So what exactly does mastering a weapon do? I know it involves getting a weapon to 30, but what does THAT do? Someone in the thread earlier mentioned using a Mk1 Braton again, and I cannot imagine why.

I hope someday they make akspectra so that I can dual wield badguns. I potatoed my spectra in the vain hope that it would make it not a piece of poo poo (spoilers: it didn't), but I'd sacrifice that potato for dual lasers that would still be terrible.

If you're going to sell your zorens, then if you ever want the mastery for getting them to 30 again, you would have to rebuy them and level them up again, so yes. However the dual zorens are awesome and basically all I use anymore because of the flight feature (it's not a bug!!) so I think you should definitely keep them.

Someone in the thread earlier mentioned using a Mk1 Braton again, and I cannot imagine why. Frames work similarly, but give 200 mastery points per rank. Mastery points contribute to your mastery rank, which is a global account rank of sorts that determines how many extractors you can have deployed at a time and what weapons you can craft/purchase (many weapons require a certain mastery rank, with the Embolist currently being the highest at 8). As a result, people sometimes build weapons they don't necessarily care about in order to get them to rank 30 for the mastery, then sell them off.

I think that poster was more making a joke about adding a ton of forma's to an Excalibur and Mk1 Braton and then getting 99% of the kills/damage and make the people with their shiney Necros & Zephyr frames feel "WTF, how did that noob do that?". There is no other reason to use the Mk1 Braton.

From what I understand, if you throw enough time / money / effort into any gun it can be a powerhouse. Doesn't mean that it will be worth it.

Hey did they nerf the rewards for invasions and infestations? Looks like a ton less dosh for doing them now. 10k for infestations when they used to be 20-30k and 25-30k for invasions when they used to be 50k. Doing the same mission 3-5 times to get paltry rewards doesn't really seem worth it right now.

Yeah those invasion missions get boring REALLY fast when you're required to do the same map 3-5 times in a row. I'd put up with it because the rewards were decent, but for less than half? Yeah gently caress that. It got to the point where there were some invasions for a free catalyst or reactor, and I'd just think about doing that map where you run through the energy tube to the outside of the ship for the 115th time and just turned off the game.

Considering you can get 25k for a T3 Cap mission... which translates into 100k per 4 missions if you can get a T3 Cap train going... yeah, invasions aren't worth it, really.

I never checked - does anyone know if the double credit IAP applies to invasion rewards? Same for the double resource IAP, although it seems kind of dumb if the double amount one applied but the double drop rate one didn't. Actually, would the double drop rate one be for the whole team even if only one person bought it? I don't know if they even have the code for hiding drops from some players but not others. I can't wait until DE breaks them somehow and makes them team-wide buffs that stack per player.

The resource drop rate booster might apply team-wide, though, I'm not sure.

Helter Skelter posted:The credit booster only applies to in-mission cash drops (so not invasion rewards or even the end of mission reward), and it only applies to you, so it's crap. I'm sure the double resource quantity one works the same way (in-mission pickups only). If resource drop booster works like I think it does, most likely it's a buff that's applied on you, and whenever you personally kill things, more crap pops out. I can't confirm if this is true or not though, as RNG can suck my dick. I can confirm, however, that resource amount booster only boosts the amount you, personally pick up.

Yeah, they used to not apply to end mission rewards and were incredibly terrible (even the terrible plat->credit direct thing was better) but they changed it in the last month or two to apply to end mission rewards as well.

After loving failing the rank 11 test 3 loving times in 3 loving days, I finally make it to the last loving platform with 3 loving seconds left and watch these last 3 loving seconds count down ever so slowly and I get MISSION FAILED while standing on the aforementioned last loving platform. Sometimes I just want to punch this game in its face.

Gonna miss my 7/10 Steel Charge, but hey, free maxed 10-rank mods! And, as an added bonus, dumping this into Serration should have no downside since they'll have set a precedent for compensation if they ever similarly downsize or eliminate Serration/Hornet Strike (please just make base dmg scaling innate already, DE).

It hasn't changed yet, if you fuse it to 6+ right now you might still be able to get the Legendary cores.

What a load of poo poo. They knew drat well what they were doing and how powerful it would be points wise. Its basic loving math. You all know drat well those cards are going to be plat only after the freebies and the freebie is just a taste. There's also going to be a poo poo ton of maxed Serrations and what not at the click of a button. And as usual, PS4 users are hosed on the whole thing.

After their weapon and mod balance it shouldn't be very surprising they are bad at working out the math!

I just turbo-fused my Steel Charge to rank 6, I hope it still counts. If it does I'm not sure whether it will be better to use the cores or trade them if you can.
