That's what I call Orlik's shoulder mutant. Since DE confirmed that he's not actually a baby. The name comes from the baby-like mutant growing out of the stomach of the guy leading the resistance in Total Recall (the original, not the remake).
Exactly.
I view "little genius" as a title. Until we get a proper name for him, I call him Kuato.
I mean I get that Orlick has to have that shakespeare flair but cmon mahn introduce us to the other half of you.
...then again Orlick could have very well just named his shoulder mutant thing 'little genius' and just didn't give him a proper name
that'd be messed up but would be in line with the 'fey nature' of the game
I do like that Orlik adopts Avakot's term "Secret-y Glades", and apparently Kuato corrects him, because he responds by saying "yes, I know it's not a real word".
Orlik and Kuato living a buddy mutants movie....
Ok so uhhh what do I do if ther eare no legal moves for me in Regatta?? I think I'm stuck ๐
How did you manage that?
OH
Start a fresh coin
Don't even understand the rules
Just put the coin on the board
Can't move any of them on the board
I can't click on the coin
Click on the white and red tokens that are not on the board
You can't click on the ones not on the board?
It will start a new piece
WAIT nevermind....I clicked it a bunch of times and it didn't work but now it's working. Thanks ๐
Nah more fun this way but ty ๐
aight bet. Happy playing
lowkey Regatta sounds fun to play as an actual game but I have no wood working skills
Yeah it's really interesting! Beautiful game board
I know I'm missing witan, but the other hidden ones look like copies of ones I have maxed, are they copies are actual variants?
There's a few posts in #envoy-creations of irl boards people have made 
iirc that screen is all kinds of borked. You wanna use Avakot Wiki to cross reference what youre missing
So on this screen do I just hit Esc+Yes to quit? Or is there a different way I'm supposed to leave at the end
Correct to the first 
oh ok, Witan is the only one, totally not going insane...
Off my memory, Witan is all youre missing yeah
You win the mental health gained from having beaten avakot
Are there any collectible/easter eggs inside the story areas (like inside that tent at the beginning, for example) or just out in the open world and stuff only?
i.e. should I at all be looking around for interactable stuff or be paying full attention to the task at hand?
I mean I always kinda browse around for neat details but you know how some games want you to check every bookshelf or crate or whatever for special stuff
how fast i can get a acces to the game?
Why are the sound so muffled when you put stars in a ayatan sculpture?
you missed the devstream on friday
fastest and most surefire way rn is buying a founders pack
otherwise you gotta wait for one of the weekly wednesday code emails to land on you
oh tnx
second fastest is watching the next dev stream (envoy hour technically) on the 10th
envoy hour will give it?
exact time will be announced later on
most likely, last time we had envoy hour they gave the drop
and they're only making it more easily available over time so I don't see them taking that away
oooh aight
Might be able to find them with the search feature but no promises 
Does the "endless" tile in glades always spawn off the room?
Envoy hour on the 10th
speaking of
if we get an extra access key through twitch drops can we just give them to friends?
Yup
peak
I don't think I can yoink two access codes before Preludes 13, but I can at least get one
You can if you get another person to watch with their twitch account.
Well in one stream yeah
true
the friends I'm thinking of don't watch twitch for the drops unfortunately
you dont need different accounts to get a drop
But yeah it is one key per drop so to get more out of one drop you would need multiple accounts
ye
so I'd either have to make an alt or try to persuade one of them to tune into the stream for 30m
Yup
see the doors that glow in the glades, usually behind waterfalls, can we get in there?
yeep
how?
wall buttons/statues
soulmode or somethin 
Pls dropp condiguin
Anyone know why I cant pick up the sap?
try another angle, sometimes they don't place the interact prompt all around it
I have the interact prompt it just has a slash through it saying I cant grab it
supposed to be able to pick it up as long as you have done the bear quest
Does arcane stretch work with razor mortar on Caliban?
Wrong discord!
Oh lol sorry
i think the answer is yes though?
Thx ๐
Look into specing into spirit for caliban he could use range
what's this thing on the back of the bear armor?
I thought it was a fur collar from the images
It's a basket for birds to nest in.
Hopefully, we get a version of the armor without it, eventually.
that would make sense
I figured it was either something like that, or a basket to carry a baby in lmao
if it's bear themed, I can imagine a spot to keep your cub in transport
Or picnic basket...
lmfaooo the concept art really sells something different
First time finding out what concept art is?
I know that pain well. People started to disbelieve that I hadn't gotten it...
And then again for the cogah one...
what's cogah?
Optional "hard mode" potion, unlocked from verminia's second fable after completing the waste bear fable.
Oh crazy, I didn't even know that was a thing lol
how do I unlock the 2nd one?
I did the first already
Build color palets ot rank her up. Then she goes all emo and runs away. Find her and have a chat.
how do I build color pallets?
Brew hue
Buy the fragment from your faction leader, then talk to her and choose Brew Hues.
I've seen that option, but I've only seen potions on that menu
ahhh from the faction leaders?
I'll get on that
I've been slowly grinding out Silent Rose, but it's taking a million years lmao
Everything's a bit slower when you're new. As you acumulate good gear and stuff, then it's just a matter of how much free time you've got and tollerance for rep grinding.
I'm not really that new
it's just so much has changed since I last played lol
I hear that can have the same effect.
I want to try my best to keep up with the "Mastry Rank" as new gear comes out
I just got to 14 today, and I heard it's only up to 15 now?
17
i cant decide which puppers to pick for the life of me
Doesn't matter other than color
ik that but there all awesome
Heโs suited up to use his poop knife.
never say that again
Any one know why I cant pick up the sap?
Probs dont have the tap yet?
I think you need to progress the waste bear questline to get the sap tap.@daring jacinth
No i dont have a tap i didnt know I needed to get one my bird just kept bring me here thank you
Just a thought
One message removed from a suspended account.
sign up for preludes access and you might get it
From the Dev Streams, another perons, or getting some founders
or find someone to give you a code
or signing up on the official site
how bad do you want to play the game?
One message removed from a suspended account.
I apologize
I hope when the game develops later i can play something like a healer for a team
You already can
Oscelda has an aoe healing plant
And i'm pretty sure garren rood heals the team as well
Garren does but it is inconsistent and based on damage dealt (which is partially percentage of current health based) so it isn't super reliable late in a fight
Current health of target*
has anyone tested out smolder in the mora's hand tree
hey all, how do I acquire an invite? Game downloaded. Halp
u need to finish brewer of hues fable from verminia 
you have to wait for an invite, or watch a stream from twitch to get a code from twitch drops (make sure to link your sf account with twitch), or other ppl are giving out codes sometimes.. but pls refrain from begging. you can check this pin #envoy-gathering message
Hello, i dont know if its the good channel for this question so i'm sorry if not. The question is : The game will wipe and reset all the progression when the game will be officially on release? or we keep all the progression? ๐ thx for your time and your answer
No current plans to reset progression
This game encourages to collect and play with every weapon, i think each shared type weapon should have some kind of unique trait/affix. this will make it super exciting
There's a case where they separated Fey Pact into 3 different pacts -> you lost Fey Pact, but the Mastery exp you get from that still remains
sorry for my English btw
Just buy the founder they all worth it
there's a guy who sharing the code
in #envoy-gathering maybe you can contact him
to see anycode left
What do I do once I do the missions
If you've done all the fable quests. Then you start farming, leveling stuff to lvl 30, and making builds. Kill Agari until youre strong enough to do Cogah. Build faction reputation as well
if anyone needs 1 code to talk to me, I have 2
if anyone needs them, let me go to the DM
I only have one code of preludes left, whoever wants to, you know
is the workshop posted yet?
