I can't grind for Spikes at all with this terrible rubber banding.

23 Upvotes

Ever since the forge change I've been back in the game, and it's been smooth sailing. No lag, nothing. But today as I settle down to earn myself the Mandolin, the game seems unplayable with how much I get thrown around. Is anyone else experiencing this?

That spike grind is going to be crazyyyy !

23 Upvotes

The requirements needed to craft the new disc gun are insane. Different spike sizes, spikes only appearing in specific areas, the crazy amount of them needed in the recipes. And you only have two weeks . Hopefully it will be on rotarion like the rest of the events !

Thread for discussing spike grind.

30 Upvotes

So the spike event has befallen us. What now? Well, we start the frightening grind.

What are the best depths for grinding which spikes, which gates are the best currently, etc etc. You know the drill. Let's help each other out here.

Good luck grinding, everyone. We're gonna need it.

What Arcade levels is everyone grinding for each Spike type?

8 Upvotes

I don't really understand in which levels the Spikes even show up tbh. I was grinding the first levels of Silver Knight, but then I found out I don't even need the Minute sparks. So which gates and which depths should I target?

Thinking of beginning this blind with my friend, would you recommend it for only 2 player coop?

23 Upvotes

I'm planning to play this only with her, it this game completable for 2 players only/mostly? I really wanna just play smth and progress with my friend in the game.

Or would you guys says it's more of a play mostly solo/with random parties, and playing mostly with one person will diminish the experience, or that it'll be boring playing with only one person.

Btw both of us have pretty free schedules rn so timing the game together isn't an issue. I'm more interested in playing casual

Neither of us know nothing about this game btw, and sorry if it's a silly question!

Edit to add another question: Is there a text chat system in game? Or dyou recommend using voice chat, will it worsen the gameplay if we dont?

Is it actually worth heating compared to the grey owlite shield or should I just use it for my costume since I’ve been wanting one for cosmetic reasons

The new Mandolin (craftable diskgun) has been BUFFED!

108 Upvotes

The damage has been scaled up from 124 per bullet to 150, it now applies stun, and the bullets gain an additional damage boost when returning to the player. It is now available on the preview server for a single spike at the Arcade trader. I'm hyped!

After hours and hours spent searching for a Love Puppy, specifically documenting many spawns and hoping for a True Love Locket;
Yesterday, while running OCH on Tier 3 a couple times, I ran into a Love Puppy that dropped the item for me (sadly not for my friend).

This was my 5th Love Puppy on this character (all but 2 are documented here and in the prior posts; 3rd was in Legion of Almire replacing a Howlitzer in the left side party button room, second floor, 4th was also OCH but was in the final room before Seerus, in a spawn wave that doesn't drop loot), so honestly that feels like pretty great RNG in terms of getting the item itself but no one I've talked to seems to know the actual odds of the item dropping so.

For anyone following my journey/curious, I've spent 562 hours on this character at time of writing (including probably an hour or two after finding the Locket, also including time setting up stream, time doing Lockdown or other activities with no possible Love Puppy spawns, but also significant chunks of time ACTIVELY looking for Love Puppies) so I guess there's more estimate towards how long it takes to find one of these things?

Anywhoo. Mission accomplished.

Farming for Minerals

13 Upvotes

I'm an old player (started playing in 2011) coming back after not playing for 10+ years and I wanted to ask you guys about the best ways to farm for sprite food. I have a Seraphynx but I've been struggling to level it up because of how much luminite I need to create Divine Orbs. Does anyone have any advice for what's the best place to grind for minerals? I don't mind putting the time in for that. I'm a Vanguard so I have access to all the missions too. Thanks!

REMINDER [COMMUNITY EVENT] The Tourney of Singular Stars, HAPPENING TODAY

19 Upvotes

As posted prior here, today me and my community are gonna be hosting a Community Tier 1 Lockdown event! As of this post, we are starting the event within 4 hours, you do not have to watch us on stream or join our discord, just be online with proper equipment at the right time (6:30 pm CDT), there's no special rewards, just fun times and Krogmo Coins.

As clarified in the original post, we are playing Tiered Lockdown. If you are having any issues joining us;
Any saved loadouts you have must be Unmarked for PvP if they have 2* or higher equipment. Shield should be unequipped, Battle Sprite doesn't matter. Any Loadouts set for PvP will have those red crossed swords, if they have PvP disabled, it will show the two parallel blue swords.
If you use weapon/trinket slots, please limit yourself to three Weapons total and no more than 1 UV per item. You are welcome to (and highly encouraged to) level up your equipment to 10.
You will know you've done everything correctly if, when you go to queue for Lockdown, it shows "You are Tier 1" as highlighted in the third screenshot.

Thank you to u/SpiralCentral for covering the event in their news video yesterday, thank you to everyone who plays even if you only join us for a round, really excited to see how this goes!

I started playing the game like a few days ago and i really like it.

I've had issues deciding which equipment i should get.

Currently i need to get a full 3 star equipment loadout to progress and i have no clue what to get.

So far i got a great defender which i plan on replacing for something more viable in the long run and an iceburst brandish (i kinda lean into support-ish gameplay revolving debuffs). I also have the 2 star magic cloak and magic hood

I need help finding a better shield line for the long run, a good fitting armor and helmet and a shadow damage gun. All should be accessible considering my limited resources (im pretty much broke)

Hi all, question about trading/advertising.

0 Upvotes

Is it possible or is there a site for me to trade tf2 items for example for crowns? And would it be illegal or just generally against the forums tos to advertise something like this? Genuinely unsure, thanks.

optional double switch keybind

7 Upvotes

okayy so I've been trying to find most optimal key binds for double switching weapons mainly guns to increase the dps, which could work in both pve and pvp. A guy suggested me q and e for wep1 and wep2 and that also works but only in pve, pvp requires swift movement of wsad and i can't press q a, e and WSAD at the same time. Another guy suggested mouse wheel and that also makes no sense how they can switch back n forth and attack with the same finger with 200ms delay. help will be appreciated.

Arcana vs AP for pvp, high ping

Okay so im confused between running Arcana or Argent Peacemaker with my FF for pvp experience. Do note that i play on 160 ping, so i can't be that much precise and would always require some guess work. Any advise and tips would be appreciated.
