As bad as the PVP is it might actually be vaguely playable if the lag wasn't so bad and you could tell the loving difference between real players and creeps.

I dunno, I got one round of that Dark Sector payola battle in, and that was pretty fun.

Admittedly, I spent a bunch of it actually using cover and pegging people with a Lex from a rank back as we advanced, and pulling out a tricked-out Hek when we had them cornered. Lots of people on both sides were just running into a scrum.

FINALLY had a successful go at the G3 without the game crashing or pubbies aborting. They came for me when I was alone running an invasion. At the time I only had my Dragon Nikana so I took them in honorable combat with my space hanzo steel... They each died in one hit. All I got of worth was a Brakk barrel.

*Edit any word on if/when a Carrier Prime will come? Wyrm Prime is nice and all but its got a couple strikes against it. Namely it doesn't have Vacuum or properly utilize Sweeper.

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I couldn't get an answer through google or on the wiki: How do you unlock new planets?

I'm trying to craft something, but I need a rare mat from Mars, and I have no idea how to get there.

vvvv Thanks! I'll see if I can get it now.

When you beat the boss of a planet you get a Nav Unit that unlocks the next planet.

One time, I did a thing.
On PVP: I can't imagine it feels very fair when Saryn applies Venom to you from across the map and you're taking hundreds of Viral damage and there's growths on you and ugh. Or when you get close enough to melee her and suddenly you're taking hundreds of Toxic damage directly to your hp from Molt spam.

The lack of dedicated servers hurts PVP almost as much as the complete frame/weapon/etc imbalance.

Also stalker came and murdered me today is there an easy way to farm him? He drops some good throwing knives I'd like to get.

You kill a boss, you get a mail from the stalker. Team up with other goons that also got that mail (a death mark) to maximize the chances of him showing up and keep running missions until he does.

I'm not sure if the death mark gets removed from all party members, or just the one that was being targeted.

Like the G3 and Harvester, farming him is a real time sink.

I think something bumped up Stalkers' spawn chance, he's shown up for me three times in the last three days. Or maybe I'm just supremely unlucky :saddowns:

Note, unlike G3 and Harvester, you can get multiple Stalker marks. The game tracks separate marks for separate boss kills.

We have a small alliance with some other weirdo goons who don't want to be in the main clan.

Need a disarm Loki, they aren't very scary when they can't any-shot you :v: or just Valkyr invuln the whole thing (easiest option I think).

Rhino can plow some Nightmare missions, Valkyr can do just about any except maybe energy drain?

Tried to PVP a few times. The first time I couldn't connect to a match, and my menu froze, so I restarted and did something else, but instead of doing that mission I ended up in an empty PVP map. The Stalker showed up in this empty map and I got destroyed.



Second time I joined a match which was remarkably unexciting, with me destroying one guy on the enemy team over and over until I lost connection to host. Third time the game was so lagged that I was stuck in my default colors and no one was moving at all, and I noticed the objective stuff in the top right was French or something for some reason.

Good stuff so far, I'm excited for the day I figure out what the hell this PVP thing actually is??

It's poo poo is what it is. I just had a really good match in which after ahost migration we stalled the enemy team for 20 minutes. This is impressive because the enemy team had a literally immortal unkillable Mirage, a Rhino with a Penta, and others all levelling as normal but none of our equipment was above lv0. No powers no nothing.

The amount of work they need to do on PVP is probably insurmountable without dedicating the entire company to it.

I've said it before, I will say it again: gently caress PVP forever. If the game isn't specifically built with PVP in mind, it is a bad idea to tack it on later- for the exact reasons we're seeing.

Also I think there's something up with the RNG that dictates what kind of Kubrow you get, or I just have phenomenally lovely luck :( I've blown a whole load of plat and I have six Shield-dogs and two Stealth-dogs to show for it. I just want one of each, dammit.

Barring some exceptions like event mods, 10 plat is usually the upper limit as far as mods go for on PC too.

Yeah but until a couple days ago poo poo like Rhino Prime Helmets were still going for 30+. Wonder what caused the shift.

You see,
God doesn't help little frogs.

He helps people like me.
Was playing Defense on Saturn to test out some mod loadouts and get some easy Orokin cells, ended up pubbing with a couple of low-level folk. Was doing the usual thing of covering the doors and then slide-spinning for maximum fast to each of the other spawn doors to kill them, and the others were confused with how fast I was going and how quickly I was killing duders.

During downtime, we'd chat it up, mostly them asking what I was using. We just kinda chatted about cool weapons and mods they can look forward to acquiring. Also gave some advice to a dude who was Rank 2, the usual "get rid of that MK1-Braton once you're done leveling it and get the regular one" and where to get Nova, the 'frame I was using for that map. It was cool to see pubbies actually excited to see cool poo poo rather than groan about having all their kills stolen. :3:
