It's how her species communicates

A little newb help. Trying to kill a juggernaut for the first time. I can get them to spawn, just can't get them to come to me. If I'm doing a capture, after I get the target should I go towards the extraction to find more infested? Or away? I feel like I lose killin time trying to find enemies after I capture the target.

Basically just keep moving and killing, when you've killed enough it'll scream and Lotus will tell you it's coming. Survival missions are you best bet to get him to spawn, just because things keep spawning.

Nidus took me by far the longest, i had a reasonable few hours for the octavia ODS part and got ivara doing solo corpus spies for a few hours on an afternoon, but i think i ran like 30-40 infsalv solo 11 minute C rotations over the course of a week trying to get the last part and got nothing but "80 endo" rewards - which still holds my personal #1 top spot for most mean-spirited drop table entry. It got more fun once i stopped treating it like tedious ember WoF boredom and started using it as a 10 minute benchmark for various other AoE sustain builds, switching frames and mod loadouts between runs. And just calling it for the day after a few runs, obviously

That's random variance over low sample sizes for ya v:shobon:v

Someone once told me the spawn is actually just tied to the death of a random determined infested, and it sounds insane(ly DErp)

but sometimes that's what it feels like when you're murdering like crazy and he never spawns while other times you accidentally bump over like 3 enemies and juggy shows up instantly

at MR 26 and after turning to the dregs to level:

I actually enjoy K-Drive races, but I think I'll just buy the 3 other boards with plat and ignore Vent Kid standing

Archwing would have been ok if they had better endless missions (so you can actually level your pieces in one go), and will be the reason I'll stay MR26

the best course is definitely buy the kdrives, just spend all the rep on mods and rank ups

So I just started playing and am absolutely hooked. I’m looking at the prime frames and the discord nitro frame bundle. Are any of these worth paying for or should I just continue on with Excalibur? I’m having fun but want to change things up a bit. I’m going to mostly be playing solo or carrying my kid.

If the current Nitro bundle is Saryn then absolutely get that, her prime is consistently one of the most expensive and her regular is a horrible grind. Plus she's one hell of a carry frame since she can just delete entire maps.

I got my Octavia part from ODS within 20 minutes on the first attempt with a goon that had been trying for many hours. The part that gave me my grief was trying to spawn the dumb puzzle on Lua after several hours alone running around. At least with an ODS you can get some affinity and some ok rewards. 25 Lua captures solo sucked. Didn’t realize that crossfire missions spawned it more but oh well.

You can't pub into ODS and the other reason to go in there, O-cells, seems to have been heavily nerfed so it's a bit of a ballache.

Here's the thing, I'm a feminist.





Most of the Moa powers are solid, and they can serve as a platform for the more practical sentinel mods while also having companion tanking capabilities. I built a Moa specifically for synergizing with Hildryn, and it works out great. That said, that's the only time I ever use a Moa. Some people really like their hacking power for changing up how they play spy, but I haven't experimented with it much.

I know, the point is getting Nitro to get regular Saryn is still a good deal given how much plat you're likely going to have to drop for the prime.

The weirdest thing about the MOAs, to me, is that once you build them all for mastery and model specific mods, those mods can be used universally across all MOAs. So you only have to build up your one favorite looking MOA then you can swap it's functionality around all you like. Mines a tubby little fucker :3:

What I found to be the easiest way to do infested salvage was a high duration and power strength Nezha. Pop your halo, pop flamewalker, and run from console to console. Your trail will have more than enough charges dropped in your path, so no searching. If the flames don't kill the infested (which usually happens) they are staggered and easy pickins. Super easy to keep all three consoles at 100%.

yeah thats pretty good


The main reason vets get antsy about buying frames from the in game market is that an absolute shitload of very useful stuff is buyable from players, for much better value:plat ratios, such as syndicate mods and weapons, corrupted mods, and of course primes including prime frames.

That said I think one thing vets like me lose track of is that, once you have a large stable of frames and weapons, the grind + foundry time to build a new frame or weapon feels a lot less daunting because it's not like we're going back to just our starter gear, gear that we might already be bored and dissatisfied with. The marginal value of going from 20 frames to 21 frames isn't going to make you impatient enough to just rush it, but for going from 1 to 2 I think the impatience is more understandable.

Anora posted:

Hildryn and Baruuk are behind two rep grinds (Solaris U and then Vox Solaris), Hildryn is worth it to buy if you don't want to wait, Baruuk is not.

Huh, I thought Hildryn was the easier grind, since spider mom isn't a particularly harsh fight, and frankly 6 lazulite toroids felt way less annoying than 9 lesser toroids.

btw they reversed the hacking Moa nerf, they can hack sorties again, only quest hacks are still gone


only, of course, taking a Moa on a sortie is kinda pointless because they can't have the same durability of like a sentinel or a kavat
