They've had a few significant discounts since launch but none of them on any of the ticket items.

Their gacha system in the game is a bit of a pain.

It's only a matter of time before they start selling starchrom for real $

starchrom is the main currency for purchasing premium gear

You can get starchrom in the game, mind you

[pure zinc]

Gacha games are horrible tbh

So are games like sky cotl

Egregious monetization

Too expensive for the average player

[sweet ermine]

i used to play genshin...

[dull tulip]

I'll fight you

I agree with the monetization issues.

However Star Rail, Genshin, Zenless, and Wuwa have beautiful visuals, absolutely fantastic music, and they're fun to play

[pure zinc]

Yea

[dull tulip]

Story can be hit n miss, but normally I absolutely adore the characters

[pure zinc]

But the monetization issues nullify all of that for me

[dull tulip]

Yeah totally fair

They are pretty F2P friendly but ya gotta be active daily and lil patient

[pure zinc]

And honestly with genshin specifically, the fact that it was a gacha game ruined the game entirely for me, and I would’ve rathered like an armor system so you can express yourself in the amazing world they built

Character creator

And have skills you unlock

[dull tulip]

I love Aether and Lumine

[pure zinc]

With cool arts and abilities

[dull tulip]

I'm normally super obsessed with character creators too

[pure zinc]

Also it doesn’t help that my ex who abused me was a huge fan of that game either

[dull tulip]

Oh that's right, I think I remember you mentioning that. I'm sorry some asshat fucked up your enjoyment of the game

[pure zinc]

It is what it is tbh

I wish there was a game that was like a mix of elden ring, monster hunter, and breath of the wild / tears of the kingdom
That would honestly be my perfect game

[dull tulip]

Yes, absolutely agree

[pure zinc]

Also with endless armor customization

I’ve always wanted to be a knight in a game that looked like this

Or something similar

[dull tulip]

Reminds me lil of my Hunter in D2. Without the chain skirt.

I love the knight light armor look almost leaning into rogue kind of style

Also helmets with hoods

[pure zinc]

Like the fallen knight armor from dark souls 3

[dull tulip]

😩 I love dark souls and bloodborne fashion

[pure zinc]

Agreed

[dull tulip]

I just wanna look both fancy n creepy. I prefer all black with some silvers, greys, n reds

I'm also a sucker for floral designs, lace, thin soft cloth, chains, and thigh high boots

When I have those options in a game I'm so happy

Since dark souls was mentioned. The Dancer of the Boreal Valley is absolutely gorgeous.

[sweet ermine]

the souls games dont do anything for me all 6 feel the same with just a little change in total.... i mean bloodbourn is basicaly everything with a motherand birthfetish and wet

[sweet ermine]

and with the colors named after the paints you can make yours easily yourself

[mental rose]

And chaos marines are (understandably) limited to the PvP mode

[sweet ermine]

wouldnt make sense otherwise

[dry copper]

So they're trolls?

[sweet ermine]

no. its a loyalist campaign

and even when you say yeah but the blood ravens are a thousand sons loyalist sucessor.... thats non confirmed

[mental rose]

Though if I'm understanding correctly, you can unlock their skins and cosplay (for lack of a better word) as your favorite warband in the PvE mode

From watching these preview gameplay vids

[sweet ermine]

yeah, you unlock stuff via missions

[modern panther]

y'all know how if a planet is close enough to a star is won't have a day/night cycle and instead have one frozen and one molten half?

you think a game akin to HZD set on a planet like that would be cool?

[coarse swift]

aye System Shock

[lament otter]

only problem is these worlds cant really support life, as one side is molten hot while the other is freezing cold. it is hypothesized there is a band around the planet that is "habitable." however making a game set there would serve little to no purpose imo, simply because the world would gain very little from this setting, cant go onto the molten hot side, as its molten hot; cant go onto the freezing cold side, as its freezing cold. World could look interesting, being that close to a star, but also there are otherways to accomplish the same thing imo

[dry copper]

No.

holy shit, i never thought bout that xD

nothing seemed unordinary at least to me

[silver sparrow]

i don't think cheaters are transmitting their cheats

[inland oasis]

what i mean is they still died, clearly had no aimbot, and werent zooming around speedhacking. lol

[silver sparrow]

oh

[inland oasis]

also, this moose was a TANK. 3 headshots, like 2-3 buckshot shots xD

[silver sparrow]

you're playing multiplayer call of the wild??

and they died???

