Logged in for the first time in a couple months and the game bombards me with 52 unlocked achievements. How different is this game now? What the hell is an invasion?

I just started building that lightning whip thing because hey, whips are neat. Did I just waste a bunch of resources?

Oh, that new frame, is she any good? I figure I might as well spend the rest of my 800 platinum on something.

Seems they found a way to 'buff' the Grataka by giving it a 10% base proc chance. Combined with its high fire rate it seems to be the best weapon in my inventory to dish out elemntal procs. Not sure if it's worth with the low base damage though... on the other hand, having a semi-reliable perma-stun ranged weapon might come in handy, especially since there are more than enough secondaries that can carry you through the game so losing a primary slot is not that much of a problem.

They gave the Jaw Sword a base 50% proc chance. Is that the highest in the game? Jaw Sword is still a piece of poo poo, but atleast it might be a fun to use piece of poo poo now.

Note about the Vastos: They're not too great against Grineer and Corpus anymore, due to low puncture damage. It does quite well against Infested though.

I don't have a regular Braton so don't know how it compares, but holy poo poo the Braton Vandal is amazing against Infested.

e: Just noticed the Braton Vandal also has 10% proc chance. No wonder my blast was proccing like crazy.

Glaive Prime is in Void Defense. I've gotten like 4 Blades so far and none of the Braton parts I actually want.

Also the poster above me is dumb. The Braton Vandal is a fine gun, especially now that it has a 10% proc chance.

Yeah, the new Braton Vandal is kickass. Goes through ammo quick, but kills poo poo fast in return.

I ran into a pubbie who bought the $140 Ember Prime pack. He had colored everything black and gold. Why do people do this.

Ember is still awesome, don't worry.

I've finally decided to finish levelling mine and this is pretty true. It hurts that it still has bad damage but at least you're guaranteed to get frequent procs.

The Braton Vandal and Braton Prime also have 10% proc chance without the pitiful damage, so the Grakata is still terrible.

VVV: Ogris, Flux Rifle, Embolist are a couple good ones.

Now that Mag is no longer terrible, you can use pretty much any frame you want and still do fine. Excalibur is kinda boring, yeah, so go with whatever you find interesting.

It's been ages since I made my account though, I assume they still let you pick between 3 frames when you start?

New Gram looks way better. Too bad it's still a pretty mediocre weapon.

I think banshee's the most fun of those 3 but the hardest to get. Running into huge groups of enemies with link up makes trinity as lot of fun as well. Ember is just rear end.

You, sir/madam, are crazy. Ember is still very good.

guaranteed Stalker spawn.

Are you sure about this part? When I ran it, I never saw the Stalker. Of course, he might have just instantly killed one of the pubbies and then run off.

As Darvo sends you there to lure out the Stalker who as been tailing him for the last few weeks, yes, there should be a guaranteed Stalker spawn. He will be around the level the enemies are, so he is easily killed, you might not have noticed that you killed him yourself while just hammering into a big pile of enemies.


Oh, maybe one of the pubbies killed him then and just didn't waypoint his drops. What happened to common courtesy? :(

I'm quite liking the Galatine with the new channeling system. Getting 100+ hit combos against infested means you're eventually just cutting down ancients in a single hit. This sword truly is anime. :allears:

I haven't played in a while, mostly because missing the time limited weapons makes me sad. Did I actually miss out on anything good? The Gorgon Wraith is just a straight upgrade from the Gorgon, isn't it?

I can't believe I spent an afternoon and a half getting the Miter. I just wanted a fun gun. :(

Miter has a gimmick where it gets innate punch-through when it's charged up. So do all the bows, except bows are good.

Get a bow.

Yeah, I've had the Paris since it came out. Never got a Thunderbolt (or whatever the explosion one is) though, so using it against infested is pointless.

RIP Goon rail.

I wonder if DE will make it worthwhile to contest rails.
