Hauki posted:What the hell is BIF for someone who doesn't read patch notes? So, they've been planning a move from Rare Item Find and Special Item Find, which were percent increases to drop rates that were already like .0002 and so not very effective, to a system called Bonus Item Find. Bonus Item Find boosts trigger a bar that you fill by killing lots and lots of mobs, especially elites. When you fill that bar, you get a guaranteed lootsplosion that typically has a boss artifact, a rare cosmetic artifact or spray, bunch of uniques, sometimes a pet, really a ton of stuff. Sometimes great, sometimes just good. There's also a very very small chance for cosmic artis, but you're still way better off farming a specific boss. So the best thing to do is high mob-density cosmic content like Cosmic Ultron term where there are lots of elites and a boss whose cosmic arti you want. Stacking them increases duration and how quickly the bar fills. With 5 boosts stacked, I usually can fill the bar in one Cosmic Ultron terminal. There are vendors in Avengers tower that will let you exchange old boosts for new ones, and they've reworked all fortune cards (including the ones you can buy from Clea with ingame currency).

The Infernal Warskrull / cultists wave in CHT also fills the BIF bar crazy fast. I always get at least 2 boxes from one wave and usually get 3 at 5 stacks of the boost. Definitely something screwy there but mow down those cultists while it lasts.

Good news for people who have been struggling to Ultron since summoners all died, he's fun again with a brutal build! Added bonus, you can wear a Power Cosmic while you try it out instead of having to kick in for a Nullifier.

Since you can also get random costumes and hero tokens from the loot explosions too, seems to make sense. Pretty sure he also said that they won't be adding end-game boss items to it, at least any time soon.

How does this compare to Path of Exile? Sort of similar, not even remotely the same, what? I need an ARPG to scratch an itch apparently, and PoE's worn thin.

Ciaphas posted:How does this compare to Path of Exile? Sort of similar, not even remotely the same, what? I need an ARPG to scratch an itch apparently, and PoE's worn thin. Game is currently undergoing a series of changes where they are overhauling the core systems of the game. Basically, they have streamlined a lot of things like the hero skills, talents and are redoing the itemization. They also re-did how movement/dashes work, so you will probably see a fair amount of people bitching about that, but don't put much stock in the complaints, just people resistant to change. There is no hardcore mode in this game, you aren't required to use a loot filter, or run the story 2.5 times over to level up your character. There are more ways to level up your character than just slogging through the story, however the story is generally the fastest method these days. Making builds, is a lot simpler than PoE, but there are also 50+ heroes of varying archetypes, so you get a decent amount of variety and they are adding more heroes over time. There isn't much of a trading economy in this game, especially when compared to PoE. You can trade a limited number of things, but your progression won't be hindered like it is in PoE, if you don't. The map system in PoE is leagues better than the equivalent system in this game (Danger Room), but PoE's maps have also had a lot more iteration since they came out. Danger Room hasn't really had much done to it since it came out, although they have said they would like to do more. Having said that, most people tend to grind patrol modes these days for end-game items. There are also boss terminals and some other game modes for end game item drops, not to mention a rotation of in-game events. Anyways, if you are a new player, you will find there is lots to do and figure out. Most of us here probably have over 1000 hours in the game. Only thing you really have to spend money on eventually is stash space, like in PoE, but things like heroes you can grind out for free or buy in the store, if that is your thing. Game is F2P, so if arpgs are your thing and you enjoy the Marvel IP, definitely worth checking out. If you decide to do so, let us know your in-game name and we can invite you to the "supergroup". madcow fucked around with this message at 21:02 on Feb 12, 2017 |

