I do have an issue with lepus base

how does one do the base if you have smaller legion or not enough big hitters?

like you can have a FULL legion and still not be able to do it because you don't have 5 hitters over level 500

like can't dan switch it so that anyone member can trigger a 5 chromatic disruptions and just have to wait 5 hrs before hitting the lepus base
wasting 2500 E solo for a elite just to hit it should be punishment enough


it better than trying to get people from other legions to visit just to kill it

That's sort of the price you pay for not being in a legion with an abundance of other players around your own rank unfortunately.

Idk what legion you're in or whether your a leader there, so i don't know if you're in a position to jump up to a legion with a dozen or more around your rank(even temporarily for seasonals), but those are the breaks sadly.

the solution is to open the elite up to all players on legion and to only allow those that hit enough damage to collect or only those above 500 to collect
that way any smaller legion can hit it - a few top players can collect and down it - but it still requires 5 players to work coop on it with the chromatic beam


otherwise dan is building an unfair advantage to some legions over others - and dan has to make things fair across all legions


as it stands now it impossible to do for small legions or those with not enough players over 500
even with 5 players over 500 it's almost impossible - you try to coordinate 5-7 people from different time zones to hit at the same time

for god sakes it's an elite - not a boss
and i can solo bosses

it's tough enough to solo for one person if you allowed for them to do so (with the 5 hr delay and the 5 chromatic hits for 1 player)
that's a lot of E and a lot of work

another solution is for each beam to reduce repair by 20% - so the base can only repair 80% of damage done(if a single beam is used)- once it uses repair then new hull cap on base -so you slowly whittle down the base even with the repair

How do you think those same legions fair with regular Elite npc's? .. you get to the point where 1 or two people above X rank can only see certain NPC's (how many out there have only 1 or 2 people that can see clusters?). It's the same situation, a seasonal event should be no different.

At that point you have 2 choices: 1) get more members to rank up / add more members of a higher rank, or 2) leave and join a different/larger legion with more members your rank range (or higher).

If you see it you should be able to down it - simple

costs/difficulty should go up if you are fewer or solo thats all

i can deal with the fact i don't see bosses or elites because Im too low - not high enough rank

Id rather have that than this


if all you need is 4 other people to hit it with the chromatic beam - and not hit it with any other attack
that's a solo with 4 others expending E for a ability or beam

whats co-op about that???


Why not having to earn the 5 chromatic hits(arti) with npc'ing for another lepus npc

then you wait until next year or have open recruitment and invite some heavy hitters to drop by.

Spot on from the Senator.
You may as well ask "how do I kill Silthion Clusters by myself?"
The answer is the same... you don't.

I would suggest instead of posting how unfair it is, you could instead post asking for visitors keen for a chance at those elites.
There may well be travellers now willing to pop in to help out, so best to post and see I reckon.

Yeah I know i can recruit visitors
but it isn't quite worth it unless they aren't loyal yet or already lone wolfs
and i am in contact with other legions...again if no one wants to move (loyal) and doesn't want to lose loyalty for a few days visit isn't worth it


beside you have to arrange everyone to be avail at same time otherwise the move is useless
not fair to make people wait for others to get online nor for people to move and then someone craps out and can't make it
i won't waste the time of someone willing to move/visit

it would almost work better as a legion center mission

besides im old school - earn it the hard way

it's just my 2c...

open recruitment is a pain when you have a roaming player take spots from regular members ..ie pops in takes a spot(on multiple elites or bosses) pops out every day or so and does it again
it's ok if you're invited

Bio-Con's are so damn rare.

Extremely rare pool:

79 queens
20 RSL's
7 Bio-Cons

During which I have acquired 6000 dark badges.

They are so rare compared to the other extremely rares its crazy

Seem to be a 10:1 ratio, queens:bio-con, or less than a 10% chance to spawn vs a queen.

STUPIDLY rare.

Well I heard that Easter is on March 27th this year. This gives me a thought that the event might begin either next week or during my spring break. Wonder what will be new this year.

I'm sure we can expect another cuniculus upgrade, more chromatic cannon upgrades, lepus drone/auric drone 6.0. My thought is that there will be a planet scan aspect to it if it follows the pattern on that having been introduced to every other seasonal.

2015
Q-pedds-scan event new for this seasonal
Lepus-skipped event for scan
Elios-scan event new for this seasonal
Chuhn-skipped event for scan
Bane-scan event new for this seasonal
Harvest-skipped event for scan
Scruuge-scan event new for this seasonal So that takes us to 2016
Q-pedds-skip(already has scan)
Lepus-scan new for this seasonal
Elios-skip(already has scan)
Chuhn-scan new for this seasonal
Bane-skip(already has scan)
Harvest-scan new for this seasonal
Scruuge-skip(already has scan)

Just my thoughts anyway. We'll see.

If that's the case Pitch Ninja, then what do you think will come for the scan? An NPC, an item for a new seasonal mission, or just an arti for the planets?

yeah I was thinking about that.
Q-pedds scan led to a planet structure
Elios scan led to a planet structure upgrade
Bane scan led to ship mod upgrade
Scruuge led to planet structure

I would guess that an item for seasonal mission would be out since there is the one already. Maybe an upgrade for ship mods like Bane? My next guess was something that upgrades the existing planet structures dropped by the elites.

Likely. Anybody else want to drop their two cents on this?

And Spock has posted a forum about this year's event. Which means it'll likely go live within a couple days give or take.
