  1. Personally I don't really mind especially since I'm only on day 300+ but when I got my Zenistar it did felt special because I've been looking forward to it for a long time. I think with the future changes it just makes getting the weapons trivial and looses the shine of weapons like that sigma shield and sword weapon something2 weapon.

    Its neat imo that some things in game are locked like this rather than everything being available if you have the plats for it especially when almost everything else can be bought already with plat and plat is soo easy to farm. Just saying its like getting your Christmas present in June. Kinda takes the gloss out of the whole Christmas shazaam. 

    Note : Didn't read the OP but just assumed the content. 

    On topic : Always imagined Lucy Lawless and Kevin Sorbo (Hercules tv series guy) should bang.  

     

  2. Just do pub and get better in the game slowly until you can carry yourself. Bring a support rhino or Inaros with covert lethality so you can survive most of the things in a party while also occasionally roar and stomp and throw sand for CC, or buff your team rather than be a useless invisible baggage. Its ok to die in game. Just avoid the ones that can make the run fail if you're still learning like spy.

  3. Limbo + some sort of frame that can AOE like Saryn, Banshee or Mesa.

    Limbo can do most missions well like defense and mobile defense, can banish the rescue vip guy,  but to efficiently kill things needs an AOE frame that doesnt depend on weapons so its not effected much by Limbos Cataclysm. Mesa is a very good option imo as shes tanky so Limbo can be in rift without worry of his partner, good against bosses, and just all around killing potential. Saryn is about better apart from the boss killing part.

     

  4. Yup. Me spamming the door panel waiting for someone to press the other one. Looking for random rooms hoping to spawn emo guy with people at the exit starting the countdown. Some kid calling me useless for a MR21 player eventhough he mistook me for a different guy and when I had the most kills and damage dealt + being Khora using her 2 to basically make the acolyte a ragdoll.

    So far yeah.. its fun so far. Not sarcastically fun but actual fun. I don't do pubs often but its much more amusing.

  5. Oberon is probably a good start. But I do recommend you focus on your mods first as a priority. Don't go wasting 100p you somehow farmed on buying Mirage just later to not being usable because you don't have an Orokin Catalyst on it or no good mods to use on a frame.

    S#&$ mods makes any frame and weapon feel useless. You'll always feel useless until you have build your base mods to a respectable level.

    Personally I recommend you look at some Volt builds, then buy and farm the ones you can before slowly maxing them. Volts a very good frame to use for farming even at higher levels. 

  6. Players capabilities are subjective. So while anyone can quote a time when they saw a loki mess up or a Saryn being useless in ESO, the thing is if the variables on the player sides are fair, same player, knowledge, ping, when you try to compare just purely based of the frames, some meta frames are just the better, safer, choice.

    A bad loki can mess up any spy vault but an equally bad ember will be worst in said spy vault. A great loki when going against a great ember player in a spy vault should be clear whos the safer bet. A great group of non meta frames can probably do good in eidolon but an equally great experienced group of meta frames will almost surely do better. 

    If the argument is can non meta frames get the job done obviously yes. Better than the frames the contents made for? most probably not. 

  7. You can't. Sometimes experienced players are playing with a kid on his lap, or a phone, or had a bad day.

    Sometimes MR25 just had a kid and his wife is in the hospital and is in labour but you need to farm spring-onion chamber from emo stalker so it might get distracting. 

    Sometimes its just ridiculous ping.

    Sometimes its a low MR with low selfesteem so he tries to compensate his insecurities by trying too hard and think it proves anything that he has the most kills.

    Too many reasons but in the end if you take enjoyment in it and it fits your narative do enjoy it.

    The video showing it is great, but for the OP the reasons are also easy to explain.  The sobek has a base 5 pellet count and deals primarily impact damage.  The kohm on the other hand has 12 pellets (at full spool) and deals slash damage.  The number of pellets gets multiplied by multishot so with Hell's chamber you are looking at 11 pellets that each proc a status effect versus 26 on the Kohm.  Your riven is stupid good because it has SC *and* MS.  You have somewhere around 45 pellets from that thing.  Then the IPS damage matters because when you proc something physical, which is often, impact sucks and slash doesn't.

    I'm sure you know all that I'm just quoting you to give context.

    100% status on shotguns is super powerful but you need the right one to make it shine.  Pellet counts, damage types and things of that sort matter.  To me the sobek isn't the right option for 100% status unless you can add a +SC riven to the mix to raise the power with additional stats like multishot or damage.

