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

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

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

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

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?

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.

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. Raigonne wrote: CapitainePaul wrote: When will it start this year ?

If that's the case, how long do you think this will be?