No, we also don't know if that will be today, when a workshop or Soul Short etc happen it'll be in #soulframe-news 
do you have the tap for the sap what comes from the rats? (Sorry, scroll bar didn't work)
Okay so this is for the Linux users out there. Are you playing Soulframe on Linux, and if so, what distro are you running it on? I am getting closer and closer to bailing from the Microsoft Sinking ship but the only thing that is stopping me is Soulframe and I wanna make sure I can play this epic game on it.
i get its probably a progression thing but why did they put the full map in the first hub area you unlock yet the map stays foggy afterwards?
i think this is just a relic of past preludes, we didn't always have world trees. used to be that the map was entirely visible from the start.
also of note is that that map has a LOT of detail only in the midwest, which used to be the only area we could actually play in.
now that you mention it yeah i get what you were saying
it's just an outdated texture, and honestly i don't know if they plan to make it dynamically update as you get rid of the fog, but i think that'd be an awesome idea
yeah it would be cool
might be difficult to code especially for such a minimal thing
well more like idk if its worth putting the effort into that
cause they could just overlay it
im pretty sure
eh, i wonder if they couldn't just project the player's map (sans markers) onto that mesh pretty easily
things are rarely THAT simple in gamedev, but it should be possible at least
I'm really worried about having each ability in a pact scale off of one of the three virtues respectively. Aren't people just gonna pick a prism that mains one virtue and only use one ability from a pact? With pacts essentially being a sort of "class" system, having 2/3 of a class go unused by people trying to meta build seems like a flaw in system cohesion
Question: what weapon originally came with Oscelda before casting weapons came in, wasn't there something there before the staff?
im downloading the game rn, could someone who has played it or knows tell me what are the limitations in this current build?
Oscelda itself was added at the same time as the first caster weapon which was the odiac, and odiac was the spirit starter weapon back then
Far from a finished game.
how long could i play before discovering everything it has rn?
Ohhh okay, so what, the spirit pact was Ode Tempest or something?
Story wise, maybe 5 hours.
To do and get everything? You can spend a 100
That doesn't sound right, they had the stone and the bird and the heal already
Nah before Oscelda was added, there was no "courage, spirit, grace" starters. It was just the old fey pact which got split into our current 3 starter pacts, and ode tempest. And no matter which one you picked, you got both
oh okay, for an unfinished game it sure provides a lot of content then, will this be a free game when fully released? If not do founders get a free copy
Completely free to play
I picked sirin, but my buddy had the bird attack and the healing plant abilities, this was all before the staff came about
oh nice, one final question, since they are offering invite codes for friends i take it online play is already available? and is it limited to friends for now or will i be able to join anyone's world and grind
Yes. The old fey pacts abilities were given to sirin and oscelda. With tethren being a technically 100% new pact
Wao I really don't remember how things used to be lol
Multiplayer exists yes. Max party size is 3 atm and also no matchmaking currently
Booo, Tethren got an ability name from a Fey passive and the skill visual is reminiscent of it.
ah okay okay, thanks for your help
Ye "technically" 
So I started with a bow, the fire or courage pact had a sword, what did the spirit starter have as a weapon back then
Before the addition of the magick weapons?
Odiac before Gwylen was added in next Preludes
Before Odiac it was uhhhhhhhhhhh
That's what I thought, that was the magicy weapon of the time
Before odiac (P9) it was this ^
Right
It was 3 melee weapons you chose from, and ode tempest and the old fey pact.
take your time, I'd do the story/main quest stuff first. Then explore, uncover the map, collect all the motes, get the armor/weapons you want the most. See how you feel after that ๐๐ผ If you're going at your own pace, should have a few weeks of enjoyment before you hit boredom and wait for the next update
So the starting pacts really didn't have proper names back then? Does anyone have an image of that? Wild I don't remember what it was like when I started
i mean, they had names, "fey" and "ode tempest"
fey pact just doesn't exist anymore because it was split between the three starters we have now, and ode tempest is still called ode tempest
i'll have to see if i have any screenshots from back then, but i imagine i probably do
Have a P0 screenshot 
wait.. is THAT what the sky citadel used to look like??
Ye
and the moon, wow.
They cut Teshin's head off and put it in the sky
here's a screenshot from back when fenn was still chilling in nightfold with us
That's why he ||doesn't have his helmet in Duviri||
launching it rn, so excited ngl
theres threads in the Q&A that might have the answer your lookin for
QUESTION:
Maybe I'm misunderstanding what I heard before, but does working on another faction's rep decrease or disable the one I've already maxed out?
It does not
yall how do i get Gathannan
When you change factions, your current faction's reputation becomes locked at a certain value, and your new Faction must be started from 0. If you swap back, your old value becomes unloacked and the one you swapped from becomes locked in turn
Kill the Vadagar Stag boss
Sweet, I was hoping it wasn't like the factions in Warframe. We're all against the Sinecure after all.
i've killed so many of them and not gotten any fragments
Pretty rare drop it seems.
Speaking of rare fragments, I genuinely forgot Orengall had an armor set, and only randomly got one piece from a box that was destroyed upon my returning from the nightfold
Alca's Children tales drops
Vadagar stag
Ohhhh
Its rare again for some reason
That thing has never been easy to get
i've gotten the shards for 3 sets of garren armor ๐ญ zero shards
Its not even THAT good its just a slightly stronger grace spear
I can no longer see which eternium garden instances my flowers are in, I don't know if it's just a UI problem or if the flowers themselves are gone. Anyone else?
At least its actually realistically obtainable now
what is the eternium garden
I never planted mine so I can neither confirm nor deny this
It's where founders can plant the flowers that come with the founder packs
Its a garden for founders players to mark when they got founders
Use the flute emote in the nightfold to see them
You have to play a song in the nightfold to get there
Hi, to confirm, does "Torcheternal" Polearm rune drop in normal or cogah? the wiki page for it is missing
the wiki page for it is missing
nice thanks
Not sure what you meant regarding the wiki page! Let me know if you're having any issues
To answer your question, it drops in both regular and Cogah in my experience - regular is a guarantee, but cogah might have been a bug. I'd be curious if anyone else experienced it dropping in Cogah for them (instead of obtaining a Splitbolt). We really need DE to push the public export lol
ive planted my flower thank you chatters
it loaded from the link you gave me, but when i click on this rune from the runes page, it doesnt go to its page
Oh weird! Thanks for the report, I'll look into it, it's working for me from https://wiki.avakot.org/Runes but I'll see if I can recreate it or if anyone else has trouble 
omg excuse me, it didnt work because the page was already in Torcheternal just scrolled down to runes list. My bad. Site is working normally
And looks thats your website? amazing job!
Ahahah no worries! You know that's a great point though, I wonder if it'd be better QoL if clicking that took you back to the top of the page? It's in bold to show that you're already on that page, but it doesn't stand out hugely tbf
I just edit/write a lot on it! Can't take any credit for making the functionality though, that's all the hard work of Oreo and Griffith 
just opened the channel and saw this, what is THAT in the upper left corner???
