People really farm Hailey?

You are supposed to buy her and not grind for her. The new invasion system is made to discourage farming her. NEXON greed!
She should have been in Amorphous. That system was fine.

Not hard, make characters more accessible then sell their skins. You don't need PhD in marketing.
Just take a look at all those mobile games, they are all rich without getting backlash like this.

Mind you that Hailey is the only new thing in S1, and they pseudo forced you to buy her.

TLDR don't be overly greedy especially if you are new game.

Eh, i can wait until i farm the mats. I got every descendant except ult versions of Bunny, Ajax, Viessa and Gley. I made regular Ajax not long ago and Kyle is cooking atm. I think i can wait for Hailey doing regular farm.

Cried babies cried a drop rate so much, now Nexon put it in warranted way. Hope they won't let us farm ult freya this way.

The problem with buying the character is that unless you really want to progress the story, you'll have taken away the only thing pushing you to do the invasions.

If they'd been something you could speed from the start to the finish with Bunny, while not needing to care about mechanics, fair enough, that would give everyone a reason to play the invasions. But because they can be time consuming for a lot of players, generally the ones with bad gear or those that aren't particularly good at the game, this creates a problem where some people will complete them with ease and get Hailey without too much fuss and other people who will never be able to get her this way.

So instead of a mode that people pay to skip because they can't be bothered, and everyone else simply grinds to get the character, you now have a difficulty gate as well, I do wonder if this is intentional in order to drive people mad and ultimately give them another reason to buy her from the store. On the other hand, they have tied the continuation of the story to the game mode so I think this is more likely a lack of forethought on their part.

It's a looter shooter game, you are supposed to farm?
Is farming for 12 days really that bad? If so than, maybe this game isn't for you?
Free to play doesn't need to have Hailey day 1.

Considering Infiltration Operations is more rewarding now since you get tons of gold with invasion. I rather farm Infiltration Operations for Hailey gives me weapon xp as well which I need. Tons of Amorphous also and seasonal quest / iron shard compeletions.

lmao another butthurt that people will have her 2 weeks earlier from the shop. nobody cares if you will have her or not, really.

I would suggest using the Infiltration operations to farm the character while you wait for next weeks update. I'm aware everyone's luck is different, but I've done several infiltration operations today and got a Hailey drop every time.

You may as well try your luck, since the amount of times you can run the invasions is limited, not to mention it takes longer for most people to do them than most infiltration missions.

Gamers are just so ridiculous. Would you work for free? I don't think so. Stop thinking of devs as a charity. There are there to make money.

drones are easy as cake to do. just need to match at minimum one or two symbols and then stand on the drone for the detonation.
