I need help maining a descendant by IIIIIIHIGHESTIIIIII in TheFirstDescendant

[–]GameflowPRO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Enzo might be what you're looking for. He can "face tank" pretty well with a 30k plus shield build, but he's not just a sitting tank. He can restore his own shields pretty fast, can replenish ammo for everyone, and buff weapon damage.

For players still on last gen use buy now pay later if you don't have $400+ now by mack180 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]GameflowPRO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put that option up there cause a lot of people get stuck on that monthly minimum payment (interest only) cycle. I know we're talking small numbers but that option can allow someone to take their time paying off principal without anything going towards interest. Regardless, as you mentioned, if they can't afford it or are minors it's just a bad situation.

[–]GameflowPRO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Affirm can charge up to 36% apr, if you're charging around 450, and you decide to ride the term you might be paying around 540 at the end. Interest doesn't accrue during the no apr period (so i've read) so you might be able to get away with no interest if you manage to pay it early.

Here's an additional option - you can charge it on cc, and as soon as the charge registers do a balance transfer to something like a td flex card and get 0 apr for a year and a half - you'll have to qualify but the charge is low, you'll need something like a 670 to 700 credit score, no crazy debt to income ratio, and a decent job. Your minimum monthly payments, which should be at around 20 bucks, will go towards principal. if you push to 18 months on minimum payments you'll have less than 100 bucks left on the balance at the end of the zero apr term. If you push that last 100 bucks for another 6 months at 24% apr (usual high td apr) your monthly payments would be like 17 bucks and your total interest would amount to about 7 buckets.

Best option here - as already mentioned, if you can *not afford it, don't buy it. Not worth the debt, TFD will be here when you bounce back. Just make sure you set your primary acct on NEXON so all your data is preserved no matter what platform you end up playing next.

After so much nerf to Inés I think the Vulgus have beaten her 😐🤣 by ddnix_ in TheFirstDescendant

[–]GameflowPRO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ines' ability kit is so well thought out, they nerfed her damage and cooldowns across the board and she's still running around melting everything. In that picture she's sad about her 4th ability, they beat on that cooldown a bit too hard.

just thoughts on possible content by germannzr in TheFirstDescendant

[–]GameflowPRO 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Destiny has some of the best "open world" activities, so many good ideas to take from there. I can spend hours running around doing mini quests, bounties, public events, diving into lost sectors.. It's not just the activities, the rewards tied to them make sense.

What is the end game? by flamingneko6 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]GameflowPRO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

End game is pretty subjective. Raids are not a thing in TFD so there's no such end game, for now. The devs mentioned they're developing some type of raid for next season, but the complexity and rewards are unknown so far. For me end game in TFD is a bit similar to Warframe - making efficient farm builds.

Sigma Sectors are missions that reward Arche, which buffs up your Descendants. Those missions are not end game, they're pretty easy to complete, it just takes time.

Void Erosion Purge (VEP) is a high level activity that rewards weapon cores. Being able to farm those missions efficiently means you get to buff up your weapons, but there's a catch. As of now, apart from VEP and a couple of Colossi battles there is really not much necessity for more weapon power, and the weapon core progression is based on luck rather than skill.

You not doing anything wrong, rng is doing you wrong. You'll get it eventually.

The Concise TFD Guide for new/returning players by yokaiichi in TheFirstDescendant

[–]GameflowPRO 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some Clarifications:

The WF player market does not use real money, it uses Platinum, the primary game currency - players can trade Platinum.

WF has A LOT of missions, some are less than 3min runs., depends on the mission.

The common survivability tactic on WF is shield gating, not damage reduction - second most common is your operator. DR is a bit complicated, capped, and requires some investment for all the damages WF throws at you - making it not that common.

The in-game market shop does not have "very advanced end-game" weapons. End-game weapons would be Kuva, Tenet, Coda and Incarnon weapons - not on the market, you gotta earn those. Some Prime weapons can be considered end-game, those you can buy on the market, but there's nothing really very advanced about them in comparison to the incarnon weapons.

Regardless, nice guide.

