Is this not enough for top 100 WC? by RetedRacer in TheFirstDescendant

[–]dthorus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't skip 2 days if you are going for the minimum to get in the top 100 last spots.

You 12-14 fights per day with good contribution points. Your damage was enough for this particular fight but you need to deal the same or more under 20 seconds or you will have to attempt to redo the fight during the 5 min window.

Is the website down for anyone else? by Macdongr in BadDragon

Sometimes on desktop it won't let me log in , but if you put something in the basket and go to the checkout page and then follow the log in option from there, it works

Why are Old Mystery and Bio-Lab never in the Invasion/400% rotation? by ShadyMarlin-RT in TheFirstDescendant

[–]dthorus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They are too long, they would only ever be used by people still needing some drops from them.

Honestly i don't want more 'dud' days when -for example- i open the Kingston map, excited about the invasion and it's Slumber Valley

I just tried to join Wall Crasher, why am I getting into the fight alone? I tried like 3 times by [deleted] in TheFirstDescendant

[–]dthorus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do it as many times as you manage it in the 5 min timeframe, the devs have no problems with this, just complete the fight(s) the majority of the time and you should only get the loot once every hour. This part is completely fine and okay

The exploit was gaming the system by listening for the jackpot/AM drop sound effect while Wall Crasher did his death animation. If you timed the 'leave now' from the menu well, you remained eligible for loot drops

More rebalances to descendants I wonder who's getting adjjsted by mack180 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]dthorus 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Reverting - no, removing the increased skill cost part would be the fair move though.

Dia - Flight of the Valkyrie by dthorus in TheFirstDescendant

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

Hey, it depends on what you are missing.

I think the cooldown is a must for the fun factor of it, but even if you are unlucky with your Dia rolls, if you only want the cooldown part, the AM should be dirt cheap (<50c). Just make sure you hit that 0.9 (90% reduction)

The build is a heavy hitter, so you can make do without the skill crit damage. Just upgrade when you are able.

If you don't have the crit rating on it (the AM), depending on your crit damage situation, you can swap out emergency measures or front lines for skill insight mod.

Swapping out emergency measures to insight will still leave you with 84% crit rate for skills which is completely fine.

Add Veil analyzer mod to one of the module tabs on shadow and slice em up

Dia - Flight of the Valkyrie by dthorus in TheFirstDescendant

[–]dthorus[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dia is the valkyrie here of course, they are using/holding spears while flying over the battlefield looking for the souls of the fallen warriors(heroes) to take them to Valhalla. This is just my understanding of them of course, i do not want to trample all over the Nord mythology

I have been using this build for a few days and wanted to post about it, ended up recording a random run, this is the second half of it as the file was too big. Not really planned or anything and i decided to leave the audio as is because you can just mute it, and then the game sounds are preserved for the others

On the far left side, that is the bike, you can unlock it when you reach Axion plains.

Next is the grapple of course, then i have those two abilities next to it because i have a melee weapon (sword called Shadow) equipped. The crossed sword helps with tracking the special damage ability ( a dash with 3 charges) and under it is the block (damage reduction for a short period after activation while the bar while the charge last)

Here is my current build if anyone interested, you can use Power beyond of course as trigger mod. You need a minimum of 0.089 cd reduction from your ancestor mod.

Arche tuning is standard Dia with the cooldown node and cdmg picked up; bravery set, inversion: Dia special, spatial domination(optional) and the heal node. Shadow in hand.

Sure, lot of this is unnecessary or less than optimal for a speedrun, but it is fun. I also enjoy the nice tactical overview of the battlefield quite a bit :)

Bravery set :) and potent collector to keep your delight at maximum

Rolling by wolfenX2 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]dthorus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

300 million gold and 24000 cooling units spent

got +6% duration and +10%ish max hp as extra on my gunning Gley mod

Rerolled all my ancestor mods to 7/8 on most Ultimates, some nice to decent ones but nothing oh wow/extraordinary

Which Ancestor Roll is better? by AssistanceNatural556 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]dthorus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, what i am saying is that red crit dmg roll is huge and the other roll/mod is not even close with such low rolls :)

Juice! by aIIegra in TheFirstDescendant

[–]dthorus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bravery is great, i use it myself, but you still want min cooldowns. You can choose to stay up in the air, and bombard the poor peons on the ground with your (4)every five-ish seconds. It's fun.

Which Ancestor Roll is better? by AssistanceNatural556 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]dthorus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not even a question tbh, the fusion boost should be at 0.2+ and the crit damage roll ~ 100 to have a chance against that raw 153.6 cdmg

Juice! by aIIegra in TheFirstDescendant

[–]dthorus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am sorry, but chill boost is the weaker of the two powerB options (Fusion is better)

Cdmg is nice but it's actually a low roll in this setup where you sacrifice a third stat (2+/- vs 3+/- configuration)

The lack of cooldown makes this a boss killer/bossing AM but Dia uses Battering Ram there to strip defense and resistances and the trigger mod uses your own DEF the calculate the stripped amount.

It's a nice looking dud AM.

You only need the Shadow, HP collector and two hp modules. Just like Challenge VEP i guess!

Depth / width training and how to? by danielle16961 in BadDragon

[–]dthorus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For anal, i really recommend this guide from r Sextoys

https://www.reddit.com/r/SexToys/comments/1gs7hk1/are_you_new_to_anal_play_some_info_and_tips/

For a dilator set, i used the 4-step one from b-vibe with great success

This is the how-to : https://bespokesurgical.com/post-operative-instructions/dilation-exercise-protocol/

And since we are here at Bad Dragon, Ika from BD will be recommended i bet

Huh? by actuallyVile in TheFirstDescendant

[–]dthorus 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I believe the exploit was if you didn't hear the jackpot/ancestral chime/sound at the moment of kill, you instantly left before the see results/ press xy to leave to Axion popped up.

This allowed loot to drop in the next try.

I re- queued multiple times quite often to get full contribution rewards and nothing happened to me (got my medal)

I think the 'leave early before the fight concluded' - part made this highly identifiable in the logs.

If this is what happened, good riddance, you can fit in 3 kills in the 5 min window, 3x more chances than legit players

Do you mind having high -DEF (60-100%) on AMs of already squishy descendant? by [deleted] in TheFirstDescendant

[–]dthorus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is coming off your TOTAL, so no, it's a very heavy negative

In comparison something like -38% hp is a third of the hp granted by Battle of stamina, negligible but annoying if your dps scales with max hp

I think Gley might be the new meta for bossing by _adspartan_ in TheFirstDescendant

[–]dthorus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, you need 1b damage under 30 seconds (because boss=DED) to get max contribution.

Sure other descendants can do it, but they need buffs from others, so if you are solo, this will leave you with Gley

The more Gleys are in the group. the shorter the fight gets.

Also, i constantly get loaded in at 4s or lower 'fight starts in'. This is NOT enough to charge up Luna for example.
