Hotfix 9.4: Double Affinity Weekend!

[TheDrunkenGungan]

UGH! IM CURRRNTLY ON VACAY, so no affinity for me.......(And to think I had my new shiny Boltor waiting for me.)

[Mak_Gohae]

On a good note..... i can see my clan emblem now.

Too bad the emblem has some weird holographic outline on some of the letters on the top area.

But dont worry, i'll upload a new version that will probably solve that when there's another plat sale.

Any chance this include a fix for GTX 600 series cards? it seems like if you have a 650Ti or similar you cant really finish a mission before crashing.

I have a GTX 690 and not having any problems at all. Is it a driver thing?

[B1g0d0n]

oh, come'n! " No-Mini Map mode " is epic! most like a survive mode without help to know-where-to go ! damn, i like that x_x

[AstorSigma]

I know I crash every now and then and it brings up the hardware failure page. One time it said that the driver stopped responding and recovered so it seems like a driver issue. I have a GTX 660.

Then you, sir, are in need of a post-it note. :P

[Ozku]

volt bugs fixed? D:

[Mudriski]

Double xp!

[Chimbolt]

Nexus app fixes is nice and all. But when is the iPhone app coming?

[Nyrakav]

Me while I'm updating

 

Me when I get in a game

[Un1337ninj4]

On the announcement you said we get double Afuris.....does this mean we equip 4 furis at once? lol dem typos

[Fluffbane]

Three quick points:

 

1. I'm always fascinated how whenever I mention something needing adjusting/fixing somewhere it gets adjusted/fixed in the next patch. It's magic.

 

2. Energy drain + zero shields isn't just evil, it means there are legitimately only a couple frames for which it is not absolutely suicidal to take into nightmare mode, and soloing nightmare defense is essentially impossible 33% of the time.

 

3. Rebecca, you have committed the sin I have to frequently admonish others for, namely claiming "everyone hates" something when you really mean "most people hate," which are very different things even if you use the word "universally" since it means the same thing. I just don't like it when someone implicitly calls me an aberration and intrinsically wrong just because of holding a minority opinion, and that somehow you know/control my thoughts (even given point #1). Even if I get acknowledged in parenthetical expression. Anyway. Personal annoyance most likely.

I didn't really get around to trying a no mini map nightmare mode but i think that would be a fun challenge trying to find your way through!

• No-Mini Map mode removed as it was universally despised (but if you really liked it, a post-it note will do the trick).

Kisses on the mouth for this!

[Tesrac]

The energy drain and no shields need to be mutually exclusive.....as a Loki pilot if you take away my shields and my energy I have nothing and may as well not bother running the mission at all, I dislike being penalized for playing a frame designed for advanced players by losing the things that make that frame fun to play and over half of my passive defense ability.

[Llyssa]

Yay! Glad that's gone. But here's my post-it note:

Keep no-mini map mode for static defense missions. Both endless defense and counting down waves defense. It was quite off putting to have no idea what wave you were on and how many you had left to go. It also forced you to look around more rather than just look at the minimap.

No no, they mean, put a post-it note on your monitor, over the minimap, and it has the same effect.

[Kisho3]

How exactly does one have a negative credit balance?

[ShadowsFusion]

Sweeeet i cant wait to go and level up all this stuff. Maybe now i can get my new mastery ranks.

[X3Evanescence]

Yay!

[Bang_Doll]

I liked No Mini-map mode.

 

I just think sometimes the combinations were too much.  Like No Mini-map + timer = lol wat.

 

Also it depended on the mission type.  Sabotage?  Raid?  Sure.  Rescue?  Ugh, I already gotta worry about that idjut not getting killed.  Now how do I keep track of them??

i think they should bring back the no map mode in nightmare cuz i find it very challenging(thought time consuming)to have no map plus no shields energy drain and a no map mode will be likely doing a mission without any help from the lotus which is for me awesome cuz you need to find the objective on your own which is "synergetic" when lotus says "the target is somewhere on this ship find him and capture him" which means you need to find it for yourself and not just look at the map(which is literally not finding it cuz you are not searching for it,instead you would just go to it and not find it)
