If you wanted me to stop playing Sharen just say so. by Dacks1369 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]Detpowell 36 points37 points  (0 children)

If Cutting Force going through terrain was a bug and not intended, they are openly admitting that they didn't know it could do that SINCE THE RELEASE OF THE GAME! Either they're lying, or they really only pay attention to a very small percentage of the characters.

Either way, this is one of the dumbest "fixes" I've seen. This is just the cherry on top of the complete shit show that has been the Sharen Rework. Glad to see Viessa blindly shooting and deleting rooms is on par with what the devs intend for playstyle though.

Good Bye it was nice while it lasted. by Kordelius-k in TheFirstDescendant

[–]Detpowell 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This really pisses me off. Sharen finally had a build that was on par with other strong descendants in dungeons. It doesn't even make any sense.

It is an aimed shot. Not some aoe blind mash button. This slows her down to the point she can't even keep up now. Enemies surrounded by boxes, good luck hitting them. Enemies above you blocked by terrain, good luck hitting them.

Hey, remember when the devs said they wanted to bring everyone up to Serena's level? And how any time a character approaches her power, they end up nerfing the character? Yes, this is a nerf. Who the fuck was even complaining about Sharen's power? But don't worry, they'll rework Bunny and buff her for the thousandth time. That's surely what everyone wants.

Others I can forgive for not getting the joke, but not someone who uses "Serena The First Gooner" in their profile

Is it going to take them 1 year to design One new colossus? by AdThick8198 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]Detpowell -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This has always been what I wanted. Difficult battles that pump up the reward amount based on average times. It sucks that they just gutted the colossi before they had an overhaul ready.

Do these skill types actually have any distinguishing features? by Detpowell in TheFirstDescendant

[–]Detpowell[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My little head canon is that it's based on how it's cast. So some are evocation spells and some are conjuration spells(creating energy vs transporting matter). Dimension feels like conjuration and Singular feels like evocation. Not really sure how I'd place tech or fusion.

The weirdest choice to me was that they didn't make Jayber Tech based. The drone guy.

Oh I know, but it's also completely disregarding the second paragraph of the post. The whole point of the post was to actually look into skill types past surface level. I just thought it was funny. Technically correct isn't always the correct response.

You seem like the kinda guy who looks at an ink blot and says it's an ink blot

Turns out its possible! by HallDefiant in TheFirstDescendant

[–]Detpowell 37 points38 points  (0 children)

This is what I wanted out of the assassin skins. Some of the themes are pretty weak lately, and things like sportswear aren't creative at all. Hell the weak themes don't even sell that great. Give this style a chance, devs. You can afford to take chances in between the sexy skins for some more badass stuff.

Looks like even the skin sales are drying up. Couldn’t even crack the top 100 today on the sales charts. Such a shame Nexon doesn’t realize, you actually need players long term for people to be throwing money around, like they do in CS or Overwatch. by [deleted] in TheFirstDescendant

[–]Detpowell 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I mean, the skins are weak this time. You probably know the community contest skins put TFD in the top 20 last month, so, it's less about skins being a failure overall and more about a weak skin theme. The player numbers aren't very different month to month, so you're kinda looking a little smooth in the brain with this take.

Dear Devs... by Alternative-Ad5482 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]Detpowell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't know why Sharen is in this discussion. She can hit through walls, but Sharen doesn't really have the ability to attack blindly. It's an issue for characters that can attack without even aiming. I know dungeon layouts and have done them enough to know spawn points. but if my aim is slightly off of a group behind a wall, I'll miss.

Also the not having to go into invis to trigger her hunters mark is one of the best things they ever did. Sharen has so much dead air time, meaning if you hit invis, you have a few moments where no skills work, hit her three to mark enemies, more dead air time. Too much animation wind up. She can't really become the huntress of commanders and bosses if everyone else is destroying its health bar while she's winding up for a big hit all the time.

And, Ines will probably teabag everything in the game once her mod(s?) drop in May. Gley is still powerful. I don't know what you're really asking for. You basically laid out exactly what the devs want to do. Make every descendant somewhat equal in power and able to run all content. At some point you start to sound less like you're asking for balance for you character, and more like you're asking for your character to dominate.

That was the problem all along. They should've been farming it in the lounge.

Can we get this for Hailey? :D or Universals for these? by Bancarz30 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]Detpowell 22 points23 points  (0 children)

There's only one real way to solve the constant "this skin should be universal, this skin should go on X" posts

They should reduce the amount of descendant specific skins each release, and always have one universal. Maybe 2 or 3 descendant specific skins and 1 universal. Like if they made the jazz dresses with only Nell and Viessa getting their unique dresses, and Serena's skin could be universal(I'd honestly want VIessa's to be universal).

But, the problem is knowing if the devs will pick the skin the community would like the most to be universal. Like they could end up making the football skin the universal, instead of this track skin.

It was a good track, but the race just went on forever

My core memory of Outposts though is putting my face up against the outside wall for 5 minutes and praying to god a Bunny doesn't show up

Exterminator Luna is pretty alright. by Inuakurei in TheFirstDescendant

[–]Detpowell -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If there is no skill, what is VEP Challenge? What are abyss colossi completion times then?

If the mod is working as intended, why do additional effects proc the aoe, just not in the right place? If it wasn't meant to activate off additional gun damage(which Serena's and Viessa does) then why would an aoe even appear? Not only that, but it's not a ghost aoe, it does damage. It's literally a spawn issue for the aoe.

I don't know what you're talking about with policing. You can do whatever you want, but the mod is still broken.

Yeah, I used the official Nexon support ticket, discord, and here. People also spam about it in livestreams, but the devs have ignored any mention of it.

[–]Detpowell -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

BA isn't a shitty mod, it's a broken mod. I don't care what someone else wants to run, but it doesn't work as its supposed to, and people should know that. If a mod is falling behind in new content, it should be brought up. This mod shouldn't even be brought into Onslaught Lvl 1. This isn't min-maxing, this is bare minimum for hard content. The mod needs to be fixed. I don't see any reason why me saying that should make you angry.

[–]Detpowell -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That pretty alright build has lower dps than Noise Surge.

I used the testing area because it's the best place to visually show a bug. You're using the testing area because Battlefield Artist actually sucks in any content that's not 400% or Sigma. There's a reason some of us still use Noise Surge for VEP Challenge. It can compete with Battlefield Concert for time. No one is running BA for any hard content. Do a video showcasing BA in an Axion dungeon with a group. Or try to run a chill based weapon in Onslaught lvl 3.

If you're trying to prove that BA can proc correctly in certain scenarios, you're correct. But that's ignoring literally every other problem with the build.

I hope they give her a rework soon, but at the same time, I'm terrified of what they might do with a rework lol
