Piell posted:It's pubbies, they're terrible, but also because many of them are slow as gently caress so the player who goes first can easily take out most of the enemies before the rest of the players even see them. Based oy experience a lot of them don't play the tutorial that tells you the basic mechanics. Then they just get carried and you find yourself trying to do a defense on Sedna or something with somebody who still has the MK-1 Braton, Lato, and Skana.  E: once I was in a survival game with three. They all promptly burned their revives and kept yelling at me to extract even though I was fine because I don't suck at this game. They kept not shutting up so I disconnected

Elysiume posted:If you're willing to not contribute at all, something like ODD is great for leveling an entire loadout at a time. Someone with a Penta and/or Nova can all but solo ODD until level 25+, and most groups that I find stop around there. Since you aren't getting any kills, each item gets 25% experience. As far as ODDs go, a Vauban can in fact solo the entire thing basically forever. Just climb up on one of the four pillars and toss a Vortex down near by the cryopod and lob a Penta or something into the thing. Jump down between waves to collect things. Or have Carrier, I guess.

Not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but if you are using a Held-type trigger weapon (such as Synapse) and have a smooth mouse wheel (no ticks, just a loose wheel) you can bind wheel up/down as another fire key then flick the wheel and just blast everything to gently caress faster than holding it. Note that this will also blast your ammo reserve to gently caress but e: it is only fair to point out that it will blast your eardrums as well, the noise (at least with the Synapse) is just god-awful Shugojin fucked around with this message at 15:34 on Feb 1, 2014 |

I hate you, I have done so many Harvester attempts and have spawned him once and only by some weird miracle did we actually get anything, because I was lagging like a motherfucker and he rightfully should killed me at any point during the whole thing. The game cockteased the hell out of me on the Harvester attempts today by spawning the Stalker instead and then having him not drop any blueprints at all. I need Despair to complete my collection you jerk

My friend has managed to get hilarious amounts of use out of his Torid  Also the screenshot I posted where the guy got 11 kills and I had nearly 1100 was because he was actually a Loki who made all the clumps of Corrupted Heavy Gunners just try to hit us with sticks instead of shooting us. My hilariously inflated kill number was because Mag's Shield Polarize absolutely wrecks the Orokin Drones (Kill numbers can be very misleading is what I'm saying)

I was lucky enough to pull out 7 neural sensors from a 30 minute Elara run. Also a Charged Chamber, I guess. Then the "50+ wave ODD" turned into two people bailing at wave 20. Then the Stalker spawned on the other person and instantly killed them, but ate a death from my Penta before despawning and he dropped... Dread. However I got the Harvester today and it dropped both of the parts I needed for Detron so that's cooking. Now I just need to not get in a car wreck on the way to work tomorrow. gently caress YOU SNOW AND BEING ESSENTIAL PERSONNEL

Mercury_Storm posted:There's a LOT of items in this game that are just downright terrible in comparison. Like the Spectra, which requires clan research and then a forma to craft, and runs out of ammo in about 10 seconds, while doing garbage damage and requires you to point it at your enemy the entire time without wavering. I tried a ton of other weapons before I picked up a Penta, and jesus H the game is trivialized now. It has 540 loving grenades and can take out hordes of enemies in one shot. It's absolutely retarded that the penta uses rifle ammo. Like at least make it use sniper ammo or something. Currently the only thing resembling balance on it is how easy it makes one shotting yourself. Shugojin fucked around with this message at 13:15 on Feb 6, 2014 |

Also, all bows have some innate punch through so you don't need to add any just to easily kill Shield Lancers. e: Doji Sekushi posted:How to build Vauban: Also, Vauban's Bastille rewards area knowledge like a motherfucker. Once you get the hang of spotting the bottlenecks, you can shut down an entire mob of enemies with just one Bastille because the ones suspended in midair will physically block the ones behind.

I'm still not a fan of the new interface. It's growing on me (or I'm just adjusting to looking at new things) but jesus christ do they need to change the item level up notification. I love that it's visible and everything but does it have to be basically the same as the mission complete/mission failed notification? Freaks me out every time. Also I swear I get an additional 10-15 fps constantly since update 12 which is definitely nice.

AndroidHub posted:I'm really hoping the "generic abilities" will revitalize some of the less powerful/interesting frames when they are added. I do kind of understand why DE is seemingly so against completely overhauling frames' abilities, different people have different ideas of what abilities are good. If they listened completely to people who call frames like Loki, or Nekros "worthless" I would be a very unhappy camper. Though what it could allow is for some of the somewhat lesser abilities that only the elite few seem to enjoy to be turned into general use abilities, while the frames they came from could get new unique abilities, while still having the option to slot things like, for instance, super jump. And frankly as it stands, most frames have at least one ability that the majority of players consider not worth slotting, whether or not it truly is a worthless skill (like terrify or silence) is up for debate on most of them. A lot of people call frames worthless because they don't have "screen-wide kill everything" abilities. These people are morons. I have played this game for a hundred odd hours since update 11 and from what I can tell there is not a single actually worthless frame, they are all good and you can in fact use whatever frame you feel like and have fun with it. I mean Nekros is pretty underwhelming and his 4 gives a lot of dudes with bad pathing at the expense of quite possibly dying because casting it takes forever. Then again he is also the cheat codes for Survival missions sooooo e: My problems with his 4 basically just require some tweaks though so there's that.

The Grammar Aryan posted:So I've been running Corpus Survival missions a bunch because Oxium with my Defile All Day Nekros, and I just noticed that Defile works on enemies that have been blown up via MPrime. When did that happen? I thought the two were pretty much incompatible. Quite a while ago, as far as I know. MPrime (and Vortex) doesn't actually destroy the corpses for a few seconds window so if a Nekros is pretty quick he can Defile before this happens. This was fixed because otherwise other frames would gently caress up his abilities. Also go play Kappa, Sedna if you want Oxium
