Just wanting to express a concern about some of the tasks in the new legion missions such as Encounter at Nabai.

I can understand wanting to make the NPC task challenging but the amount of time it takes to do some of those tasks is absurd. Probably took me at least a total of 7-8 hours of NPCing to complete task #1 of Encounter at Nabai. Lost track of how much energy I went through. Leveled up 3-4 times before completing it.

That task is so time consuming and all the other tasks depend on people taking out 200 of those drones before they can start the other tasks.

I know in our legion's 1st attempt at this mission it will fail as most people are not willing to take that amount of time and energy to complete task 1 and by the time we got enough people taking out 200 of those drones, there was only limited time left to work on the other tasks. Odds are the legion mission will be a failure.

Please reconsider these absurdly long tasks as I know it is unlikely I'll be willing to participate in them in the future. not willing to sit for 1-2 hours at a time NPCing and then still need to do that a # of times before completing the task.

Consider it a lesson learned, that if you aren't willing to NPC for a set number of hours, then an NPC task on any of the new LM's won't be for you. I'm especially concerned that you won't even NPC for 1-2 hours at a time....

What rank are you? You say you gained 3-4 ranks, but that could mean as few as 1k NPC's killed for some ranks, or as many as 3-4k for others. I believe you're rank 900 or so, as such that's likely a fair few NPC kills managed.

We recently had Darmos Games in EoTS, and it took me 3-4k NPC kills to complete the task across 4-5 hours of NPC'ing.

It's also worthwhile mentioning, once again, that not all Legion Missions should be attempted by Legions. There are Legion Missions that some legions will just not be strong enough nor ready enough, or dare i say, coordinated enough to complete, in a competent or timely manner, if you get one of those LM's, then you should either wait it out, skip it or struggle through it.

You're in DoO correct? From what i can see of that legion, and what i know of that legion in terms of activity level/willingness to coordinate, i'd wager a fair few gave up inside 10 mins of not finding one of the NPC's needed. As such i can shed some sympathy for the fact that even if you had completed your 20 silthion npc's, its unlikely anyone else in your legion would have done so.

Just from looking there are so many ~rank 600 players there, and i'd guess the majority are mission focused and unlikely to have ever done any concerted NPC'ing on the level of which these new LM's require.

I won't say right now that this LM doesn't need changing at all, because we in EoTS have yet to see this LM.

That said, a fair few complained their balls off(they now lack said balls) that Darmos Games NPC's or Bralkir NPC task was a pita waste of energy, and it took far too long.

We have since had both of those LM's in EoTS, and i can say with all honesty, that those people were whimpering about an NPC task that took everyone here just a few hours of concerted effort in NPC'ing to finish.

These were high ranks complaining about having to NPC for prolonged periods of time, which lets face it, post rank 1k, there ain't nothing but NPC'ing to do, so if ya don't like it, you won't be best pleased.

I'm now rank 1206 thanks to that legion mission task.

Taking out the exodrones wasn't an issue for my ship. the issue is how absurdly long it took to find those exodrones.

Our legion has a lot of co-ordination for those type of missions. Just ones like this take way too long to complete and not good for the body to have to sit there for such a prolonged time to complete tasks like that.

haven't seen this missions so far

but from what you are saying rank 1200'ish and 4 ranks to do it
it sounds like it it is the same dificulty to do as the hunt for Darmos Drones (Darmos Games LM) and Bralkir warships (The Tenebris Discovery (Late Timeline))

if that is corect, I dont think the task is to dificult


as for finding and killing 200 drones.....
if you have 15 members doing the task, they each need to find 13,3 drons , that should take around 2 to 3 hours to do, and after that task 2 should no longer have a autofail risk

we got it today while I was at Work, so joined it a bit late
took me around 2 hours to find and kill 15 Silthion Exodrone

1 rank = around 25K energy, .....didnt do a kill Count, but proberly around 2K kills for half of them



"only" 100 clicks = 500 energy pr kill

so this one is actualy easy, compaired to Darmos Drones (Darmos Games LM) and Bralkir warships (The Tenebris Discovery (Late Timeline))

with 15 members on task1, we should have the 200K kills done in less then 24 hours, leaving the other members 48 hours to do task 2 + 3

so, no I dont realy see the problem....


but I do agrey with 1 thing, this mission isnt for low rank players
I wouldnt want to try this with a rank 500 ship as the Silthion Exodrone would be 3 to 4 times harder to find at that rank

so a minimum legion Avg Rank 600+
might be a good prerequest, before a legion have a chance to get this mission

Just posting my experience on one round of this for others looking at the mission, it took me 2200 NPC kills to get the 30 exodrones for my task. Took focus, but not as steep as Dramos at all.

well ICBLF

they proberly made a nest somewhere betwen deck 23K and 24K, so all you had to do was have your Tactical Officers seach your own ship to find them




I picked up around 300'ish Dark badges doing that task - so proberly completed it in 3K kills or so
as I remember it Darmos drones took me around 5K kills

so this one isnt realy all that bad if you like killing NPC's

Like the Colossal Multi-verse annihilator. Heh, would be cool if it were in the game and there were a medal that were awarded for it that gave some kind of super weapon
