[placid path]

To be fair, I don't even think about games when I said Mario. The character transcended his game so much he's a figure of pop culture at this point

[silent herald]

Any tip to find the Lich Kuva requiem without making the Lich spawn?
I dont want him fleeing and increasing level again

[tribal crater]

theres no guaranteed way however there's a few things you can do, first of all more thralls spawn with more players so that will make it faster to learn what the parts are, additionaly you should always have a untested requiem mod sequence equipped so if they show up your at least learning something, however if you really want to avoid giving your lich levels the best tatcic is to just not stab them however this will require knocking then down about 3 times and prevents any other lichs from spawning so it tends to piss off any randoms you may be playing with, so that's best for if your solo

[silent herald]

Ah... i could do this? Just dont stab him?

I thought defeating him would make him increase level anyway

[brittle citrus]

DOOMguy (DOOM 1994), The Lone Wanderer (Fallout 3), Adrian Shephard (Half-Life: Opposing Force).

[silent herald]

And theses relic shit... i got only 2 so far
And i dint even opened them yet...
That will be a long journey...

[tribal crater]

you can but its even more dangerous as if you dont stab him after about 30 seconds he gets back up will full hp so you need to kill him at least 3 times for him to just leave with out gaining a level

[silent herald]

He dont do shit against my dante overguard

Speaking of dante, i often get a bug where he dont have the custom colors during mission...

[tribal crater]

your lucky with this lich then, some of the loadouts they can spawn with are brutal even at level 1

[silent herald]

Like what?

My lich is fire element

[dusky igloo]

warfram

[tribal crater]

for grineer liches magnetic might be the worst element due to haveing magnetize and as for weapon that paired with the grattler the ayanga or the shotguns can do alot of damage

second worst element might be impact as they get iron skin so it becomes a slow and tedious fight

[silent herald]

Ty for the tip
He spawned here, i beat his ass 3 time and he ran away without leveling up

[tribal crater]

another things to note if your playing solo you have the ability to maximise the speed you learn the parts

[silent herald]

About their relic to get the requiem mod... is there any easy way to get relic or i waill have to pray for rng to drop the 5% chance item?

[dusky igloo]

Can usually find folk trading them for 5-10p a piece

[tribal crater]

you can always check the drop table but capture is usualy good for getting relics as you can complete the mission in less then 2mins

[limber latch]

I've just slapped a bunch of damage mods and crits

[tribal crater]

anyway back to this, when your lich spawns in a mission they will convert living enemies around them in to additional thralls up to ten times so if you let them live and avoid them you can effectively double the amount of thrals you see in a mission

[silent herald]

Ye, i noticed this
But i already have all 3 requiem discovered
Now the bad part... getting the parazon mods...

[tribal crater]

ah kuva fortress is the best place for the relics last i checked, the drops from thralls is unreliable

ok i was slightly wrong you need to do kuva siphon/flood missions

[limber latch]

Or you can always use plat

🙃

[tribal crater]

however the percent chances arnt that bad, siphons have a 50% for a relic and floods have a 100% chance, and the mods at base have a 22% chance from the relics or refined to radiant a 40% chance

[silent herald]

Dint knew of this
But i guess just a few of random play siphon/flood

[tribal crater]

i think the issue is kuva just doesn't have enough uses to justify the 50 different ways to aquire it

[silent herald]

I think i never spent kuva lol

Hm... i think vauban needed it, but it was a small amount

[tribal crater]

the bigest use for it is rerolling rivens but if you arnt trying to sell good rivens for profit once you have ones for the weapons you like you dont really need it

[silent herald]

Are Sister of Parvos slow like Kuva Lich?

[tribal crater]

its basicly the same system just robotic dogs instead of thralls

[silent herald]

Thats sad

But the requiem mods is the same or they need another thing?