    100% status is best suited for very highly level tanky single targets.  You guys are testing against 1 bombard and things like that for a reason.  That is not where the sobek wants to play.  It is a weapon that shines as a mid level room cleaner.  Acid shells makes it that.  Kill one target and that blows up additional targets in the area.  That only works if you can kill the first guy and there are other guys in the area.  Shattering justice makes it that.  The AOE proc is just like acid shells in how it functions.  Kill a bunch to fill the affinity meter and then blast everyone else.

    When you are taking a full clip to down a bombard shattering justice isn't giving you anything nor is acid shells.  You are effectively running a gun with 6 mods on it in some ways.

    I like the sobek quite a lot in sortie 1 level missions.  It starts to struggle more than I like in sortie 2 and by sortie 3 it is past it's sweet spot in terms of effectiveness and you can tell.  I'd just rather be using my kohm or even my boar prime. Of course a very good riven can change all of this.  My sobek riven isn't that good admittedly stats wise and I never have enough kuva to try and roll it into something better.

    Thanks for the knowledge. I don't know the details of it too much. Just bits and pieces. I was trying to suggest that the guy look to the Kohm for a 100% status shotgun rather than the Sobek thats why I added that part just for fun. 

  9. Did what i could since I had a Sobek riven with 130%+ Status Chance and only missing Acid Shells from your proposed build which doesn't mean much. Also used my riven to replaced Shattering Justice since I don't have that.

    Basically 100% status shreds armor faster and its most effective on heavy armored folks like Bombards and level 120+. If its the normal sorties or star chart folks there should be very little difference. 

    Added a 100% status Kohm to show why when 100% status shotguns, Kohm is being used more than other shotguns apart from Tigers Prime.

    By low i mean my current ones (Boltor, Grakata).

    Given that i'm only at Mastery 5 and the Boltor is basically the first weapon upgrade after the Braton.

    Feels odd to keep a early game weapon until the end game.

    Just cleared todays sortie (lvl 100) Sargas Ruk boss with a badly modded 2 Forma Rubico (mr5 weapon) with Split Chamber, Serration (rank 8 ), Point Strike, Vital Sense, 2x90 elemental mods build for radiation (wrong element for the boss) and a Hush mod. Which is good especially with the Physical enhancement penalty.

    Its more about the mods you put in. Some weapons are bad regardless if you have rivens for it but Hek is not one of them. Recommend you get the Rubico.

    But they're not ok with the issue at all.  Otherwise their own helpdesk page would not contain a "report AFK" option.   And in your example, there is no leeching happening at all.  That Trinity is a very active player contributing to the team giving energy with EV (which is also a move that does damage and can kill).  It's not just kill count that is needed to be a participant in a team, buffing allies / debuffing enemies are also ways to actively play the game.  The leeching that this topic is about are players who seriously do not want to play the game at all but still want their gear to level and/or want mission rewards without touching their controls.

    I wouldn't call getting 10-15 kills in 10 wave hydron as contributing especially when most of the time no one is nuking the map. Everyones using the weapon they are trying to level up. And thats just a general example. It probably depends on each definition but its just Hydron. Buffing/ debuffing is not really needed to clear it and itll go faster if we have another char actively killing rather than just staying in one spot spamming buff skills that aren't necessary. 

    If something as simple as spamming ev is considered as contribution, than the guy doing nothing is already done his contribution with more mobs spawning. Both aren't making things faster. both are just there for the affinity. 

    I also don't think going to a website, taking screenshots, uploading screenshots. doing a mini writeup, for every leecher we see in game as helping as well.

    But basically my post is just leave at 5th round and probably the leechers will find other ways to level their weapons up.  

  12. Usually I'll leave at 5th round at runs like these with Trinity that spams energy vamp and does no kills, limbos with max range thinking its helpful cause we get energy, Nyx doing her meditating S#&$. Its just effin Hydron. The developers themselves are ok with the issue so nothing much can be done but move on to the next run.

    Not going to read numerous individuals comments uning actual facts why Harrow and Equinox absolutely easy compared to Khora.  I won't repaste them since words don't seem to be your strong point.  

    A bit unnecessary don't you think since it wasn't my main point in my post? At least you justified my reasoning of ignoring it. Sure the 10 page rants from people who have the bad end of RNG is worth my time.

    Please do continue *@##$ing about the grind as i assume its your strong point.
