Warframe

[Counterfeit Obol]

I'll stop procrastinating Descendia, Perita, my Steel Path star chart, and my Archon mods one day.

You can procrastinate a little longer; the upcoming NW hosted by Amir will have Descendia/Perita-related weeklies (just one of each).

Changes to Nightwave were listed:

Man, you beat me to it while I was jotting everything down.
We can expect the following changes/removals/additions to our weekly tasks:

• The Hunt is On: Find 5 > 10 Syndicate Medallions. Changed from Daily to Weekly.
• Zariman/Venus/Earth Bounty Hunter: Complete x different Bounties on Zariman/Earth/Venus
  • Zariman Bounty Hunter is getting changed to an Elite Weekly.
• Now Boarding: Complete 3 > 1 K-Drive races
• Eternal Guardian: Complete 2 Void Armageddon missions rounds. Changed to Elite Weekly.
• High Ground: Complete 3 Void Flood Missions Seal 3 Void Flood Ruptures (i.e. the bare minimum needed to activate extraction). Changed to Elite Weekly.
• Finely Tuned: Play 2 > 1 different Shawzin songs in Duviri
• Cache Hunter: Find 6 caches across any Sabotage missions. Non-Sabotage caches will now count towards progress.
• Day Trader: Win 3 wagers in a row without letting the enemy score in one match of The Index (Thank. Fucking. God).
• Perplexed: Complete 3 > 1 puzzles in Duviri. Changed to Weekly.
• Elite Explorer: Complete 8 > 6 Railjack Missions.
• Fallen Angel: Kill 5 > 3 Void Angels in The Zariman.

They will remove both the "Confiscated" and "Friendly Fire" tasks, both of which involve hijacking an enemy crewship which no serious railjack crew does (plus, Corpus crewships suck for the latter because the pilot's shots don't home in).

And here's our upcoming tasks:
Daily:

• Whole Arsenal: Get a kill with your Primary, Secondary and Melee weapons within 10 seconds.
• Artist: Customize a piece of equipment’s colours.

Weekly:

• To Ashes: Dissolve an Arcane for Vosfor (definitely something quest-gated lel).
• Bow Offense: Kill 150 enemies with a Primary Bow.
• Rifle Offense: Kill 150 enemies with a Primary Rifle.
• Sniper Offense: Kill 150 enemies with a Primary Sniper Rifle.
• Shotgun Offense: Kill 150 enemies with a Primary Shotgun.
• Void Net: Collect 30 Void Traces (a cinch if you have a resource booster and a pet with Resourceful Retriever).

Elite Weekly

• Elementary, My Dear: Complete 3 successful Conversions in the Alchemy game mode.
• Going Down: Defeat Roathe in Descendia.
• Hold the Mushrooms: Collect 6 mushrooms from the Deepmines (fine by me, I love the Deepmines).
• Battle Hardened: Complete the Perita Rebellion with 6 or more orders completed (just as I get all the resources for my last Tauron weapon and its nodes).
• Spider Hunt: Complete an Isleweaver Duviri Mission (fuck, Eight Claw left a bad taste in my mouth so I'm not looking forward to this one).
• Treasure from the Past: Complete a Netracell.

Pablo trying to pull the "will people get mad at me" while ignoring why people nearly twisted his head off over Hildryn kind of pissed me off.

That's the gayest shit I've ever read. Ember technically had a shitty rework once upon a time so she's no longer eligible for a new rework to make her actually good? Buzz off with that retarded logic. It's even more retarded when you realize how much money they're leaving on the table, Ember already has 2 deluxe skins and the heirloom skin, it's such a waste that they're stuck on a a garbage ass frame. The glacial speed with which they revise old content and fix shit that should've been fixed a decade ago is genuinely infuriating. They obviously need more devs and a team dedicated to actually fixing shit instead of Pablo doing the odd change once in a blue moon. The backlog for old stuff that needs looking at grows faster than the actual revisions.

Had plenty of free time as I was stuck in Hold Music Hell.

