Maelstrom Raid Event - Slice & Blast, Lethal; Lilith Serpentine Shapeshifter, Event Rare

Jackson v2???? Wow that'd be a WILD event lol

Hey guys good evening night owls, I am asking another question lol. So I noticed that super raid bosses in this even previous do not give alot of points compared to later in the event. Is it worth killing it or is that a glitch?

lginn, it's almost only worth it if you can mvp it, otherwise jmvp and tagging net really low points until the last day. if you can mvp, you get tons of points

I got 30k for MVPing a lvl 10 SRB this morning. I had to all-out twice to secure MVP.

Yeah, everybody always goes bananas the first day of SRB, which is pretty shortsighted in my opinion because this is definitely a slow and steady wins the race kind of event. Don't worry about tagging SRB's in the first couple days, as you will only deplete your ammo supply for minimum points.

If you're really determined to do it though, I'd say it's OK to spend two cans per SRB for days 1 and 2 because it basically comes out to spending 1 can on a level 40-50ish boss. Anything more than that is just going to be you wasting cans.

It's a frustrating thing because the proc rates get heavily adjusted during SRB's, trying to force you to spend more ammo than you want chasing a pipe dream, so don't get too sucked in when trying to MVP an SRB. You get 1, maybe 2 shots if you're fast at trying to MVP a boss. If you can't do it after that, just mutter under your breath about proc rates and move on to the next one.

did u guys checked the top damage ranking with somebody unknown with 4 v2 colosus that did less than 50% damage but it says 60mil!! something wrong here

and the colossus is just hitting once instead of twice

Just watched the damage replay. Yeah, it has to be some kind of bug. At least I hope.

I was just thinking this morning that today is the day when Dakota usually hits the suck button for my squad's buff and proc rates because it usually coincides with SRB and sure enough, just did a full-auto attack for 8 million damage. This after yesterday doing 26 million damage on single shot.

I've also noticed my buffs and procs suck really bad whenever I "discover" someone else's raid boss. There has to be something in the code that lowers your process rate when encountering a raid boss this way because it happens pretty regularly to the point where I won't touch the bosses anymore, but will let the timer run out or let someone else take the MVP.

The problem is that I seem to be hitting other people's bosses every other battle now.

Dude i hit 5 of other peoples bosses in a row.. Yesterday It should fix itself, its still kinda bad.. Its like 2 out of 10

What's 2 out of 10, the number of untouched bosses you discover or your buffs & procs?

Lol the number of already discovered bosses i run into.. I knew you guys would get confused with that after i sent it

Pssht...just did 6 million damage on full-auto against an SRB.

And we're supposed to believe that nothing changes about the proc rate during SRB appearances. I've had more 1's, 2's, and 3 out of 8 buffs in the past half hour than I have over the whole course of the event.

Do SRBs give more points later in the event? Somehow I remember last night I coudl get over 30k but during this SRB period, it's capped at 30k (I noticed there's no mob bonus). I did have my highest AO of all-time at 36M  and did a little dance in my room. Overall though, the proc rates are skewed unpredictable and all over the place.

SRB's eventually cap out at around 96K, give or take a few thousand points; those are the level 50's though. Level 10's only give you ~30K.

Wow this proc bs is getting on my nerves... I'm wasting 2 cans on some raid bosses just to get stuck with jmvp.... Annoying :/

ya man same here, starting to piss me off lol

Yeah man i had some good luck the first couple days and now i'm happy to hit 10-14mil AO. I can't count how many times the tigrey and blues haven't Buff'd. The rigs buff most of the time but if the tig and blues don't buff i can expect my dmg to be down about 60%.

I've done a single shot for 11 mil, and a full auto for 8 today

My highest single is like 5-6mil my lowest AO was like 5mil

And i figured i was hitting 19-24 mil pretty consistently AO the first couple days so maybe it would go up some now? Ahahahaha no :/

I just did a full-auto for like 5.5 mil. I didn't think it could go that low for me, but I guess with proc manipulation, anything is possible.

On the other hand though, every time I fight an SRB Strap has tagged, my buffs and procs go through the roof. Ergo, the buffs and procs can at times be influenced by going up against someone who has a stronger squad than yourself.

Also, has anybody noticed if they get better buffs and procs using cans vs. mags? I feel like I get better results when I use cans.

Ugh, just violated my cardinal rule and spent 9 mags MVPing an SRB. I feel dirty.

