All screen shake.

Gone.

Right there in the options.

haha what the gently caress

they periodically create screen shakes that are exceptions or sometimes outright re-enable

It's the only thing I really think DE truly fucks up in a meaningful way, since that's really bad for some folks

Oh, hey, the active K-Drive races are shown on the Vallis map when you're mounted on the board. That makes this Nightwave challenge much less annoying than I thought it would be.

If the checkpoints were spaced a little further apart so that my double jump/speed boost mods wouldn't make me overshoot them every time I try to sprinkle in tricks, it might even be fun. :argh:

According to clan chat this morning, you only need to be on the kdrive for the last gate, archwings work in between

Are they? I can only see them on the minimap when I get close. Is it on the 'press M' map or the 'hold M' map?

camels aren't so great
It's both but the scrollable "hold" one lets you put waypoints easier

also according to the wiki it doesnt show it for the free board, just custom builds. Dunno about platbought ones (but i'd assume so), but since i neither have my free one or a plat bought one i can't confirm

If I get a 50% I'll drop $20 (I like to spend about $10/month or less).
But if that 75% monster comes my way, I am going whole hog.

I think this happened to me before but I don't know what it means. After a mission a box appeared in the top left corner of my screen and some weird alien language started to appear. Is this just flavor or does that trigger something?

use nightwave as your guide on what to do first (wiki or ask in clanchat if they want new things)

check the dojo and market for new weapons to build and then do invasions for mats

do new jupiter for Hexanon and the new Eidolon so you can build Wisp

Endgame:
do Fortuna's rep grinds

clear the star chart so you can do Arbitrations

Thanks, I will. I've probably got the star chart cleared barring any new stuff they added, I know I had gotten through all of the planets, moons, and asteroids they had added in 2015.

Can you still do the races on a free k drive? Gonna have to drag my butt between all of em to see which are up if so since they're not on the map.

yes you can do races on the free kdrive

Unperson_47
Oct 14, 2007



It is so immensely dumb that you can't see the race starting points on the map with the free board. You have to gain standing to build a board to see them on the map but you have to do the races to gain standing to build a board to see them on the map.

And I don't think there's an in-world map of the locations unless I'm missing something. I didn't even know about K-Drive races until this Nightwave but that has more to do with the fact that I ditched that board so fast once I got an Archwing Launcher.

Awesome!

you can see them in archwing which is how i imagine you will be searching for them anyway

Even when all you have is the free board? I just used a site that listed the location of the 5 current active races until I actually build a board. (and then completely forget about this until the next Nightwave task that requires it, probably)

i have made 1 kdrive. i got the rep to do that from races on my default board and i found those races by flying around. they show up on the map when you get close to them.

if you are sitting on a real board do they show up on your map regardless of distance (like conservation spots when you are holding the tranq gun?) i havent actually done any races since i made the board.

Yes. It's one of those things that will trip up a player who is new/unfamiliar with the system for seemingly no reason especially when the tranq rifle shows hunting spots by default.

I got drunk a few months ago and bought a pre-build K-Drive.

Not the worst money I've ever spend, I suppose, but I only use it to farm Rep... so, uh...

Have you accepted The Void as your lord and savior?
I guess if it's the final tier kdrive you save yourself a couple of extra days grinding up rep? I mean it's not a smart buy, but the cost is low enough that you don't need to hold a grudge against drunk you.

I definitely bought one a few days ago. I didn't know they were just worse than archwings in every way.

They've more style points than an archwing. but yeah. :(

I do earn rep just by using them though, and I sell top tier kdrive mods fairly often. :v:

I bought the k-drive on special. It’s not a bad idea if you got the plat - saves you time grinding 20K rep just to be able to see where the races are on the map. That should definitely be available to the default board but lol.

When vault hunting, just equip all 4 keys on Rhino. Pop Iron Skin and head for the first large room that has multiple exits that you see (so the round two level one with the void tree in the middle, the one with the elevator that gets used as a mobile defence cell, the one that appears in SO etc). Check all of the exits and then if it's not in the first few big rooms, quit and retry.

It just means that you take 5 minutes per failed run rather than 20 or 30 minutes scouring the level only to fail.

Put a call out on chat to see if anyone wants a free vault run as well. You might not get any bites, but if you do you get some extra pairs of eyes looking for vaults. It costs you nothing.
