So here is a thing. In the 2nd Stolen Dreams stealth mission where you have to sneak into Greneer facility, there is a system of conveyors. One of them has loot lockers moving from a compartment to a furnace. And it's endless. I've popped about 40-50 until it got really boring. If you're a new player and need some materials, affinity and cash, this is where you want to go.

I think the most annoying part of the Void Trader is that you literally have to guess where the guy is if you don't want to go relay by relay trying to find where it is.

EDIT: HOLY poo poo DE. They removed the ability to press Enter to keep the chat tab open. You have to HOLD ENTER to keep it open while you type. :psyduck:

Not quite true, at worse you'll go to the wrong relay once, check the Prime Parts to ducat terminal, sees which terminal he's at, because it tells you, then go there.

The new devstream didn't reveal much. Mostly pvp poo poo yay
  • New frame theme confirmed as "dragon", they specifically cited the standard D&D chromatic dragon thing for the source of the energy color thing, and Scott said it "probably" won't mean that you will have to have bought palettes to get access to all damage types.
  • Over half of it was more pvp poo poo, including a playtest of a 4 on 4 CTF match. There will be an approved list of normal mods usable in pvp, but also pvp specific mods from the new syndicate. Energy will come from preset drop points on the map. While there will be changes to powers and weapons in pvp, Steve and Scott both said they will be confined to pvp only and not change the pve game. I'm not optimistic regardless
  • More on the scanning cephalon quest guy; it's not just scanning them, this new cephalon is kind of nuts and trying to build a Noah's Ark or something, and he wants you to go around scanning then actually capturing things. In return, aside from lore unlocks, it also lets you replay old mastery tests as well as practice your next one
  • Raid confirmed for 16 (probably) and as the centerpiece of the update; they were not specific on the rewards but said it's an entirely new type of item that was originally intended to be part of Focus (lol)

I need to do the same thing. I've had bad luck with most of my tower runs since the last trader - very few actual prime parts.

It's better than the Rathbone and the Onerix, but it still doesn't measure up to the Centaur due to the latter's insane crit rate. Like its original version, it also has delays between combos while the Centaur does not.

Melee mode in archwing is fun. Spin, twist, mash the button and jump from one enemy to the next if they're within 50M of each other (which is harder to be than you'd think, considering the sheer size of the levels.)

Deceitful and black-hearted, perhaps we are. But we would never go against the Code. Well, perhaps for good reasons. But mostly never.

But is there any reason to actually equip the melee weapon before doing this, rather than keeping the gun equipped the whole time?

Channeling's a 50% damage boost basically for free in archwing since there's so many energy balls everywhere at all times

The end of your combos have a really awkward end animation where your dude puts away the sword to switch to back to the gun.

Also channeling.

If it's according to stance then it should work with every other non-Veritux weapon, then.

Oh and another bug to add on the pile of not having any trades, and people randomly not being able to invite me: I built the archwing but it's not loving registering that I did so, I see it in my inventory but the button doesn't even show up in the arsenal and the quest still tells me to build it.

Speaking of bugs, got a real doozy this time. Was trying to farm the nightmare Alad V assassination, first few runs went great, then I just started getting instakilled. As in, no animations, no attacks, no warnings, I just down Alad and almost down Zanuka and bam I die, through invisibility and full shields/hp. One of the runs, I killed them both, made it out through the door, and died with no mobs in the room with me (both doors closed). I would just die for no reason. :psyduck:

Relog. Then when you finally complete the quest, relog again.

One of them was. I had 8+ minutes on the clock. This happened 6 times in a row, all different challenges, etc. Just a bit mind-boggling- but then I realized Earth had a nightmare exterminate, so I just went to run that for mods.

That's enough to buy a slot and potato for every frame out there although I still wouldn't potato and keep the ones that have prime variants, a slot and potato for every gun you ever want to use and some slots to cycle the poo poo you're just maxing and dumping, buying all the nightmare mods and a fair chunk of prime parts if you're lazy but smart about trading, all the colors if you buy the discount bundles, and a fair bunch of other cosmetics. 4k is a lot. What I'm saying is buy the color bundles if you're even remotely interested in getting more of them.

I had a similar bug with the kubrow quest. Go into our codex, then quest section, then re-assign the archwing quest as your primary. It should check you've done all the steps then complete itself.
