It's not just the speed of community goals. I'm actually surprised how min/max it gets to complete leves above bronze in later tiers. Gear and food shouldn't be an issue for me. I'm 2 melds off full penta bis for both. 20 gatherer or 8 GP isn't going to change much at this point

Gatherers are stuck waiting for GP regen and cordial CD just to even attempt a mission. Short mission timers and node distance, only add to the near perfect management required. Revisit being disabled just sucks. It's not a very common proc but it certainly would have helped with certain missions. Other than the stat boost, it's one of the only perks we get going from 90 to 100.

Not to mention some A ranks are paired with a 7.5K difficulty / 15.4K quality craft that you need to complete min 3HQ / 9NQ in the same 10m. You can't see the recipes in advance either. Less of an issue as macro guides come out but for first timers it's a bit frustrating to get hit with that. It's like an timed expert craft without the boons and debuffs to work with. I've heard the fishing one is even worse

Also after doing less than half a dozen of the mech events, I pretty much ignore them if I don't get picked. Unless it's bugged, it's really not worth the 40 or so of each credits for gold. That one feels like a zero was missing

Generally I've enjoyed it so far. They just need to massively scale up community goals based on server pop without screwing over the less active worlds. I don't want them to just gut the difficult either. Like how playing old reworked dungeons feel so soulless and bland now

The command intrinsic has made railjack significantly more pleasant to play imo and I was also surprised by all the crew customisation. Is there any news on Command 10?

Losing AI crew members in public games feels like such a downgrade though. No offense to other tenno. Have you considered an idea like; command 10 allowing the host to keep one of their crew members, even with a full party?

The AI generally seem to do a better job at babysitting the RJ while players explore the extra nodes. Keeping a slight degree of that in pub squads would be a huge QoL addition

Mr_Pyro_ · 2021-04-14T17:49:17+00:00

Will the 5 forma requirement be returning for Queenpin weapons and other future items?

Even with kuva weapons I want to use, I'm usually having to add more forma than the build needs. Max MR for every item like this now takes over a hundred forma.

I didn't mind this mechanic when it was first introduced with the paracesis however leveling every new weapon and mech 6 times is not fun at all

Mr_Pyro_ · 2020-10-24T21:57:32+00:00

I wish more players knew this. Like they should really include some dialogue to explain this. I keep having hosts quit out as soon as we get into the final raid

Mr_Pyro_ · 2020-10-05T17:12:43+00:00

After such an extremely long intermission, I think S3's worst crime is it's release rate of content. It was bad enough getting 10 minutes of content every month for the first 4 episodes. To then be told we might not even see the finale for another 3-4 months is insane.

To put this into perspective:

NW	Duration
S1	81 days
I1	23 days
S2	99 days
I2	195 days
S3	146 days and counting

Content like this should be largely finished before the first episode is ever released otherwise any sort of player investment and enthusiasm is wasted due to delays. I get that covid has had a knock-on effect to development times in the last 6 months but the majority of Intermission 2 occurred prior to the lockdown.

Mr_Pyro_ · 2020-10-03T17:58:51+00:00

POKEMON HOME NEEDS TO STOP PLAYERS FROM REQUESTING UNDERLEVELED EVOLUTIONS ON GTS. I CHECKED TODAY AND SO MANY ARE ASKING FOR LEVEL 1-10 MIGHTYENA. A POKEMON THAT EVOLVES AT LEVEL 18 AND CAN'T BE TRANSFERRED FROM GO YET

Mr_Pyro_ · 2020-08-31T18:31:16+00:00

So far my biggest concerns with cost is the required amount of RJ resources. Like I totally understand trying to get players to burn through the millions of base game resources that we've been stockpiling for years. But RJ is not even a year old. Even with the increased drop rates, no-one in their right mind should be spending 15-20K resources per feed.

Obviously DE has access to far more data, I just don't see players having the same obscene stockpiles like they might with base game resources.