Man i get 3 out of 10 buffs back to back to back... Unreal im trying to do this without using any cans this event but these srbs are robbin my ass

Damn...it seems like i make more points going three single shots over all out. My all out avg for today is horrible and has to be under 9mil

I don't know if i would feel worse having 3 out of 10 or the 2 out of 5 i'm averaging.

They both beeellowwwwww

I miss the days of having loads of noobs finishing off your SRB's for you after you've MVP'd them. Seems like they're wising up now and not touching them if they see they've already been MVP'd, leaving them to go to salt if you don't finish them yourself.

^^ haha yeah, nobody hits them, if theyve been mvpd. Same thing with regular bosses during srb..... Nobody hits them

Im taking the next couple srbs off.... I mustve mvped at least 60 earlier during the lvl 10 run..

I've lost 2 SRB's tonight due to that.

I'd love to do the same.

With the piss poor buffs and procs, this is just an infuriating grind.

Im saving the rest of my mags and disperse them all into 30s 40s and 50s especially with these proc rates right now, they were on point earlier, now i have a hard time getting 5 of 10. Ryback your blacks are doing ridiculous amounts of damage bro

I seem to get better procs with mags, it seems like when I use cans the procs go to shit to either take my can or make me use another one...

Idk I'd definitely say if you're a believer that part of the fun in playing games is getting pissed of this is the game for you lmfao  

^^ lmao

When i first started playing yes i was one of the noobs that if the boss was in the red i was all over it. Then i started going to see how much the boss was worth and wouldn't hit any under 1000 lol

Ahahaha my lowest was 1 of 10 buffs... Only in fatal frontier hahaha waiting for 0 of 10 so i can get a good laugh hahaha

It'll be a short laugh because your squad will all die in 2 rounds, lol.

And yes, when the game let's my NT's, Tigrey, and at least 1 blue bot buff (something that with 70% proc rates should be happening much more than it is), they can put the hurtin' on. It's both justifying and satisfying to see 18 mil damage come on one Ambush proc.


Ahh! It just happened. 1 buff out of 7.

Oh, sigh. Kiss my ass, game.

Lol ill get 9/9 and still only do 10 mil, then get like 4 or 5 and do 30 mil

Or do a all out and have no one buff then do a single mag shot and everything buffs.

Man, big ups (are the kids still saying that these days?) to forum newcomer lginn2003 for whipping some SRB ass. Seemed like every 5th SRB I clicked on had been tagged by her.

Kudos!

Yeah I agree; what's going on with the proc BS? Even weaken debuff requires multiple procs at times to "kick in." It's retarded and I wish Dakota would stick to a standard during an event rather than manipulate during. Hard to support a game that messes with you so blatantly.

Yeah you go girl!!! I see the same thing, mostly round 40mil damage done to the bosses already lol
good job:D 

thx guys. Yeah the merc dakota gave me well I get extra 1.5, snipping where I can and the proc for the splicers are good. the trindels are doing good with like 80 percent proc. I do have to tho use two full auto's to even get past the points to where you guys wont snipe my sh**. lol

I have the same problem this time round with the crap savages and BS proc rate with normal mercs so having to use two cans as well and no guarantee MVP either haha really sucks.
you are doing well, hope you have semi decent allie this time, you look to be in the L zone if you keep it up  

well mrpugs is a good one he is 88 atm but the others are 150's and during the last SRB they werent active well I didnt see and only saw like 20k points maybe a little more which I am sure Mrpugs gave them to me. The others guys Just to high for L. I may just walk away with 30's ranked. We will see stock getting low playing catch is hard. I was 15 on the first day took all night to get allies, and then play catch up will hurt even more. its tough.

Sign up to one of the teams on the forum, I guarantee you team FFF will share lots of points with you if you run with their team 1

Btw I have two very nice and sweet guys helping me improve my game. So you guys watch out YOLO lol j/k

lginn, there are several groups that haunt the forum that would be good for you to hook up with for future events. Top 50 and higher certainly fits the description of L Hunters & Team FFF, but for this event Team Fug Bug poached a few to hang out with us that don't have the fortitude it takes to chase a top 25 spot.

If you have some allies that aren't performing, join one of these groups next time around or just picking one or two solid allies can do a world of good too.

F*****g garbage procs. It's been three days since i've got 5/5 buffs and getting 6mil on all out is kaka.

And people wonder why I dont waste cans on this crap lol that's why ...i will sit in the 30's to 50's and spend no cans thanks

Wasnt trying to imply its not relevant, to those who took it that way, apologies.

Proc rates jacked up is still relevant and not everyone has been on forum along time and seen the process rate posts