[tribal crater]

the coda is different but also more self contained

[tribal crater]

for sisters its the same for coda its diffrent

[silent herald]

Oh, good

[tribal crater]

for coda the farm is drastically reduced, rather then them spawning with a special weapon you kill them for, when you kill them they drop a currency you can use to buy the unique weapons from a rotating shop, and they drop around 1.3x the amount for a weapon so about every 3 coda kills gets you 4 weapons

the only thing you have to farm them for is cosmetics

[silent herald]

Cool
Sadly im not a fan of infested weapons

[tribal crater]

some of them are crazy powerful

[silent herald]

Ofc
The recent content will always be

Until a new content be the new "crazy powerful"

[tribal crater]

i meant infested weapons in general, but that too

[silent herald]

I think funny how the adversaries are
Grinner: queen's elite
Corpus: Founder's elite
Infested: ....musicians

[tribal crater]

yeah, but it makes sense, there isnt really an elite or any from of higher structure the closest thing to that is warframes

[silent herald]

"Alpha", "primal", "mutated", "evolved"

Theses are some words that can fit to (almost) warframe level

[stuck merlin]

Hopital

[silent herald]

(What "technocita Coda" even mean?)

[tribal crater]

so technocyte has been the proper name for the infested since all the way back in darksector

and coda seems to be a musical refrence acording to the wiki

[remote lantern]

mmm cookie

[silent herald]

Does they even make music?

[tribal crater]

and lore wise there's some stuff about on-lynes agent sold the bands dna to a shady organization

[tribal crater]

most of it seems to be alterations of the on-lyne tracks

[silent herald]

This is some FNAF bullshit
"I want to improve entertainment, let use futuristic technology on it"

[tribal crater]

i dont know when exactly it unlocks but in aoi's room you can find a terminal that has the origins for the technocyte coda

[silent herald]

I dint did 1999 quest yet

[tribal crater]

more specifically there manager was annoyed that they were being less obedient and expressing freewill rather then making money so they wanted to replace the band entirely

[silent herald]

I think i saw a animated movie about soccer where the antagonist company used some lab shit to improve the team

I dont remember if they were clone or just lab-boosted or something

Its kinda like this vibe

"This could make technology jump 50 years"

"Or we could use it to improve car racing business"

[dusky igloo]

knockoff space jam

[tribal crater]

its unknown what the origional plan was but based on one of the notes saying they couldn't replicate appearances yet only voices it was definitly more then cloneing

[silent herald]

Uh, just noticed i cant use arcane on Noctua
Sad

[tribal crater]

you can you just need a secondary adapter

[silent herald]

Then why the button for arcane adapter dont appear?

[tribal crater]

i dont know exactly why it isnt there for you, but its there for me

let me check when the earliest secondary adapter is unlocked

looks like steel path, duviri and 1999 are how their aquired

[tribal crater]

looks like it appears after you unlock the steel path or acquire your first secondary arcane adapter

its possible if you don't have steel path it may rehide if you don't have an adapter in your inventory, but i cant find anything to confirm or deny

if i get a flawless grade on my final for spanish

then i'll walk away with an a and without having learned my lesson

and honestly

okay honestly

i think 89.5 or up will round up to a 90

[tawny tundra]

i am edging a 88% in calc bc

Complete all side quests?

she really overexaggerated the difficulty of it

also

if you're a teacher

perhaps you should, like, do better

I played so much DS2 that DS3 Just feels too bland

Hell, I might hop on ds1 and give it another try

[fervent snow]

me if dark souls was good

im sorry guys i tried

I spent tens of hours in these games

Sekiro is where Fromsoft got good

💔

(GAMEPLAY WISE*)

[boreal marlin]

All Dark Souls games are the same lol. It is a trilogy and cannot be separated

[fervent snow]

(And gameplay adjacent design wise)

[fervent snow]

And frankly

not lazy with their pc ports

[upper cradle]

Solaire and siegmayer lowk carried ds1

[fervent snow]

here I agree

[upper cradle]

Saying this as a ds1 glazer

[fervent snow]

in general what carried me to even attempt DS1 after clearly not enjoying the game for the last 20 hours of gameplay

was the lore, locations and characters

[upper cradle]

Fr

Whole atmosphere hard carries the game

But tbh the gameplay for me was better than ds3 and ER since I like the slow pace more

