Finally, a bunch of people I never play with won't be able to use a method I never use on a match combination I only play when it comes up on random.

Is it my freaking birthday?

****s not given: over 9000

Watch as they give regular geth troopers the ability to throw grenades. Frag grenades.

But seriously I don't see anything wrong with FBWGG farmers except for almost all gold lobbies being FBWGG (but that's what your friends list is for). At least they're contained in one map. Even when I play FBWGG, I still encounter a lot of farmers who don't know what they're doing so imagine them spreading to other maps.

I think there could be one solution for farming:
Introduce a Platinum difficulty, where the enemies are not so much different from current cold, maybe a little bit buffed up. But make it so, that every platinum game is unknown/unknown. And let the credits reward be higher than on gold.
This would encourage to built a squad that can hold its own against any enemy, would bring a small surprise for each game and reward players / teams that are capably to quickly adopt to a given situation.
Let the farmers go on farm gold on any map/enemy they like

I will stop "farming" when the RNG gives me the few weapons i still dont have.

after that i have had enough with it.

Wow... someone's mad they can't farm anymore.

[SupidSeep]

For myself, it's not the farming that bothers me, it's the braindead boredom! Nowadays when I search for Any/Any/Gold, I autoquit if I end up in a lobby for W/G/G, so I haven't noticed the changes in W/G/G. I don't care to sit in a corner of the map for 1/2 hour.

FBW/G/G farming is about the challenge a developer wishes to present to its player base. When they see a flaw that makes the harder difficulty turn into a " farm" . They are going to adjust it and bring back that challenge. That is what this is truly about.

[incinerator950]

So when are they actually going to fix the netcoding, or the Falcon/Vanguard/Biotic/delay/wall bouncing?

You know, the real problems?

[Hypertion]

the best thing they can do is give Geth Troopers Shields.

I really never understood why they dont.

FBW/G/G has gotten boring at this point, but i have no friends who play often enough that i can get my one requirement to play UUGs. A good Group that actually uses their FREAKING MICS FOR TEAMPLAY. Randoms seem to NEVER do this.

when i first started i never even played with anyone else. always just soloed on bronze via private lobbys. when i hit 130 or so N7 and could easly solo entire games with my vanguard i finally joined a lobby for getting some credits and getting some actually useful weapons.
Mind you i had a Black Widow 3 at this point.

Who said they were specifically targeting FBWGG? Geth aren't exactly the most dangerous enemy. Their heavy unit is nearly a joke, their other heavy unit is just infantry, and everything else is just a trooper with a different gun and a shield.

Did it never occur to you that they would attempt to balance it to make geth gold matches actually a challenge? a buff to them is overdue, not because of farming, but because they're hilariously underpowered.

[LeandroBraz]

Just to join the choral, when they released what would be modified in the geths? Far as we know they will change something, nobody know if the idea is to end noveria's farming, or if noveria will even be a target. Maybe they will nerf the hunters, the truth is that nobody know yet..

[Distilled Poison]

"Wow... someone's mad they can't farm anymore."

Congratulations, you are a retard.

[Ankarah]

we dont necessarily have to assume that all them geth farmers will now pour unto our regular gold lobbies, but i understand your frustration with people sticking their nose where it doesn't belong.

my neighbors don't care if i brush my teeth with a donkey poop on a toothpick,
why do people here care so much what i do in my own game?

beats the hell out of me every single time i see one of them threads...

this is true.

Geth are such a joke compaired to the other Enemy Forces. even when i played solo i knew this as i mostly used Vanguard and the Geths lack of Sync Kill ment i could solo them on any map.

even on gold a Vanguard can take on Geth head on tho it is much more difficult because a single stray hunter shot can kill you after a nova. you have to be more selective in your targets but beyond that you can still Charge Primes and get off without a scratch.

[Cyonan]

We don't even know what the change is going to be, just that it's going to deal with Geth spawns.

It could just be something like 1 more Geth Prime can be up at one time on the higher waves. That wouldn't stop farming.

[defleshing]

i find the opposite true i hate getting geth i get killed by them more than anything else

[Magicman10893]

I biggest problem I see is that as it currently stands when you find yourself in a FBW/G/G match you know that it is a farming match. After it is "fixed" we'll see people spreading out onto the rest of the maps and trying to camp farm there. So then there'll be like a 50/50 chance of being on a random map (such as Glacier for instance) and then finding out that two or three people are trying to camp farm and with the other one or two playing normally and either failing (since they're alone pretty much) or leaving because they want to play it "the right way."

Even that won't be enough. The primes are considerably pathetic when compared to the other heavies. They have no insta-kill (less of a threat in CQB, make shotgun infiltrators jobs easier), they have no supporting heavy troops to improve their effectiveness (pyros don't harmonize well with them), and their weapon is barely on-par with that of an atlas.

They need to improve the rate they'll fire their weapons, not just increase the number of them. In GoW terms, you can send as many Butchers as you like, but sending in a lesser amoung of Maulers will always be the far bigger threat.

It not being enough is sort of my point.

We don't know that this specifically is a change that is targeting FBW/G/G farming. It might just be a change to the Geth that isn't intended nor does it do anything to change the farming method.

[CarlTheNoob]

ahhh yes, more people complaining about something that was completely avoidable from the beginning.

[mybudgee]

Hoppers..?

[D4rk50ul808]

Geth are the most difficult enemy to a mobile team. They are only easy if you stay in cover.

[RazRei]

FBWRG with a Biotics team is faster, and its not like you need a lot of team coordination to do that **** either.

Asari Justicar/Drell Adept x2
Human Novaguard x1
Whatever the **** this guy wants to play x1

Same for FBGRG Biotics team is faster time wise then FBWGG. I just don't understand why people don't understand how to play this game by now and what works with what.

Hey look, it's the forum in a nutshell!

I agree the Primes are too easy... but those little geth turrets they spawn behind you will wreck your team if no one figures out that it's there fast enough.

FBWGG has it's place... and that place is for players who are new to Gold. I learned to play on Gold on FBWGG, now I can play UUG like it's nobodys business. Another thing that is nice about FBWGG is I can run a stupid class and experiment without having to deal with all the annoying Vanguards on silver. For instance: I never used the SMGs because I couldn't ever figure out a decent setup with them... after trying all of them on FBWGG I got a good idea of how to use them effectively, and now I take this knowledge with me to UUG.

Why do people care so much about other peoples business anyway? If you can't consistently find good random lobbies, do what every other good player does... GET A MIC AND MAKE SOME FRIENDS! I have about 15 really good players in my little circle of friends now so I rarely get stuck with a random idiot, nor am I forced to carry the team, nor am I forced to play my Salarian Engineer on FBWGG anymore either.

Question: What constitues farming anyway? Camping?
