Stilgar Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 So, what the point of running 20+ deffence waves now? You will have that same mods, same loot at wave 20 and at wave 50. Expirience? doh....It's much faster and easer to farm middle level mobile deffence like Kappa for exp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neruell Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Really none. There is in my opinion more sense in going only 5 waves because of the new map with new crates around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alighierian Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 the main reason why I don't like going high level defence that much: the wave rewards have too much chance to be ****... if it was set that at wave 15+ you'd be almost guaranteed to find better stuff and the best stuff at wave 25+, ok, then I might bother as it stands now, I use kappa for xp and general mod / fusion core farming (to upgrade other mods). with a good party (like I had about 30mins ago) it was very easy to get 20k xp on a weapon I didn't even use. mid tier difficulty 5 mobile defence is so much better than most defence missions. more mobs, they don't level up, there's no downtime after you've killed a certain amount of enemies (they just keep coming until the timer finishes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveC Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I'd like to see one of the next weekend challenges be prizes for defence missions. Wave 20, 30 40 50 60 and 70. Plus prize for Top 10 teams, because I am sure out these some people with get beyond 80. It would be fun and challenging e.g. narcissus at wave 65, the enemies level is 358 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobolyra Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 After wave 25 you should have a 50% chance at the mods everyone wants... MULTISHOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongDraw Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 How about an event where every 2 hours if the wave is 100% completed, the next wave set goes another 5 waves more than the last. This would get away from the rusher style event rushing and introduce some real excitement and some actual possibility of failing on event missions.

F1ddleD1ddle Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 High level defence waves are the hardest challenge in the game currently. It's fun to try and get as far as you can with a group of good friends, My aim to reach that elusive wave 100 and get into the triple wave digits, plus its such a great way tp level up weapons. Wave 50 on xini is enough to give you about 15 levels on a weapon from starting at around 10, warframes about 4 - 5 levels. Also the fact that you get all those loverly fusion cores to improve your mods with are very useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumwald Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 man I can't imagine getting to 100. wave 17 on xini is the hardest wave I've gotten to. gotten to 25 on easier defense missions. Was still easy but we were farming so took the reward at 25 But yea, defense missions are the best challenge in game. totally fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparrohawk Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I'll keep going if I don't like the rewards that have come up thus far. Or if there's some particular loot (Samples, for instance) that I'm farming for. Or if you have a really good group that could conceivably murder high-level waves (e.g. me in my Rhino, with 2 Novas and a Vauban). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liavalenth Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 The only reason I can think of is that more enemies spawn in a smaller amount of time. If you have a good enough team that means more XP, credits, and mods in a shorter amount of time. If you are just after the 5-wave rewards there is no reason.

Operator_Error Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 My only objection to proceeding beyond the standard end-point of a defense map is that I'll retain NONE of my rewards, if I at any point fail the mission. So, let's say I'm playing a defense mission with my girlfriend, and her wifi craps out on wave 14... Awww... too bad, I got swarmed, couldn't defend the objective solo, and I get none of what I've managed to accumulate. I earned it, and logically, I should be able to keep it, for having gotten as far as I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruzu Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 A lot of people do wave 20+ defense for experience. It's as simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MECT_HET Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 'cause tier 3 rewards are all starting after the 15th wave. An if you're able to clutch to the 50th level - it's pretty faster to leveling and looting than running kappa and all another midlevel junk.

I keep all my drops that I had from the previous extraction option but lose the drops from that point on. So if you die at wave 14, you should still have everything you picked up from wave 1-10.

KONAir Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) No, mods have large variance they do not start repeating past 20th wave. I went through 55 waves of xini to get my Banshee Helm, then it dropped at wave 15 same day, all repeatition I had was Barrel Diffusion streak at waves 10-15-20-25 then nothing else repeated.

I made wave 13 a little while back with the girlfriend, and we had NONE of our collected drops, when we finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