[fervent snow]

i gave up at some point because the boss runbacks are the most annoying shit in this entire game

and whoever says they're for clearing your head

is just coping

😭

[upper cradle]

DS2 has the same problem with run backs

[fervent snow]

Sekiro did it much better, the runback is much much shorter but it still kinda exists

[upper cradle]

Never played sekiro but slightly dislike it because people glaze it too hard

[fervent snow]

I had issues with Sekiro but it fixed so many problems i had with dark souls

that it's a net possitive

example issue i have: every miniboss is a gang fight

you spend like 5 minute stealthing every minion on every attempt

and most of those minibosses would make honest to god good 1v1 fights

[rigid niche]

But its an old game so depsite it shown green it will go red and stay sideways when you click it. "Sorry i can't build there"

[fervent snow]

okay but

[upper cradle]

I am not saying it’s not good btw

[fervent snow]

Sekiro has the sculptor and you can drink "tea" with him that weirdly burns and makes your throat warm

[upper cradle]

Just find fans annoying

[fervent snow]

I think it's like

rice "tea"

:33

[dire pebble]

i don't think it's ever called tea

[fervent snow]

I believe it is

[dire pebble]

monkey booze

[fervent snow]

like

when you talk to the sculptor

you have the option to

"Drink "tea""

Ashina Sake

or any other booze

but Emma and the Sculptor refer to it as tea

[dire pebble]

no...?

[fervent snow]

um

LITERALLY FUCKING YES?

when you give him ashina sake he says

"(Sniffs) This "tea" smells pretty good. Suppose I'll have some."

did you play the game 😭

or were you skipping dialogue like a true souls player

:3

[dire pebble]

oh okay yes
only ashina sake

but the menu is "give drink"

[fervent snow]

I like tea

"tea"

[dire pebble]

and he says "that's fine quality sake" when you give him dragonspring

[fervent snow]

yeah but like

following the progression of the game

you'd get ashina sake from emma to give him

my bad for saying its for all booze tho

:3

[dire pebble]

that's actually very strange

why does the sculptor act like it's tea

he's the only one to say that to ashina sake

[fervent snow]

Emma too

[dire pebble]

and it's only to ashina sake

[fervent snow]

i think it might be their inside joke or something

[dire pebble]

emma says: "Oh my...that is generous of you. I accept. Ahh...delicious. As a doctor, I do have other uses for sake beyond just drinking."

[fervent snow]

emma also says

[limber latch]

me when i get u

[dire pebble]

i have a wiki with their dialogue lines pulled up

[dire pebble]

impoppable

[fervent snow]

wait lemme find that dialogue

I cant find dialogue while receiving the booze

:c

brb

gonna pull out the sekiro transcript

LMAO

[dire pebble]

google "sake emma sekiro"

[fervent snow]

I think that as good of a wiki it is

the sekiro wiki is missing in relevant dialogue

because it shows dialogue when giving sake to someone

but not when receiving it

[dire pebble]

is it when emma gives you ashina sake

[fervent snow]

ya

peeps

I might reinstall Sekiro

[dire pebble]

okay i have sifted through it

she does say "it is his favorite "tea""

[fervent snow]

:3

my memory is way too good for irrevelant shit

but i cant study for school

[fiery hedge]

Yes

[fiery hedge]

I rember my sport teacher being like "yeah this school is weird, yaall get 80-90%, you should have an average of 60-70%"
Lol why, arent we supposed to be good ?

[fervent snow]

maybe he meant it as

your grades are inflated as fuck

[dire pebble]

tater would seal this chat to make sure no one woke up the sesl

[fiery hedge]

He did

But like

What kind of test is designed for students to fail 40% of it

[fervent snow]

I mean

I will disagree

[fiery hedge]

Or even, what class only prepares to 60% of the test

Sure in uni its like this

[fervent snow]

some tests are specifically designed to sift out people who don't have a very specific ability

all tests

to be frank

well my name aint frank

but

[fiery hedge]

I mean, yeah, they all are

[fervent snow]

whatever

[fiery hedge]

A student who pulls 95-100% was always seens as incredible

One that pulls 70-85 was seen as good, but not exceptional

There is still some difference, just not as massive

[fervent snow]

I am seen as autistic

I can pull out an incredibly advanced speech about politics and the socioeconomical state of the world out of my ass

but I get 10% on average on my science tests

[fiery hedge]

Yeah ofc

[fervent snow]

graduation exams are coming soon btw

[fiery hedge]

You can be good in some things and bad in others

[fervent snow]

I need 30% to pass maths on the basic level

[fiery hedge]

Its just that the test itself has an od distribution of grades

[fervent snow]

and as much as I am not worried about ANYTHING else

[fiery hedge]

Good luck!

