(PSN)ElementalLeaf Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Before you get all triggered, this is my subjective personal opinion. And I'm not creating this post to complain for the sake of complaining. The reason I think it's boring is because it just came out for the ps4, and it says I need to get 2000 pacifists to evacuation. 2000. [Well, for the end tier reward anyways] It's not HARD, it's just TEDIOUS, and takes a long time. Even if I paced myself and went at a rate of 200 a day, it would take 10 days to do. And that's with external responsibilities. But the event lasts for only 7 days. I just got my first 75 (at a rate of about 25-30 survivors per mission) pacifists saved. I was really bored and I don't want to do any more right now, but because of the time constraint I can't just "come back to this later" either at my leisure and I need at least 300 a day, every day, for the entire week. Does anyone know of any tips or tricks to make this faster or more efficient. As it is I'm [literally] bored to tears atm and I'm really hoping there's something that makes this process faster and less painful :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)reddragonhrcro Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Don't forget also the other missions, the harder ones give more points.Mission 2 gives 2 points for 1 defector and Mission 3 gives 3 or 4 points for 1 defector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etan-gK Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 you get 4 points for every survivor in the tier 3 mission Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakatchi Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 and guess what, the third mission is the only time your points matter. Everyone on pc thought it was boring too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsukinoki Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 (edited) Thing you're missing here is that there is a multiplier for the higher tiers. The first tier is worth 1 point per rescue, meaning 75 rescues to finish that tier. The second tier is worth 2 points per rescue, meaning 88 rescues to finish that tier. The third tier is worth 4 points per rescue, meaning 438 rescues to finish that tier. That's a grand total of 601 rescues to get to 2000 points. And do note that even if you rescue 100 people in a single mission in the first tier you'll only get 75 points. Excess points from the lower tiers don't count towards the next tier. Not that bad. Especially when a good dedicate squad can easily get 100-200 rescues from the tihrd tier without any problems.

Wyrmius_Prime Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Yes, it was boring. Now suffer like the rest of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja22678 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 You only have to evacuate approximately 619 defectors. For the Ignis Wraith, you just have to rescue 175 to get to the third mission then get a total of 65 in one mission if you were a solo ghost clan to get the Ignis Wraith BP. Or, you could just not do it if you think it's too tedious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicwarrior Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Because everyone loves escort missions, so DE turned them up to 11. Yeah, us on PC suffered too, just unlock the harder tiers and it should make getting 2000 points easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echorion Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Tbh I found the mission pretty cool as an actual mission type. Escort combined with managing all the devices as well. It was super uber tedious though because you were doing it not once or twice, bit like really long runs like 50 damn times. It is just going to make every hate a game mode that might have been alright otherwise lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husla Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Did you think it would be different from the pc version. I'm just wondering if any moon clan on consoles will be able to get highest tier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AEP8FlyBoy Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 It was a big yawn fest after about the first 20 minutes. And I had to spend 6 and a 1/2 hours of my weekend doing it... Such a waste of time for a weapon I think is inferior to the regular Ignis. Since you don't have to mod for crits to get the most out of it.

(PSN)robotwars7 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 it's not that bad if you do it with friends, me and our Clan Leader smashed the first two missions as Nova and Trinity, and made decent progress on the third. reached 100 rescues rather quickly, and was too focused on actually escorting the Kavor to worry about being bored. if you are getting bored though, I always recommend switching loadouts with the randomize button, keeps things exciting for me anyways.

Yep. That's the point I'm at now. And I don't have a dedicated squad (they're at work atm) so it's even more tedious to get properly coordinated. 2 minutes ago, TheyreFood said: Who are you playing Are you doing this with friends or randoms?

I was using Limbo, but turns out you can't just Rift em away to safety and they cant get the health thing while in the rift either, so I just gave up on that. 16 minutes ago, Echorion said: Tbh I found the mission pretty cool as an actual mission type.

(PSN)reddragonhrcro Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 To be honest you only need like 270 points for the weapon itself(total clan score).The 2000 points are for the syandana and chest piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zNightWolfz Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 (edited) it wasn't boring at all i enjoyed doing it .. Pace yourself if u don't like long missions then set a goal and get to tier 3 and do 20 to 30 kavor's per run and you will get your 2000 in no time a few hours not days.. And if you don't want the weapon at all then just don't do it . Wait like people on pc and some of us give the ignis wraith bp away for free as we have the research...

At the time I had created this post, I just had gotten through the first tier. I didn't know about the multipliers at the time.

Tomppak Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I have to disagree with people calling it tedious and boring. You have a few days to do it, so no need to push yourself through it in one sitting. Further, it takes just 1 run to get the first tier, another run to get the second tier. The third one then requires 1750 points, or 438 rescues. That's 3-5 runs, which isn't bad. It's highly recommended to do this in a coordinated group - grab a few clan/alliance members or just hook up with randoms in the recruit chat to coordinate your frames. I'd also recommend setting up TeamSpeak or some other voice communication system. Not only does it make coordination a lot easier, it also speeds up the process since you get to chat with friends/randoms while doing it. Remember to split up to make the mission quicker - we usually ran with 1 dude at C, 1 at B, Trinity and 1 other at A (to heal the defectors as they come to A, and escort them safely to extraction). As the mission itself - I found it very refreshingly challenging. It's not really "difficult" with a good group, but it does require constant attention and coordnation if you want to run it efficiently - I'd much rather rescue defectors than stand still for 20 waves of defense. Do prepare well, since enemy levels keep climbing up and are something like 80+ at around... 130-150 rescues I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)YoungGunn82 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 (edited) It is alittle monotonous IMO. We run Zen Slova, Narrow Ev Trin, Banshee, Frost. Literally stood on A casting Slova 4, Trin was the escort, frost snoglobes per ABC, and Banshee for the damage and quackery. Frost on b, Banshee c. Just sending survivors thru, no problems. That being said we are a Ghost Clan, so the grind won't be too awful. Edited March 20, 2017 by (XB1)FCastle74 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
