bulletjumping around the place like everybody does in non-endless missions. With Volt's speed, it's a piece of cake. Or with an invisible Loki / Rifting Limbo where nobody bothers you. Searching for them in a map is like 5 min work or less. That's rotation A fast.

You say it needs work, but you have yet to say how it needs work. 'Cause it seems to work fine for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrolleySnatcher Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 This game is based so much on rng and playing over and over untill you get that one mod or that one part you needed. if you cant be bothered with this i dont see why you play this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)HaterReplicator Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I wish they would bring back the actual event, with Alad V, so the new folks can experience it. That is my only gripe about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffysbeans Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 It's not really fun. I love grindy games, but this takes the grind out and replaces it with waiting. I'll run relics over and over and over and over until I get what I want, but I can't do that here. I get maybe 3 runs every 30 minutes, and then I just have to sit and wait or I'll miss out if I'm in a mission. If I want to sit and grind a boss, just let me do it, don't make me wait for it to pop up for 3 minutes only to have it leave again. This also sucks super hard for anyone who can't play 24/7.

Zepp_ Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Goodness, enough with the "I hate working for things unless it's the type of work I want to do so change it all to the type I want" threads. If you don't like an event, don't participate. If you still want the rewards, then you are being unreasonable. Not every part of the game will be for you.

Ixxolos Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 After more than a few runs at the Acolyte's the only significant change i can see is as follows. If you start an Acolyte location mission, after it has spawned in and spawned out it drops the Unidentified mod. However if it disappears from the node on the main Nav screen before you finish the mission you will get no reward (Acolyte Mod) at all. I have lost count of how many times a Located Acolyte defense to wave 5 or survival to 5 min node has failed to give any reward at the end of the mission even though it dropped during the run.

(PSN)Tactless_Ninja Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Original event had every acolyte, then the Nekros Acolyte defense mission which was where you could farm the mods unrestricted. Their first return it cycled through every acolyte except Nekros. This time seems to be more of the same except without the Alad V commentary.
