Observer 3 used to drop cortex's every time. This has changed?

Yeah this has changed. Recently, I have scanned down multiple observer 3 sites in the same run and none of them had any cortex. Just a bunch of kernels.

Gamma or alpha? The drop rate is different.


Gamma

Guys, I keel you !!!

following conversation:

Inda: guys do missions together
guy1: no it wont help my reputation
guy2: no sorry it less rewarded
guy3: no sorry I dont get tokens
Inda: I keeel the DEVs


FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Pls take a look the most cruical things guys!!! So solve that. We need to improve the temaplay in PVE.

Guy1 is an idiot. I took my alt from level 0 to level 4 missions by doing squad missions with my toon that had access to lvl 4.
Guy2 is an idiot. Yes the reward does go up. I found that out by accepting and completing a mission while in standing squad. EDIT: The nic I received for completing was more than if I had completed the mission solo.
Guy3 is correct, however guy 1,2, and 3 should each be taking a mission and running them all together so they get tokens from their own missions.

Just my .02 and experience running missions with multiple toons. big_smile

I think the drop rate relation between MK2 CTs and cortex is out of place.
Statistically the ratio of one Light 100p Mk2 CT to light cortex should be 1:33 to keep things in balance.

As of now we get way more CTs than we can ever use with the possible cortex supply (including SAP drops).
So either increase cortex drop rate or reduce Mk2 drop rate.

Also why the hell are industry bot CTs so common?

/discuss

I have the opposite problem. After a week of scanning I have found nearly 100 sites that have produced a cortex and maybe 2 that have produced a mk2 ct. Ill have to research and get exact numbers. Does anyone know if the loot table is tied to the player or the island/zone?

So last night I managed to close our forcefield gate after one light bot of a Indy Caravan had made it through and even though the gate was closed the rest of the spawn walked right through the gate. I don't know if this is a gate bug or is an issue with roaming spawns.

Wtf are all you people *** about?  Most of you are 1.5 million EP accounts!!!  Who cares if someone can pilot a mech efficiently day one???  This is a step in the right direction to not have the same 45 people online.  Good job Avatar creations!

Exactly this. The same lot complaining about this are the same lot complaining about the current state of the game. Its about time AC stopped catering to this dead weight and started making decisions for the betterment of the game as a whole.

Stop with the Pay to Win BS. No you dont deserve the best of everything just because you play the game. Pay up or shut up. Yesterday you didnt have access to the sparks. If you dont want to pay for the package guess where you still are?

Should have shared your opinions in the discussion thread we had regarding this. If you missed it then its your fault so get your panties out of a bunch.

Windows 10. But it worked the same on Windows 8.

Also you can find Asus transformers with detachable keyboard - they'll be more compact and lighter in tablet mode. And you can connect bluetooth keyboard, obviously. No Wacom pen support though last time i've checked (it's handy for small interface parts).


Makes more sense now. I think OP is asking when it would be supported by a traditional tablet and not a tablet PC.

Very strange if this is true. I've thought it's more time than money, even with subscription. Years of playing is far more valuable than something like a thousand of dollars.
If it's about money, then why don't we just forget EP and fill ghe cash shop with Mk5 bots that are bound to character and not requiring skills to pilot?

Yes its true. High EP accounts signify that those accounts were around during the subscription years and thus we have spent more $$$ than just the base price of the game. What we have for also playing over the years is large stockpiles of ingame assets.

We cant just forget EP but Im all for items in a cash shop including a "MK5" bot. I said in my post if it gets motivated players to play the game and money in the devs hands, Im all for it.

Isnt AoE range affected by the amount of accumulator the bot had left? I wonder if this isnt being calculated on npc deaths. I was popped at over 100m away.

Are we ever going to get additional modules similar to the interference module? I heard once that mines were going to become a thing. Id like to get a deployable demob module that could be launched into the enemy group.

Aye, its significantly harder to scout more teleport, and more entry points.

Clearly you have not met Peanut. big_smile

Ive lived on Beta where EVERY tp had a trial gate scout. Trust me it can be done and its not hard at all.

(11 replies, posted in Balancing)

So even if you change the number of entry points to beta from 3 to 6 are you still going to complain after you find out that we can still scout them all? If you dont have the same motivation and determination as your enemy even 20 entry points will not allow you to take an island.

You could take a diamond package sell it on steam for $49.99 that comes with a head start EP package of 250k.

It's encouraging to see that our players have come to the same conclusion like we did. (Although not THAT expensive.)

More details soon.


Be sure to offer players whose accounts are <6 months old the option to upgrade their base accounts for the difference.

I dont think so. I would have heard the sound of them spawning first then locking.

The reason I suggest that EP be sold is there is a HUGE gap between veteran and noob. The argument has always been that vets deserve to be ahead because we've spent more $$$ on the game than newer players. If someone wants to come in and drop a moderate chunk of cash then why not let them have a moderate chunk of EP. Id rather have someone motivated to play the game and some money in AC's hands than one dead weight veteran who does nothing more than complain about the game being dead.

TBH at this point I wouldnt mind to even see EP for sale. Something like a years worth of boosted EP (788400) for the same cost as the highest credit package. Make it avail 1 time per account. That way anyone seriously interested in the game can close the gap.

Is NPCs locking onto you implied or does it actually happen? Because if something locks you then it should become visible, regardless of detection.


Both times the first thing that indicated NPCs were near me was the sound of getting locked and then 1-2 sec later an entire 5th star spawn appeared on the radar and main screen and had me redboxed. I have the distance circle set at 600m so when I heard that I was getting locked I checked the radar and saw nothing. 1-2 seconds later I had the entire spawn showing within the circle.

This doesnt sound widespread so Ill try to recreate and get a SS if possible and unless any others report the same ill just submit a ticket.

Yes and no. Was next to one when it happened once and not near any others as I was stationary and the npcs walked up on me.

When on gamma I am being locked by npcs before they show on radar and before the red icons appear on screen. That is even with an active detection cycle from a signal detector. Not sure if its lag as my lag is normal at 170-200ms. Buildings and plants load normally when they come into range and distant structures appear on the radar during a detection cycle.

We've been limping with 15 dudes in general chat for 6 months it's refreshing to see 80.  F2P means scouts everywhere. Even if arkhes. 

A trial would be nice.

Hey another idea!

Have additional options when buying the game.

Bronze Package: $15.99, just the game.
Silver Package: $21.99 the game, 1 ICE and 1 Alien probability device
Gold Package: $29.99 the game, 2 ICE and 5 AIDS plus a factional specific mk2 assault bot.

Thoughts?

Gold package should include 2 accounts plus people should have the option to upgrade their bronze or silver packages for the difference if they do so within 30 days of first logging in.
