For my money I'd do "Was anyone else hoping in the quest we would...? (spoiler)"

@Zahnny Personally, I'd recommend changing the title, as the fact that we don't play as the Vessel is a bit of a spoiler.

it's honestly the best ephemera in the game; 11/10 default for all frames and my operator

While I agree that it's helpful to take context into account and be compassionate even to people we have differences with, being homophobic is being bigoted. Regardless of where we place the blame, whenever homophobia happens, bigotry is by definition happening.

Personally, I don't see any of these downsides. I loved the story, loved the lore, loving the gameplay, loving the modes. My day 1 impression is that it's everything I could want from a Warframe update.

With respect, some of y'all are jumping at shadows. If nationalities are indeed being censored, it's not because they're offensive; nobody would ever actually think that. The reason is far more likely that real-world nations will always be a political topic thus making them a hotbed for abuse. Thus, in the name of cost-effective moderation, just don't let the names of nations be used and circumvent that issue entirely. Extremely minimal loss for a very effective gain.

The love between Albrecht and Loid is as close as you can get to text while still showing and not telling.

I really liked the twist; I can't realistically imagine a gameplay scenario that would have been better than the masterful story-telling we got.

They're large and bright and thus much easier to see. You can craft them out of other resources. You get standing from doing the missions. Everyone in your squad is collecting them for you while you passively do whatever you want in your mission. I think if you ignore collecting them entirely you'll end up with more than enough of these resources.

I think it's important to clarify that this simulation leaves out the part where you are having fun playing a game you enjoy, reducing the experience of farming in Warframe to a waiting/endurance game solely focused on rewards. I see so many Tenno focusing so intensely on the destination of "getting every last thing" that they add an unnecessary layer of gloom to their experience. They think, "I will have to play so much before I have all the things," and by focusing on that end goal they turn a game they play for leisure into work. It's not an unreasonable way to think, but it is a self-sabotaging one. So if you find yourself thinking like this, my genuine heartfelt advice is to take a step back and do some introspection about your relationship with Warframe. Why do you play? What do you enjoy about it? We all get burned out from time-to-time, and we all periodically lose sight of what truly feeds us. Sometimes taking a few minutes to break from our habits and double-check our trajectory can make all the difference in the world. Wishing you the best, Tenno.

This has to be a joke post.

I saw this in my notifications: I skimmed and then scanned the thread, looking to see what might have been there, but I couldn't find anything. I can't read Korean(?) so I basically just looked for links and hyperlinks, and hovered over them all to see if they linked to a bug post that I had made, etc. I couldn't find anything that seemed relevant. I wondered if maybe this was something that got broadcast to everyone, but it sounds like that's not the case. Can anyone help me understand what "linked to your content" means? EDIT: forgot to include the link

Generally speaking I've been playing: Mag Prime (3=Gloom) Paris Prime Incarnon / Torid Incarnon / Braton Incarnon Kunai Incarnon Bo Incarnon / Ack & Brunt Incarnon / Innodem Zenurik Dethcube Prime Though they're really not my focus, there are a few synergies here: When Mag needs headshots to charge Incarnon, just aim your weapon at the top of her Magnetize bubble. Pull sets up groups of enemies for ground finishers, which Innodem is great for with its large range and 0.9 follow-through. But other than that, these are just all the toys I love playing with. Mag really hits the sweet spot where fun meets power for me. Pull is the most delightful ability in the game, Magnetize is so practical, and with its augment Crush solves 99% of the problems I could conceivably have. Kunai Incarnon is hands-down my favorite secondary. It feels so good, it charges so fast, and it hits so hard. Bo Prime's attack sound effects gently target the pleasure centers in my brain. Mag, Paris, Kunai, and Bo were my starter gear, so it feels nice to have it be effective. I've come so far in my Warframe journey, and it's nice that these initial tools have wrapped around so they can come with me on it.

oooooooooo! this will be interesting! very much looking forward to some new modding possibilities ^^

Thanks to those who added evidence to the pile! A friend of mine was also able to weigh in that their age-old Kuva pile didn't correspond to their #number, which provides enough examples to convince me that as improbable as it might be, I was simply experiencing a...[does some math]...1 in 1,000,000,000 chance outcome. Improbable, but most certainly possible!

First off, randomint(0,999) is not a viable solution, for the exact same reason as the hypothetical example you mentioned above: such a solution has a non-zero chance of assigning the same #number to two accounts with the same name. Both of these solutions would need backup methods, similar to what I mentioned in my previous reply. I also don't agree with the phrase "that much effort", because an experienced programmer can add this flourish in 5 minutes. I'm not even a great programmer and I'll do it myself right now: It's worth acknowledging that the kuva part of this took no time at all to write; the actual lift in this code is the part that ensures that the id's are distinct, which would be needed regardless of the technique being used. As for the why: because it's fun, because it's cute, because someone thought it was a neat idea. Sometimes even programmers have fun! Now, did that actually happen? I don't know. You can code anything you want, and Hence why I'm asking for data.

