  1. I've been using the 8bitdo pro as well for mobile gaming, does your model lack the switch on the back? As it can set the controller to either Xbox, NSW, Android, or one other that I can't remember; which, could help. When it doesn't work, you can also use the official 8bitdo App called "Ultimate Software" that allows for buttons to be re-mapped with up to 4 profiles to pre-configure. It's how I customize Dead Cells, Streets of Rage 4, and random emulation on my Samsung.
  2. Just adding my two cents as well, I'd obtain the mods in an order of priority: Hunters Munitions > Galvanjzed Chamber > Primary Merciless > Galvanized Aptitude. See if you can get Hunters Munitions from either the occasional Ghoul Purge event or trade chat, as that is just going to make everything a whole lot easier. With your standard mods of Serration, Points Strike, Vital Sense, and Elemental combos (pref. 60 60 status mods) you should be set to tackle Arbitrations before considering SP, with Galv Chamber being the most bang for your buck. Though it is in my personal opinion to save Galvanized Aptitude as your final purchase much later on as it only provides a +240% damage bonus for the Ignis specifically. If it was an IPS weapon I wouldn't hesitate to push Aptitude as mandatory. Serrations 165% damage boost will suffice with a 1.3x Bane to bring it up to ~214% direct damage, and provides an additional 30% boost to your DoT damage from double dipping, which should suffice for starting out on SP. Next you should opt for getting a full set of SP arcanes, as they're just great all round. Merciless will provide you a 360% boost to base damage, which will give you the option to drop Serration for other mods. Once you're at this point, it would be a perfect opportunity to justify getting Galvanized Aptitude for your Serration replacement! ...personal opinion though, with a standard viral heat slash build, I'd consider dropping Galvanized Aptitude for a Primed Bane that late into the game. With Aptitude and Merciless, I'd be looking at 600% base damage; but, I could opt for the lower 558% base damage with Merciless and Primed Bane of Grineer. Yes it is a 42% loss off the top, (or overall 7% loss in dps) but Heat and Slash double dip on faction damage by boosting your DoT effects by another 1.5x, theoretically resulting in upwards of 900% damage on your DoT, effectively boosting your dps output via backloading it onto Slash and Heat ticks.
  3. Personally, I'm all for Eclipse being a toggle even with a nerf to accompany it. In nearly all of my builds, I'm never honestly lacking in offensive options and usually prefer Roar for status damage. Though when it comes to defensive helminth options, there isn't enough. I'd like to use Eclipse as a defensive option ever since Heart of Deimos, but it has never been consistent enough both on and off Mirage. We do have Parasitic Armor to boost armor at the cost of shield gating, Rebuild Shields / Pillage now that shields are beefier, and Nullstar for damage reduction that diminishes in close proximity to enemies. Even if Eclipse gets a cap on its DR, I'd honestly pick it for squishier frames like Banshee to be paired with Arcane Guardian / Aegis, as they usually have damage in spades but completely lack in survivability. (That, and I have grown to hate Gloom when ability range is a factor.)
  4. If I recall correctly, Hydroid and Valkyr Prime were supposedly the last prime trailers of their kind, both having significant production delays. Chroma, Garuda, and Harrow came after, and coincidentally fell into the gap years; before, everything began to resume with Octavia Prime as a half story teaser half gameplay showcase. I'm not entirely sure who is at the helm for the current gen trailers, but there was something magical about Minki and Geoff's tenure, breathing life into both the trailers and frames; but, this generation hypes up the primes so much better via weaving between story and showcase.
  5. Shame to see the temporary disable of cross saving, but completely understandable. Though is there any news on the Tennogen front? Since any tennogen item deleted from the act of linking accounts, causes them to remain marked as owned preventing the re-purchase of now-overwritten-owned-items. Would really love to re-purchase some of these PC-exclusive gems!
  6. Coupons are handled differently on the NSW. On PC it's a ie 50% discount on the platinum we purchase, on the NSW it's a 50% on a singular market purchase; which, results in two separate types of coupons under the same name. (Similar to how there is Platinum, Free Platinum, and NSW Platinum all under a single name.) ...though I personally wouldn't mind having the NSW coupons be unified with the standard coupon; but, I doubt it's as cut and dry in the Nintendo Eshop ecosystem.
  7. Founders items are only usable on PC, as selecting Excalibur Prime will default to your usual frame similar to subsuming to the Helminth when on console. Ie. My Excal Prime automatically swaps to Nidus on NSW as well, but on PC there's no issue and loads Excal Prime per usual.
