  1. I see you gathered before me. Hungry, terrified, clutching your warframes to your breast. The DDoS-ers have marched their legions into our lands, laid siege to every server from here to the Dark Sectors. Rabid and ravenous they bite and bite away. Tenno, you stand at the precipice! Your Lotus has failed you, so now you turn to Digital Extremes. And yet you do not plead! You do not kneel to dust your heads with ash. Instead you wail why have Digital Extremes have forsaken us. We must look into the mastery ranks we've failed long ago. In a time past our world intertwined with another through an upheaval scholars call the First DDoS Attack. Digital Extremes allowed unholy forces to slip into our domain. The offspring of that cataclysm was the nefarious force called "Whiners". 

    Yet we did not banish it. Instead studying the vile kin for our own power and wealth. And the monsters at our door, the unholy relics of this First DDoS - the trolls, the salt-eaters, the edgelords - did we raise our Skanas against them? Or have we laid this burden on others? What so called - "Players". Stray children taught the ways of foul sorcery. Their bodies mutated through blasphemous ritual. Sent to fight monsters though they could not distinguish good from evil. The flicker of humanity long extinguished howl within them. Yes, their numbers have dwindled through the years. But a few still roam our lands offering their bloody work for platinum. To this day they shame us with their very existence. 

    The Servers bleed...flogged by DDoS attacks. The battles are Digital Extremes' Scoliac, chastisement for our sins. And let us not forget the terrors that scourges from beyond our world. The lynchers ride the sky with every full moon. The dark reign has abduct our children into lands unknown. Some say they herald the Next DDoS attack. Can we chart our course back into the light? Will we find the strength to banish the elitists from our kingdoms? Unite under the warmth of the eternal fire! Nigh is the time of the Skana and Scindo. None will fight this war in our stead! Nigh is the time of madness and disdain!

  2. Here are some below. Ah yes, and always remember, end with a 'badum-tss' ;)

    If you know things are going to get intense, just tell your squad to: stay frosty.

    When things do get intense, just be like: Relax everyone, just keep your head cool.

    When your squad is quiet, just say: I guess I'll break the ice, *insert another pun here*

    When you meet someone new, be like: Ice to meet you.

    When someone says thanks, reply with: Snow problem.

    When someone's being salty/mean, just say: why do you have to be so cold?

    If you happen to have a shotgun or just a massive af weapon, just pull out: Ice-talavista, babeh.

    When you be doing sortie missions and the special condition is 'fog': Well, here's to poor ice-sight.

    Out of nowhere: I guess I could create some albums since I'm doing some cold-play.

    If an equinox is on the team: Hey Equinox, do you happen to be bi-polar?

    If you die or something sad happens: I cryo-vrytime.

    BA DUM TSS

    Yeah, it's ready to go.  Make sure you download it directly, as the original .PNG.  Should look pretty cool.

    Just send me a screenshot . I enjoy doing this kind of stuff occasionally.

    Thank you so much, it looks absolutely amazing. Exactly how I had imagined it, it's simply perfect!

    Sorry guys, If I had more plat I'd definitely do that. D= I already gave the winner his prize, and bought myself the bundle as well. Over 1.5K plat spent right there. XD

    Sorry, I wish I could gift it to all of you <3

    Haha, you must be loaded :P

    It's fine, hosting the contest in the first place was enough <3

    It would look fine.  Keeping the intensity below about 190/255 will keep it from being totally washed out.  The details will be visible if you get close and give it more than a glance.

    Oh, you want some kind of hand-drawn "paintbrush" effect.  That's a little harder to pull off with the tools I have available.  This also contradicts what you asked for originally, which was to even out all the spacing and make it "perfect".

    Ah okay cool thanks. Yeah, I was talking about how it'll lose that '100% sameness' if the emblem would be made runic, but I was talking more about the width and stuff to be more or less the same.

    Came out more "chalky" than "painty", but here you go.

    Aaand wow, just wow. It's perfect! :D Will I be able to submit this directly or do I have to do certain things? Also, what do you want as reward? xD I owe you one dude!

    Eh.  Did it.

    It looks amazing :D But do you personally think it'll look great once in game? Like the lighting and the cracks and all...I know my definition of runic wasn't very clear (sorry about that) but I was thinking more along the lines of something like this:

    33df3ab3-67d2-4a01-8533-c6ff03e106ab_l.j

    The way how the edges look slightly uneven and how there are small 'holes' in some of them. Other than that, the logo is looking great! :D It's looking really close to what I had in my mind! Wish I had that kind of skill haha.

  7. Thanks for all the tips and submissions!

     @Buff00n, I'm interested to see how far you'll go since it was just a rough version :o Think you can make it look more runic and somewhat even (the first line's thickness as opposed to the upside down 'v').While making it look more runic, I suppose the 100% perfect sameness of width will be lost, but yeah, if its possible :D

    Thanks, @mindlord0013, I'll use your step by step if it comes down to the worst case scenario where I'll have to use my sub-par artistic skills ;_;

    I'd use Photoshop since the final result has to be PNG.

    - place a texture layer on top and set it to 'clipping mask' to make your runic rock

    - try setting layers to different 'blend modes' to achieve preferred color composition

    - simple 'layer style' effects can make it look more complete; play around with 'bevel & emboss', 'outer glow', 'drop shadow' etc...

    - use 'save for web' to make 24-bit PNG with transparency at 128x128 pixel resolution

    Mhm, thing is, I've played with those before and it did not really look good xD I just don't have skill in digital art, except if you count photoshopping faces and MLG-fying stuff as 'art' haha. Don't want to impose on you guys, though it'll make our clan look so much better!

    Was this how u thought of it?

