Silo! (switches "easily" between melee and ranged) What it feels like: Abilities Firebomb Bomb, fire dot. Oil Bomb Slows, explodes when fire bomb hits it. Nice radius. With ability points, it deals more break damage. Oil bomb gives a free fire bomb charge, so by using fire bomb first, he ends with 3 overall charges. Proto-Clone Taunt. Counts a free dodge so use movement buttons to control where he ends up to save on stamina. Ability points makes it do some AoE. Not worth it imo. ARC Nemesis Meh: the ability. It does a lot of AoE, slows, but isn't one shotting anything. It can clear waves and last long enough to kill respawns for those event types. Not bad, not great. Stats: Mix ap and weapon power. Add crit power at 30. Weapon: Ranged. Really hard to aim his bombs in melee but doable by locking on. Ability points: Heavy IMO, max fire bomb and oil bomb. He gets a lot of uses of them. Affinity: Discipline 1 gives 10% crit chance on debuffed enemies, which synergizes with his passive. Sorta similar to Venomess, its free stats that allows him to slot other stats. Going Instinct 1, Discipline 1, Focus 1 is well rounded. Focus 2 and Discipline 2 overlap, so Instinct 2 is probably a better bet. I have Discipline 2 and it's overkill on ability uses. My first and a solid choice for a first wayfinder. Silo's abilities are generic on paper and feels that way in play. There's a finesse and gimmick free nature to him that I enjoy. Plastering enemies with fire bombs, dodging with proto-clone, and setting up a group for arc nemesis can feel good.

Doing repeat Dread Legion runs now that I can beat it pretty consistently and trying to grind Senja. I'm frequently getting multiple big item drops per run. Got a dozen or so wins. So far I've landed: 10x Optic Cortex 4x Kyros summon parts 3x Dread Legion echo and 6+ rare accessories Not one part for Senja. I'm losing my god damned mind. I swear the game knows. Also, they just announced a new patch coming soon to allow Affinity respecs. So that's good news.

Yeah, I don’t expect to be that into her at first, but the devs have said they plan to rework her since they know she has issues. I like her character design, so I’m hopeful the skill tweaks will make a difference down the line. If nothing else, unlocking her will satisfy my latent completionism. That is, if I can ever get her drops. Got to around 25-30 Dread Legion runs in the tank last two nights and I’ve got one Senja drop.

I think they’ve done some work and have more improvements coming. The game runs pretty flawlessly for me when I’m in a randomized level or boss fight. The only places where I get consistent hiccups are in the hub area, like you said, almost always at the same exact spot approaching the gate. So I’m wondering if there’s some behind the scenes loading going on right there.

Senja has very obvious flaws and subtle strengths but she's still cool to me. I'd make her two abilities accumulate favor faster because fully charging them every 10 seconds kills the flow. Keep the charging window because it allows her to safely mitigate attacks. Her favor damage buff should get like red numbers or a visual effect just so it's noticed. Overall, she's tough and hits hard. She doesn't need a self-heal if she's showboating properly. There isn't a good reason to not give a little self-heal considering how much healing other wayfinders can dish out. And pummel feels bad with the long windup and no payoff. Mechanically, it's a mitigation move and the stagger is useful. Just too subtle.

Honestly (if you believe AJ that is) this doesn't sound like doom and gloom at all to me. This game *is* pretty far along. It's functional, has a pretty well-designed core loop, great visuals, really satisfying combat, and the makings of what could be a promising cross-platform live service. I don't doubt there's already interest from other publishers, and if Airship actually does have the money behind it to bridge the transition to another publisher they could pull it off. Honestly with the XP buff and AJ mentioning adjustments to drop rates being on the radar, influence from a publisher *other than* Digital Extremes could be just what this game needs.

That really sucks, and I hope they can work out refunds for the console bros. It perplexes me a bit that any company does "early access" at this point of development that includes consoles with all the red tape involved in pushing out updates, and this situation (not being able to patch a platform because of a relationship with a publisher) was never even something that I was aware of before.

