Im downloading this tomorrow.
and what? gate map goes into the CORE?
October 23 Update - Discussion
Yay! ANOTHER promo box I can't afford! Anyways, I hope this mission isn't TOO hard... I only have 2 sparks left. I'll see how that goes.
15min for the end of School, get on the bus, wait 30 more minutes, get off bus, walk 10min to house...
Urgh...The suspense is KILLING me.
not going to spoil anything but it's seriously going to take forever to craft these things (unless the drop rate is crazy high or something)
We will enter the hell... just 5 circles... and it will be over. What will we do now? Farm the Core?
My small brain cannot register what apocrea is supposed to be. At the start of the message it sounds like the creation of something, then it sounds like its a sort of mechanical town. Either those or my brain really isn't working.
post pics and stats of the weapons please, i got 600 minutes of download time.
So Acheron is now as strong as DA/GF. that's kind of absurd. I know GF has curse but is there a reason to use it now?
So far as stats are concerned, they look like reskinned Acheron, Sentenza and Graviton accordingly, with the same precursors needed to craft them.
thanks, if you could post pictures that'd be super awesome.
ha i'm the only one that was too lazy to craft his Silent Nightblade into a Acheron, now I feel great.
except they poison as well, plus I'm assuming the bomb and charge attacks will at least be new
@#50: dear lord it's depth 30. I've waited a long time for testing. tomorrow shall be the day.
idk if this could happen to anyone but there a bug when "The hands" appear in the first level. just when the hand are about to appear if you use maskeraith cloak and then the game proceed to the next map you will be unable to move until you restart the mission again, i already sent the bug report. avoid to use maskeraith cloak and get caught by the hand when they appear.
I'll be honest, I'm kind of let down after having played it. I thought it was going to be like, some mind-blowing swarm challenge or something. I ran around four fields for like, 20 minutes, interacting with random objects while some mildly annoying dude chased me around. Woo...
>.<
I really love the new mission! But you said it's repeatable? I notice that there is going to be multiple days of it, but I assumed you meant repeatable from the mission menu. I have no such option :( and I really want to play it again.
How hard was it?
Did you play on Normal, Advanced, or Elite?
Did you Solo or Party?
Details, DETAILS!
to the "timer displays much time and/or goes up": welcome to the kong situation guys. sit down and try again tomorrow. no, I'm not kidding.
Elite, Solo.
Big graveyard style arena that's super misty, your screen flashes when slenderman attacks you. You run around and interact with all sorts of silly things to try to make loot come out of them. That's the extent of it, other than clockwork tunnels style levels with a new color palette (which looks awesome by the way).
You can repeat it, but you only get the 50 tokens once I think. Which is kind of pointless considering how many you need.
edit: Looks like you can't redo it actually. Maybe you can get invited though.
*screenshots*
new level... it's weird. (mostly just annoying, see the above post.) (really, I wandered around for like ten minutes before finding the exit. or an exit, could be more I guess. found a stone statue and nowhere to put it, and a locked gate. unless there's a trick to those that gives you a ton of tokens I remain annoyed.)
I'm STILL waiting to play it, and its probably going to be well over 3 or 4 hours before I can! I hope there's still some people who can do the prestige mission with me. Also, orbfarming for this and gunner update will be overwhelming
Argh. Go Real Madrid - Juventus, finish soon. I WANT TO TRY THAT BOSS.
I was planning to get my phantom mask and spookat mask my previous internet provider noped me from last year ;-;
Easy
Creepy
Last part was scary because your map is disonceted and you can't find the rest of your party and a great evil is coming to kill you.
For all you brave Apocrean Sigil hunters out there, please note that the entire party will instantly be granted Apocrean Sigils from each lost soul any member of the party frees. You will not need to pick up any items.
OOO! Ok, you said it is replayable even though I can't replay it. Also yes, statisics show that the new acheron know does more than GF.
Gf is really overpowered in lockdown. This makes things worse. Also how can we get the weapon if we can only do it once?!
So the reason for the Acheron buff and vortex tooltips make sense once you get to a crafting thingy. Assuming the new bomb is also a vortex, does the plain old Graviton vortex enjoy the same relative buff the Acheron (and Sentenza) has? Considering the Graviton only has a 50/50 chance of hurting shielded gremlin, choosing the poison variant seems a far better deal.
I just realized something... The apocrean guys have purple Snarbolax eyes e.o
First off, serious kudos to whoever wrote that journal thing in the announcement. Thing of beauty, that.
Also, thanks to Nick for coming in and answering questions. I had a couple after reading the announcement, only to find then already answered!
Wait, you guys are saying it was easy? I couldn't dodge the freak's hands!
Oh.. so now there is a second poison shadow gun, will we see any tweaking to the Biohazard in the future?
@Autofire
The best way to get the mission done is to set up 2 jobs, the tamer and slayer. The tamer has a maskeraith and distracts the freaky thing with cloak and dash, while the slayers run around as a group and free all the lost souls. This way it makes getting token easily enough as a group of 3 who dont have to worry about the big guy is better than a group of 4 that do.
Dodging the hands is easy enough if you stay far enough away from him (helps to be a gunner). If you do get trapped pop the cloak and hope nothing gets you out of cloak, by the time its over the arms should have let go.
I'll tell that to my group once I'm done with homework Mainly because I love my Masky.
Just shut up. They are trying to make us happy.
@Autofire
And no it wasn't easy. We were surrounded by minis, lost and had no idea where anyone was at first. And i had to ditch my party members; for a while, because I had to look for my lost team member and We hardly beat the wraith thingy by the time we were down to low health.
So missions are intended to be replayable or just one time then wait until tomorrow? the event description says we can do it many times we want but mission interface dont let me play again :/ its a bug or is intended?
well guess what, when I want to play the game and am hold out for four hours i'm NOT happy.
Token payout is heavily dependent on how thorough your party is, first run I got about 400 or so tokens, second run was well over 1,000 tokens, but took a bit longer and cost me WAY more sparks.
Nick, are you sure you didn't design this event to bankrupt players of their sparks?
Maybe cut the time on the tentacle things, it goes past the line of "difficult" and into the realm of painfully rage inducing because of those things.
So I ran it again and it was much more fun, sweeping the whole place. I wish it was explained the first time to me you were supposed to free the souls. I was just trying to get through to "get to the boss"... and then there was no boss so I was disappointed.
A quick heads up to those who have extremely long wait times on downloading the SK stuff, is your download even moving? If it's not, or even if it's insanely slow, try quitting out of the update then start it again. It may have timed out on you.
the update is awesome i shoulda made a video of the new place
the creepy atmosphere reminded me of zelda wher u play around with mask of truth
the party button..well for once somebody thinks out of the box and has fun with their own game! xD
btw we got 2 token per purple soul and 3 soul per grave in normal mode, is it the same in elite?
It seems that even if you aren't the one who started the party, you still can't play it again, although I haven't tried to see if you can still be invited to the mission. The party I went with got 58 sigils, we killed/freed/attacked only one soul lol. Didn't know that you could get that many sigils killing them all...
Does anyone know how many sigils you need to get one of the weapons? I remember that there are several mats of different stars that each require sigils, but I don't know how many you need in total for one weapon, or if they require different amounts.
So, is the Apocrean mission repeatable or not?
No... but you can decide not to finish the mission and go through it again. Pretty lame, but whatever.
No gunner update...oh well...
Wait that's not even supposed to be this month, is it?
