So you suggest making it HARD for newer players?  Make it more engaging for mobs that drop hardly any escalated loot?  Are you like a CSM or something after reading through the forums I feel like everyone has an opinion here.  Then there is this guy named Annihilator, who sits in the corner and says something completely opposite.

My reading comprehension is fine.  I'm used to a community that's not for having its hand held every step of the way and finds ways to amuse themselves.  How ever 99% of the players in this thread are content with orange npcs the way they are but you.  So let's cater it to the one masochist who thinks time risking his bot and equipment to spawns that once every 3 hours drops a tiered item is soooooo fun!  Woohoo!!! 

We had a great time on novaya with jasdemi, black ice and billy farming beacons.  Now that got nerfed too??  Do you guys even want players to have FUN?   The fun part is getting T2-T4 loot drops.  Theres no fun in mindless farming at a static spawn.  I have two accounts this is my miner/follow bot account.  Now your telling me I need to do crappier spawns do my follow doesn't die??  Now I have to train hardcore into shields ?? 

And another thing, why do green bots neut, suppress and ECM ?  It's like you make group play but there's 65 people playing, wtf?  Hello?  Ewar needs to chill out on these lower tier mobs.

BadAss this mechanic you see on testserver was normal for 4 years, until recent patch removed that. As I could not find pathcnote that it was removed by intention, it might be normal bugfix. Sad for you to spend EP to have benefit from bug for weeks (all of use benefitted, so don't feel bad).

In the end, before that bug came in, it was usual for remote rep bot to use shield and EECM. This helped for most NPCs. For harder NPCs you should think about Support Bot for the Support Bot.

what is the reason to make difficult PVE (farm)? what now disgusting, stupid PVP? so can pvp must be changed? not to make life difficult for those for who pvp is not important.

p.s. I was just wondering who interferes with alpha Islands as they work now...

make better reset the server, clean OP for all agents. let all equal from the outset collect kernel and study base

=== hard farm = little pvp === (die your brain)

----LESS QQ AND MORE ATTENTION TO REAL STUFF----

This is what you have to look forward too.

The change you have performed on the test server has made it possible to drop a 1 star beacon on anyone's follow bot and have the follow bot catch agro.

In the picture 1 beacon was dropped Near the follow bot and after 1 Energy transfer went off the entire beacon agro straight to him all the NPCs within a 350 M range.  How will this be used?  Offensively on Alpha to grief people.

In a Masked cam mk2 you are able to get close enough to a follow bot to drop the beacons and activate them before the reaction time to turn off the modules is able to be performed.  Not to mention if the main combat is in the middle of a spawn.

Before pushing this mechanic through please fix this.  Or it WILL be used on the live server.

Thank you.

beacons? i wonder how this can be used to draw a whole 5th star spawn right into a hostile PvP group to kill them with the AoE from the easier-to-kill npcs.

you don't need to transfer to any thing - its enough trying to activate the module on a ground tile (throws an error message that its impossible, but the taunt is applied).
Testing NPC stuff no PTS is currently hard to do, if the lag has not improved since yesterday.

The way I read that, the beacon isn't the problem, the using a 10 ton jackhammer instead of a scalpel to fix a non-issue is.

Two fixes are now out on the test server:

• NPCs spawning from beacons/artifacts will attack the activating player(s) again.

• Orange NPCs will now only aggro on remote support modules if the player that's being supported has also aggro. (Thanks Ville for pointing that out.)

im not ville

i have considered it....