[inland oasis]

Not MP but that game yes

wait wut

the names are from D2

[silver sparrow]

well that context wasn't clear 😛

i'm like "how do you die in hunter"

[inland oasis]

it was an iykyk moment. lmao usernames in destiny 2 are rly distinguishable. unless u dont play it

[silver sparrow]

i doesn't

[inland oasis]

cant blame ya

[silver sparrow]

i just started playing first descendant, which is supposed to be d2 + warframe + cash cow microtransactions

[inland oasis]

oh ive heard alot about that....more negative than anything 😅

hope ya like it tho

[silver sparrow]

it's too easy but it's fun pve plinking

Kinda where I'm at with warfame atm ngl

Basically a pure particle effect dopamine dispenser fest 😂

[silver sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/ghost-busters-holding-on-keep-going-gif-9935479

[austere lance]

I don't understand the cash cow thing, Warframe is just as bad if it not worse. At least in The First Descendant you get 10 free slots for Descendents, in Warframe if you want more than two you have to pay premium currency or grind battle passes 😆

[balmy plaza]

I think the main difference is that there's no trading or way to get premium currency for free

Iirc

At least beyond a certain free amount

[austere lance]

"But it's $20 for skins!"
Brother, defo don't go looking at cool Frame skin prices if you're offended by that 😆

[austere lance]

This is true. But trading is also heinous to do (I unfortunately have a lot of experience with it) and casual players don't even bother and just buy plat

[balmy plaza]

Yeah trade chat is terrible tbf. I really enjoy warfame market though. I think a big realisation for me recently is how cheap some prime warframes actually are if you trade for them

[mental rose]

Fun fact, actually.
The devs removed a lootbox-style purchase that gives you a bundle of mods. Because someone was buying it too much.

This was years ago

[balmy plaza]

A lot are cheaper than the base frame from the market

I think gauss prime cost me like 50pl? Not a highly popular one but still

[austere lance]

Now they have lootboxes for other things, lol

[balmy plaza]

I'll forever be glad that they removed the pet feeding system 😂

[inland oasis]

You can buy frame slots for plat, and get plat by playing and selling to players.

Issa grind but never felt forced to me personally. I only caved cuz I got one of the 75% off discounts

[balmy plaza]

Yeah it's super easy to earn enough plat to progress without paying

If you're opening your relics etc

[inland oasis]

The whole market is the hardest part

Just getting someone to follow thru with a trade

Reminds me of the old RuneScape grand exchange. Sitting around for like an hour spamming “rune full set 60k first to trade”

[balmy plaza]

If you're on PC, warfame market usually avoids that issue

[inland oasis]

The website?

[balmy plaza]

Yeah

[inland oasis]

Practically NEEDED

lmao yea

[balmy plaza]

It's annoying that ducats and specific rivens aren't on there though :/

Would be nice to sell prime junk through it

[inland oasis]

I wish they just had an npc that offered a HUGELY handicapped price on things. Like something that’d be 50 plat, it would give 2-3 for.

I see why they don’t tho. People that no life wouldn’t ever buy anymore

But I’d totally sell instantly for super cheap instead of waiting for a player all the time

[primal loom]

Darvo Deals are definitely not a ripoff an excellent value for your hard-earned platinum

That is pretty badass, though the headwings are a bit strange though

[sweet ermine]

Beliebe me, x is all Kinds of mid 00's cool

Clear casing and enough firepower for a gundam

[viral dagger]

Heh Falcon Armor’s design alone was already giving off Gundam vibes lol

[sweet ermine]

His normal Upgrade is neat, buildin knuckleduster, and energyscarf

[viral dagger]

The energy scarf is pretty sick ngl

[sweet ermine]

its exhaust when he runs

[viral dagger]

Fr?

[sweet ermine]

yea

the game is all about a group maverics trying to get a metal that insanely enhances power and x new armor is for dispersing exess energy

[viral dagger]

Wasn’t there another armor in the game too apart from that big ass new Ultimate Armor?

[sweet ermine]

yeah his x cross

[viral dagger]

Yeah! That one!

Saw an image of it somewhere before

[sweet ermine]

its one of his ultimate armors

[viral dagger]

Pretty wild heh

[sweet ermine]

well the tank is so heavy he doesnt run, he hovertanks like a ms-dom

thats the games tank, steel massimo

then there is a healer called Cinnamin, a ninja called marino, a gambler called Spider. and Axl as...himself

[dry copper]

You can literally get every single frame in the pay part of the game for free just by doing missions to get the parts and then crafting them.

Including weapons

At worst, it's pay for convenience.

Sure as shit ain't winning. It's not a PVP game at heart.

[sweet ermine]

so you can get all frame. how many of them at the same time?

[dry copper]

At the same time? You can't use two frames at the same time, paid or otherwise.

Further, they regularly give away super rare prime ones for free on Twitch, just for watching streamers on the game

[sweet ermine]

i mean complete frames in storage

[dry copper]

You can get every single one of them that aren't vaulted. They vault warframes like seasons. Nobody can get a vaulted warframe until they are taken back out - Paid or otherwise.

[sweet ermine]

dunno if you dont get what i say or troll.... i mean switching the frame between missions lets say you got a harrow prime for this, then go kullevro for the next then wanna switch to yraeli then excalibur prime. with how many frames can ya do it . or how many weapons can you have before you need to buy more storage?

when you start you have 2 warframeslots and 8 weaponslots

everything else has to be bought with premium currency

[dry copper]

You mean platinum? - Which can be obtained in game.

