It actually is really easy, but like I said, some people just die like crazy regardless. Haven't failed a round yet, but I've come awfully close because someone's AFK or just playing terribly.

So I remembered that we have event going on. Since internet is place where we go to hear and respect opinions of others, I'll share mine:

- It's interesting break of pace, I have to say. Reminds me of time when I demoed Unreal Tournament (against bots of course, because I'm a fucking pussy). It didn't blow my mind, but couldn't find anything wrong with it either. Variety is always nice.

- Of course we couldn't go without obligatory bullshit enemies. In this case it's jetpack chick with her seeking missile barage. It's only possible to dodge it in extremely specific scenarios and will probably shit out few of them, even if you kill her timely, just to spite you. Fact that her actions overwrite burn panic, is extra layer of salt over beautiful cheesecake.

- Sniper is pretty brutal on the large map. Getting in her line of sight is pretty much instant death there.

- Despite what patch notes say, damage of drones hasn't changed. Reducing damage to 1% may sound like a mega nerf, but if it does over 100% of your health per second before and after, there is practically no change.

- Executioners look like garbage - hastiliy grabbed pre-existing models with some random kibble thrown on them. This is Shadow Debt all over again. Looks so cheap, it makes me want to throw a buck in Steve's hat. Compare these clowns to Drahk or Hyekka masters! Difference in quality is obvious and frankly startling.

- Also, Suda called me after first few missions. She seemed to be passive agressive and kind of jealous, which makes her yandere, which in turn makes her very cute.

I just thought it was a good event.

Kela brought some good bantz, progress was good and not mind-numbing (we didn't go for the mods), story was decent.

I'd say the weakness of the event was the "First to shoot wins" element with certain executors. The low-effort units aren't really a surprise for an event so it doesn't bother me much.

The non-event that was the choice with the coordinates annoyed me somewhat. Doesn't feel like we did anything other than whack a bunch of mentally challenged Grineer, including a high-functioning sociopath with an obsession with balls.

Finished with Kela. Her stage kills my framerate, so I can't say I enjoyed her fight despite solid mechanics there. I do have to say, I liked how devs tought me to shoot buttons before fight's proper beginning. With plenty shoddy combat mechanics in Warframe, that was pleasant surprise.

Thankfully I got 3000 mastery points on first try and, since I don't care about mods, I'm done.

Also, do you know what other syndicates say after returning coordinates to them? Meridian are their usual good cowboy selves. I heard Suda and Loka win prize for the most evil syndicates around.

I heard from my brother that Suda is unambiguously going to analyze the defectors, and the analyzing is lethal (paraphrased).

New Loka says they want to judge the purity of the defectors, something that Kela cannot judge in their opinion because she's super impure. The survival of the defectors is nebulous. The defectors are going to be purified, and that purification will kill some of them, but survival (and purity) is possible for the Grineer.

Compared to Meridian, that's pretty dark. What we we can learn from this is that PETA activists and robots make for psycho girlfriends. Make a right choice, Tenno - date cancer patients!

while we're on the subject, the arbiters of hexis wanted to put them on trial and administer punishment accordingly, saying something about how "old war crimes won't be forgotten" or something like that, i didn't hand the rebels to them though ( igave them to meridian) so i don't know the actual outcome if you did.

I was tempted to give coordinates to Suda just for lulz. But... it felt kind of wrong. Suda's intentions were no secret. And... and after all that fighting I... I... wished for, ugh, happy ending. It was... it was... was...

IT WAS RIGHT THING TO DO

hnnnnnnnnnnnghhh

Im sorry! I have failed you, Urobuchi-sensei.

I had a stroke of conscience and delivered them to Steel Meridian, even though my main standings are with Loka and Perin, after all it was Steel Meridian that contacted me to rescue them.

I didn't really care whose standing I got, so I went with Steel Meridian.

What, the bunch of you went with Meridian?

Is NO one else pure? Or really, siding with anyone other than Steel?

I sided with steel because I'm working for them anyways, and suda already has me at max rank so getting 10k suda standing is easy as hell.

Sorry, not a Space Nazi here. Hexis/Suda/Meridian/Veil5eva. (Handed them over to our lovable AI friend, BTW.)

yeah, was never able to stomach new loka, and the perrin are weak.

Also, I've got a spare harkonar scope if anyone needs one, I'll trade it for a medi-beam :)

I have a spare Medi-beam! In-game username is Alaki.

Awesome! I've sent a friend request in game :)

I seriously underestimated Harkonar Scope. I used to think snipers in general were rather underwhelming, but a basically free 2x damage multiplier with my Snipetron Vandal is immeasurably useful.

Update 18.11.0 released!

A new assault rifle was released (Stradavar) and 4 frames received new augments:

• Ash: Deal finisher damage on the target when using teleport.
• Banshee: Range, damage and energy cost of the ultimate increased over time.
• Chroma: Allies keeps the effect of elemental ward for the remaining duration even after leaving the range of the ability.
• Oberon: Allies under the effect of Renewal will receive 50% their max health if they take fatal damage. Cooldown of 90 seconds on the effect.

Don't forget, loki prime is vaulting the 17th!

I honestly havent done anything with any syndicate. I just have a friend and his brother who give me the weapons. XD I dont know if I should feel cheap or not XD Telos boltor and akbolto, synoid simulor, and I'm going to get the sancti tigris too. worthy replacement for my tigris

Nothing wrong with that, as long as you don't mind being dependent of other people to get your equipment and you don't care about character building.

Devstream 74 overview.

Nothing came up that I particularly cared about.

Vauban is receiving an expansion on his Bounce, so that's good for him.

Oberon's WIP is to be-friend wildlife and make allies out of them... Please god no...

Oberon on Earth:

Kubrows.

Kubrows everywhere.

Watching the video left me with the impression that the grenades will turn defense missions into a stooges festival of slapstick comedy.

Ooooo, Vauban buffs.

Personally I find that way too situational. I guess it's better on a cost-less passive than an ability tho...

Not much of buffs, but at least it's right on the shitty spot.
