Automated Posting posted:Started off as a Pally and am having a good time, wanted to poke the thread with a few questions. Paladin wants Spirit/Luck, Crushing Blow > Discharge Activation/Critical Chance. Stamina and Might aren't really stats you choose to go for, they primarily come from your weapons, your temples and nodes you take along the way. The game's sphere grid doesn't allow nearly as much stat customization as PoE's. Not moving through the ascension atlas optimally will not affect you significantly in the long run. You can't really end up with a lovely character, but you can end up with one who deals slightly less damage than would be ideal for their prestige. This has less to do with the ascension atlas (unless you straight up pick bad symbols and go out of your way to have the wrong stats for your build) and more to do with having your temples ranked up too high; the advantage here is that you will also have significantly more hp than what is 'expected' for that prestige, in addition to unlocking prestige-locked content sooner. Keep in mind that the only things that really set you ahead of your prestige are multipliers like symbols and secondary stats, and primary stats optimized to take advantage of them. x2/x3 missions change every day or two. No experience with Alchemist. BenRGamer posted:Welp, I finally decided to go 'gently caress it,' dug out my old wired mouse and keyboard, and grabbed a tv-tray to play this game from my couch. There's an item you can buy in the market that heals you for 30% HP, with a 2 minutes cooldown and one use per fight. Most boss fights are balanced around either avoiding damage entirely or dealing enough damage that you recover your lost HP through the health orbs, which drop once per bar of boss HP.

Thanks, Liberatore. So when picking out rings, I'll prioritize Spirit/Luck. Do I need to worry about Strength on gear or do I just get that from nodes?

You don't need strength at all. But it's inevitable that you will get some from nodes, and don't worry about that. It's rings you have to keep track of. Every class wants either Spirit/Luck or Strength/Luck, and the secondary stats to match. A few of them can go either way depending on what you want to do. Aphrodite posted:Is stuff like this documented somewhere? The ten 1hr licenses thing is in the tooltip of the space tractor on the store, and is mentioned in the mounts window.

Berserker promo: how the heck does this resource work. It seems to rest at 250/500 and generate very slowly even when left clicking. Cooldowns don't consume it but any of the right click skills take like half the bar, as does whirlwind which seems to be the only way to clear groups of the mass minions. Flash of Rage is cool but the range is too short to use it against a big group and the cast time is enough for them to kill you. The fastest way to kill bosses seems to be to forego clicking entirely and just use the damage boost + chainsaw move (3) whenever they're off cooldown and spend the rest of the time running around because rooting yourself is suicide 90% of the time in this game. The ultimate has a short cooldown though and it feels very 'berserk' so that's cool I guess. Overall: felt a lot of getting enemies down to 10% in 2 seconds and then struggling to whittle off the last 10%. Maybe the promo was missing a key skill that makes the class playable, or maybe the class is just better at clearing lower-difficulty content faster rather than facing things rated Impossible.

Just did MSM for the first time today, going a bit slow. Geez, does the game stop playing around when it gets to 5-man content. That poo poo required actual planning to some extent, especially some of the early pulls. It probably didn't help that for the first two wipes, my pubbie group (including myself) failed to notice that our support was trolling or being afk or something, and was doing nothing but constantly walking off the bridges. Once we kicked that guy and got a new one in, things went a lot smoother.

Flash of Rage is cool but the range is too short to use it against a big group and the cast time is enough for them to kill you. It generates slowly on normal hits, but you'll get a lot more when you finish your left click combo attack. You also can get some by taking damage. First off, make sure your right click debuff is always on whatever you're attacking. It's 30% of your damage. Assuming it is up, your priority is usually to Crushing Blow (left click combo) and use Crippling Blow and Firestorm on CD, until your mana is close to full. Pop Thrill of Battle, then get as many Fractures (left, left, left, right) off as you can, while still using Crippling Blow and Firestorm (Not whirlwind) on CD You can dash-cancel to speed up your recovery from Crushing Blow and Fracture. Battle Frenzy restores 70% of any damage you take for 5 or so seconds, so it's really great for when you need to stand in the fire to hit the boss

Flash of Rage is cool but the range is too short to use it against a big group and the cast time is enough for them to kill you. I think Rage is restored when you deal or take damage. The promo version has the defensive skill that effectively reduces incoming damage by 70%. You get a talent that makes makes it so whenever you try to CC an enemy that is immune to it, you reduce their damage by 50% (for a longer duration). The right click increases your damage dealt significantly. If you think rooting yourself is suicide then yeah you will enjoy Slayer, but don't ever play Monk, which is a lot like Berserker but with fewer defensive skills and no equivalent to Crushing Blow (the chainsaw move), relying instead on timing short duration (2-3s) invulnerability, CC and movement skills to avoid incoming damage. I don't remember if the promo version gets Firestorm and its talent, but Berserker (along with Monk and Necromancer) is amazing at clearing multiple groups of trash at once then absolutely murdering bosses, regardless of difficulty. Slayer is much easier against bosses, with fast attacks, really good ranged damage, several ways of avoiding damage entirely and great mobility, but it's severely lacking in AoE damage.

