Detachment was one of the biggest nerfs ever and the reasoning behind it was poor at best. The ladder was a ninja change that accomplished nothing at all, considering it took players all of 2 seconds to figure out how to get back up there without it, gg Trion.Originally Posted by Mayday
These runs were bad luck but I happen to see that quite often.
If it werent for the two ppl I'd be doing expos with I'd have stopped long ago. Certainly not doing it for the loot.
Noone (sane) is asking for supremes every tier.
Im just asking for a reason to play expos. Not everyone has Teamspeak and some friends to regularly spent HR with. I couldnt ever imagine the horror of doing expos with Pugs again with these rewards.
Let me give a few examples of expo loot thats quite worthless imo:
- OJ Vehicle Wrecker Chip
- OJ Syphon Resist Chip
- Purple Cannonneer Mods for BMGS
- Purple Melee Damage stocks for Assault Rifles
etc...
The loot table just contains so many chips/mods that hardly anyone uses ever and im sure they end up in the salvage matrix or at the vendor most of the time. And do I really need to kill a bonus room full of raiders for three random blues at Tier 30 ?
Right now the hardest PVE content gives worse loot (synergy and rarity wise, with a few exceptions) than non returning events.
One idea apart from the loot itself would be to increase the arkforge and key payout drastically as an incentive.
A chimera run nets you 12-15AF usually, while expos pay out a lot less even though they require way more time, effort and skill to get done. Why cant there be a minimum of 20AF reward for Tier 20+ expos for example ? Chimera has 10 and doesnt require HR to enter.

Back for round 2! Vehicle races for pursuits. Especially the gold trophy ones. I keep trying and trying,but boy hate wasting hours on these. Ppl keep telling me there easy and did them with like level 5 runners. Really? IDK what platforms they're on but whatever! Maybe it's lag or controller sensitivity or me. But these get my goat! Lol
I know a goodish portion of the vets got golds back when there was a glitch in the system that automatically gave gold no matter how well you did. Personally I've only got gold in about 1/4 of 'em, and that was with level 20 plus a clan bonus.hopefully with the revamping of the experiance gaining system these rather ridiculous time trials will become a non-issue.

I don't understand how you console players get them done to this day. I called myself trying to help my nephew on XBOX 360 and his runner wouldn't even spawn under his character until 10 seconds after the race started.
The only way I've been able to do them is directly after a relog. Right before the lag monster attacks.

Yes I've found on the ps3 to get a silver or gold medal you have to do a fresh log to make sure there's as little lag as possible and less chance of a disconnect.
Round 14 doing expos solo, join the hellbug hunt only to get kicked by group leader.... Back at Alcatraz and guess what? no round no timer....
today im doing expos not high round but i stuck a skitter with dawn's light it jumps and i det it... back at alcatraz and lost round and timer....
twice within 24 hours... I'm done with expos for a year or two.
The trick to getting golds in TTs is the same for any good racing game. Slow = fast. I can get gold on any of them with very little boost usage. Most boost refills are traps and you'll find yourself off course more often than not. Look ahead! If you can see two rings ahead then let the her rip with the boost. If you have a hidding ring over a hill or up/down a hill, boost is going cost you time not gain. If jumps are involved, use your boost to plant the bike quicker. Floating with big air is stalling and you have no direction control.
I recently did my gold runs with a new toon, and having to retry only a few of them before getting gold. And those failures were from going too fast and losing control. Remember taking tests and getting an answer wrong because it was a trick question? Just think of these races as the same thing...going super fast is what tricks you into failing. lol
