Ok parlope missions are easy


Parlope's surrounded by reds is NOT easy


Shooting Parlopes and having 6 reds appear all around you is NOT easy


Them following you still when they are 120m behind you is just NOT funny!



The amount of reds that have appeared on Talus lately has been 20x what it was when we started. Ok they're putting of contect for marksman etc. which is good but some of us have to actually TRAVEL.... ALONE.... I dont even look at the screen anymore, it's a little game of get your little white dot through the red ones on the radar. whilst i think of it WHY is there a radar if reds just spawn when your passing by?


Seriously, less **edit** pirates and stuff on talus please! Or at least make them mostly blue level, almost ALL red dots are RED enemies. And i'm a carbineer :/

I hear you man, it has gotten hairy out there as of late. But, why post this in the artisan forum?

Because we're the ones that's suffering i think. Hunting parties are having no probs. it''s us artisans who are out there alone most of the time

Ke-Khan,


If you are getting DB'd or such and do not like the amount of reds out in the hills, then may i suggest paying for an armed escort, ie a marksman, pistoleer, etc. I would glady take a fee to watch your back while you are out collecting from your harvestors. Just give a shout in a bank, cantina or starport and see what kind of respopnse you get.

Ihave this same problem, but i don't have money to spare to pay for somebody to "watch my back." Being an artisan sucks until you start making some stuff that nobody else is making. Seriously, I am making everything that i can, but i don't want to be like every other person making my items and clog up the Bazaar (which angers me). So really, I would agree that reds would be better if they weren't so *edit* hard to defeat. I am capable of being a Pikeman, but i don't have the skill points to give away, but i still run into an army of reds that con Red on a daily basis. I am tired of dying, hehe.


Show me the money....



Oh, and sorry that my post seems to make no sense, i had trouble saying waht i wanted to say, hehe.

I started as an artisan, but I've branched out into more agressive professions lately. Before leaving town see if anybody wants to go out/ pull a destroy mission in the same direction you're going. But, I highly suggest picking up marksman. Its a dangerous world, carry a blaster.

Actually Emperador, with the retarded spawn system, the most people in an area the more mobs spawn. So if you hire some body guards, the game will just spawn even more mobs than if you just went in the area by yourself.

Well i'm a carbineer, and i do have a 200damage laser carbineand ranged III so i'm pritty much able to look after myself against non red swamping army's.


The biggest problem is my shop which is on Talus, reds are constantly spawning there and any customers who come near are slain... they even follow you into the shop and slay you, therefore no-one comes.


Wouldn't it be a great feature of this game to be able to hire some marksman to come out and kill them for you? but alas no.. they just reapear 2 mins later

What about Turrets? Didn't the dev's say that turrets would be a feature to use when you build a house? I think that would counter act againts aggressive reds trying to kill your customers. I don't know because I have'nt gotten to that level and the only turrets I see are in Battlefields.

Oh and that is true about the spawning. At one time a group of me and two other guys whent Durni hunting and when we raided a Paralop's lair all hell broke loose. Paralopes kept spawining one after another attacking us but it was almost infinant, no matter how much we tried to kill the nest, no matter how much we fended them off, they kept coming. After the Paralope blood bath I'd say we had an estimate of 20 paralope corpses (not counting the ones that disappeared) underneith us. I wanted to get a picture but that was during the time I did'nt know what key did snap shot. Oh well. It was fun but scared us to death. I think these instances should be controled at some extent. A gun and some marksman skills help, but is that really enough?
