Nalin touched on this, but melee is way OP. On my raptor it is way easier to just melee. Backstabs do more damage than headshots with the melee perks. Guess I'll just do that until my firecat has modules to make it worth while...

We should probably keep it in the OP or something.

I've got purple level 40 in Bio-Crossbows, Recluse Abilities, and Air Sprint Cores. Probably doing Biotech HKMs, Dragonfly abilities and Bio-Rifles next if nobody else is going for those.

I've got all modules across the top and down the right. Also have firecat abilities and secondary weapons. Waiting to see what to do next though. I'll probably research raptor next.

If anyone with a frame they haven't maxed is close to level 39, let me know. There may still be a bug that relogging after hitting 39 dings you to 40. I'm looking for someone who can verify whether that does or does not still happen.

I just got my recluse to 39 like 2 hours ago..... and while typing this it glitched to 40....

Also, it seems like the fastest way to level is to do high level missions and then just switch frames before it finishes. you just have to have a frame that's 40 already.

Don't know about your servers but that's what the European ones are like. Only you can't take poo poo while they sleep because they either have people pulling shifts and waking up the others when poo poo goes down, don't sleep at all or share accounts. It's always the same bunch of guys and one of them is always there.

that is hilarious. On the american servers, at least when i checked it out, it was basically a wasteland. I took two towers, and only saw a single enemy dragonfly. I then left because it wasn't very fun... i think that was the middle of the day on saturday.

So the vendor that sells level 40 modules for pilot tokens is a the kanaloa research station. accidentally stumbled upon him, and now my Raptor power rating is 990 something. :smug: now time to finish up the epics on my firecat.

Applied to the goon2 army in game. Do people in the army do a lot of group raids and activity, or is it mostly solo?

mostly solo or small groups so far. we haven't organized too much yet because the game just released with actual content. I'm sure as there are more members getting maxed we'll group up more for pvp and raids.

I hope this is rectified, then.
Not being able to craft more than half of the viable mods is a bit of a punch in the dick.

Yup, crafting is a joke at the moment. In order to craft 1 epic item you need to salvage at least 2 other epic items, plus farming resources, and salvaging other rare/uncommon items. I think all of crafting will have to be rectified to make it even remotely worthwhile. I'm sad I spent so much Crystite back into research expecting crafting to be similar to pre-patch.

That is somewhat unfortunate as in the past I never really liked playing as a firecat, and I assume I would need to grind them a bunch to be able to fit those modules with the new system, right?

Downloaded the game after finding it on a "20 best free games" so far its kept my interest and the frame choices are enticing, chilling in the CTS mumble but I dont think anyone is around tonight, is the Goon presence that dead or just an off night? Midnight in Florida most popular games Goons are running rampant. I just hit level 7 and not really sure if I should hit the dropship to the next level or grind a bit more.

I never get on mumble because I hate talking. But I and several other goons play every day.

For a Chosen glider it looks suspiciously like something that they planned to sell for Halloween but decided to add it to this thing so that people would actually play the event. Also I have an extra Electron license I want to get rid of.

It looks like crap. I thought it would look on par with the cobalt phoenix and celestial wings, but it looks like someone just said "let's use bones and lots of transparency." Kind of disappointed with them. Even the cherub wings look better.

So I have a few hundred thousand crystite, about 100,000 research points, and some research time. I'm unlocking the white level abilities and such that I know I'll want to build.

It looks like I can only get the components to craft this stuff out of the appropriate areas, though. So I'll have to be in Sertao or whatever in the level 32-36 areas to get the drops I need?

I have a new friend starting so I'd like to be able to profit off of helping him out and showing him the game. I know I could run a new frame with him but I'd like to continue with my Bastion. It looks like I can thump in the newbie areas to at least gather some bio materials?

Or should I just forget about trying to get anything out of any zones that aren't around my level?

You'll have to buy the mats or farm them in the lower level areas. You could also get your friend to send you the mats he gets.

A few questions, i I may:

1. What's Dark Crystite and its variants good for?

2. Is there a practical difference between the various bikes in the shop? They're all listed as being great at everything, but the costs differ wildly.

3. Is there anything else that can help me to get around quickly? I'm mostly using the fast-travel mod, the basic bike and the VIP glider.

4. What's the goon presence like during European evenings? This thread seems kind of quiet.

1. It was used to push back the melding in DT. It will probably be used for that again in the future as well as (speculation) summoning open world bosses.

2. They look different and are different rarities. Not all bikes are the same though. some are slightly faster and have less health.

3. If you're using the level 25 bike then upgrading your bike is a huge improvement. Otherwise no, gliders are great, especially as an assault with after burner.

4. US East is a little goon thin, so I assume Europe would be too. They are probably playing ArcheAge.

Does the Recluse's Poison damage healing perk apply to weaponry? Was thinking of testing that out with my secondary or something. So far though, damage hasn't really been an issue

I'm almost certain it does. I haven't played recluse in a while to confirm, but recently when I played DFly it was working for the bio-rifle.

Oh I knew that, I meant to like, an assault rifle with a poison element.

Combined with the Recluse perk, it means I could use my generally unused AR for emergency heals if it comes down to it.

So far though, survivability hasn't really been an issue. I went with Rhino and it's great

I think the perk you are thinking of is the biotech only perk. You wouldn't be able to use it on another archetype.

A "Repeat Job" button will appear on Job Boards that, when clicked, will cause any finished job to repeat itself. You can also use the following slash commands: /stopjob, /restartjob, /repeatjob.

Arena PvP is being worked on. I don't know if it will be ready anytime soon, but everything I hear says that they are working on it. It will most likely launch with TDM, Harvester (Conquest), and Jet Ball.

PvP 2017. Mark your calendars. I just hope Jetball isn't quite so "kill the other team then score". Otherwise I liked PvP before they took it out. The pool of players was just a little small and matches were often one-sided.

Also, they should up the percbooste boost from maxed frames. 10% is nice but I think 20 would be much more enticing for new players. The story is only so deep and there are 16 frames to max.