[fervent snow]

that 30 percent worries me

[fervent snow]

thats just dumb

[tribal crater]

dont forget workshop mods adding an extra 100gb on top

[fervent snow]

you're barring yourself from some of the best experiences out there

on the other hand

100 GB and above is a serious investment

but refusing to go above 50 doesnt let you play for example

Batman Arkham Knight

Jedi Fallen Order

RDR 2

[strange cradle]

If a game goes over 100gb it better look and play well

[unkempt needle]

Time being what it is means I already have to pass up a lot. Those might as well be some of them

Well... i don't neccesarly say 50 gb is hard limit but i am not rich enough to let alone afford those games or have space for them depsite having an gaming laptop

[fervent snow]

Cyberpunk is one of the few games I wouldnt even think about being worth it if I could run it on my pc

I have like 0 aaa games on my steam account. Most expensive aaa considered game i had was borderlands 3 but i brough for lower then 5 dollars onsale before economic crisis. And maybe darktide was expensive cant tell, i brough it before economic crisis

Dollar is like 30 times more expensive for me in turkey so peoples mininum 20 dollar price is the maximum price i could afford

[narrow sail]

I quite literally don't give a damn about AAA.

[rigid niche]

I had two unpopular disliked AA games but i personally liked them for being unique and niche. Such as Biomutant or Evil Genius 2.

And thats it. No else expensive game in my mind that i own

Might as well say it's the base price since it's been going on a 6 dollar sale with shocking regularity

[upper cradle]

What does even hdd do

[stone heath]

I remember loading into a location in Guild Wars 2 for 15 minutes cuz of my HDD

[upper cradle]

You can’t play games if you don’t have SSD or what

Or is it something simple

I don’t quite get it

[stone heath]

Hard Disc Drive, it has a mechanical arm that goes through a disc searching for data

It's slower than SSD

[boreal marlin]

Yeah, or they will take you

[stone heath]

Imagine HDD being an unorganized shelf, where you're digging through stumbling trash to find one file

SSD is like a nice, clean, and organized shelf, where you see the thing you need

[strange cradle]

It's an organized shelf
But you need a lot of books

[boreal marlin]

I am really uninformed in all this tech stuff so I might sound stupid

[strange cradle]

Your PC may or may not have HDD, SSD, or a combination installed

[narrow sail]

uno momento-

[stone heath]

No, it just means the partition where your system files are located in

[boreal marlin]

Like that one game The wayward realms went off UE5 on engine of their own and magically performance went up

[stone heath]

HSSD? That's old and mostly not used

[narrow sail]

These are your drives/partitions.

[upper cradle]

Oh yeah I was taking about that

[narrow sail]

Some are physical, some aren't.

[upper cradle]

My F disc says HDD

But D disc says SSD

[narrow sail]

I don't have a physical D drive. That's a partition.

[stone heath]

In that case you're using a faster storage unit

[strange cradle]

touches the drive

[narrow sail]

But I DO have a physical C, E and F drive.

Those are actually in the pc.

[narrow sail]

I legit don't know what the contents are. They're completely invisible.

Not even showing hidden files shows them.

[strange cradle]

In a very short nutshell and avoiding details
HDD tends to be cheaper per storage capacity
SSD tends to be faster

[stone heath]

HDDs are recommended for storing System files and photos

But not for gaming

[strange cradle]

And I meant a combo as in, one HDD and one SSD drive

[stone heath]

Oh true

[lunar wadi]

sshd actually

[stone heath]

I thought you meant HSSD

[narrow sail]

I'm running ONLY on HDDs.

