The first few lines in the launcher specifically state:

"Removed the Delta Beacon from drop tables found on Prosecutors outside of defense missions."

All that tells me is you can't get Deltas outside of defense missions, it does not suggest that you can't get anything else in Defense missions.

I mean, it's fine that it works that way, it's just not immediately obvious by any means :v:

Well V still owns sechura but it was odd both sides offered no battle pay till the last 30min of the "conflict". And then both offered exactly 400k pay. But I pissed some people off real good and made 1.2 mil in 30min so I guess I shouldn't bitch to much. But it really felt like a setup with either side offering battle pay until there was no chance for V to lose.

Small PVP note the kestrel and glave will one shot most players when thrown. If they don't it only takes 2 shots. Kestrel was more consistent in 1 shot kills due to the physics engine. You can imagine their surprise when the hysteria valkyr gets ragdolled and killed in one boomerang. Rhyno's iron skin... Nope 1 shot right through it. Only thing that was hard to kill was a smart Loki doing the swap thing.

Seriously...

I got this game a long time ago and sort of dropped it. I've jumped back in recently and it's a lot more fun than I remember.

It's a bit confusing, but the OP and wiki are helping. I have no idea what I'm doing a lot of the time, so I usually just follow whoever I'm playing with around until the mission's over and cash in on the rewards. Still, it's fun to shoot things. I applied for the clan as well.

Got my first puppy last night. For a cash sink designed to make people spend make-believe spaceninjabucks so the temptation to use real money is higher, it's adorable :3:

I maxed all the MK1 weapons in my mad dash to M17. You are sane by comparison.

In all, I'm quite surprised at how painless it was. Using a caster frame and doing mainly defence missions in Phoe helped, I guess, even if I spent most of my time on my rear end (I was using a level 16 Ember without any extra shields or vitality because I needed MORE FIRE EVERYWHERE).

Getting the last Corrupted mod from a kind goon finally completed my mod collection, I'm not missing a single mod now. (except event exclusives and transmute fuckups from DE)

All frames at 30, all possible weapons at 30, all Kubrow breeds at 30 and all sentinels at 30. I think I might be ready for a break.

We still love you in battlefield. Just not sure how bad your ping is to east coast servers. Plus Ularg and I have been doing late night bf3 rush and tdm sessions. Bouncing between these three games is keeping me sane until the push the CTW patch. For the late night stuff our ping may not even matter and we can probably play on euro server's.

Also props to that mk1 strum. I tool a regular strun to 30 and couldn't wait to sell that pos.

Content. I have a love hate relationship with miter. What makes the charge time lower? And why does it randomly crit for 4-5k damage once in a blue moon?

Someone was talking about pistols the other day aklex is amazing, I have 1 shoted bosses with the crits it puts out. And it is cheap to make. Or akboltos easy to make and stupid high damage.

For charge time, if it works like a bow, rate of fire mods speed up charge time. For the weird damage, that's probably headshots; the damage boost from hitting vulnerable locations is separate from the critical hit system.

You can crit without hitting a vulnerable spot, and vice versa, but if you do both that's when you see crazy numbers with weapons that have no business producing then.

Yeah, it's whoever made the group, but occasionally the game will decide to migrate to someone else in the group because reasons (theoretically it's because the game thinks whoever it's migrating to will be a better host, but that's rarely the actual case and instead it just feels random and frustrating whenever it happens).

Edit:

Coldbird posted:

To clarify this further, headshots are double whatever your normal damage is. Crits are normal damage * crit multiplier. Headshot crits are quadruple your normal crit damage. So if your Latron Prime (for example) hits for 1000 damage normally (2000 on a headshot) and you have a 7x crit multiplier, crits on a normal body shot would do 7000 damage while crits on a headshot would do 21000.

This is a large part of why high crit chance weapons are so absurdly good.

Nice, I will have to look over what I got and maybe post an updated screenshot, I would trade to help whoever out as well. I checked an old shot but I only had the barrel of the Lex Prime which means without checking I'm guessing it's the easiest.

I probably should be selling parts but nobody wants anything but the hardest poo poo and then they want to pay like 5 plat or go silent when I suggest something more reasonable to start. I may just try and sell off that Bite while it's still in demand.

Go looking for dog eggs, you'll get more neurodes :v:
You could try Earth or Eris dark sectors, or the Orokin Derelict.
Basically see if you can get a Nekros buddy to wave their hand really fast in any neurode location with a LOT of dudes to kill.

You CAN try using extractors, but seeing as to how Neurodes are rare mats, you might get them on your first claim, or you might get them in three months.

the fact is that they're an incredibly rare drop and sometimes you won't get one for hours and sometimes you'll get 3 in one go. it's all luck of the draw and farming them is the least fun thing ever.

It's pretty much guaranteed with the way they've set it up. Lots of trailer footage of the new ice planet, the entirety of Operation Avalanche (of course they'd need Arctic Eximus(Eximii?) for defence of an ice planet) aaaaand well, as others have said, it's going to be Oxium 2.0 and be bloody stupid.

Is there some reason ODA is better for neurode farming than ODD? ODE I assume would also be a good option especially sense corrupted mods are always in demand.

The Wiki states that Lephantis will (sometimes) drop 1-3 Neurodes. Other than that, the only locations are Eris and Earth, which I've spent a handful of hours farming with no luck. ODE and ODD shouldn't(?) drop Neurodes, but if they do then that would be nice because ODA groups don't seem super common.

v v v the Wiki doesn't say it is, but I still don't really have much filled out, and don't even know where you would go to see the Derelict.

They are. But the most common source is lephantis drops. In about 30 runs I have seen one drop that did not come from lephantis.

I am becoming kind of disillusioned with the "top" tier weapons. 90% of them I get told you have to potato it for it to really get going.(I am looking at you soma) But really almost any gun you put a potato in is going to end up being good. So what are the guns that will make me say "drat" before I put a poo poo ton of work into them. Because "this gun is great you just need to potato it and forma it 4 times" gives me to opposite of OMG must use this.

Goons tell me your favorite fun guns. The poo poo that puts a smile on your face and makes you say gently caress yeah.
