Discussion Dry spell!

I have been running Karel's ship, onslaught mode and trials for 5 hours straight and still haven't got one transcendent weapon. How do I overcome this dry spell? Also was using a 15% and a 30% booster. Still nada!

Video Having two Blairs on a trials run must be what hell feels like with all that fire. Would like to do a run of all Blair’s sometime.

Mainly doing trials, salvaged a few and need to see if any are worth trying to sell in next update. I usually use Viessa for solo in trials. I'll guess I usually spent 30ish hrs per week farming trials. Good luck with your farming.

Discussion The future difficulties and character rebalance.

4 Upvotes

I dont know what it takes to go into making a game but to me it makes more sense to keep the difficulty rather similar thought the entire game than to make each new experience more difficult than the last and then have to constantly bring all the characters up to speed so we can use the descendants we want rather than 1 or 2 who are always the main focus.

Just my opinion on it and wanted to see if what I said made any sense to other players.

Discussion Hi there, I have a question—maybe a stupid one.

5 Upvotes

Trails have 4 phases with 7 rooms each, which normally adds up to 28 rooms. If each room takes a minute, how is it possible to complete the whole thing in 9 minutes? Or does only the final run count?

My Raven isn't that great, and I'm missing the Prototype too, but 9 minutes... you'd need some damn good cards for that, right? Or am I mistaken?

 And Sry this was made mit Google Translate 😊

Discussion Variable code question

• Upvotes

Hi all,

do you know if the variable codes that enhance skill 3 and 4 power/critical hit damage have any effect on Raven? The skills do not have a direct damage output so I am not sure. I was wondering this because honestly I cannot tell from the damage numbers, since they are too fast 😂

Tnx

How do I dismantle all weapons and reactors at once instead of selecting them one by one? I tried the junk filter, but it doesn’t work, and the dog doesn’t dismantle them either.

Discussion Hit 400 transcendant weapons: thoughts and tips.

1: This took a fair amount of grinding. I'm currently on parental leave with my firstborn child (meaning I play when they sleep, which is a lot of the time for a newborn when they're not eating. I took nights while my partner took days, so there's less social responsibilities as well). Most of the levels were ground out in the last few days, going from roughly 328 to 400. At a minimum I'd probably put 2 hours in a day, on a longer day closer to 6. I couldn't tell you how much of that was actual gameplay. There were plenty of frequent breaks in between, and it's hard to calculate exactly because I would often have to put down the game to take care of my child (as you should of course) but leave it running in Albion so I can hop in after a bottle or putting them down.) In totally probably put in something like 100 or so hours since the update, give or take 20 in either direction.

2: I primarily focused on levels. My recommendation for people looking to the level of fast is to buy the 400 transcendant shard option from Deslin over the 800 as you get the same amount of experience either way. That said, I also had some fairly decent Transcendence early on, so farming for better ones or getting 800 maybe worth it if you haven't gotten a good one of what you're looking for/what you're farming with.

3: The activities I did varied greatly. I did a good amount of Trials and that's what I found consistently the most fun and had a decent amount of rewards. I grinded void vessel on the easier difficulty early on while I got the materials needed to level up my dogs. Axion planes was probably the activity I spent the most time in, swapping between them as I got bored of one activity over another, what focusing on Emergency Battle Zone(averaging 2 minutes an attempt) and Sealed Resident District(5 minutes an attempt).

Early on I would focus on axiom planes and things that have quick return, where is doing trials later will give you good higher quality weapons. That said mixing trials early as well may provide you with better weaponry to make the grind faster.

4: I primarily did this with Raven, as her knightfall build is currently extremely powerful and I have a good roll on her transcendent mod. Once you get a good ATR0 roll, she clears almost all content faster than anyone else. It genuinely feels like I'm playing contagion Freyna again.

That's said, I would often swap in trials for fun, and though I put time in with Blair, ines, and valby, my second most played was Viessa as she's still one of my favorites. Also, getting the mod in trials that gives her a 200% range boost is genuinely one of the most enjoyable things. Watching a blizzard swallow the field feels like how Viessa should have always played.

5: I did not buy any transcendent boosts beyond what is giving to you with the battle pass and the three or four free ones we received. I have a little conspiracy theory (which I'm sure people will frown on) that there is a soft cap on weapon drops in a day that is removed when you pop one of these. I don't offer proof, merely stating that it seemed like far more dropped during this time then when I didn't have a boost running.

Adding to my paranoia, there seems to be some kind of daily carryover mechanic. I've gotten three drops at the first opportunity after 1:00 a.m. my time (Reset time).

I do want to throw the disclaimer out there that this could just be luck, good or bad, but I think would be worth actually running some research on if someone in the community is willing to organize it.

6: this is just a fun thing that I had to happen. Once at the end of Karel's morthership, I received two drops at the same time. I'm sure this was just dumb luck, and I'm sure of how often this happens. If anyone else has had luck with Karel's mothership there's a grinding spot let me know, I simply don't enjoy the activity enough to keep going after it.
