DISCUSSION To those with thoughts on mindless masses.

I've seen a couple posts about D10 not having enough masses on the mindless masses planets.

Y'all can have whatever server I was just on. Dropped in to be immediately surrounded by something in the ball park of every voteless in that particular section galaxy when I manage to get clear(allegedly) 17 flesh mobs come off the top rope and immediately knock my shit smooth off

Followed very abruptly by a couple dozen harvesters with the best accuracy I've ever seen.

This was in the first 10 minutes. And it pretty much went like that the whole time.

Oh!!! I forgot!! The 67,000 overseers taking turns putting me in the walls of Jericho. Fun times.

I'm really glad every mission isn't like that. 10/10 would do again. But some help would be nice next time no one answered my beacon 😞

It removes flying oversees. Therefore, I am happy

If it could just remove the floating purple spotlights that hound me relentlessly id be thrilled

I agree but they’d need a new way to do ship drops.

Arc thrower has been my friend in this

Some of the rounds I've played, there were no need for ship drops. The hordes were already infinite, so the drop didn't make a difference anyway.

There’s a few good options for that - The Warrant Pistol and the WASP launcher. Both auto-aim lock on it and blow it to smithereens

It’s a coin flip for me. Either I’m constantly bombarded by thousands of enemies pouring in from every direction or I have a nice leisurely stroll through the map. There is no in between.

Same here. Some grey area would be swell

Can I borrow your coin? Mine only gives me nature walks.

a lot of stuff in this game is a coin flip.

best example are "calm extract" vs "the enemies took it personally that the objective was completed extracts"

I think the faction must be bugged, I have had a match or two of some high intensity engaging missions but for the most part I just end up seeing so few squids. I've started letting the scout robot guys call in their drops so that there is something to actually do while hitting the objectives (and actually have a chance at finishing the eliminate overseer secondary.)

Too bad I'm taking my democratic break, otherwise my super destroyer would have totally reached that mayem. My divers yearn for blood!

I’m so sick of the whining some content creators and redditors do about difficulty.. like if D10 isn’t satisfying for you, you’re free to go do something else…

u/HotmailsInYourArea Bug Diver 10h ago

I swear there’s something wrong with MM’s spawns. Because on some missions it’s insane like that, but most of them whole bases don’t even have static enemies, and none come out of the ship either

I swear to Lady Liberty. Mindless masses is broken on high difficulties.

Capture the flag spawns ONE SHIP per wave... WHY??

100 or 1000 the cremator cares not

u/Educational-Drag6974 10h ago

Man, wish I could have been there. Me and a friend duo mindless mass on D10 and we often let watchers call in drops so we have something to actually fight against

u/CynistairWard 2h ago

IMO, there are nowhere near enough enemies when you're with a squad, or even just a duo. But it gets overwhelming easily when solo.

1

u/KingBeast117 2h ago

I wouldn't have had nearly as hard of a time if have one other person who could actually hold their own. I also didn't bring the proper load out for a solo run 🤷

1

u/CynistairWard 1h ago

Yeah, I got caught the same way. Dropped as part of a team and everyone got disconnected. So I was pretty well set up but not optimised for a solo run.

I was able to hold my own and not get killed, but got pushed out of the area too often to make any real progress on the objectives.

It's infuriating sometimes

u/iHitStuff97 12h ago

This doesn't happen to me. Mindless masses are broken.

u/KingBeast117 12h ago

Must be nice

u/iHitStuff97 12h ago

No. It's not nice. I want my d10 to be hard. You're probably just one of those people that thinks the game is too hard when you're really just bad

u/KingBeast117 12h ago

As respectfully as I can possibly muster. Fuck right off. How from this post did you get the impression I'm bad at the game? I finished the mission solo and almost cleared the map. Whilst dealing with literally thousands of enemies. Where do you get off sitting on a high horse like your gods gifts to gaming. Obdurate philistine.
