mwolfamirgaulm Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) So I teamed up with some pretty chill dudes (or chicks :P) and we just did the first two sortie missions with ease (2X frost, 1Xlimbo, 1Xoberon). We had some pretty great synergy. I'm already somewhat of an older player (been here since update 14; 500 hours played) and all the others also were at least vets at the game but even then the bossfight was still kinda challenging. This is the first time in my entire warframe career that a bossfight was actually challenging. The ambula's were not only lvl100 they also had physical resistance if i'm correct which made it not less difficult. And just generally i never had so much fun in fighting a boss, it actually didn't feel like a chore for once to kill bosses to grind for loot and stuff like that. For one time in my entire career of warframe i actually had some real fun in fighting a boss (even more so than a raid boss). It might also have been because i had an amazing squad with really chill and friendly people i don't know but listen to me DE if you see this, We need more challenging bossfights like this!!! Not those kind of raidboss fights where you have to do some complicated and tedious work of standing in certain spots to open the enemy up or needing to do other complicated stuff NO DE we need more of those challenging but SIMPLE bossfights. With other words really strong bosses with hordes of high level mobs that REQUIRE some BASIC teamwork to pull through but without complicated strategies. This was amazingly done in the ambula fight where you had to hack the downed ambulas meanwhile your teammates need to protect you so it won't fail. This is basic teamwork which is not difficult and just fun. The enemies where also quiete though finally i didn't one shot everything (including the boss) for once. The bosses were some decent bullet sponges for once and didn't have those stupid weak points that you only can attack at certain times. I felt like i was playing a real bossfight. So DE if you see this, i absolutely enjoyed this sortie and i really hope for more bosses like this Edited September 27, 2017 by mwolfamirgaulm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypernaut1 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Ambulas is by far the best boss in the game IMO. They got so many elements right about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadeon Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 If they do more sorties then I hope we get a better reward. It was a pain but still had fun doing it one of the best sorties I have had in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadHatHacker Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) Those hectic sorties where even with endgame gear you're rezzing one or two people at a time and everyone's jumping all over the place trying to dodge bullets... Those are the good ones. When it feels difficult enough to be a legitimate challenge without there being a cheap mechanic that one-shots you or shields the boss from damage indefinitely.

Kyronz Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 long, boring, and dull. The biggest challenge is resisting the urge to alt tab out of the game after 5 minutes into the fight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindigoTG Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) Haven't played today's sortie yet, but I already know how the bossfight will go. Nova will one-shot Ambulas with Antimatter, then M-Prime everything else to a standstill, untill Ambulas is taken away. Rinse, repeat. And I'm gonna just stay on a crate, probably doing my stuff outside the game, 'cuz there's nothing else to do in this particular mission.

(PSN)FatMacBrbn Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I like the ambulace as well, but my 4 attempts at the boss sortie was ruined due to inexperience squad mates. Low MR's who I can only guess were not around for the Ambulance event to know how it goes and not get killed so much. So I stopped. Would of broke something had I tried a fifth time or more and got another useless reward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvelous_A Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) That could have been awesome..if it doesn't take 3242839752907853 beacons just to get into the fight. I truly feel bad for the new players who didn't pick Excalibur in prologue coz it'd gonna takes years for them to farm Excalibur from Ambula. I have returned to this game for 3 months but it's the first time I fight Ambula coz I just couldn't get enough beacons. This beacon (and judgement points for Kela) thing is total BS and is nothing more than a nuisance for players.

Of course I can blame them, ignorance doesn't change that. And nope, didn't log-in to play teacher and no reason to believe it's worth it. Maybe it was the weekend, I'd have that kind of patience.

I mean, true it isn't anyone's duty to teach instead of hopping in and play. But with 4 previous tries, you'd thibk talking to them a bit might help (if not them, help you save time) When i was a newbie, i farmed krill for frost without knowing what actually did something and what doesn't since wf dosen't hold hands, and i passed him. A simple "attack the big robot, hack, then defend it" would've worked. But yeah, point taken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entry for Ambulas is higher than the one for Rathuum, and the heavy unit spawns only on Corpus fissure deffences, hence the lack of experience. For reference a level 100 Nox or Jugger can wreck your day (and team) a lot harder than the Ambulas unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it was really fun, just cheesing it would have ruined it, and without your oberon we would definitely have died a lot more so was definitely a whole lot of fun partially thanks to you.

This beacon (and judgement points for Kela) thing is total BS and is nothing more than a nuisance for players. Completely agree here. The worst thing though is even when you're playing on Pluto the drop ship might not bring Ambulas when it shows up. Seriously, I have sat through a 35 wave defense in a fissure mission and never once did the drop ship even drop an Ambulas meaning my team got zero beacons for that when we were hoping to get both beacons and prime parts. There really needs to be a way to guarantee ambulas drops. I mean with Kela at least when you do a Rathuum mission you are going to get points. You don't need to be hoping to spawn into the right mission with the right enemies to get points needed to fight Kela. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So fun :-) These bastards killed my Carrier Prime in the beginning, so I had to use an Ammo Pizza Thanks, I like to use Oberon. Healing, CC and Armor removing with his 4+2 is a nice package. I was lucky with the riven, I just have to find 12 medaillons without getting detected. But one had to do 10minutes survival without killing anyone xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
