How is base PS4 performance these days?
Last time I played was the Plains launch, and the performance in general, although it was awful in the Plains itself, was nowhere near as good as it was in 2015-16.

It runs fine for me...but it is player hosted, so you can get some serious hitches if you link up with a distant or poorly connected host.

I farmed Harrow. And it was brutal. I never want to see another defection mission ever again. But I got him and he is building.

Defection wouldn't be so bad, but you NEED at least two competent people to run it, and for the most part, all you see playing it is newer players trying to get Harrow.

FWIW, Nova breaks defection just as much as she does the rest of the game.

This is also half the reason I cant play Lua in public matches anymore. I used to farm sentients for broken war parts, can't do that now because all the new players there wants to spend 20 minutes in the map trying to get Octavia parts. Its much more productive to do it with a full party because you get increased spawns, everyone grinding Octavia grind makes that impossible in a pub. Getting only 2 spawns going solo sucks due to it being half as efficient. I'm so happy I did the Harrow grind while everyone was doing it in the beginning. I couldn't imagine trying to do defection now with only new players. Nobody likes defection because nobody likes escort missions. It literally doesn't matter how you change it up because the issue is always playing at the pace the game dictates for you instead of how you want to play.

When people are recruiting for eidolon hunting they always want maxed VS? I suck at it and feel like everyone has to carry me.

Is VS an operator skill?
Should I be using a different amp combo than the one that's like the mini arca plasmor?
What's the best noob eidolin hunting frame to be useful?

VS = Void Strike from the Madurai skill tree

Video to show what's up: https://youtu.be/ch2o_rO9DTg

You need a Trinity to Bless the lures, and she's probably the easiest to play...just Bless (build isn't even that critical). When I'm playing Trinity, I usually just focus on taking out the little Eidelons and let my teammates focus on the big guys. Everything else is negotiable, but I like to have someone to protect the squad during energy spikes. I prefer Harrow, but Oberon works fine too. People still ask for Chromas, but VS makes Chromas role academic since everybody can one-shot the limbs.

Whatever amp you're comfortable using is probably fine. I prefer the Schwaak Prism, but everything attached to it is purely taste.

Thanks, I'll watch the video at home, I feel like I was pushed out of raids and so I have zero arcane I did a couple of hunts but now I feel like I'm shitty at those but dont want to be pushed out of arcanes again because I need energize and grace to really max my builds

I've been logging in every day but I haven't been playing. Im back into it but I need all limbo prime stuff and all chroma prime stuff and khora still, I just finished mask of the revenant

Sorry for DP but wow....

Started a neo rescue fissure, host left 30 sec in. Matchmaking put me in an axi def mission at wave 13. How does that even work? I've never seen ppl join after wave 5 (hell i thought they couldn't).

Well that was quick, after getting serious again it only took 2 weeks to get everything but limbo and rubico. I'm still working on khora though ugh onslaught and I'll still have to do the high level one for the gun parts

Yeah I got limbo, chroma, and most every new thing over the last couple weeks as well. Still need gram and akbolto p. Wish there was any easy way to get axi relics. Xini is never full and heiricon is very inconsistent. Go 12 rounds every time and get anywhere from 2-6 relics, but half those are neo.

Get multiples of the zaw parts...arguably the best melee weapons in the game. And they are super cheap.

Edit: And for those who need forma, Plague Star is probably the cleanest way to get a bunch of them...basically one per run if your squad mixes in all 4 of both thingies.

I finally got an Arbitration for Nidus and as a Nidus main it pleased me greatly. Me and my friends took advantage of this +300% strength increase in glee. Basically when you take an Umbral Nidus with 900+ armor, an Arcane Guardian, a +300% strength increase, and link to an Oberon who then provides his Iron Renewal buff. You get +1,444 extra armor and damage on Nidus is non-existent without having Parasitic Link on an enemy (I wasn't taking any damage so I didn't have it active). I only took 4% damage which was at the start when I was getting my one stack. It was glorious.

So uh, am I blind or is maroo's bazaar gone? Where do I turn in statues now?

Also finally got one amp to max lvl but I can't guild it cuz I'm not high enough rank. Lame.

Why do I have to lvl these things twice anyway? Not like theres any mods for Em.

Any openings in the ERA clan? I've been getting back into this after taking a long break. PSN is Absoludacrous

Yeah, quiet. I've been trying to keep 4-5 spots open, and I haven't really had to kick many to maintain it. A couple people are approaching 2 months offline.

But we'll probably end up with another waiting list when Fortuna hits. The way it always goes...ebbs and flows.

Does Xbox use this thread? Or do they have their own? Looking for a clan invite

If there's an Era Xbox clan, it doesn't seem like it's very active. I feel like I remember someone starting one, but I never hear anything. If you don't find a clan here, and you end up looking in-game, be sure to find a clan with:
  • 100% research
  • Ignis Wraith (competitive clan event reward) (I suppose you could also ask for a blueprint in your clan's alliance or even trade chat. Just don't pay for it)
  • Clan name should be something you can live with. Alliance too.
  • Check out the dojo before joining (make sure somebody's putting some work into it)
  • Check their activity (days offline) and make sure you don't have a big part of the clan with months/years offline. This shows how much effort the warlord puts into maintaining an active clan and kicking inactive members. You can ask for a "screenshot of offline players sorted by longest days offline", or you can just check after you join.
  • After you join, check your alliance chat to make sure it isn't complete garbage (ours isn't perfect, but it's about as good as you could expect given the size)
You could also check and see if Reset Era is available as a clan name and go from there, but only if you have real intent to manage a clan or willingness to pass leadership on to someone else who will do a good job. The PS4 clan leader is kind of shit tbh. ;)

Hope that helps!!!

I couldn't find an Era clan (I think there is (was?) a GAF one) when I looked, so I just joined a random big clan with max research.

They aren't particularly active, so if anyone else finds a more active one, I'd be interested.

Just grabbed the Starter Pack while it's still $10 (300 plat plus some other stuff for ten bucks is pretty decent, plus I do like to throw DE some money every now and then). Only downside is that I don't want to waste the 3-day boosters (I'm not actively playing at the moment, just logging in for the daily rewards), so I guess I'm just gonna...not log in until Fortuna, I guess. Really wish they'd just let us activate the boosters when we want to (if they want to keep people from stocking a ton of boosters and activating them all at once, why not just make it so that you can't have more than one booster of each type stocked at any given time?).

Anyway, hope Fortuna comes out soon so I don't get kicked from the clan for inactivity, heh.

boosters start counting down the minute you get them, even when you aren't logged in afaik, so you can't save or plan around them unless you just hold off buying it and yes it sucks

As long as folks post or message to let me know what's going on, I don't kick them. I got you.

Edit...not for you but in general: After Fortuna launches, there will likely be a waiting list for the clan, so I'll adjust offline thresholds accordingly...but it's always easy to come back if you happen to get kicked. :)

yep I hate it. I log in to make sure I get the daily login but alot of times I'm too tired to play after work or have to go to sleep early because of schedule changes. I'm so grateful for the new log in rewards system. I get 30 hours instead of 30 minutes to log in and take advantage of the boosters.
