Morphic crates ;-(

[Marf]

I just browsed this forum and don't see anyone talking about the new Morphic crates that spring up at the most inconvenient moments and then are immune to damage, and hit like a truck.
Am I the only one that thinks these things are an absolute sack of ♥♥♥♥ and would love to see them removed from the game immediately? I met one in a level TWO area, bit harsh I thought..

They are not rare. You can get 3 or 4 Legendary weapons in Novice server if you know that the WIsh Machine's mini games are not a gacha game.

... i was speaking about the void/balance mobs not the weapons when i said "rare" (5 days playing in the new season and i maybe encounter 10-12) . I dont really think you understood my comment at all .

Secondly, if you are a veteran you should have plenty of legendary weapons. Within 20 mins I already crafted full set of gears from wish machine before I even set foot in any zone and face any of these.

With what eaxact?Even you are a Veteran you need Stardust to make your Legendary Weapon and Armor even at level 1 and at least me this run have a little bit Problems to get my finger on stardust im level 39 Now and still have 200 Stardust

You can transfer materials for eternaland (not very efficient but you can)

I don't even bother with the ones sporting the voodoo doll. Waste of ammo and time, imo.

Especially considering what they usually drop.

Sproulet carried over, use them to buy from Nisa. I spent 8k Sproulet and have 6k left over within first 20 mins. Loads of acid and stardust.
Morphic, Treasure, Accessories in Broken Delta and Iron River drops stardust
Elite Deviant
I'm 7 hours in new season, lvl 28 with 7/7 calibrated tier III 4 stars Last Valour wrecking havok on bosses, with tier III Legendary gears and 700 Stardust. Just have to wait couple days more for Phase 2.

What I did is make Motorcycle and beeline for Iron River ASAP. So much easier to farm materials. My base is next to Wanderer stop so I don't run out of mixed fuel.

Btw I still have 11k points to transfer more stuff from Space Time backpack. I'm still deciding between bringing over the 3 stars Last Valour tier V last season or just the Calibration BP to craft 4 stars once I hit lvl 40.

Is the voodoo doll the morphic that you need to shoot down the doll first? Just let Doggo out and it usually kill the Doll and attract aggro. Then proceed to shoot the crate.

The only thing constrained so far is Starchrom. I spent 18k to make 4 stars Last Valour from 3 stars and only have 20k left. Need another 80 frag to make 5 stars.

From what I've seen we get two varieties of 'new' enemies. The voodoo doll and the phased (blueish) ones.

I just avoid any enemy that's sporting the voodoo doll, which includes the morphic crates you occasionally come across. Luckily not all have them. But if they do, they're too tedious based on what they actually drop, imo.

I burnt through my starchrome as well, only got about 9k left. But it let me fully upgrade the shrapnel helm (firefighter) and got my LV to a level 3 blueprint so it was worth it in the end.

[Big Boom Boom]

I lucked out twice gambling Echo from the Rift both time getting LV, otherwise I can see it's going to be a big pain to upgrade it. So far
BP from Rift + 80 frag (BP) from last season + 20 frag bonus last season wish machine = lvl 3
80 frag buy outright + 80 frag from Rift = lvl 4 with 70 to spare. Need another 80 to get to lvl 6.
Assuming lvl 6 is the same you probably need 200 frag to upgrade. There's no guarantee chance right now until a future season so you need to be very lucky with Echo from Rift to keep getting LV.

I find them interesting. It breaks the monotony of just clearing areas when you have this thing rapidly chasing you down spewing lava as you try to change weapons to whatever it is weak to.

The rewards kinda suck, but I imagine that will be adjusted as the season goes on.

Okay I found the voodoo doll, except this is the balloon elite which made it even worse lol. Balloon elite has "phase" by each time he inflate the balloon and you need to pop 3-4 balloon before you can kill him. So in the mean time he regenerated voodoo doll lol. Not too bad to be honest, but yeah loot sucks.

Dropped gear is not meant to be used. It's mats.

There's also a perk in the craddle for further increase the dmg you do against them.

It does not increase the damage to them ... it allows you to do the normal damage using the correct weapon . You do 0 weapon damage to those npc and the skills gives you 100% weapon damage .

Thanks I'm still learning the game, I appreciate the info!
Also I already have 24k starcrons for just playing the season, I still want to test everything before purchase a set since I only experienced shrapnel so far, but you're evaluating me as a veteran player and I said that I just started this character on this season, I didn't have a problem with anything so far and I think that the hard difficulty is the more balanced one, as the normal difficulty the game is simple just too boring.

Some void enemies are more tough than others, void crates are ok, Rosetta bombers are cancer, Rosetta mechanics are the easiest ones and Vulture snipers are weirds, as they teleport too much and also throw grenades.

I also agree with their regeneration and respaw of the first map, in my opinion once their shield is broken they should be gone, usually their fights involve the whole map and that itself already are a problem.

The only time that I had a hard time against those enemies was one sitting RIGHT AT THE QUEST POINT, I had to stop, go back to my base and craft a damn rifle to fight against it.
I kinda don't welcome this kind of challenge that will force us to rotate our builds each season.

My Lord.. They are not immune to dmg.. Depending if the monster is Void or Balance, you can damage them according to the right weapon, to break their shield. It's in the season info.

Void = Unstoppable or Power Surge
Balance = Burn a or Frost Vortex

If you have the override for the cradle(Anti-Balance, Anti-Void), it'll make things easier for you.

Now I guess the devs added this for people whose been saying the game has been too easy.

For complete newbies to the game and have never finished one server season, this will be hard for them when they first have their unfortunate meeting with one. Just run and leave. For the people playin long enough, I hope they saved up starchrom to buy one of the following gun blueprints to help them out with this type of monster.

I just got wiped out by a void sniper kinda npc that was 11 levels lower than my character, I hit it with the correct weapon and did some damage but then my mag ran out and it one shot me while I was reloading. I hit the adrenaline shot and tried again only to get one shot again! A little OP in my humble opinion, and yes, I know I am not a pro gamer but I play for fun, these things aint fun imo.

You know the dodge button aka roll? Unless you are rocking gears tier way below your current level you shouldn't have problems with one shot. The only one that can one shot is Ede the Balloon elite that do the firework attack, but that can be dodged too.

Or just run away if you can't fight them.

Also check what server are you on Normal or Hard. Hard just have deviants doing more dmg on you but nothing with proper gear can't handle.
