Ok so it looks like it might be possible to get to rank 8 with the controller. As they added an option where you dont have to hold jump whilst wallrunning. But you still need to tap jump when making contact with the wall after the initial jump, I wish i'd figured this out before loving up the mastery test again. :downs:

Also I feel like going back to use trinity again but my mod loadout looks like poo poo, whats best to slot? Duration and range? Power strength?

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've had good luck with the pluto survival missions, managed to get several T3 Exterminate keys. Only thing is I realy want T3 Capture so I can build the orthos prime ffs.

Man I finally managed to fluke the rank 8 test, half the time I ended up running ontop of the wall. I missed the final platform somehow and I think the lotus just got fedup and let me pass.

Is there any clantech stuff worth building at rank 8? Also the next test should be easy as I can just use ash and stealth the gently caress out of it I hope.

Ok it appears all of my guns have been replaced with peashooters, I just tried T3 Exterminate and spent more time running away from enemies than trying to kill them. My soma which was a crit machine managed to plink away at a mob from a distance whilst using up 3/4ths of its ammo.

What am I doing wrong? The soma has three maxed out crit mods, a high level serration, maxed out multishot, ap etc and felt good for enemies in the 100s pre patch.

Edit: also why do some enemies have yellow lifebars? whats the difference between those and the blue ones? Whats the difference between the puncture mods and armour piercing? Why the hell is everything so complicated now

AP doesn't exist anymore. So Piercing Hit is no longer worth slotting. Rainbow builds are the order of the day again.

So whats the point in having a mod that doesnt do anything? I mean I get the idea of putting the elemental mods together to cause effects, I put blast on my despair but it still seems pretty poo poo.

The only thing that seems to do good damage is my galatine.

This is what I did. You can do other stuff like ditch the health/shields mods for whatever else you like, or maybe ditch streamline for energy vampire or whatever. Narrow minded really does a number on energy vampire though. You can also jam fleeting expertise in there and go for 25 energy 14ish second duration blessings.



So is there no point in slotting focus on trinity? Just duration and power amount mods?

Having upgraded to the Orthos, that weapon is a godsend in infestation maps when I get a bunch of weak dudes running at me and I can kill them with a couple slashes.

Which is why i've been holding off using forma on mine because i've been trying to get bloody orthos prime for like a month now. I mean the galatine is great and all with every single charge mod possible and a range mod. But the orthos just felt more fun to use, 1000+ charge damage be damned.

Doesn't look like nearly enough. Accelerant better be something amazing.


Good to see an okay but relatively underpowered frame getting a use against mid-level Grineer, at least.

Isnt corrosive damage only effective against grineer? Wheras saryns current setup seems to be good for most things, seems like a downgrade. Also infested are strong against viral damage, so the 1 will be only good against corpus people and grineer.

Whoa. Wife Turds posted:

*zips up kb+m flamesuit* I enjoy playing this with a controller. Full stop.

...

That said, is there any reason why the game menus are only half functional with controllers? I assume it was properly implemented on PS4. Can't select planets, work with your inventory, etc with controller but can still move forward/back in menus.

One more question for PS4 users: does it map your controller differently to give you access to both sprint toggle AND roll? I love having roll available but holding down left stick to sprint in unacceptable.

I've been using a 360 controller since I started playing around update 7 and I dont think theyve fixed being able to sprint toggle and roll. At least wallrunning has become slightly less impossible now they added an option that you dont have to hold down sprint to start it.

Also i'd like to know if the PS4 has the same mastery tests, because a couple of them were pretty much impossible using the controller. The shooting range one I had to use a mouse because you just couldnt aim fast enough with the controller. I managed to fluke the wallrunning test by somehow landing ontop of the walls, but I still think its near impossible to aim and wallrun with a controller unless theyve seriously reworked the ps4 controls.

In all the hours of playing this game i've never seen anyone actualy shoot stuff whilst wallrunning anyway.

Its a bit easier now de added the option to wallrun without having to hold sprint, but I still hosed it up near the end but the game just decided to pass me. Probably best to watch a youtube of it to remember where the platforms are, or just skank it with a loki if you have one.

Energy vampire is 4 pulses no matter what, more duration means you get energy slower. Basically useless if you mod trinity correctly (infinite blessing).

Zephyr is definitely my new favorite frame even though her ult seems to stick everything to the ceiling sometimes. I'm glad someone mentioned equipping heavy impact as it actualy turns divebomb into a useful skill, its so fun on a big open map to fly above a bunch of enemies and crash down into them.

I'm abseloutely sick of using rhino though, although he was my second frame but I managed to get him as soon as he got nerfed to poo poo. I'd rather fly around the map like a mad rear end in a top hat making tornados everywhere!

Anyone try out the Akboltos? Generally for pistols I prefer the single variants instead of akimbo variants because of their increased accuracy and lower reload time, but looking at the wiki, the Akboltos have the same accuracy as their single counterpart. Is this right? If they are the same accuracy, then I guess there's no reason to not get the Ak version.

Twin gremlins are better purely because they arent semi auto!

Gremlins do 30 damage per shot and reload .6s faster than akbolto.

Akbolto does 44. And it has double the fire rate of the Gremlins.

A fully tricked out Akbolto will have almost 10,000 more DPS similarly modded Gremlins. Even my horrendous framerate issues don't keep akboltos from being a reasonable alternative to Gremlins. That's how amazingly good Akbolto is.

I play with a controller so I cant do things like bind mousewheel to fire! I used to get finger cramps using the akboltos. Although it doesnt help that the gremlins arent that easy to get either.

I dunno if its region specific but i've never realy had many problems with pubbies. Apart from getting lumped with people using starter gear on systems they shouldnt be able to access, most people seem to know what to do. Usualy the stalker gets his poo poo pushed in pretty quickly. The other three guys I think i've only had them spawn twice ever because I got bored with doing the same mission 5 times in a row for invasions.

Zephyr is basically Excalibur 2.0, in a good way. Her movement is fun and her ult is hilarious. I highly recommend her for anyone with the patience to grind Oxyium

Except she doesnt have an equivalent to slashdash, does her 1 even do any damage if you hit someone whilst moving? Apart from that turbulence is incredibly useful and tornado no longer sends items flying everywhere. Divebomb could realy do with a buff though, definitely my favorite frame at the moment just for the fun of flying around everywhere!

Wierdly though I rarely ever see other people using Zephyr, I guess that grind for 600 oxium was a bit too much.

Angstrum is rediculous, I dont think i've even modded it properly and it does something like 2500 corrosive and 3000 blast.
