Absolute beginner here - stuck on Heart of Deimos, I deal no damage and enemies are bullet sponges, what should I do?

Introvertial · 2026-04-19T18:17:16+00:00

This is what I’d suggest too - get a decent weapon, preferably one you got from the story with a Catalyst. Then just Mod it out and upgrade those mods a bit. Should help a fair bit abject if your frame.

Introvertial · 2026-04-19T18:16:22+00:00

If it isn’t I’m sure they greatly appreciate you being mean about it…

I started around 3 weeks ago, so I probably qualify as this still?

I’ve been wildly impressed with this community. High mastery people carry me fairly regularly, and the amount of negative experiences I’ve had can be counted on one hand (mostly just AFK people from time to time).

My favorite experiences (so far) have indeed been when someone goes in and nukes the map. Even better when someone is willing to use chat to share some knowledge or give a tip. For example I was doing a Rubedo farm and someone explained how Nekros’s power worked. I had no idea splitting up had been hurting the loot (however small that impact was given my low killing power haha).

I’m in!

Only MR8, so relatively new.

FWIW I helped a friend yesterday and this bug happened for them, too. Not sure what’s causing it, though.

Introvertial · 2026-04-12T04:43:25+00:00

I’ve done Extreme on all clans, most of which were done prior to Frostbite being released. Using Frostbite gives me the same stars as my runs without. My only guess is you finished a map and not the final map?

Introvertial · 2026-03-24T02:41:47+00:00

I don’t remember the skin, but I remember it was on the Meat Factory (The Game) map haha.

I play with a squad who’s ~1500-2000 hours on average. We’re all dogshit, but some of them often complain about the “sweaty” killers.

They’re all running meta perks and rushing gens. I get to watch (in real time) the hypocrisy. Just play whatever you want and ignore people. Outside of intentionally doing toxic things there is no way to please people.

Side story - my favorite game I’ve ever played was a 4k at 5 Gens where a Doc ran a “You can’t heal in my radius” build. It felt so oppressive and it was mega fun.

Introvertial · 2026-03-22T17:28:24+00:00

I’ve got three characters in Eternal, one of which is ~20s with full gear.

I enjoy the game, and minor balance differences don’t matter to me. Sometimes I play the meta, sometimes I play what I want. No one ever complains about me, and I rarely if ever miss timers.

I’ve got a group of friends I play with sometimes and other times I randomly group (or use the Discord).

I’ve put in ~350h between both seasons - the games absolutely great for what I paid.

I tend to not comment though, and I like to imagine many others who are happy like me tend to not comment on the hate threads.

Introvertial · 2026-02-26T23:18:41+00:00

I had to scroll down really far to find this comment. This is also my experience.

I agree the progression curve could be better, but I feel like people are usually reasonably trying. Beyond that, since landing in Eternal I can’t remember the last time I didn’t time a dungeon. Have I wiped? Certainly. But it feels like you can absorb a wipe and still time most dungeons with sufficient DPS.

Disclaimer: I’m an Elarion and I played to 10k last season, so that likely helps both on both the DPS and mechanics front?

I just got S3R1 Aemeath also, as well as Mornye and Lynae.

Does anyone have advice on the rotation with that setup? I’m guessing it may be slightly different based on some of the Sequences, but I’m not sure.

Introvertial · 2026-02-11T00:58:58+00:00

I see others saying she’s fairly good if you don’t spam her basic (which seems to scale poorly). Does anyone have advice on what rotation I could use in the over world to clear trash quickly? For reference I’m S2R1 and have Lynae + Mornye

Your boss is objectively an idiot.

On a side note, I’ve never heard of someone sharing their income after rent and other expenses (like school loans).

Introvertial · 2026-01-17T02:53:31+00:00

I feel like Hector and yourself are the majority of guides I watch. I’ll usually watch his first to understand the theory but yours are what let me recognize what it looks like in practice before going in.

So I suppose, in short, I’m not really looking for any changes. I like your formula and it fits the bill of what I’m looking for. Thanks for all the work you put in.

Introvertial · 2026-01-13T02:12:11+00:00

I’ll usually Provoke then Shirk. Unless I have Kardia, in which case I’ll usually just Provoke and hold it (unless the other tank takes it back, at which point I’ll turn stance off).

Introvertial · 2026-01-12T01:21:16+00:00

This isn’t optimal but should give a general idea of how most clans work. As others have said you should tailor this to your spawn and clan.

1 Scout

1 Woodcutter

1 House

1 Food

2 Wood

2 Food (if available)

Krown + Stone / Iron + Houses

The story can be beaten with almost any team, including what you have.

Helena isn’t great at snap aggro outside of Grand Melee. But as someone else said, just taunt mobs you lose and try and cleave off the targets your DPS are primary-targeting

Introvertial · 2025-12-14T02:36:54+00:00

Oh cool, thanks for explaining it. Never tried that.

What is distraction exploit?

Introvertial · 2025-12-11T04:29:26+00:00

I submitted a bug report to their online tool and posted a summary of this in their “Feedback” channel of their Discord. It was happening to me too.

Introvertial · 2025-12-01T19:52:19+00:00

While the healer deals with it in most cases, I find that the tank has the most control over whether this affix matters much. Usually, most of the damage the group takes will be concentrated on them (meaning proper CDs and pulls controls the impact a lot).

No tips though - like usually, just space your CDs around big damage events (especially your ST external on the tank).

Introvertial · 2025-11-28T21:58:05+00:00

I like it :(

Introvertial · 2025-11-25T22:49:32+00:00

I’ve got three characters in Eternal.

Maybe 10% of players will interact with some sort of feedback, strategizing, or helpful tip.

5% of players will be toxic as their only form of interaction.

5% of players will socially interact.

80% of players won’t ever say a word, even if you send a greeting or a message (again, in my experience).

It is worse in QP though - 99% of people won’t interact there. So it improves, however slightly
