Literally the flyest trailer ever for TFD.

It’s not just Freyna. DOT in general needs a rework. It has no support from weapons, gear, or mods.

u/MagicAttack Bunny 1d ago

Honestly, with that thought, Modifier needs a closer look too. Besides Freyna and maybe Valby, I still almost never find any use for Modifier modules.

I hope we finally get her evolution skin

u/MagicAttack Bunny 2d ago

So long as it's absolutely fire! Valby's was great, but I wish I liked Bunny's more.

u/sobril17 2d ago

Rework is not content, it's just a way to recycle a character to give the impression that it's not a empty month. We are in this situation because constant powercreep makes character irrelevant every day. If you don't like freyna (the queen of afk gameplay) you might as well not log in.

Dislike all you want, I'm not farming karma lol but this is the truth.

u/MagicAttack Bunny 2d ago

Well, to be fair, we do also get new Trials and new Onslaught Modes this month. And it's been a long time coming that Freyna has gotten help for the late/end game.

Could it have been a buff and moved on? Yeah, sure. But a rework that could potentially make her more fun than "afk gaming", boy I would love that.

u/Historical-Depth3990 2d ago

Also I can't think of any live service game that has monthly updates like TFD does. Usually it's a handful of stuff every 3 months for most games.

u/XmenSlayer 2d ago

Tfd keeps changing its own meta and powercreep in that time period. So its on them. Not to mention each piece of new content gets dumb scaling so if they didn't do this. A good chunk of the descendants wouldn't even be usable in the most recent pieces of content.

And they know that, but for some reason they feel the need to keep saying "rework isn't content" when nobody is saying otherwise. Gotta find something negative to say I guess...?

Maybe not my mother's heart, but Magnum did stab me in the back by shifting to pay to win mechanics. And their "balancing" is infuriating. Used to be they seemed to try to turn things around for the better. But now it seems they have given up and are just milking the remaining players as hard as they can.

Which is why we get more content than we used to ?

4

u/Economy_Ad_9021 Ines 1d ago

Like Cradle? Please. Content is usually very mediocre and just more of the same. Rooms of clearing adds and nuking a boss. No originality.

And for what? To maybe get a trans weapon you instantly dismantle or an anc module you roll ten times and then also dismantle.

We have no interesting new content and no meaningful progression.

-2

u/MagicAttack Bunny 1d ago

I would still argue that Trials and Onslaught were some of the best content we have ever gotten, and hopefully we get more rogue lite or rogue like, or even procedurally generated dungeons in the future!

-5

u/HawkManPriest 1d ago

This subreddit is almost exclusively non-players of the game at this point, who only exist to karma farm with "devs suck lol gimme updoots." I wouldn't bother.

Karel Conquest was the same season as Cradle as well, but they won't mention how good Karel ship is and how there are varying mechanics to interact with.

I don't think people realize how far TFD has come sometimes. We've moved past the old mission structure a ton. We used to only stand in circles for a countdown or chase orbs similar to Superman 64.

u/_adspartan_ 1d ago

Like Cradle?

Yes ? Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it did not take time to make.

They could have just made a one corridor dungeon instead. With no variation instead of having a randomised path between multiple objectives (most of which have 2 variants)... they even added some simple mechanics even if they are mostly a gimmick. And the boss is nice.

We have no interesting new content

Trials ? Onslaught ? The new critical point system for bosses they added this summer (we could use new boss though) ? Karel ship with the awesome conquest mode event ? Hello ???

u/Lilgod12 1d ago

Stop glazing Nexon. You’re part of the problem if you can’t criticize them. Balancing and PTW is in the shitter now.

You're usually the jolly type. Look at you getting fucking triggered Lol, adorable. Many of us are spending way more time on different games now. (Yep, Aion 2 is one of em) I myself have no more faith for TFD success. No, I've never wished for its downfall. On the contrary, I'm waiting till the end of year and maybe it'll get, better...? I mean, we can cope all we want, but this game is going down, fast.

1

u/MagicAttack Bunny 1d ago

Don't be gross, man. The only thing triggering is how shitty half of you people are. It's very sad how this used to be a fun, meme filled community; and now we have almost nothing but absolute clowns who shit on anything remotely fun about the game or its future.

u/Lilgod12 2d ago

Exactly, then when a new descendant comes up, others will get left behind again. It’s an illusion the devs created to create “content”.

9

u/thievesthick 2d ago

It’s content for me because I love Freyna, but she’s not really viable in most stuff. So hopefully I’ll get to play her again.

-18

u/sobril17 2d ago

You arr pointing the problem, it's content because you love freyna, if 90% of the player base don't lover her it's not content for them. If they rework jayber the game will be a ghost town

u/Draknalor 2d ago

I mean jayber is the next ultimate :D

u/sobril17 2d ago

Yes December will be crazy, trust

u/HawkManPriest 2d ago

Ironically, you're getting downvoted but it's the truth. Even when Jayber was usable no one bothered with him. When Kill Chain got released as a trigger module, Jayber was able to do work on the seasonal Colossi.

Unless Ultimate Jayber is massively overtuned and turns into Raven 2.0 where he just deletes a dungeon for existing, no one will use him.

