[Is there really a massive proc nerf just around the corner?]

What you and @skoryy are saying is that I can only enjoy the game is a semi-solo it. I don't play this game just solo, there are other games for that. I want to enjoy the team aspects too.

It's time to let go of your scrub mentality. Perhaps git gud instead.

[Good News. New Players. Bad news. Teams suck.]

I do not think I have ever run a Lady Grey that was NOT a speed run.  It is so confusing!  I still feel "unsure" in the hostage mission.

You only need to free Infernia and Glacia.

 

1. Find and free Infernia, which will spawn Glacia somewhere on the map.

2. Find and free Glacia, which will spawn the boss Dra'Gon.

3. Defeat Dra'Gon.

 

Sometimes the mish will fail if Infernia and/or Glacia is killed (I think), but that's pretty rare and doesn't really matter.

 

Edit: I jumped on test to record the mission, if that makes it clearer:

 

[Focused Feedback: Storm Blast]

I ran a 1-life Aeon SF to test my shoddily built Storm Blast/FM blaster against a bunch of annoying bosses, EBs and AVs.

 

Final thoughts:

- Direct Strike is glorious!

- It's very fun once everything is set up properly and the procs start going off

- The lack of a proper nuke makes it hard(er) to play aggressively

- Will probably feel slow on most teams

- Looks like it might suit Corruptors better than Blasters

 

Spoiler

 

 

[Focused Feedback: Storm Blast]

Late to the party, but I jumped on test today and made a Storm Blast/Fire Manip blaster. Soloed two Citadels and a Manticore at +0/x6 with a subpar build I made without Mids.

Right now I'm pretty happy with the set. The min/maxer in me is pretty whelmed, but that might change once Mids is updated. However, the set is super fun to play (which is the most important part IMO). I don't think I'll grow tired of smiting foes with Direct Strike. 😄

 

I recorded my second Citadel run, if anyone's interested in how Storm Blast might look in regular, easy content.

Disclaimer: Bad audio in mission two, bad build and plenty of bad decisions lol.

 

 

[Sins of the Devs are visited upon the players]

This is getting weird asf. 😄

I have questions:

1. Is calling a spade a spade the same as calling for nerfs and/or telling people not to do it?
2. Who are these people who "roar the terrible roars, gnash their terrible teeth..." etc.?
3. Has the melodrama peaked or is Sanguinesun just getting started?

[Focused Feedback: Sonic Attack Revamp]

I did some pylon testing with an Electrical Affinity/Sonic Attack defender. Same build on Brainstorm and Live.

 

Incarnate stuff:

- Alpha: Agility Core Paragon

- Interface: Degenerative Radial Flawless Interface

- Judgement: Slotted but unused

- Destiny: Barrier Core

- Lore: Banished Pantheon Core Superior Ally (summoned)

- Hybrid: Assault Radial Embodiment (slotted but not toggled)

 

=--------------

Live:

01:29.00 - 89s

01:22.60 - 82.6s

01:17.73 - 77.73s

01:31.91 - 91.91s (Had to heal a pet because of the dropship)

 

Avg: 01:25.31 - 85.31s

 

=--------------

Brainstorm:

01:21.11 - 81.11s

01:15.94 - 75.94s

01:06.06 - 66.06s

01:02.78 - 62.78s

 

Avg: 01:11.47 - 71.47s (Fuck Mids paper tigers, it's all about DPA, baby!)

 

=--------------

 

I have another build on Brainstorm that is even faster. Siren's Song is amazing now.

 

My first attempt was without Lore pets, but that took too long lol. Perhaps someone with a better suited build (cold, kin, poison, storm etc.) could do some testing.

There's a pretty big difference between the slowest and fastest time on Brainstorm. Maybe I got better (doubt it) or there's some Lore shenanigans at work. I don't really do pylon testing.

 

=--------------

 

Edit: I felt bad about the 01:31 time on live, so I ran one more. New numbers below:

 

Spoiler

Live:

01:29.00 - 89s

01:22.60 - 82.6s

01:17.73 - 77.73s

01:31.91 - 91.91s (Had to heal a pet because of the dropship)

01:11.46 - 71.46s

 

Avg: 01:25.31 - 85.31s

Avg: 01:20.2 - 80.2s

 

 

[Focused Feedback: Sonic Attack Revamp]

This read like a nerf to me, so I decided to remake my Elec/Sonic defender on Brainstorm. After visiting the walls in Cimerora I definitely agree with Crasical; chaining the cones together is smooth as butter and a joy. The set definitely plays and feels better with the reduced animations and cooldowns.

 

Whether it's a nerf or not I can't say, but it's now much more fun to play IMO.

 

Edit: Trick Arrow/Sonic Attack is fun!

[Excelsior MSR and Hami raid times?]

That cannot be all that is planned. Everlasting has half the population and three times as many raids. That is about what Indom has planned.

[Excelsior MSR and Hami raid times?]

Use the calendar.

[uk time players]

I think a lot of EU players have migrated from Reunion to Excelsior (me included). Definitely worth it in my opinion, if you like to team and participate in end-game content.

[Pylon Damage Thread]

I finally decided to stop lurking and to test my main (all-arounder Ice/Cold corruptor), which is mainly specced for +recharge and +def.

 

Ice/Cold Corruptor:

Alpha: Agility Core

Interface: Degenerative Radial

Judgement: Cryonic

Destiny: Clarion

Lore: Banished Pantheon

Hybrid: Assault Core

 

Results:

~2:50: Inactive hybrid, degen IF, no judgement.

~2:41: Active hybrid, degen IF, no judgement

~1:01: Active hybrid, judgement and lore used.

 

Could definitely be better if specced properly, but I was pleasantly surprised tbh.

[What about a Redside week... month... whatever?]

What the hell is even going on in this thread?

 

OP: Hey, why don't we meet up and play some redside con-

Others: Redschide content? Nooo, I hate redschide!

OP: Well, maybe this isn't for you. I'm just trying to gather a few-

Others: Nooo, you can't forche me! I refusche! Here'sch fifty paragraphsch of me telling you why I refusche!

 

I think a "Be Bad Week" sounds great, OP. A week every month, where we (*gasp* no, not you! Heavens, no! We -- the sometimes  -- redside players) put some extra effort into forming teams and events redside instead of blue. Unfortunately, I play during EU-times, but I'm still willing to do my part.

In case you missed the post by SuperPlyx (surprisingly buried beneath the unending shitposts from the usual suspects): Check out the ourodev-wiki.

If you have a fairly modern PC, you should be able to run a small server by yourself.