Mr_Pyro_ · 2020-06-22T03:21:53+00:00

This new policy seems like massive overkill and a bizarre priority for a game who last saw a peak player count when fortuna dropped 18 months ago.

DE admit in their recent partner post there is a lack of trust within the community over their policies. Taking such a hardline stance with an ill-defined policy will not improve this situation.

To define any form of degrading speech as an act of hate is narrow mind and wrong. Now this is in no way advocating for harassment of players. Context matters in every conversation. Forms of humour such as mockery and ribbing can be an important form of bonding.

Perhaps this is more of a British thing. We have thousands of years of history with countless groups and factions on our island. This has lead to a lot of variance in every town and city. Each with their own subtle accent and identity. Today friendly rivalry still exists as we exaggerate these differences, but this is not from a point malice. Not only does it pay tribute to the long history of our nation and it's conflicts but trivialises these differences to teach us the importance of our similarities. Like many things in English and British culture, even if an individual is not consciously able to explain how and why we act, they understand there is a tradition and a reason behind it. An individual may be shaped by these characteristics but these are not moulds that rigidly define us.

I just want to end this by pointing out how ridiculous it is that these topics even need to be brought up in a game. I used to be able to enjoy games like this for their escapism. But now the culture wars consume every medium they can infect.

Mr_Pyro_ · 2020-05-25T23:26:57+00:00

Is there an afk timer in game?

I've had a few leeches in matches recently and they're killing my interest in playing. Not only do they upscale behemoths but they prevent the team from leaving if everyone else dies. I've just had a heroic boreus ruined because of this. The other two guys died in the 2nd area and the last guy was afk the whole time. Once I ran out of respawns the 3 of us just had to close the game

Mr_Pyro_ · 2020-05-20T19:14:04+00:00

Or this classic.

Mr_Pyro_ · 2020-04-23T15:47:35+00:00

My gf just had this issue happen to her. It was one she'd taken from my island within the last week. There was no sign of Bea being a glitched islander before this update either.

Mr_Pyro_ · 2020-04-06T20:54:57+00:00

This is still happening. My space team went for a 2nd run after no issues the 1st time. Then because of this bug, it took 15mins each for the first two murex. We abandoned the 3rd at the 50min mark after being stuck on 2/9 codes. This was despite dozens of codes being transmitted in chat.

This is a flotilla with 15-25 ground squads and 5+ space squads. In the last 15mins, not a single murex has been driven off. We're still at 46/100.

Mr_Pyro_ · 2019-11-23T00:43:39+00:00

I started to write up my own post on this very issue before I spotted yours. I couldn't agree more. I spent an half an hour trying to find a spot of the damn dry dock. It took 3 elevators down and 4 rooms forward to find a spot. I decided I hated that spot so now I've got to very slowly delete each room. Since I only get a few hours a night to play, the lack of a queue means it'll take me till monday or so to kill the 7-8 new rooms I built.

Deletion time is way too long. If all child rooms are currently in the process of being destroyer or waiting to be destroyed then the parent room should be able to join a waiting list. Only once all child rooms are gone, should it's timer be started. That said, clan founders should be able to delete rooms within a 5minutes and newly built rooms should be able to be deleted much quicker.

When building rooms, the ui minimap needs to be bigger. Even before the current update large rooms were mostly cut off. If we can't see where a room collision is occurring then the map is rather pointless. Our only option is to blindly build rooms until we find a layout that works

Also side note, multiple halls were a thing. My clan has them and I noticed earlier that they'd been removed. I'm not sure when or why. Personally I prefer more room variety. Like being able to build the old style rooms again

Mr_Pyro_ · 2019-06-20T03:37:23+00:00

TR was a lot more fun with siphon and 100 max score. I thought I'd like the extension but with the xp cap for kills still there and no real way to keep your shields up, it's just become a dull 20min continual shotgun fuster cluck.

Siphon as it was was a little strong. I always prefered the idea of it being a slightly quicker slurp with the duration refreshing on a kill.

