Kind of annoying how they're not giving Valkyr Prime different abilities, though, considering that Valkyr's current state is supposed to be a direct result of Salad V's experiments.

They're already making two new frames atm, three would be worse for all of them.
Also, it could just be he made them worse.

[BlackFlyme]

Spear-gun is here. Javlok spews fireballs, and explodes when thrown. Get the parts from Grineer Prostitutors Prosecutors, and research it in the Chemlab. Or buy it in the market.

Event for today only. Snowball fight in Conclave. Your loadout consists only of your frame and new and unique winter-themed throwing daggers and spear-scythes.

Oh yea, and there's an ugly-ass new skin for Kavats. Ever wanted a degenerate Hyekka instead of our current regal (sometimes) cat-beasts? Because that is literally what is on offer.

[BlackFlyme]

Another update, with a new frame. Nidus is an infested frame.

Also new quest, and two new infected weapons. One's a rifle to be researched in the Bio Lab, and the other can be built from Kogake for our newest Sparring-type melee weapon.

Also, the rifle requires 5,000 Mutagen samples for research. No, that's not a typo. Contribution requirements are getting a bit much, DE.

Especially when Mutagen Samples drop in one place in the whole goddamn galaxy. I've been running Distillers for 2 weeks in Eris and haven't gotten a single one yet.

Is that in ghost clan research amounts, or higher?

[BlackFlyme]

Yea, that's Ghost clan numbers. Sorry, should have specified. Javlok needs 1,000 Detonite Ampules as well. Again, that's just as a Ghost.

Also, trolls abound in the new quest. It's the Index's kill-and-cap game mode again, but you have to win by no more than a specified amount of points. Assholes wait until the last minute to dump 20+ points in to guarantee a fail.

Even one point over the margin fucks you, because the AI can't play for shit. You could go solo, but the specters you get play even worse than the enemy.

The new Nidus farm spot/mission type is a bit shit, too. It's like a Defense mission with three nodes to defend, mixed with survival in that you are reliant on enemy drops to sustain the three nodes. Nidus parts have around a 14% chance to drop on Rotation C, meaning four rounds to get a chance to win a part, while we also have a much higher chance to win garbage like Common-type mods or up to 80 Endo. Apparently this mission is a part of the Jordas Verdict Trial that was just clipped out into its own mission type, despite that every part of the JV Trial is still (supposedly) bugged to shit in ways that literally prevent you from completing it, with some of these still in the mission. Stuff like enemies not dropping anti-serum or not even spawning at all.

One good bug that came out of this is that if someone leaves at the end of a rotation, it gives tricks the game into skipping a rotation, giving you a free reward. Sometimes destroyed consoles will still work as well, so long as you keep feeding them serum.

I got all Nidus parts through sheer dumb luck. I'll never touch this mission node again. Unless they take out some of the trash rewards. It's a really good source of relics, but getting 80 Endo after four rounds, or a damned Common mod, is really grating.

Nidus himself, on the other hand, is incredibly fun, and very powerful. He can actually snowball, and is viable late-game. I hope they go back and make older frames more viable.

[BlackFlyme]

Bumping. People may have noticed a form of Space Aids going around. It's because of Nidus, and a special interaction he has in the infested room of our Orbiter.

It grows, and reaches max size after about a week. Here's what you do with it:

Spoiler: In case you don't want to be spoiled (click to show/hide)

Drain it to incubate a infested Charger pet.

It's just a regular Charger, scaled down. I know we were promised a Charger pet a while back, but I can't help feel a little disappointed. It's just an infested Grineer Charger mesh on top of a Kubrow's skeleton. Because that's totally a thing that can come out of an egg and make sense, little grineer face and armour and all. It also lets you use Kubrow cosmetics, which don't fit on it properly, and makes Kubrow noises. Devs have confirmed that this is intended.

[Aklyon]

They also mentioned they'll probably fix up the model after the holidays.

[BlackFlyme]

I hope so.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Seeing a zombified, mutilated 40k-esque space nazi clone go bork is very confusing.

Plus everything about the thing seems rushed. Typos and incorrect images and such.

[Tnx]

Just came back to this game for about a week now, after playing it for a month back in 2014.  Right now holding off on buying plat until I get a 50 or 75 off coupon.  Can anyone on here spot me 24 platinum so I can get some more weapon slots? (I've been leveling weapons to 30 and it feels so bad to sell them after).  I'll give back the platinum when I get a coupon to buy a platinum package.

Also, do we have a B12 clan?  Or what clan are most people in?

[Insanegame27]

I dunno if I've got 12 for a pair of weapon slots, but I do have some plat.


Out of curiousity, what did you do with the 50(?) you started with?

[Tnx]

I had bought one extra frame slot and the rest weapon slots. 

[cerapa]

I could give you 24 if you still need it. Bought a bunch with a 75% off coupon a while back. So I can afford to loan some out.

On a similar note, does anyone have a Rage they are willing to part with? Valkyr is really fun, but running out of energy sucks.

[Mookzen]

Should I try this game?

[cerapa]

I'd say so. It's a bit grindy, but the gameplay is fun.

It's free, so you don't lose anything by trying it out.
