I tried applying every single un-crossed one, and they are all used. The one I picked, and that broken one, were the only two that weren't used out of the un-crossed ones.

Well there is the Battleframe sale going on with 15% off on everything so if a frame is above 8.5 on the market just get the beans for credits instead and buy it for beans. Also if you don't have the Electron yet just be glad you didn't waste money on that pile of poo poo and buy yourself something nice instead.

Several other items are now also more expensive for credits, like VIP time and bikes so unless you absolutely want the white bike get the one from the store instead. It's nice and purple.

Endgame blue gear has pretty much crashed since the new area opened since you can buy those for vouchers now even though the ones that drop in the wild are slightly better because they have a prefix. Blue 40 gear will get you really far in the game too since the only difference between a blue and a purple of the same level is 2 power rating and crafting a blue is a third of the stuff you need for a purple and the price on the market is much much less.

I applied to goon2 since you scrubs in mumble kept gasping for breath when I said I wasn't in either. I'm probably going to be away for a move for a few days, but I look forward to coming back to low low prices on rhino, mammoth, bastion and tigerclaw so I can get them and my recluse/dragonfly up to butt touching goodness. Then I won't have a use for credits anymore, Yay!

I hope they don't patch out butt touching before I get back. :ohdear:

Hardly surprising after pubbies have been advertising this all over zone chat for the last few days. This is why we can't have nice things. I guess it's okay though since it wasn't exactly engaging for new people to do. Now someone find a thing for 21+.

Not quite Hooch fast but in DT there are several Strifebringer missions that are pretty damned fast. People will be advertising for Strifebringer groups in zone chat. They all go something like this:

Step 1: Group leader parks in base and pulls the mission.
Step 2: Group leader talks to NPC nearby to get explosives.
Step 3: Group goes to waypoint and blows up 5 strifebringers while killing 7 dudes and a boss.
Step 4: Group goes to waypoint and blows up 5 strifebringers while killing 7 dudes and a boss.
Step 5: Group leader talks to same NPC to hand in explosives.
loop

There are versions of this mission at every job board in DT I've seen except sometimes it's Ophanim boxes instead of Strifebringers. The added bonus is that these same job boards actually have desirable gear for your vouchers. Blue weapons, abilities, and HKMs depending on the board. Worst case scenario are green hybrid modules for all the drops you'll be getting from mission rewards.

Anyone on the PTS? Pubbies clamoring on the boards that new weapons are coming down the pipe that will make the ones we can craft now more or less extinct. Curious if anyone can confirm.

Also, anyone know if there are any loot drop changes coming down the pipe for BC\Kana\Warfront?

The new prefixes will do stuff like increase damage per round at the cost of reduced rate of fire, or change the damage type of the weapon, or enable bullets to bounce on walls or pierce enemies. If they give poison weapons, poo poo is going to change, as the poison perks are some of the best perks you can get.

They want to bring it back but there is no eta, and with owpvp being new and the major focus, I wouldn't expect much movement on that for a while. I think the arena thing was an e-sport type focus, and ff seems to have moved away from that into a more mmo style game.

Does anyone know how the tigerclaw perk that gives up to 40% bonus damage for repeatedly hitting the same target behaves when you're hitting multiple targets? I'm thinking about slotting it on my level 40 firecat with ridiculous AoE, but it'd be a waste if it only affects one target out of the ten or so I might nuke with each shot, or worse still doesn't apply to splash damage at all.

I was under the impression that its counter would reset if you hit a different target.

DarkDobe

Things are looking up...

I believe it only stacks up on one target, so multiples negate it.

However, an EXCELLENT alternative for firecats, especially in PVP, is the Mammoth level 40 skill - 15% regen on skill use, combined with a reusable skill like Afterburner, becomes quite insane.

So why would anyone play Mammoth over Rhino?

The Rhinos heavy laser has near perfect accuracy at even extreme ranges but the Mammoths guns barely hit at all once you get to more than 20 meters or so.

Both guns have exactly the same range (80m) :confused:

The Mammoth gun has some drop, sure, but it's also got a touch of splash damage. It's not at all hard to hit things at long range if you pay attention to the arc.

Mammoth equipped with a Barrier HMG, teleport shot, and their choice of other dread skills will DESTROY Rhinos in pvp.

The mammoth's survivability vs the Rhino laser HMG more or less evens out - but then you add in the fact that nailing someone with Teleport Shot does more damage than any other skill I am aware of. Something like 20 thousand? Mix that with thunderdome, repulsor, explosive rounds, heavy armor - to your taste - and then the crazy regenerating passive, and you have a frame that shits out almost as much damage as Rhino and can take about two times the overall abuse.

PVE sided, the Rhino will be better off fore pure numbers, but does suffer for lack of any abusable mobility skills (Teleport Shot, again, is fantastic)

Perhaps but the spread on the minigun is awful at most ranges and the damage drops severely.

It was PVE I had in mind. When using turret mode from an good position like a pillar or a hilltop the Rhino seems to deal out perfect damage even at ranges over a hundred meters. Wven if the target is smaller than the cross-hairs and moving.

The Mammoth guns on the other hand losses damage very quickly once the targets are further away.

I'm looking to put upgrades in my Assault's Overcharge module: What should I stick in here - I'm assuming stuff like "increase range" and "increase AOE" will do nothing for me?

What does it mean when computer man says "item tracking deactivated" when entering certain areas?

Force affects things like knock back and throwing velocity. While Potency affects things like Heavy Turret charge and other things that are percentage based like Power Field bonuses. Every once in a while you may find an exception to this logic, the whole thing is cookies vs biscuits, really.

Duration, recharge and fire rate bonus, in that order. Overcharge gets jammed up in that there just isn't that much to boost, so you may have a slot where you dump in some cheap purple for power level rating.

So what Frame is best for general event AOE damage?

I've been playing around with the Firecat but every single ability seems to be made for close range and regardless of what class you are. Close range is rarely a good idea unless you're fighting enemies that are the same level as you or below and then you should be out looking for tougher enemies anyway.

Recluse. Unless you can tell where poo poo spawns then it's Bastion. Honestly Recluse doesn't depend on terrain at all and will shine at offensive or more mobile combat while Bastion will rely on somewhat clever terrain usage and will absolutely dominate everything else at area denial. Unless you're stupid and take the loving Tesla rifle but then it's your own loving fault.
