nerdz posted:consider EMP jammer against black tusk. I'm running jammer+firestarter and it can perma disrupt black tusk, killing all minitanks and warhounds before they even move and disabling all enemies. I run EMP for all encounters and switch to blinder Firefly when tanks pop up. Speaking of which. The EMP sticky which we will get at the end of the season, might improve things. Combined with Overcharge (for the bigger radius) from an Acosta's, you should be able to shut down all electronics in a room.

Kibayasu posted:...but they disabled that because resetting difficulty was also resetting progress if you had already finished the manhunt. Question on this. Finished the hunt, upped the difficulty to try something, then saw all the pips were empty and the progress at 0% but had the "Replay" text over the rogue portrait. I've seen them talk about said progress counting in other posts elsewhere, but did I get the short end of the stick? Seeing it really sucked the wind out of my sails from continuing to play.

I don't even know because in all the infights with other factions when I'm running around they wipe the floor with anything. Hell, they even helped me kill a hunter and the chunky tank was standing still ignoring hunter's jammer and mortar hits.

If they want it to be a group activity they should just lock it to 4 player scaling like they did with heroics previously.

I just tested it and the numbers go up in your UI but not the damage you actually inflict. As a side note it also feels like they did something to the M1A build. I am NOT killing as well as I should be

I just hit 35 but haven't played since the first week the game came out until now so someone tell me, are ARs any good at endgame? They're the only guns I enjoy using so I'm hoping I can put together a build using one when I get to the end.

If this recent balance change works out, they might come back into favor again.

Yeah ARs used to rule over all other weapons, being a generalist weapon that was just plain better than all others at their own specific tasks. What's making them slightly underpowered right now is probably a bug. Once hit registration issues are fixed they'll probably rule again. Pretty safe bet here

If you like ARs they're kind of in a bad spot right now. Rifles are king until they get nerfed.Kaddish posted:Hahah, I can’t believe they actually just made it harder for solo and 2 man heroics. Wee’ll have to see if the NPC damage scaling/health fix compensates. I read the notes through several times and the language is vague. They seem to want to reduce it, but only for groups. Pretty much everything since the expansion has dropped has been weirdly aiming for this new meta group thing. I figured it'd be sorted by now but if they're happy to keep the loot the way it is and tell me my gameplay stops at Hard then welp.

Only 1 rifle, that does more damage than a semi-auto sniper rifle and is far easier to hit with. The rest are don’t work anywhere near as well.

Cyrano4747 posted:drat. I just got a god rolled chatterbox from my exotic cache. Max dmg/critH/critD. I think it'll be really good when survivability goes up. Chatterbox shines when you're in the thick of it and you get the +100% ROF buff (pushing you to 1400 RPM), but since you die from a mildly stiff breeze these days it's just safer to be as far from enemies as possible. I crafted a max roll Chatterbox and I really want to like it, but my Cold Relations is just plain better (PP-19 with Perfect Strained).

Tried my tank solo build with chatterbox. (Solokov mask, guila backpack with unstoppable force, gila gloves, corrupted system knees and holster and tardigrade chest.) Running shield and deflector drone. Was kinda meh. But I got a Lady death and that works like a charm. Can solo almost everything on challenging.

So what's the deal with this new event? It lasts a week but there's only 4 days listed. Do challenges you don't complete roll over to the next days or something? Because if not lol skipping this one.

I found a really nicely rolled Mk17 that while it wasn't as good as the M1a it was working well and I've always liked the high RPM rifles. Been trying to get an MDR to compare too because in TU7 it was solid with really good stability to spam. Agreed though the rifles are all out of wack, the Sig for example is worthless as it has terrible bounce shot-to-shot.

Uh... did they gently caress up the league reset? I thought your progress was supposed to carry over each week. I just looked and everything is at 0 and it says I need 54 stages for the exotic cache...

Mine was like that but when I went into the loot table it showed the exotic as up next. A single 10/10 challenging run of CDC and I finished it out.

On PS4 is this one of the games that gets picky about save files between physical/digital/deluxe/etc versions? Wondering because my friend sold his physical copy of the base game a while ago but is thinking of getting back into it. If he bought, say, the game + expansion combo via PSN, could he use his old save from the physical? Sorry as I'm sure this has been discussed, but this thread got long!

Jose Oquendo posted:Has this bug and/or hit registration issue been confirmed? Yeah they acknowledged it. I've been saying this for a long time, but there has been no damage rebalance on weapons for this expansion. This means that all weapons should be around the same place they were pre expansion, i.e. ARs dominating and the M1A being a good, but not overpowered rifle. The fact that it's destroying enemies with a DPS build means that if ARs get fixed they'll be even stronger, so enemy TTK will plummet in all difficulties.

Whatever you earned last week is still there even if it says you have 0 ranks earned. If you remember how many ranks away from the exotic cache you were then you just need to earn that many to get the cache now. Fortunately they fixed the overall season rank resetting so that's something positive at least?

Roman posted:Today's maintenance fixed a season reset bug. Damage bug not fixed yet. I'm interested to see what the increased rewards for doing open world activities will be. I got a trash pair of BTSU Datagloves last week randomly as a reward from a public execution so I've been farming targeted LMG zones hoping for a Pestilence with nothing so far. I hope there's a better chance for exotic drops this way. I'm also kinda hesitant to play today with all these changes looming for tomorrow. I'm wondering if the enemy damage for solo and duo players isn't actually increasing compared to how it is now, but rather it's increasing from the new baseline they're setting with tomorrow's patch and they just worded it poorly. That is, they're reducing enemy damage for solo players but not as much as they're reducing it for 4-man groups. Because if their takeaway from the past three weeks is that solo players had too much survivability then we're in for some big big trouble.

No difficulty requirements for today's challenges aside from completing a main mission on Hard or higher. We'll see if the upcoming challenges include a difficulty. Melee attacks swap the polarity for all enemies otherwise swapping weapons or reloading swaps the polarity for you. I haven't played yet in a group, but it seems like it'll be really chaotic because this event relies on you hitting a groove with your swaps and reloads to make sure you're shooting the right polarity.

The 1-2 player changes to Heroic make sense if everyone is rolling overtuned all offense builds because at the moment Heroic missions are far easier to plow through solo than they are in a full group ( tbh I'd probably just add an extra guy or two per wave at Heroic rather than make everything tankier ). I mean for all of my kvetching about my solo skill builds in Heroic, last night I wasn't actually struggling with my blinder/firestarter chem launcher build doing solo Heroic Grand Washington Hotel ( which to be fair, isn't overly tricky). Open world stuff remains a different kettle of fish, the random nature of it all, with some districts being extra tricky as you pull enemy NPCs from neighbouring activities which make Open Heroic a painful slog ( get into a firefight, get blindsided by a named boss on top of battling two different mobs of NPCs, respawn back at a safehouse and start all over again - I've had this happen 4 player groups where it alternates between awesome long drawn out firefights and constant downings ) I feel as though should caveat all this by saying that the bulk of my recal library is now maxxed, I do play a lot of heroic, have access to better rolled gear as a result, and have found it relatively quick to arrange up different gear to mess about with new builds - I bring this up because I've noticed that I'll complain about something being difficult only to have fully reversed my opinion a few days later, and I'm acknowledging that I've probably played way too much to be a fair indicator of what is and isn't hard in this game, and that your experience may be different.