Yeah, I saw that too. The PlayStation issue is obviously really bad, but honestly I feel like most of the other stuff represents a positive change, provided they can get a publisher lined up. I hate how omnipresent the seasonal model is in gaming. Having a more consistent flow of new stuff to do and collect seems way better to me then getting a huge dump to grind through every 3-4 months. I feel like Airship has been a lot more nimble in their adjustments recently too. Quick fixes to the issues that irritate the community the most should always be priority when you’re doing EA. So I’m pretty happy with the game’s trajectory right now, but they’re going to need to secure funding to make it work.

I actually appreciate that they're pausing Seasons and thinking about it again. I'm surprised to hear how much was being pushed on them from DE? Publishing varies wildly from company to company but I kinda assumed they were a bit more hands-off than they actually were. Curious to see if any massive business model changes come out of this.

Niss! (it's a dark souls reference) What it feels like: Abilities Shadow Step Line aoe, damages twice, counts as a dodge. Works as a dodge too. Highly recommend locking on prior to using 2 charges because she will teleport in wild directions. SS is surprisingly flexible as damage or defensive. Will wipe out non elite enemies with ap. Umbra Aura This is a group buff, use it around teammates and they get a charge too. Makes SS even better. Should be used on cooldown and before engaging. Better than it seems. Vengeful Shade A tricky but strong abilities. Grants aoe damage and invulnerability when used but has a second step. Press attack to do a another aoe for more damage but no invulnerability. Doing the second attack can and will kill her in some scenarios. Respect it. But instead of pressing attack, she can use dodge and do a cool flip after the first attack. The dodge has some range so it can save your buns. Gloom Shroud Really difficult to use to the fullest. This gives SS unlimited charges during its duration. It can do huge damage in the right situation, barely any, or flat out kill you. Definitely want to save umbra aura and lock on (after its triggered). Stats: AP, weapon damage. As before, mix in some crit rating/power at high levels. She shouldn't get hit too much. Weapon: Daggers are good because she benefits from the pure invulnerability of parries. Everything else is okay. Ability points: No bad choices if you max an ability. Personally, I maxed SS and vengeful shade for more SS charges. Affinity: Discipline 2 is good in general, Instinct 2 is good for abilities. Focus feels like overkill but could help teammates if the orbs grant them lingering shadows. She's another example of "boring on paper, awesome in gameplay." Niss embodies damage as support. She changes the way fights feel because enemies die so fast. With SS and vengeful shade, she has more survivability than it seems. She is rated challenging but not that hard ultimately. The first wayfinder I max leveled because she's hella good. temple fucked around with this message at 03:31 on Nov 20, 2023 |

Yeah, Niss is who I started with and I absolutely love everything about the character design and how she plays. She's easily my #1 favorite. Love the hit and run playstyle. Love that she has so many "oh poo poo emergency eject" options that also do killer damage. I seriously can't wait for them to add Awakening so I can get back to leveling her again. Just everything about her is fun to me. EDIT - Also, Niss with Tempest is ludicrously good too. She's maybe the best in the game with a shotgun because she can get right in the pocket and blast fools with impunity since she has a ton of options to avoid sudden attacks and regain distance whenever it's needed. Pretty much the only time you're ever in real danger is if everything is on cooldown and you have no stamina, so as long as you leave a couple of abilities in the tank then you're free to go nuts with offense. It's really nice to catch an Equilibrium echo for her for this reason too, although that's a great thing to pick up for any character probably.

They gave me like 2500 gold which is just a oddly low amount. The materials are put in a special reserve though so you can't use them on anyone else.

I’ve been putting a lot of time into this game over the past few and it’s still a lot of fun but a few things, The echo overhaul is going to change the game a lot so I’ve essentially stopped dicking around with them and just slot what looks ok and moving on. I’m not gonna waste my time upgrading them since it seems like a lot of this is going to get thrown out the window. I really hope they improve menu performance lol. It’s most noticeable on my steam deck but even on my main pc you can definitely feel it chug when you go into the menus. Like on the deck I’ll get a smooth 40 fps then open the character menu and it drops down to 20 lol. Overall I’m having fun and the Christmas even is pretty cool.
