A friend mentioned that the seasonal tokens were being rolled over to next season. Is that correct? The Shamrock Reclaimer seems kinda neat, but I'd bank my coin if there's a summer event on the horizon.

Shamrock reclaimer looks like a Southie pimp with no self awareness and it rules.

He's kinda mediocre though. He really needs an extra charge after 45-50 kills I think.

I'm back to enjoying PvE a little bit, but only if I have people to play with. The new QoL changes are really good and they're just handing out Vbucks, experience, and Weapon Schematics compared to what we ground for. Perks are better too.

New horde map is fun as well, I had a really good time double jumping from base to base to take care of the idiots I was playing with.

Hows Save the World these days? I played a game yesterday and it looks like sprinting doesn't cost energy anymore and materials and items stack a lot higher now, both quality of life changes that are pretty awesome. Have they done anything else pretty noticeable?

Basically everything is better, you get more of everything at all points, and it no longer freezes randomly.

Way more XP of every kind, more Vbucks, more materials from farming, etc.

I do the most or about half damage. I just run dragon ninja/UAH and refuse to do anything on the base except put the bare bones metal structure. Almost always people will upgrade the metal or put traps down.

Hey Seditiar, I just got a Siegebreaker with +25 magazine, +49 crit chance, +20 damage, and +26.7 headshot damage.

That should be enough damage to be as good as energy, right?

Opened my entire stock of Troll Llamas from that one patch. Got my first mythic hero. Then my second and third. Ninja, Constructor and Ninja. :suicide:

E: Not that any mythic heroes are better than the best legendary ones in their respective slots, but still. Except arguably Mega Base.

And like 10 mythic survivor leads, but none I could use.

PVE is much, much better than it used to be but there isn't any point to go past Canny.

They give you like 3-4x everything that they used to, you can buy amazing weapons and heroes in the store for free gold, and you can also upgrade and reroll perks

There's pretty much no better time to get into the PVE, that's for sure. Compared to the Warframe lite grind of a year ago it positively showers you in weapons, heroes, and experience.

My Harvester wrecks everything now so I'm pretty much done for the classes I wanted to have. I don't see much point in making a Shotgun Raider set up since it's going to function so much like my Ranger except slower.

Maybe not, it occurs to me that you may have been reading about the pl128 challenge where you have to survive 30 waves. I think you get a banner and some tickets for that. The Ice Queen one is the weekly challenge that you only have to survive 6 waves at any pl to get. She's a Striker AC in a custom skin but I keep hearing that she's supposed to get a custom move in the future. The Ice King is a constructor and he's supposed to get a custom move at some point too. Take that with a grain of salt because it's all internet rumors.

All the new non-base game characters (Steel Wool, Krampus, Cloaked Star, Ice Duo) will supposedly be reworked with the hero update.

Burn Bright was a nightmarishly hard challenge at level 100. Six waves of the new round is simple at 100 and takes a pretty good team at level 128.

Just figure out where the bacon farm is, make trap tunnels, build a six or maybe seven high lobber shield by wave 4. Run a Powerbase Knox with recycling.

Lobbers shield will need repairs because if your base sticks out from underneath it they will throw into your shield to get at that part and then they will start raining death on your main base once they get through that.

What's your Epic? Also I don't trap out SSD's unless someone gives me the materials, can't afford all that metal and herbs. I help out a lot of people with those since there's nothing else to do but each one invariably needs gas traps, wall launchers and floor spikes.

Other than that I'd be happy to.

Still working through canny.

Should be fairly straightforward. The last parts of canny can be done with a few gas traps and two Constructor Controllers. If you want to save a bunch of materials level up a Controller Harper or Hazard the 13th to 30 or 40 tonight and I'll get at you tomorrow. Also, do some farming because you'll have to do Canny 8 9 10, Launch the Rocket, and Twine 1 + 2 in very short order.

Ah that's alright. 30 is good, most SSD's can be trivialized by cycling decoys. You can have one up at all times. Saves a HUGE amount of materials but it's not exactly compelling gameplay.

Save the World is dead. Hero rework basically made everything weaker and harder to do.

Now all the heroes are crappy and middling.

I'm not joking either. Every single class except Ninjas got much weaker. It is basically a smokescreen for across the board nerfs.

Kneecapper and debilitating shots are gone, Make it rain is half as effective, anti material charge is useless except on one build, Decoy is useless now, Bullrush does less damage, there is no reduction in building cost, Constructors can't have large bases, Machinist doesn't increase damage for traps, you can't buff your abilities with Shuriken Master etc, grenades are nerfed.

Save the World has killed my desire to play coop games in general in any genre.

So many bad experiences with greed people, stupid people, lazy people, ... Battle Royale have not created the problem, it existed already, but made it even worse. Also since is a popular game among kids, some of the people are not ... evil.. they just don't know better.. yet.

Is too bad I don't like Dungeon Heroes 2. Dungeon Heroes 1 was the oposite of Save the World, with DH1 it was possible to setup the defenses, then chill with people, chat, no player was a dead weight for the team, no trolling... so sweet a game. Save the World could have been that, but the devs have never addressed the core problems with the game economy being easily abused by lazy people making life worse for people that want to play, have fun, and help other people.

You don't even know what they did with this update lol. It's so bad.

I guess I'm the only one really enjoying the new StW loadout system. It may be because I have over a year's worth of legendary/mythic heroes and all 5 slots open, but if anything it's opened up waaay more options for me than it's closed.

Also I'm starting the grind to open up Twine Peaks; if anyone needs help with previous chapters ping me. My schedule is wonky but I'll figure something out.

Almost everything you had before was more powerful and unique.
