Novellas Dropping 7/30!

They're all done, laid out, and made beautiful by the design team, but the store aspect - and making sure Kickstarter Backers get theirs cleanly - has to be made perfect. So! On Tuesday, prepare yourself mentally and physically for a pair of tender novellae about Omni and Jim, which is to say "Ominifis Hereward Dran" and "James Winifred Darkmagic The Third."

The Worst Descendant

The First Descendant has its claws in me and I can’t escape. Early this week I was engaged in an activity called Outpost farming. These open world events were on a five minute timer. Essentially a bunch of monsters spawn at a given location every five minutes and after defeating them a boss will spawn and hopefully drop the item you’re looking for but probably not. The fight itself only takes about a minute so you end up sitting around for a while between fights. I was approached by a rando asking for help with a mission in the area. I ran them through the mission and afterwards explained that I had to get back because I was farming this boss every five minutes. They told me they knew an exploit that would let me fight the boss over and over without any timer. Obviously I was intrigued!

 

 

Boss Hog

The First Descendant has emerged from the novelty phase, the will they or won't they phase, and now it appears to have truly entered the rotation. Sometimes called "Warframe But Your Face Doesn't Look Like A Bug," to hear our own Gabriel tell it it's a game where when they patch something most of the time you're happy to see it. For example: in the strip, we talk about a rando teaching Mister Gribbz a 'sploit to reset the timer on bosses. Trying to, at any rate. Well, between the time this incredibly patient entity attempted to help him and the moment I'm speaking to you now, they closed that loophole. But, they dropped the timer on the boss refresh from five minutes to one. Right? Affable design of this sort is indistinguishable from a "bro manoeuvre."
