yeah, I know. but a good amp smooths out a lot of rough edges, so I get the desire to make one amp only.

and the reduction in requirements for the fortuna factions is dramatic, so it's still a big positive.

I'd read enough stuff from people who just didn't want to do X so they never got Y to think they probably could just not launch everything in Bullshit++ mode and still retain players. There's probably some marketing guy laughing at that statement from behind his pile of engagement metric graphs.

I wish they just had different icons for different items it finds instead of always using the same Orokin Eye icon. Just show a little kuria, a somachord, ceph fragment, ayatan sculpture, syndicate medallion, rare container, so I can see whether it's something I care about or not.

Yeah palladino's specifically stated to be the speaker of the veil or something along those lines. The whole Harrow/Rell quest was centered around the red veil iirc.

Go to where you pick operator schools in your load outs, click on a school to enter the screen where you max out stuff in the tree. There should be a 'Represent' button at the bottom right. Click on Represent and behold what capitalism gifts you!

So I had a big discount coupon come up and bought some plat. I've seen Styanax repeatedly mentioned as unpleasant to grind and better to just get through plat - is there any other frame (or weapon, for that matter) I should consider that with, or am I just dumping the rest of this plat into slots and potatoes as needed? MR25 so I've got a good range of stuff, but haven't touched New War or Duviri at all yet (released after the last time I stopped playing, haven't worked up the will to go for it again).

Harrow is the only frame I considered buying outright for plat, but thankfully Circuit happened so eventually I didn't have to. Styanax isn't that bad as long as you don't feel the need to get that one extra shard a week (and you shouldn't, Archon Hunt and Netracells are more engaging imho). The novelty of the game mode wears off, but by then you should have all the blueprints.

Personally, I'd use the plat for store cosmetics, slots and player market primed frames/weapons and mods. The 175 plat that DE requests for Styanax will go a long way on prime stuff from players that you don't necessarily feel like grinding.

Nothing wrong skipping the grind if you hate the game mode, but I'd at least try it first. I think it unlocks right after New War?

In my eternal shame: I had Harrow ground out normally. I got Harrow Prime shortly after coming back, ran out of slots, and... sold Harrow, having forgotten the Helminth even existed. Regrinding from scratch in my future :smith: At least I still have the Prime version.

Fair enough, though. I do have primed mods to gather still (and even some weird holes in my regular mod lineup - missing a few of the 60/60 status mods for some reason, I noticed). Probably best to fund that.

Do not regrind Harrow. Do the main Duviri story at some point, and that will unlock a game mode called the Circuit, which each week allows you to choose from a rotation of 3 non-prime frames, with a relatively quick reward track that will get you all blueprints for said frame. Harrow is part of this and that's how I ended up getting him. Same thing applies if you have bad luck with other possibly annoying frames like Nidus or Equinox. If the RNG hates you, Circuit will make your day.

And for mods, make sure you ask in clan chat beforehand. A lot of us will have extra copies of stuff like 60/60 mods.

I'll keep Circuit in mind. Unfortunately I'm the one remaining player of my old clan that I did a lot of work customizing the dojo for, and I don't want it all to get lost, so I haven't changed over to a goon clan. I'll consider it, though.

If you haven't, contacting Helter to join the clan into the alliance will get you into alliance chat at least. Or poke the Discord maybe?

About your father. If it's any help, he's in the ground now. Sure, it's bad news for him. But on the other hand, it's party time for all those little worms.
Caliban is considered an unpleasant + long grind, consider that for purchase. Punchline being not a great frame, either.
If you've completed Whispers in the Walls, you might wanna buy grimoire mods/tennokai mods from the ingame store instead of farming em.

I got it this week as well and yeah, the Latron Incarnon is hosed up. This poo poo is not ok. I fired a single incarnon shot down a hallway in a SP mission and just... cleared it.

I hit a dude around a corner at one point. On purpose. Stood there for a couple of seconds with the dumbest grin on my face.

It's so good that I now have competition for both "aim a little to do infinity damage" Nataruk and "aiming? how about Everywhere" Ignis Wraith in the primary slot, which I wouldn't have thought possible.

Are any other Incarnons this level of game-changingly fun? I honestly don't know anything about the system beyond what I learned in order to make this exact one happen (which was pure dumb luck, I built Latron Prime this week and it was the only primed weapon I had of the SP Circuit options).

Torid and furis are on the same level of busted, but I'd also put the gorgon, lex, dual toxos, and miter just below them (they're strong but require slightly more aim).

Torid incarnon is great, you fire a toxic beam that tracks onto targets and chains to huge groups. Charges near instantly with decent multishot and you don't even need head shots

Edit: if you're looking for a really slept on incarnon, I just incarnoned my prisma angstrom and it's a blast since it was buffed