The easiest way to get platinum is crack relics and sell their parts.

https://warframe.market/

[sweet ermine]

painfully low amounts. just enough to empathizehow easy it is to spend real money on it....

[dry copper]

Yeah because it's pay for convenience.

IE - Less time earning ingame

I get your frustration. I've been there - Wanting something now...not later.

I stopped playing warframe because it's too fast paced and not focused enough for my liking. It's a good game, but it's a blur to me.

[sweet ermine]

all freemium games are like this.... warframe is just another cashgrab easing you to spend small amounts so its easyer to get you to spend big

[dry copper]

and I have a half dozen rare primes, too

No. Not all freemium games are

[idle saffron]

I haven't paid them any money and have all the frames and a ton of primes

[dry copper]

You can get everything in warframe by playing it. Most don't let you do that.

Most don't encourage. They force.

The more you dig the game, the more fun you have and less stress getting things becomes.

Focus too much on what you don't have and what you want, it's no longer the game has a problem

It's you.

For the record though....You only need one warframe to have fun.

Its name is Octavia

Play music for everyone

Don't listen to those Gauss fanatics

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osiq261541w

I kinda hate how crazy the FOV gets at high speeds

[mental rose]

Unless you've stockpiled relics before the time it was vaulted

I still remember Ember Prime set costing 2000+ platinum in the player market. It was vaulted for the longest time, years ago. 😄

[dry copper]

Shhh. Don't tell people how to rig the game

[marble idol]

https://youtu.be/yjL2lKIdsKc

[inland oasis]

Warframe doesn’t force payment whatsoever. I can’t stand hearing that lie

[mental rose]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWSgze_kQuU

[tame cairn]

i played warframe for a bit

grind was too much for me..

[inland oasis]

yea it is a grind. and itll make you feel like paying cuz some of the things that use plat is annoying. for example. building something in the foundry, THEN having to wait X hours for it to build. sometimes 24-48-72 hours i think. so it costs like 50 plat to "skip" it. making it "feel" forced

id admit its fairly predatoryish, but in a diff way

[pure zinc]

Without friends to play it with too, it can be a slog of a game at first

[inland oasis]

yea i remember being stuck on a few spots before i finally had the randoms to help me

[coarse swift]

Almost like you can go do something else while you wait

[pure zinc]

Honestly, I disagree. I think the way warframe does it’s monetization is perfect for the kind of game it is, not only because it allows the whales to spend a lot of money on the game which gives them more money to make their game better, but also because it allows the free player to experience an entire game without spending a penny

[coarse swift]

Instead of rapidly consuming the whole game all at once

[inland oasis]

true, but a game incentivising you to do something else is the opposite of what a game is. games are supposed to attract you, keep you reeled in

[coarse swift]

That's subjective

If you don't wanna keep playing it, that's entirely up to you. Not like every game is made for everyone

[pure zinc]

Games are a form of art / entertainment for me

[coarse swift]

Calling Warframe predatory tho when it's the prime example of a f2p game done right is certainly a choice tho

[pure zinc]

True ^

[inland oasis]

never called IT predatory

i said some of the things they chose to implement plat features on are to me

[pure zinc]

Predatoryish

[inland oasis]

not THE game

[coarse swift]

By extension

Bout the only thing I can think of that is predatory in that game is the plat to credits bundles. Those have no reason to be there, but anyone with common sense would know better

An index run gets you what the high roller bundle would with ease

I've never felt it necessary to spend plat on rushing my craftables tho. 12-24 hours on the gun? Alright, Ill get to it tomorrow. I've played enough today

[inland oasis]

taking predatoryish too literally. i just think it asks for plat in too many areas. not that doint it at all is bad

but again its all a choice

not forced

[mental rose]

Speaking of credits, part of me still misses the Trials (aka. Raids)
That juicy 300k for 3 chained missions that you could do in like... 30-45min was so good.
Especially because there was a 90% chance you could get a free cred booster too. 😄

[coarse swift]

There's one definition for "predatoryish" what are you even trying to say

[inland oasis]

look i aint tryna argue

[coarse swift]

How else am I supposed to take that but literally lol

[inland oasis]

im exageratting

[coarse swift]

[pure zinc]

Plat can be gained for free too

[mental rose]

Unlike ubisoft though, Warframe doesn't nerf your default XP rate

[inland oasis]

yea the player market

[mental rose]

Ubisoft LOVES their boosters...

[pure zinc]

Ubisoft is garbo

[coarse swift]

Warframe boosters are nice to have but the default rate feels fair

I can still reasonably level my stuff

[mental rose]

Hell, you can even get few hours of booster time with the daily login system if you're lucky

And it snowballs the more days you have logged in

Warframe also deserves special mention for Tennogen.
How many games feature player-made skins so actively, and all the time?

[coarse swift]

And you make money off of it as a creator

[mental rose]

Ye. 50/50 split

[charred badge]

Bit of a weird question:
Is it possible to run a hotspot from a fully functioning phone to a phone with no SIM and allow that second phone to play Pokemon go on the move?

