FileNotFound posted:You're running into people who are trying to finish their nodes for Arbys. though i guess only a mild inconvenience as most missions are incredibly short or without penalty for leaving. It's a bit odd to me that after hitting max rank on your class and weapons, estimating a random players build strength is entirely opaque beyond the obvious "incredibly gaudy/expensive looking colors probably knows a thing or two(hundred) about the top meta builds". Suicidal glass cannon without mods that runs off on their own into a meatgrinder of death? Highly specialized top tier mods build that clears and finishes the map before you can drop out of the loading screen? Only time will tell.

alright sunk in for 25 bucks and got the 2k pack in case i feel the game's dying on me and i really need a new frame panic button to spice things up (i've never used boosters in anything ever). Which is about what i spent on PoE which i got a couple hundred hours of casual zen out of. Now that's a game with a convoluted upgrade/currency/skillgrid system. What's the deal with the real money fancypants skins with credited creators? Do those people get a cut of every purchase? RoadCrewWorker fucked around with this message at 18:25 on Nov 14, 2018 |

also this may be the dumbest rookie question but is there really no way to save the password every time you start up the game? the only thing this does is to encourage me to use the same password i have on my luggage (as opposed to the randomized 32 char hex passwords i usually keep in my password safe).

Zero VGS posted:Are there any times where a mission's default difficulty in this game is actually hard? Not counting survival/excavation where it just makes the mobs spawn at higher and higher levels, or hard because bugs or AI stop you from finishing the mission. I'm talking enemies that are super scary off the bat who you need to take cover for (or at least run and gun with health restoration like the new Doom). Then again i also just got my hands on some new weapons so having a 3 vs my max rank starters might skew things a bit.

I bought saturated colors and the gaudiest silly cape i could find so i've already run out of dumb ways to spend stuff. I've got some frame plans now but i'm still planet-locked away from the places the required materials (control modules and sensors) drop. I've been trying a handful of weapons but none seem as fun and fitting to my playstyle than the shotgun (despite its awful name). Is it a terrible idea to just sell those (non-potatoed) weapons that don't gel with me at all to free up the slots or is re-getting them more of a pain/expensive than the slot they take up? Should i keep them around for when i keep other frames that have better synergies? I also tried to look up how to get potatoes "regularly" and apparently the blueprint alone is a 2.5% drop for a daily quest that you can only access near the end-game? Guess that makes the stuff i'm after look downright limitless. Also i've been completely neglecting mods (or upgrading them) and been mostly coasting on auto-filling them every now and then. Just from how overwhelming that system is i can tell it's going to be the majority of character building, but right now it seems half the options are either destructive (as i have no idea what mods are safe to melt down/merge to the next tier) or possibly too expensive for the drain/upgrade trade-off. I assume duplicates are safe to melt down but maybe i got an expensive one that's better for trading (very unlikely)? Game doesn't seem to give any pointers, most of the tutorials i find mostly explain what the systems do but not why and when to do it. Granted, that'S probably too situational/build dependent anyway.

How engaging is the mining? I get that fishing is a zen thing, and i don't mind smashing random deposits while i'm flying through my missions (and occasionally, the deposits), but mining sounds like "pointing at a thing and holding a button" which would feel like a total pace killer where i'm not doing sick tricks on my hoverboard or chaotically spinning into random level geometry. Speaking of engaging, i love how impactful the shotguns feel and that they send smaller mobs flying. Among the 200+ weapons (or frame abilities), which ones are the closest to feeling like a quake 3 railgun or rocketlauncher (if any)?

nerdz posted:So far today the end game of melee is using the melee attack while sliding because not only it's rather consistent between all melee weapons, it speeds you up instead of slowing you down and hits 360 degrees around you for a huge AoE. Tortolia posted:I've been on both sides of the archwing mobility issue and I've only ever been angry when someone was deliberately not helping and being a prick about it. I'm kinda wondering if there's a viable 4 build for that frame that lets me sustain or mitigate the energy drain without having a dedicated support player pocketing me. Which would seem even more ridiculous than doing nothing but slide-melee.

I finally unlocked the first branch of the void and the last mission there dropped me 3 argons (which might be a lot or nothing). Sadly i can't actually do any of the blueprints they'd be used for because i'm missing other stuff and the wiki says they get deleted in 2 days. Guess there's no other use for them?

i always autoskip by hitting space twice and i've run into a few silly glitches but nothing mission breaking yet. Do missions - infinite ones aside - get way longer later in the game? I'd kinda bummed if my mastery test glitched out but otherwise that's like 5-10 minutes lost at most.

