    Ignore it unless he steals something valuable ; if so then kill him, it's not even that tedious... People like to exaggerate.

    Your idea of tedium and mine differ quite a bit. The number of missions you need to run just to get the information to at least guess at the combination that will maybe kill the lich is such overkill it's ridiculous.

  2. I started with Mesa, RubicoP and it got kind of boring. Press 4, spin and click, everything is dead. Effective, but boring. So I switched to one of my new favorites, Mag. Never liked her until recently and figured her kit would work well and it does. I run with good ol' rad lanka (works wonders with magnetize since it is all big open areas) and a gas catchmoon kit gun/CO falcor setup. It's a ton of fun. Prior to the nerf it was a challenge to keep her alive which was half the fun, post nerf it's still great.

  3. I will concur that the first couple of days in OV were the most fun I have had in a long time simply due to that it was actually challenging and not meant for new players. The nerf took that all away. Even the highest tier bounty takes little effort and I am not one to wait around for an hour before things get challenging. Even if I was I will go into an area, not kill mobs until they drop a beacon and then the place is a ghost town for a few minutes until another wave comes in and I have to resist murdering them all so they drop another beacon. Even once there are 4 beacons, which before the nerf was a BLAST, now it's only a matter of minutes before everyone is dead and my wanted level drops back to zero. I loved the chaos.

  4. This just happened for the third time. I am hunting pobbers, I use the lure, I equip the tranquilizer gun and wait. When I go to zoom in and shoot nothing happens. I switch top the lure, nothing happens. I switch back to my weapons but my tranquilizer gun is still equipped. I can switch between weapons (while still holding my tranq) and see them switching in the UI but I cannot use them and obviously can't shoot. My only choice is to go back to Fortuna.

    On a side note, it has only happened when I finally get the rarest ones to show up. Not sure if that has anything to do with it, but worth noting.

    it seems to be but its counter intuitive tbh, i have to spend standing to gain standing so your daily cap just got reduced which i dont think is too fair 

    I keep seeing this argument, but gaining standing is only half of what they are good for. You need their broken down parts for a bunch of stuff. Plus I have been catching more than enough to max standing with no bait.

  6. I farm with Nekros and I use slash based weapons, as you do. Weapons like the Kohm have a tendency to just obliterate enemies, chopping them up real good, and it's a shotgun. So when I have a slash based bladed weapon, like my Tonbo, or everyone's favorite blender whip the Atterax, modded exclusively for Slash damage, would it not make more sense that if you one-hit that enemy, effectively doing more damage to them than they had to begin with, with a slash based weapon, that they would at least get cut in half? I have used both weapons extensively modded only for slash, the atterax with blood rush and maiming strike, and my Tonbo with a riven with insane crit chance and damage (pretty much always orange or red crits) and I would say more than half the enemies I one-hit stay whole. Complete. Not chunky in any way. It's unacceptable. I demand chunks. If I had to hit the enemy fifty times and slowly scratch them to death, fine. But when I kill a humanoid enemy with one epic slash of my blade, I expect chunks, damn it. My desecration requires it.

  7. I basically use the same build as Rsod25, but I would say Waltz is a must-have... I took it off after using it for awhile and I hated it. I got used to the mobility even if it is at half speed but the fact that with high duration and efficiency you can stay in redeemer mode and while you're not shooting the recticle grows back out, which with negative range it shrinks rather quickly. Also, Arcane Velocity x2 is amazing if you can get your hands on them.

  8. This is the route I follow and I always use archwing and always at night.... rarely ever need to disengage, and now that AW is infinite, even better. I typically stay about 30 feet in the air and watch my minimap.... I also use a sniper rifle like Rubico so I can zoom in on the area the loot shows up to verify exactly where the lil' guy is. Then I get into position and drop right down on top of him... and even if he starts to float upward you can catch him. As soon as you run the route go back to Cetus and go right back out to have them respawn.

    uhh, how can you say 250 plat is cheap 😕 

    Even if you only buy the $20 platinum pack at full price that's less than $14 for a prime frame, and one of the better ones than that. Or, you know, you could farm prime junk and mods and sell them.

  10. Bottom line, it is not meant for "younger" players. It is meant to be something you can build after working for it. I, like many others, had more than enough of those resources collecting dust including the 5 forma needed for it to reach max stats. If you think the build cost is too high, you are not ready to wield it.

    It's like anything else early on. I remember actively farming certain resources a mission at a time thinking that it was taking forever, but when I finally built that next frame or weapon it was an accomplishment. These days I have thousands if not hundreds of thousands of those resources with nothing to use them for.

    The only time I ever heard Redeemer mentioned is when it used to be able to cheese one of the stealth mastery rank tests (before DE patched it out of course).  

    I just used it on the MR19 test and killed every enemy before I left the starting platform. Ran around, popped the 6 bubbles and was done in under 5 minutes.
