Oh absolutely, and I mean either way I'll still play the poo poo out of it and melee seems way more fun now especially in certain tilesets/factions, gently caress the minmaxing. I'm gonna guess the Jag will get its specials put back in somehow as well because that spin was seriously too badass to get rid of.

Don't forget the resource that you have to grind up likely large amounts of within a day of the build or it disappears. We don't want you to have a job/life/wife or anything. This is getting worse than some korean MMOs.

Let's not say stuff that can't be taken back later. :v: I think their idea is that if you have a job, you shouldn't be grinding, but paying.

Basically DE has decided we don't have enough bullshit to grind for.

quote:

- Visit the Shipyards on Ceres. Here you must Defeat Councilor Vay Hek's Prosecutors. Beware, Tenno! They are unlike any enemy you have fought before. Each Prosecutor is vulnerable to a primary elemental type (fire, ice, toxin or electrical damage) and you must use this to your advantage. Note that Prosecutors are not susceptible to secondary combined elemental types. For greater success, team up with other Tenno and make use of multiple elemental types.
- Some of the Prosecutors carry Locator Beacons that will drop once you have defeated them. The beacons broadcast on four channels: Frequency Delta, Frequency Gamma, Frequency Kappa and Frequency Omega. Once you have collected the required number of each, use the Frequency Triangulator to craft a key that leads to Vay Hek.

Grind shipyards to get the one Prosecutor that shows up for the mission, then put that together to get a frequency triangulator that gets you a key to Vay Hek, who drops a Hydroid part.

And the keys are one-use right?

So much effort, and it's not like Hydroid is Nova-tier. Apparently its abilities are terribly disappointing except for the ulti. So good job DE.

Lies all of it. Hydroid is rad as hell. His first is a big spamable area damage thing that makes explosions everywhere, his second is a pretty good charge that puts a dot on everything, his puddle can look like a big piss puddle which is funny, and his ult is just murder field.

It's also just straight up better in every way stats wise so I don't even know why the normal, regular Nikana even exists other than to eat up more resources to get you to research it.

It was to fool people into buying it with plat when they were both called the same thing with the same icon.

It's a rad sword though quick draw is awesome and it does so much damage.

Probably an experiment on DE's part to see how many people who normally farm their frames up will buy it if it's sufficiently difficult to get, and exactly how hard they can make a frame to build without people just not bothering to buy or farm for it at all. Would seem like pretty critical information for their future plans and budgeting.

Be careful with this. Right now if you unequip something and the Harvester manages to kill you, you will be put in prison and be unable to leave. It's quite an oversight.

You have to farm them, and half of them are rares, so it might be days before you have one for your weapon of choice. Days if you are lucky. Also right now they cannot be equipped in the stance slot, and have to take up a weapon slot.

If they put a modpack on the market for all of the stance mods, and made it cost maybe $15 or so I'd buy it. poo poo, maybe just the stances for each weapon family for $5 per family. I'd buy a few that way since they would individually be below my impulse buy threshold.

Just finished farming some Oxium with some goons for Nikana research when, after almost failing the mission we extracted only to after watching the cutscene we were thrown back into the game in some sort of purgatory and unable to quit out.

Also, I think this video best sums up how I feel about the Dragon Nikana

I just had that happen to me, then I got kicked out of the game a few minutes after I got back in. Looks like server issues. I'd have cried if I managed to get a stance off of Ruk.

So, Hydroid acquisition process if I'm reading it right:

- have Prosecutor spawn in level (easiest way is to trip an alarm on Ceres VS Grineer, thanks Jetamo)
- kill Prosecutor, unguaranteed drop of 1 of 4 beacons
- repeat until have all 4 beacons (in required quantities - 2 delta, 4 gamma, 8 kappa, 12 omega), then craft Vay Hek key - 26 total beacons required per key (thanks Piell)
- run Vay Hek, get guaranteed Hydroid sub-BP drop
- repeat until all sub-BPs are acquired @ 26 beacon runs per key :psyboom:
- get main BP from store (50,000cr)

So like Nekros, but more tedious.

Also, what is the half-life resource used in? Anything currently available? Nikanas and Hydroid Chassis, got it.

e: VVV thanks!

You need multiples of certain beacons, 26 total beacons. That's a minimum of 26 runs, assuming you get perfect drops, unless you and your buddies are all running nekros.