My gremlin wants to play, but doesn't have a phone plan

[charred badge]

How many allow players to sell their made skins on the in-game market for a fair share of the price?

[inland oasis]

do they even get a say in the price?

[charred badge]

No, they're more or less standardized

[mental rose]

9,99€ for a weapon skin and 19,99€ for a Warframe skin afaik.

It's been a while since I last played

[charred badge]

Same. I got overwhelmed with new content at my working dad gaming limits

Also my work VPN keeps getting banned, so I can't play on break

https://medal.tv/games/delta-force-hawk-ops/clips/isD9jckLB6qAU9Unw

This new game demo is insanely awesome, FREE also. But took about 24 hours to get my permission. You just click request on steam

It’s called delta force hawk ops

It also has a team extraction mode similar to tarkov.

Takes me back to the classic battlefield games

[sleek cloud]

Delta Force was i think the very first game i played online and grew up playing them. This new Hawk Ops has been a lot of fun, got invited to play it today and played a bit of it.

a bit different to the OG Delta Force

[inland oasis]

Yea one of my friends mentioned it’s like a “basic” tarkov and I had to see. After playing that a bit I tried the other mode and goddamn. It’s so fun. I used to have that game too. Fave thing to do was cut the palm trees down with the gun you have there. Or the m24 sniper

[inland oasis]

Ahh nostalgia

[sleek cloud]

i've still got a couple of Delta Force games on CD

[inland oasis]

I’ve only had that one cuz it used to be my brothers. And now this recent modern one I’m most likely going to get. Can’t wait to see the kind of story mode they’ll have

[sleek cloud]

i remember buying Delta Force Task Force Dagger and Delta Force 2 in a twin pack from GAME. Got home, opened them up and there was no CD!!! So went back to GAME and got them to put the CD's in. Since then, every time i've brought anything with a CD/DVD i give the case a little shake to make sure it's in there 😄

[inland oasis]

Ahhh I remember those days. Back when they had a huge cabinet full of sleeved discs they had to get cuz all the cases were display only 😂

[sleek cloud]

it was the same GAME shop i got a brand new copy of Hitman for like £2 because they put the wrong price sticker on it. Manager was there and let me have it for £2 😄

supposed to have been about £30

[inland oasis]

Beating the system like that back then, was the most empowering feeling ever 😂

[sleek cloud]

definitely 😄

[silver sparrow]

I have a signed copy of F451 that was 15$ instead of 80$

[sleek cloud]

unfortunately those days are more or less over. The GAME shop is on its last legs and you only find them tucked in the corner of a sports shop

[sleek cloud]

don't really have anything signed except a book and poster by Karl Pilkington 😄 (if you know who that is)

[silver sparrow]

Of The Pilkington Five???

[sleek cloud]

no he's some random British guy that Ricky Gervais discovered when he was doing a radio show

[silver sparrow]

I see

[sleek cloud]

i only got the book because i wrote a blog post about Karl and someone reached out saying how much they enjoyed reading it. So at first they sent me a book (unsigned) then 2 weeks later a signed copy with a poster that was also signed lol

[silver sparrow]

Nice!

[limber echo]

hell yeah

im at hydroplant rn and man its difficult

[obtuse reef]

Unfortunate

[limber echo]

just dont forget to bring healing syringes B)

[obtuse reef]

We use healing briefcases

All of us carry at least one

[limber echo]

shi thats probably more effective

[obtuse reef]

Honestly, it’s better for multiplayer, since you can heal all players to full with one case

[limber echo]

yeah true

[obtuse reef]

I’ve been “entrusted” (by that I mean I called dibs) on the Antique Shotgun, but we haven’t been killing any Breachers

[limber echo]

....

[obtuse reef]

I’m also trying to get the energy pistol, is it any good?

[limber echo]

meh

its pretty good against the aliens but not so much the order

[obtuse reef]

Good to know

I figure the ammo economy is pretty good

[limber echo]

i think how absolutely little charge it has makes it kinda useless and better to just use the grinder

nah its charge based not ammo

and it runs outta charge really quick which sucks

[obtuse reef]

I meant more in how cheap it is to use

[limber echo]

ohhh right

[obtuse reef]

And with charging stations pretty much everywhere (assuming it’s daytime), it’s probably not a horrible choice over melee weapons or the electro thrower

[limber echo]

probably good to carry like 2 of them if youre gonna be using them for aliens

[obtuse reef]

I also made the carbon pickaxe, which is a pretty effective weapon (as far as melee goes)

[limber echo]

honestly one of my issues with ABF is how it seems like items with charge have very little charge

[obtuse reef]

Apparently the radio backpack reduces battery usage

And I think it only has two less slots than military backpack

[limber echo]

how tf you get the recipe for carbon pickaxe

[obtuse reef]

That’s a good question. I think you need carbon plating

[limber echo]

hm

i havent found that

[obtuse reef]

Which needs carbon and carapace

Carbon in labs and carapace in the Mycofields

[limber echo]

what does it look like in mycofields?

