Another consequence of glitchers.....Tards | Forums

Have started to notice this more and more over the weekend......

I like to farm challenge modes. I always start the session so I can't be kicked by people to bring their friends in for loot. More and more I am finding utter morons, with zero clue as to how to play, with gear scores of 200+

Last night I had a guy, with a GS of 204, that had to be revived 4 times during the very first mob wave outside of Lexington. I persevered with him, even after 5 more revives in the next section, and eventually got him playing in the team. He said he had never ran Lexington before, was a fresh 30 and got his gear by glitching Falcon Lost. My next run? Exactly the same type of guy with a GS of 196. I am getting guys like this in my team every 3 runs or so.

I won't even talk about my experience trying to get groups for Falcon Lost hard mode.

This is when glitching starts affecting the legit players. Gear score, whilst will never be a measure of player skill, should at least be some sort of measure of experience with the content and playing the game, at the moment it isn't due to the inflated gear scores obtained by the glitchers.

So. True.

I had the same problems on my 2 past Lincolm tunnel runs.
Players with GS195+ who does not know how to position themselves, what target to prioritize, when flanking or not...

But well, before we did not know what gear any given player had, so know at least we know how they are geared !
Does not change much in the end...

i know your pain ...
tried with a pug the hard mode incursion yesterday as a tech ...

popped smart cover + support immunity and for 4 try i was the only one inside the circle and behind cover ... they all think they can "face tank".... they did not understand the cover part on "cover shooter" ...

so i tought let's go with some pulse at least with their 240 Gear they can melt everything (pulse at cap 40% crit and 100% crit dmg) and still i (3600 electronic 1500 weapon and 1500 life) still was the higher dps in the whole group .... with the lower gs ... they have no clue about stats, talent, bonuses .....

so sad....

I remember in final exam in elementary school here in my country, almost everyone in my class cheated. They even had the audacity mocking me for not cheating. They ended up with high if not perfect grade while I only got average grade. And then came the entry test for prestigious Junior High School and guess what? None of my classmates passed/got in while I did it with flying colors. So. Satisfying. Suck it *****es. lol

So, OP, thank you for reminding me of my childhood. Hahaha.

Yeah the face tanking thing....where does that come from? I see that all the time from them

It doesn't matter what your GS is, if you are running into the middle of 6 Elite level 31 mobs and use no skills, you are going down. Fast.

Not to mention the GS 220 guy in the DZ 12 hours after the patch that trash talking over VOIP after he killed them to every one that has less then 200 GS.

Yeah, all of the people who got their Challenge mode incursions done via glitching are going to be the huge pool of scrubs we deal with if the next incursion has no 'glitch' to it.

Especially since the GS for it is 220

I still have to beat Falcon Lost hard mode because I'm not good enough to handle a solo run(or a duo with my trusted buddy) and all I always get is 200+GS players who have absolutely no idea on what they're doing and not even an idea on how the Incursion they got the GS from is working.

And considering how dumb Falcon Lost is, not knowing what to do is quite embarrassing.

You would think people would be able to watch one of the million videos on how to do it but apparently not. I've only done hard once, as it was too painful getting a group that wasn't wanting to exploit, or had a clue what to do. After maybe 3 or 4 tries at a group i finally got one that knew what they were doing and we did it pretty well, and i got lucky with a drop. Not sure i can face it again though!

I actually like Russian consulate and Power station because at least they have a hard gate at the start and you can quickly decide if you want to waste your time with the team you've been lumbered with. Personally i give everyone one a chance, if they die straight away it could be a genuine mistake, but if they die again straight out the gate i'm outa there.
