  1. Hello, I am using a wired switch controller on PC, and I am having some issues with mapping. The issues are thus:
    1) My right thumbstick click input (R3) will not work at all, which at present is crouch/roll

    2) If I try to rebind anything, the changes will not stick no matter what the buttons are. I've swapped move/look, I've swapped fire/aim, nothing.

    3) When I set the controller mode to "autodetect" it will default to an xbox controller despite me using a switch controller. However, the above issues remain the same no matter what mode i'm on, whether it's autodetect or switch.

    Are there any suggestions that aren't "Get a new controller/use KB/M"?

    It's not pretentious, it's correct. The purpose of the game is to find and acquire the best, most efficient methods of killing. Devs adding more weapons is just their way of extending the lifespan of the game, by giving players more stuff to test, evaluate, and either discard or start using instead of their old gear. Players using different playstyles and weapon types are simply taking different routes to the same ultimate destination. The only outlier is stealth, and stealth gameplay in WF is so laughably bad that anyone who plays the game because of it does so out of ignorance of the existence of much better stealth games.

    The same ultimate destination of what, exactly? I feel the old saying "it's not the destination that matters, but the journey" is applicable here. If you want to take the quickest route to that destination, that's your right as a player. That route being the quickest does not invalidate all the other routes that others may find more enjoyable.

    "Devs adding more weapons is just their way of extending the lifespan of the game, by giving players more stuff to test, evaluate, and either discard or start using instead of their old gear" This part in particular strikes me, you're talking as if players defaulting to their old gear inherently factors into that ultimate quest of "They'll just end up using the most OP stuff" but what if their old gear isn't insanely OP, but stuff they just enjoy using? I'd get it if someone was complaining "OMG I can't kill this hydrolyst with (insert blatantly non-suited equipment here)" or something, but do you really think that people who just enjoy using stuff  other than the most OP stuff in ordinary scenarios are missing the point of the game entirely?

    Fair enough, allow me to amend my statement:

    If you somehow manage to die to the lich and can't spare one of your six four revives to make it go away, you've got bigger problems.

    Though I'd say if you're at a point where you can engage with the lich system, which consists of missions level 50+, and you're not running two sets of at least some dirt-cheap arcane, you're doing it wrong. Some arcanes, such as Arcane Deflection, can be bought for 1p, meaning that two full sets cost as much as a potato. If you're running level 50+ missions and can't afford that, you've got bigger problems.

    Oh, and there's no such thing as "abuse". Yes, I do use what you would probably consider OP meta gear. This is a game about figuring out and obtaining a loadout that allows you to kill as quickly and efficiently as possible, so if you don't use the strongest stuff available to you, you're doing it wrong.

    It is very pretentious of you to presume that the purpose of the game to you is the same for everyone. If the game was about simply trying to kill as quickly as possible, then the devs would just leave stuff as it is since it's already known what the best stuff. The devs wouldn't be introducing new weapons and warframes for variety's sake. 

    Some people like the way it feels to stealth their way through a mission. Some people like melee weapons. Some people like guns. Some people like abilities. Everyone has their own way to play the game, and while I agree in this instance that it's not "abuse" to use OP stuff since your way is just another way that some people like to play the game, you telling others that their way of playing is wrong is the very same thing you're upset at the guy accusing you of abuse about, and it's a poor excuse to defend your way of playing.

     

    Also, RE: rivens and how their prices fluctuate, there seems to be 2 sides here, one being "You should have known what you were getting into" and "DE needs to handle them better." IMO, these do not have to be mutually exclusive things; while there are certainly things that DE could do handle riven changes better, that being true does not absolve the OP or anyone else of any responsibility for having a riven that gets tanked. Whether or not you agree with the rules, the rules are there and spelled out plainly for all to see, shifting all of the blame onto DE is irresponsible. That's like going to a used car salesman that you know for a fact has a crappy reputation, buying a car, then crying foul when the car goes kaput. Yes, it is not a good thing that the salesman has done, but if you did the thing anyway then you are acknowledge the risks of doing so and deciding consciously that it's worth it to you. You can't not have at least SOME responsibility when you end up on the losing end of that deal.

  4. Hello all, I know rivens are a weird thing to price, but even if you could tell me if they're any good that would be helpful as I'm unsure of what to look for exactly. The 2 I need pricing on are:
    Lex: +45.6% Heat damage, +23% damage to Infested, +45% cold damage, -36.2% Flight Speed

    Lanka: +103.1% Crit damage, +2.3 Punch Through, +81.8% Elec damage

    I know they aren't "god rolls" but I know the lanka has high crit chance and the lex has high status chance so I'm hoping they're worth at least something. Thanks!
