I got Booben a long time ago, but with today's alert I now have a full spare set of parts, just in case DE decides to use them one day (how hard would you rage if Booben Prime required all of the regular parts as well?). I keep a spare Oberon set for the same reason.

She just joined a match with me in progress, and the first time I killed her was with radial javelin. We killed each other quite a few times. This is the first time I can ever recall playing with a dev, in any game. Pretty good match, but my team lost.
BTW, how do you take screenshots? Print screen didn't work for me.

As I said earlier, it's not a matter of skill. You can copter through the map faster than any weapon can even strip your shields. That certainly qualifies as broken. And don't try to tell me that the defenders can just copter just as fast after them. You can't shoot while coptering, and when you stop to shoot they'll be ou of your LOS before you deal any real damage.Just call it how it is - some don´t like the movement system based on their personal perference but don´t obfuscate your subjective opinion by claiming that the movement system is broken. It isn´t - some simply can´t or don´t want to deal with it while others enjoy it.
I haven't complained too much for two reasons: 1, the teams usually have each other's cephalon at the same time, and 2, half the matches I play glitch out so it ends up being a deathmatch until the timer runs out, so it doesn't matter.
-
I barely noticed the difference. It's still entirely possible to copter, directional melee, and wallrun-catapult yourself from one end of the map to another before the opposing team can target you. It's not a matter of skill; you can get away around a corner faster than any weapon can deal enough damage to take even half of your shields.
-
A lot of people have requested an Orokin palette, and it's finally here. Has anyone used it yet? I've been using the Shamrock palette for a while for my gold accents. Are the Orokin golds better?
-
You could also make the case Nyx Prime's head was originally Nekros Prime's Thigh :p
But no, it's actually Volt Prime.
Pretty sure the new Prime is Voltaubros. He's an engineer that raises the dead and uses their ghosts to deploy various types of shields and traps.
-
Because heavy weapons with 540 ammo was perfectly fine.
Give me 1 000 000 ammo for my Boltor Prime, because of balance.
So the only option was to reduce it down to 20? They over-corrected. Somewhere between 50 to 75 rounds would be a good balance.
Also, I don't see anyone complaining about the Opticor having 540 rifle ammo. It has more in common with bows and launchers than with a conventional rifle. Every other weapon with that much damage per shot has significant ammo restrictions, no matter what other shortcomings it may have.
-
Probably because nobody uses them anymore. Except for the rare Torid doing area of denials on defence objectives, I never see launchers. I haven't seen a Penta in months, and it used to be king of the power weapons.Nah. Clearly everything's fine with them. Because we haven't been getting 5 threads everyday about how the nerf ruined everything. (If you recall, back when they had effectively unlimited ammo people complained about it constantly)

Stuff that is long overdue:
Aklex
Bolto/Akbolto
Kestrel
Fragor
Galatine
a whole bunch of melee weapons most people don't care about but need some love
Stuff I just really want:
Attica
Akvasto
Magnus/Akmagnus
Kronen
Sybaris
Tiberon

Probably a crash. I remember doing 12 waves of archwing interception on Earth and the game crashed and disconnected everyone at the exact moment the extract/fight screen showed up.

I'm pretty sure this vault thing is just temporary. DE has plans for "blowing up" the Void and scattering prime parts around the solar system. There's zero chance of that happening when U16/the new PA launches, so this is probably just a temporary measure. If they're blowing up the Void, there's no point in putting effort into adding Volt Prime and the new weapons into the existing drop tables, so instead they're opting for a direct replacement of Frost/Latron/Reaper parts, stuff which is easy to get and has been around so long that almost everyone has them. Any other scenario seems highly unlikely to me.