That's the older interpretation of the Ode sky castles. For a few preludes versions we didn't have a floating structure of any kind in the sky around p7 - p8, maybe as early as p6. it gets a bit murky.
Ode taking inspiration from the Omicronians.
you see it in the original reveal trailer too (it has since been replaced with the updated Skytower, or Citadel as DE called it in devstream 12)
i miss it...
Also crazy to see how much brighter and warmer the game has gotten from their original vision, even just in those two screenshots! I think P12 was when I really noticed it in midrath. It's losing that bleak dark fantasy feel that I loved, but still, I trust in DE's vision...
hey, where do i get key to fort kearnhold dropping stairs?
from the banneret (you have to manually pick the key off the ground)
hmmh second time i do that fort and 0 keys so far
heres from march 2024 
it might glow in spectral sight if you're struggling to find it on the ground?
took me like a hundred kills
maybe he bugged because i was standing ther and he couldnt do anything? https://i.imgur.com/TFbJDub.jpeg
i got an issue, i feel into the water pool during the 'save the pups' mission
and i can t get out of the pit
how to i tp to a checkpoint or something?
try using /unstuck
Just wait till someone tells DE they made the game too bright/colorful so they make an area like Whimsyshire...
...yes 
Honestly that would be a great Summer event
A land of bright lights and rainbows, maybe some cool themed weapons and armour
the little smoke clouds filled with black dots that have googley eyes are what?
They could tie it in with the door in the fireplace at Salzbrim. When the event's active that's how you get there. When it's not, it's just a weird fireproofed wooden door in a fireplace.
they translate the names of locations and give lore about them for some.
you can yoink them with Q+M1
i dont know if im just basic but im struggeling with the game not explaining mechanics
thats fair
Places added with p9 don't have full lore entries yet.
like im collecting fragments of what i belive are talismans, however the game dosent explain how many i need, or how to combine them
if you have the blacksmith lady you can check there
fragments =/= talismans
It does, in the Nightfold. Check the forge
Finding the Blacksmith might help with the fragments bit
Blacksmith lady will tell you. Think talisman fragments appear in the loot instead of a prompt like weapon or armor fragments.
I have a tree, cammel, scribe, tent
granted I still see "Unknown" pick ups which are a little annoying
Ok so then you need to progress more
when you pick up a fragment it'll show how many are needed to craft it.
as to how to craft it, you should get guided to the quest that gives you ability to do that
yeah youll have to find the blacksmith lady the game doesnt take you to her (at least not yet) you have to find her
You need the blacksmith and verminia.
You need to do a quest to unlock the forge
that's just a bug
wut?
It's the actual world yes
Alca is the name of the planet
Midrath is the land we start in, which the Devs have called the "tutorial zone"
we know we'll get more areas later but they are focusing on the starter island for now
wouldn't really make sense to be working on another island at this point already
yeah still a lot they can do on this island
they did say that later this year the 'old boundaries will fall' so I do wonder if that means we're leaving to some extent
but whether that's simply beyond the veil (was the blue ruins an eldveil tileset?), or up into the sky (citadel tileset), rather than to cassia or somewhere, who can say
wot...
but those boundaries could be something entirely metaphorical or spiritual or anything lorewise, so all just speculation on my part lol
Midrath is the island(?) we're on in the game.
Alca is the planet, our "Earth" essentially.
also we got 2 suns + 1 moon I guess
yeah mora and saphene
yup
Better than 3 suns lol
shudders in 3 body problems
...Which is causing my 'tism brain to fry with how speculative evolution would drastically affect how a planet forms with that kind of environment.
Hi all ! I was wondering how I could get a bow. In some outdate videos, it says you can take the bow from a rack in your tent. Now you can't. In Children of Alca's base, I don't see any rack either. Did I miss something, or am I supposed to forge one at the blacksmith ?
ah, yeh
much like how I still refuse to believe the Margoo in Warframe is a species that isn't outcompeted into extinction
There's 4 free to earn bows in the game rn: Thistle, which can be bought from your starting faction, Juniper, which can be eanred by finding 3 special idol shrines to play music to, Blitzel, which drops from some bosses, and Maestro, which drops from Thawtide Hunters above level 35
is blitzel from the archer boss dood? gruul-hunter-whateverthehell?
and our moon has a laser.
So what you're saying is... The moon is a deadly laser
does the laser consist of dead peoples souls if the ring around Iridis is where the souls of the dead go?
This is the best excuse to have air strikes in Soulframe
so hand of iridis will have an laser strike from above and nothing will change my mind about that
We'll have to ask Iridis when we meet him.
Head to https://wiki.avakot.org/Bow and just pick whichever bow you like! It'll tell you where it can be farmed.
I wonder if Atajan can speak to Iridis 
Also the moon has a Lotus pattern on the surface
speaking of bows
or time travel to when he visited Salzbrim? ๐
I'm ashamed to admit how long it took me to figure out why I was missing the 3rd fragment for Juniper.
It's because I missed the song fragment right outside our grandpa's forest shack.
laser pact confirmed??
Looks like atajan's pact arm
it is yeah, I'm assuming that's what they meant by Hand of Iridis since he's the gyre
iridis boi
nice
I mean... This isn't exactly a new Skyrim mod. But it's great for dealing with when there's an enemy you can't find that's preventing you from fast traveling.
That's not Iridis. That's just another of our Ancestors.
so we have iridis, mora (if we're counting fenn), but what about saphene?
swear i've seen that before
Like I said... It's not a new mod. It's one that's just been updated for every version of Skyrim. They basically retooled the laser from Fallout New Vegas into a spell, lesser power, and castable rune. It's one of the popular ones, so keeps getting updated for new versions of the game.
The moon behind Atajan is Iridis, which he and the other Gyres worship
This is the big question! Saphene is the only one left out now... (if we don't count Culveer, Sidae etc)
everyone forgets saphene.
cause saphene is grace
I blame Kane for destroying the saphene sword.
If he hadn't done that, then saphene would have a weapon to represent her.
maybe the reason saphene is blue is because she's depressed all the time
Workshop delayed?
do you get a mount or is it not in the game yet?
yes
is it the pup that you chose?
they said they wanna do mounts this year, but not a certainty
Eventually will be pup. Not anytime soon
so you can t get a mount yet ...
yes
how does that answer the 'do you get a mount or is it not in the game yet?'
It s a 'or' not yes/no
Yes as in there are mounts, not in game yet
speechcraft 100
pfffft
will preludes progress transfer?
they will not wipe our progress unless they have no other choice
Yes.
I mean...they are in game, just not available to the masses. Dev build, sure. Public? not so much. Sad days....but at least they were confirmed for this year.
I just wanna explore with my puppy 
now I made myself wonder if mounts will vanish after we hop off em or we can explore with the mount just chilling with us
mounts themselves may be large on the battle pet side. especially if you're going full squad.
so prolly not
could make em walk a bit back to stay out of the way, or only chill with us if out of combat/running solo
Could be possible to have them stick around solo, but not in squads?
Seems like a fair trade-off.
Are the pacts that avakot sells upgraded versions of the existing pacts that you get from the fables? Cause they show as 3 star, whereas the fables ones show as 2 star.
Or are they just there in case you want to get them back if you sold the pact to make room for another?
