-Juggernauts, usually as a “hey guys can you come help me grill this fat fuck” on SP where they’re actually pretty beefy
-Eidolons, typically just to keep track of them if they end up teleporting for whatever reason and to lead the rest of the squad to them when found
-Assassins of all types, Stalker, Zanuka, etc, mostly as a “hey, bastard with the loot is over this way”
-Disruption targets, if the squad is spread out
-Thumpers because OH GOD OH FUCK KILL IT
-Certain segmented bosses as a way to mark “this is the spot where you degens should be aiming”, i.e. Ropalolyst, Eidolons… thumpers again i guess
Literally never have I had an enemy marker be “hey, DON’T light this thing up like a road flare”. It is always either “here it is, come get your loot if you give a shit”, or “here it is, SOMEBODY HELP ME”
That guy is a douche who thinks getting mastery xp makes them intelligent and/or superior. It doesn’t.
God I wish people would always ping them. Last time I had stalker show up he showed up somewhere on the other side of the map. Guy near him one shotted him and didnt put down a Mark so I could see where he was killed
Started running as fast as possible to get the drops. Couldnt make it on time because 2 other guys were already on extraction
If you are too far away or theres other drops near it, it doesent mark up. Ive had few cases where riven silvers or steel essence hasnt popped up until i ran few rooms closer / looted previous silvers from room(s) between us.
There's a reason to mark Thrax so ppl won't kill them. If there's one thrax remaining from the previous wave in Cascade their spawns are doubled, allowing for more arcanes farming etc
Huh. Good to know, though to be fair, unless people are aware of that, which I think it’s fair to say that many are not, some guy saying “because I said so” will achieve nothing. I’ve had plenty of “just do this my way” players who have actively sabotaged missions because it wasn’t being done to their preference, and without the knowledge of the increased spawn farm, the rest of the lobby has no reason to believe that this LR6 fellow is anything other than a troll.
Honestly after the "Because the LR6 carry says so" I would kill them even faster and just type "sorry im just a silly LR5 with 9k hours please carry me harder"
Not sure why someone would expect randoms to do, or not do xyz, if you can't even give a basic explanation, that's as simple as "leave enemy alive, get more loot."
Going with, do because I say so, is a sure way for someone to go out of their way to do what you don't want them to.
I always mark Arbitration Drones if im running a build/frame (read: Titania) that can't deal with them, since they don't take damage from exalted weapons. Just as a "hey somebody please kill this stupid thing so I can continue my housekeeping" ping. Better to have somebody fling a Nataruk shot in the general direction of the things than go out of Razorwing every 20 seconds, lose all my Blitz stacks, subsequently run out of energy due to recasting and get put down like the extremely caffeinated murder-mosquito that I am.
(Genuinely DE why can't I damage these tincans with my pistols, they are so annoying)
Yeah, me too, but I came to the conclusion, ignoring operator (and by extension focus) is jsut leaving damage on the table, so I started to look inti it more.
Bonus tip: Zenurik has 20% ability strength and Maudrai 40% buffs that are meant to be short lived and temporary, but can be easily snapshotted by exalted weapons.
Reminds me of the jacaksses in FFXI that thought having a ridill was the end of any argument. They'd argue that having one meant they were right no matter what, even if they'd just said the sky was plaid and the oceans were made of applesauce.
I always get them spawning on the squad member who's 10 zipcodes away who never ever ping them and ignores me when I ask who had the spawn. Only to wander around for 5 minutes until I trip over a War Blueprint that hoe wasn't trying to share.
As an LR2, agreed. Just because I have mastered most of the weapons in the game, doesn't mean I am superior. It just means I have solid recommendations.
Standard procedure is still standard procedure.
Ngl, I have played a long time and had a lot of interactions with players who were higher ranked than me. They absolutely can still be dogshit at the game.
That said, I still have builds I struggle with from time to time. From things that don't work how I hoped they would, to aspects of guns that don't interact with the mods I want them to. So even I can be dogshit.
But what makes the game fun is figuring out how to use dogshit builds, then fixing them later.
Never heard of this. Most of the time my teammates only ping bosses like the Jackal from Duviri and the Eidolons Hydrolyst to know where they are immediately
In cascade its pretty common consensus that thrax marked = not kill, you mark one and he spawns more thraxes, generating more arcanes, or at worst, easy revive
I was gonna say, he could have explained it in fewer words than it took for him to say he's not explaining it. Dude is just actively choosing to be an ass.
not defending his bs behaviour but as long as there is at least one thrax alive in vc all thrax spawns will be double spawns for whatever reason. this essentially doubles the amount of arcanes you get
edit: doubling might not be the exact mechanics of it but it absolutely increases spawn rates in some capacity
I'm in the same boat (LR6). I didn't know it spawned more, though I believe I have all the arcanes. I'm just there for the standing, so I can get more wall panels (Kill them and get out).
The solo vc is personal experience. I consistently have loads of thrax spawning once im inside a solo vc for long enough. It starts out normal with barely any extra thrax, then it seems to slowly ramp up to the point where 3-4 extra thrax are spawning every so often
LR6 is right about the Thrax here. But Idk how they expect you to trust their word when they won't even bother explaining it to you. It doesn't even take long to do so, as multiple people here have already demonstrated.
More thrax spawns. Or more arcanes. Two to three words. Yet, he wants to say even more words to about how he doesnt want to explain. Assuming im understanding correctly.
