Fazel412 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Pangolin (Sword) Prime? Interesting. I was half expecting Centaur Prime so that we would see the first archweapon prime, but okay. Lacera Prime continues to elude us~ Also in agreement with others regarding modular archwing. If we gain mastery by leveling these, I would at the very least hope there are better archwing maps to level them on, because Salacia, Neptune is actually a horrible place to level archwing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have multiple zaws and multiple kitguns, all strong in their own way.

Now Viral is ALL. Fix Coronaviral plz, it's hurting diversity. Except toxin, heat, magnetic, and corrosive are all great as well. Impact, cold, gas, and radiation are trash.

Impact, cold, gas, and radiation are trash. I really can't agree with magnetic being great; it's potentially weaker than before, when it was already considered one of the worst damage types. Shields are just not a relevant enough defense on enemies for a hyper specialized anti-shield element to feel like it has a place. Even putting toxin aside, shields are just generally flimsy enough to brute force through even with bad element types. This has probably been made MORE true with the level scaling changes, since even high level shields now scale significantly slower than before. If magnetic had some interaction with shield gates, that would give it some benefit for low ROF weapons, but it doesn't right now. I think the only time in my years of playing this game that I have ever thought magnetic might have been a good idea to bring was while doing an Enhanced Shield Disruption. So I think it might have that niche, but I certainly would not call it great. edit: overall I think the only damage/status types that got significantly improved with the big status rework would be... Elec and Viral, despite Viral already having been one of the best. Edited March 13, 2020 by OvisCaedo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very decent damage type against Corpus in its current state, unlike before. the damage types i listed don't have a roll in any content. not sure if upcoming impact and gas buffs will make a difference.

I did it last week after the mainline update went through before I ever set foot in Veil. Nice, wasn't aware this was changed, guess I won't completely ignore Scarlet Spear now. The "active location timer" sure sounds anti-fun. If I log on and can't participate for another hour I'm logging off and playing something else that day (hopefully I'm just misunderstanding).

Redfeather75 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) Maybe it was how it was presented, but I wasn't into the corinth prime. The fall off damage, change to manually detonate an air burst, and possible change to have to aim airbust at enemies, and possible change in magazine reload (it is so hard to tell from that stream if it is a magazine reload)... it all just doesn't feel right. I wonder if the original designer of the corinth has left. I don't know. Edited March 14, 2020 by Redfeather75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syppolina Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Currently the archwing missions are broken some of my friends reported they does not have had AW and they managed to do the Venus one without AW. Also some stuff seems broken with whips. Otherwise nice review and thanks for it Mako! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic is strong with this one The amusing thing to me is that, at current, I'd probably choose... all four of Amesha's abilities, if railjack is going to continue to be the only future archwings have. I mean, ideally, they'll be reworking things so that there are other useful abilities, maybe ungimp archguns for space combat since they talked about adding a follow mode for dogfighting. but overall my confidence is pretty low that they'll make things much better.

Logic is strong with this one but youre still putting together different weapons in the same category, with some minor variations. the best example of that was my off-meta Gaze with extra range, which I used to replace my Atomos and Amprex. An alternative to that is a Gaze with a bigger clip, which some preferred, but I wanted the range. Zaw daggers can be built with little variations, depending if you're stacking combo or going heavy crit. I feel you haven't explored to current system enough. If modular Archwings are done in the same way as kitguns and zaws, i'll be enjoying the new content quite a bit.

It looks like the only point of the two squad types is a vague overall event score progression system, but every event is always rigged for us to succeed or fail at DE's discretion anyhow, so I feel like that probably won't matter. Exactly what I was hoping for, hooray! Yup. I often think that a theme park or elementary school sports day is a good analog for these types of games.