[obtuse reef]

You need to sneak up on those little bug things and whack em and you’ll get a few carapace

It’s also used to make the really good carapace armor, which gives a thorns effect and 64 armor with the full set

[limber echo]

dude

thats actually crazy i never knew you could kill those little things

thank you lmao

do you know of a renewable way to get carbon?

[obtuse reef]

I didnt know until my friend told me to lol

[obtuse reef]

You can trade silver scrap for it, which is found on the train, which resets with every other portal world

[limber echo]

oooooooooooohhh

shi im dumb

[obtuse reef]

Nah you’re good

[limber echo]

also i really hope later in the game's life cycle we have more alien aesthetic stuff

i'd love a barrel that has the look of the little sinks found in the mycofields

[obtuse reef]

Honestly, I do like the weird sprawling facility is pretty cool

And I liked the vibe of the furniture store and Flathill

Oh, have you sat in the red chair yet?

[limber echo]

idk how to

[obtuse reef]

Oh, go into Containment Block Dirac and find the room with the red chair

There’s also a room with The Presence

It’s tucked away in the observation rooms, but just stand in it for like a minute

It’s also in C.Block Dirac, with all the other cool anomalies. Like the shotgun

It’s just a regular shotgun, but it wasn’t. At some point.

[limber echo]

shiii gimme a sec to go there

got my base kinda far

[obtuse reef]

Yeah, our base is right next to the cafeteria. The security cart really helps with going far, as does unlocking all the shortcuts

[limber echo]

yeah i gotta hook the vehicles up

tired of running back and forth

mtv cribs

[obtuse reef]

The security cart just makes all the transport really fast, especially in multiplayer

[limber echo]

fuck.... this..

[obtuse reef]

Walking is good for sprinting XP

[limber echo]

IDK WHERE TO GO

IM IN THE POOL ROOM

[obtuse reef]

Um, the first security cart is in the first entrance to labs next to the cola machine

[chrome comet]

Mgsv is fun

Even if i lose my will to live trying to S rank every mission

[limber echo]

dude idk how to get out of the pool room

[obtuse reef]

Wait, you sat in the red chair?

[limber echo]

mhm

[obtuse reef]

Maybe that’s on me… anyways, you need to find a button, it’s a little camouflaged but can be kinda easily spotted

If you hear stomping, just go the other way

[limber echo]

i just died

didnt really have anything on me

[obtuse reef]

Sorry to hear that, probably should’ve warned you about the, well, everything

[limber echo]

lmaoo

nah it was fun

[obtuse reef]

Thought it might be more entertaining for everyone if you went in blind

[limber echo]

tried to kill the monster

[obtuse reef]

Oh, I did warn you about that, albeit vaguely

[limber echo]

man im so confused cuz i dont have any of the new laser stuff yet

probably just gotta get through hydroplant more

[limber echo]

where can i trade it? warren or the blacksmith

although im boutta check warren lmao

[obtuse reef]

It’s in labs, but in the dangerous half, not the wildlife pens

[obtuse reef]

Why does he need an alien seed shaped like a human skull

[limber echo]

ooooooooooohhhhh right right

i forget those little things exist

[obtuse reef]

Warren is an asshole, apparently everyone thinks so

[limber echo]

i like warren

also hot take

i think the order is cool..... buuuutttt i think theyre such a big prescence that its kinda annoying

cuz i like fighting the aliens more

[obtuse reef]

The order are cool, just wish they dropped more shotgun shells

Mostly because I want to use my boomstick

[limber echo]

real

also you might wanna check but i think labs got refreshed with this update

all the carbon and anteverse gems respawned for me

[obtuse reef]

My friend just enabled loot respawn

But it might’ve gotten refreshed

[limber echo]

nice nice

oh yeah have you crafted the tri lamp yet?

[obtuse reef]

My friend has, when we moved bases

We used to live in the swimming pool area but it quickly got too small

[limber echo]

ahhh yeah

but yeah the tri lamp sucks butt

better to just wait for the furniture store to reload and grab all the lamps

[obtuse reef]

You can also use wall lamps

[limber echo]

yee

[obtuse reef]

They’re cheap and still work

[limber echo]

office lamps look nicer tho

[obtuse reef]

I’m in charge of decorating our base, simply because my two friends couldn’t be bothered to decorate any further than making wires look okay

[limber echo]

dammmnn

the room im building in is getting very annoying to maintain but im committed and too lazy to move

[obtuse reef]

I like collecting paintings and stealing highly dangerous anomalies and using them as tasteless decor

[limber echo]

real

[obtuse reef]

Do you know about the unassuming bell?