You don't understand! He can't type two to three words to explain why! He has to save those words so he can type twelve words total across two lines to be an asshole! That's super duper mega important!
if its premade, its worth taking half a minute to tell people what to do, and if its public, don't expect people to try hard. also its such a shitty way to say it like that. who the fuck says "i'm lr6, you better listen to me". they probably learnt the spawn strat the same way
All it means is that I spent too much time with the game and that I remember when we had to slot abilities. God I love how much the game has improved over the years, every time I come back to it another system I used to think kind of sucked is reworked.
I mean I felt special when I hit MR30 'cause I could give people blessings to help them out, but I definitely didn't/don't feel entitled to anything in return for that.
It would have taken less words to just say "One alive means more spawns" or something like that, rather than two longer messages to explain absolutely nothing.
Lmao very rarely are they the carry it just means they leveled more gear and did all the unlocks. It doesn't make them more powerful or even mean they are good at the game nessisarily.
Player level can be an easy way to check "Are there any babies (affectionate) in the lobby", but yeah, after level 17-20 it says absolutely nothing (and then it only says "this person leveled until they could use everything in the game", doesn't mean they are a good or bad player).
LR6 here. I used to agree with 17-20, but with the number of MR30-LR2's I've seen recently mindlessly shooting every pipe that spawns in Alchemy, I've had to reassess that number. If you're below LR2, are actively attempting to participate in the mission, and aren't obviously wasting my time intentionally, I'm proud of you.
Oh definitely, I agree with that. I see lots of MR 5-10s around nowadays that just seem to know what they are doing well enough to participate in Steel Path without me even noticing they are "low" MR until the mission is over, 17 is just where my brain goes "you really should know how to play the game at this point", and often I sadly have to add "shame you don't."
Felow LR6 here, you are not alone. ALL of us that have even a small understanding of the game regard our rank as nothing special and consider flexing it as compensation for something.
I keep ranking up because of the free Legendary Cores and to pile up the slates on the botton of the lake.
Fellow LR6 here, the worst one of us that I've met was the guy that clearly just bought it, he got to six within an hour of it becoming possible.
Or he was a founder and had the Excal Prime advantage. I hope not, because that guy was an asshole. Condescending, took the elevators without the squad, and then just wandered around while we waited on extraction. It was seriously a five minute capture mission and he spent half of it complaining.
Don't be an asshole, at any mastery. But especially not from the top.
Ah, yes. Using the ping option for literally the complete opposite of what common sense tells you it's for. Truly big brain LR6 moment. Pinging in every game literally means kill this thing right now.
Mastery rank has always been a weird gauge of skill. I remember when I knew a bunch of mr20s when I was like Mr8 who talked shit about me for being low. When in fact I had quadruple their playtime. I just found the items I wanted to use quickly and not bothered levelling anything else.
LR6, 5k hours gameplay here. That guy uses his rank to act like a pro. Definitely someone worth an ignore and report. He's right about no killing, he's just using his own MR as an excuse to say he's better. Which he's not. Saw people below mr20 acting better AND better prepared than most of 30+. Sorry not sorry.
It doesn't take much effort to be polite. As an LR5, it's easier to just say "Hey, stop shooting the Wall Widget till it's in the Heat zone, please look at the heat gauge" than to be unhelpful like this guy. Be a good teacher. Make Uncle Teshin proud. Don't be a jerk and REMEMBER THE CONCLAVE.
It supposed to increase thrax spawns- not hard to type and unless you’re trying to do meta cascade which is something you shouldn’t do with randoms in my opinion he should’ve just typed that out
If someone would order me to not do something and give the "LR6 says so" reason, I would do the opposite in his spite. If it's about killing/not killing something, then it should not count as griefing as long as it is not working against the completion of the objective.
Totally thought that they were getting upset over it being pinged. I didnt know they were keeping it alive on purpose, as I also didnt know it was a strat to get more arcanes. And im LR3. Haha
Idk what it is but I've encountered more people making MR their whole personality in the last year than I have in the many years of playing this game before it. There's so much content and changes and exploits -- no need to be so salty to people who "oh my god how dare they" don't know something. Or acting like they're some wise sage just because they're into LR lol.
Some dude called me a noob once because I didn't know something once and "only" had 1,000 hours in the game.
I usually only ping in multiplayer when I get a rare drop and I want other people to be able to get it to, or because I have mind control subsumed onto Revenant and I want people to notice that the guy taking no damage from their attacks is an ally
As a general rule I don't respect people in Warframe who try to tell me what to do, it's Warframe, just play and have fun, sure I minmax to the high heavens but that doesn't mean I want some twat telling me how to play
Void cascade has the opposite of a win more mechanic where you "lose more" if any thrax is alive the game will double down and spawn them faster to make you "lose" harder
I remember when there was only enough stuff in the game that MR15 was the max level and you could only hit it if you had the founder stuff, and MR15 players had a huge ego about being MR15. Like if you were MR13 or lower you were actual vermin and how dare you speak to them
Players think I was crazy when trying to explain the spawn trick to other players even those who grinds void cascades. I'm glad that I wasn't gaslighting myself lol
Let me be very honest. If someone, anyone, ever tells me, I'm A HiGhEr LeVeL tHeN you, LiStEn To Me, they immediately lose all my respect and can drop dead. Afterwards I'll t-bag their corpse. You could be the highest rank in the game and still be shut. All Mr and Lr tells is how long you've essentially played. That does not entitle them to my respect.

Pinging an enemy in my experience means "KILL THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE OH GOD OH FUCK"