😢

[strange cradle]

I'll wait 30 seconds for your textures to load in then
Nah ok sorry hope you can find a solution/upgrade at some point

[narrow sail]

lmao

[upper cradle]

So if I install HD2 on SSD disc instead of HDD everything will be fine?

I feel like a toddler trying to understand quantum physics

[cedar zephyr]

Yes. You'll benefit from faster loading times

Like a lot faster

[narrow sail]

SSD is MUCH better for beeg stuff that needs to load quick.

HDD is better for long term storage.

[strange cradle]

However, the whole point of HD2s ginormous file size is BECAUSE they are accounting for HDDs

[narrow sail]

Yup.

[strange cradle]

You'll probably see a performance increase anyway, but it won't be as much as other games might have

[narrow sail]

Let me try and think of a good example...

[native echo]

Explain that to me please

[narrow sail]

Yeah maybe Faulty has a better explanation.

[native echo]

Why do i download 34 gigs that unpack to 128 and how does that make helldivers run good on hdds

[strange cradle]

So, HD2 generally has a lot of textures and stuff it has to load in for your mission, yeah?
Most games don't really mind, and most modern ones load whatever is needed on the fly in the loading screen, basically

Problem; streaming (temporary) data like that to your PC requires your drive to keep up
HDDs, pointedly, have a hard time doing this. This leads to long load times, no bueno for a multiplayer game

HD2s "solution" is this absurd texture duplication which admittedly does improve loading times for HDD users, at the cost of, well, 150gb

I do not know enough to give the full technical reasons and only Arrowhead would know the finest details

[tawny arch]

There's a post made by them explaining it

[upper cradle]

So there are more optimized and better solutions for this problem that don’t require them to drop support for HDDs?

[tawny arch]

I'd just drop HDDs

[strange cradle]

There theoretically are, this would involve alternate installations for HDD vs SSD
Console versions of HD2 are a perfectly fine file size, for reference

[tawny arch]

Yeah, they're fine due to Consoles only using SSDs, which makes the problem only PC adjacent

[strange cradle]

Though, keep in mind arrowhead is holding on to a decrepit and abandoned game engine and has mentioned it being difficult/impossible to implement such alternate version for PC

[tawny arch]

Since PCs can have their parts easily modified/swapped or just plain old, but still working fine like HDDs

[fervent snow]

as a HDD user

drop HDD support atp

[strange cradle]

"Drop" is a big word even
It'd just take you significantly longer to load into a mission

[fervent snow]

as in

stop caring

[upper cradle]

Sooo, is that all?

No game breaking shit

[strange cradle]

Not really.

[uncut remnant]

It takes a long time to search the HDD for the specific places to find the needed files. So they have a bunch of copies of the files in different spots so it doesnt need to look as far

[upper cradle]

No file corruption or anything

Damn then they really should just stop caring about HDDs and reduce game’s size

[strange cradle]

Nah, nothing of that sort
At worst a HDD installation might time out when taking too long to load something or you'd have graphical artifacts as it struggles to load stuff in time

No way of telling what exactly happens unless they ever do it though

[native echo]

Huh

Sounds neat

[upper cradle]

Now that I understand this topic better, I can now say even more confidently that they should just stop caring about HDDs

These 150 gbs aint worth it

[strange cradle]

Btw I know it's absolutely not comparable but I just checked Terraria's disk requirements
200 mb
1/5th of a gb

[tawny arch]

It is not comparable, yeah. But data is a funny thing!