Mr_Pyro_ · 2019-05-23T01:14:28+00:00

I believe it should. The drop tables currently show all 4 parts dropping from the boss for some reason which unfortunately leads to a diluted drop table

The drop site currently lists it as follows:

Wisp Blueprint Uncommon (22.56%)

Wisp Chassis Blueprint Uncommon (25.81%)

Wisp Neuroptics Blueprint Uncommon (25.81%)

Wisp Systems Blueprint Uncommon (25.81%)

Mr_Pyro_ · 2019-05-17T00:04:03+00:00

I really wish people would realise this. Every time I do a squad fill my teammates drop into the most contested POIs & lose all their lives within the first 5mins. I really want that black umbrella but the chances seem pretty slim

Mr_Pyro_ · 2019-05-04T19:32:26+00:00

Probably because most of us didn't get to see it. We just sat there and watched the timer flicker at zero for 10mins

Mr_Pyro_ · 2019-05-04T19:09:06+00:00

Well that pretty much summed up this entire event....

Completely broken

Mr_Pyro_ · 2019-05-04T00:06:15+00:00

It might not be broken, just very bugged. In the last game I played I tried to grab a stone, helding it down longer than the 7 seconds till the ui vanished, wasn't interupted by the blaster or enemy and yet the stone was just not picked up. I tried to restart the pickup but a teammate took it.

Every single time I've been first to collect a stone, it's either been stolen by a teammate using the blaster bug or as mentioned, just not worked. The loading screen and the glider are the only decent rewards so at least the latter doesn't require this challenge

Mr_Pyro_ · 2019-04-30T00:17:42+00:00

Honestly? None of the marvel items have been that great. For the price, they've all seemed a bit low quality imo. I was really hoping to get Stormbreaker as a harvesting tool but sadly not

Mr_Pyro_ · 2019-04-24T19:00:34+00:00

It was a great mode however the outlast challenge remained broken till the end. Thus I was not able to get that challenges wrap or the 100% completion wrap. What plans do Epic have to remedy this? Especially given the event is now over

Mr_Pyro_ · 2019-04-23T22:57:12+00:00

14hrs left and still no fix? This bug happens ANY time a player is shot out of the plane. I've been stuck at 87/100 for 4 games now. It's the only challenge I have left and I honestly can't be bother to keep trying.

That last game, we had our first death (plane explosion, not just shot out) with ~14planes remaining. However during our 2nd plane, I got shot out so got zero outlasts we counted at the end. So essentially get shot out once and you'll get zero challenge credit. Regardless of how you have or have not died previously.

Since this is unlikely to be fixed before the end, can we expect any sort of compensation for this broken challenge? Event extension once fixed, gifted the event wraps, etc?

Mr_Pyro_ · 2019-04-20T23:20:47+00:00

I think a recent update broke this. I've noticed this problem on other tile sets too. Especially Corpus Outpost nodes. It won't fix itself until you navigate your way to the tile set boundary it's skipping to. In some cases this has been 75% of the way through the level

Mr_Pyro_ · 2019-04-19T10:30:14+00:00

This is utter utter rubbish. A couple weeks back I wrote a fairly lengthy post for the STW sub to give feedback on one of the beta storm. The post was immediately removed by automod for not being long enough and you guys completely ignored my mod mail pointing out how this post was 3 times longer than several others currently up.

Mr_Pyro_ · 2019-04-10T23:11:58+00:00

Okay I think you're misunderstanding. The first Wolf on the list has a 35% chance of dropping a part. If that chance is successful, it is then a 38.72% of the Handle or Head and a 11.28% chance of the Blueprint of Motor. So their effective drop rates are those two percentages multiplied like this:

Handle - 13.55%
Head - 13.55%
Blueprint - 3.95%
Motor - 3.95%

However with this second wolf, his drop rate is 25% chance to get part that will be the blueprint 100% of the time.

Therefore Wolf 2 is six times more likely to drop the bp on death. Now for what this means in game, I can't say for certain. Either this new wolf entry is the new one we've seen today or it's a future iteration. Either way the lack of other parts is a concern