This, stars on pacts don't do anything (right now)
Shame, alright. Wanted to make sure before wasting coin on them
they're not actually 3-star, it's a UI mistake
guys did they change smth today, cuz i feel like my damage dropped massively
don't think so no
okay maybe im tweaking then but it feels weirdd
I should farm for my enclave in the top right corner of the map right?
did you change weapon? maybe your virtues don't align with your current weapon
Silly question but the Garren Rood polearm drops from stags, right? Had no luck at all so far
Also do factions play a part in general loot drops or only in drops from the factions themselves? Been wondering if I need to be with Alcaโs to get dewelion drops
Polearm frags are low, expect a longish time but rng is rng. Faction doesnโt matter.
Gotcha. Thx
RUNES, are so damn unfair.
They turn boss fights, into inconveniences. Slap on the Totems for boosted smite chance and duration. That's just a war crime.
My tips to new players to seek out the Runes for your favorite weapons. Before even worrying about the Pact Quests or joining a faction.
Faction tales do have specific drops based on tier and faction
is there a way to check how many faction points on currently have without going to the faction post? all it says on faction complete is "max rank". tryna get to ode tempest, but cant tell if i'm at my limit for the day or if I can keep farming
only way is to do a tale and see what it says at the end
if it says max it could either be daily cap or standing cap, gonna have to check faction shop for that one
i just hit faction cap. so guessing its that.
Weโre not talking faction items
dont wanna waste time farming faction quests if I hit my daily limit already though.
Daily cap is 16.5k but you can farm the main faction as much as you want, think my kings is close to 500k
Enclaves currently have no impact on anything in the game other than enclave-specific content (sparrow's tales and standing/purchases)
flat 16k, but yeah. Also at rank 5 you can only hold 30k, so be sure to spend to continue earning.
You hold more than 30k Iโm at close to 500k
Nope, no way to get to 500k
You can hold 30k at Rank 5, which will appear as 110k on the UI (because the rank-up requirement for Rank 5 was 80k)
Like did you just continue doing tales?
pics or didnt happen๐ฃ๏ธ
I think you're looking at the wrong thing. because the cap is for sure 30k at rank 5
Yea just did tales as I gave 3 maxed accounts so never change now, purchased stacks of dust
Ow yea sorry not 500k stacked my bad I mean total sorry miss read your reply
when you view mission completion sparrow, it always shows your total rep including past rank. so if you had 0 rep at rank 5, it would show 80k. since that's the rep it takes to hit rank 5. but even then, the highest it will go is 110k rep, which is the rep cap entirely.
ah
real quick question about enclaves since that is the talk right now: can you only see you current standing at you enclave boss or do you have an UI element for it in idk the inventory or the Night Fold somewhere?
Yea stacked right now is like 100 something k
yeah the ui needs a bit cleaning so its misleading at first
I dont understand the design of this UI, confusing or maybe just me
like thinking you pick up 10 wevetseeds when you pick the plant, even tho you only got 1-3 and it shows a running total
only at the enclave and a quick pop up after you done a tale
yeah the things that make the game pretty are on the back burner as they build the core of the game. we get updates here and there, but they have priorities
do you guys know where i can find the parts for juniper ?
Yea the seed thing I have to explain in q&a channel once a day at least
on reddit there is the old map only
check Wiki.avakot.org for all your drop source needs
yeah 110
if u use a joinery, does ur weapon lvl reset?
only if its blessed
just blessed joineries
yeah
joineries are changing next week though so could be smart to holf off using them for now
Do we know if they will still reset level now that they don't change attunment?
We don't know.
i don't see why they wouldn't still reset the level
Right now only blessed resets level because it changes the funciton, now none of them change funciton and only change magnitude so I don't know which direction they're going to go
it still changes how it works, be understandable. essentially rewiring it.
How hard is Cogah solo?
Depends on your loadout. With bow with either rune, and Oscelda, it's not so bad.
Depending on the equipment you choose, how leveled it is, how well-enchanted it is etc, it can genuinely range from easy to very hard
Usually it's just an enhanced-stat and longer-cooldown version of however you're currently finding the game to be with your build
Ah gotcha. Usually able to one-shot bosses with bow and tethren.
Only 2 bosses kinda hard for me
The real pain is that the RNG needs smacked upside the head with a heavy wrench so's it'll stop requireing 100+ boss kills for runes.
Fair lol. Starting to think Dewellion doesn't exist outside the market.
if you buy ORENGALL from Avakot is it built or is it just the recipie ?
IT's just the fragment.
If you do the fable, you get that for free.
good thing i asked xD I thought i can skip that pesky building recipie and just buy it
If you buy from Zenith, it's built.
But that's premium currency stuff.
Better to just buy slots and build stuff, unless you end up with one thing that just refuses to drop.
I would rather just grind up the resources
heard it might be better to just keep it maybe u can get soething nice at release
like if more stuff gets added
It's up to personal preference, but currently, the slots situation is a bit like Warframe's. Better to spend starting currency on slots than fancier stuff.
I end up hoarding my weapons in case we get some kind of helminth system that eats our stuff for perks
I'm just a packrat. I don't like having to sell something to make room for something else.
do Rood passive abilities work?
should 
I'm not entirely sure how the one about healing charging a rune works...
healing while rune is active gives it more charge? maybe?
Wiki doesn't have info spede on it yet. ๐คฃ https://wiki.avakot.org/Healheart
I get the feeling that if it does something, the description is wonky.
Life steal abilities/joineries recharge rune duration
So as long as ur not full hp and have some life stealing mechanic rune duration is infinite
If you can prove that, send it over to the avakot.org discord people.
Life steal adds to rune duration? Does it just add a little each time or tops up?
hmm... I can try to test it... Will need to resist urge to just kill enemies...
Refills half a rune's bar
got all the cogah runes 
saralovesarchery did a whole thing on garren rood n greatsword and having infinite rune charge if you do things right.
In that case, I can just mention that the page needs updated.
So If i enter a dungeon for vella then inside a quest appears, vella wont appear for this run right? I finished it and re-entered again, also got a quest inside. How am I supposed to find vella in this case?
Hi ! Is there a known bug with The Collector events ? I'm under the ship but nothing happens ๐
Oh you are talking about the red balloon. You need the torch to burn it
no that's a totally different thing
I don't see the balloon, I see a ship with lightning. I thought it was collector, but maybe I need to find the red balloon
No balloon w/collector, just adds n mada trying to take stuff up. Try killing things. It should have started when you got close. If nothing else, relog
Is this the balloon for the ship event ?
Nothing happens, I've tried relog
Sorry english my two language
ah you just started game looks like, follow your birb, look around
That's not collector event, that's part of the begining fable
This worked. Thank you
bet
Im trying to collect motes and when i got all in the college of pensive it wont let me claim the reward and the last diamond isn't filled in
Any tips on defeating Gruul Seeker Sontaro? We've been fighting for like an hour. She keeps healing and is invulnerable almost all the time except when we use our firey sword ability. And even then it's only for the next hit.
You're weapon/pact is too low for that boss, if they have grey bar, you're not doing enough damage. Level up n come back later or do all heavy attacks and use your pact skills in tandem. g/l
There's nothing to collect, getting all the histories just gives you envoy rank. Not all of the histories are written in game yet.
