First of all, I was mistaken about you saying that Rebecca overreacted. Someone else with the same profile image said it, and I just assumed it was the same person.
As far as my "inhuman act" comment, that is my opinion, as well as what seems to be the opinion of a good portion of this thread. If you disagree, fine. Just don't come on here to scold us for showing respect and solidarity towards Rebecca along with outrage towards the idiot who tweeted that "threat".
If you'll reread my post, you'll see that I said "from a total stranger". Last time I checked, a "friend" doesn't constitute a "total stranger". Then again, I learned about context clues in Pre-K.
Also, if you'll read my post, I said that the negative light comes from a combination of rage-filled threads and the recent "threat/threats".
Also, while that whole "7 billion people in the world, only one needed to make a threat" is true, that doesn't justify it. Saying that it can't be changed just gives more people the license to do it, including the psychos who might actually try to follow through!
I do have to ask, though, what planet you live on to think that a single threat doesn't justify a response, and that the threats need to be more regular and more severe before people care! "Oh, no! People are rallying around someone who received a potentially 'joking' death threat! They must be brainless and chauvinistic! If only they knew that the right time to worry was after the person was being threatened regularly! After all, one threat is meaningless. But daily threats? Now we can send the person our sympathies." Illogic like that is what causes people to miss the signs of depression and suicidal tendencies in people. "Eh, they're just having a bad day. They'll get over it. They posted that they're thinking of suicide after some friendly hazing? Surely they're joking! I'll just wait until tomorrow to talk to them." End result? The person in need is ignored and bad things happen.
And really? "Cheesy comments"? Granted, some comments are a little cheesy, referring to her as "Spacemom" or talking about sharpening/loading <insert Warframe weapon here> to hunt this guy down, but those are meant, IMO, to give Rebecca something to smile at after this craziness. So excuse us if we want to support her. If you disagree with us, then just leave this thread and stop trolling. Everything was fine until people felt the need to force their contrasting opinion on the portion of the community that's supporting Rebecca this way.
You want to talk about making a problem worse by pretending there is one (I.E. starting a problem), look at this thread and the negative responses that have popped up. What was meant to support DE and Rebecca has now become an argument between multiple people over whether the threat was legitimate, whether Rebecca or the community overreacted, and whether or not this thread has any real purpose. I thought that I'd see loads of positivity when I clicked on this thread to see how far it had gone since yesterday, and instead I found negativity sprinkled throughout. So, in an attempt to be civil, if anyone reads this thread and thinks that the community is stupid/overreacting or whatever and that this thread shouldn't exist, THEN IGNORE IT! No one is forcing you to read it, or even acknowledge it!
My response to your first couple of sentences accidentally got deleted, ill just focus on the big paragraphs this time.
ok nvm, sifting through all the darkness of your response (south park reference) has taught me that you jump to conclusions easily and you are to a degree a hypocrite (You say ignoring stupid jokes is a terrible thing and can lead to x yet suggest people ignore a thread if they happen to want to point out an overreaction)
When I say this I say it with utmost sincerity : Slow down, and think about it rationally

I don't think there's a "debatably" about it in this situation. It either is or isn't.
*proceeds to walk away*
It could be considered either a threat or a joke due to the way it was written. It wasn't a clear "Im gonna kill you" nor a "I disagree with the recent changes". Its all up to interpretation

