Funcom are adding more DoT and "build-up" weapons, yet no scaling of DoTs (or skills), makes them meaningless.

The current endgame armoury is packed with weapons that apply poison, fire DoTs, and “build-up” damage.

The problem is that Funcom still hasn’t scaled DoTs and ability damage to keep pace with endgame health pools. Beyond a certain point, these effects become largely irrelevant. And make skills meaningless.

So why keep introducing new weapons built around mechanics that barely matter in actual combat? Surely the developers can see that, outside of their base weapon damage, these special effects (and our direct damage skills) contribute almost nothing in the current PvE sandbox, and I cannot believe they are intended for use in PvP.

With the potential to be able to take 5 Blueprints with you through an expedition - What're your top 5? Here's mine.

Controversial taking the Defensive augment, I know, I just love an unlimited surge shield charger.

Deep Desert Base in Danger - PvE Instance - Sietch Abbir - Sector i5

I know it's not the place, but I can't abide someone losing their carrier, container, scout and harvester...

I've discovered that a Sleeper's base is in danger of being taken by the desert imminently. EU, World Eluzai, DD Sietch Abbir, i5. Shields/walls are gone, the vehicles and container have already sustained damage, and there's a storm rolling in...

The daughters of Joseph Sundvik... (Curse of Fenric pt. 4)

I recently made a post about my favourite occult- themed Who episode - The Curse of Fenric.

I forgot to mention one of the small, but cool tidbits contained in the episode...

Joseph Sundvik a resident of the fictional Yorkshire village of Maiden's Point died in 1872 and was buried in the local graveyard, he was survived by his daughters, Sarah, Jane, Martha and Clara.

Given this episode aired in '89 only one of those names referenced an existing companion, the others, as we know would come in time.

Pretty cool, eh?

Advanced terminals should craft ALL tier's of schematics...

Once you create an 'advanced' plastanium tier terminal you should be able to craft all prior material tier items from it too, that you can't is lazy and requires bases to be cluttered with terminals you use for one or two items.

“The Curse of Fenric” is probably my favourite classic Doctor Who story. The occult undertones give it such a creepy, atmospheric edge without ever losing the sci-fi side of things, and the whole WWII setting just adds to the mood. The Haemovore makeup and visuals still look genuinely unsettling, and Fenric himself is a great manipulative villain.

So, since the push for 100k to max post-expedition points landed, I've broken my Bettinas out of mothballs to use for PvE. And, I've got to say I don't understand the hate, these things are superb nowadays!

At IV, with a barrel extender and padded stock the Bettina shreds airborne Arc, capable of destroying Rocketeer engine pods with a few bursts - devastating. Equally effective for large ground targets, the Bettina allows you to strip off legs and armour plating effectively, though it lacks the snappy responsiveness of smaller guns, so surprise visits by Comets and Pops are harder to deal with.

During my sessions with the Bettina, I was attacked by fellow Raiders, I fell back to a medium distance and dominated, again, using the Bettina with controlled bursts gave my assailants nowhere to go and they lost the peek match. I can see a push or CQB being more challenging, and a need to keep folding back to stay at the optimal range for this gun. All of that said the second time I was attacked, at extract on Riven Tides it was close enough for me to mag dump without ADSing, and Mr "Enjoy the Free Kit" left with nothing.

If you've avoided using the Bettina because you've heard how bad it is, invest some resources in her, take her out for a spin around topside, she works best fired in controlled, three-round bursts and with decent stock and barrel mods, take plenty of heavy ammo and some ear defenders, what the Bettina lacks in stealth it makes up for in glorious, booming retorts.

TL:DR - Try the Bettina if it's been awhile, upgrade/mod it, take plenty of ammo, fire in three-round bursts and work at medium range.

What are those nefarious Arc up to? The Arc Turbines appear to be drilling into the surface, are they attempting to destabilise our beloved Speranza?!

Duck and cover Raiders!

Dalek Attack was amazing, iirc you could choose the 4th, 5th or 7th Doctor, with either Ace or a UNIT soldier as the second player. Some chill theme tune remixes and pretty funky sounds accompanied the Doctor as he thwarts the plans of Davros across your favourite holiday destinations: London, Paris, New York, Tokyo and er... Skaro!
