can we calm down the firestorms on hellmire ffs?

[michaelthered]

They stay around waayayyyyyyy too long......i mean you just cleared a bug hole and ofc a firestorm immediatlly moves in, EVERY time...same with extraction. You have to run away and chill for like almost 3 minutes. If you're going to have these planetary events that go on for minutes on end.....lengthen the timers or just get rid of them all together. These events seemingly add "nothing" to the game exp except being adequate time wasters.

I like the firestorms just the way they are, sometimes you just can't get GOODER and simply being unlucky is your downfall, luckily it's just a game and you have many lives.

[Thorstorm]

Yup and the issue has always been that they FOLLOW the player and then suddenly stick around forever while the bugs don't die in 2 seconds with fire, we do.

I love the storms in this game but the fire tornadoes are simply too much and way too annoying the way they programmed it, it should be random and not spawn or follow the players.

I'll be fighting on Fori Prime.

Hellmire is HELL...to me it felt right, having all that fire going off. Used it to my advantage to burn the bugs, save some bullets. I disagree with your complaint, when you drop into HELL you should expect to get BURNED. I won't say git gud but I'm thinking it real hard. lol

Use them to your advantage. You can kite around them and drag the entire horde of bugs through the fire patches, or run them through a large bug nest so you don't have any fodder to deal with.

100% agree. every mission i play has at least 3 fire nado's spawn where my character is standing and every other mission has a non stop pool of fire around at least 1 objective. failed 2 operations in a row because the timer expired while we were waiting for the fire to clear out from the terminal

Play a solo mission and try to do an objective while the tornadoes are active. It's not luck, they literally have AI. The tornadoes "walk" the same paths as the bugs lol. Seems to be 1 goes for you while the others try and wall off your escape paths with fire. I'm not saying it should be changed, just that it's definitely like that

I just wasted, 30 mins on mission cause one dude decide to jump through tornado to ship xD. wow diff3, level 20-30 and we brought 0 samples xD

[michaelthered]

as people have mentioned, giving the tornadoes intelligence to follow you around the map seems......well......a bit F##kery?

[Imnuktam]

The worst part of them is their lack of being actually random.

They appear 'randomly' right on top of you. Spawn 'randomly' every single time you extract and then path 'randomly' as they track and follow you better than any bug swarm ever seen

Ahem, the mech, is resistant, to fire.

You should polish your reading comprehension skills.
He wrote nothing about difficulty. He wrote that:
- They appear at inopportune times (like extraction)
- They block areas making you wait
- They add nothing (well, debatable)
- They are time wasters (often true)

If a fire tornado engulfs a console - there is nothing you can do about it but wait.
If a fire tornado puts the extraction area on fire - there is nothing you can do about it but wait (unless you get lucky and the fire dissipates enough for a path to be visible).
Same thing with civillian escort missions.

The problem isn't the difficulty but the nuisance.
I would prefer if:
- The tornadoes were truly random and not following the player
- Instead of occupying an area they would move randomly in a general direction, like from east to west.
- Sometimes the could occupy an area BUT not a mission objective or extraction point.
- If the above were true then I wouldn't mind if there were more of them.

Yeah, they're BS in their current state. And this is supposedly a planet that SE has colonized? The barren moons with zero plant life and meteor storms would be easier to live on.

Just walk around it, jesus

I like the fire tornadoes, except when trying to extract. Not sure if my last few games were just unlucky but it seemed like back to back tornadoes happening around the extract point.
2 were on blitzes and it was just awful, no time to back off. They seemed to create no go zones all round the extract one even just wanted to basically sit infront of the ramp when the eagle arrived, and on one 2 players I'm guessing quit being fed up with it even though we were are extract

Not sure whether I'd like them to just add some cool down to them or make them move like said above. Or maybe they could just add some fire resistant gear like we have with arc gear, it'd be great for fire planets and flamer builds.