Thing is, her last rework was like 7 fucking years ago.

So, Banshee is going to be getting one of her augments melded into her base ability and it's either going to be Sonic Fracture or Resonance. Resonating Quake is changes her ability to much and Savage Silence is already strong enough at shutting down enemy abilities. Probably more likely to be Sonic Fracture since it'll be easier to create a new augment for that ability compared to Resonance, though pretty much everyone already uses Resonance enough to the point that it might as well be part of her base kit.

Would I like some tweaks to Ember so she's not the third worst fire-based Warframe? Yes
Is it the most important thing in the game right now and worth pushing up the pipeline? No.

Silence is one of the most powerful debuffs in the game, I only hope it doesn't get nerfed. Ability to make enemies not do the annoying things that they do is OP and pretty much everyone is sleeping on it.

Which one? If you're talking about THE faggot writer, then that would be Cam Rogers, Ticker is his self-insert. Checking up on him now, I found out that he's not working for them anymore, so there must be another faggot writer, probably multiple.

Best guess is Kathryn Kingsley, former Chief of Staff at Volition who was hired weeks after the failure of Zoomer's Row (which took Volition down with it).

I don't think anyone is sleeping on it, it's a fairly popular subsume. But that also means there's no reason to play Banshee when one of the very few things that make her good is transferable to everyone else.

Isn't that the bitch in charge of all the KIM shit? They act like it's such a monumental achievement, but to me it was always cringe as fuck. I'm pretty sure no one typed the way these people do in the 90's, a lot of anachronistic slang as well.
I thought she was just some romance writer, which was bad enough. Shiiiit...

Well yeah, she doesn't have the spice that would make her fun to play on her own, that was always a problem. On paper, Sonar is amazing and Silence is great as we discussed, but her other two abilities don't really do anything in general gameplay, so ironically she's lacking "oomph".

I was wrong; the lead writer is Adrian Bott, who took over after Cam Rogers stepped down to writer.

Yeet her into the sun. KIM is dogshit and I haven’t played since I unlocked it besides to show a fren some dojos.

If it was the guy, yeet him too.

He said similar shit when people asked about Chroma and/or Loki getting a rework, saying "they had their time in the sun". Doesn't change the fact Chroma feels awful compared to other frames.

"they had their time in the sun"

DE devs try not to hold a grudge against current or former meta picks: challenge level impossible.

Never forget that they nerfed Chroma by making his damage and armor boosts additive to mods purely because of Eidolons. You know, that piece of content that is basically dead.

Thank fucking God.

Day Trader: Win 3 wagers in a row without letting the enemy score in one match of The Index (Thank. Fucking. God).

I'm kinda surprised by the reactions, was this really that bad? I just played Dante the whole way through and did mine with that same stipulation on my first random squad queue.

I even went and did it a second time to help another friend do it, and we still denied the enemies any points when that one turned out to be on Steel Path by accident. Both of these times, it was piss-easy.

Exactly. If you have friends, it's not that big of an issue. However, if you don't, you're stuck with randoms who are too fucking stupid to so much as stand in a circle and shoot things. It's also just not fun. Sitting around playing goalie for multiple rounds is just not fun. Honestly, I think Nightwave works best when it nudges players towards content.

Like I said, the first time around I did it in a public queue with a random squad, and I was specifically going around killing the already limpdick AI “investors” with a high parkour speed Dante build. I think there might have been one or two people standing guard, but I also seem to recall them nearly letting one of the bots score before I cinched a kill on it. Maybe I just got lucky.

If you wanna abuse the bug before it gets patched out, you can ruin public Dog Days lobbies by using Sirius & Orion and pressing hotkeys to access stuff on your gear wheel (namely, your archgun deployer).

Dog Day's is such a slog that even with using the bug it takes forever to get anything.

It also doesn't help that you get that one player who, while running a frame that can laugh off the health penalties from stacking points, will insist on collecting as much points as possible when the stacking bonus caps out at 20 and it's generally more efficient to score once you have 15 points.
