Nova and Soma P to be Vaulted on the 22nd.

I dont use the Tetra and this Mangacock isn't going to change that but, I suppose, can appreciate the attempt to lure players into trying certain underused weapons

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

my mod asks me to do a level 30+ interception mission alone, with the slowing dragon key equipped, and without being knocked out once.
yeah, right.

 

[Bliblablubb]

I got a mod for Ignis (that's a flamer) that increases rate of fire for bows and electical damage...

Yup, randomized mods are a great contribution to the game.

Want to trade for one of my shitty mods (or something else)? I actually use Ignis a lot, so I'm willing to reroll that.

 

[Bliblablubb]

Nah, you can have that thing for freez.

But one day in the future, I will approach you and say: "Remember the mod I gave you? Now I need something from you..."

Edit:
Also, since that quest I imagine my brat to backtalk at spacemum at every occasion from now on.

Spacemum: "If we avoid detection, this will be easier!"

Bratty Op: "YOU DON'T TELL ME WHAT I CAN DO AN WHAT NOT! YOU ARE NOT MY REAL MOM! CHAAAAAARGE!"

I sent you a friend request because apparently I don't have you on The List[tm], assuming you're Bliblablubb in-game too, I'm Very_Melon.

"You're not my real mom!"

Riven mods are quite a cash grab on DE's part, and it seems the "Warframe community" is going to let them get away with it.

I noticed something about the Riven emblem, by the way:

That was my first acc but I ditched it without playing, because I forgot to add Aarne's referral or smth. So I went with a new one upholding the legacy of Neverwinter's potatogirl (A name that was already taken in GW2. Curse you whoever you are!). Gonna send you a request when I get home.

Reached #1 on the global leaderboard (for a specific node) while doing the new endless missions on Spear, Mars. We quit because we were bored.

Spicy!

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

i couldn't even stand having sex for 2 hours straight.

Normally I'd never play for that long either, but right now there's a bug: after the first time you or one of your weapons get corrupted, additional corruptions never expire. Also, if the same thing gets corrupted twice, three times, etc. in a row, the corruption stacks. If you have like 3-4 stacks of corruption and something different gets corrupted, you'll lose one of your "stacks."

So we were getting crazy shit like my Avalanche having a range of 264m, dealing 44,000 damage +16,000 explosion damage, and stripping 1,128% armor, in addition to Rhino's Roar buffing damage by 4-8x, while Ember's WoF hit for up to 5.5k and Accelerant multiplied fire damage by up to 12x, with a range that reached the edges of the map in both cases.

Also, one guy's Zhuge got corrupted a few times and it was shooting so quickly and with so much flight speed that it looked like some lightspeed alien particle accelerator cannon blasting out hundreds of particles per second.

In other words, they were two fun and interesting hours, pretty rare these days.

 

[Bliblablubb]

Reminds me of the days when my Failkyr liked to bug out and gave me a permanent semi-RAEG in missions. Invulnerability but only normal speed low damage claw attacks. Could have just activated air support for hours without ever killing anything... but I wasn't edgy enough to go all the way. Still good times.

By the way: what consequences do your choices in TWW have? I noticed the medal displaying my weaksauce pacifist symbol is now prominently featured in the profile screen. Is it more than just a badge of shame?

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

still no effect as far as i know.

Got about 4 Corruption stacks on Ember today:

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

i wish skills outdamaged weapons. not ember's tho, because it's powerful enough already even as crowd control.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

lollercoaster on those corrupted buff stack bug effects.

 

[Sykar]

My Nova Prime approves.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

I think there's an overall decent balance with skills vs weapons on a more fundamental level right now, since skills are really about their utility factor rather than their direct dps effect. And now there's several skills that actually do keep up with weapons when it comes to damage, thanks to being linked to weapon mods (notable example being Atlas' 1st power). I think it's a nice approach in that it encourages frame design to be tactical rather than direct fire.

EDIT: That is not to say that balance between skills is anywhere close to being achieved, given how strong ZA WARUDO type effects can be.

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

but what about volt's or ember's 1s? they're just useless. anyway, my point was that skills are limited by energy while ammo is more abundant than hydrogen.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Volt's 1 actually has a decent stun chain function, like a mini-4. Not to mention Volt Prime has such a gigantic pile of energy that nothing short of actively trying to run out of it or getting hit by magnetic proc causes immediate problems that Rage or your mountain of energy pies will solve afterwards.

But yea, I agree more powers that deal primarily damage should be affected by some weapon mods.

 

[Bliblablubb]

I would really like it if the abilities would be major dependable damage dealer in the game. Right now most of the frame abilities are gimmicky at best, especially if you are to level a frame "as intended". Heck, I can't even remember most of the abilities of the frames I leveled, since you ended up just using your gun and cursing your lack of self-heals. What did Titania even do? I only remember using butterfly mode for getting faster around the map, since the guns were laughable compared to the pimped normal ones you have.
Aside from Amber and Ash, I don't think any frame could really live off his abilities alone, energy consumption aside. At least I remember Nova being a yuge letdown in solo mode. Valkyr.. maybe. Even tho she was beaten with a nerfbat.
How is Frosty doing in that department? Nyx can live off charming a Bombard, but just shooting them would be quicker.

Nobody really plays Zephyr, Lolberon, Ivanka, Neeshka or the Monkeyking. Even Aarne as the last Wuchong fanboi ditched him in favor of Volt Prime.

Yes I know, PvP balance, different roles for group play etc.... was just a though.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

I still bust out Wukong whenever I intend to tank the living fuck out of a mission.

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

i like zephyr and oberon. the former can shrug A LOT of damage away and jump out of trouble in a pinch while the latter is sheer larping satisfaction with its slamming the shit out of everyone's faces.

 

[Blaine]

Nova and Saryn are two frames that can rack up loads of damage and kills almost entirely independent of weapons or weapon stats. I can routinely out-damage and out-kill other MR22+ friendos by a wide margin with Spore spam, nicely timed Molt/Miasmas, and a bit of help from Hikou Prime or Pox. Nova pretty much requires a strong Tigris to quickly charge Antimatter Drop, though.

Almost forgot Equinox, since I rarely use her. She can deal loads of burst damage solely through use of her powers, although there again, she should be shooting things in the meantime.

Most other "DPS" frames rely mostly or entirely on their weapons to deal that damage, such as Mirage and Chroma. Ivara, Mesa, Titania, Valkyr, Atlas, and Excalibur deal high damage with their abilities, but these depend in large part on their weapon stats.

 

[Gerrard]

Lack of ability cooldowns was a mistake.
Lack of regenerating energy was a mistake.

When you think about it seriously, it's amazing how popular Warframe became with all the awful design decisions it has.

What did Titania even do? I only remember using butterfly mode for getting faster around the map, since the guns were laughable compared to the pimped normal ones you have.

You know the guns use the mods you have on your primary weapon.
