Nalin posted:I added a section to the OP about Power Rating. It is a very important stat, as each point of power rating you get is +1% of your base damage from your weapon and abilities. So if you have 100 power rating, you will do +100% damage. So make sure you use those weapon modules. To expand on this a bit; you start off with a power rating of 100 at level 1. You get 5 more every level and every piece of equipment you put on has more power too. Starting at level 1 you do 100% of base damage which is... base damage. If you manage to raise your power rating to 600, you're doing 600% of base damage. Pretty easy, yeah? Power affects the damage you do with weapons and abilities as well as healing you do. It also affects your total health pool. After a bit of math, I estimate a super well geared level 40 might be able to reach 1000 power. CLAM DOWN posted:I didn't see anything in the OP about wipes, etc. I'm assuming there will be one for launch? What about ancient early beta stuff like my pumpkin and tombstone and tiki torch? Gear old enough that it came from the previous generations were either wiped or converted to the new system depending on how old it was. CY stays. Cosmetics and stuff stay. Your beans are safe. XP is safe. Your unlocks are still unlocked. That's a broad poorly worded explanation, but that's the best I can do off the top of my head. Go ahead and log in and see what you've got. There's no more planned wipes. Welcome to launch!

Sphrin posted:Beware of the Bio-crossbow's secondary fire it now leaves a poison cloud and you can seriously screw yourself up with it now, might be my low level core causing more of a problem but having 9k hp and losing 1-2k if you just touch the cloud is much more dangerous than the previous 100-300 damage from splash with no poison. Perks will be your saviour. This is the setup I'm putting in mine: 1 - Necrotic Poison: Dealing poison damage applies a necrotic poison that reduces the targets damage output. It doesn't say how much, but for one point who cares if it's only 10% since you'll be AOE spamming everything. 1 - Siphoning Unit: 10% of all damage you do heals you for that much. Super handy for AOE spam. 1 - Collateral Analytics: Reduces damage done to yourself by 40% 1 - Neutralizer: 20% poison resist 1 - Virus: 10% damage bonus with poison weapons and abilities 2 - Necrotic Bite: 10% damage bonus vs humanoid targets 5 - Thick Hide: Increase base health by 400 (and scales up with level) That's not many points at all for a huge survival boost in that frame.

Are you tired of escorting arrogant Accord fucks with two left feet who don't know how to walk in a straight line or use stairs? (I seriously couldn't get one to walk up a small hump of 3 steps) Do they constantly get distracted running after / shooting at random bugs while you scream at them to hurry their asses up and follow you? Turn that frown upside down because here at GOONCO Imports, we have the solution! /end You know that cute red panda pet they gave everyone for downtime? You know how it's bugged and has no hitbox and causes every Accord guard to stop whatever they're doing to shoot at it? I wasn't the one who thought of this but I've used it more than once since then. Every time I have an escort mission now I just whip out that pet and the guard will run his rear end wherever you want so long as he can keep shooting your pet. Combine that with a decent Bio frame like the Dragonfly and not only can you keep your escort alive, but make him move his rear end too.

Rylek posted:I can't wait to jump back into this again! The changes sound so good, and the Goon feelings seem to be positive in the thread so far. Right now that's the only way to get that vehicle. There has been no mention of it being available via other means but that's no surprise. Right now it being exclusive to the $99 pack is making them some much needed cash for launch. If they made it available via other means like the blue LGV you could make for CY, nobodys wallets would have opened. Just like the original Locust, I'm sure versions of it will feature prominently in future plans to sell red beans or other packs targeting vets before eventually being available for lots of crystite. Or, you could go to the OWPVP zone and get the 3 person version that has a machine gun turret on the back for no dollars at all! (not available outside of OWPVP)

Oh good, I thought it was just me unable to log in until I checked the official forums. Looks like it's going to be one of those nights. Oh well. I probably would have wound up thumping in Sertao for some titanium after we did the missions. I'm really excited to run the new missions with you assholes. I hope things settle down soon so we can get everyone caught up and start doing it. Power Grab is minimum level 18, Risky Business is 21, and BWA is now 24. If you're close to 24 make sure you do the first 5 storyline missions so we can get you through the others. The loot in BWA is amazing for its level.

Darksaber posted:This happens with squad thumpers sometimes. In my experience it's like a third of the time, and I'm not sure if it's intended because every time it's happened to me it's been a squad wipe. Maybe it's just in there as random chance to discourage squad thumping with less than 5? Don't know. It is intended. In my experience, it's closer to 50%. I base that on all the S3 thumpers I dropped on Copa the other night. I was leaning towards 75% Chosen wave but then it started to get normal again. I've dropped or been part of about a dozen squad thumpers recently and really like the change. The changes to difficulty and payout for squad thumpers makes way more sense now. Xavier434 posted:How do I get unstuck? Relogging did nothing. Remaking the character didn't fix it either. /stuck and then wait for five seconds without doing anything. It normally spawns you outside of the dropship when you finish the mission in the same place you were standing when you went in. Were you standing on top of something like a box? The drop ship itself? Cheston posted:How does the reputation system work? By which I mean, what is the reputation system? What are you actually boosting when you use a Reputation boost? Is it just dressing up the Voucher system? Mostly the latter but there's supposed to be an actual reputation mechanic that it uses to put you on one of the 4 factions in OWPVP. There's not a way to see what your reputations are right now that I know of. I'm glad the push back has happened. I was getting pretty bored of the small area we've been in. I hope someone's finding uranium now.

They're missing out. This means the free Baneclaw raid is available. We should get on that. Also, the next stage of the push back will never happen if people don't get out and get the infused dark crystite. Nalin, I don't have the numbers in front of me right now but if memory serves, a stock squad thumper has a higher yield than a heavy personal. It's just not useful for anything other than iron. It scales up from there.

