Re: Spec Ops Rebooted

Anyone like the new "watch a video" becoming a "take a survey" or other nonsense? Maybe someone could start a poll.

I'd rather have the videos. They take less time and require no thought.

Re: Bounty Cascade 3 Stage Event 12th December 2022

At the end, the weapon is bound to be useless. There hasn't been a devastating assault weapon in some time so this one will probably follow that path. The 13* SMs are a bit of a dilemma. Sure, they give an extra 5% in Spec Ops but unless they have a 5% or 10% attribute that is not much of a boost co...

Re: Bounty Cascade 3 Stage Event 12th December 2022

Usually GL waits until Stage 3 to introduce absurdly high upgrade requirements. Stage 2 is typically "painfully" high. They must figure that they have you sucked into the event and will impale you with upgrades. Players will comply to get the rewards. I fall for it every time. Running a se...

Re: Bounty Cascade 3 Stage Event 12th December 2022

With the 24-hour Deputy and a few more upgrades, Stage 1 weapon is still 4 upgrades short of being complete. The compressed time for each level (compared to a single stage event) intensifies the need for resources. This event appears like it may take another long-term Deputy or two. Fortunately, I s...

Re: Bounty Cascade 3 Stage Event 12th December 2022

Just out of luck, I started a 24-hour Deputy right at the beginning of the event. The upgrade requirements looked to be excessive so it appeared to be a resource toilet as already stated. After 24 hours, the event was opened and the upgrade requirements were GREATLY reduced. Going to have to remembe...

Re: 7th Anniversary Gift

The weapon is not in Inventory. Announcement from GL: "ANNIVERSARY GIFTS Why doesn't the holobadge have the ability you voted for? Well, without spoiling anything, don't worry, you will see that ability in action soon! Your vote matters and you will see it in the game! The weapon will be sent o...

You got hosed on this one. My results were OK for something that is free.

Re: Tokyo Nights - 24/11/2022

I'm experiencing the same with using this weapon. There are some goons in the event that are near or behind obstacles that cannot be easily accessed by the explosive projectiles. Another oddity that it has a learning curve being that the aim of the weapon affects the path of the bombs. IE. aiming to...

Re: Suspected Cheats/Hacked Accounts

The 9* Protector in his Base Defense is in the current Battle Pass. In order to get that far the requirements are quite demanding. (It will soon be a 12* after completing the event.) That is suspicious right up front since the data doesn't reflect that of an active player (64 SMs/418 base attacks/97...

Re: Tokyo Nights - 24/11/2022

After using the weapon for a bit it is going to be a challenge to take out a large number of SMs given the slow repetitive shot functioning. You can't just tap the mouse but have to wait a bit of time for the gun's action to function. Reloading is not terrible but takes additional time. The only upg...

Re: Tokyo Nights - 24/11/2022

Even though it doesn't state it, search-and-destroy seems to work if the target is centered on the screen. It makes sense since there are no sights and no zoom. It is a bit weak and will not likely be useful. Another event just to be an event. EDIT: Forgot to mention that this weapon is the first si...

Re: Spectre SM's Nerfed lost last breath ability

Couldn't find anything on Discord about a nerf. Maybe they didn't notice - just like I didn't notice either. None of my Specters currently have Last Breath. In fact, I can't think of a SM that has two of those extra affinities. It would be quite an advantage to have two post-kill factors to deal wit...

Re: Alien Sky - 9/11/2022

The aim point on the weapon is at the number "2" on the sight with two prongs sticking toward the inside. It is also that way on the other several guns with that style of sight. Unfortunately, the sight, the numbers, and the prongs are very hard to see in subdued light thus making them rel...

Re: Alien Sky - 9/11/2022

I'm going to play the event for giggles. There is no way the weapon will be strong at the end since it is 190 / 200 right at the start and can't do much as noted in the above post. The weapon is similar to several others with the same inefficient sights. If it is won, it is destined for the closet. ...