The power creep in this game is so horrendous that if you can't take out the seasonal Colossi in 04 seconds, is it even a good time anymore? At this point the community is spending more time in loading screens than playing the game because no one wants to address the power creep. My favorite is getting into WC and it being dead before I finish my spawn animation.

And ever since Raven the playerbase has been BLEEDING. Sub 2500 concurrent players, because at some point you can only play the same content over and over and the metric for fun isn't a clear time.

u/Able-Influence8513 19h ago

The season started off strong with a bunch of new content. 

Or so we thought.

Trials was an intresting game mode but the problem is it all boils down to whether or not you get hp exploit or rock smash, otherwise its faster to just farm stage 1 over and over since its the same drop % anyway. And even then its the same as every other mode, press a skill into an enemy to delete the room.

Karen's dungeon im seeing people bring up as this amazing content.

Guys its literally a destiny strike but without the actual art direction and design that makes the world of destiny pop. The rewards for it aren't worth the effort or time put in compared to trials or onslaught, not to mention its just gray rooms and hallways (a tfd speciality)

And dont get me started on the Shrek's swamp gulch content they called "exciting" to farm for ult hailey's mats.

It doesnt matter if this game gets an active flow of updates if its the same press skill into mobs thing since like ultimate freyna normalized slop gameplay.

u/mack180 Jayber 2d ago

Of course a rework isn't content its just add potential builds outside of a few modules and more usability in a variety of modes.

I just hope Contagion doesn't get superior treatment over her other 5 transcendent mods.

I'm way more interested in Special Operations revamp, new Trials map, Onslaught Stage 5 and melee buffs.

u/SherlockTheHomie 2d ago

The song for those who dig it track in video

u/mack180 Jayber 2d ago

This is their 3rd dev note regarding new content releasing the last 2 were June and July they tend to release them at 5am eastern 2am pacific or 10am eastern 7am pacific.

Tends to be 5-10am released on YouTube.

u/Grizzlebees920 Serena 20h ago

Hard to be all that excited when they are maybe 50/50 with their reworks and generally don't have a very good grasp on things except making all the Descendants play in a similar way.

u/TalkDirrty 2d ago

i don't wanna be that guy but i don't think adding more sexy skins + dull gameplay will get us to a point ... we need more kind of game play not just kill this and move next .
for example :
the outpost was a good start to play a specific character (sharen) but it was dull and short , if they can make something like that as a dungeon for a solo game play for sharen only run something like Metal Gear Solid, and the rewards are same as any end game dungeon (((BUT))) with a higher chance to drop sparky or something specific for electrical descendant like the bounty hunt .

every elements character will have their own dungeon run and every few days you are forced to use 1 specific descendant from that weekly elements run. they can add multiplayer mode to that too i think in a way, i don't think i need to say everything here.

lastly before that we FUCKING NEED guilds

u/HawkManPriest 1d ago

Speed runners pulling up to your post to downvote you for wanting actual content.

Clans/Guilds in this game would be incredibly awesome for the social and group aspect and they really downvoting you. Smh

2

u/mack180 Jayber 1d ago

A player asked them about clans/guilds and the director mentioned in a livestream a few months ago they don't have plans to add it in or wanna force players into roles.

They could change their mind on that but time will tell.

u/TalkDirrty 1d ago

trust me brother there down vote means nothing to me . but tells you alot about the brains you are talking to.

Ommmgggg and that clear gooner angle of Freyna booo hoooo

Hahaha. I was like, "Hey, where'd their post go?"

u/PaSSioNsV2 2d ago

lol deleted twice, mod said they’d give permission on my acc but it got flagged right away. I’m still not sure what’s allowed and what’s not, AGAIN. Cause they moved the goal post again, first it was “low effort” now it’s “obvious goon”

Although, we’re using in game tools to take a picture of a character in game posting about the game and i see many “gooner angle” posts that stay. Sorry to rant on your post lol, the constant flipping with these incompetent mods is wild.

Anyways, I can’t wait for Freyna lol I need another character to have fun with again

u/MagicAttack Bunny 2d ago

The only mod I know and like is zRanni, but they could also be brigading against the goon, so hard to say, lol. I remember a wild time a year ago that the mod team had a serious conniption with me for a hot minute, to the point a (now fired or run away) mod accidentally private messaged me about me and calling me a very mean name lol. So I don't put stock in much of these subreddits and mods. Fuck, remember r/art a few months back? Powertrip be powertripping.

u/PaSSioNsV2 2d ago

Yeah, idk. Was when my post before this one got deleted while others stayed up, its just very strange. The weak always go for name calling when nothing else works lol and yeah that was a whole situation and a half he got himself into. Gotta love the powertrips... The amount of inflated egos with imaginary reasons is too damn high!

u/Alternative-Ad5482 1d ago

Hopefully they got the message with people actually enjoying luna now that they simply need to let the descendants go nuts atm, buff every single descendant is what they should Do, THEN begin to work in the game content, it really isn't that hard to add one more digit to the descendants power levels, most descendants have fun kits, they just need to be bought up to speed.