The support in this game is a loving mess. I figured I'd get my free GM mulligan name change and, after making a ticket, got a pretty quick response asking me to reply with my desired name.... which I provided in the initial ticket. I replied and, hours later, got a response from a different GM asking me to please be patient and not reply to tickets. I shot back that I was acting as instructed and today I get a response from a third GM, which for some reason shows up on the website but not in game, asking what name I want. The things I do to save $10 worth of argents.

RottenK posted:Saw that the academy was finished, and i guess at least one tier of power station since i saw an energy bar. What are we building next? How the gently caress does this even happen. I was monitoring it all night and we were 200 short. All of a sudden early as gently caress Monday morning you shitbirds somehow manage to scrape together 200. Motherfuck. Now we got a new loving problem. The current vote has us going for additional power. My intention was to build the HQ or Additional slots next depending on what the situation was upon completion of the loving power plant. The HQ only needs 1,000 power and the power plant by default gives us that so we dont need the loving condenser right now. All commanders vote that poo poo down for the reasons that follows. The HQ costs 1.5 million. The Square costs 4 million. (We just unlocked the option to build this with the power plant completed.) Expanding the power plant by 1,000 power costs 400 grand. (For this tier. I can only imagine that the cost goes up with each completed expansion) The Square requires 4,000 power. Our current bankroll has us at 3.4 million. By the grace of god we got some super spergs to snatch up the Holy Text market on day one and gently caress with it to become high rollers. Then somehow they considered the goon guild a good investment. This large influx of money has been keeping us going with literally TWO goon backers and a very small drip donated from people in what appears to be a miss click. At this rate with the remaining sperg slush fund we have we will be bankrupt before we unlock the buildings in the guild that allow for mirrah drop spending. Without those buildings you motherfuckers are not gonna see any loving reason to donate to the guild. So here is the loving rundown. We cancel the power plant expansion vote. Start the HQ construction. Putting us at 1.9 Million. Pray to I am not going to do any loving tax bullshit like the pub spergs are running in order to increase their progression. We have entirely too many goons to keep track of that poo poo for as well as there is no loving way you butt pirates are going to pay taxes to begin with. Instead I am going to simply piss and moan like a goddam child in mumble and guild chat that you grease the guild or Ill write you into a sonic the hedgehog fanfic and sign your name as the author. gently caress gently caress. poo poo balls. rear end. Bitch and gently caress. Edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJUr1qm_rWk Drinkfist fucked around with this message at 13:30 on Jul 20, 2015 |

I was finally able to reach necro first week and almost immediately hitting spark cap right after. I had to start being very careful what missions I was doing so I didn't get too much of the wrong sparks and hit the cap like one of my dummy friends did. What stats should I be focusing on for necro? I've been hording +spirit things mostly. E:I am also noticing that after doing the VR class demo I unlock the class costume and something else. What's that other thing? Ass_Burgerer fucked around with this message at 14:49 on Jul 20, 2015 |

Well it says it'll give you places to go to do guild missions in but the actual base is just pretty pictures you click and numbers that go up. Which is both a good thing and a bad thing and everybody who has played Warframe with goons and been to the dojo will understand.

I'm assuming the majority of the goon presence resides on the US server? Is there an active EU Pantheon or will I have to pick up a pub one if I want to get into the guild specific content? 'Killmen Murderizer' currently flails around the EU cluster at 3929 prestige.

I messed with Alchemist a little and it looks like the buff needs to be triggered before they are summoned. Then again, damage is weird and inconsistent so I am probably wrong.

I must really be doing something wrong. I've been playing at least an hour a day since the early access and I'm pretty sure I haven't even hit the spark cap for the first week yet (~8000 until cap). I've been doing story missions and hitting the x2/x3 squad missions when they give sparks but my spark income is dismal. Is there some stupid simple thing I'm missing? I haven't unlocked any classes yet, though that's more because I was stupid and indecisive and ended up finishing the first half of the atlas for all 3 of the starter classes. At the rate I'm going it'll probably be another week yet before I hit Slayer.

This is a pretty casual game, and you never loose out on the cap because it rolls over week to week. As long as you're having fun doing what you're doing it doesn't mater which way you do it.

The sparks gained increase as you increase in prestige. Once you get over 2k, the gains go up significantly and even faster over 5k. At an hour a day, you probably won't hit the cap though. At least not without a bunch of replicator and premium.

I have not put in as much time as you have so far but comparing what you just said with my current rate of progress I'd say that you probably are not doing anything that is slowing you down a lot more than it should. Instead, I think it just further shows that the caps, despite the amount of attention and rage they get, really only impacts the poopsockers while most other people can safely pretend that they do not exist. The only thing that really seems to impact casual players is how long it takes to unlock classes. Progression sometimes feels more like a game of what not to spend your sparks on than it does choosing what to invest them in.
