JesterTheNight Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 850 for all the Ergo Glast rewards and 40 to fight the final Ambulas for the Supra Vandal. THAT'S 148.3 AMBULAS KILLS! And that's counting only lv 40+ Ambulas, since they drop 6 animo beacons. I'm not one to complain about grind... but this is kinda too grindy. Of course I'll grind all the animo required, but man is this event boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaotyke Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Well... I will want only some of those. Remember that the Weapon Augs will be comming for the respective syndicates later, so you can hold back on getting those or getting only the ones that you will use. And... Aviator? Really?

Cause of course Ergo having mods from other syndicates is pretty weird but, what's the point then to have them in this event if they're gonna be added to syndicates at a later time? Anyway, I hope that's the case, since it would reduce the grind quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I'll grind all the animo required, but man is this event boring. What's the big deal? If you do a 20 wave defense on Outer Terminus you should easily get a little over 40 beacons. 890 / 40 = 22.5. But since you will actually be getting a little over 40, we can round that down to 22. So 22 runs of 20 wave defense on outer terminus to get every single reward from the event, all the early access mods, the exclusive gun and all the cosmetics, and you don't have to battle with rng one bit to get any of it. You know you will get exactly what you want. What is the problem here? Most people don't want or need everything, but if you are really a completionist, it is perfectly in the realm of possibility for even a fairly casual player to get it all. The event runs an entire WEEK. Break that up over the course of a week that is about 3 defense missions per day to wave 20, in order to get it all. And with no rng. I hate to say this. But we should be thanking them here and hoping they do this again in the future. When have we ever had it so easy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When have we ever had it so easy? 20 waves is like 21 animo, definitely not 40, believe me, I did a 50 waves run on Outer Terminus and got only 102 animo. But yeah, this is just the first day, I got 358 animo, but that was hours and hours in OT. And before we start talking about me having bad luck or you being lucky, let me just say, RNG. Hope they don't do this again in the future, actually scrap that, I hope they DO this, but better, prices are too high and only one Ambulas per dropship isn't enough (I'm fine with only 6 animo per Ambulas).

If I were getting animo as slow as you are I would feel the same way. Were you doing it earlier? Because I did the majority of my runs after the hotfix, and I feel like since the hotfix the rate they appear has sped up. I was consistently getting them to appear often enough that I was getting 40+ on outer terminus after 20 waves. However, other question. Were you using Speed Nova in your team, or otherwise finishing waves fast? Because it isn't how many waves you do that they appear, they just seem too appear after a set amount of minutes. So if you are going through 20 waves super fast, that would be why you are getting different numbers than me. It seems they appear every four minutes or so, but I could be wrong about the exact amount of time, I haven't been using a stopwatch. I can tell you it really didn't take me much more than an hour and a half to get almost 200 beacons. By my estimates, it shouldn't take much more than about eight hours of solid gameplay to get all of the rewards, and you don't have any wasted time because there is no rng for this one.

No, only after the hotfix. No speed nova, but waves go pretty fast with Mesa. And yeah, I came to your same conclusion it's around 4 mins per spwan, only 1 per wave. That's 593.2 minutes to get all the kills required. How you got 200 animo in 1:30 hour I dunno, I've been grinding for more than 5 hours...

Hmmm, I'll have to look at my calculations again later and compare them to yours, but they really aren't far off from what you are saying. You are talking about it taking almost ten hours. My calculation was that it would take a little over eight hours or so of really dedicated farming. Perhaps I am slightly under reporting how long it took me to get 189, how many I have farmed so far, I didn't put it on a timer. But IMO less than ten hours to get every single reward with no rng, when you have a whole week to do it, isn't really unreasonable.

It requires a bit of dedication, but to be completely honest, we're just getting most of these Rewards early anyways. It's not exactly unfair when this isn't the only chance we'll have to get most of these Mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, no complaints about that, I said I'd do it regardless of how brutal the grind is. I'm fine with this. But still, it's not good event design if to have everything you gotta do the same thing for roughly 10 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The event doesn't really prevent you from running other missions on Pluto though... You're not forced to run a defence, it's just more efficient.

We get wave after wave of enemy, and Ambulas that pops up to spice things up every now and again. I feel it actually pumps up the mode a bit more and makes it more entertaining, so I don't mind having to grind that for ten hours. Besides, we also have Intercept and quite a few other Endless-esque missions at our disposal, so eyy, whatever floats your boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kusungphak Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I actually dozed on my keyboard last night with an Ember. Woke up to find myself running into a wall as my finger was still pressed to W. Called it a day and went to sleep as I collected 250 and bought the 2 mods that I wanted and the noggle. The rest of the mods don't interest me at all. I would rather buy multiples of Sacrifice and Aviator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeoxz Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I only hope that Ambula's dropships remain after the event, maybe just in Pluto for the fight, or maybe everywhere but with low chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrBorris Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I wish they would at least buff the cap on how many beacons they drop, like have them drop 10 at level 80 or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravitus123 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Pretty much all the mods you can buy for beacons are crap anyway might as well not bother with anything except the supra vandal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myscho Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Yeah, looks like a big number but atleast you can buy what you want and not deal with RNG (Kela fight). I personally go only for - badge, emblem, noggle, fulmination, aviator and sacrifice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
