Fretless Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 That's what I feel like I'm playing when pugging the missions. Selecting which corruptor to bring on the mission is a guessing game of what I think the other players might choose, and the penalty for guessing incorrectly is an extended defense timer and reduced contribution points. Not a particularly pug-friendly event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firetempest Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 (edited) You are almost guarantied 5 points. Someone will always have a stable. You bring the Alpha or beta. You have a 50/50 to get 10 points. (Its actually better odds, but realistically...there is that one that never has anything) 25 missions optimum with clan or friends, or 50ish missions pug. It's not that bad of a cliff. Edited July 27, 2013 by Firetempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trollin4ThePrimes Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 At this point of time in the game DE is really trying to push social and clan aspects. If anything look on recruiting channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a 50/50 to get 10 points. (most of the time)Empasis mine. I've been on a couple of teams already where nobody had a stable. Like I said, rock paper scissors. Players think someone else is bound to have the stable so they choose alpha or beta, and the result is a team with only alphas and betas. Actually, now that I think about it, the event may be less RPS and more of a Prisoner's Dilemma. I haven't done the math, but I may be better off bringing a stable to pugs. *edit: fixed link* Edited July 27, 2013 by Fretless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The odds of all 4 having only alpha, or only beta is pretty slim. Right up with everyone not having anything expecting to leech off each other. It happens, but its not that common. More so the first day since people wont understand the bomb farming concept. Edited July 27, 2013 by Firetempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlebbyMilliner Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 At this point of time in the game DE is really trying to push social and clan aspects. If anything look on recruiting channel. That's what I did. A guy on there was asking "anyone have any betas", so I whispered back. We got at least 3 together for 3 runs with a stable, alpha, and beta.

Fate_6 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 What's best is to just run with the same group multiple times so you can coordinate. The first run might be sub-optimal but after that it should get good. I just got like 60 points in 6 runs with the same PuG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodKitten Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 if you see me, i likely to have stables, dont get much alphas or betas >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayden11121 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I ran into 3 games with all alphas. Since then, I went into recruiting channel and founjd people to keep rolling with. Now, I have 3 new friends, and 252 points :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bro-dog Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 dumb event, the three things are just needlessly complex and don't really do anything other than randomize the points you get to an extent. but it's easy to reach the top tier so i don't really care, good job i guess. certainly better than the last event. baby steps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last event: Kill 20 Idle Radar Jammers Saying this one is dumb is pessimistic when they have made great improvements. Although still a grind, I found it a bit fun at first, and only got burnt out around the second half. But for the reward, of using any gun I want and not running out of ammo, I am fine with it.

Wesgile Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 courtesy is dead. people don't even bring corruptors when they join online sessions. and bringing all sorts of low level stuff to leech on. have to wonder is this really what we as people have degraded to. #lostfaithinhumanity gtg browse imgur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WARGAMES Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 better to have 2 other people, farm a bit and spam while round-robin the usage of corruptors. I was gonna find random people then I saw how fast it was going when a few I know got on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firetempest Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 uh, I'm pretty sure you have to equip a corrupter to go on the mission. Nope, forgot to equip a new corrupter after my last alpha and I leached off the next group unintentionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seraphyx Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 (edited) There's really no reason to join a completely random group unless you just don't care about your time or "wasting" corruptors. It's extremely easy to find a group of random people. Just say you have beta/alpha and you're looking for a group and you will more than likely get invited to one within a minute or so. I've been in two different groups and I've accumulated 150ish points. It's very easy, you shouldn't be clicking on the mission without being in a squad unless you just don't care like I mentioned.
