To fight observers that's what I used to do, had a Mesmer w/ follow vagabond and Remote Repair bot.  Follow Bot change for PVP stopped that after I lost all three, when one got stuck in a plant and died to explosion.

I now, ERP up a Mesmer and vagabond and rely on explosion damage while kiting.  Because trying to tank one for long durations will kill me.  In essence you can still kill the kain and try to dps Race the observer Mesmer down.  But the Mesmer hits like a *** mac truck while having 75% success on ECMs.

Stupid answer YES AND I DIED due to not shooting the dps dealing bots

Just another thing to not do in beta......A place where we were supposed to have an appeal or lure to be balanced. RISK VS REWARD. Stop band-aiding problems and breaking 4 other mechanics

Re: Get rid of roaming caravan spawns

Sad to see legit PVE being punished by half-assedly trying to fix broken beacon mechanics.

Re: Get rid of roaming caravan spawns

They do have a point, the income disparity between ratters and miners was already out of whack, this only makes it even more distorted.

I can make ~32,5M/Hour farming L4 HMechs at the ball & chain on Alpha, or I can make 225M/Hour mining Epriton on Beta.

However, there's no way in hell to farm a mob-spawn on Beta to make those 32,5M/Hour, nevermind anything remotely approaching the 225M/Hour that I could be making by simply mining Epriton.

You really should look balancing the income for combat pilots. Not everyone who comes into the game will want to be a miner or give you another 30$ for a mining account.

Re: Get rid of roaming caravan spawns

lmao at this game.  This game is more and more just alpha pve game.  Absolutely no reason at all to do anything on beta except for mining epriton.  Thanks Devs, this game just got another nail in the coffin.   At least there are a lot more entertaining games out there. Knee jerking patches, how sad.

At least there is plenty of games on steam's summer sale.

Re: Get rid of roaming caravan spawns

I just had about enough of this stupid changes, and slow progress and no content for the vets. Where is gamma? Where is new mission revamp?.

No motivation to play at all.

You have literally made it more difficult to farm these caravans on beta than alpha. And now you are literally telling us it is no big deal. Are you for real?

Zoom I think you need a break man. You aren't seeing the big picture here and are instead just *** talking the people giving you valid feedback.

Re: Get rid of roaming caravan spawns

So you break the game with exploits, then get mad when the devs have to do SOMETHING to fix it because you're abusing it.


Seems legit. Cry some more.

It wasnt an exploit roll, even the devs said so. Their knee jerk patch is a bad fix. Makes it too much a hassle to do any pve on beta.

Well there's a theme here isn't there. Nobody was very happy with all yellow spawns on alpha change either.

Here's an idea:

STOP ABUSING MECHANICS AND TRYING TO BREAK THE GAME ***

try that.

Re: Get rid of roaming caravan spawns

Roaming caravans and observers no longer add any meaningful content to the game on Beta and should be removed or completely reworked.
