Only bad thing about throwing them, is they have a chance at vanishing when they land by the thumper, but the counter not picking it up. I've failed many thumpers from people doing long distance throws and having them not be counted until too few were left to fix the thumper.

I've failed many thumpers from people doing long distance throws and having them not be counted until too few were left to fix the thumper. I've had this happen before, I caught that something funny was going on after the first three payloads weren't applying to the objective; Still had enough to finish it off at least. Edit: I've been holding off on playing the game for the past short while- Same goes for grinding frame XP or for Crystite to take advantage of the Redbean Bitcoins (With that hard cap you may as well buy, the price can only go up and there is no tax on it). Just got tired to trying to "Run to the next open door before Red5 closes it", a mini marathon in itself trying to find and keep up the most efficient things before they adjust it to keep everything a flat rate.

It seems stupid and makes no sense but it always seems to 'count' if I'm looking at the Thumper when it absorbs the thrown piece. I can't see why this would make any difference at all but it's my little superstition.

Wish I thought to check here earlier, did not think Goons would have a Firefall presence until I saw one in game the other day. Got a 40 Recon and was enjoying it until I found the majesty of the Arsenal. Explosive death AoE for errybody!

I joined in on some Thumper in BP last night, got some epic level 40 weapon that sold for more credits than I've ever had at once.

Yea just the other day I spent a few thousand credits to kit out my 40 engineer in all blues and got the power level up to like 920 before It dawned on me that all purples gets you like 990 or something...so you're going to spend hundreds of thousands on research points and CY, tens of thousands of credits, farm mats for days\weeks, all for like 50 or less additional power rating. I felt instantly deflated.

I have my recluse at 959 using mostly blues with a mix of purple abilities I landed in drops and purple modules from pilot tokens and the warfront instance. Just play with your 40 for a bit and you'll get the higher power rating without having to spend all the time for crafting or stockpiling credits. Hell, I got 2 purples and a lot of blues from just one warfront mission over the weekend.

What's the theoretical maximum power level, say with all purps and maxed mods in everything?

I'll probably be playing ArcheAge all weekend but if poo poo goes down and someone messages me I'd be down. I'm always hanging out in STO chat or just add me on steam with the same name as here or whatever. Morglon fucked around with this message at 20:54 on Sep 10, 2014 |

Using the turret too but it really doesn't matter much at all. I guess turret is better for Necronus and the like and fortify is better for doing solo S3 thumping but I usually just forget about HKM even on the frames where they're actually good for what I'm doing.

Ralith posted:Does purple gear with prefixes get the equivalent of the buff from the purple module with the same name? If so, that can still be worthwhile; some purple modules are a pretty big jump. Purple gear with a prefix will be the same as blue gear with the same prefix if I'm remembering correctly. The only thing that changes is the power rating but yes, prefix gear is loads better than non prefix gear.

I don't think 1000 is achievable (maths?), unless there are mods\items out there that exceed the normal power rating of purple level 40 items. Cant speak to the hc bwa, kana, or bc items tho, so maybe?

Not 1000. 985 is the current limit, fully epiced in all available slots. I know because I've scraped my way there on my Cat. So many credits. So much time. And yea - on a blue vs purp of similar prefix, say for a weapon, you're looking at a difference of a dozen or so DPS and 2 power rating when all is said and done.

Relatedly, is anyone else having trouble selling non-bound gear that they've put modules in? It pops up an empty error dialog every time I try. This has happened with stuff I've bought off the market, using only modules I've bought off the market, so I know it's not bound to me. e: typo Ralith fucked around with this message at 23:39 on Sep 10, 2014 |

Nalin posted:You are correct. Maximum power rating currently is 985, unless you have two Necro level 48 weapons. Then you gain an extra 4 PR for 989. That power rating sounds delicious, I was legitimately surprised that most of my frames hover between 500~800. Guess that is what happens when you're not specifically grinding for gear but everything else instead.

I've got a rare level 40 shotgun loaded with accuracy and ROF mods and that thing is pretty sick. I ran out of my Fusion Cannon ammo in a duel with a Recluse in BP and had to duel them with the Shotgun. Mostly I just slowly plinked their health down steadily, but then they got real close and I got real lucky. I'm guessing nearly all of the pellets landed in the head hitbox and they were instagibbed for like 50% of their health. Otherwise it's still useful for keeping damage up to sustain the Hunter perk. I hope they tweak the shotguns a bit though. Right now the damage falloff starts at like 1m, so you'll do more damage if you're inches away from the target. The hit detection on the spray seems pretty bad sometimes too and I'll get the hit beeps but do no damage. I'd also be nice if they added some sort of alt fire mode.

Unsure if it was a bug or not, but Fortify used to and may still actually increase your own damage output as well as your turrets. This isn't mentioned in the tool tips but it was drat noticeable if you were using the sticky launcher.

There are a lot of abilities that actually create deployables, things like long range mines and claymores, that are boosted by it... I never thought about the sticky launcher, but since its so similar to long range mines I wouldn't be surprised. Hell, now I'm curious if it works with the arsenal(?)'s +25% to explosive abilities perk.

Right now I am looking to kick things off around 12:00pm pst Saturday. Hopefully we will have enough goons around to run Warfront without pubbies, I will be able to run it until 6 or 7pm. If any other goons want to start things up earlier\later please feel free.
