    Last 24hrs, seems agents are not having much fun with Polarity Switch

    I've ran Tidal Basin 4x with 2-4k average random level players (I'm just at 400) and in all cases it's been wipe after wipe. Grant it, I'm running a glass canon endless seeker (s) build, but jeez

    Ubisoft/Massive...I don't think you're winning many popularity points with this one. GOLDEN BULLET RULES!!!!!

    Not sure why you need multiple threads on the same subject, but the GE is fine. It forces players to think about target prioritization rather than just shooting at whatever is closest to them. The RPM buff is hilarious, especially on something like the Bullet King or Vector.

    Why are you talking about RPM buff again?
    There is no any RPM buff - not in current event, neither it was in Shielded one

    Also, this event is complete crap. Maybe for Normal or Hard, or even Challenging it's fine - some scrubs are sitting somewhere behind cover and calculating each their shot.

    Try Heroic + all directives, then tell me again.

    P.S. Also, there was way more replies last time I've seen this thread. Not happy ones...

    Blue arm...shoot the blue guys.....red arm...shoot the red guys.

    Is the concept that hard to understand?
    If it is...maybe not turn it on?

    It IS an optional game mode you know.

    My bad, you get a damage buff, not an RPM buff. As I noted in your thread, there was no event called "Shielded", but the Guardian event (where you see a Shield icon) does give a RPM buff.

    To be fair, matchmaking doesn't allow you to specify whether someone has the event enabled or not. Same thing for directives.

    Pretty much whenever I see that the Global Event is active in group settings, I switch to Eclipse Protocol with Foam and Shock Traps. People always think of it as a "damage set", but it is great for CC.

    Stationary NPC's are often a lot less of a threat than ones that can move. Things progress a lot smoother in this situation.

    I swear it seems I am taking more damage in this event, but I think it is really that NPC time to kill has increased in some situations and they are often targeting me as a CC person. I could also be having server/client funtime issues. I have seen a lot of teleporting/skating NPC's and players lately.

    Then (for me) there is no reasons to play at all while it's active, since I've completed this game.

    And yes, this is hard, when you have only yellow enemies left and you have blue hand - you should do 1 shot, then reload and then shoot.

    Boring AF.

    Yes, you CAN determine matchmaking for GE or regular. If you have it active, you will only MM with active GE players and vise-versa.

    I have had no problem except when joining some groups who don't seem to be ready for the battle usually because they are playing one dimensional and don't bring anything extra to the battle. Just throwing your grenades can make a difference - the battles that i just walk through there are grenades going off all sorts of skills running NPCs burning everywhere everyone seems to have an extra outlet and its a blood bath but guys only using their guns is a struggle.

    This event is crap. No, it isn't a hard concept. It just isn't fun. There is way too much downside and way too little upside to this one. I can't even really feel the damage buff.

    It is really problematic when playing with a shotgun, because of spread, if a BB hits the wrong color you are wiped back to 0. Its much more manageable with a weapon with no spread.
