All ult chars maxxed (just need to get Viessa back to lvl 40 lol)

Just curious, why are you keeping both the Ult and regular versions? I disassembled all of my obsolete standard Descendants once I got their Ults to similar power levels, mostly to have available Descendant slots. Did I fuck up?

Just waiting to see if they revamp the system. 100k for a char just seems unreasonable.

New "Twitch Drops". I have heard of them before but I have no idea how they work. I guess you have to watch TFD streams for a total of 2 hours to get all of this stuff? Is it just through code redemption or do you link your account or how do they know you've watched it? I want that Freyna makeup skin. Starts on Oct 11th, by the way.

Ive done it every time so far. Pretty easy to do.

Basically you need to have your accounts linked together. If you go to the official TFD site and it will tell you exactly how, but I believe I linked my twitch account to my nexon account which was already linked to my PSN account.

Then you use that twitch account to watch any TFD streams that has the "drops" in the title for 2 hours.

Oh sorry its term I use for the two items.
Donuts = catalysts
Mushrooms = max energy

Honestly I dont even know the actual names of em lol. But they are shaped like those so yeah. The Mushrooms are like $30. Around there anyway. Im curious how often those are sold. All my money have been into the sexy outfits xD
i somehow knew it u ment those, but anyways those are so fast to farm ^^
 
Been fooling around with the game off and on, enjoyed it enough to stick with it and finally beat it on normal mode.
I might fool around with it some more trying to unlock a couple of descendants, might even buy the new character as I feel the developers deserve a sale from me.

Damn I'm still farming Executor dupes. My luck on the 32% drops is fucking abysmal. I got 11 Ult Lepic parts from the Sepulcher/Devourer AM, which is a 10% drop, just to put it into perspective.

Still now that I've cycled through some catalysts for the Executor, it's getting really strong already. Pretty much only usable for Colossi but I'm cool with that. My TC does just fine for all other content.

I'm eventually going to look at making a build for Ult Gley's skill 4 (the special gun), but I'm already spread pretty thin just keeping up on daily invasions and that web event, so I'm not gonna press myself and make me hate the game.

One piece of advice I'd offer is to max out your Bunny/Ult Bunny and a gun (probably Thunder Cage) ASAP before really getting into grind mode. I did it the other way around originally and just wasted so much time and frustrated the hell out of myself, unable to solo most content. Even if you don't care for Bunny, she really is night/day as far as being able to solo Hard mode stuff and do it efficiently. Stats/builds/mods really matter after Normal mode.

Yeah that’s what I did, Bunny and thundering cage all the way so far. Will be trying hard mode tomorrow.

Yea something tells me we're about to see a heavy influx of Freyna 'mains' in the game. I can't wait to try her new poison explosion build, but I didn't want to waste any more time with the Standard one with Ult coming out in a few days.

Day 6 or 7 now, still not a single duplicate Executor.

These 32% drops have got to be incorrect, or else my luck is so good that it Uno reversed me back to being bad luck again.

My friend always had trouble getting 32% parts; complaining when he got a 6% part again. I was the opposite. You are, what I like to call, one of those lucky arseholes.

For me it's always been the 20% one that I just couldn't get. Can't really complain though, got 3 energy activators in a row a few days ago:messenger_beaming:

Ult Freyna
New boss
400% difficulty infiltrations

Other little things, but most excited for the new boss. Yes, even over that ult booty xD

Full patch notes:

Sounds like enough people bitched about the exclusive backpacks and spawn effects, they're not making any more and working to make the existing ones usable for everyone:
# Director’s Comment
We accept the feedback from our Descendants regarding the exclusive spawn effects and back attachments in the previous Ultimate Bundles.
In response to this feedback, we have made the spawn effects and back attachments in the new Ultimate Freyna Bundle available for universal use.
Moving forward, we will apply the same principle to all spawn effects and back attachments in future releases.

Additionally, we are working on improving the exclusive spawn effects and back attachments from previous bundles to make them universally usable.
Once this improvement is complete, all previously purchased spawn effects and back attachments will also become universally available.

Thank you for your valuable feedback, and we will continue to strive to provide more satisfying service.

I'm really excited to try out new and improved Freyna. One of her new Ult mods sounds great for bossing (increased firearm attack and damage from poison skills, increased firearm crit when stacks are maxed out).

Executor is on hold until I farm Ult Freyna.
 
This is a solid patch.

The 400% is hilarious, I was worried the game wouldn't be able to push this many enemies limiting what they could do for the future, But they said fuck it. :messenger_tears_of_joy:

Great cosmetics. And although I won't buy any unless there's a sale, they're clearly popular which is always good for the health of a game.

The new robot shop seems pretty decent as well, some things on sale there I wasn't expecting.

If I wanted to farm kill count, regardless of drop/xp/any other consideration, what's the best location for fast numerous spawns? Normal mode would be even better, but isn't necessary, just due to how fast things die.

Any of the operations, the ones with the 10 waves and not the 30 wave ones, and also 400% hard mode infiltrations.
 
I finally broke down and bought the Ultimate Bunny pack,
I don’t plan to pay for any more char unlocks though, just wanted her so I can farm more efficiently.

I ended up googling it for a while and found a pretty good spot. Fortress Outskirts mission in White Night Gulch. you just run up and activate all 4 pylons and enemies spawn endlessly until all 4 are "captured". You don't have to stay on the platforms so you can just run around and blow stuff up. I got like 3500 kills in about 20 mins there, if I recall. I did Normal mode so they die faster since I was using an underpowered Ajax for Tech Skill kills.

I haven't had any particular issues with it yet. But I only usually chat when there are talkative people farming an outpost that I'm farming, which is not often. I was talking to a dude yesterday though and never hit any banned/censored words.

Loving this patch so far. As disappointing as the first part was, this one added some awesome new stuff. Especially the 400% dungeons and the new colossus are awesome. Spect my bunny full shield and having a blast playing her as a support character. The new vendor was also a good addition. Haven't even unlocked Ultimate Freyna yet

It's probably a bug, and also a prediction of the future.
Its confirmed bug yeah. Im on their official discord, and buncha ppl reporting it. Entire languages have been banned. Like can't type any word at all.

Mod popped in and said devs already aware of issue and will resolve sometime.

cant even PM to anyone i rly hope they fix it soon :D
From what peek peek mentioned above, entire languages are banned right now due to bugs, so just wait a few days I'd imagine.

*edit*

Got all the drops needed for maxing out my Executor finally, and got Freyna's code within an hour from my last Executor drop.

Looks like they're releasing the Reactor update they talked about on October 30th. Making it essentially so you can have 3 "specs" per reactor and switching weapons won't automatically gimp your skill build. Defense missions are going to be much faster and more densely populated with monsters now, they want it to be the defacto place to farm weapon proficiency. The director also talks about PS5 Pro enhancements and some bug fixes/small updates.



Also got my last piece for Ult Lepic, so that was the last piece and I now own all Ult Descendants. Those 32% drops are fucking killer for me, I've had such better luck with 6% and 10% drops...

Gonna work on making a maxed out Fallen Hope for my new shiny Ult Freyna. Going to try her new firearm build, so I'll need that along with her new exclusive Ult mod. Between her excellent AoE trash clearing now, if her Firearm build can do well vs. bosses, I will be very happy as a Freyna main. Love how her Ult form makes enemies pop when they die, it's very satisfying.

Dont sleep on Enzo! Recently finished building him out fully, and hes an absolute monster for the newest collossus. Strong DPS, helps team with support, AND basically unkillable using his shield build.
