I feel it is an insult to Kinggath to say his stuff is “as good as” Bethesda itself.

His stuff is completely superior to Bethesda itself.

The new update has the villains as a late 1990s boy band. They have a song on spotify and tidal. On-Lyne, Party of your Lifetime.

And in what weve seen of the quest, at one point you fight an alternate universe Soviet tank.

You’re confusing me with someone else. Havent talked about FOMO in warframe with you.

FOMO in warframe is events like the just finished Jade Shadows, one offs like Scarlet Spear or the (very) infrequently run Plague Star.

We are in agreement about DE uses Dark Patterns, you’re just more jaded than I am. Calling it p2w though is a stretch IMO.

The whole prime access is a p2w mechanic that prior to Liches was arguably considerably more important.

Now with Lich, Sister and Railjack weapons that are all play-only access.
Galvanized and Prime mods you can’t p2w.

Nevermind the whole Steel Path and incarnon adapters, where while a small set is plat available, and the only good weapon in that set is the Angstrum, and aforementioned Galvanized mods.

Prime resurgence is a less predatory version of prime vault. It allows free players easier and more precise access to unvaulted items, including armor and accessories that were previously impossible to get as a free player.

See the price drop for Glaive Prime today. Dropped off a cliff because its unvaulted.

Its the same mechanic you describe above.

If you miss it in the free battlepass, it comes back later in a random chance per mission to get a single drop.

You’re arguing in bad faith by praising DRG for using the exact same system Warframe uses.

Also 4 digits playtime here, but that is irrelevant.

You’re not wrong, but you are confusing dark patterns with p2w. Sadly they all do dark patterns now. Even Deep Rock Galactic is loaded with them.

It arguably isn’t anymore, although it looks like it is. Yes, you can buy prime frames and weapons, but can’t buy the mods or arcanes directly from the game to outfit them. Even then, prime weapons on their own are not the best in the game by a long shot, and a prime warframe does not guarantee it being “meta”.

The weapons that are the best are locked behind story quests, and even once you unlock one of those vendors, only one of them that you can buy with platinum is any good.

They were considering adding a destiny style story skip, but when they asked for feedback it was so negative they immediately relented.

Love the guy, but he also misses over that warframe has monetizion that beats the pants off of all of the others.

True. Tbh I use Gloom or Aquablades with surging blades depending how I feel on Nyx.

I have the Nourish on a lot of frames that don’t need it just because of Circuit. Generally rely on the pet giving me that. Especially now.

IMO: Xaku has a very good and obvious tank in his 4.

Caliban is harder to figure out since its built around shield tanking and shield regen, without building for shields like Hildryn. You need to manage his 3 for that tanking to work, and frankly his 1 is just a mean trap.

Nyx, like Caliban, improves exponentially when you replace the weird and out of place ability with a better one, be Gloom, Xata’s Whisper, Condemn(for shield tanking) or Nourish.

For Nyx its her 4, Caliban his 1.

Caliban’s persistent aoe shield/armor stripping field is insane in the right conditions(E.G. Interception, Defense, Mobile Defense.)l

Nyx gets insane with a magnetic weapon and a Jade Eximus. Take out the overguard, mind control, congrats, you have a pet jade light.

It could be that its success was internally attributed to a different team someone in the hierarchy favoured.

(I was making a joke by describing Skyrim. The college is Winterhold.)

It would have to be more melee based, maybe in a northern area of Europe with a heavy scandanavian focus.

Maybe the radiation gave them magical abilities. Have a sorry redneck excuse for a magical college up in the north east of the map in the remnants of a ruined city.

Yes. Absolutely.

However, no one has taken the companies that started doing that to task, and now even companies like John Deer have been pulling that shit.

Hell, Monsanto actually took farmers to court on that principle for growing crops that had been naturally cross pollinated with “their” GMO crops using that principle.

I am not disagreeing with you. I am stating what we have allowed the rich fucks to get away with.

Its in the standard terms of service now for the big AAA publishers.

As far as I am aware, most of the game and sofrware companies get around it by stating you’re no longer buying a thing, but buying a non-transferrable licence to use the thing but you never actually own anything.

Starcraft 2, at this point, is 2 years Older than Starcraft 1 was when it was released.

Hell, starcraft created the concept of a professional gamer being a thing. To say that RTS games dont have popular appeal is just outright wrong.

3D isnt a bad thing though, C&C Generals did it fantastically.
