The lower amount of damage in a mag is what concerns me, I enjoy being able to drop sentinels on master without reloading. Although I guess it's kind of a moot point once I get a better 12-slot proc. The season pass looks like a great buy, I'm just concerned about screwing myself in the long run with weapon hack.

Imagine how much more sad and lonely we would be if not for the hard work of lowtax. Here's $12.95 to his aid.

Consider it as getting a random chance in getting Energy Gun or Xenorifle rather than always being an SMG. Sentinels are just a case of backing a step away from beam-range and brrrrt'ing in peace for my boomerang-crit Xenorifle that has nothing but critcores in, just about capable of taking one out in Expert with it. The variety and choice it gives is absolutely great and refreshing, I'd hate to be stuck as a Tank without the hack now.

(Energy Gun and Tank go well together but bad luck with secondary drops is a thing, and the Tank fires out of two hands rather than a single straight line, shots will miss and hit buildings on longer ranges)

e: new league week, I entered gold league, competition is SICK. 1h40m and the top in my 10 is at 1 125 945 120, top staying in gold is 510 mill, I'm at 172 mill and I've played since the new league began. How hard will the competition be to enter Diamond league?!

I've been top of every league so far with 2.5bil or so, which can be done in one ark ship run and a bit of dicking around. It'll be interesting to see how the higher leagues play out, only one person getting the final tier will be pretty brutal I suspect. That said, once you have the ammo colour there's no incentive to stay in higher leagues as xp is worthless the second you hit 275.

Edit: I take it back, hitting platinum is where it seems to be getting serious, looks like a few hours a day to move up.

I've lurked here for years
Been getting back into this playing local co-op with my roommate and I wish you could either trade the guns you pick up, or the loot was per-player instead of free-for-all.

It also seems like you don't get any additional loot drops for there being a 2nd player in game.

Just seems the local co-op is really tacked on. Still fun though.

edit: For my local-coop dude I made a Saboteur and I hate him. They only have like 1 useful ability (the air strike). The melee one is dumb because it stops your weapon from shooting, and the stealth one is OK for running away I guess. I guess I'm spoiled by my bio specialist.

Awesome!

i am downloading a 1.6gb patch 1.05. any idea what it is?

New patch hit today, unless I am just behind. Major addition is Armors. New drop type, find armors of different colours with bonuses and trade offs like "Faster RUSH Cooldown/Slower Plasma Sword Cooldown" or "More Health Orbs Drop/Fewer Ability Orbs Drop" are a few I've seen. Looks like I've gotten one from most UFO runs and some other places including the new Weekly Mission. Each armor has 4 slots for paint and it looks like you can just apply your own paint... that you have bought from the PS Store.

Weekly Mission is kind of like Destiny Heroic Strikes, they add some modifiers to existing missions, kinda wish they went a little further, as an attempt to add some more longevity it doesn't quite do much.

Says it added a new Difficulty level, which I presume is Legend, I have not gotten around to playing on Master quite yet.

Few new trophies. Mostly I am waiting for the DLC with new Secondaries or Heavies.

I'm not feeling the two new weapons at all. The Devastator is a beam that passes through enemies but even the legendary lv30 one is useless next to my ammo-hungrier Powershot. A good bit more sustained damage than the Powershot but I cannot see any situation where it comes into use, unless I get a 12 slot and can make it better. The Heavy weapon fires balls of useless matter that I have not found any use for, though I am carrying a 12 slot minigun of over 1 million DPS. Colouring custom armour is fun and allowing fresher nicer looks, modifiers on armour is a cool thing that's super helpful.

Long since I last played the game but I still love it very much. This rocks.

(as with all the Alienation DLC, remember to download them from the store! If you have a season pass your freebies are marked Free)

e: and framedrops online in fat situations are way worse now, it's like adding extra weapons and trinkets puts far more pressure than it should on their code
e: New weapon related trophies means I'll definitely be using those for the challenge
