Just dodge them when they charge. You can roll sideways by tapping sprint/roll while holding to the side while aiming.
And then they just run into a wall and explode. Or they don't even make it to you and clip some railing/the floor and explode and take their Oxium with them. My point is that it's a hilarious dick move to anyone who doesn't know to grind mobdef for Oxium and thus would be running random Corpus missions to get the ospreys to spawn (which they don't spawn all that often).

It's so stupid that there's nothing that deals with people just standing afk through a mission.

The last guy spawned on the afk guys at the start of the level and to his credit did run his way through the whole thing and caught up in time to get a few kills. The one kill from xxradiancexx I can guarantee was from his sentinel.

Last I heard they're planning to implement a reputation system, like you give good/bad rep to your team after a mission.

Without lag they don't explode unless they hit you.

Is it just me, or does it seem like nobody wants anything but grineer missions? Because honestly, I could live never having to play another grineer mission again.

DE will probably do a major event to reset the absolute Grineer map domination.

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?

I think the game treats the first tutorial thingy as a test.

This could be pretty sweet, but we all know people will abuse the hell out of it unless there are limitations. I like the way Final Fantasy 14 does it. Only members of your dungeon party that aren't part of a premade can give reputation after a mission. So only people that get matched up as individuals.

I'd hate to see it turn into another hugbox like the forums, which removed the dislike button for posts.

Vauban is seriously the most hilarious frame to play as. If someone on your team is standing still for any reason, just point at them and mash 1 until you are out of energy. When they get close to enemies it will kill them and give you the xp (though it all goes to frame, so its bad if you have weapons to level.)

If a player is AFK, you can kite the enemies to them for a kill, but it takes some time/effort to do. Then of course let them bleed out and assume the teabagging pose.

Wow, the Trinity is disgustingly underwhelming. :suicide: It's first two abilites are pretty cool in theory. Health from shooting a dude, and energy radiating from some hapless chump held in midair.

That's when the targetting isn't absolutely useless and keeps buzzing, INVALID TARGET at you 90% of the time. Even while someone is stood still, shooting you in the face, or you're aiming into a infected horde. :argh: Hell. Making the healing / energy radiate from Trinity itself, or some sort of stationary marker would be less of a pain in the rear end.

The worst part though is turning on the player info bars to know when to use Blessing. So many people at rank 0 with no mods equipped in higher level missions. How the hell do you even get past the starter planet without wondering how to slot in those pretty cards you picked up so you have more than 150 shields or HP? :psyduck:

There are two parts to being a good Trinity in pub games. The first is Link and the second is a Galantine.

Infinite Blessing is another option. With the right setup I think you only need two Energy Siphons to do it without pickups.

Yeah. I've already maxed out Link, plus range & duration so I can run around being a dick for longer between refreshing. I'll have to give this a go. Got a Hek cooking right now ( Can't remember what part of my brain ignored the Sobek :psyduck: ) so I can pair them up.

I've got Melee Channel as well. So that's 70+ points of extra damage just getting close enough to swing.

VVVV Yeah. The RNG sucks. A kind goon gave me my first Serration. It's incredible how just that one mod turns a decent weapon into a murder machine. In the meantime I had like 4-5 Point Blank mods.

It is, but in a pub game I'd rather have the capacity to kill over making my useless team invincible and still useless. Besides, Galantine.

Also, I've been playing this game since mods were a thing, and I found my first Flow mod last night.

I hate you, I have done so many Harvester attempts and have spawned him once and only by some weird miracle did we actually get anything, because I was lagging like a motherfucker and he rightfully should killed me at any point during the whole thing.

The game cockteased the hell out of me on the Harvester attempts today by spawning the Stalker instead and then having him not drop any blueprints at all. I need Despair to complete my collection you jerk :argh:

At one point I had the Stalker spawn on me 3 times in a ~24 hour period while trying to get the Harvester to spawn. Each time I was trying to level up a lower level gun too so he kicked my rear end. :argh: I swear the best way to get the Stalker to show up is to switch off to a low level frame/weapon and only then will he show up to murder the hell out of you.

IIRC someone posted earlier listing that as one of the ways to make him show up more often, no joke.

I believe the stalker spawns at a level +15 of your highest level weapon, so if you have lower level stuff it will be easier for your teammates to kill him. He'll probably just murder you instantly if you try to take him on yourself unless he bugs out or something.

This will never happen due to melee weapons being a thing. It's always the Dual Zorens for me.

I'm now convinced that farming orokin cells is the worst part about this game. All the other rare mats are easy to get, but try to get orokin cells in any appreciable number? Nope. I've tried Saturn survival, Tethys, Kiste, some survival mission on Ceres and it's like pulling my hair out. Just ran a 40 minute ODS and got 2 or 3. Maybe that's what I have to do, but that's still annoying considering how I now have like 50 control modules from running T3 defense missions and Neurodes are a drop from invasions.
