Well that’s kind of dumb. It’s only a 15 day band. It’s not that big a deal.
How are you doing? Any problems? I haven’t seen a reset or heard of anybody else getting banned, so I hope you don’t have to deal with that.

I think I'm fine, all the bans seemed to have been done immediately, so I'll just have the weapons I save and the currency I gained removed, along with the Base Quality lowered. They should post a list of ppl being banned for this today or tomorrow. I'd be OK with getting a ban, since this was 100% an abuse/exploit of ingame mechanics, lol.

So 6006 people used the exploit before it was shutdown (i assume this includes the ppl who were doing it since S4 start). Of those 6006, only 62 got the 2 week ban.

Considering their daily user count on steam, 6000ish is pretty damn high. You’d be banning a huge chunk of your active gaming population. Those 62 must have been giga exploiting for days on end, whereas I imagine most people tried it for like an hour or so and got bored

The console daily playerbase is higher than Steam according to hearsay, during the time from when that streamer promoted the exploit until it was ended, I think the Steam CC got up to 12k.

I’m glad it’s only a few people that got a suspension. With the pice in caliber these weps are going to bring, I guess I understand why they didn’t want people taking advantage.

So if I understand, you sacrifice all transcendent weps that are below the quality of your highest right? So far I’ve gotten the same three over and over which is fine I guess. Bunny’s sparky I totally notice a difference in damage so I’m happy.

Man Raven is OP and so much fun. I just got her to 40 the first time and I’m already doing runs I never would have thought to do with Haily or Nell. So much fun. What build are you guys issuing for her? I usually follow Biscut’s builds but she hasn’t posted one

Is there a good guide to how much damage you should be doing on trials? I’m trying to figure out if I’m pulling my weight. Ult Viessa is over 600bill and I’m trying to figure out Ines. She should be a tank but I just don’t seem to pull numbers with her

I never got a suspension, but did have all 6 of the guns I got removed, and the +quality gone as well.

Started just running regular missions and shit to build Raven and some other stuff. After about 12 hours of gameplay I have 4 T.weapons now.

Raven is pretty good. She got nerfed a bit, and today she got buffed, but less tanky.
This is the build I'm using, but its not optimized as I think I have a bit too much Range:

The AM I'm using has red Crit Dmg, with Range and Cooldown. Ideally, you'd want Crit Dmg + Singular/Non-Attr Boost Ratio + Crit Rate, imo. For the AA mutant cell, I think most people use the Def Shred, but I'm using the Cohesion to buff more Non-Attr power.

With todays change, I think she is in a perfect stat for an active playstyle as her #3 now gives 2 Stacks of Raven Claw (the Orbs), but she only gets 3 dmg immune stacks vs. 7 before, so she'll have to be using her #3 on cooldown.

This is awesome, thanks for posting it! I'm going to copy yours and compare as I have just been playing around with her so far. It's really hard to keep up with well done Ravens in any content. She moves and plays so easy compared to some of the older characters. So much more utility

I just finished up a Ultimate Gley with Erasure build and she is a blast to play. Just machine guns everything and I'm surprised at the damage I can do trying to keep up with Ines, Viessa, and Raven. You are never going to be the damage dealer, but she does hold her own in trails

If you want to try Raven vs. single targets, replace Power Beyond+Breach Explorer with Domino Drive+Chain Reaction. That will boost dmg by quite a bit due to the DoT dmg that Chain Reaction will proc, but it is fairly useless in all other content (would do well in Conquest though).

Ukt Hailey today. I am so hoping they fix her playstyle. Her damage is great but she is so slow getting into sniper mode it’s almost impossible to play high density runs. I don’t have her maxed by any means and she still is great in Axiom, but I need help during runs (and trails are a solo no go) It sounds like they have upped her damages and she can now snipe mid air which will be nice.

I’m also really looking forward to the Luna bus. Luna is so much fun to play, at least for me. But she just can’t keep up. It runs with damage. It’s always interesting to go from someone like Raven or Inezs to Luna, lot more difficult in terms of Legion Labratory etc (but again I have a crap ancestor mod so that’s probably it too)

Ult Hailey is quite good, but lacks the huge AoE that others like Ines and Raven have. Using the Dangerous Distance mod has her #1 will do a lot of work as its now a toggle and does great dmg, her #2 is OK, her #3 is the standard buff she got with Cold Heart, while her #4 is what you'll be using all the time. Pops out a gatling gun and you just mow stuff down. I unique perk to the new Cradle mission/instance is that all special weapons (like her #4) do not consume ammo, so she can run around using it, plus you can use other skills while its out.

So I’m loving the updates to Luna her damage and Chris have gone up substantially for Battlefield concert. It’s still tough to compete with a raven, bunny, or Ines but I am absolutely loving the damage numbers I’m getting. Plus, they’ve taken away most of the penalties for missing notes in the Minn game. You can just spam now and you’re fine. Great update.
