So no has any Orthos Prime Blades or Capture keys they want to get rid of? I have Barrel Diffusion, Blind Rage, Focus, Streamline, Stretch, Accelerated Blast, Rifle Ammo Mutation, Serration, Shred, Thunderbolt etc.

Also have quite a few T3 Mobile Defense, Defense and Survival keys.

edit: oh what, no bp or item part trading yet? lame. Still keen for T2-3 Capture keys though.

Guess I won't be logging in until they hotfix the hotfix.

e; so does damage 2.0 actually make the lovely weapons viable now?

Enemies seem super weak right now, so who knows. We'll have to wait for the patches to settle out a bit before we know what's what.

This patch turned my murderous space killer into an idiotic space tourist. I just stand there and snap pictures of everything, be it gun wielding space marine, resource container or computer intercace... completely oblivious to all the killing going on around me. And for some retarded reason I'm enjoying it. I guess the damage thingy is also nice, haven't had time testing it yet with all the pictures I have to take.

There is no problem that cannot be solved through sufficient application of lasers and friendship.
Right now my mod layouts are +damage, +multishot, +whatever of the three base damage types that weapon has highest, (optional mods to fix weapon short comings like fire rate or the crit mods for the crit seeking weapons), + however much fire and ice I can fit in for explosive which seems to do more damage than any other combination of effects.

Major releases tend to bring a lot of bugs with them, and this was a particularly massive and disruptive one. Things are gonna be a bit crazy for the next few days at least.

That said, lag hasn't been an issue for me (well, no more than usual), most of my gripes so far are about UI stuff.

I already have Ember, but I thought I'd take a look at Sargas Ruk to see how they changed him since I liked him in the last event. Yup, he's a real boss fight now, stomping around in huge armour and setting everything on fire. Kicked the poo poo out of me and blew my reviveless corpse over the railings with a giant flame explosion. I wish I had recorded that.

Buy it in the market, equip it in a gear slot, bind a key to that gear slot. There's no reward other than a badge (and battle pay, of course).

There's a short list of some of the more major changes in the OP (well, second post). I'd suggest checking that out first. I'll probably update it again in a few days or so when all the hullabaloo around Update 11 has had time to settle a bit, but it should be enough in its current state to give you an idea.

Dezztroy posted:

I don't think anyone here has been silly enough to rush a build/buy one outright yet, so we'll just have to wait and see. I seriously doubt it'll be amazing, but variety is nice I guess? The codex has it doing pure electric damage, which means Sundering Strike and Rending Strike (at least the puncture damage portion of it) are probably useless on it.

hooah posted:

1. Gear section of the arsenal. It's also a good idea to assign whatever slot you stuck it in to a hotkey.
2. I believe the reward will be the unlocking of the new gas planet Corpus tileset and Alad V (who drops Valkyr part blueprints) as a boss to go along with it.

Glad I decided to sleep on buying Valkyr with Platinum. Apparently Hysteria can completely break your melee, and she is completely immune to damage but not knockdown (which breaks melee if it happens during Hysteria) during it. Paralyze is only 5 energy, but also halves your shields on use.

Ripline is reportedly doing 1000+ damage a hit and can pull teammates, though!

1. Trading may expand later, I wouldn't rule it out as a possibility for later.

2. Buying a pack wouldn't guarantee you one either. Just keep running survival missions to 15 minutes (bring other goons if you can, more keys to go around that way).

I thought weapon parts were explicitly one of the things we'd be able to trade. On the other hand, I thought platinum was explicitly one of the thing we wouldn't be able to trade, so what do I know?

Just beg some tower runs in clan chat. I've got multiple T3 exterminate keys and no real reason to use them. Probably some other people are the same. It's just after a major patch and there's an event running, so there should be plenty of people playing.

Apparently, the forums brayed loud enough about how noobs should spend 50 hours grinding the same loving dungeon over and over for weapon parts, so mods/plat/keys are the only thing allowed to be traded.

"I can no longer sit back and allow nationalist shitposting, nationalist indoctrination, nationalist subversion, and the German nationalist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious game balance."
So does anyone know what the various enemy races are weak to yet? You'd think that information (and what elements combine into what) would be part of the Codex, but it doesn't seem to be.

Knowing how much slash, puncture and blunt damage I have is useless information if I don't know which is good against which enemy type.

Right?! It's like the Bioshock research camera all over again! :negative:
From what I've done so far, level doodads and special NPCs (rescuees and capture targets) can be ignored, they don't have codex entries. Yet.
Rollers can be tricky, but I got a bunch by letting them grind against the cryopod on Kiste for just long enough to get a photo before stomping on them.
Ospreys are very problematic, but you can take photos of friendly NPCs, so take advantage of this during the U11 Invasion event.
Starting to take the photo breaks Shade stealth, last I tried.
Bosses only need three photos.

Using the hotkey for whatever you put the scanner in will switch between the scanner and your last used weapon. Convenient.

Kokoro Wish posted:

I went after him to have a look and take photos, going Rhino, Mag Prime (sadly he was immune to ragdolling by the time I tried), Rhino, and primarily using a L30 0-Forma Brakk (Ignis didn't do jack poo poo).
What the Christ. Let me get this straight. He's invulnerable in general, like Kril. His weak spot is only exposed by shooting him (or his weapon? Not sure, was using Brakk) while he's using a power (the homing fireball or anything fancier, I never got any results while he's just doing the regular flamethrower). This flares up a location on his armor (first his left shoulder, then chest, then back), through which he can take damage. The location flareups seem to go by thirds on his health bar, and can go out if you don't hit them for long enough. And finally he falls on his face. Aside from the flamethrower, none of his attacks seem reliably provokable, he just brings them out depending on the stage of the fight, so it takes for loving ever.
Also, his flamethrower is... nothing special? The homing fireball does knockdown but doesn't track too well, his fire shockwave does a pile of damage and knockdown while being stupidly huge, and his ground eruption firestorm leads your movement and does knockdown but at least telegraphs itself alright. DE seems to have improved their leading system so if you run against a wall the next location is right at your feet instead of some distance ahead on the other side of the wall - I thought Corpus aim suddenly improved a while ago, this confirms it to me.
He looks cool and all but god drat it, DE, another one of these bosses? And where the gently caress is my Ember buff with Ruk-level powers?
I do like his casual stroll, though.
