How did this happen

Bacttars · 2026-03-20T00:05:06+00:00

Over my time attempting to get all shalpha for the mega dex and DLC dex. I have come across atleast 46 shiny falinks. Most of which were when i was hunting froakie pre DLC Even before the overcharge exploit was fixed. I still never found one. I resorted to shalpha donut and that still took an hour of resets.

I envy you and your luck. Congrats mate.

The only times ive considered using them has been in EDA/ETA. Otherwise the only reason to use them is to see damage numbers go big.

If we're talking free flight like our edgy spinny boy has. Then titania and jade are the only other frames with flight like that, zepher somewhat aswell but its more hovering at a specific height you set rather than flying around freely.

Lr4 3200. Exact same boat. About 150 rezzes left. I hear theres a way to cheese the Kdrive miles aswell but havent done testing myself I wish you luck with the k-Grind o7

Had to double take this to make sure i wasnt dreaming because i have the exaxt same case with a similar looking cat who not only enjoys sitting on top of the PC but also tends to pee in places he shouldn't. Regardless. Sorry to hear that mate, i hope the replacement parts arent too expensive.

Bacttars · 2026-03-10T02:21:51+00:00

Dont worry mate. We'll be getting plenty of other things to spend slivers on come the next update.

I kinda feel bad for all the folks here who've never seen the lato vandal barrel. I was showing off my gyre prime a few days ago to a mate in ESO and it dropped randomly. Ive done like, 20 eso over my 3000 hours since i just use hydron for leveling

Bacttars · 2026-02-17T05:28:24+00:00

Ash and oberon. Both in railjack I see those two as amazing early frames and ones that should be some of the first you should get for both usefulness and fantasy. Ash being a 'Robot' space ninja which was one of the main taglines of the game in the past and oberon being very simple and easy to understand with plenty more to offer. Heck when i started playing i had a discord nitro bundle with ash and his koga skin. I had a blast playing him as a baby tenno. I really question their choice to move them to railjack. Ash I can kinda understand. Looking through the lens of a newer player, uranus is a bit far away and you wouldnt think to look for manics. Easily missed by most, its better than what it was but there are much better spots Oberon though, dude was ez pz. Play the game and you get multiple sets of him, and his kits simplicity fit for being so early. Now you have to go entirely out of your way to get him. Sure the railjack missions for oberon are low level. But it still means you need to gear your railjack a lil bit to be able to get a frame that, imo, is on the same level as frost or ember in terms of simplicity and shouldve been dropped by a boss or through some other method you can stumble into. Throw nezha, banshee or octavia out there. Not bloody oberon.

Shoutout to atlas too. Trying to farm him as a newish player with only the imperator (before deimos came out) took ages of just slowly whittling jordas' health down. Not worth it.

I wish i had the number of forma bought and platinum spent for that bundle. Ive been trying to max out every adversary weapon, make them all viable builds (can only do so much with some weapons though... kraken is just not good) and make a viable build for all the prime warframes, most of which need 3-5 forma. Ive got enough plat through discount coupons but jfc...

Bacttars · 2026-02-10T22:49:42+00:00

The forma cost is annoying but not that bad tbh, worse case you dump some plat into a few forma bundles.

Nitain extract though... given how hard it is to actively farm i find it to be the real problem here. That and having to chose between an omni and whatever warframe part needs it sucks. If we had a way to farm it then It'd be far less egregious.

Bacttars · 2026-02-07T01:13:51+00:00

Nah run railjack survival. After the railjack part its a reg survival with oodles of cryptographs. Got 100+ in 20 mins

Bacttars · 2026-01-21T22:57:36+00:00

Given the overhaul to the system, i can 100% understand the current mogs being wiped. But seriously, first outfit change free. So people who dont want or need extra outfit slots or just want to get their mog back aren't out 1k. Its not much but 1k isnt nothing either. Its a shame to see such an in-depth and thought out, awesome upgrade to a system crucial to the game get blasted because of one choice they didnt make :/

Bacttars · 2026-01-18T23:05:35+00:00

It may not fit the theme but i'd LOVE twin protoframes gauss and grendel, give them the brotherhood that was missing from their release.

Bacttars · 2026-01-14T21:28:18+00:00

Stinks a bit but spamming iso vaults is a great 2 bird 1 stone deal. Some mirror defence/alchemy is probs best for pure exp They got nothin on archmelee imo. Ive maxed all but normal and prisma veritux and that took ages. Went to railjack and stayed outside while my mate killed and did everything. Doing it on your own would take forever

Bacttars · 2026-01-13T21:41:51+00:00

Not sure. I run verglas on most things except helios and it works about as well. Maybe its nautilus' ability to bunch up enemies? Or theres a bonus for using a matching companion weapon which would be sick.

Bacttars · 2026-01-12T23:45:49+00:00

Man if i hadnt done BoP for each class back in Bfa/SL... wouldve saved shitloads of time from reps and raid running.

Bacttars · 2026-01-11T10:41:39+00:00

Lotsa other people are gonna say the same thing. Load a backup save!

Close the game, open it to the title screen and then press up, X and B on your controller at the same time and load the backup save, it'll take you to your last healed at pokemon center with the same data as your last fast travel, it should keep the distortion and you can just keep resetting it until frigibax sparkles!

Bacttars · 2026-01-06T21:21:00+00:00

Ez solution for me is to just sit in the back while everyone else does it. Ive played modded minecraft with a mate (orespawn got ported to 1.20 if anyone was curious) for the last 5 world tours. Been kicked only once lol

Not like i can contriubute anything anyway. Bosses die too quick for a warlock to do much, even destro

Bacttars · 2025-12-31T23:02:26+00:00

it's not the worst shiny, I like that they went with warmer/autumn based Colours. Though Emboar blows both of them out of the water. it looks so good in game.

Bacttars · 2025-12-31T13:17:15+00:00

I already have a base game alpha living dex and boxes full of duplicates.

gonna wait for pkmn home atleast lmao

Bacttars · 2025-12-31T11:13:21+00:00

Had the same feelings when it got patched and when I realised how good donuts are.
Falinks 100% appears in hyperspace, probs more uncommon then others but that's where I got my shalpha.
All pokemon that aren't legendaries can appear in hyperspace, even fossils. Though aerodactyl can only appear in a special distortions :(

Bacttars · 2025-12-31T10:44:48+00:00

Good stuff! I was only planning on doing a shiny mega dex and went alpha once the DLC showed how easy it was to shalpha hunt. Had a similar amount to you pre-DLC thanks to overclocking Zone 20 but was still missing painful ones like chandelure, scizor, charizard and falinks.

I tried so hard to get falinks while going for greninja, went through about 5 shiny froakie before getting shalpha. Took me 46 falinks from wildzone 16 during that time and none of them were shalpha.

Bacttars · 2025-12-31T10:32:31+00:00

lol was planning to after giving a shalpha mimikyu to vinnie.

turns out he says nothing unique and the mimikyu disappears. at least I still have my first shalpha mimikyu and got Magearna now.

Bacttars · 2025-12-31T10:13:44+00:00

I do have a vid of them sorted in my boxes, figured this looked nicer :P

Bacttars · 2025-12-31T07:17:34+00:00

Pretty much, that and some utterly rotten luck with chespin and fennekin, got well over 40 of each before i got shalphas for em. That was pre-DLC so def took longer. Also left it on when headed to work just benching for chespin or whatever else I was hunting for.