@frigid spoke oh okay i read that the college of pensive was one with a reward
They used to a few preludes ago, now it's just envoy rank n lore
thank you ๐
me and my buddy somehow managed to time the fire sword with a take down all right before she healed and somehow she died. we literally spent over an hour with her
talso try heavy attacks or using abilities that increase damage (like bestone) or charging up a rune to do more damage
Fun stuff to learn as you go! FOr now the middle mouse button does a slower attack that does a lot more damage. It can help with tough enemies
And holding block while pressing heavy attack throws the weapon
took me forever to learn that
I stopped playing in P3 because I couldn't figure it out, there were no tutorials because of NDA, and no wikis...
How time flies
I think is was P3.. it was early on
Yeah, I briefly played in one of the first preludes. then I forgot about it and got distracted for a long time lol
it was very different then. Felt like a sandbox for concurrent user tests, lol. Like no content at all
yep
@slim plume
kill the boss
can help get rid of the red screen I think
worked for me the the last time
is courage attuned Starling the best bow in the game?
Yes haha. It is just a very slow expedition to get to the next boss. Lovely imp 
how can I form fragments into a full piece? and how do I know how many I need?
do you have the forgemaster unlocked?
just spent 3 in game days looking for rivers
river pearls
looked in all rivers all over the map at all times if day
got only 2
Does anyone know where people upgrade their weapons? I heard there's a specific place for that, where they upgrade really fast.
Thereโs a spot that keeps spawning enemies. I forgot the name
If anyone knows, please let me know.
Itโs the endless tile set in the glades. It spawns randomly. Giant circular room with stag statue in the center. Once stag is activated, it will spawn 20rounds of enemies.
Itโs called โendlessโ because it originally was endless waves until they patched it in p12
go inside th Glade Dungeon, the tile set will be random, so you have to go around to check if the room available or not, if not, log out -> go into the dungeon again -> should be new tile set now, loop until you found the room
there's no working trick sadly, it's luck based
but if you found the room & have a friend who willing to hold the checkpoint for you, you can basically join him to get the checkpoint again after u done and do that until you bored
Could you tell me the exact location? I'm new to the game, so I don't know it.
check the map, you should see some locations that called Glade of Andurin
any of those will work
You are 100% better off just playing the game and doing the fables then faction tales fighting higher lvl mobs as you go. It'll be way faster than trying to find a random room not guaranteed to spawn. Just enjoy the game.
does discovering dungeon gives mastery xp?
you will have to play the game in order to get new weapons for leveling them anyway
xD
that room offers nothing but exp
You get a tiny amount finding the entrance and exit
aight thanks for the answer
What is this room like?
I found a dungeon, but I have absolutely no idea how to find this room, what it's like.
pulled some images from Google, not mine haha
and again, it's random, it may spawn, it may not
I would just suggest not to spend hours trying to find it... maybe try 1 or 2 times to see if you are lucky or not
try to loot everything while you are at it so your time wont be wasted
thanks
So you know, IF you find the room, it starts at a lowish lvl, depends on the dungeon and the lvls increase each wave for 20 levels. If you die, it ends. if you leave for any reason, it ends. You can't go to your camp to change weapons. IF you find the arena and are solo, you are stuck with what you have.
I would suggest against solo though, just invite someone through recruit chat, it will be way faster, safer and you can also change weapon mid run if needed
people tend to join endless a lot so it shouldn't be hard to find someone
I'm understanding this right we cant parry heavy attacks with short blades right?
look in the weapon tree for that skill
Yeah it doesnt have unyielding sadge, back to Long Blades
Any tips to find river pearls easier?
Itโs been 7 in game days and I still only found 2
do tier 3 tales also. Bosses can drop em
Bought another 2 from avakot as well
sometimes avakot vendor sells two
The swamp ish area down southwest is a great area to find them from experienc but then again its all RNG
They also share a spawn with another flower or a few of them? So pick everything to help the pearls spawn also
How do you activate the polearm rune that throws 4 projectiles? II dont think I saw 4 projectiles coming out of me
runes are activated when you smite an enemy
Thanks, sorry another question if you dont mind, can all weapons parry? It looks like magick weapons do not parry meelee?
they can parry magic, not physical attacks
Melee you parry and magic you dodge
Thanks, i almost lost my mind
for garren rood pact, do you guys level healheart/righteous?
do the levels in healheart extend the rune extension affect
I just bought paragon pack before starting the game and when I entered my login info and start the game I just stood up from this rock and nothing is in my journal?
You wonโt have anything in your journal there isnโt additional quests which come with it. What are you looking for?
There isnโt any quest in your journal at all?
Hi is it me or this guide has something wrong where it has Everflame rune on Polearm or there is actually an Everflame version for Polearm ?
Did you create your envoy?
Hmmm. Iโm not sure the answer of this currently, let me do some digging. If anyone else has suggestions feel free to share them below.
Looks like alcast website which is super outdated.
I recommend using this very useful website, it has everything you need: https://wiki.avakot.org/
Heya guys, does anyone know at what time does the reputation cap reset?
2PM ET, (I believe)
This is the correct rune
Ooof, ok thanks!
Does the wiki also has packs builds ?
That's what i thought
No not specific builds, just all the information you need. Itโs a community created project, (not from the official DE Team). The community team do a good job of keeping it up to date regularly though.
You can search up on YouTube. For builds, then see which ones suits you. This is probably the best way to search for one if you want one specific
i was looking for a builds website mostly recommndation on where to spend skill points on packs
Invest points into the pact skills which your weapons are attuned to. If you are using magick weapons they most likely will be attuned to spirit. If you use a sword and shield, courage for example.
Just look at what the symbol next to the weapon description is attuned to.
Whyโs your current idea for a build so far?
What weapon are you interested in using?
there is
This is likely using older info, Everflame used to go on every melee weapon but has since been split into a different Rune per grip type
The flame damage Rune for Polearms is now called https://wiki.avakot.org/Torcheternal
It also does not drop from Discharged Nimrod but instead from Kabocha and Gourdo, the corrupt Sproutfolk bosses in Wevetwood and Neathuns
Would you choose this for polearms or the 4 projectiles ones? This one gives additional attack totem which is really nice
@barren scroll apparently my game bugs out when I log out from an account in open world to an account with no progress, and it fix itself after I reinstalled the game
Both have their place I'd say, I prefer Splitbolt because it enables a unique mechanic, while Torcheternal is "only" extra damage, but if you're not a throwing build Torcheternal is nice extra damage
Itโs normally 7pm unless something changed. ?? This is for east coast USA
it's UTC+0 00:00 anyway 
is it just me or the greatsword just have one slash attack?
wdym? it's all slashing attacks 
except for the running light attack and the first hit of the... parry riposte i think it was? or the staggered finisher? i can't remember ._.

yeah the parry. love the hilt smash on that.
was there a change to wevet tree seeds? yesterday I got 5. I thought "wow, lucky me" I thought max you could get was 3. This morning, I got 5 again and inventory only showed 5. Is it 5 a day dropping now and max you can hold is 5?
max is 100, and when you pick them up it shows a running total. you can only pick up 1-3 every 12 hours.
so if you used 1 yesterday, and picked up 1 today it still would show your cumulative total as 5 when you pick up
ah, ok. thanks for the info @long grove
npnp!
those are big help when travelling back and forth from faction house to NE to grind out those points. I am trying to get the Ode Tempest class before swapping to another faction. I am close. I think one more reset oughta do it.
You can also go to base, play music emote, cancel confirmation to travel to Eternium and then go back to the overworld you will be near the 3 faction bases. Handy if you're milling around NE area for max XP and dont want to waste a seed.