Want to play Ultron even though Summoners are dead? Want to see big red numbers? Want to have a fairly smooth rotation on a character who will benefit immensely from the animation-cancel patch? Here comes a special boy!  T1: The other talents are useless for you, so you take the bonus rez. T2: You may think "but I want to use Energy Overload more! why wouldn't I take the reset?" Because it is a trap. EO 0s out your Power so you don't get anything from being able to back-to-back it. Getting a decent burst cooldown out of Encephalo Beam is better. T3: Mandatory. Operation:Smash always bruts. Now you can do it twice as 200% damage. Operation:Smash is life. T4: Mandatory. Converts Power into autocrit damage in a fat line. It is delicious. T5: More sigs would be nice, but you know what's nicer? Effectively-a-layer with the pulse damage, + burst resource regen means you can use all your other powers and still get back to Power cap right as EO comes off cooldown. Probably could stand to play around with legendaries more, but 1500 DR and +2 all feels pretty nice. Siege Targeting SEEMS like it's suboptimal compared to a GoK or something but still fiddling with it. If you hit LMB between cooldowns, you'll eventually, inevitably stack and maintain the DR buff from Book. The Area damage + Energy from Cyke shirt is great. The general stats (this is a +3 Energy credentials) + stacking BDR are decent on those Crossbones Creds. Rotation: Hold LMB, open with a dash through something random to proc your Power Doop's phys component (you'll have gotten the energy one off your basic). Apply vuln with RMB, jump in. Energy Overload will fire off a full Power shot by the time it activates (between the animation + the jump). Operation: Irradiate to get the pulse + regen. Sig when everything's back up for the buff, do it again. Now keep doing it. Enjoy always getting a big fat red number burst when you jump, and more often than not getting an even bigger burst from EO. UPDATE Everything above still applies, except if you're a rich post-raider throw on a Fragment of Twilight and Essence of Jinn and watch your stupidly large numbers get even stupider and larger.

Thanks for the words. Looks like I played it at some point, since I have 3 hours on record, so we'll see what I have. Are there any serious business end-game challenges the likes of The Shaper and Uber Atziri? Not necessarily like one-shot mechanic-a-thons, just endgame-y stuff more substantial than the Greater Rift analogue.

Have you tried Ultron with twilight fragment instead of saw? Only reason I suggest it is because of him having a low ratio of autocrit stuff, along with that strong autobrut crashdown that saw doesn't do anything for either. twifrag will push that crashdown much higher, be a great dps boost for regular powers, and probably only a bit behind saw for the crit laser since you aren't using nullifier.

Ciaphas posted:Thanks for the words. Looks like I played it at some point, since I have 3 hours on record, so we'll see what I have. There really isn't anything like Atziri or Shaper at the moment, nothing where you have to farm pop items or have fights as involved as Shaper. End game is mostly one of several patrol modes, maybe one of the 2-3 10 man raids if you haven't burned out on those, some boss terminals and 5 man Ultron game mode. They have really tried to make it so you have a wide variety of way/modes to farm items rather than being stuck farming the same game mode over and over. Having said that, I think people spend most of their time in the patrol zones after a while. In the past, most of the game has been pretty face roll easy once you get enough gear, however they recently removed a lot of things that made it so easy (e.g. invulnerability bubble with medikits and infinite, instant dashing). They also overhauled the difficulty curve, so things are more challenging than they used to be. You can no longer sit and face tank stuff on cosmic difficulty like you used to be able to on most heroes, you actually have to dodge, change up your build, etc. now. Even heroic difficulty on the story presents a challenge these days, if you try it while leveling. They also added a new difficulty slider with the hero/movement overhaul, which will eventually lead to omega difficulties/items when they implement that later in the year. The whole idea being similar to the way D3 was or is, wherein you get better rewards with the higher difficulties and omega items being the new end game items to farm for. Omega items are supposed to allow for more interesting itemization than what we have now with uniques being the end game, but we are all just kind of waiting and seeing how those turn out. So yeah, cosmic difficulty is currently the highest, which takes a decent amount of gear. I wouldn't say any of the boss fights are particularly challenging though once you are geared, mostly just stay out of red kind of thing. I think, most us are hoping the changes they have made recently to movement, hero abilities, etc. will lead to more interesting content down the line, but no way to know definitively.