I didn't put this in my initial post because it was already long and complex, but I don't think the design would have been as simple as always having a 1:1 relationship between some kind of source values and a player's #number, and for the exact reasons you mentioned: such a simplistic technique would probably work for 99.99% of cases, but the possibility that there would be a case that would result in conflicting values is too prominent to ignore. Because of that, I would assume that if this is not a coincidence, that the process would first try to assign #numbers based on values, but that in the case of a conflict a backup method would be used.

By simply wondering whether an improbable situation is the result of design rather than coincidence and asking others to provide evidence that would either support or disprove that possibility?

I have been given reason to suspect that the number at the end of your name may not be random. If that sounds interesting to you, please join me for some nerdy hypotheses and detective work! Yesterday for the first time in years, I went to re-roll a Riven. And my eyes were immediately drawn to some odd things in the upper-right of my screen: The amount of Kuva I had was 691,691 The amount of platinum I had ended in 691. What made this particularly odd is that the #number that was assigned to the end of my name is 691; which is to say, on my profile screen it shows my name as Unstar#691. Because it's so improbable that all of these numbers would simultaneously align, I began to wonder whether this wasn't simply a coincidence. Personally, I suspect that the platinum part is a coincidence, since I am all but certain I've spent platinum since receiving my #number in The Great Numbering. However, I never do anything involving Kuva. The only time I can think that I would receive any Kuva would be when it is randomly rolled as a reward at the end of an Archon Hunt. Other than that, I'm not spending it and I'm not gaining it. And because of that: it is realistically possible that the amount of Kuva I possess has not changed since we were given #numbers. it is nearly 100% certain that the last 3 digits of my Kuva value are the same now as they were when I received my #number, since Archon Hunts can only reward 6000 Kuva which would not disrupt the last 3 digits. Which leads me to wonder: is it possible that for players who had accounts when The Great Numbering occurred, that the number at the end of our names is based on the amount of Kuva we had when those numbers were bestowed upon us? That's my current theory, but I clearly need more data. Which is why I come to you: I'm sure there are plenty of players like me who aren't into Rivens and haven't done any Lich/Sister content in awhile, meaning that their Kuva amounts may not have changed since The Great Numbering and thus still represent the value of Kuva owned during that time. So if you fall into that category, please share what you find with me! It could be that this is all an improbable coincidence, but I felt the desire to follow up just in case. Thanks!

OP, with respect, you are putting way too much faith in what other people are telling you. Because what you have been told simply isn't true. I want to kindly encourage you to be more critical of the information you receive, and to put more consideration into verifying that information. This is a great example of where putting our critical thinking caps on can help. Because if we think about it for a minute, it's pretty simple to deduce that this isn't the case. The majority of Warframe players are casual players who have barely scratched the surface of the game's potential. They're generally not doing huge grinds, which suggests that the majority of Warframe players haven't even unlocked a Railjack Intrinsic that's rank 9. Thus, it's highly improbable that a strategy requiring a rank 9 Railjack Intrinsic would be "mainstream". So right away, we've got significant reason to doubt what you've been told. With respect, this has the vibe of something kids would be squabbling about during recess, oblivious to the fact that everyone outside of their classroom is playing by entirely different rules. Which is to say, the overall community of Warframe simply doesn't work like this. There is no "right" way to play, and there is no set of agreed-upon guidelines as to who should be "blamed". Warframe is a game where players are given access to an overwhelming amount of power, far more than your average player needs to play effectively. Which is why, at least from what I've seen, the overall Warframe community doesn't care what other players do. Because if you're a competent Warframe player, you barely even see the players you're matched with, since most of the time you're carrying them. And it doesn't matter that you're carrying them, because with very few exceptions, it takes just as much effort to complete the mission by yourself as it does with 3 newbs trailing behind you. If you take one thing away from my post, make it this: The players who are telling you how to play and who is playing wrong don't know what they're talking about. Whether their motive is to feel better than other players who are different, or whether they're simply uninformed, don't give their naive words a home in your brain. Warframe is a video game. Play it and have fun the way you want to, and let other players have fun the way they want to. At the end of the day, it's as simple as that.

It's been quite a while since I grew weary of the male gaze Rockstar curates in its products, and if I recall properly they're also pretty vile to their employees. I would need to see changes in both arenas to even remotely care about anything they make.

I know it's not a fun answer, but the fact is at this point we don't know what he wants and can only guess.

Are you actually claiming the rewards? There's a special page you have to go to on Twitch once you've watched the stream for the required amount to get the reward, and you click a button on that page that says something like "Claim". That's my only guess.

Before this turns into a pissing contest, I'll simply say that other support frames offer both different things and those same things in different ways, and that the devil in the details of not just what they do but how they do it and to what magnitude will be important in determining what support frame any individual thinks is the best.
