    This might be a better alternative to farming my alt accounts. ;)​​

    Hi, I've been trying and being competitive with lame become devices for the past hour.

    I can see it getting boring fast though, but at the same time it's something simple and fun to do for a bit while killing time for cosmic respawns.

    I guess I could try this. It just feels super crummy, a bad dev decision.

    Also, I wonder how many will be farming BITE when I get a chance to play, Sunday morning/daytime. 100 players kills, on both sides . . . seems like a very long endeavor unless many folks are playing.

    Hopefully team kills increment the counter. that at least would speed things up 5x.

    Ooohh! kill credit! If 2 players damage the enemy it probably counts for both of them!

    It seems to count. I got both perks last night, it takes a bit of time but hardly horrible, though it didn't give me a strong desire to do it more.

    If you want to experience the calm and beautifulness of the desert while contributing to mild violence, go to ghostwitchcraft's spawn point.
    You couple of people know what i mean. =)

    I spent a lot of time there last year. The daily for killing wolves was actually pretty easy. Not that the other three BITE missions were doable really, and one of them didn't even reward Turakian Coins.

    Took the alt account out to the respawn in the Sasquatch village, and she died a lot.

    Then I remembered an even more obscure respawn point: the one in between VIPER and the Hunter Patriot areas.

    Luckily I had this perk from a few years back. But when I went to the desert and just played for the hell of it, I had a ton of fun.

    I was a wolf and I kept trying to find ways to ambush.

    If you get lycanthropy, you get locked out of progressing on BITE missions.

    This is such a poorly designed mission, though it's probably plagued by legacy code, but I really can't imagine anyone doing this without farming. It's tedious and glitched up.

    I farmed with a group of players yesterday. Our group was small, only 4 players, so it took around 2 hours for all of us to get both perks. We started slow, though. If I had another toon, and knowing what to do, could probably shave it down to 90 minutes.

    I listened to podcasts while farming.

    Cannot reproduce this. Was able to complete Lycan missions fine after Lycanthropy wore off (60 seconds) and after being defeated and turning into a Lycan.

    If you get turned into a Lycan and you want to do Hunter missions, you can talk to Claude to turn your back to normal, or get defeated normally.​​

    There is a bug whereby, as a werewolf, you can be infected by lycanthropy by a hunter. If you are then defeated you instantly rise as a werewolf, but in a glitchy state where you can't actually attack hunters.

    Hunters cannot infect players with Lycanthropy, only npc Lycans can do that.

    No idea how some players have managed to pull that off, but next patch will add in a extra safeguard against it. If that doesn't work, the best solution is to get defeated and reapply the talisman.​​

    I can confirm as a wolf I was infected....I didn't know what was really happening and I assumed it was something normal.


    Pretty much exactly how Panta desribed.

    Yup. Same thing happened to me. Until I just read it here I had no idea what had happened. I thought I had been somehow infected by a wolf. It only happened once, though.

    I cannot confirm that it wasn't an npc lycan (as both were present), but I checked my combat log and I never took damage from a lycan.

    When you are infected, you don't get credit for player hunter kills. Their health bars become gray, like neutral NPCs.

    Yes, you can get defeated and then go back to normal. That's a pretty unfun mechanic: get infected, die, then immediately try to die again to finish the mission. And yes, you can go to Claude . . . who kills you, so you can return to normal.

    It just isn't even a little fun.