Today i learned that in a defense mission if you vote to continue and the other 3 people vote not to, the game doesn't just finish the mission because you were outvoted. It dumps you into the next 5 waves. Immediately. On your own. Rip those 5 argons and that blueprint drop. RoadCrewWorker fucked around with this message at 03:51 on Nov 18, 2018 |

How much of the game is actually exclusively locked behind the clan research stuff? Does sharing that stuff just speed things up or is the only other way to get all that stuff to whale it up in that platshop? I'm very much enjoying the pace and goals of the early game, so i'm shying away from dropping into groups of long term players who'd just skip/fast forward me a ton with gifts of stuff they have 50000 units of just collecting dust. Besides plastids. Plastids can go gently caress themselves RoadCrewWorker fucked around with this message at 12:00 on Nov 18, 2018 |

I mean the game dropped 2 aura mods for me and i was pretty happy because they gave me more capacity but then i read the wiki comments and apparently i've brought great shame on me and my family and the family dog and all my teammates secretly hated me and were making rude jokes about me behind my back (it was the +max hp and the "make infected walk slower" one). So i'm not particularly shocked that passions can run a bit high at times. I haven't actually had a bad experience with teammates in game yet, but i'm also not anywhere near the regions where people are assuming anyone knows what the hell they're doing (or where that matters). Still, 30 hours of playing with randoms without any random racial slurs or homophobia is pretty unique.

Just had an attempt on the vor+kril fight where i dropped into a full squad wailing on kril, except his first phase weak point never stopped being invincible. Vor was nowhere to be seen. After about 5 minutes most people dropped out, and as soon as i was my own host the weakpoint actually became vulnerable and killed the annoying jerk, but apparently the game forgot that vor had died before the host migration so the scripting never opened the exit. So all i could do was abort and miss out on my cells and blueprints and consider the futility of life.  I can't imagine how obnoxious it must be to run into issues like this on actually hard endgame bosses. Tell me that isn't a common thing that happens?

Cinnamon Bear posted:I had this happen during a Sortie Assassination vs Sargus Ruk. At a certain point he never regained a vulnerable phase, and eventually the host quit out, and after the host migration me and the only other player who stuck around were finally able to damage him again. Yesterday i had another mission first clip me under the ground (which /unstuck worked for at least) and then softlock on the black "mission completed" result screen for the entire 4 man squad (enemy noises were still audible in the background), with alt f4 being the only way to "proceed" after we let it sit for 5 minutes. I don't even know if it credited us with the rewards or not. I guess it's not worth fretting over two 10 minute missions among hundreds, but it leaves a little bit of a bad taste in my mouth.

I max-ed my mk1 rifle and staff and didn't run into too many problems but the gamefeel improved dramatically once i got my hands on shotguns, magnum-style handcannons or bows - granted, that's probably a question of personal preference. The atomos feels pretty hilarious as well, but man does it cause a visual mess. The only plat i've spent so far was on saturated colors (extremely important for goofy colorschemes), a tremendously stupid looking cape (the most expensive and also unnecessary thing) and a bunch of weapon and frame slots. The latter was actually the only reasonable purchase, and i could've cut down on that if didn't build every frame blueprint the moment i get it and just sold maxed weapons that i didn't enjoy at all instead of hoarding them. I've actually crafted more potatoes than i've used so far because i don't even have the (maxed out) mods to make use of double capacity for most things. I'm also considering going for the immortal skin pack once i've got most of the frames in it covered, but i really wish there was a way to previous those skins with custom colorschemes.

DoombatINC posted:If you go to your frame's appearance tab, you can select a custom skin without buying it and it'll be shown in your frame's current colors. If you want to see what a different color scheme would look like, you have to back out of the skin menu and change them on your frame, then go back into the skin menu - which is inelegant, but at least possible.

Just ran into my first Archwing "pursuit" mission and that might be my most hated mission type to solo by about 15000 miles. The target ships weakpoint glitched through rocks constantly, despite "disabling the engines" it still kept going faster than my regular movement, and the mission eventually failed because the ship flew beyond the level border, causing me a game over for "abandoning the target" as it was pushing me along. Which is odd because i've actually really enjoyed the archwing mission types so far, for how weirdly bolted on and half baked that gamemode feels.

I think i just gave up trying to be smart and deliberate and excal blade ulted them whenever i couldn't outrun them, which must have punch through or somehow hit some of the vulnerable hitboxes from most angles just from mashing E. On other frames i just pray whatever CC i have works on them (and hope someone else's does when that's not the case).
