Why do people camp in survival missions?

[Wel Wyrmin]

I don't see any point to it. I mean there is defense you could go which would be far more suited for your little tea parties.

I understand you get affinity and all, but if you skip 99% of the gameplay by just sitting still why even bother playing? Of course you can do that if you don't mind it, but don't force this camping fever to others. I ain't gonna sit in one corner of the large map you've been given for tens of minutes. If you want to have your tea party why not invite your friends for the session and not force others to go along with it?

Like seriously. I recently played a Survival in Draco to get my relic opened. Well I got it done, but I had another relic I could have opened but they just left because I was not going along with their "grand plan". If you had wanted to stay in the pipe it would have been fine for me, but leaving because I could have gone to other side of the map and not bother them with their tea party? Come on man. That's just pathetic excuse if you ask me. It's not like enemies will stop spawning for them if everyone is not there.

And if you want to have tea parties why not recruit people from chat? That's the whole reason recruit chat exists so that players are not forced to play with random people.

I don't like camping a single spot but I'm okay with running around a fairly close set of rooms over and over.

why play the game at all if its boring. why not just run lvl 1 missions with max frames all over and use volt all the time.

Current Surival:
1.) Spawn in the mission
2.) Sees a waypoint in the map and a teammate calling out at chat for a camping spot
3.) Reject the callout request > MOST INHUMAN INSOLENT ♥♥♥♥♥♥ EVER TO LIVE | Accept the callout request > NOICE~
4.) Goes to the camp spot~ sees your teammate spamming his/her orthos/secura lecta/atterax beside the door
5.) Q -> chooses Sit Gesture -> wait till he/she tired or yells at you for afk'ing

I hate camping on low levels(100 below) and people wandering around too far away from the group. On survival, I prefer to stick into one big room where life supports spawn and with several junctions of room connecting to it. I feel thrilled and happy jumping around killing enemies while all together not spreading the loot out of reach that much. If efficiency is what we are talking about? I usually don't care running things according to meta, I enjoy experimenting things on survival than in the Simulacrum. Well since most of the community are like what you have said, I suggest playing solo on survival. I hate how survival runs are conducted nowadays and even before, but that's how most people find it fun and fun itself is subjective so I won't grudge them for it.

You're playing the most pointlessly grindy looter shooter ever yet have the nerve to complain that camping is boring?

Of course. But you know camping is different from grinding right? Grinding is to play game for loot while camping is to play game by hardly moving at all. They have nothing in common! One is way of playing and one is simply a type of game!

Get nekros and try to desecrate when everyone runs left and right like rabbits and then talk again

OH MY, then the whole community aint like the OP?!
Guess RNGesus find it funny to match me with players like the OP, so I have to run the whole damn map, even for Reactant or Survival Relics... I think most of them think they get an increased reward out f those "oranges stats" at the end of the match...
Guess playing higher tier gives you a different way of looking at resources like the Life Support dropped by enemies and Energy Cells at Excavations...
Any time I guet into a mr5 or lower group I advice them how they work, 30% per pod and 4% per enemy drop... and 1% = 1sec... yet they run to activate every pod in sight while at 90% and overfeed excavators like 100% with 5 secs remaining..
Sometimes I think they trolling smurfs but even those should apreciate the affinity increase by staying colse to eachother and the loot...

Well, depending on circumstances, 'overfeeding' excavs might be a valid idea, as they also instantly regen shields - and now that Vazarin school was destroyed altered by the Focus 2.0 update, there are no means of healing them directly or through pizzas.

Also, Life Support Pods' activation gives you 50 health - which is laughable, I know, but still. Also also, every LS drop grants you five percent LS, not four, and it is depleted at a 1% per 1.5 seconds rate, not 1% per 1 sec.

I've always seen enemies LS add 4%, maybe the count down makes me perceive only that ant not 5%... and sry, the 1=1 was for the excavator... and I can tell you they have no need for any of the renegenation bonuses at Survival or Excavation cos my Equinox is CCing 95% of the enemies while the other 5% is getting filled with holes from the Vaykor Hek and procing health quite often, they only fall while trying to push the mobs to the corner of the map, away from the rest of the group...

Yeah, it's hard to spot the 5% of the drops, true. And yes, it is 1 per 1 for Excav, but it's 1 per 1.5 for Survival, and it makes quite a bit of difference. With health for players - yeah, probably, and with aexcavators - I haven't been in the same lobby with you and them, so I wouldn't know why they'd do that there, just saying that there are cases when 'wasting' a power cell makes sense. :P

@OP

just leave the group and look for an other group would be my advise

i can understand the advantages of staying in one place, even more if you having chars like nekros or hydroid in the party, but I wanna play the game and not sitting and waiting for loot.

And I also tried the other route, playing as trinity with friends who played hydroids. up to 10min their attacks kills everything. and in the meantime I did button smash the (2) and sometimes the (4) of trinity, and did other things on the phone because nothing to do, I didnt even need to look on the screen. Was it efficient in terms of loot? Sure it was. But I was mega bored at the end of this.

fun > efficience.
