While i do enjoy this game, i've noticed the main boss fight with Nim appears to be bugged for me. when the option to use the self rez comes up the timer only give 1 sec to hit the right key. the fight is close to impossible to win. can a player still advance in levels without doing the main story quests? If not it seems like kind of dead end for a game? I hope someone has some advice on this?
Yea EGO isn't capped by the boss fight in any shape. And at that point you have most of the side missions open (believe there's a couple more after he falls though).
You can keep leveling even if you don't do the story.
I suggest you read the numerous threads on Nim, lots of tips. I noticed the timer isn't always bugged, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Actually not had the bug with the self rez you talk about since I did him the first time in alpha.
Three letters make that fight very VERY easy... BMG... While it does take some time to kill him with one, how can you NOT look at the advantages, auto tracking, chaining to others in the area, self heal, unlimited ammo, and being able dodge at your normal speed. With all those benefits even with some minor skill you should be able to take him out without getting yourself killed bypassing that res problem :)
Respark, don't leave home without one ;)
That too, I played the entire storymode with the VBI Sentinel because the only ones with a 3 second delay I ever found were Rebels and those come with a Massive 10% recharge per second >.<Quote:

Yep, you had a rebel :p 200 more shield points doesn't offset the 30% recharge per second for sure >.< They need to balance the shields better. Resparks are fine where they are now, but Rebels need a much larger shield pool, Rhinos need a MASSIVE shield pool boost because of the nearly 10 second delay, 500 more points is less than 2 shots in every situation in this game.
