Event is currently ground to a halt as far as progress goes. Nef tied it up this morning, and since then the current tiebreaker round (20 uncommon cores vs 50k credits) has been glacially slow yet in Nef's favor. Deathsnacks' site is estimating the round will last into tomorrow at the current rate (17 hours from now, specifically), and theres a tiny bit of talk about how the Strun Wraith's super simple access might've nuked some of the interest in the Karak Wraith.

BTW recommendations on killing 100 kubrows? It seems a mite difficult.

A good melee weapon that swings low. Obex did not work very well, my dragon Nikatana did. If you dont have a good melee weapon then I would go for a high damage power. When trying my obex did not work well, I just took out the groups with ash's bladestorm. Sayrn or any other frame with heavy damage powers should do the trick if modded well.

I originally used the Obex so I could hit the dens without destroying them and spawn some more. Also I would backtract on occasion and check any den I left behind and if they seemed out of spawns before it seems they would eventually start respawning after a few minutes. I got the first 100 in four missions, with the last two doing 35 and 40-something.

Interestingly, while tempo royale on scindo prime would just smash the dens in one go, hysteria left it with enough health to spawn more kubrow. But yeah, bring more people. Also bring a scanner if you want, you cna keep it equipped and use the quick melee key to attack if you are using the scanner to spot kubrow dens.

Also that event round from yesterday is still going. At this rate we'll get the dera vandal just due to stalling or slow progress, which would be silly but not terrible at all.

[frostshotgg]

And nobody who wasn't doing every single round in the first couple days of the event would be able to get one. Great work DE.

EDIT: At long last that round has ended. Now Alad is actually paying more.

[Aklyon]

Event is back in motion. 9-8 favoring nef, eta for the current node (50k vs 75k) is ~2 hours.

[frostshotgg]

There's an invasion on pluto with sweet rewards. Catalyst vs Reactor.

[marples]

Promo code DENOFKUBROW valid until the 18th. Gives four days of double credit rewards.

Alad won. Everyone who participated gets a free potato'd karak wraith.

On the bright side, it's an extra inventory slot and a free potato'd karak. On the downside, it's a karak.

Anyone participate in conclave? I find it a bit hectic. Especially free-for-all. It usually feels like I'm getting curbstomped regardless of which mode I try, and the maps get old fairly quickly.

So that was something, a nightmare intercept alert, no shield and level 40 grineer with quite a few exterminus appearing. So many deaths and requests for taxis to there.

[Aklyon]

What nightmare mod was it for?

[frostshotgg]

There were a couple today. There was a Wildfire, that was a defense I think. There was also a Fortitude, which was a brutal interception.

So, I need advice. Currently, I'm running a Nyx, but that's mostly for the Mastery. It feels so weak after slaughtering everything with Shock spam. I started with a volt, and absolutely love it, such that a volt prime is on the short list of things to go for. What frame should I get after I max Nyx? I was thinking Mag, as its prints are easily farmed and I'm pretty sure I have all the resources already, but I'm not too sure.

Edit: Nightmare Mod is available on earth right now.

[frostshotgg]

If you liked Volt for the 1 spam, I strongly recommend Oberon. His 1 is one of the most fun spammable nukes. Also, Ember, although she kinda sucks.

[Aklyon]

Oberon is great and I'd certainyl second him. You can spam 1, but also you have a heal (though it drains energy whether or not its helping, since the healbits have to reach everyone to help), and his 4 is a greatly entertaining radial slam with slight blind for nearby non-slammed enemies. And with Rage you can quickly build up for an emergency heal (or reckoning, but you should probably heal first imo.)

Mag mostly pulls enemies about in amusing (but still damaging) fashion and crushes them with the length of Crush's animation (or if you want to be meta, pulls everything, produces overshields occasionally, and sometimes crushes.)

[BlackFlyme]

Getting Mutalist Alad keys is a pain. I've done about a half-dozen runs so far, and only gotten the Mesa Helmet.

Would it be better to just trade all my junk prime parts and buy mesa in the market?

Farming mutagen samples is also difficult. Rarely seems to drop on Eris, though it isn't too bad in derelicts. With the affinity/resource booster in affect for the next little while, anyone who has been meaning to farm may want to take advantage of it.