[limber echo]

ye the room that cahn is in

[obtuse reef]

Yeah, the bell now lives on a nice armchair next to the dripped out skeleton

[limber echo]

hell yeah

i hope at some point they release some of the creatures in containment

[obtuse reef]

Supposedly it’s a dangerous shape shifting entity

[limber echo]

coworker

[obtuse reef]

Apparently you can kill the coworker

[limber echo]

now who would do that

[obtuse reef]

People who don’t want a dangerous alien capable of mimicking a human being nearly perfectly around them

[limber echo]

shame

[obtuse reef]

Have you found the Composer in C. Blocks?

[limber echo]

uuhhh no

damn im missing alot lmfao

[obtuse reef]

He’s top floor, same side as C Block Dirac

Poor bastard is stuck in a tiny cell after being tortured

[limber echo]

poor guy

honestly i hope if theres ever a sequel its about being a survivor after the facility breaches completely

although Gate Cascade isnt the only facility lol

[obtuse reef]

I don’t particularly like the Composers, I think they’re a bit creepy, but they don’t deserve what happened to them

[obtuse reef]

You can actually visit Gate’s bio lab in Flathill

Called Rise

[limber echo]

what the hell am i missing

or is that just the giant tower

[obtuse reef]

Yeah

[limber echo]

ah okok

[obtuse reef]

I’m interested in lore mainly when I run out of things to do

[limber echo]

i cant wait to meet Dr Manse and we have to self destruct the facility and he drops the hardest line ever

[obtuse reef]

That or we punch him in the face

[limber echo]

"yknow at this point, we're actually the abiotic factor in this entire situation"

[obtuse reef]

Justice for that one Composer

[limber echo]

[obtuse reef]

Because it’s just about all but confirmed that Manse was at least partly responsible for that Composer being tortured. It had its weird spikes on its back removed, which is apparently how they communicate

[limber echo]

damn

i do like his character tho

[obtuse reef]

He is interesting as a person

[limber echo]

cuz he seems very reluctant to do what he does but has to do it for the sake of science n shi

[obtuse reef]

We don’t actually know his thoughts on the entire breach

We do know his thoughts on the Order

[limber echo]

we definitely know he's not the one who caused it because he brings up the insider first

[obtuse reef]

Apparently the Order isn’t their actual name, he just forgot their pretentious name

[limber echo]

based as shit

[obtuse reef]

They apparently have a very powerful artifact (not the Lens) that he really wants his hands on

[limber echo]

ye i heard that log in security

[obtuse reef]

Did you read the email about the targets in the firing range?

[limber echo]

uhhh no

[obtuse reef]

Apparently the targets have lab coats on them

[limber echo]

cuz i was shitting my pants the whole time with the reaper hoe

[obtuse reef]

The reaper disappears after you enter the portal lol

[limber echo]

i see i see

but yeah the lore is pretty rad

[obtuse reef]

Oh yeah, I love what the devs have done with their world building

[limber echo]

i hope we get to meet manse at some point towards the end of the game

and he drops a gnarly 3-4 minute monologue

part of me also hopes the game has a dark ending

[obtuse reef]

Anyways, I’m off to bed, nice talking about Abiotic with ya

[limber echo]

ye yeee

sleep well gamer

[orchid fox]

only one that shall not be killed under any circumstance is this boi

couldnt care less if discount sonic got killed

[mental rose]

I remember when I was trying to teach my friend to use CB...
What made it terrible was the fact I was teaching over a control barrier. She uses KB/M and I use gamepad.

[austere lance]

I've cleared out literally everything in the base game except Malenia, I'm still underleveled for the final boss 😆

FromSoft really wants mages to grind levels at the stupid hill, lol

[tame cairn]

yeahhh

faith incantations seem better than sorcery

[tame cairn]

mohgs hill?

im assuming

honestly i havent grinded once except for that old ball cliff tactic to get a few thousand to buy items

i think im level 74? and i just beat radahn

charged heavy attacks go crazyy

[mental rose]

I don't remember if I've asked this before, but hexes don't exist in Elden Ring, right?
Or Dark element

[idle saffron]

Just irl afaik

[austere lance]

Yep

I speedrun my way to there at the start of every playthrough 😆

[austere lance]

No, just Black Flame

[tame cairn]

hell yea

[tame cairn]

i wish

thats the saddest part too

it would fit well

considering there's Holy

something to be the opposite of that would be nice

i guess there's death blight

but that's not really the same, looks cool tho

[mental rose]

Unfortunate...