Whether or not it was a "joke" is not the point, nor is the number of "joking threats". Whether it was one tweet, or 1,000 tweets, it was out of line. And, whether it was one jerk with a twisted sense of humor or 100 psychopaths, it was an inhuman act. In today's day and age, is it a wonder that people take even "joking" death threats seriously?
Not only that, but we do realize that Rebecca is a grown woman who can stand up for herself. The point of this is not to be "white knights", but to show solidarity and respect for her. Be honest: if you received a death threat on social media, even once "jokingly" from a total stranger, wouldn't you be at least a little concerned about it? Even dismissing it as a joke doesn't get rid of the concern fully. And while you may think it is disrespectful that we are rallying after one tweet, imagine how disrespectful it is to act as if the recipient of the threat is overreacting. And, don't you think it's possible that maybe, with all of the hate circling TWW and Vacuum, Rebecca and DE might see the community in a more negative light, with threats popping up now? Responses like this are why death threats over video games still persist. Communities attempt to shun these freaks, but there's always someone who says that the majority is "overreacting". You don't solve a problem by pretending it isn't there, you make it worse.
Hold it. HOLD. IT
Did I say Rebecca was overreacting? Hell to the no. Seriously if you're going to emphasize a point in bold letters at least get it right. It is the community that is overreacting here, not her.
An inhuman act? It was a stupid joke for christ's sake. You're making a mountain out of a mole hill budd. Nowhere near an actual death threat, saying lmao kys has more credence than what he said.
Showing solidarity and respect, over a single tweet? A stupid one at that? Because you think she is concerned about her safety? Really sounds like white knighting to me
The closest thing to a death threat was "kys fgt" from one of my friends while playing Rainbow Six. Looking at it in context it was a joke, just like what happened to Rebecca and I forgot about it the next day. No need to use "jokingly" as if im misunderstanding the meaning of what was said. We learned about context clues back in elementary, idk about you.
Yeah I could imagine her seeing the community in a more negative light. But rather due to the multiple discussions criticizing the bad ideas they have put forward, not because of so called "threats"
Death threats in video games will always persist, 7 billion people out there, only takes one to make a death threat. What's important is to discern whats a legitimate threat and whats a poorly executed joke.
If someone is being threatened daily, or back to back with full hearted death threats or insults, then a full community response would be justified.
But if someone got debatably "threatened" once and the full community (or atleast a good portion on the forums) was in uprising, cheesy comments in hand. Then it is an overreaction.
And you don't solve problems by pretending there actually is one, you make it worse.

I just love how people are trying to excuse his behavior. "it was just a joke." Yeah, that's what everyone says when they get called out on their BS. Idc if they were joking or not. That kind of behavior is not acceptable. The fact people think it is is amazing
Exactly. It was a joke. Therefor a letter of support full of cringe inducing comments is not needed
A stupid joke in bad taste should be disregarded and forgotten like it should be. Need I remind you it was from one guy. "OMG Rebecca pls don't think we're all like him!1!"
If this was a good amount of back to back, more serious comments (give or take 50) then such a post would be justified.
Rebecca is a grown woman. I understand this post was made out of respect. But if you think she needs white knights making a letter of support over one stupid tweet, then that shows how unrealistically fragile you think she is. I don't know what could be more disrespectful

Of course I support this and DE. No matter what, that kind of behaviour can only be met with the strongest resistance.
So if someone says "Lol kys" there has to be a 6 page thread denouncing it?
-
Looking at the actual tweet it doesn't seem all that serious, and shouldn't be considered as such.
I doubt she is broken up over this to the point where she needs support on the forums. It really seems like people on here will take any opportunity to suck up to any of the staff members.

This guy gets it. Every single Sentinel has their own special abilities PLUS Vacuum now. This is why Vacuum itself needed a nerf. You can't have the whole damn cake, folks.
hot damn that is perfectly legitimate reasoning, I can't touch that. Other than I think the distance should be like 8m but thats another topic for another day
thnx fam

So he makes something like the Void Trees that showers buffs and health on allies around it? Could be interesting. Would be a bit weird on the cramped Grineer Gallion, but neat nonetheless.
Precisely like those void trees. Yeah cramped tilesets could be an issue depending on the size

I honestly think Oberon is in a pretty good place for now. Minor stat tweaks would be neat but I don't think anything beyond that is needed.
The only big issue I can think of with him is that Renewal still has travel time, in addition to not being an instant heal on contact. Therefore, I suggest that either it become an instant heal on contact (after travel time) or it start healing (heal over time) as soon as you cast it.
true, he is very balanced, but he has nothing that really pops out about him (jack of all trades)
I'd prefer he have some actual identity over being a generic jack of all trades. Nekros has his shadows, titania can fly, hybroids tentacles ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) , basically something to call his own, I was thinking something like sprouting a big tree that grants buffs for allies and status effects on enemies
-
I think making hallowed ground a channeled radius around oberon has been suggested a few times, makes sense too, like he is blessing the ground around him as he walks

