    We need a ranged infested that is more threatening than Crawlers.

    Use one part of the Lephantis boss for inspiration and have it spit those thorns that explode and leave a toxic cloud behind.

    Or something.

    Right now Infested are entirely non-threatening aside from some ancients at absurdly high levels.

    I hope that they have some sort of battojutsu/Iaijutsu bonus on Longswords, giving them either a quicker draw or some kind of damage bonus/cool combo when drawing your blade. Because as I see it that's the big advantage of a sword compared to say...a massive twohander or a polearm.

    Like this...

    Well, Mags strength isn't that her powers are good against Ospreys. It's that they're good against all other types of corpus.

    So is Stalks-Mcgee designed to come in at weird times during defense? I was fiddling around with a new weapon in the Mercury defense when stalker triggered. There was only one enemy left in the wave, and this enemy happened to be a butcher, so I figured I'd let him live while I dealt with senpai. By this point, the lights had already flickered twice, so I sat around waiting for him to trigger.

    It was a good 20-30 seconds that I waited. I would've waited longer, but I apparently underestimated the butcher's incompetence, since he somehow managed to die on his own (I guess he fell down the hole or something. That or committed suicide out of shame). So of course, stalks didn't appear until I was knee-deep in more grineer.

    As if to prove this train of thought, he came again while I was doing a kappa run, and this time he didn't take nearly as long to pop up.

    Stalks, why u do dis.

    Despite what the devs have said, the moment that Stalks-McGee loves the most is when you're in the "Take your loot or keep fighting" menu.

    Nope, it highlights resource drops on the minimap (not in the main view) with the same icon as breakable containers! Love it on my farming builds :)

    Good to know, I guess I just need to upgrade my Thief's Wit so it goes out further than 5 feet.

    Ohhh yes, I'm well aware of this. That's exactly what the bastard did last time he appeared in a defense. One of the few times I actually yelled "Bullshit!" Really wish you were invincible during that period, or that it would at least instantly end once everyone's made a choice.

    Is Vauban fun to play? His abilities seem so passive and I tend to prefer a more aggressive play style.

    Though I have heard he's really useful for tougher runs.

    I need to know if he's one of those things I should to drunkenly trade for (because I seem to do all of my trading after I've been drinking...).

    He wears clownshoes. That counts as fun, right?

    As for his playingstyle. It's pretty defensive. Toss out traps, wait in ambush, bounce people into huge pits ("friends" and foes!), drop a vortex bomb when things get hairy.
    Against Infested he's a Tower of Power. Against anything else "Find me a chokepoint, and I shall hold it against an army". To their advantage Bastille and Bounce don't care about how hitpoints the enemy have or how much damage they deal, so regardless of how powerful the enemy is they will work the same. Bastille is also Nekros best friend (Put it down in a chokehold. Collect 20 or so enemies. Torch them with a flame thrower or with something high-explosive. Desecrate).

    And with enough energy mods you can toss Teslas around like cheap candy, overcoming their low damage and fire rate with sheer numbers that drop waves of enemies instantly.

    Melee did look pretty darn cool. Not sure when you will be able to pull off those combos though if your not solo though. It's already fairly easy for nuke spec aoe's and crazy spec guns to kill everything at a glance on anything under tower 3.

    The big event reward mods don't have duplicates. However, with a total revamp of the melee system, I would not be surprised if DE introduces a variety of more mundane melee mods to the regular drop tables (in a fashion similar to how all those poison damage mods were introduced in damage 2.0).


    In that scenario, I'm sure most clan members would be happy to hand out duplicates of the common/uncommon melee 2.0 mods. That could help you pull a melee 2.0 build together. Its not much, but it is almost like how a new player feels when trying to find serration or hornet strike for the first time. Those are auto-include mods and vets have dozens of them, but !@#$% they never seemed to drop when you were first starting out.



    Also, it is unlikely that you'll miss out on the major event reward gear forever. I believe that their policy on event weapon (vandal/wraith gear) is that it goes into a vault to potentially be re-released in a later event. Most event mods are planned to eventually be introduced into some other drop table in the game such as survival or nightmare rewards (Such as the slingstone ammo mutator mods or the arid fear mods). Rumor has it that the cicero crisis mods might find their way into something's loot table soon (which is good for me, because I missed out on the events for the poison/electric +element proc chance mods).

    This. I want a dojo bank so much. Although I mainly want it as a place to dump resources. I'm a little unversed in the research/construction systems, but I believe that I need to know when/where a new building/research project is taking place and specifically donate to that project. I would love to be able to just dump resources into a guild vault that guild officers can pull from to fund research and new construction. I'd like to go a step further and just be able to siphon a % of my resource drops straight to the guild (or at least the common/uncommon loot drops).

    Sorry for the double post, but after running Phobos several times to get all the Nyx blueprints, I have to ask a question:

    Is there any reason, whatsoever, to do an assassination mission with a group, only to run ahead of that group, kill the boss before anyone else in the group can get to it, then head for extraction and wait there until the next fastest person shows up and the end mission timer hits 0, other than "I'm too fucking lazy to turn on solo mode?"

    Think I saw Phobos alive 3 times, and only twice was it because the group stayed together.

    I honestly don't think people run Phorid for Nyx but for the 3/5 run rewards. But hell the most fun about it is when Phobos mans up and goes apeshit on those running ahead!

    Edit: as spectrum said corrected Phobos to Phorid!

    You guys mean Phorid, right?

    And yeah, I think most people are running it solely to get credit on the Invasion. Conveniently, this does mean that Nyx is pretty easy to get even with bad gear, even if on the rare occasions you are super slow you might miss the mod/resource drop.