[austere lance]

Destined Death

[tame cairn]

oh yeaahhhh

forgor about that one

maliketh has that right?

black flame is pretty cool

frenzy is my favorite status effect in ER, the worst part is that enemies and bosses don't build up with madness

so its useless

lmao

pvp, its good though

[austere lance]

Destined Death is a hella OP status effect that's literally the opposite of holy damage, lol. The only issue is it's incredibly rare to unlock. Your only ways to use it are through the weapon art on Maliketh's blade, the incantation you can get from him, and from summoning Black Knife Tiche as your spirit ash

[tame cairn]

yeaah

i used it a bit, but never really liked it

now that i remember its a thing i might try to use it

[austere lance]

It's why Tiche is my favorite summon, way more than Mimic Tear. She melts bosses when she's at +10 cuz she uses Destined a lot

[tame cairn]

Vyke's War Spear is so cool and the Ash of War is nice. I really wish it built up madness on bosses and enemies

it's the ONLY madness weapon too

besides the shield

in base game

[austere lance]

Frenzy skills do so much damage if you build for them that they don't need to do madness on bosses, lol. You can melt em through straight damage

[tame cairn]

sadly i tried to do that and could never get it strong enough

i might try again

madness proc would still be very nice

since it basically makes that weapon useless

Mimic Tear probably wouldnt work well for my build honestly

since most of my damage comes from charged heavy attacks, golden vow, and flame grant me strength

and the physick

[austere lance]

Mimic doesn't work with my pure mage build, so I hide behind Tiche 😆

[austere lance]

Tiche and Dung Eater are the best ash summons in the game btw, besides your mimic @tame cairn

Both require quite a bit of work tho. One requires you doing all of Ranni's quest line and fighting a crazy hard evergaol boss, the other requires you doing like half her quest line til you get a certain potion, doing most of Dung Eater's quest line, then giving him the potion

[proper anchor]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkOcCV2SeMI

[tame cairn]

well, cant do either then i think sadly

i messed up and went to an altus grace before even doing anything with her

besides like the very beginning church thing

[austere lance]

You're fine, as far as I'm aware. Just go through Caria Manor and see if she's at Ranni's Rise

The only way to lock yourself out of her ending is to take the Frenzied Flame, but even then you can purge yourself of it by doing Milicent's quest line

[pure zinc]

… oops

[pure zinc]

Gamepad is the only right way to play

[coarse swift]

Murderer

[pure zinc]

Oops

[frigid yarrow]

Viana, Assasins Creed Brotherhood

Constantinople, Assasins Creed Revelations

[tame cairn]

shes not there

so im guessing i need to do millicents quest

which ive done a bit already

going to altus before then messes with ranni so she wouldnt be there

same with radahn festival

i had to beat radahn to then do the boss in that castle

before radahn

[tame cairn]

fr??

dont take my word for it im new to the game too i just find it faster to get to the boss fights

[echo hill]

generally i think you want to go for elite fights because they give you relics which help a ton

[dry copper]

Take Shira's word for it. FIGHT THE MAAAN

[echo hill]

that being said, i just ended an elite fight with 3 health lmao

[quaint escarp]

i mean yeah but does silent heal on end

[echo hill]

nope

[quaint escarp]

yeah then yeah u kinda dont want to take too many elites then

its pretty rng tho, if u get sucky cards and bad relics ur not doing much

i just roll the dice on the mystery events

im also playing with modded decks so once i unlocked the 3rd deck i went to custom

its not easier but has more unique cards

@obtuse reef So I've played a few Stellaris MP games with my brother and his friends and I need a second opinion.
Is it a good strat to send your science ships to explore systems to find chokepoints, instead of immediately surveyeing every system they enter?

[obtuse reef]

Depends on if you want to play tall (few systems but highly developed) or wide (lot of not very developed systems)

If you’re playing tall it’s better to just focus on defending the few systems you got

[mental rose]

Oh, I see

[obtuse reef]

But if you have a lot of systems, focus on limiting entry

[mental rose]

Not sure I can "play tall" yet. I have no idea how to rush the habitat tech. 😄

Unless you pick the Void origin or whatever

Voidforged sounds a lot of fun for machine empires... need to check that at some point

[obtuse reef]

Mostly just rng I think. Maybe you need citadels unlocked as well

[mental rose]

Anyway, my 2nd neighbor for this game. Always glad to see that Receptive stance

1st neighbors are a marauder band... 😒

[obtuse reef]

Yes, it makes it easier to destroy those disgusting organics

[mental rose]

One of my brother's friends in our MP played a Devouring Swarm empire. It was actually depressing seeing all the messages about the faction stations getting destroyed

[frigid yarrow]

With their shift to Asia i was hopeful they would tell the story of Zhao Yun, the young Assasin girl Ezio talks to in Embers, but nope

Generic story in Japan i guess

[sweet ermine]

no they had to look up the only black in all of asias history and construct a fake story about him

DEI. Didnt Earn It

[idle saffron]

[mental rose]

Who are HG again?

[idle saffron]

Bruv

[sweet ermine]

[frigid yarrow]

And even worse

you have to manage both each time they separately get an update

supposing they don't get updates the very same day the other game does

[idle saffron]

You can't ask who HG is when you are typing in a server for a game they made silly

[mental rose]

Ohh, Hello Games

[mental rose]

Sometimes the empire generation in Stellaris doesn't make much sense...
What kind of Aquatic species could evolve on a Savanna (dry) planet??

[tame cairn]

Lol?

rogue isn't even that good itself

it's alr

[tame cairn]

cringe..

