Well, looks like Season 8 has brought out the couch potato warriors. :rolleyes:
Over the past hour in the Allied zone, I've witnessed players just waiting at certain easy hotspots, waiting for players to do missions and spawn the Voth, and all they have to do is just fire their weapons to get kill credit, in order to complete the Daily.
Which is funny since you can be done with the daily in a few minutes if you did it yourself. Just shows how lazy these people are. Well given that they actually have to do work in the Battlezone for that daily and no longer AFK in Events, should've seen it coming. :rolleyes:
Note to the Dev Team:
Instead of nerfing the daily and hosing over the honest players who do it legitimately, how about you do something similar to the Academy Event, where kill credit goes towards the spawner. So the Voth spawn, people can help, but they won't get any kind of credit.

Console? Huh? What are you talkinga bout Ash?
I'm talking the daily in Allied Zone, not the Battlezone.
Every generator capture zone has a console you use to start the device.
EDIT: Ah nvm, misread. Thought you meant the battle zone. Disregard the above.
I care, that's what! I HATE people mooching off other's work instead of getting off their rears and do it themselves. :mad:
They aren't helping, they are taking advantage of the situation and capitalizing. That's promoting bad behavior that's only going to drag the rest of us down. Remember how people take the easy route, well doesn't get any easier than sitting in one spot and pushing a button now does it?

I know, it's stupid easy and yet, there they were just sitting there. It really boggles the mind.
In the time sitting there, they could've went into one of the Events and earned another commendation or go to the Battlezone and earned enough marks to buy 5 days worth.
It is incredibly stupid to behave like this for the daily mission. Apparently these people are not aware of the fact that there is one sidemission which almost completely fills your daily meter up to 100%. You only need a few seconds for the allied zone daily if you are smart.
lol i literally had a guy following kailiana around earlier as i was doing my daily. i was like GTFO. He never shot anything.

Tractoring a ship and killing swarmers >_> 85 percent or so, 45-60 seconds of "effort"

Gnaa ... I didn't mention this mission for a reason. Now Cryptic will most likely nerf it into the ground to make it more on par with the other missions.
Can't be me. What I find frustrating is, I want to help but ships keep appearing behind mine in the Sphere and -- since I'm in an Orion Marauder ship -- turning is a bit on the slow side. By the time I turn around, either most of the fighting is done or all of it is. Either I crawl around at the slowest speed (which is not exactly enjoyable), or travel at a good speed (and run the risk of missing out on the action) so that I can actually get from point A to point B without feeling like I'm swimming in molasses. I guess if I had a Voth ship or an Obelisk ship it probably wouldn't be a problem, but I have neither. I like my Marauder ship, that it has fighter ships, that it's usually good enough for most space battles.
i can relate to the OP that certain type of parasites always looking to do something nasty at some point. but in this case does it really matter too much with a daily? it's not like your obsessed to the point that statistics are your life. but in certain pve games or pvp games, kill stealing is the lowest thing a person can do.

The game usually seems to use tagged kills, so loot wise, I don't believe so. Then again there's really not a lot of places where unteamed players are fighting in the same area to solidly test. The issue being raised here is mission credit, though, not loot. Which, compared to the other examples:
Academy event: Leecher gets mission credit, "Worker" does not.
Queue AFK: Leecher gets credit, Workers forced to put in greater effort but also get credit.
Adventure zone kill stealing: Leecher gets mission credit, Worker puts in lesser effort and also gets credit, as well as getting much greater credit for the mission which the leecher does not get.
Yeah, I'm thinking "Not at all the same problem."

Looking for something new to play? I've started building Foundry missions again in visual novel form!

It is possible.
Let's say the location you are at spawns the Iconian Probes and/or Swarmers. Someone could finish them off before you even get a chance to fire. While you get credit for completing the mission, but the basic score you get isn't as high as you would if you killed those swarmers and probes.
That's why I suggested having something like the Academy Event, where they don't get the credit, but you do.
EDIT: Yep, after I posted it, this actually happened. Spawned probes and swarmers in a ship rescue and some JA in an Avenger comes FAWing his way in and killing most of them while I was stunned by the stupid Viral Matrix. It would've meant my daily if I had killed them, so I had to go spend another 10 minutes working on missions to finish up the daily.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH CRYPTIC!
Hey, I like my little Acer. Yeah, the processor runs hot sometimes for various reasons. But it works well with my TB External and all I have to do is back my stuff up. Which, by the way, should be done regardless of computer type.
For the record, I also have a 1080 from "yesteryear" that I plug my laptop into. The image is still sharp and Netflix loves it. Just saying.
You haven't been down to nimbus very often then. People AFK farm Dil there by planting their Boffs in a spread pattern in the area where the romulans spawn.
Also, there's a good chance some of what you're seeing in the allied zone are bots AFK farming.
So, sadly, it does get much easier than pushing a button.
Devs, I know you are reading this and I expect you to do something. It's not teamwork when people are using you for their own benefit.
And the same can go for the Ground Battlezone as well, with those Battle Points, if you capture a sector by yourself, and someone comes along and takes those pink balls away from you, that's just plain LAME.
Yea, and I do hate it when someone takes your rewards from under you. They just sit back and wait :P. But, that is like about every game someone does stuff like that.
Truthfully... you get your 5 VCI just by going to ONE V-Rex fight and killing it. you may get a little more Dil for showing up at all 3 but I'm not even sure about that.
