Spy Hunt nerf

I saw nothing in the patch notes, but the last mission in Spy Hunt is no longer timed.

Spy Hunters will understand the consequences of this, I won't go into it myself.

Wah wah wah. Find another arc to farm.

Serious question, where you do see any "wah" at all? There was info posted with no regard to opinion whatsoever, only facts.

Here is an opinion - you should show some degree of maturity on these boards, just a tad would be a marked improvement over your post above.

What's this? I'm shocked that there's gambling in this establishment.

Since its been fixed, whats the farm?

I only think it's funny that they dealt with a farm by removing a timer. That's definitely a switch.

If the last mission of a story arc is timed, you can log out without completing it, then return in a bit to pick up your merits. If you are playing in Ouroboros, you can do the same arc repeatedly. Story arc merits don't have diminishing returns.

Hmm. I wonder if they will remove the timer from the Banished Pantheon map in the Wheel of Destruction arc too.

Doesn't surprise me one bit. My main stalker earned over 1000 merits from that arc, by back-up one a good few hundred.

Waaait, so people were just failing the final mission and scoring the merits from it after it timed out?

I don't think it would have ever occurred to me to deliberately fail something for a reward. Huh.

Congratulations, you aren't a huge exploiter then. ^_^

I would start a CoV session by double boxing a Stalker with a Bane. That would cut down on the travel time, though combat time increased by having fight 2-boss spawns in 3 of the missions and one boss in the penultimate one. So it ended up a wash and still a 15-20 minute activity, for 32 merits.

Well, as suggested above, I'm off to find another.

I feel no sympathy.

Huh. That's no nerf, that's an exploit fix. No way the dev's intended THAT. And I though they added a code to cut merit rewards if you fail a mission in a story arch? *shrug* Intresting footnote there. Nice work in squash an exploit BEFORE it goes live this time.

total kick to the gut

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

First saw this idea in Speed runs of the LGTF. Not to mention Early Speed Katies.