No, we're getting Volt Prime. Unless you mean the prime that will follow him. People said we were getting Nyx based on the video quotes, but it was actually Loki. And then Nyx followed him. So DE might be trying to hint that Vauban will follow Volt.
-
Already answered:
Those that have Frost Prime, Latron Prime and Reaper Prime Parts in their inventory won't lose them, and you can still craft and trade parts with other players.
-
I would gladly build a spare Latron Prime to build a Tiberon Prime. Make the Tiberon Prime BP an Orokin Lab research item. You need Latron Prime, a forma or two, and some other resources (but please, not ten more o cells).
-
Honestly. . . doesn't sound very good. Farm parts for ducats that you then use to buy different parts? May as well just add the old prime stuff as pre-built items in the market and charge plat. Even though people use trade chat to basically buy prime stuff, I still don't think having a feature to buy prime stuff like this is a good idea.
-
OK, question, and this is an honest one.
I have the Reaper's BP, blade, and handle.
Are those going away too?
Devs said they aren't in the announcement thread. You can still build or trade your parts; you just can't acquire new ones.
-
I don't get all the people saying Paracyst. With the right elementals and a max rank multishot, it's a very respectable burst rifle. It also has a large mag, quick reload, and very good accuracy considering its lack of aiming ability. The alt-fire harpoon also has a lot of utility.
On the other hand, I hated the Mutalist Quanta because it obscured my vision. Between the spinning arms and the spray of energy, I couldn't tell if I was actually hitting anyone.
-
OMG I'm so excited. Yes.
-
He should be White and Gold. All of the Frames that have been a Starter Frame are White and Gold.
What? All of the primes so far have been blue with black chrome bling.
-
Honestly, some days I just don't understand this community. Everyone has been complaining that they want the stuff on rotation, and now that they get it they complain about that too. There's three things on rotation to keep people happy who didn't get it the first time, and a new skin so there's something for the up-to-date people. Plus gives a lot of us some time to stock up on ducats and credits.
The way things are going, all of the leaked stuff we're waiting on will show up as the new extra alongside the rest of the rotation.
-
An Osprey or Osprey-like skin seems like a possibility for Ictus. Though I would really like it if they made some universal sentinel skins. I wish my Shade could wear the Para or Carabus skins.
-
Now that Archwing is being expanded into Sharkwing, we have both a large addition to this new gamemode, as well as a new tileset to play it on. Unfortunately that's a prime opportunity to introduce a new resource. Rare or hard-to-obtain resource that only drops from Sharkwing areas? I can already imagine the rage.
Do you think it will happen? Has been there any comments by DE to that effect that I've missed? What do you think such a resource could be?

Newer players get drawn to Rhino because he's a damage dealer and taker. His 1 and 4 are damage-dealers, with 4 also having some limited CC if you mod for duration. His 2 makes you invulnerable to knockdowns from Moas, laser barriers, Scorpions, as well as status effects. At lower levels, you can keep it up indefinitely with little effort. His only "team" skill is Roar, which very few if any people ever use.
Loki, on the other hand, does not deal damage. None of his abilities can directly kill things. His powers are much more tactical oriented. Decoy is great when placed properly to divert attention from defence objectives or to draw in enemies for easier killing. Disarm works the same whether enemies are lvl 1 or lvl 100; at high level content (i.e. T4) the damage-based powers drop off, while CC scales endlessly. Switch Teleport is great for getting teammates out of the middle of crowds when they get downed, or for putting enemies in different locations (like Raptor-in-a-box). When used in conjuction with Decoy you can teleport yourself quickly to otherwise difficult to access areas. Invisibility is admittedly very easy to cheese, especially thanks to that stealth bonus, but can also allow Loki to disarm, teleport, revive, and move around unnoticed.
Loki is also very fragile compared to Rhino, so he's more punishing when you rush into a crowd and get surrounded. All that being said, the skill difference--real or imagined--isn't that big. I think Rhino is just easier to pick up and play for newbies, and his powers are more straightforward in their uses.

Oceanum on Pluto is the best I've found so far. Every time you hack a data vault, it seems to spawn another Ambulas as long as you hit a new open-air tile. Pretty consistently getting 3 per run. Pretty quick and there's the nice bonus of the reward caches.