[native echo]

So for helldivers it basically installs itself 4 times

[tawny arch]

3

But yeah

[native echo]

Ok but

[tawny arch]

Well, I doubt it installs ALL of it

[native echo]

Isnt that just more to search through

And ultimately that wouldnt really speed things up

Cuz like

[strange cradle]

Running into deep technical workings of a HDD here, but it does help those drives in any case

[native echo]

Yea im not smart on that topic

[tawny arch]

You trick the beast (a mighty HDD needle thing)

[native echo]

Wish they had an ssd/hdd install option

[tawny arch]

So true

[native echo]

Cuz i cant put it on my ssd without throwing away other games

[granite furnace]

It is being looked into last I heard

[native echo]

And i guess i cant just manually delete the redundant files so i only have one installation

[native echo]

That woulf be peak

[remote lantern]

the game engine is so fucked at this point

[tawny arch]

Heh, payday 2 uses a racing game engine

It can't be as bad

Actually, I could be wrong

[strange cradle]

The Diesel engine is in a very similar boat

[tawny arch]

Now, I wonder if they ever made a post explaining why they're using Diesel engine

[upper cradle]

I still hope that they will reduce HD2 size, maybe not tommorow, maybe not next week, but some day maybe

[granite furnace]

Saw someone suggest having the HDD support be a free DLC

[strange cradle]

You have an engine that your team has experience in
You can make it work for your game
Why not?
The worst that could happen is- oh they deprecated the engine 2 years into our game development

[granite furnace]

Much better than petrol :3

[native echo]

They should switch to petrol

[strange cradle]

I think EV is the future

[tawny arch]

We should just boil water more efficiently...

Oh, right

[native echo]

Everything is steam

Humanity loves its hot gases

[granite furnace]

Everything is a steam machine

[tawny arch]

There's a steam machine... inside your body...

[strange cradle]

Not RTGs
Nice and warm plutonium keeps the voyager probe alive

[upper cradle]

Gabe cube

[strange cradle]

Omw to mount a mission to retrieve Voyager 1 once it finally dies (not for any scientific reasons I just want to eat the plutonium)

[native echo]

You open voyager1, inside is a still classified tiny steam generator

[strange cradle]

Damn

[native echo]

It would make sense you know

Without steam humanity is nothing

[strange cradle]

Where is it getting the water fro- oh that's why it is slowly running out of power, of course

[native echo]

It all makes sense

[rigid niche]

I understood why some crossbreed animal species are expensive not for some artificial scarcity but rather they cant sustain those traits from their offsprings. Grey chickens are rarest because it requires white chicken with black dots with an black chicken, it will 100% give an grey, there is strange rule that grey cannot give birth to grey but colour of previous ones. Since it cant sustain and only appear from cross breeding, you cannot mass produce them even if you wanted so its in real life video game rare drops

White ones with black dots come entirely from rng. Its random variant of white or black chicken

[tender imp]

greetings you lot

i have fallout new vegas now

aswell as all dlc's

[rigid niche]

I apologize for ramdomly dumping topic of genetics and crossbreeding. I do not crossbreed genetically unfitting chickens for money or anything, other benefit of crossbreeding chicken is not just their look but improved immunity system from their different past parrents.

Its called natural selection which for some odd reason, animals naturally inherit(may mispelled) their strongest points to their offspring so over the generations they get tougher then they were before by selective breeding

Plants work completely different on genetics then animals

Plants are more complicated, you endlessy regrow plants on seed on that soil of land til it adapts then you can clone it to grow in that land more efficiently.

I do not claim i know the subject perfectly as mere humble farmer and not some educated biologist

Yup.

Just reseated them and suddenly it's behaving again.

I'm as baffled as you are.

Yeah.

what happened

did they reduce the size of the game

Devs do give what players want eventually. It just that they can't magically know what you want beforehand

Or its my horrible take because

I dunno how people can keep up with updates nonstop

[strange cradle]

Minutes ago they posted info on "yeah uh actually we managed to de-duplicate the game and it turns out HDDs aren't even that affected lol, here's the beta test"

[narrow sail]

literally

it's hilarious

how many duplicates they must have had to be able to cut the size to a sixth of what it was...

ridonkulous

[desert salmon]

Wonder if you could cut any out by deleting localization files as well

like audio in other languages

[native echo]

the different languages are dlc already

[native echo]

probably 5 duplicates then

[desert salmon]

ah good then

As they should be honestly

More games should do that

[tawny arch]

Good for HD2

Something nice happened actually

[desert salmon]

Should be that you download the game and then you download the right language pack from in-game or as a free dlc for anything where the combined localization takes up more than like a gigabyte

[fervent snow]

20 GIGS????

[upper cradle]

I can't believe we went through all this shit with HDD just for them to say "you know we kinda found out that there's almost no difference in loading times for HDD users with and without duplication of assets, so we lowk just deleted them even tho for some unknown reason we didn't want to before"

[fervent snow]

20 gigs

WHAT THE FUCK ARROWEHEAD

[upper cradle]

They lowk decided to decrease the game size just cuz I started complaining for real

Hi

Finished The Hex
....
Now what?