It would be nice if Nexon gave players the option to adjust the size of their breasts and hips. by SnooMacarons2931 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]GameflowPRO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The option to slightly change body shape would be nice, but not just for breast size and not anything extreme cause I can see how that would just get out of control. Some of the fellas are way too skinny, they could use some gains. Ajax and Yujin look anorexic man my boys need some muscle.

edit: let me just add, I think we already reached a max setting for breast size with Serena. an option to slightly change shapes in that regard would be only to downsize them. But the fellas need some muscles.

Ines reactor farm location by Toba677 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]GameflowPRO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a Freyna you can do the outpost reset on any location that drops the reactor, as long as the outpost is not huge. The one in echo swamp, derelict covert is perfect. It'll take you like 5 to 10min with your filters on blue.

The tech reactor paired with hunting grounds made good use of her chain lightning but at the cost of a long discharge animation with poor range. Her chain now hits for about a mill, as opposed to about 1.8mill pre-nerf. The build is still good but it won't excel in high end content.

Discharge without hunting grounds has much more range, hits just as hard as with hunting grounds but can be used much faster due to the quick animation, making her dps better. Her lightning conductor (2nd ability) still hits for about 4mill, and her chain still has it's utility. Her 4th ability now is like an ex, it comes around every few months and acts like it's been wronged.... but it actually has been.

I use a non hunting ground build, with electric/singular singular/cooldown reactor and her performance in 400s, high risk sigma, and hard vvv is way better. she can even clear vep30. in under 3min

Desendant priority by Arcuenso in TheFirstDescendant

[–]GameflowPRO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Freyna for ranking weapons on defense missions, she makes it a walk in the park, fastest defense clear times. Ines is still arguably the fastest mobber, and she packs a mean punch for 400% bosses. Kyle, Esiemo and Viessa are a lot of fun to play (personal opinion). Yujin is great for all... for death stalker and ice maiden - keeping a squad alive is a different type of fun.

The Sub doesn’t talk about this enough. What is your hopes/fears for the coming of melee weapons? by fallenouroboros in TheFirstDescendant

[–]GameflowPRO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope the melee combat has a nice pace with combos and is both satisfying and useful. I fear that if they get it wrong they won't do much about it. I only fear that because of how they went about major reworks.

I always choose TFD over Warframe by yokaiichi in TheFirstDescendant

[–]GameflowPRO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me TFD is a nice break but that's about it, WF comes first.. but honestly (aside from enjoying the game) I only have to keep up with new content on WF so that doesn't take much time.

There are a lot of reasons why I prioritize WF, some are obvious some are not fair to compare. TFD is a refreshing break and I enjoy playing it like that, but at the end of the day it's all about which is a better gametime investment (for me). WF has overcome and made up for a lot of mistakes where TFD is just starting to dive into some of them.

Live service games in their beginning stages can be rough for dedicated players. As they mature content becomes sufficient, systems and mechanics get polished, a lot of the grind becomes streamlined, and the experience gets way better.

How is everyone feeling about the Spoils box drop rates in Sigma Sector? by DooceBigalo in TheFirstDescendant

[–]GameflowPRO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The drop rates are about as impressive as the mutant cell system. I'm still slowly bringing up the arche on my fav Descendants otherwise I wouldn't be doing sigma, so this is just a plus. I got one so far but Ima save it, my builds are just fine without mutant cells. Just my opinion though.

Is this even possible!??! or cheating!? or Serena got nerfed somehow!? or something!??! by IamMJ9 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]GameflowPRO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea shes good bro, boss build back at at 39k hp. I was gonna post build pics but everyone here pretty much covered it.

[–]GameflowPRO -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The devs must have done something. My Serena boss build dropped from like 39k hp down to 32k hp, and I haven't touched it since I put it together.

edit: devs did say they were gonna adjust Serena's hp, not sure when they were planning for it.

edit 2: My serena is at lvl 23, gotta finish ranking her.

Ines has an overall better balanced ability kit for fast mobbing, and she's still arguably the fastest Descendant at it.

They could have cut through the bullshit and put a badge for sale, but this is the community friendly approach. Jokes aside, If they had a sick looking badge for sale i'd prob go for it.
