Switch hotfix #3 is out. PoE is at least functional. Still has some issues, but it's playable and missions are possible to complete. Turning off volumetric lighting gives the performance a nice kick in the rear end, and the controls are smoother and the deadzone thing is fixed. Crashes for Excal and Titania are gone.

This is a welcome improvement.

Yeeeeee Excitement! Booting up now.

Hey what's the best way to defeat 3 Eximus on Earth?

The defense mission iirc, just stick around till round 15 or so, though it’s best policy to stay till 20.

Defense missions are probably the ones I hate the most of what I've done. They're just so tedious and unfun

They're more fun at high levels, provided someone (probably you) brought along a good area-denial frame. Low-level defences where you're just sitting around while a bunch of tweaked-out monsters annihilate everything before you even see it are a bit dull, though, yeah.

This is also why I dislike teaming with Slowvas. I don't care if your way is safer, just let the enemies go fast, clump up, and run into my warcrime range.

Either you bring the wipe the map frame and have fun wiping everything out, or you have someone else filling that role and you play guitar / read a book or something while getting free stuff. Defense: The best mission type. Except for Survival.

I feel like I am hitting my stride in the game. I am leveling Ember and I have 3 additional frame ready to go in the docket.

The one thing I need more than anything else seems to be additional frame spots. Is the stater pack a good deal or should I just buy $20 in plat?

It's a good deal. The extras you get are good, Streamline is an astronomically helpful mod, and may I remind you that it gives you a cape made of fire.

A slot for each frame dude, dumping frames only if replaced by a prime variant. Color palettes agogo, Octavia instruments if you like her shtick, MOA behaviors, premium skins, forma three packs, taters, so much to burn plat on!

Best part is, none of it is 100% needed. Which I really appreciate in a free to play game. Which actually is another reason why I want to throw money at them.

Will do, I have Limbo and the Innarious quest good to go, so I will probably buy two slots for them.

On a side note, is the Innarious quest hard to do? I am mastery 7.

Main advise for the Inaros quest is: use it as an opportunity to scan a bunch of cats, since there are loads in the final stage. it will save you having to hunt them out later on the Derelict when you're wanting to breed your own / build Khora (iirc, it's been a while)

Does anyone else find the echo lure really hard to use with a controller? Maybe it's because I play with inverted Y axis, and that doesn't really work well with the lure. Or maybe I'm just retarded at it, but it takes me forever to fluke a match.

it's definitely very forgiving, which is how I eventually manage to pull it off, even though I always, always adjust.it in the wrong direction. Probably just me being a berk.

Real talk /Newb Talk: can someone tell me why Excalibur is recommended as a starter frame?

It’s possible I’m just a dummy, but the “powers” feel underwhelming.

One is a slash that never really looks like it connects and I guess it kills stuff? Is it AoE? Because I feel like I can just slash the melee button a couple times and dispatch.

One is a blind AoE and I suppose it’s handy but feels like it blinds me a bit too? Lots of particles. Is it just like a stun?

One is an attack that pushes everything outward? Is that right?

And one I don’t have unlocked yet.

Not trying to be a sourpuss, just curious. :)

yeah its kinda that last one that everyone uses and makes you a goddamn insane wallhack murderer

like when you unlock that (and have some decent upgraded mods) it all kinda makes sense

I didn't like him at all when I was MR1, now Excal Umbra is like one of my most fav frames

Slash Dash has a bigger AOE effect than your standard melee, and can be used outside of combat to extend your jumps or pass through Corpus laser barriers unharmed. Radial Blind temporarily makes enemies vulnerable to melee finishers, letting you deal massive damage to them. Radial Javelin is your 'no, gently caress you' button against tightly-packed enemies.

It turns Galatine and it's primed version into a thing of beauty. You absolutely need this in your life.

Fanged Fusilade is a nice one if you have the spare cash - slash is meta good right now and a lot of guns are in the rifle class, including bows like Dread.

Angstrum is a funny secondary missile launcher, but it's no kulstar. Buy the cosmetics if you need to. Prisma Grakata looks good for a hybrid build.

That's probably $34.99 for 1000p after 30% off.
