Invasion missions are great
To all the people claiming the new invasion mission are bad and want them removed, learn to play the game. For a month now you’ve been accustomed to running around as bunny and pressing one button to nuke the entire field. Now that you have to use your brain a little and stand in place of objectives you can’t use your same old tactics. Learn other descendants, change your play style, adapt. The new invasion mission are extremely easy and a welcomed addition to the game as it’s forcing players to make change.

Total BS. This game is a coop looter-shooter - noone in good mental health wants to solve (poor designed) riddles in solo mode. First season is a fail, lets wait and see if they will improve it in 2nd...

PS: To clarify the message from previous statement in more civilian way: If someone wants to play a couple of missions with friends shooting lots of mobs he (obviously) starts coop shooter. If someone wants to spend his own time solving a couple of riddles he (obviously again) starts a puzzle-game.
I still can't get what was the point to mix that different things in one box. What for? Will it bring new players in the game? - definetely not. Will it help to hold current players in the game? - 've some doubts.

PPS: All aforesaid is just a personal opinion. No offense. I'm just disappointed with new patch - there is still nothing to do in the game - the old content is completed, the new content (at this moment) is looking weird :(

The only thing I hate about it is the low drop rate of Hailey.

But as far as time spent and speed running, it is probably one of the most rewarding content in-game. I enjoyed it.

Unfortunately, with them being speed runs, they still cater to classes like Bunny. Time wasted traversing areas with slower characters can be the difference between gold and silver, or silver and bronze.

I agree the new game modes mix things up a bit. I found my Freyna to be exceptional in Tower Invasions, but quite weak in Platform Invasions, making the invasions accommodating to more characters, but Bunny is still essentially the S-Tier choice for Invasions.

She can traverse quickly, basically just nuke everyone while jumping on the platforms in Platform Invasion, and run around instantly destroying all the growths to reveal the symbols in Tower Invasion.

Though Freyna was S-Tier in Tower Invasions as well. Her poison was busting up entire pillars of growths at a time, allowing for very quick symbol reveals, making both my runs gold runs.

However, I think Platform Invasion is going to be much better suited for tanky characters who can sit still while the platforms unlock, and not taking too much damage. I see Ajax being a S-Tier in this one, assuming he has enough damage to kill the boss quickly. The boss in Platform Invasion was tanky as hell. The Tower Invasion boss was squishy as could be.

Either way, the complaints are aimed more towards the repetitive, fairly boring mechanics of these new modes, and how many times we will have to do them to unlock Hailey.

The puzzle is very well designed what’re you talking about. You shoot the totems to reveal the symbol, then find the robot with the matching symbol in the correct positioning. It’s really not that difficult to understand and it’s a completely new game changing mechanic.

Why mentioning my thicc rabbit again... the bunny hunterz are coming...
No really, it's just an addition to the current content. Nothing more, it's not interesting but it's only like 4 run per day

I got gold playing as both Hailey and Luna so your bunny argument is invalid.

I play Blair and lepic, I understood the mechanics and completed the first missions.
But I still find it boring and annoying.
So your theory is wrong

nah he's cool, unique and different, amazed us with his genius take by going against the stream and defied all of us!!!!

The color matching one was actually fairly enjoyable and easily done in 3 minutes, though I admit I am probably stupidly overgeared for it. I was actually sad I couldn't do it a third time today.


But then the other one.... oh boy...

Second time I managed to get gold on it (had a miserable bronze first time trying to learn it) but that mission puts so much stress on the player from multiple angles it's simply unfun no matter which way you look at it.

All the constant mob spawning, the time constraint, the need to look out for pylons and where the drones are at, the need to keep track of symbol order and then on to find the stupid robot strolling around amidst all the chaos and his clones (and if he's turning away from you you see the symbol order mirrored rather than always facing you)... then that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ boss on top of it all and he's active from the getgo rather than hibernating until you crack his shield...

Nothing but pain, that one. No amount of skill or build minmaxing will spare your mental sanity.

Unrewarding would be my take on them.

That last boss with the heat seekers is driving me nuts...