[sweet ermine]

well it went to a shitty action rpg. "oh yeah i cant sneak in and onehit that target, i got to grind levels before i bash the enemy to death"

[tame cairn]

the series isn't dead
Yasuke is a Japanese Legend.
a legend is a story that is mostly made up. like king arthur. AC has never been historically accurate

Leonardo Da Vinci didnt have Ezio flying his flying machine btw

ezio didnt fight the pope

they've always taken liberties

because its a sci-fi game

[sweet ermine]

ubisoft made a game about assasins diving into ancestral genetical memory in order to discover secrets from an ancient alien civilisation and mate it GARBAGE

[tame cairn]

while i agree its not that good anymore

saying the series is dead is so very wrong

Valhalla is their best selling AC game lol

[sweet ermine]

every ubisoft game is just a collect all things on the minimap tp progress or buy boosterpacks for material and exp so you dont have to play the game so much anymore

[tame cairn]

just simply, dont pay for the bullshit

i never have

[sweet ermine]

and unless they have a top noch necromancer on the hire they should not use the name tom clancy anymore

[tame cairn]

and yes ubisoft has always been that

since AC1

lol?

[sweet ermine]

for years ubisofts policy is diversity first, monetarisation second and quality maybe

[tame cairn]

ok

you are definitely a redditor

[sweet ermine]

i dont have reddit

[tame cairn]

AC games have always been diverse

[sweet ermine]

yeah but it went embarasingly obvious

[tame cairn]

the assassins creed IS diverse

its an organization that's spread around the world

[tame cairn]

what does this even mean??

Lmao?

give me an example

[sweet ermine]

i meant ubisoft with there fake ass bullshit about some servant being a samurai just so they can pump in some DEI in a game

[tame cairn]

honestly, thats a you problem

and its a crinnge problem to have

AC is Science Fiction.

I hope you will realize that one day.

They aren't historically accurate

[sweet ermine]

based on actual historical events

[tame cairn]

they just take place around them

Connor did NOT assassinate John Pitcairn

at the battle of bunker hill

Even if EVERYTHING was made up about Yasuke

that's no different than any AC protag

🙏

[sweet ermine]

there are tons actual good japanese hiostorical characters but tehy used a black guy for using a teh sake of having a black person as maincharacter

[tame cairn]

why would they do that when their plan was to have a foreigner and a native?

thats odd

[sweet ermine]

at least the woke company is gonna crash soon

[tame cairn]

William Adams was just told again in Shogun

nobody complained

but because its a darker guy

its hell

that's absolute cringe.

[inland path]

you guys heard about the new mpox virus?

[tame cairn]

also it's dual protag and you can use the japanese girl or yasuke for most of the game if you want

its not JUST yasuke

[inland path]

the World Health Organisation is declaring a global state of emergency lmao

[sweet ermine]

its because they tear actual japanese history apart for turning token into a maincharacter. and yeah tehy added the female protagoniost as afterthought

[tame cairn]

which i will be using Naoe the most because she's stealthy

[tame cairn]

this is so wrong

they teased AC Shadows with Naoe first

Yasuke came after

like forever ago

👍

its not tearing any history apart

its a game

holy shit

lol

its a sci fi game

[inland path]

Alien Isolation 2 please, come on SEGA

[sweet ermine]

you can tell me how the story feels after you play both, and wich one has more meat on it and felt made with more care because shure as shit im not even waste bandwith pirating that DEI garbage

[tame cairn]

when AC Shadows trailer dropped

JAPAN IS SO ANGRYY!!

[mental rose]

Still, you have to admit Ubisoft was LAZY with their booth in... game con somewhere.
Using items you can find on Amazon, and using the first katana that they find there

[sweet ermine]

meanwhile their stock when the trailer dropped

[mental rose]

Only later for it to turn out it's a replica of Zoro's sword from One Piece 😄

That shit was hilarious

[sweet ermine]

just make another assassinscreed about pirates and call it assassins creed somalia. then a black protagonist at least does fealt like he had a right place to be put in

[tame cairn]

they did that

its called ac4 dlc

they also had another black protag in ac origins

bayek is great

then there's AC Liberation with Aveline

and personally, 4 is overrated. i do not like the ship mechanics

[mental rose]

Also I'm willing to bet Thomas Lockley is not a very happy man right now 😄

[sweet ermine]

oh yeah i remember fredon cry 4 hours playtime with mostly reused assets? and the audacity to charge money on it...

[tame cairn]

why??

😭

i'm sure he's fine

[balmy plaza]

Even if it was tearing apart history, assassins creed has never been historically accurate.

History never had Sci fi magic elves, Assassins Creed does

[tame cairn]

its dlc..

lol

[tame cairn]

NEVER..

if it was, AC would've ended after AC1 and the mongols wouldve destroyed them

i think thats who it was

[sweet ermine]

the price was roughly 5$ per hour playtime

[balmy plaza]

It's weird to see that people suddenly have an issue with changing history now AC had inserted a (historically accurate to a degree) black protagonist, out of all the other games that have incredibly innacurate retellings of history