  8. Due to the NSW override, my past PC Tennogen Inventory was wiped but not its purchase records; which, leaves my account unable to purchase repeat items as the deleted items register as "owned" and cannot be repurchased. I forgot that I wasn't eligible due to a past migration, but I bit the bullet regardless and overwrote my 10 year old PC account with a 3-year old Switch account. I fully understand that all of my past items and progress will be lost, (Note: with apparently the exception of Founder items, thanks! really appreciate being able to keep these!) including all past tennogen purchases being lost. Well, I still wanted a few of them and was going to re-purchase a select few...and here we are: the tennogen items successfully deleted from the link, but the market listing them as owned and ineligible for repurchase.
  9. Got a few runs in, it seems like there is a weird interaction with the Derivator shield. I didn't manage to replicate the crash; amusing as it is, I kind of broke gravity when using the alt fire while aim gliding and started to float about like Zephyr...pretty sure Qorvex isn't supposed to do that.
  10. New enemies do spawn in for Zariman Exterminates, it resulted in an unfortunate bug previously where all 130+ units continously spawned in the first room for weeks a few months after the AoZ launch. Yeah, I'm assuming it's the Derivator; I haven't had another chance between work hours and the faction rotation, I'll update it when the next opportunity presents itself.
  11. Using the Grimoire alt fire in Zariman Exterminate missions causes nearly consistent crashes; especially in high density encounters. (Possibly an interaction with one of the Zariman Exclusive Corpus units?) When fighting the Grineer on the Zariman, the Grimoire performance seems to be stable in comparison. The crash doesn't seem to occur in the labs or Sedna either from the past 3 hours, but specifically Corpus in the Zariman have caused 2 back to back crashes in under 20 minutes. I've tried to crash the mission with exclusive use of the primary fire under standard-play and mass grouping, and have failed to recreate the crash for 4 missions without the use of the alt fire.
  12. If I remember correctly, Guild Wars 2 had an interesting approach to "Story Skips." They didn't necessarily sell skips in the traditional sense for cash currency, but had sold the new content as "Episodes" for players that hadn't met the pre-requisites; which, in turn bypassed all the required content...though considering how Warframe is setup with Railjack, Necramechs, Transference etc, this could become unmanageable when it comes to determining what to include for the Episodic-release-format.
  13. I've found that in general, adaptation usually isn't worth taking in Archon Hunts at times, as there will be windows where it isn't up for the giant Narmar balls. Even with Gara at 1k Armor, (for the random moments where both Splinter Storm and/or Parasitic Armor expire at an inopportune time) 1300 hp, Splinter Storm, 200% strength, max shields, and Parasitic Armor, the ball will practically knock me on my ass the vast majority of the time. Inaros though? I don't think he is capable of bringing the raw EHP to face tank the absurd value the ball hits for...maybe with Null Star, it should be possible to eat it with some beefiness to spare?
  14. Honestly, there's two options: As mentioned, a merger is a possibility; which, I remember seeing a tweet from years ago via DE, asking if tennogen items were duplicated in a theoretical merger, how would the twitter community in question prefer to handle it. ...though it's been years since I've last seen it ever mentioned, so I'm assuming it fell through the cracks logistically. More likely than not, we won't see an account merging event considering the complete silence on the subject. Then again, I assumed the same for Drifter conversions of Operator outfits after nearly a year of silence from the devstreams; but, they've been rolling it out progressively. So who knows, DE will surprise us regardless of our predictions. Edit: The more I think about it, the more I get the feeling that the merger idea may have been replaced by a Legacy System. From a legal standpoint, accounts sharing content would be a massive mess to untangle, so maybe we will see rewards for "linking" accounts similar to how Amazon and Twitch can be linked to out existing accounts...not a bad idea if that's the option they've chosen, and could be interesting.
  15. From what hasn't been mentioned, there is also Gauss the Saint of Altra, our forgotten Voruna, ans our chonky boy Grendal; all of which, have Levarians and are also incredibly functional frames even in SP. Gauss having quelled an Orokin Insurgency, being tasked with recapturing the Orokin Fortress Altra, which not even the Dax could break past the initial line of defense as he literally outran all of the artillery the fortress had to offer. Voruna, who lost her entire pack in the fall of the Orokin Empire, becoming something more via a peculiar liquid. This, is one story that should be viewed in the Leverian. Then our favorite sumo, Grendel...who hunted down the surviving Orokin such as a specific Orokin Exexutor known for his gluttony, and delivered a poetic sentence for his crimes.