Not yet, but they're going ot have a new feature that has guides, which may include some suggested pact builds.
Man I deconstructed juniper back when bows werenโt great and I had no idea that was an irreversible decision lmao
Guides is already out! https://wiki.avakot.org/Guides Everyone is welcome to start creating your own guides, including builds if you want ๐
Does the Cogah mode bosses also drop normal loot?
Cool.
Yep.
Too many times, I've thought maybe I got a cogah rune, turned out ot be the non-cogah one.
the fragments also drop?
I think so? I honestly don't pay attention to fragments unless it's something that just never seems to drop.
The V-stag dropping a dupe fragment of royal tines is the kinda thing I notice. The stuff that Ruthos might drop, eh, I've had that for a long time, except for his rune, which took around 110 or so kills to get.
they do not, just runes and talismans
Did 5 Cogah boss runs and it feels like it only drops runes
Ruthos is the first one I got to drop a rune. over 100 cogah boss kills. Then 2 others dropped cogah runes in the same kill session. Still have a few cogah runes that just won't drop for me. Might give up on those for now and see if DE fixes the RNG.
hey guys, just a question, my friend and I played yesterday and we did some quest in my group today we recconect and he got one of the quest we did that is still there in solo, is this normal ? sorry for my english
Normal but not intended
Quests can be very buggy in multiplayer
It's why us players recommend that you don't do quests in multiplayer because right now they can break easily
oh okay, thx for your quick answer
I wonder how many wyld versions of pacts will be released with launch๐ค
well, next in line should be either wyld tempest or wyld rood, one of em will (probably) be the next "prime access" once the founders packs go away
and if the founders packs go away on launch, then we'd have a total of 4 wylds at launch; if they go away before launch, who knows
once we killed MK and he didnt drop a mushroom to loot. feels bad
one dot in healheart and a weapon with the +4% life drain joinery basically means your smite is up as long as there are enemies
probably gonna build a buffer first before we see the next wylds. theres like 14 non prime frames at any time, for example.
Hello, I play exclusively on a controller, I would like to know what are the controller settings in this game? Is it possible to adjust the camera speed, dead zones, buttons mapping etc ?
yes
it plays good on controller imo, lots of settings to tweak
They should be right next to the mouse and keyboard settings in the menu when you plug one in
Not flexing and I am kinda new, but i got the 7 out 8 runes in 1 cogah run [multiple circles], probably would be 8 but i wasnt doing the spider, he kills me quickly. I left him for last but died when attempted lol
i thought it was generous
grrrrrr how dare you have better luck than me
flyblades are great for the spiders, slows them to a stop
with the slow enemies totem
Is there a difference between effects that say they reduce armor and ones that say remove? Do they stack from the same source, if now do they stack from different sources?
no, afaik it resets. like if you hit an enemy with a reduce by 9, then had a totem with reduce armor by 30 on a pull smite, it'd just be 30. I think the only one that might stack with those effects are the heavy attack ones.
woulda thunk the "reduce" would be temporary and "remove" would be permanent 
I would also bet that Armor Shred and Armor Steal (bromius) both stack
There is a magick totem that gives +10 damage +10 damage primary cast, is it any good and what do they mean by primary cast, LMB?
Primary cast is just light attack afaik
then again what would be the point of temporary reduction if you can make it permanent i guess 
We could really use some debuff indicators on the UI. And/or buff indicators for armor steal
That's having insane luck.
The drop rate for river pearls is rediculous
Iโve been playing for the past 5 days solely focused on finding them
Only to get 10
And none from bosses
4 from avakot
I understand engagement to keep playing and all that
But at this rate itโs pushing me away
D.E. Please adjust river pearl drops
Please
ESPECIALLY since the game is currently behind a 100 dollar pay gate
It most definitely is
it's not behind a pay gate, just an option. invites are sent every Wednesday, and they give keys to anyone who watches stream
You can sign up for keys, watch twitch streams, find em anywhereโฆhow is it paygated?
Still reduculously low drop rate even if that point is invalid
You must pay with your soul and being
Watch streams for keys -- they should be having one this week I think. (not luck, just keep an eye out)
Get keys from friends / weekly distribution from signup (which is luck)
Cheapest founders packs come with keys, which are $30USD, not $100USD.
You find them on the river tho
Im already in the game
Have you been looking on the river
Yes
I somehow got to 54 pearls now, I think maybe in cogah drop rate is better
And level 3 bounties
I just logged in to find a pearl either at a river or a boss n look here lol
You shouldnt be doing bounties for them
But it was pain to get pearls when I started ngl
Clear a river and then relog for more
Rngesus is not your friend for Pearls, had the same when i needed to farm em, now i have 59+ when not needing em anymore and it drops fron all sources
best passively farmed doing bosses an tales since you gotta farm those anyway, actively farming them by rivers is detrimental
I only need 5
It shouldnโt be this dumb
Pre adjusted Octavia drops were better at this point
Farming them by the river is just a waste of time atm
It's not a finished game, can't treat it l;ike everything is going to work. The drops/spawn has changed. It's mixed in with the flowers also. Pick everything so something else can spawn. Don't get mad at a pre-alpha game. Put in suggestions in the feedback page or maybe the game at this point in time isn't for you.
I feel like Iโm crossing my fingers for the soulframe equivalent of a legendary core with how long Iโve been trying to get just this stuff
Itโs opened to prealpha specifically for the feedback
It wonโt change if no one mentions it
cross your fingers it's just to pad the current lack of content and not because it's being designed by the WF devs from the before times...
yall think this water's just magically slowed down in time just for this spot or it's some other magic? 
fey magics
probably, the fact that it's currently just another mastery fodder game seems to point that way.
Iโve been picking up everything. Nothing but specifically pearl spawns have given me pearls
That and avakot
I donโt mind supporting a game i am enjoying. But the current direction of both these games make the grind feel point less for compete different reasons
Warframe because anything that is not just a fancy number or title will eventually be available to you with little investment screwing over those who have invested a lot of time
It's also funny that people point that it's just a "pre-alpha" game when warframe is a 13 year old game in beta.
Soulframe because currently itโs just pointless to try and grind anything
hardly say little investment at all
Steel path before new war
Arbitration before steel path
if it makes you feel any better, I don't think any pacts feel particularly good to play. idk if anything else requires river pearls to craft, but you're not missing much if you never craft the pacts.
Being able to straight up buy helminth segments
it's just pearls. there's plenty of boss grinds. there's always gonna be a rare resource. you could finish bosses and cogah runes. not saying it spawning naturally doesn't need to be a bit buffed, cuz it does. but there's plenty to do that also passively gives you them, while progressing you in other areas too.
none of those sound like little investments though.
Well is it the lack of pearls or lack of quick gratification tbh
They are compared to the size of the game
Because sure it can take some time to get pearls but I don't think it's so dramatic
anything can be compared like that and seem small tho
If you focus solely on getting to steel path. The new war quest line will take you longer than unlocking steel path and arbitration.
Vs having to complete everything
Before the change
Itโs starting to feel like they want you to hand them their bag and leave
Not actually stick around
I wouldn't say it's that big of a deal, because people are still gonna have to do every node anyway if they want mastery. and just having access doesn't imply proficiency. the wall of having to do everything for what's pretty much become the base way to play the game is definitely a bit much.
