Pun? What pun?

What I found mental is that a joke title was accepted for an update. The previous ones are all serious and stuff, like the Silver Groves.

The Vacuum Within was already hotfixed.

Now Vacuum is a precept that all Sentinels can equip.

I'm not sure I ever saw DE backtrack so fast.

While it wouldn't be difficult to code short-notice, that feels like a back-pocket plan they had ready in case the shitstorm over the decreased range was too furious.

Well, if the idea is to make other sentinels more useful, having a tiny vacuum range wouldn't cut it. The whole point of vacuum is to not have to step on every single bit of loot, no?
With update, though, I think I have a reason to Forma Helios now.

Warning, extremely NSFW concept art of the next Deluxe Skin of Frost and Chroma.

The skins are not actually NSFW, they are only very sexy.

Equally NSFW model of Ash's Deluxe Skin.◊

Today we have two Gift of the Lotus alerts, one of each tater.

Baro also came in today, he carries the equivalent of last week and this week's hauls because of the Ddo S attacks last time.

Lots of exciting stuff on the table today!

On my personal end, I got my first ever Legendary Core! Praise be praise be! Thanks to this core, I now have a maxed Primed Heated Charge.

All of my yes to those images!

Here is the official overview of the Devstream for those that want to see more than the new Deluxe Skins.

I got a Zhuge with damage boost, speed boost, multishot, and 30% explosive chance. Why did I ever use any other guns?

30% to explode mods are kinda crappy against everything of level 25ish and higher, FYI — the damage doesn't scale.

Finally got a Constitution mod. Question is: Is it worth keeping?

If you want to maximize power duration and don't have the corrupted mod and you can afford to slap it in a mod slot without loosing other critical area, sure.

But you can ditch it as soon as you get another power duration mod.

Or just stack it with (Prime) Continuity to offset the penalty for Fleeting Expertise. Granted, this will cost you another Forma or two, but totally it's totally Worth It for any energy hungry frame that also demands duration such as Saryn.

I use Constitution *on top* of Narrow Minded and Continuity on my frames that want duration, like Nova.

Constitution's use really stems from being a duration mod that isn't one of the other duration mods, for when you need to stack that stat. The mod is good, but as you progress you might not have room for it in your build, depending on your priorities.

So how do you join the tvtropes clan?

You ask ~Question Marc for an invite.

Pretty much. I'll need your IGN to actually send an invite.

So, how bout that Index?

Its kind of fun, but I'm not a fan of the fact that it sort of punishes you for actually playing with other people. Like with low and mid investment everyone can theoretically make the personal score, but that's not possible in high. And honestly, I doubt it'll happen often in the other two either, because one or two players are probably gonna end up hogging all the points anyways.

Playing it solo fills your team with warframe specters but their AI isn't great so its not much competition. And the brokers aren't anywhere near as tough as the executioners.

Just got through the Index event.

At best it was quirky, at worst it was the most obnoxious experience I had to date. The endurance run with level 160+ enemies was just so annoying, enemies one-shot you constantly and you can't do anything about it because of the handicaps.

Not a challenge I enjoyed.

Yeah, I kind of spoke too soon when I said the brokers weren't as tough as the executioners. I had stupidly assumed since going to a higher risk investment didn't increase the level of them, that that was it. Hahaha how wrong I was.

The Endurance level gets higher when you drop the "investments" on the bank, so my team and I got as much as we could and dropped them in at once, we got 74 points doing that, then we had to spend the rest of the time mobbing one or two Brokers to get his points till we made 100.

It was more annoying than challenging, if Tigris Prime and Ak Stiletto Prime weren't so horribly OP I'd have some issues taking them down.

Still even the mods in that event aren't worth to farm.

Just letting everyone know we're getting a double credit week end this week end!

Time to pile up riches!

Got my first kavat. It only took 159 scans and since I got only one genetic sample every two missions I'm looking at something like 300 derelict runs. And scanning kavats (even with Heliocor) is fucking annoying with little shits jumping left and right. Thank god I didn't got the bright idea to power farm those corner pissers else I would go insane.

On the bright sight my kavat looks better than Marc's abomination.

Jesus that sounds physically painful. I got tired of running after cats REALLY fast and bought their material in the shop.

Coincidentally, I give my cats Ki'Teer's special potato bag now, so I don't have to see their ugly mug regardless of face type.

There's much easier way to find and scan kavats: abuse Oberon's passive. You can get 1-3 codes almost every run that way if you have all the widgets for the synthesis scanners.
