Once in awhile DE gives 20% discounts on plat. That's as low as I've seen it go before for ps4 users.

Oh man, as cool as a pimped out dojo would be, I appreciate that all our labs are pretty much together in one spot.

One time, I did a thing.
We could put the two minor clan halls on the side with the reactors and deal with the temporary inconvenience of spawning there sometimes, place the Greater hall on the side with the labs, then destroy the two lessers so we'd have a Greater and the ability to build Greatest Halls. We could then mark the exit that leads to the labs using giant floating rocks or whatever.

Might work.

Considering how little thought and testing seem to have gone in to the rest of the placement of everything else in the dojo, I don't doubt it. We'd only be really inconvenienced for two days, plus whatever time it takes to accrue all the donations.

I'm not part of goonclan, but you guys do know that you can set where you want to spawn in the dojo right? Then everyone spawns there until you change it, it's been like that since some time in November/December.

I say we make the giant clan hall off the Autumn garden then and keep the small hall as is for simplicity. Then go hogwild on the other end.

I'm guessing that the option only shows up when you have multiple rooms available that you could potentially set as a spawn point.

Oh yeah, it might just be choosing which hall you spawn in, my ghost clan really liked the second biggest hall so wer just have it on top of an elevator that leads to all the lesser halls and reactors.

How difficult is to get one of the Orokin catalysts blueprint or reactor for that matter ? Cannot get more health and shields on my excalibur and it's running short in some missions.Also my laton sucks.

They show up pretty much only at random; on alerts, invasions, or login rewards.

Assuming this is on PC, you can generally pick one up a week during random invasions, or alerts, just leave Warfeed open in a tab and check it when it dings. Also, every two weeks there is a livestream, and they always do a 24 hour alert with an Orokin catalyst or reactor during that.

HI
PS4 clan dojo spawn is in the grandest hall (at the south end). The doors to the right lead to the labs, the doors to the left lead to tenno lab and duel room, the door straight ahead goes to the obstacle course. Everything behind spawn (south of spawn) is stuff you don't need to go to unless you're loving around, hence the bridge room.

It's not overly huge or labyrinthine by any means. Getting to any lab is literally a 5 second run.

Warfeed has become wholly unreliable. Better to check Deathsnacks. It may not have a ding but the majority of reactors I've seen in the last month or two have been available through invasions and it actually lists them, their rewards and the percentage of completion. That last bit in particular is key since they don't last long at all.

So I haven't checked on my computer, but on mobile at least deathsnacks is only PC right? Is there anything comparable for ps4 because I usually use the twitter feed which doesn't cover invasions at all which is pretty lovely.

It's gotten to the point now where I load up Deathsnacks and if there is no good rewards up for alert/invasion I don't even start up the game.

You should take a look here:

http://deathsnacks.com/wfps4/index.html

Looks like he has a couple twitter accounts set up for PS4 invasion status. His android app (WarDroid) currently only shows PC alerts/invasions. It's also a shitload better than the official android app.

There is a reliable way to do this. If you've already done the alert, you can still get taxied to it by someone who has not. In fact, one person might be able to do this many times for someone, as once one person has selected a mission, the other people can 'vote' by clicking on the mission name next to their name. They can then actually drop out of the session and send the other people on their merry way. We should actually test this sometime...

There's no reason not to continue up the mission tree as long as you're able to contribute. Buy the Braton for 50k from the store as soon as you can afford it, it's a straight-up improvement over the Mk-1 and you don't have to build it from a blueprint/components.

The regular Braton isn't bad and you can pick it up cheap. Use that until you can get money and mats for other guns.

Aside from that, get rich and powerful goons to take you on tower runs or invasions (towers are way better) to get you a bunch of money. Don't sweat dying and feeling like you are doing no damage.

Then get them to help you farm Jackal for rhino parts.

Then the game opens way up.

I do really wish there was some kind of grace time on invasions after they completed, like 10-20 minutes to get the rest of your 5 runs in, on things like catalyst invasions you can miss it if you find out about it even 10-15 minutes after it starts.

I've done a bit of testing but I don't get the reward every time. I have no idea what affects that. v:v:v

I'd be neat if we could use this to get a whole bunch of Blaze and Hammer Shot mods to sell, though.