It didn't feel like this to me at all
before it made sense, a little. but nowadays steel path is just like... the normal game now 
I guess I have more patience
Steel path was supposed to be new game plus
well pearls spawn rate naturally along water does need a buff, true. but it's probably still gonna be a rare resource.
I donโt mind it being rare but again Iโve been focused on finding them for 5 irl days and still only found 10 total with 4 coming from avakot
steel path was always just hard mode tho, from the start with the bonus' it became defacto in resource farming over anything
That averages to 2 a day
Took me two weeks to get all the parts (2) for gathannan
I gotchu, its more than likely to be addressed. that's why I just suggest focus on farms that revolve around bosses/cogah bosses cuz the drop rate isn't that bad from those, and you get to complete alternate grinds from weapons, armor, and runes
You could be doing faction tales tier 3 n get points to buy 8 pearls at a time
I just got off after doing 4 and getting 0
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
they mean spending rep to buy pearls from the faction store, there
Is there a material difference with the wyld pacts in terms of gameplay?
you can buy 4 or 8 depending on which one you buy, and what rank you are I believe
2, 4, 8
wyld has slightly higher base virtues, and their upgrade tree is hated with the base version letting you have 60 points
think it's ranks 3,4,5
Does this game have the stupid daily affinity cap too?
16k
that won't change either. caps prevent markets flooding and letting people with more time devalue what's available.
There is no market yet?
Thatโs a bummer
And max resource caps can prevent that
whys that? if it's because you don't wanna buy them right now,they'll be available for everyone later
Ohhh I didnโt realize that ok
No cap on affinity
Enclave standing is currently capped to 16000 a day
lvl3 silent rose and im already dying inside to grind reputation 
Thought they would always be a MTX
that is hardly different from a daily cap
No it is
Cuz if you sell em off
You still gotta go get more
It doesnโt prevent you from getting more
Like a daily cap
yeah, it's about supporting a market. resources arent traded, but like weapons, mods, arcanes
there will be, thats why they are the way they are
system works, don't need to break it
Then do it whe there is
Like why rate limit for something Thats not even implemented
And likely wonโt be for a long time
you're still creating a situation where a huge gap can be built. it's not just about day to day trading, but long term.
So they donโt want you to play long term
this way there's a gap that rewards active players, but isn't so out of control it's about balancing players with less time vs more.
That defeats the purpose of driving engagement
If you want people to play stop removing reasons to because they played too long
If they wanna keep farming cool Thats someone whoโs more likely to buy other things from you
Rather than feel punished for engaging
how is that so? you can still grind and build yourself every day, for example. someone who gets to play twice a week shouldn't have to sell what he gets for scraps because some with time to do it all day makes a market item value crash
I mean
Galvanized mods dropped hard in value for a similar reason
โIt takes too long for new players to get good equipment. Letโs make it to where you can get them instantly.โ
that's just because they were already sitting on a resource that gained new use, each time. that'd why they also keep doing new stores.
when they add more galvanized to the store after already having a lot of vitus essence from grinding, it's not gonna have a lot of value because it'll be bought en masse immediately
Whatโs the grind for now? A higher number? A fancy title?
galvanized crashed because it essentially got a pity system, but a lot of players already had a lot of those resources
if you're struggling to find that answer, take a break? there's always something to earn. Just because it's not super exclusive doesn't make it a bad grind or not worth it.
Whatโs next ayatan pity?

I did take a break i uninstalled when I heard
ig you'll be glad you got here recently instead of earning preludes honor, just to lose the "exclusivity" of it
if you're determined for things that set you apart from the rest, DE recent idealogy might not sit well with you
I used to get on every day because it felt worth it. Like I could find valuables that I could trade to earn plat
Now itโs practically more cost efficient to buy platinum
Due to the sheer time investment
I mean I think there is a lot of wisdom in saying that if you aren't getting anything out of it, just stop playing Soulframe for the time being. The game is in active development. They stated this is the year they ramp it up. But at the end of the day, it's still extremely barebones. You cannot expect whole systems. Everything is fragmented atm and all still subject to be changed/altered. They're trying to create an eco-system of interconnected mechanics. If they rush to finalize development then in the long term, these systems are going to feel way worse
Itโs insane how an open market game suddenly became a game where you loose less money by spending more
This conversation just makes me even more worried that this game is just too much like warframe... giving me Metaphor: Re Fantazio vibes. Devs spent all this time talking about how excited they were to make a different game, only to make one trapped by all the same gameplay systems as the last one.
Time spent earning money / earning plat vs buying it
I think it's a difference of being used to trading now vs trading then. trading chat vs warframe.market. prices getting naturalized was an inevitability, and hardly the fault of de where players set the prices.
I agree
Whole reason I swapped over was I expected a different game not just dark souls with warframe downsides
the players set the terms on what's worth what depending on time investment, warframe having an ever growing player base this was an inevitability. can't fight the system when it's entirely the players that control it. faction caps and time investment are really just there to support prices not being 1p for everything
Itโs still gonna wind up being shit price when you make everything easy to obtain over time.
Starting the game with the system to prevent it then later deciding โoh hey newer players take too long to get newer things.โ
Defeats the purpose
I kinda wish they had just made this as a small team long term single player game/ passion project.
and yet, the pearls are the issue that started this...
maybe it wouldn't have to be this live service thing they are struggling to fit into the themes
I'm not sure how all these claims are being thrown around. We don't have a market in place. I mean we don't even know if the current drop rates/drop tables will survive through launch
just feels like you want things gated out more, even when there's not a lot of reason for it. the changes they made for the new player experience only help, there's no reason to stick by old borders on what people can or can't do
"Darksouls with warframe downsides" is crazy work considering this is simply not a souls game and we havent even seen the downsides of market interaction
It kinda invalidates any accomplishments for veteran players
You can't buy most faction items excluding the 6 starting syndicates weapons in Warframe which have a value of like 15 plats for 4 days of farm so it's not correlated to prices, drop rarity of exchangeable items like arcanes or even worse with riven stats.
just doubly odd to hear that, especially when prisms are a topic on player freedom and the loss of it right now, to hear that there should be more things separating what people can or can't do
that's... kinda what this is tho? but in live service form? with optional co-op
it is. when everyone is in a faction and passively earn it every day doing whatever. its cheap for a reason
Remove dark sectors, clans are too important.
Remove SP requirements,
Remove arbitration requirements.
F it remove MR requirements too

Look im not against gating. But in no world do we even know what the Soulframe endgame structure will even look like. Things are open beacuse this is a test and they are wanting players to envelope in systems and provide feedback
Why are we judging Soulframe's current state to Warframes? Or even what Soulframe will look like on launch
people like comparing
after 13 years of playing warframe I can only say all those changes helped the new player experience, and had almost no effect on the veteran experience
at least make the comparisons make sense is all I ask lmao
lol
Because it looks like itโs going the same direction for all the wrong reasons?
too wound up in how others play the game versus how you do it
How? We have no market. No indication of a market. No understanding of what will be rare. No idea of how trading will work
A tall ask for many gamers.
How do we see "the same direction"
It sounds like you came into a Soulframe chat to doom and gloom about how terrible Warframe is
Daily standing caps
trading is definitely coming, they have talked about it
Which like fine, its your opinion. But I'd wage most of us don't really care
Obscene resource drops
Im not saying it wont. but we have ZERO idea what it will look like
Lack of tangible progress
farm braton and lato vandal
I wish... but so far it just feels like a bare bones platform for future warframe type resource grinds. The bosses and combat systems currently present would be unacceptable in a single player action game.
