TBH I'm a filthy casual so I literally only ever use Ember's 4 (and occasionally her 1 for breaking those hidden crates in the Orokin ceiling dome things). Which strikes me as... probably not the intended way to play? But there's already so much to pay attention to in Warframe and I'm bad at the mathy optimization stuff so when they started going on about managing this meter I just gave up. I still use her for everything, but that's because she's my most developed/forma'd frame either way, and her 4 makes a good okay "oh crap" button, and I'm fundamentally a creature of habit. I'm still sad they changed her passive. Not for gameplay reasons, because quite frankly I don't understand those very well, but because "gains energy when on fire" is METAL AS HELL. I mean, imagine you're some Corpus grunt trapped in a dead end by debris from an explosion, hoping the Warframe that killed all your buddies isn't going to get you next. You think you're relatively safe because even though you're surrounded by flames and you can't get out, that means the Warframe can't get in, right? And then you see it look straight at you and deliberately step into the fire. And not only does it not seem at all hurt, it's actively getting stronger. That's way scarier and way cooler story-wise than... I can't even remember what it does now, a conditional power strength buff or something, IDK. It definitely doesn't change my behavior like the original did. I basically ignore it because it doesn't do anything a mod can't do. (Oberon had the same thing happen. His passive used to be that wild animals within range would be neutral/allied to him, which granted was back when that just meant the feral kubrows and kavats in the Earth/Orokin levels, but can you imagine how cool that could be in an open world environment? It was unique, it was on-theme, it fundamentally changed how I interacted with the game... and now it's just a companion buff, which stacks with the other companion buffs. Bleh.) Agreed about the directional LOS thing, though. It would make sense for, like, Chroma, as a dragon breathing fire, but Ember? Why would fire only go in one direction? However, I think it could still work with a 360 LOS limitation. Think of the center of an explosion, or a light: if something's in the way, it casts a shadow on whatever's behind it. If there's no direct path from Ember to the target, it makes sense that she can't magically set it on fire, but it's not like she's got a cone on her head like a dog after surgery. Besides which LOS barely works as intended. Whether or not enemies behind a wall get hit seems to be basically random, leaning to "when in doubt, yes". I mean, I'm in favor of that, because it makes it way easier, but it's not really in the spirit of the thing, is it.

I was disappointed to buy a decoration literally called "Spotlight (Ostron)" only to discover that it did not, in fact, provide any light whatsoever. So that was a waste of platinum. :/ If it was, like, a console screen or fireflies or something, I'd understand, but... it's in the name... it has one job...!

Ooh, nice trick, thanks!

Yeah, plus if the name is something like, I dunno, "Harbinger's Fury" or whatever, that's not much help if I don't already know what it does. Thanks for the answer, I thought I was missing something obvious but I guess... not?

This is such a dumb question, I've been playing this for years, but I cannot find the answer anywhere. The little symbols above the health/shield bar, that show your status effects like bleeding or +20% crit chance, or whatever: how in the @%&# do I see what those are? I can't mouse over it while playing and they go away when I hit pause. Am I really supposed to memorize several dozen tiny symbols so I know them on sight? Because if it hasn't happened by now, it ain't gonna.

I am in awe of both the scale and quality of this project. Could I request Devon Cole's "W.I.T.C.H."? https://youtu.be/E9oazB7lWRw (warning, flashes dark and light rapidly - less flashy version here: https://youtu.be/7Las1IKlyn0 ) I'm not sure if the first two lines of the chorus (0:20-0:27)(ish) will fit but I rather think it sounds a bit Mandachord-y already. Apologies if someone has already suggested this; the search function doesn't seem to be willing to cooperate. Thank you for your work!