    :o I like the way you made it look more runic, but I was thinking of a neon red glow with a white core like most neon lights. Ya know, like the colors should only include the white, red and anything in between :P Something like this maybe:

    Thanks for the submission though! :D

  10. Turns out this is going to be my very first thread/question haha. Not sure if it's the right place so please forgive me, almighty gods of the forum :o

    So since a week or two ago, I've managed to completely remodel my little ghost clan so that the clan members can have a little more pride. It's been going great and I really love how the clan's turned out so I decided to invest in it even more by trying to create our own logo! :D It didn't seem that bad at first, until i tried in both Photoshop, Illustrator and even fricking MS paint. There's a reason why I stick to traditional art rather than digital D'x

    Anyways, I was wondering if there was any kind tenno out there who'd be willing to help me design the emblem! I can spare some plat or even try farming some parts for you guys, though I'm kinda poor (if I buy the logo that is) and most of my prime parts have been turned to ducats after Baro's last sale. However, I'll try my best and everything so yeah, some incentive haha.

    I've already designed the basic emblem in black and white, but can't get around 'perfecting' the actual shape. 'Perfecting' as in: 

    • the angles aren't off and more or less the same
    • the spacing being equal everywhere
    • Transparency layers around the logo (showed in black, click the 'hidden content' button)
    • vectorising the whole thing

    Logo doesn't look too bad now does it? xD

     

    Additionally, the most important aspect would probably be a neon glow. Like, a red neon glow with a white core (like most neon lights). I know the outer glow feature looks great on Illustrator since its all vector and whatever, but I just wasn't able to get the actual shape :/

    Finally, maybe a really awesome touch would be to make the white parts look very runic, ya know, as if it was carved in a rock. I don't know how else to describe it, but it'll make the actual emblem look ancient rather than modern.

    I'll try to do whatever in my power to repay you guys xD Thanks a lot in advance!

    the music wasnt fair man QqQ.. lol good touch haha

     

     

    xD Yeah, I think I'll add an (Optional) there. I really love this specific soundtrack because it's so moving. I put on YouTube repeat and listen to it while working and I get so much done...if I'm not drenching my books in tears ;_; 

  12. So before checking out my submission, maybe adding some ambiance music would be awesome ;) It's optional, so you might as well keep it on for all the other submissions since it's such an awesome soundtrack ^^

    So here's my actual submission (hopefully, you got the music on! It'll make it much better hehe)

    As she looked into the faceless suit, her eyes were attracted to the glimmer of silver and the humming purple lights that adorned the Warframe. It was currently on stand-by, but it stared at her almost as if it was another person. It looked like it wanted to speak so the silence in the Transference Room was finally broken, but they just stayed there, gazing at one another. This proved to be even more intense than the biggest of firefights or Assassination missions. Even the frantic races to the extraction point after a successful capture did not compare to this. This was something else. It wasn't her staring at lifeless armor or gazing into the nonexistent eyes of a warrior. No, it was her staring into a mirror. The Operator wanted to caress the frame's metal face-plate, but instead found the words that had been stuck in her throat.

    "My Warframe is the hand," she said with a smile.

    "and I am the will."

    Edit: Ohhh and good luck to you all! :D Hopefully we'll all get Sandman soon enough :P

    Well, fashion does play an important role in this game. 

    Still, I feel like when taken to numbers status falls flat after 100% and ,again IMO, it should be an alternative beyond utility, maybe an increase not in damage but utility itself? Something like double proc? or maybe a powered proc? something that could show that a 150% proc is way better than a regular proc. n.n

    Seriously speaking, I kinda agree with you. An added utility or enhanced version of a proc would be awesome, like the way how corrosive stacks for example.

  14. Nyx and her prime counterpart are simply, a must-have for all players. It's when you start sticking with her that some people just don't get. I don't blame them, it can be 'boring' to use Nyx. However imo, Nyx is an amazing frame.

    Her first ability Mind Control can become VERY useful in later game, especially when using it on Ancients since they give you a damage reduction buff if you're near them, making bullets and lasers feel like mosquito stings even against Sortie enemies (levels 60-100).

    Her 2nd just looks pretty cool but isn't very useful in the long run, though radiation can be proc'd fairly frequently.

    With Chaos being her 3rd, Nyx can more or less protect an objective by herself, no matter the level. Since Chaos affects the enemies around you, the damage output of Nyx's Chaos scales with the enemies. That basically means her presence will be felt for the duration of the mission (especially in survivals and defenses). Many Nyx players mod her for Chaos for a reason.

    Finally, Absorb is also very useful. It can save you from unpleasant situations such as being stun-locked by bombards since all you have to do is press 4 and voila, you basically become Aang as bullets and explosives get absorbed by your massive balls. Oh yeah, you can also kill enemies with your balls or knock them down. Did I mention the fully sick SFX that plays when your balls explode?

    Conclusively, I feel that she is one of the more underplayed frames in Warframe. She's definitely worth building for other reasons e.g. Mastery Rank, versatility, etc. but using her as one of your mains? Yeah, that depends on your preference. It all goes down to your play-style and how you feel when playing as Nyx. Maybe try investing an Orokin Reactor if you still feel undecided? They always show the 'true potential' of items.

    Like I always say, Nyx is like a sponge. She's really useful, absorbs stuff, creates bubbles and most importantly,

    You want her with you in the shower ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

  15. Both can be just as useful and fun as the other. One may like blasting enemies off the map, or have their screen filled with red numbers, it doesn't really matter. 

    Kills made and damage dealt...they shouldn't be a focus to most of us. We play games to have fun after all, and though some people might define their definition of fun as being on top of the leader boards, then that's great for them.

    For me, it was always about helping people without spoon-feeding them and looking the best you can. Fashionframe true endgame :P