They won't buff every companion to accumulate more loot because statistically they would be the reducing overall sales of resources from the store.
the game already incentivises you to farm in game itself rather than buying from the store. In fact they WANT you to farm the resources out yourself as I believe was stated at one point.
If you want evidence look at the overpriced resources in the store vs the abilities that make farming easier (desecrate, pilfering swarm, etc) they clearly made it worth more your while to actually farm it

It went from 10-12 at maxed to 5, thats halved -_-
click the link I posted in there bro (Vacuum 5m vs 12m - A visual nerf presentation)
I thought the same way until I read that post

My theory on why vacuum was nerfed is as follows.
Prime access is due for a Sentinel - we have not had one for a while.
Current carrier use means everyone will declare a new prime Sentinel to be mastery fodder - making it unattractive to purchase.
Nerf carrier + buff other sentinels = no longer a problem.
Now the new prime access will be more attractive.
(Deathcube prime or Shade prime -> commence speculation - I''m on the Deathcube side.)
This seems like pretty valid reasoning (I too hope for Gamecube prime)
Though since vacuum is no longer exclusive to carrier, it is instead vacuum itself getting nerfed (A sentinel mod)
Wouldn't it be in their best interest to not nerf vacuum as to make a new prime sentinel as appealing as possible?

No, not pointless. In the context of playing the game effectively and evidently... You don't NEED vacuum.
1. You don't need the extra loot, you most likely have an excess of resources anyway. You can play without it and still get tons of resources without going out of your way to grab it
2. Health and energy orbs are not consistent enough to be truly a game changer. If you have an energy hungry frame, energy pads are far more efficient. In fact, a huras is far more efficient as they actually create drops for you instead of renting in rng. On top of that, without vacuum, it's not really that hard to grab the random orb on your own.
So no, you don't need vacuum. Not anymore than you need the utility of any other companion.
Again, you don't NEED anything, everything you acquire you acquire because you WANT it. That goes for the weapons you create, the color schemes you use for your warframes, everything past the starting gear as those were given to you because you NEEDED it to start the game.
You bring up the context of playing the game effectively. Vacuum is the most effective way of doing so as evidenced by the fact everyone uses it. Across all games the most effective method is the most used.
1. Its not "extra" loot, its loot you or your group farmed and earned, vacuum allowed you to pick it all up quickly and efficiently, a massive QoL change that everyone enjoyed. I may not need the loot, but I sure as hell want it
2. I'm not sure what your point is here, you bring up energy pads which are created by that "extra" loot which you said is irrelevant. As for ammo/orbs, its very efficient to use vacuum as it doesn't interrupt the flow of gameplay for you to pick it up
If you are so concerned with what the players NEED instead of what they WANT then leave the conversation, stand in your orbiter with your starter gear, because anything else is irrelevant because it is not needed.

You don't NEED anything in this game aside from the starting gear.
What you just said is pointless

Will you people PLEASE stop over exaggerating on this -_- its just halved the range, its not like its become totally useless. And for those, like me who never liked Carrier to begin with, this it realy doesn't matter anyway. just further encourages players to try out different sentinals than just some floating tear drop with lousy aim and a shot gun. halving it was probably an attempt to keep things balanced within the game, we'll probably find out in this weeks dev. stream or, even sooner, this weeks prime time. so please stop all the negativity and rejoice in the fact that the reign of carrier is over.
The range wasn't just halved.
Like I said, group 2 would be ok with it, while group 1 would be nettled
If vacuum was made universal there would already be incentive to try out more sentinels. Nerfing vacuum thus would be both pointless and those who prefered carrier and vacuum how they were would be given the short end of the stick. Making all types of players happy would be best course of action

