Have had a similar glitch twice over the past two days on the PC version doing Void Extermination missions. First time it happened, the enemies did not spawn until the very last 3 rooms. It was ok because at least they still continuously spawned. The second time, the enemies could only spawn in the extraction room. There were almost 200 enemies and only 8-10 spawned every minute or 2 and you had to leave the spawning area everytime. Our group just left after a while and made a new one.

So much this. Heavy Gunners and Bombards aren't exactly a fun time, either, whereas Corpus have, what? Leech Ospreys and I guess Fusion Moas in large swarms, as far as super-annoying foes go?

Well, dangerous foes yes.

If a bunch of Anti Moas are around, have fun getting juggled endlessly :shepicide:

I've seen some stuff that would really make you say "like what?"
Has anyone else been having major crashing issues lately? I've tried about 5 times to run some mobile defense in order to get oxium and I've crashed every time, anyone have some idea how I could fix this?

So I grabbed a deathcube and leveled it up to 30 to get the trophy, got no trophy. WTF?


I have a carrier, it was already 30 when the patch came out, hence buying deathcube and leveling it up for the trophy.

Get a Carrier, they add so much utility and peace-of-mind that they're almost always better.

Newbie pubbies are so terrible they can become endearing. Like when you're clearing out infestation with an Ignis and then there's this Excalibur newbie realizing his MK1 Braton and Lato not doing enough damage so he's just using Slash Dash and trying to chop up the infested. He'd get swarmed because he's way in the front while chopping furiously and I'd clear everything around him in 0.5 seconds. Then he'd run off again to chop some more dudes. It's like :downs: going "I'm helping!"

I didn't notice her telling me about the fire. The ice warning I can understand, because it's less obvious that it cuts your shields in half. The fire warning...thanks Lotus.

HEY! I was that pubbie once. :colbert:

Anyway, few things. For the curious / new, here's a goon LP of Dark Sector.. The game starts off slow, but the wackiness creeps in reasonably quickly.

Also, what's the best way to get a trade going on PS4? Just toss what cool stuffs I got in chat and see if anyone is interested? I've got like 3 Point Blank mods, but no Serration yet, and it's starting to show in regular missions. :negative:

I fully accept BF4 is a buggy as gently caress game, the fun makes up for it, but a game which has nothing to do with it getting hosed up is a bit weird. It wasn't a partial overwrite or something, it was literally just gone but thankfully my save data still exists, so my stuff is still there.

I hope. Still there thankfully. :toot:

THE TAIL THAT BURNS TWICE AS BRIGHT...


Not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but if you are using a Held-type trigger weapon (such as Synapse) and have a smooth mouse wheel (no ticks, just a loose wheel) you can bind wheel up/down as another fire key then flick the wheel and just blast everything to gently caress faster than holding it.

Note that this will also blast your ammo reserve to gently caress but :v:

e: it is only fair to point out that it will blast your eardrums as well, the noise (at least with the Synapse) is just god-awful

drat, I only played this game a few hours a few months ago. But now I am confused as hell. I logged in and whenever I click my name up top, it says im ready to be tested for the next rank. But when I click yes, it says I have to wait 24 hours. The gently caress? Should I just do some random maps instead?

Sometimes it bugs out. You won't lose out on any XP so just try again when the timer is up.

Thanks! That's basically all I was concerned about.

Is it best to just play with pubbies at a low level (my mag is 8 I guess?) or should I look to get into the clan and play with goons early on? I don't really understand what the hell I'm doing yet in this game so I don't want to suck up actual groups.

Don't worry it's easy for one person to do enough DPS to solo a mission, outside of long survival or T3 defense.

We just had a Stalker that dropped absolutely nothing. Disappointed.

e: Also, for the record, the Detron is absolutely fantastic for soloing some of the phased bosses like Lech, if you need parts from them. The Radiation proc will make them just walk around idly for a few seconds, giving you ample time to nail weak spots with your main weapon.

I still can't get the drat Harvester to spawn to drop a Detron reciever. :argh:

Also whoever designed the Oxium Ospreys is a loving rear end in a top hat; turns out if you damage them a little bit but don't finish them off in time they'll suicide charge you and when they explode like that they don't drop any oxium. If I didn't know about running mobdef to get loads of Oxium I'd be tearing my hair out right now.

The first time I saw the Harvester he dropped the receiver. :smug:

It was also in a mission that was started before I could put on non-terrible gear, and killing it started the defense mission. The two of us in the mission had to frantically grab people from the clan because it probably wouldn't have gone so hot.

Just dodge them when they charge. You can roll sideways by tapping sprint/roll while holding to the side while aiming.

It's more everyone wants to fight the Harvester than anything else. I've only fought him once, and that was before he had guaranteed drops.

It's really just a combination of events. With equal rewards, siding with the grineer gets you the most bang for your buck. You fight less deadly enemies (nothing even comes close to heavy grineers on corpus), you work towards an Alad V mark for farming the detron, and you can get oxium ospreys for this dumb event. Sure, siding with the grineer just means more of the map is populated by the assholes that are grineer, but if you've unlocked the map to do the invasion, you really don't give a poo poo. It just messes with the people who are farming specific stuff.

At least Xini is still giving infestation defense rewards so barrel diffusion is still a possibility (seriously, loving seekers, t3 infested defense, and maybe void storage boxes? those are the only places they want that to drop?).
