Seriously?  This game dropped a buncha lvl 35 enemies on top of me. In a lvl 10-15 map.
At the very least, drop level appropriate enemies.  Some players are actually newbie geared.

(Syndicate stuff.)

Just tumble along. You don't have to kill every enemy on the map. Well, unless its a defence mission.

[IcyTea31]

And even if you do need to kill it, level 35 isn't that high: sustained headshots from any weapon, even unmodded, will kill them in reasonable (if inefficient) time, as long as the primary damage type is right (piercing for Grineer, impact for Corpus, slash for infested). Get behind cover if you can't take their hits and you'll be fine.

[Zangi]

Meh, is those flying things, kinda hard to melee and they tend to group up and focus fire, unlike other types. 
I was leveling some random gear, so damage output is plink plink plink.  It was a capture the control points map.

Made some random I was with quit.  So I quit out too.

Wait, did the screen flash black with some ghost noises beforehand? If so, that might have been a syndicate death squad. They're just a thing that happens, a bunch of high-level enemies that start appearing once you, or someone else in your cell, has angered a syndicate. They work just like the other assassins, but only the one they're after gets the voicelines, annoyingly.

If that is a death squad, they absolutely focus fire. They're only after the person who has pissed off the syndicate. I forget if they're hostile automatically to all players or only after they get shot by the non target.

They're hostile to everyone.

mfw forum trolling actually reminds me that true type damages are a thing


If I farm more combos I'm sure I can take it to seven digits

Info up on Nightwaves, the system replacing alerts.

Will be adding things like daily/weekly challenges over seasonal stories. Standing earned in the season is similar to factions in that it can be exchanged for rewards. This should make it easier for people to pick up specific mods and other items they are looking for. (I remember building the original Vauban back in the day. You were lucky if you caught any of his parts available when they might only appear for a few hours in a month).

Interesting tidbits.
Addition of Inventory Slots to reward system (!)
Nitain Extracts will come in bundles of 5 (!)
Formas from rewards will now be built.


Also some new details on the Melee System Changes.
Interrupted combo's will be resumable.
Better ground slams.
Spiffy new melee fx.
Blocking is now automatic against enemies you are facing.
Channelling shall continue to exist, but be bound to alt-fire in melee mode.
Melee mode is an optional toggle for those who want to continue to use it.
Melee changes being introduced in phases, no longer planned on a by weapon basis.

Nightwave's sound like a straight up improvement, and its about time that melee got some additional love.

The one that sends the flying bots are pretty nasty.  Definition of bullet sponge.  I spent a whole game just being chased around by them and whittling them down as my one other teammate screwed around with the objectives.  (drill extraction)

Compared to the ball rolling one, those things at least die within a reasonable time frame.

Wow, that's three moderate-to-major annoyances out of the equation.

Inb4 they introduce a new Hema grind which requires 10k Nitain at Ghost resource costs.

Shhhh. Don't mention such things!

Last time I got myself to purchase a gun with plat, because screw that.

[Teneb]

So, the new alert system, Nightwave is out. It's pretty neat. It also added a new Stalker-like Miniboss, the Wolf of Saturn Six... who I've yet had to attack me, but I hear is a huge bullet sponge (no invicibility phases though, thankfuly).

Spoiler: But who cares, look at what I got in a sortie (click to show/hide)

Yeah, that's a Legendary Core. I am absolutely not using it.

[milo christiansen]

Ohhh. Legendary Core! I got one once, piles of plat... Those things sell for *at least* 300p At the time that was a huge amount for me, all the slots I could use for months.