Just now, Magnulast said:
1: Because lag makes another player possibly hog materials.
2: Encouraging you know, movement
It would actually discourage movement.
You could either zip around like a manifestation of Sanic, killing enemies and not missing resources, or kill something, slow down a bit to get the resource, then go back to what you were doing
Continuously moving not missing anything > stopping/slowing down whenever a resource drops

It's going from 12m to 5m. That is not 1/6th. 1/6th would be 2m, not 5.
@Dizzle22 we are of equal minds you and I

Tons of times it has been suggested to just allow vacuum to be a mod across all companions or atleast sentinels. DE did that, but nerfed the range to 1/6th of its current one.
Why go the extra mile in nerfing it? Whats the point? Why put more time into such a simple and mundane change?
There are three groups of players from what i've seen : 1) Players who exclusively use carrier because of its vacuum 2) Players who dont care for vacuum enough to choose carrier over other sentinels 3) Players who just use whatever
If you made vacuum universal, and gave carrier a new passive to compensate : All 3 groups would go home happy, as they all would get something from it
If you made vacuum universal, nerfed it, and gave carrier a new passive to compensate : Group 2 and 3 would be just fine with it, group 1 would be nettled, because the one thing they used carrier for just got nerfed without them asking for it
Why not go with the path that satisfies all 3 groups? If all 3 groups were totally satisfied you wouldn't be seeing the storm of vacuum posts, its clear a wrong decision was made

I've been playing for over a year now, when I first started playing it seemed there was a limitless amount of things to do. Now, I find myself just logging in every while to collect the login reward.
I got all the primes I want, all the weapons I want. All maxed out with two or more forma but nothing to really use them on. Yeah sure I could wait 40 mins into a survival to actually get some enemies worth a 3 forma Sancti Tigris, but besides how boring that sounds waiting around for so long for enemies of that caliber to show up, there is no reward in it.
Sorties, meant to be endgame content have trash rewards (Wraith twin vipers, really?)
This game needs some high level nodes, but in a different solar system entirely. A place where only the skilled and the maxed out players can survive in. With a new solar system to work in, the options could be limitless. New Warframes exclusive to it, new enemy factions maybe, just about anything.

it's better cuz it's mastery rank 13... scindo prime is like mastery rank 6... stop complaining and try to understand that not everyone is instantly going to be able to use these weapons right away so they SHOULD be stronger so that when they finally CAN use them they actually FEEL like they got something awesome and powerful for their hard work and not just a different version of the same old weapon they were already using. get out of your narrow minded bubble and look at the game as a whole before crying that one thing is stronger than another >_> ppl like you are why we can't have nice things.
Though you call me narrow minded you fail to realize that MR as a basis of power is VERY inconsistent.
Broken War is a free mr3 weapon that outclasses Dakra Prime, a mr6 weapon that you either farmed or purchased.
Dragon Nikana, a MR8 weapon is outclassed by Nikana prime, a MR0 weapon. Though the amount of actual farming is debateable its clear the Dragon Nikana takes a whole lot more time to obtain.
The reason we cant have nice things is because power creep eventually leaves the nice things in the dust.

Now Scindo Prime and War.
First off Scindo and War are both farmed weapons, you put around the same work depending on rng to aquire them.
Second, War is not a complete upgrade due to the fact war does impact, and scindo prime does slash. So one is better for different situations.
Scindo prime and Galatine prime would be a better comparison

question in the title, I could never figure out as to why

have you even played mesa? giving her unrestricted movement would be completely broken, she already doesn't need to move to obliterate everything in whatever general direction you're "aiming", the removal of the total aoe aimbot she used to have doesn't matter at all with how much damage she can do now, also I see plenty of mesas in pubs
Of course I've played Mesa, pre-rework and post. I distinctively remember her aim focusing down to a certain point, forcing you to aim very similar to other weapons after prolonged use.
Okay now lets be honest here an aimbot is the most efficient thing you could have in any game period. Combining that with movement would be broken. Giving her movement now would leave her with her with high damage at the cost of high energy consumption, add in the fact you have to aim and that sounds pretty balanced to me. If movement would be so OP limit it to running. no sliding, bullet jumps, etc.
What frame have you tried excessively hard to enjoy, but just can't?
