What makes it hilarious is ... any healing ability you have (limited to Healing Wave in the Recluse's case) that hits and deals damage to an enemy also counts as a poison and starts the burst timer. Of note, regular fire and alt fire of Bio Needlers trigger the poison burst as well.

Does this also apply to Dragonfly abilities and Bio Rifles?

I don't have a Dragonfly high enough to test primary fire on, but there's a thread that confirms it to work on the alt-fire of bio rifles, same thread that the perk is recommended for Dragonflies also: http://forums.firefallthegame.com/community/threads/catalytic-poison.4423521/

Healing Ball and Healing Pillar count as poison damage when hitting enemies and does trigger it, Emergency Response might as well if it functions in the same way, but I haven't seen any confirmation of it.

Edit: That's pretty funny if it also works with Biodome as suggested

BEEP BEEP! Ger your engines ready pilots for this weeks Community Event! We will be thumpering by Shanty Town. However, we will not be using the traditional pew-pew-with-teh-bullets method. We will be using our LGVs, MGVs, Scan Hammers, Sonic Detonators...or heck, even your dang elbows! Any way you see fit to down mobs is a go as long as you don't use bullets.

I will be calling down an S3 tiki thumper. If anyone of you pilots wish to contribute a thumper as well, private message my forum account so we can organize teams :]

[Oceanic] The first time slot of the event will start at 5PM AEST (click to view in your time zone) and will last for around 1 hour. Whisper Mikachuu in-game to be brought into the same server.

[GMT] The second time slot of the event will start at 8PM GMT (click to view in your time zone) and will last for around 1 hour. Whisper Mikachuu in-game to be brought into the same server.

We will be meeting at the SIN tower in Shanty Town. Please utilize the event chat via the /com command to avoid spamming zone chat. Keep in mind that you will need to be on the same shard as I am in order to see the correct event chat. If you need to get on the shard, please pm Mikachuu for an invite.

On that note, you're lucky if a sonic detonator can do 58~115 damage, but even a lv1 frame can do over 1000 damage with melee. Wonder how the no-bullet rule would be enforced, pure bullet reflecting mobs?

Cycles barely do any damage to mobs at lvl 20-24 as well. Not that it matters, if you have sin-blade you'll be doing 90% of the damage for the event.

This guy sent his squad thumper off, and the thruster effects stayed. For quite a while too.

This one made me laugh, I was driving along back to Copa and suddenly these mission items fell out of the sky, getting all freaky with my car.

I just noticed that R5 significantly increased the brightness in the area surrounding Copa. I can only assume that this was in response to the critical reviews that have all mentioned that the game is way too dark at night.

The bummer is that it is still dark as poo poo in other areas. I guess they don't want newcomers to be driven off by how dark it is.

Would have to be the Deployment Multi Turret, still, up to 9 again is pretty darn nice.
Deployment Multi Turret • 4
Deployment Module [Red] [Rare+] • 2
Fast Deploy Module [Red] • 1
Ranged Deployment Module [Purple] • 1

I don't see how they're figuring that out though. My math caps out at 7. There are no Green/Orange types that affect Deployment, and if they did, it would only be +1. Must be some Necro Module, only ones I've come across so far were Rapid types.

"Immersion" players are louder than "I just want to play the game, dammit" players. But not actually more numerous.

Personally, I'd rather just have eternal day.

Yeah, night sucks. Dark nights are awesome in theory but the truth is that unless you have a really nice monitor with excellent reproduction of dark colors you end up with a painful, muddy mess.

How good is the Tigerclaw level 40 perk? I can't quite tell exactly how it's going to work based on the description. Can you only focus on one target? If you shoot as second target does the first target lose it's damage bonuses? Doing potentially +40% damage against heavy targets sounds great in theory, but most trash dies in 1-2 shots anyway.

I'M A LEAD FARMER, MOTHERFUCKER!

First time soloing the BWA as a level 28 (Caps you at Level 27) Accord Engineer, following a map (seen below) to grab all the crates. SLOW GOING. Pretty sure it took me a little more than an hour to do the crates alone, and probably 45 minutes for the boss...



(Anyone want to do a better map than this with the new color map? Or is there already one out there?)

... Then hitlersboner tells me that his nighthawk can crate run and kill all the objectives, boss in 17 minutes :smith:

Granted, I killed everything on my first time through. If I was more selective in my targets, I'd have a much faster time of it. That said, the Accord Engineer doesn't seem ideal for running it.

If all you're looking for is cash, don't even bother with the siphons. Loot all the boxes you can and then leave zone.

I agree that the engineer isn't ideal for a full run unless you have a good secondary like an assault rifle and your PR is through the roof.

Well yeah but the same is true for any class but with the others you will likely also get a primary that helps and some skills. Not saying it can't be done because I've done it I just wouldn't want to do it again. Same goes for any other class with no decent long range option though and that's before you factor in that soloing the boss will most likely be a colossal waste of time.

I can't stop luring enemies into cities or towns when given the chance, I'll try later seeing the restrictions a npc has on kiting before disengaging as I really think this has potential for getting some goons to kite as many npc's as possible and unleash them upon unsuspecting pubbies/towns/cities.

There are flares, avoid the rechargeable one at all costs. You need about a half a dozen to illuminate an area, and I actually like that night time really impedes visibility. I start scattering flares and it makes the world of difference.

As far as addons go, I would like to recommend Map Awareness. If you are grinding frames, this addon is a real time saver. After you set it up, it will automatically track any events you want, any distance from your location that you choose, and link the coordinates for them in your chat. Click the coordinates to easily set a waypoint to the event, and off you go!
