* Taming The Dragon Event - Thoughts?

hey mud so the highest wave i currently made it to was now 12 - 13 and it just takes a nose dive after 10. the enemies do alot more damage and for some reason they are really fast and just run the hell away. they pretty much either force you to chase them down (which they are faster then you) or wait for them to come back around to you. both of these are just a waste of time. the issue here is that the only way to gain time is to beat all the enemies in the wave, but thats impossible to do as half of the enemies have either alot of hp or they run away with their bumpers between their wheels. imo its just not possible to do after wave 10 because it relies so heavily on killing enemies very fast and their hp gets pretty ridiculous. i also think their small size is a hinderance to because half the time my retchers, cyclones and joules just dont hit them. i know joules more inaccurate then the cyclone but still. their small hitboxes are an issue for me.

they have parts from many factions. titans from the ravagers, starfalls, kaijus, yongwang, scorpions, thunderbolts(?), gravastars, tempuras, nests, trombones, enlightenments, acari (yes they actually have acaris)… i think they have a few more as well. the most annoying one they have though is the starfall, if you dont get rid of them and i mean right off the bat, they deal stupid amounts of damage and they purposefully aim above your weapons so the explosion damages them with the full explosion damage without losing damage.

what weapons have you come across on them? i think i came across the spark but im not sure.

Seems the higher the wave, the more raiders are involved. Making it almost impossible to win being over run by AI like a colony of Ants at a picnic.

it also seems you cant manipulate the areas they spawn at either, the winter mayhem had a spot where you could camp and toss porcs over a hill before they get to you, this doesnt have that.
also i find it funny that the map is just the winter version pve map of the event just without snow… :man_facepalming:

I thought they were hammerfalls :laughing:

are they? i cant see them that well because of the paint they have on the cars. the paint makes them blend in. plus i shoot them off before they get to me so… yeah… :unamused:

Hammerfalls have a red trail on the pellets they shoot, kinda like gavastars, but different shade of red, little lighter. I’ve seen those trails come from the event cars.

can’t even kill the first boss Wave 6 i think it is…( no time left )
we all said there should be more time…

but here we are again…thanks :rofl:

on wave 8. yeah having the same issue. waves give next to no bonus. enemies often times run away from you wasting time to.

also getting team mates that are next to fucken useless.
some guy has no weapons and is running nothing but barriers. some walker running into me and the god damn barrier guy running into me like idiots. hes running a heather which is useless… wtf…

also holy shit these rewards are garbage… 12 - 14 plastic and 24 - 25 copper on wave 8…
you dont even have enough time to fight the damn boss! by the time you kill all the enemies that 30 second boost will have been for nothing!
ugh epic fail on the devs parts.

bad teammates is nothing new on XO and is the result of devs pushing good players out for nearly a decade with garbage like grenadiers, anni drones, or the new autoaim sticky grenade launcher.
Especially worse when there’s any kind of basic rule to understand besides holding W and left click. I swear half the people in heli games still don’t undestand what the orbs are for.

The rewards aren’t good anyway, so I’ll just sit this one out. Not worth it IMO.

i dont find the rewards to good but i am doing it for the free storage / blueprint dats storage expansion they have at the end. i mean hey i could always use another inventory upgrade lol.

Trash event (trash rewards + random sheepies ruin everything).



Like damn, that’s 10.5 coins (not including 10% tax) for 9 1/2 mintues in a FULL PACK where everyone knew what to do and had some really good builds.
If you’re already in a group just go farm invasions lol, and with random sheepies getting to the 13th wave is basically conquering mt. Everest

If yall are having issues with this shite i’d highly recommend catalina + 3 gravastars build, this one just rips
Even with the most sheepie sheeps i was getting to the wave 10 no problem

catalina is a light cabin though. would it hold up well through the waves?
the damage bonus would be nice though…

believe it or not the imugi in this mode is pretty funny and really good.
sometimes my barrage of bomblets will stop an enemy in their tracks. like it hits them with so much force it just completely holds them still. other times they will run over a bomb and go cartwheeling into the air. i think its pretty hilarious lol.
my set up is 2 imugi, 1 king, oyabun, oculus VI, 1 cyclops, 1 odin, a bunch of ammo boxes, hadron.
the reload rate of this is… fricken stupid lol but it works!
it fires so fast i can lay down a literal mine field and blow the enemies to bits. it also works stupidly well on the boss to. just hit him from afar and hes toast. takes care of him pretty quickly.

made it to wave 11 but after wave 8 enemies get way to tanky.
39 copper and 23 plastic.

you can easilly get 3k hp. if everything’s fuzed you can go for more. it’s not insanely much but it works simply because you have way too much DPM.

they aren’t. this mode is DPM-oriented weapons and imugi outputs way too little DPM to get the job done

on later waves the guns struggle a bit but on earlier waves they take enemies out pretty well.
im trying to figure out a good weapon to run with the catalina if i do end up getting it. the jackie increasing that damage by a further 15% is just stupid but…
hey it might work well with reapers as those never stop firing.



literally easy wave 13 with random people

everything can take early wave enemies pretty well though?

grav, obviously

btw, a team with all gravs can reliable get to the 15th wave. if you have something like doppler-carriyng joule in your team + 3 gravs you might be even getting to the wave 20
