Nooo AH removed the Harvester surge!

Why must you rob us of glory AH I was having fun trying to figure out how to beat a defense mission with them 😭

For anyone who missed it there was a bug where 3 planets being invaded by the void were spawning a ridiculous amount of Harvesters. On defense missions it was ONLY Harvesters and tons of them to the point it would crash the game.

Loving this new Biome

Said nobody on console(Xbox series X) because this is what it looks like. Not to mention all the other trees on forest biomes. Watching streamers on PC it looks amazing so I can't help but be a little pissed off that AH couldn't even bother to fix this for consoles before release in a "major update".

I don't expect it look PC levels of good but come on this is just beyond lazy, incompetent or both.

Forgive me Scythe

I went from never using this gun in 600 hours of playtime having written it off as a weak gimmick to maining the hell out of it for Vote Snatchers. It goes crazy against the Wretches and Voteless hordes acting like an infinite range flamethrower very often getting 20+ kills with a single sweep of a mob, and because of its zero recoil it's also fairly good at finishing off Crushers.

I'm sorry for neglecting you for so long my beloved.

Any way to report insanely loud backfiring car?

There's a guy who lives down the street with a stupid loud backfiring car. Multiple times per day they will drive by our house and it sounds like a fucking bomb going off outside my window, doesn't matter what time it is theyve even done it after midnight when I'm trying to sleep. Is there anyone I can report this too or action I can take to stop this from happening?

The SEAF are making D10 way too easy

The SEAF update is cool and all, but I feel like it's making planets they're deployed on too easy on D10. With how many of them show up I feel like it's definitely affecting how many enemies are allowed to spawn in the same area while also making mobs far easier to disengage from. Earlier today me and a friend were duoing the Appropriators void planet on D10 and it felt like a walk in the park compared to without them.

The Meltagun is actually insane

Literally me after finding out this thing 1 shots Hulks, Tanks, War Striders, Factory Striders and Fabricators. It's honestly the new meta anti tank for bots and I can't wait to see what it does to a Vox Machine.

But I'm not gonna lie I feel like AH will definitely swing the nerf hammer at it eventually.

What happened to convoy missions?

I don't know when they disappeared but I haven't seen a Factory Strider convoy mission for what feels like months now which is a shame because they made D10 bots more interesting and challenging IMO. The last thing this game needs is LESS mission variety.

I miss pre-nerf Vox Machines

I feel like AH went too hard nerfing them. Either the number or health reduction by themself would have been fine but now they just feel like a complete non threat. Mega Factory on D10 just doesn't hit the same anymore and not nearly as challenging 😔

Now that they can be one shot by the so many things there's almost no reason to go for the grenade hatch kill which was the funnest part about them and were also encouraged to do it rather than use a bunch of AT to kill one. It was high risk high reward but they don't really feel risky or rewarding to kill anymore.

Spore Burst is absolute hell

Pic is absolutely me after doing nothing but Erata Prime on D9-10 since phase 3 started. I've only been around since the Xbox launch but my god there is nothing in this game that is more rage inducing nightmare fuel than this strain. I can comfortably play bots and squids(except Appropriators) on D10 and man this is a whole new level of suffering. It's like first wave Oshaune or Cyberstan before the nerfs all over again.

I kinda like it though.

*Edit: should have said Spore Burst + Dragon Roaches

D10 Appropriators loadout?

I've been doing Appropriators on D10 messing around with different load outs and I still have no idea how you're supposed handle the sheer amount of mechs/Harvesters and everything else.

Last night I was doing SOS's using Eagle Strafe + Gatling Barrage + MG Turret + Maxigun and arc grenades and that felt decent but I know there has to be better out there.

Punisher Plasma is the GOAT

Am I wrong or is the PP the best all around primary in the game? It just bullies everything to death and you're damn near untouchable until you have to reload. The only downside to this gun is it can't kill bug holes/fabricators but it would honestly be OP if it did.

No matter what weapon I try to use to break away for the sake of variety I always come back to my one true love and it's actually kind of frustrating how the majority of other primaries just feel incredibly bad to use by comparison. Only the Trident manages to take my attention away from the PP for a length of time.

Haha really got you there didn't I Arrowhead? Everyone knows the PP is actually complete dogshit.

The most fun way to play Mindless Masses

Decided to try and spice up what feels like a pretty boring modifier and I think I found the perfect load out to make it more fun:

Main Wep: Chainsaw Longsword

Primary: Double Freedom because it's fun and for sniping Snitchers, can also kill Harvesters if you desire

Secondary: Re-Educator for stunning Blobs letting you go at them with the chainsaw

Grenade: Pyrotech for thinning out mobs/drops and softening up the Blobs for chainsaw, also good for killing Harvesters

Armor: Beast of Prey for that sweet melee damage bonus and Overseers/Blobs can't knock you down while chainsawing them

Backpack: Warp Pack for obvious reasons

This load out has definitely saved me from just completely avoiding Mindless Masses and my God it's so much fun being a human blender and chainsawing the Harvesters to death never gets old.

The crashing is RIDICULOUS

I'm on Xbox Series X, got in the mood to spread some democracy but after 4 black screen crashing to dashboard in under an hour just completely killed my motivation to play.

​

I really love this game but my god the constant crashing and disconnecting from matches is absolutely atrocious. No other game that I play does this and it really makes me question why I even try when AH doesn't seem to give a shit about improving stability.

Literally unplayable

I play on Xbox and hopped on today to see how bad the patch was and whoa boy I wasn't disappointed. First game was take down Illuminate ship and after doing all the other objectives we get to the cannon and can't interact with the console AT ALL. The silo platform was clipped into the ground as well as a whole bunch of objects and walls being partially invisible and we ended up just leaving the game.

Next mission we drop in next an encampment and I immediately notice the ships are clipped into a copy of their destroyed versions on top of each other and we couldn't destroy them at all. My squad was also walking around in the air as well as all the drop pods being stuck in the air. Just left the game.

Time for another 6 month break.