Im seeing a lot of comparisons
and will these resources still be relevant to end game? will there be harder to obtain resources?
Oh wait I just backread this whole situation is just about market while we don't even know if we'll get a market ?
You're looking for comparisons. That's different
Remarkable
Yes, we are getting trading. Yes, this game will have an economy. But we have NO idea what it will look like
You just told me there no comparisons
And we arent even close to that point
Then got mad i pointed some out
tbh it all started with pearls. and how they need a natural world spawn rate buff, which I believe anyone can agree one
Wth
But you didnt. You're creating false comparisons cause it fits your mental mold of "soulframe bad cause warframe bad"
The only thing we know of trading so far is that Founder will be able to give the blueprint for the greatsword to others, thats like the only thing we know about trading between players
Obscene resource drops is just pearls lol
With Pearls specifically it's possible there's a bit of a bug, as they've had spawn point overlap issues with flowers and other overworld objects in the past.
Hopefully if that's the case it does get fixed
Nah gemstones are hell to get even with Circade but pearls can be bought with standing anyway
Lack of tangible progress is made up how?
Yeah. I've said before that I think the fact that the majority of spots that they can spawn in at spawn brinefloss when you log in/relog is a bug.
does anyone get this weird stuttering when allocating arts points/changing equipment
Daily standing cap is only an issue for some who has too much free time
Also it's a grinding game so I don't mind pearls being rare especially when you can buy them
oh yeah grinding a blessed feybalt without spending rep... fun
And even then. People who put veteran hours into this game will tell you that Pearls are not that bad to farm if you know what you're doing. Same with Moranite and the like. And AGAIN. We have ZERO idea these drop tables are balanced correctly. We dont even know if DE's radar is on balancing this stuff at the moment.
real. it keeps a market from crashing.
tho yes, it could be raised a bit. considering it has stayed the same since we first got factions where you'd get 100 rep per tale.
Tbh farming gemstones in Circade is almost fun
It's crazy to approach daily standing cap with the assumption the system is finished
it is, I like it
As I said before doesn't sound like a problem with a game to me but like a problem with lack of instant gratification that someone expects
Nothing wrong with markets crashing. Affordable items for everyone.
wish circade crypts were a bit larger if anything
These systems aren't finished/fleshed out fully until DE says they are
Okay, sounds like there's some disagreement going on here, let's make sure to keep it civil please folks.
People already using speculation economics for a market that is yet to exist
The market crashes anyway when you remove value from what youโre allowed to sell
well it means those with less time would have to spend significantly more time just to keep up with people who can't. a market itself yeah everything can be cheap, people farming to save for heirlooms will have no fun at all whatsoever.
Like warframe does constantly
We dont even know what will be valuable by the time the market releases
There is no market what is this even about
We have tutorial island that isn't even finished
Eh. People like speculating. It happens now and then.
Give DE room to breathe and grow the game. Judge the game based on it's launch state or AT LEAST it's beta state. Instead of coming into an Alpha discord saying how the game is DoA
With that said tutorial island gave me almost 2 months of fun gameplay they was satisfying, for free and I am excited to see how the game develops
Technically warframe still hasnโt launched officially
tbf three years is a long time for how little there is in soulframe.
nnnnnnnot allowed. we must judge it now and sentence it to (insert some harsh/horrible thing here i guess)
even entertaining how hollow this argument is.... there is a massive difference between pre-alpha/alpha and Early Access
the team has had to help Warframe on multiple occasions during that.
Alternatively, don't feed the trolls. There's always some people trolling about the game being DOA.
I remember playing Baldur's gate 3 in 2020 when it was only 3 years in development and yeah... it's not even close.
Im not trying to say itโs dead on arrival. Im just seeing some similarities that are concerning
completely different teams, situations, tools on top of a ton of knowledge in the backend side of development none of us knows about

Okay, sounds like it might be time for everyone to take a break. If you have feedback for the game, it may be better taken to #1438224662344761345 , but this is leading to some high emotions so it may be time to move on.
Umm you named one drop which is pearls
I mentioned other reasons
There are two others gathannan prolly hugged and dewelion
Well you generalize heavily and it's not very fair
And yall dismiss heavily whats your point?
PSA: Don't forget to pet/hug your wolf pup.
Is there any point to the wolf pup rn?
Pup is meant to be a mount later but the systems for affection and stuff around it are still not ready, is what it sounds like.
There is not. Mounts coming later this year. Pup will factor in
Eventual mount system. Currently, the narrative is that the pup is our adopted kid, serving as the ancor of our blood pact with Orengall.
dna stability flashbacks
Unlikely, it seems they just want to have some progression around Mounts.
Doubt they'd kill your wolfy
pup flushed into the vacuum of nightfold confirmed.
Game is too pro-animal and kind to nature
They don't even let you kill the mind controlled puppers the Ode use
The whole floor just swirls like a big toilet bowl if you donโt pay enough attention and he goes back to mama
I love that tbh
Indeed. In WF they even got rid of the pets temporarily dying. Now they just get downed/koed for a bit then get back up.
Temporarily?
Oh hun you musta missed the old days
They could die in missions, then be fine in the orbiter. You just lost use of them till the next mission.
You used to have them actually die if it happened too much
Since shields don't have a +parry window upgrade node, does this mean they have a bigger parry by defaut?
or ignored them too long
Pupsicle in the vacuum of space
Anyways, point being, maybe at worst you'd get a small pupper again if you neglect them
No pup death allowed
Anymore
Neglect system in-game would be insane lmao
the lack of stabilizers made me think they just turned to goo
*in Soulframe, sorry, should have been clearer
Heheh
True
I think that was the implication, ordis said he vented them into space, so that's what I aways pictured.
Which wasn't a thing by the time I started playing, about 7 years ago... You need to look at how WF is now if you wanna see where SF might be going. Outdated systems/info is likely not goinna be retread.
they gotta make combat better tbh should be their focus, more combos, more variety
working on it. this is a very early stage of development.
Itโs being made by the team that worked on the old days
I think they are still trying to decide what game this is supposed to be.
Warframe now is a different team
you're prob right
Warframe and Soulframe will share code/tech where applicable and elsewhere will have custom scripts and systems. Character customization, for example, is being shared in terms of new tech.
do you literally mean the old days
they don't want another duiviri disaster
People keep saying that, but it's not like they've learned nothing. just because they're making a new game with the old team doesn't mean the same product.
oraxia mat farm is abysmal
Like back when the orbiter was little more than a black screen with the solar system on it and lotus could curse
they are making a lot of old mistakes I saw back in 2012 when my starter was freaking loki...
Steve has a million good ideas but trouble focusing on important systems, hopefully he can reign himself in with this. Was very evident when they made Reb lead in Warframe
The WF and SF teams aren't completely seperated. There's people who work on both games.
yeah pretty sure they're also physically within proximity cos same building i believe
I still wonder why lotus used to swear
think we're correlating mistakes to early implementations of systems
natah had a potty moth
Art imititaing life?
This was before natah was even a thought
Developers evolve and games evolve. I think i'd be a mistake to assume a lot about Soulframe until we see systems get cemented more
โGet the hell out of thereโ
