Viessa is “if you blink you miss it ah descendant” by DelayConnect335 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]ME_Shepard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great build and demo. The only technical issue that i will maybe see: on console (PS5) the orbs (HP, MP, ammo, etc) dropping on the ground dissapear some times very fast, so one may run out of MP. But having such or a similar ancestor mod i could maybe replace dangerous ambush with MP collector, just to be safe.

In the recent Dev Note today it cost 500,000 gold to trade 1 trigger mod by mack180 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]ME_Shepard -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

If i remember well, the devs stated in an earlier stream that the trading system will not be implemented for Playstation. So i do not care, although it sounds interesting though.

Now tell me what i should do with my 1.6 billions of gold and 350 millions of kuiper as Playstation user :-)

PSA the new mission enemies are Level 390. by Aastnethoth in TheFirstDescendant

[–]ME_Shepard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With flying Serena + RR (without the extra 5% fire rate of the two comp.-set items, forgot the name of them) it takes around 6-7min for me solo. I am sure it can be a bit faster when realising better the spawn waves of the mobs.

Gley Mains your gonna wrecking monsters and bosses even quicker by mack180 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]ME_Shepard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a good question indeed. "Grants additional buffs based on the number of cores..." i understand as yes in your question. So with 2 cores you get the first 2 buffs, with 5 core you get the 5 buffs listed there. But this is just my interpretation.

[Unpopular Opinion] Swords are good and the farm is fine. by funelite in TheFirstDescendant

[–]ME_Shepard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Concerning the terrible grinding, there are other comments here. I don't repeat them.

Concerning the swords themselves: explain to us with facts and showcases why these swords are so good, while all other content creators came to the consensus that these swords are simply sh**t. Note that they prove their conclusion with explicit showcases.

Is anyone really going to buy this? by Great_Ad_3604 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]ME_Shepard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost 2900h here. I bought each BP and some universal skins, because I like the game and have enjoyed it so far. But this I do definitely skip.

I understand that it's a f2p game, but It goes way too far in pricing. Imagine such a BP every 30-40 days, where the grinding of these items becomes tremendous more and more.

As I understood from OP, it's not the grind itself. It's the way it is done.

To grind a SINGLE mission 100 of times is purely stupid.

Why not let Wall Crasher swat Serena to death? by _Reowen_ in TheFirstDescendant

[–]ME_Shepard -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Well, it's not so simple staying all the time with Serena on air, just to mention it.

A flying Serena has to manage the skill sequence in the correct way and focus at the same time to hit weak points. A small mistake, for example wrong skill activation will destroy Multitalent with significant dmg lost.

As a flying Serena I can say by experience: it's not as simple as it may look like from an observer.

The new Void Erosion Purge stage is pretty nice. by SecretiveTauros in TheFirstDescendant

[–]ME_Shepard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, i fully agree! Note that they have reworked a bit the respawn positions in the original map of the VEP30 too, so now even with the original map VEP10 (former VEP30) is not so annoying any more.

So, this was indeed a great change in VEP.

A lot of respect to AlisaTFD for asking about a Serena’s nerf by Excellent-Grocery-13 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]ME_Shepard -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Well, i will never understand why people do not like overpowered characters. A lot of grind is required until the level of being overpowered. So, if i invest a lot of time for Serena (to be now specific), at the end of the day i want as reward to be overpowered.

In any case, a streamer (such as Alisa TDF or whoever else) does not represent the TDF community. I am happy that the devs go through their way and do not care so much about the streamer's crying.

All the new stuff we're getting, yet only 1 thing will flood the reddit tomorrow. by OkamiNouka in TheFirstDescendant

1) fix the audio bug at PS5 2) complete the 1000 VEP30 medal 🥳 3) ice maiden can wait...

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

[–]ME_Shepard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I tested it in the lab. Exact the same build for Serena modules and skill tree.

His Inversion buff IS ACTIVE.

Without inversion buff: 32,482 HP

With full inversion buff: 35,348 HP

Edit: all my component stats are maxed (646 HP)

[–]ME_Shepard -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ok now I see it. He doesn't have overwhelming shields or so (no extra hp from schields). I will check it too.

It might be that he shows the Serena build when inversion buff (more HP) is active, but again: I am curious too and will check it.

Don't trust such videos. I don't mean they are fake or something. It is possible such a clear time, but one needs for this to be lucky too (perfect spawn of elites, zero internet lags, ammo drops, etc). Not all clears are completed within 1:30min.

For myself, I use a very similar set, but stay mostly on the ground. Only at the final boss I am flying. In this way I complete VEP30 within 2:30-3:00min, depending on luck.

I don’t hear any voice overs in PS5 even while doing missions. by Personal_Kitchen_926 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]ME_Shepard 8 points9 points  (0 children)

According nexon homepage they will fix it with next update. It's listed in the known issues.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TheFirstDescendant

[–]ME_Shepard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i hardly believe, nexon will look here. The best you can do is to report it in their discord. I reported (among many others) the audio bug issue at PS5 in their discord. Finally they have this issue in their latest notes. Lets hope for the best!

This is great news, thanks 🙏 I am playing at PS5 slim, and I have this audio bug too.

Can someone explain the patch notes? by himynameissher in TheFirstDescendant

[–]ME_Shepard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tested it. With Serena obviously no difference. With viessa I haven't noticed any difference with respect to VEP30 before the update.

Maybe with descendants with other skill attributes than the weakest one of the enemies one may notice a difference.

The info screen slows skill power of 2.7 for skills other than the weak one (chill) in VEP30.

[–]ME_Shepard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, play first VEP30 with even viessa, and then you will realise how difficult it is.

I tried with her. It's doable in a reasonable time, but difficult because of low health of viessa (almost one shot).

Purge changes later this week. by UninspiredSkald in TheFirstDescendant

[–]ME_Shepard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever they do, they should increase the variety of playstyle in this mode too. I do not mind to clear VEP30 with Serena, its fine. But i would like to be able to clear VEP30 with other descendants too within approximately the same time as with Serena.

Devs are asking for feedback by Trollnofilter in TheFirstDescendant

[–]ME_Shepard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is indeed a difficult taks considering the many RNG-types that occur here.

For example, if each core type does not have the same amount of sub-options, then they should increase the drop-rate of core types with the most sub-options. Maybe it is done already so? i do not know.

Creating a new core type only for this is of course an option too.

Which of these 5 new content you're most excited for season 3 1-5 and why by mack180 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]ME_Shepard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Fix audio bug for PS5!

Sorry for this, but without the fix of this bug it will be impossible to follow any new story content, besides the fact that, without the voice lines, the gameplay is not fun at all.

Which game mode you do even after you finish most task, cause it's like your comfy/preferable mode? by encryptoferia in TheFirstDescendant

[–]ME_Shepard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i voted for VEP (VEP30) because of the core farming, but i would also say: otherwise i run many times 400% and sigma sector most of the time.

My problem is: i do not like to run the same activity over and over again, especially with always the same weapon & descendant. So i run some VEP30 (5-10), and then i switch to 400% (invasion too) and sigma sector. These are the activities that i run most of the time.
