    So true. You also have the acolytes event that they could use much more frequently. One might argue that it is to keep the prices high on some drops. But what is more important ? Maintaining a lot of players that pay a little, or making much less players occasionally pay a bit more ? Maybe it's the void maiming strike left in me , but I really think it wouldn't hurt at all to have the acolytes more often, like a bi-monthly thing. Mods would still be pretty rare, but obtainable.

    well I mean look at primed chamber, DE clearly quite likes some mods being extremely rare because people be buying thousands of plat to buy the mod.

    To quote myself from a few months and years ago. Feel free to ignore the parts that aren't directly relevant to your post.

    It's not necessary. You're vastly exaggerating the importance of automatic AoE looting, like pretty much everyone else who's in favor of this. The longer you play the less the demand becomes for this convenience, and since you already have a range of Sentinels to choose from and an(admittedly unreliable, but still dedicated) animal companion for looting, you have no solid reason to demand vacuum to be a universal feature without any drawbacks involved.

    From a game economical standpoint, not giving players univac is beneficial because it reduces the amount of resource stockpile bloat across the player base, especially new and intermediate players.

    it not being necessary isn't really a valid point, allot of stuff isn't necessary, vacuum isn't, notifications aren't, majority of convenience features in this game aren't necessary but they are in here because it makes for a better experience.

    is there a solid reason why there should be a drawback to universal vacuum?

    If you take it all out of context and push the absolute limit of min maxing then sure, any excalibur that isn't Umbra is irrelevant for winning a stats game.

    Watch what happens when context is added:

    For 95% of the game's content, a vanilla excalibur is more than adequate with the right mods and equipment

    For the remaining 5%... a vanilla excalibur that has been min maxed will still do fine because excalibur is that strong

    For fights against sentients, vanilla excalibur merely requires the extra step of using operator to nullify sentient resistances, a step that's arguably optional since you'll probably delete the sentients through resistances anyway because of how grossly overpowered everything is when you actually min max it.

    In situations where you need to fight with your operator for extended periods, Umbra might actually be worse due to the risk of him getting deleted when not under your control compared to regular frames.

    In situations where you want to show off how you've significantly supported DE during the game's early, uncertain beginnings, well Excalibur Prime is the only tool for the job and all other variants are irrelevant.

    So given how well Vanilla excalibur would do, and the one situation where Excalibur Prime actually makes the other two irrelevant, I think it's fair to say Excalibur Prime is so incredibly far from irrelevance that the notion was absurd from conception. Please do see if DE can restore your Excalibur Prime OP, it's more than a stack of stats to be weighed against other frames.

    just because vanilla/prime requires an extra step doesn't mean umbra isn't superior, by virtue that they require less steps to do something they are superior and better.

    only time you would need to fight with operator for extended periods of time would be eidolons in which case why even bring a excalibur, in that case normal and prime excalibur would be the same, after all with those 2 your frame is immune while outside of it so the stat differences are irrelevant.

    just because the normal version would do doesn't mean the other version isn't better, you're basically saying primes aren't better than their normal frames because the normal frames ''will do'' yeah they will, but that doesn't change the fact they're superior, only valid argument is eidolons but like I said, excalibur doesn't even has a place in that fight, be it normal, prime or umbra.

    so yeah nice try, but your context changed nothing, umbra is still superior in 99% of the cases and in the other 1% all 3 forms of excalibur are bad so it doesn't matter

  4. played since closed beta.

    my opinion is mixed, the game is fun, I like that they add new stuff to the game but whenever they add something new they spend couple weeks on it and then abandon it to make new content, that new content gets released, gets couple weeks of polish and then also abandoned and this is how they've been doing things for years, result is that they have to rework all their systems all the time.

    the other issue is that with every new piece of content being released the lack of tutorials gets worse and worse, had a mr2 player on earth on the plains of eidolon frustrated that he found a enemy he couldn't even damage.

    the grind has also gotten worse over the years, they're trying more extreme forms of grind like the HEMA, ferrox and the like and if it doesn't work out they give the typical bs company response of ''we've heard your feedback AND WE AGREE WITH YOU!'' that every other company says when they get called out on bs, somehow they get this magical revelation and agree with us, yeah right.

    don't get me wrong I like the game but I'm being wary of their actions and attitude towards the grind of the game.

    Yeah, let's ignore the community and focus on that egotistical pro-doxxing "game journalist"

    hate is real.

    whether you like it or not rebcca admitted he gave the final push, had he not done that it may not have happened we don't know.

     

    even if you put it in ''quotes'' he is still a games journalist and 1 of the better ones in this games industry as he actually calls out bullS#&$ when he sees it, unlike the majority.

    I have a friend who can hardly even play on PoE. This will kill the game for him....

    unless what they showed will be the only thing playable in the game from that point on I don't see how it would kill the game for him, he can still play the game just fine just not venus and the ship thingy