[dusky igloo]

now you play 1999 and rank them up

[tribal crater]

the hex is a two part quest, the second part is completely hidden until you meet the requirements

[silent herald]

I know but theres any reward for this?

I really dont care about theses "protoframes" lol

[dusky igloo]

Real

Just treat it like any other syndicate

honestly its pretty damn quick to level them up

Only need to hit tier 3 to finish, iirc

[silent herald]

But need to to this "relationship" thing with every member no?

[dusky igloo]

I dont think so

Dont remember tbh

It might just be fluff

also word of advice dont hook up with any of them the monthly login cutscene you get out of it is annoying as hell

[tribal crater]

you need to do the second part to be able to access rank 4 with the hex and be able to buy the things locked behind it

[silent herald]

Damn

I will see if theres something interesing to me (weapon maybe?)

[versed vale]

Bt

[dusky igloo]

I mean if nothing else them 1999 bounties are a fountain for endo

chance for a 2,000 reward

[brittle citrus]

WHAT

[tribal crater]

rank 4 is required for the 3 new members of the hex to show up as well as a requirement for temple as well as 4 new weapons and a semi new gamemode

[silent herald]

Damn, hex bounties level are high

[dusky igloo]

4 new members

[silent herald]

Honestly idk what level i can deal since the game never tell

[dusky igloo]

Scaldra can be a bit beefy

Techrot are just more infested

[silent herald]

Theres bounties + a map of levels?

[dusky igloo]

Yeah

Map has the bonus of not having the side objectives

[silent herald]

I guess the map its like it was a new planet on star chart

[tribal crater]

right sorry, velimir and minerva are interacted as one so i forgot there technicaly two people even thought there a single vendor

[silent herald]

Speaking of techrot, when i heard about it i was expecting to fight a mutated car, mutated fridge, etc.
No... its just infesteds with tv

Only tv

[dusky igloo]

Heheh

uhhh

Dont lose hope quite yet

But yeah do some exterminates, get a feel for the enemies

content that's deceptively fun

[silent herald]

I guess i will focus on others content and let this Hex to another time

I dont have to upgrade it for Old Peace i hope

[dusky igloo]

can always help you through it tomorrow

[dusky igloo]

Uhhh

I think the only prereq is lotus eaters

And the prereqs for that

[tribal crater]

after a quick count there's 6 weapons and 2 frames locked behind rank 4 with the hex, currently, the next update is suppose to be adding 1 new frame and 3 proto frames that could be selling new things

[tribal crater]

considering the 3 new proto frames it could be required if they're story integral

[dusky igloo]

but its also a focus on the operator

who is a separate storyline in of themselves

And given that the triad is accessible through sanctum animotica

Seems like it should be separate

Holy shit its waluigi time

[peak void]

Fellow Warframe enjoyers RAHHHH

[tribal crater]

kind of but if a proto frame is meant to appear they may require the hex so it wont be the first meeting with one

[dusky igloo]

Wouldnt be too hard to have it be another introduction

Since it is the op's first time meeting one

and basically everyone else's as well

[peak void]

Ive been too busy playing space marine 2 to prep my operator for the new nodes ngl

[tribal crater]

at the very least having that a requirement will bean they wont need extra dialogue of "what exactly are you"

[dusky igloo]

Naramon forever

[tribal crater]

from kim messages we know the operator talks to the drifter and they share storys

[peak void]

I just hope its not a repeat of when you could start in duviri
Lot of very confused newbies

[silent herald]

Im one

[dusky igloo]

yeah that skip button is a risk

[silent herald]

2 frames?
Cyte and... ?

[peak void]

It was like several hours of not having a warframe in a game called warframe
