I am big kahuna founder package. I swore the exp bonus pre patch was 10%. Now it's showing 5.

Relogged and now it's showing a 20% forever bonus. I think i'm going to let the dust settle for a week or so before I sperg out.

I had an issue and got a dev on email within a few minutes. Dudes are seriously good.

edit: I'm a bit behind - what's the status on the Goon Armies (army size cap)? I'm kinda strictly PvE, so I'd hate to clog up a spot in a PvP group. Also, I'm sticking around for a while (founder and all that bullshit)

SH is more of an XP spot than anything. It's a bit of an exploit spot where you can put up a few big thumpers and none of the larger mobs can get to them. 95% of the time they're thumping dirt.

Otherwise, the spots are randomly dotted all over the map and you have to use your scan hammer to find deposits.

Let it sit, it may take 20-30 minutes but it will probably go through.

New things scare me :ohdear:

I think I like the new progression system though.. at the very least it actually gives me something useful to spend the founders funbux on with the Battleframe shortcuts maybe ? because before all I had to spend it on was battleframe slots due to most of the cosmetic unlocks being not my thing at all.

Speaking of which I am not a fan of removing/changing some of the cosmetic customisation options, the new female heads/faces for the most part are ugly as hell, I think I manage to find the one that was the same as the second option in the list before the patch though(the non "anime" looking one of the previously offered choices)

Can I get in with goons without using Mumble for now by the way ? my CPU in current system is pretty much borderline retarded (core2duo lol)so anything in the background may slow things down to much. This will be fixed sooner rather then later and not very subtlely with a move to a Sandybridge E setup however..

"I want to see what she's in love with."

The servers are having trouble tonight because tons of people who haven't played for a while are all logging in to check out the patch. Don't give up on it if you're having trouble tonight! Also, the patch will probably have some rough edges, post here for clarification before giving up on stuff, I'd expect another smaller patch in the near future to smooth out various rough edges that we're all quickly finding.

So far from the little I've done/looked at, a lot of the changes to frames seem to have neat things or ideas tied to frames, and the only thumper I checked out was the personal one, which actually had a decent number of enemies attack it. Before, you could probably have not killed any bugs and still filled it up(may be slight exaggeration), now it is still pretty easy, but a good intro for players. The pirates highjacking a shipment event seemed to have the pirates buffed up some, or I'm just remembering doing it in a group instead of solo.

Once my fabricator thingy stops being bugged and actually sees my inventory, looking forward to seeing what sorts of things you can tweak with crafting. Currently mine won't let me craft anything, as it thinks I have nothing (0 crystite even though you start with 200, etc).

Separating pve and pvp is a good call I think, it lets them have a nicely balanced setup with a low material barrier to entry, putting more into the player skill instead of "go thump until you can make the best stuff and then pvp". They don't have to worry about trying to balance neat pve things with pvp, or put in special pvp stats on stuff to make it better. Looking forward to playing some of that with the various frames and seeing how it goes! Glad that they turned off moisture farm for the time being, that map needed to be a DM with more spawn points or something.

I'd probably just say if you haven't played before tonight is not a good time to start. I've had to relog between every starter quest objective to actually make any of them work.

edit: Also I haven't played in forever so maybe the lighting isn't new but christ it is blinding.
