I've had a blast coming back to this game after playing a bit last year, now that I have a better handle on the mechanics, but man...

There's an awfully weird correlation between advancing the star chart with "complete a spy mission with all 3 data captures" and my sudden disinterest in the game :smith:

They are not secretly behind locked orange doors in jupiter tiles. They do not have passcodes locked behind shooting a beeping power conduit that opens shutters that have switches that have symbols on them that if you are fast enough pressing in the correct order, will open that orange door and they are not all in the same room, even if the room is really big, they are not in the same room as the orange door, which does not have another door behind that can only be opened via operators. They do not exist back there, and do not drop mods like Odomedic, Dive kick, and some other gimmick mods. :alad:

I picked up a Prisma Gorgon after unveiling a riven for it and it's my favorite gun now, it's pretty drat close to a minigun and it sounds amazing.

I have a +75% fire rate riven for it and it is about as ridiculous as it sounds

There are plenty of people who like Spy and will just do the mission for you. Ask in chat!

Almost all the spy vaults can be cheesed. Some can be completed in 2 jumps. Look up the shortcuts on YouTube if you need to.

You've got guts! Come to my village, I'll buy you lunch.
I went from hating spy missions to just avoiding them for a really long time because I had no reason to do them, to somehow slowly and inadvertently building up the knowledge / execution to do them really quickly (probably due to sorties) and now I find it one of the most fun modes in the game.

I still get a reminder of how much it used to suck every time I try one of the new Jupiter maps, though. :v:

The biggest problem with water tag is that the ttk is awful for seasoned players who are used to having a primary that does ungodly dps.

I can imagine my operator bashing his water pistol against a rock screeching WHERE DO THE MODS GO

You can go in solo and press escape for 5 minutes, a draw still gets you 50 pearls and timer keeps going even paused.

I think though this is a reflection on how the scoring is messed up. If they'd made it +1 shell per kill on top of the 50 shells for a win, people would be engaging with it more instead of trying to work out ways of afking it.

Give us a Soaktron for sale from Nakak, let us mod it. Keep it at base damage 0.

If you mod it with toxic damage it becomes the Nox gun it originally was.

If you happen to want to cheese this event for pearls, there seems to be a slight bug: pausing the game when in Solo mode freezes the game world, as it does when you're in any non-open world stage, except the timer keeps counting down.

This is can only be described as 'so DE'. How is it that a game that they obviously don't spend much time playing or testing manages to be so weird and fun?

Some of them clearly spend time playing the game somewhat frequently. Just not the actual people doing the development.

Steve's a good graphics programmer.

I'm not sure I'd call him a great graphics programmer like Glen, but he's good.

... it's him doing design and especially balancing that may be a problem.
