View Full Version : VICTORY! - Now to deal with the source of the problem - THE HIVE!

VICTORY!

Officials on the UCS Blackstar declare that the alien infestation has been contained. Mop up efforts are still underway. Later today, participants in the battle will be able to obtain the Pulse Accelerator Cannon.

Tracking efforts to determine the source of the alien infestation have turned up results. The species has been tracked down to a hive planet, swarming with aliens. Scans have also picked up a familiar and unexpected enemy, the Scorn! Together, the Scorn and the Aliens could be unstoppable, so dive into the Hive and stop them before it’s too late!


13963

Look for a patch later today, Friday, July 20th that will allow participants in the Infested Deck event to obtain the Pulse Accelerator Cannon reward and also open up access to the Hive. The Hive is an all new mission for characters level 35+ with new Weapons and Legendary Weapons to obtain

All I'm saying is I hope the Scorn in Hive are more manageable than the ones in Voleria. We need an easy map. The event leading go the expansion is sure creative.

But seriously, what's the final count? I was expecting us all to fail due to last count. I contributed what felt like 10k at most.

StompArtist
07-20-2012, 09:11 AM
The counter was coded in such a way that it stopped at 2 millions, I suspect.

stay positive, bro!

We asked new content and GIBBER made it! He invented new way to entertain us! Even without lvl cap raize!

New guns = new pvp style, new stats and i dont care they r reworked old ones - they r new anyway

Be thankful u don't need to rerun Voleria 10001 time

Well the luck enhancers helps you get better items. So if you're aiming to get pinks, then the luck enhancer should be used.

The Luck Enhancer does not work only if you are hunting for vanities.

We'll have to wait and see. If pinks are ALL that drops, like infested, then the enhancers would be useless because there's nothing to re-roll off of.

I don't mind the drop rates being relatively low. The thing that annoyed me about the pinks in Reactor Core is the boss takes a while to kill, but if you have no enhancer there is basically an absolute 0 chance of you getting a pink. Even with one miners luck I find maybe 1 or 2 pinks mostly gutters probably cause I'm slow. My post also does not mention anything about vanities not sure where that came from.

Ark

Well I think it will work like that because the dropping rates in Infested Deck was only vanity drops, not weapons/pink weapons.
BUT I may be wrong.

Just brainstorming :D I'm guessing that it may be similar. But even if they do use other drops than pinks, I wonder what they would use, especially since it's 35+

Yeah, I know what Humania is, I'm talking about the new added dungeons. I know "The Hive" won't increase the level cap, I'm just guessing it's something like when they added new dungeons to the earlier versions of PL (I use to play). We'll just have to wait and see! :)

Sent from my Nexus 7I just want armors like what she's wearing again, and I'm glad they used the level 35 armor in the picture, since it's a level 35+ campaign. The level 35 armors were godly awesome looking. I was hoping to finally get rid of the bow legs. Let's hope there really is new armor and not just weapons.

I understand it's a Scorn campaign, but the armors were really really bad looking IMHO. In theme awesome sure, but in general just not good. I personally keep the level 35 to walk around in town.
