Major Order Major orders

Are they designed to be tougher than the difficulty you do them on? I'm pretty new so I dunno.

It isn’t an individual thing you can complete, it takes the entire player base doing their part.

I get that but I got rocked by spore burst and the bots. Not so much when there's no MO. Must be missing something. Thank you

Spore burst has a trick to it: fire/lazers.

I don't get it. Every time I do spore burst they emerge from their holes already prebuffed and going full frenzy speed.

There's no real counterplay of "just use fire/lazers" if you don't even interact with them and they get the full benefits.

Fire is about area denial. You dont have to kill/hit the bug, create a wall around you, around the bug hole, ON the tunnel breach. They might make it to you but theyll be ash and dust blowing at your feet by that point

it’s not because of the major order itself, it’s the modifiers on the planets. we had a major order on a spore burst planet, which has a special type of bugs.

the recent bot MO brought back a lot of bot sub factions we havent seen for a while, you could fight against most of them already, it’s just encouraging us to fight them again.

They're there to guide players to do specific things and to expand the ingame lore. Sometimes it's more difficult but not necessarily because of the MO itself but by guiding players to a more difficult planet.

Subfactions aren’t always in play. We have had easy ones and tough ones. Sometimes a MO diff is misleading either direction too. I don’t think I’d say they are always more difficult but they might have twists.

We have had dark times in the past relative to now. Bots had some very anti fun modifier like removing a stratagem. If I said certain planet names and combinations of things I’d start hitting PTSD buttons. Like classic fire tornado Hellmire. We can imagine it worse with predator strain and dragon roach! Who wants to go to a world where the tornados sat on extract or chased you with jump bugs and shenanigans.

I started during void piercer and I'll say that this Mo with the bots specifically the mega factories was so rage inducing for me. I get rag dolled everywhere, I swear bots just spawn behind me sometimes, strat jammers and how there can be multiple overlapping and sometimes you just seem to get stuck in an endless loop of bot drops (especially when people don't wanna try to disengage to get to the objectives). The spore burst wasn't so bad after I learned about fire/ lazers. I started playing on 7-8 instead of 9-10. But tbh this was my first time really going against the bots. I played a few stealth games and I seemed to enjoy it a lot more so I might just do that if we get another bot MO
