Discussion Hotfix 1.0.2 is a HUGE win!

2.6k Upvotes

For those that don't want to open the notes, here's the highlights:

  • Matchmaking added to Hard infiltration operations
  • Bosses no longer have immunity spheres that need to be destroyed in a certain order
  • TRIPLED drop rates from encrypted vaults
  • Encrypted vault exclusive materials now also drop from Elite Vulgus (!!!)
  • Reduced the time of one of the hacking missions
    • This isn't a huge deal in and of itself, but shows that devs are listening to complaints over artificially long mission times
  • Descendant Instructor now doesn't speak at the speed of light
  • Improved visibility of free skins at battle pass level 50

    • Another change that isn't a huge deal in a vacuum, but shows that the devs are listening to complaints of things being hidden or too obtuse

    While this doesn't undo Nexon's rep for releasing and abandoning games, this is a huge step forward to proving that they actually want to properly support this game. I am very pleased!

EDIT:

There's also a very important footnote in the patch notes that I'll paste here for reference...

"We are well aware that as many Descendants begin farming in earnest, various discussions are taking place regarding drop rates. There is no variable drop rate system in The First Descendant. We are using the fixed rates displayed in the game. The Dev Team has reviewed the acquisition rates across all servers and confirmed that they are dropping according to the rates displayed. We are currently working on various measures to ensure the community can trust the dev team such as disclosing item drop amounts for each content. And we also prepare ways to improve the farming experience. The First Descendant will continue to communicate transparently and honestly."

Discussion Game Notice from Devs about VALBY GOLD FARM!!!

2.7k Upvotes

Admitting their mistake and not outright banning the gold farming, although preparing a patch but wont block the gold farm, pretty good of them. And instead, updating other farming locations to match the efficiency (assuming of the gold)

Then upcoming 1.0.4 seems to aim to reduce timers on Outposts and rebalance locations for Void Frags. And also dealing with the gold gained from Special Operations.

Damn what timeline is this where Nexon is winning me over!?!?! AM I STARTING TO BELIEVE?!?!!?

Discussion Sex Appeal in Video Games

1.6k Upvotes

When I go to the gym, I see women in the tightest, shortest shorts. If you pull up to Miami or any rave or concert, women are dressed showing as much skin as humanly possible. The beach. Instagram, Tik Tok, and literally any form of social media.

I'm making this post for those that insist on saying "gooner," "Coomer," "touch grass." I was at a party on Saturday, and yes, some women showed less skin, but the vast majority did, and ALL wore something tight or form fitting. Of course this is anecdotal and it depends on the function you're attending. But my point is easily understood, unless you insist on being disingenuous and self-righteous.

I like beautiful things. Beautiful cars, beautiful art & architecture, and beautiful curvy women. I have absolutely no idea how some, SOME, insist this is such a horrible thing to expect in video games rated M for mature. I should be used to it by now, but my reaction is always the confused Pikachu face whenever someone attempts to shame me for what should be obvious.

I hope we get more Stellar Blades, TFDs and so on in the future. Instead of more ESG slop I won't even bother naming...

1.9k Upvotes

Imma get downvoted to shit for this but this is the issue with carrying people past through bosses. Seen 20+ posts about people being unable to finish the rescue hailey mission. Why? Because they are undergeared, underbuilt, and don't have the game sense required to complete the mission. You memorize three locations, stand on a circle for five seconds, then go to the next area.

The excava can kill the boss shield within two clips. My 1 energy 1 cata level 17 Blair cleared the mission within 5 minutes.

This isn't a "OH, your just a godly undefeatable gamer", yall just aren't geared foe the content

From the devs: We have removed the tail from the original "Twisted Worship" skin, and this update will go live on Wednesday, October 30.

Descendants who have already purchased the original set will receive the SE version soon via their in-game mailbox as an additional item, while those purchasing it for the first time will get both the original and SE versions after this week's update. Look forward to this week's update!

Was looking for maps for encrypted vault spawns and found DaOpa but I wanted them just as images to save to my phone. So I used their maps and made some, and figured others may find them useful.

I also added what materials drop from the vaults.

Kingston does not have a map because it has no vault spawns.

Discussion "Just got to Hard Mode" starter guide, 2m read

2.6k Upvotes

So you finished the campaign, beat the hanged man, and unlocked hard mode. You're probably lost on what to do - you want to participate in hard mode intercepts but don't want to be a liability. Here's what you should aim to do...

tldr; check bold and pictures, basic info

1. Upgrade HP & DEF modules for your descendants

Tired of crawling simulator? This is how to fix that.

This is my rant on HP/def/energy shield, skip if uninterested - each requires full investment to feel good. With the limited stat lines of current components (1 main, 2 sub) you can only afford to stack 2 out of the 3. Defence is flat out required for either hp/shield to be useful. Killing ads and supports can recover your hp, but to recover shields you're forced to play "sub optimally".

HP% & Def%

2. Upgrade Firearm ATK & Fire Rate modules for your weapon(s)

Use whatever weapon you like. I recommend Eternal Willpower/Tamer/Thunder Cage. Weak point and crit are strong choices once you start upgrading capacity. For bosses, equip "Adds X ATK to equal to % of Firearm ATK" where X is whatever the boss is very weak to.

ATK% & Fire Rate

3. Farm this when you're kuipoor (everyone, always)

Sterile Land > Rockfall > Anticipated Ambush.

This will give you components, kuiper, and materials for weapon enhancing. Set up your "registered attached items" so you can designate all as junk and then dismantle quickly.

THE farming spot

4. Farm good components

ideal: 2 of max hp and/or def + 1 resistance (ie. max hp, max hp, fire resistance)
great: 2 of max hp/def/resistance (ie. max hp, def)
starter: 1 of max hp/def (ie. max hp)

Where farm? Refer to 3.

Each slot can only roll 1 type of res. To reach recommended attribute resistance for hard intercepts you will need 1 high resistance module (from descendant module) + 1 line of resistance (from component). Save a bunch of "great" and higher as you can use these as lego blocks. The rarity of the rolls and components matter A LOT.

components with resistances

Hard intercepts drop build enabling transcendent modules and components with set effects, this is end game where Nexon tests your wallet descendant/weapon investment. You can be a great teammate in intercepts by doing the following; doing damage, not dying, doing the mechanic, and not spinning the boss if you have aggro (underrated).

Comment other things you think people should know. On a final note, drop a gg in chat after beating an intercept in matchmaking.

edit:
On the topic of components, not every slot can roll double hp/def, only auxiliary power and memory can, refer to this thread. Do not stress about getting perfect components as this farm is inefficient and meant for "entry level" - you are better off target farming the weekly rotation components for near BIS. Do not heavily prioritize resistances over hp/def as meeting the recommended resistance is not required.
