Inimicul posted:I don't expect anything serious on this patch until late summer since R5 time is calculated different than the rest of the universe. Yeah, probably. Late February, early March is my guess for when the first public playtests go on the PTS. The game has always been one where you pump dozens of rounds into a group of enemies that don't really react to being hit. Actually, a long time ago, it was mainly about never-ending hoards of trash mobs. I remember complaining about it a long time ago that the game needs fewer, more difficult enemies, as back then the entire AI server would take a poo poo if a couple people were doing squad 3 thumpers. These changes are all about finally introducing skill and precision to the fights, and I am fine with that. If you noticed, enemies were flinching and reacting to being shot at. I think overall these will be good changes, but it will take a while to fully implement. So yeah, probably a summer expansion type of thing.

I just watched the video and am sad that the burst rifle accuracy still sucks far far worse than the standard AR. Booo.

FadedPez does a mission with each of the 5 basic Accord frames. But keep in mind that this is still a ways off. I highly doubt they will keep the out-of-combat instant cooldown refresh. Unlimited afterburner when out of combat is just too crazy.

Aimbot/headshot with R35 + Off Sin perk + Full health perk + headshot perk, tagged on with the ramped up 'no longer in battle' timer. Probably going to be having a lot of ducking sniper potshots. But really I support the direction they're currently heading in, I just hope they don't lose face and run back to a 'safe zone' again like when they dumbed everything down for release.

So, glider challenge activated early, and I'm not sure they actually played their own maps, considering some of the "boost" rings to go through don't give you enough height/speed to actually get the next ring in line. You have to skip it or bug it out/abuse the fact you can go through old boost rings over again to get enough momentum to get 100% on this devil's tusk medium one. Not to mention having some of the targets you have to shoot move around the glider ring, and whether or not that target is completely obscured (unhittable) by a world object that the rings overlap is up to chance. Also, tokens cost both credits and crystite. It's 100 credits per one token (worth one attempt). I couldn't see the price of crystite when I bought the tokens since the text doesn't fit the vendor box. lewtt fucked around with this message at 21:59 on Jan 13, 2015 |

I'll test it out and write some opinions on it when I get home from work tonight.

Finished them all and got "Sky Conqueror" as a title. The Copacabana and Sertao ones were a lot more fun, especially when I realized that short of some likely hidden achievement, shooting the targets really wasn't worth it some of the harder ones. You get one voucher for hitting a target, but nothing else, and the cheapest item is 700 vouchers. There's also only three different items, although theres 6 different types of the aerial core. I got the birdy :3

A hologram pet, eh? Even our imaginary digital pets are just imaginary digital pets. Is the jet sprint noticeable in that core? The last time I did testing with air sprint cores, they didn't make a difference at all.

These hard glider challenges are really annoying.. is it just me or are the boosts inconsistent? Green is supposed to go up and purple where you are aiming, but it doesn't seem like that is always the case.

Been playing around with the Amazon Warzone. Convoy missions are a little buggy right now and can break. Also, look at this:    Single stat mods = 100% each stat, dual-stat mods = 70%, tri-stat mods 50%. They also have all of the deployment hybrids added, so you can finally get +4 deployment on a multi-turret.

So uh, weirdest thing happened just now. I was running down the road near Crossroad Stations in Devil's Tusk and I get a HUD pop up to pick up an item, but nothing was visible. Just the regular circle to pick up an item over flat dirt. I picked it up anyway, and got an objective on my back, except with a weird swirly symbol, and a notification that I picked up "The One of Many Rings". So LIKE ANY SANE PERSON, I jetpacked up to the highest volcano shortly before receiving a notification that I should toss it in the lava.   I received an achievement and a title.    I'm not sure what to think, mostly because a tiny invisible objective that can be anywhere on the map seems like a gigantic gently caress-you to anyone who wanted the title, but hoo-ray!

Anyone have a good build for the Raptor? 37 currently, using the charge rifle with blue charge mods but the AOE capabilities are awful, so I'm considering swapping to R36 (would prefer not to if there's a good charge rifle build). I'm also sticking my mammoth Health Surge alongside Anatomy Lessons or Hunter on most all my 40 frames for sustain along with a health core. Are there better methods to surviving, or is this the most cost effective tank perk talent?

What type of Raptor do you want? There are some builds that can use either the Charge Rifle or the R36. Raid builds usually use an R36 combined with a Lasting Powerfield (over 10 seconds) and perks to increase damage and rate of fire. A popular PvP build is to use Advanced Decoy + Charge Rifle as it is completely unfair to everybody that isn't a Dread class with Rapid Armor. There is also a perk to increase your max HP by 25%. That perk is what people will usually use. Then combine either a Health Core or a Scorcher Nest Core and you are good to go. Also consider adding some defensive perks, as you can get around 15-30% resist against common damage types like fire and kinetic.

Another perk to consider for raid builds is Kill Stealer. 30% damage bonus on targets below half health adds up pretty fast against big fatties like lava slug.

Today was a good day. I logged in to my alt account today just to gently caress around for a bit and wound up getting five levels in Sertao. Afterburner makes Sertao far more enjoyable. I saw the Brontodon King event for the first time today and really liked it. I hope more open world events like that start to show up.

Red 5 is giving away PAX warpaint codes on their twitter account every hour for the duration of PAX South. https://twitter.com/firefall Its pretty easy. I got it first try just now. Just redeem the keys here: https://accounts.firefall.com/account/redeem_key EDIT: Two people just successfully redeemed codes 10 minutes after the 11AM PST batch went up. There is no rush.

I didn't realize it was an xp boost weekend. I'm getting half a level from OCT/Bronto King every time it pops. Hell, at this rate I'll hit 40 and not even step into DT.

Wow. That 10% xp per maxed frame sure as hell adds up fast. I've been squadding with my 6 year old daughter and I'm gaining two levels to her one. On one hand it's pretty nice to get 200k xp for showing up late to Bronto King or OCT. On the other, I'm running out of frames to max again faster than ever. Edit: I've been out of game so long I'm not familiar with the new crafting options. People in DT are talking about their gear and it's greek to me. Am I terribly outgunned just by using regular blue gear pre 1.2? Inimicul fucked around with this message at 14:06 on Jan 28, 2015 |

Brontodon King also spawns in Coral Forest down south so if you need a break from killing El T, it's a good lot of xp and a chance at some interesting loot.