The big reason why people are dropping squad thumpers in the newbie areas is to get a fuckload of crafting components like shells and bones. Farming level 8 guys with a level 40 frame is pretty easy. Shell fragments and bone chips are hard to find otherwise. As for the differences in the various bikes, the P1 you get from the Dredge quest has Average for all of its stats. It has a top speed of about 53 kph and handles like a pig. The one you unlock at 40 has Good for all of its stats so it is much better. Any of the bikes you buy off the Red Bean store has Excellent for the stats and are what we are used to with the Locust and all the other R-54 variants. If I had to rank performance, I'd say the P1 is 50% as good as the bean bikes. The level 40 bike (who's name eludes me) is only 75%. In my opinion, it's well worth the money to buy one of the bean bikes. Not only do you help keep the game running but you get to have the best performing bike at level 1 without having to deal with one of the most frustrating quests. Edit: This dude's going to have TMJ.

Actually, blue has +2 as well. If you wanted to make a mid level blue deployment module it may only have 9-10 power but you'll get your precious +2 without breaking the bank. Add in a blue or purple Lasting module and a hybrid blue slot that adds duration and you're in business. Since I've done that I don't feel like the Bastion is terribad anymore. As for the feeling lonely out in Copa, I completely understand. Keep in mind that Copa content can be blown through in an hour. You'll see more people when you get to Trans Hub and beyond. Things start to slow down a bit there and Trans Hub is the new hub of activity like Copa used to be. I stopped inviting passers-by into my thump groups because thumping is bugged right now. Sometimes the group members don't get rewards but you always get participation rewards if you do at least 20% of the kills/damage during the thump. Now that the squad thumpers are changed, that may alter the way random groups happen again. Like you, I remember easily getting invites during thumps way back in the day. Speaking of thumps, I checked the numbers. Stock Personal: 250 split - Iron Personal 1: 275 split - Iron and Tungsten Personal 2: 300 split - Iron, Tungsten, and Titanium Personal 3: 325 split - Iron, Tungsten, Titanium, and Uranium Stock Squad: 300 each - Iron Squad 1: 325 each - Iron, and Tungsten Squad 2: 350 each - Iron, Tungsten, and Titanium Squad 3: 375 each - Iron, Tungsten, Titanium, and Uranium

TheBlandName posted:Don't forget that bringing a thumper to 100% gives out large bonuses. A personal 3 that you and four buddies get to 100% gives 325 resources split between you all, and another 325 resources for each of you. A squad 3 that you bring to 100% gives 750 resources for each member of the squad. Yes. That's been one of the major reasons why running personal thumpers as a group was usually better than running smaller squad thumpers. The dynamic has changed again giving Mathhammer nerds another chance to play with their calculators to figure out a new efficiency chart. Also, I think I'm done with the sweep for now. I kicked and invited about 50 people. The rest of the names were either people I've talked to online today, saw online as I was doing it, have big boobs, or were so far down the list I figured they had to be new invites. As any good leader I made sure to send out invites to everyone I kicked with a friendly, heartfelt, canned copy/pasted message roughly explaining what happened. I'm also fairly sure I typed some peoples names wrong when sending out the invites so... Mission accomplished! I really hope someone makes an addon that shows who's been offline for months and allows for easy kicks / invites. Perhaps I should butter up Arkii or Hanachi again. I've asked LK for too much already.

JonusRockweller posted:Mildly humiliating but expected for non PvP perks. Got my rear end handed in Broken Peninsula a few times, being on the defensive doesn't help- Apparently hit and runs and harassing bases is fairly easy, just grab the enemy health pad, and while that's waiting for a regen fly around using their own glider. AoE and DoT seems to be king, you don't get hit by anyone much, but just the matter of getting hit once by them means you're hosed. Recluse seems to be the spray and play class, who needs to aim when you can spam out clouds every half second that cover a 3 meter area to do 30k damage over time. Ouch. Confirmed. Recluse is naaaasty. My crossbow has an AOE of almost 6 meters and does 4x more damage during the DOT stage than the initial hit. Considering how long the cloud on the floor lasts, you can specialize in area denial at the expense of having to take every perk you can to minimize your own vulnerability to self damage and poison.

Are you still not seeing the headshot damage on your Night Hawk? I play that frame a lot and know the headshot damage is there, but it's not the 200% bonus that most frames get. It was nerfed down to 30% bonus because with Ambush and other perk stacking I was regularly making GBS threads out 60k damage headshots, even while hip firing. Naturally, that was unintended so Night Hawk got brought down a peg or two. Now, who wants to do some BWA Hard farming?

Cheston posted:What are the rewards like now? Last time I did it was a few months ago, after they nerfed speedruns, but I guess speedruns aren't as much of a factor since they prevented players from deploying glider pads. The boss gives 3 things which from the two times I've done it so far have either been three purples or two purples and a blue. Good stuff so far. Unlike the level 24 version, these aren't bound to me so I expect the market to crash pretty fast on level 40 purple gear.

Sard posted:Coming back to this, and I have questions: 1: Ambush is 30%. Which healing ones? If you search on the official forums, you'll find more info. 2: Yes. 3: Yes. It's super rewarding to watch a chosen sniper take a shot at you and see the beam reach the edge of the field and then curve into the center. Larger things like plasma bolts and grenades are intermittent. 4: No. 5: Known bug. 6: There was, but I don't think there is right now. 7: I don't know who that is. 8: You're going to need to expland on that one. It looks like three separate issues. Bastion has nothing to do with energy drain, the alt fire for the sticky grenade launcher detonates the grenades, and the bastion is more turret focused than ever. Do you mean the Engineers Tesla rifle (they were switched) because if you do, the alt fire is a repair beam for turrets and such.
