The First Descendant

Here is a TLDR post on the reddit about Season 2, pt.2; content through March. Good stuff overall, imo.

Some really nice QoL with this latest Hotfix:

Those are some nice QoL. I like the changes except I find the component set changes underwhelming. I was hoping for more competition to the slayer set. At least maybe I can farm I a viable slayer set now with the increased drop rate.

Some people are losing their minds over the daily log in event change also. If you were able to complete everything since the event went live you were able to claim the heart spawn but if you missed one day it's now gone replaced with an emote and some paint. Funny thing is, if you claimed the heart spawn now you can't get the paint and emote. The heart spawn is part of the valentines bundle you can buy. It doesn't bother me either way which bonus I get but it's kinda screwed up they changed it without warning and everyone getting screwed out of something lol.

There are some people at the Nexon presentation at the GDC going on now, and they have some really ambitious plans for Season 3 coming in July, the slide I saw had alluded to bringing:
Vehicles, Massive Maps, a Housing system, and Colossi battles in the World. Guess this is why support for last gen consoles is going away.

As for the current Season 2, pt. 2. The new character, Serena, is pretty strong and in combination with the new Multi-Hit gun mods she is rather silly OP. Though, I think its more a case with Multi-Hit being way overtuned.

Yea, Serena is stupid OP but I'm having a blast just flying around melting everything.

Hopefully they can pull off season 3 because it looks great.

What a shitty day for my gaming. My two favorite classes/characters in two games I play (BDO/ TFD) got shafted with the nerf bat.

Pulled your post from another thread to discuss here.

Ines did take a heavy hit but she is still powerful for the current content. After reading the patch notes I thought she would feel worse. She does feel more inline with the other top skill performers now. Have you maxed out Serena with The Malevolent? That's some OP fun also.

Yea, my comment was from just reading the patch notes. I haven't needed to change up my build for Ines at all and she still clears everything I want to do.

As for Serena, I've only lvld her up shelved her, clearly too strong so I'll wait to use her til after the inevitable nerf, if at all.

Just finishing getting Arche running for Freyna and modding up Blair.

Some interesting changes coming in April / May. Ult Blair looks great. They showed off the jiggle physics and its good, nothing crazy.

TLDR post from the sub:

Started playing about a week ago - good timing because there were 3 different daily login events going at sametime, so I got lots of materials

If I like a f2p game I usually buy a couple things, so I bought Hailey and a pet dog to auto loot shit. Serena wasn’t too hard to unlock ingame - I accidentally stumbled into some OP bomber build and found out it was a meta build idea, so I made adjustments recommended in guides. I just fly around using ancient launcher + dive bomb mod attack and melt shit even without being fully optimized

Having fun still so far, although I imagine the honeymoon period will end. Getting mastery to 20 going to be a pain

Nah, its not that bad now. Running one 400% dungeon (solo or grouped) will nearly max out a weapon, so just find a 400% that has a Component set you might use and/or Amourphous Materials for something you want. It'll go really fast. Make sure to run the two Sigma zones at least once per day to get the daily juiced XP there.

If you want to spend a little more, buy the two newest emotes, you might appreciate them later on.

Is it that bouncing ball one? I see that one constantly lol

Yea, that is one of them. Its hilarious because if a female uses it, its blue with a smiley face, but if a male uses it, it turns red with an unhappy face. The other emote lets 3 characters line up behind each other while bobbing up/down/around out of sync. If its just one character, that character will just bob up/down. These two will be popular with the Dynamic Motion feature coming sometime in May, lol.
