  1. Running anything but Amesha is already pretty pointless in Railjack as the tiny movespeed difference Itzal offers is not worth giving up the only Archwing with decent survivability, the only reason to run Itzal these days that I can think of is quick loot collection during Eidolon hunts. Course that's still better than Odonata which is basically only useful for Fomorian and Jordas Golem, and Elytron, which is, well, I guess it's the fastest at clearing a few nodes on the starchart? Really since they changed Itzal's 1, there's almost no reason to use it, as they often do, they tried to increase diversity by nerfing the popular choice, which actually leads to less diversity a lot of the time. I could be wrong, but I'd bet if we could see Archwing usage stats in those yearly usage statistics they share, they'd have been something like, 75% Itzal, 20% Amesha, 5% everything else, and after the Itzal/teleport changes, it's probably 85% Amesha, 10% Itzal, 5% everything else, or something to that effect.
  2. People think the skins look cool. Most people disapprove of them being limited time. Many people wish they'd offered smaller packs that targeted the skin they wanted more specifically without paying for the extras. Seems like a decent summary to me.
  3. I'm sure they meant no further response... this seemed.. obvious.
  4. "Unethical" is a bit of a soup, one could argue, assuming percentages were made available explicitly that one could know the exact chances of what they're getting. To some extent, any purchase is somewhat inexact as we don't know the game's lifespan, but even DE likely doesn't know that exactly. What we can say with a bit more confidence though, is that most people consider the practice of selling of "limited time" things to take advantage of the fear of missing them (FOMO), feels consumer unfriendly, people have different bones to pick here, but at the very least, this is mine.
  5. I agree, but some people complain about it in the hopes that the practice will change, which is also completely fine.
  6. I can't speak for everyone, but I personally am worried that if this is successful, there will be more "limited time" offers, specifically, non-cosmetic limited time things again, such as Excal Prime/Lato Prime/Skana Prime. And I never want things like that again. This feels like they could be testing the waters, and that's the last thing I want.
  7. I definitely agree that they're better than the vast majority of studios out there. (Though certainly not all, there are a few gems like Larian for example really having their time in the light at the moment.) But, this is a bad move, I think it's reasonable for there to be community backlash about it.
  8. "evil" Is subjective, but what most people can agree on is that it's a consumer unfriendly tactic. Basically noone is asking them not to monetize their game at all. Most people simply want things monetized in a consumer friendly fashion, frankly, Warframe does a better job than most, in general. This however, is a big backwards step in the worst way.
  9. Honestly, I don't mind the bundling, or the Aya inclusion, or even the low plat originally, (though I do think raising the plat does give a more reasonable value), the cosmetics were super cool, so I don't mind the idea of paying a premium for them, as long as it's cosmetic only, I'm down for that kind of monetization. But the dealbreaker here for me is the usage of FOMO again, always was annoyed that I could never obtain the founder's items, but I thought they were done with this kind of exclusivity, timed stuff like baro and vaulting is annoying but there was a rotation, and prime resurgence I thought was a great step forward along with starting to bring back primed chamber, these were great. But now once again, the whole "never to return" thing...... I just won't support anything that abuses that instinct of people, so I won't be getting anything from this collection, despite how much I really really like the skins, and even moreso the halo cosmetics.... oof, very cool, it's a shame, once again I'm missing out on something permanent I'd like.
  10. Fun is completely subjective. If your only decision point is that some people find it fun, there'd never be a reason to adjust anything, that's unrealistic. If a lot of people found him fun and he was seeing high usage rates, you'd have a fair point, but that's not the case. The devs have stated a goal of wanting more frame diversity, that means wanting underused frames to be used more, that's what we're seeking here. I've got 8,041 kills on limbo prime, with a 1.6% usage rate, a frame I barely play, I was just poking holes at the usage rate claims, they had a .5% usage rate on limbo, that's all I was referring to. I believe thrax lasers ignore the rift, and eximus damaging abilities definitely do. While limbo himself can't damage them from inside. I definitely disagree that he's been made more fun to play though that's admittedly subjective, I suspect play rate changes would likely imply that most of the community doesn't feel that way either.
  11. The argument is that other frames provide you the ability to do the same with LESS effort. Again, I don't have any issue with completing anything, and I certainly use Helminth on everything, I'm just saying, again, it's an imbalance in what's necessary to make the frame viable. I just don't have any REASON to use Limbo over other options, though admittedly Nyx, Hydroid and Atlas are probably in a worse state than Limbo, which is saying something. Nyx had a brief hurrah when her 2 could remove lich defenses easily, but I believe that was nerfed. And Hydroid's so niche it's not even a joke at this point, Spectre farming maybe, and Plague Star, and that's pretty much it... and we haven't had a Plague Star in ages. And Atlas is just a meme. Rhino/Chroma/Loki/Inaros are all mobile and invincible enough to invalidate 99% of the game's mechanics, are there better options a lot of the time? Yes, but they're more comparable to their contemporaries enough to be used comfortably. Sevagoth is very niche, quite a decent speed nuker for low-mid content, though he's no Thermal Sunder Titania. And Frost is also extremely niche but actually not completely terrible, I'd still say they're in a better state than Limbo. Any frame can perform well at level cap, especially with Helminth, it's just that some are way more effort, and more hoops to jump through to get them there, the argument is that these changes make the meta more narrow, rather than more diverse, which is generally a bad thing.
  12. I want there to be a reason to play all the frames, and Limbo Prime is your 27th most played frame according to your profile, with 702 kills, that sounds like a pacifist to me... I don't have any problems, I just don't have any reason to play Limbo over other options.... And what do you mean nothing else? It sounds like you don't play limbo at all if you think that's how it works, anything with overguard, such as Thrax or Eximus not only ignore limbo's bubble, but also his rift, and can damage him while he can't damage them back until he leaves the rift. Can it be played around? Can you easily shield gate it? Yes, but, again, why would you, when you could just play a better frame?
  13. Okay so hear me out. Before, I might choose to shoot my guns while being on Limbo, but now why would I ever choose to do that when I could be on Gara? Where before there was reason to choose either one depending on the situation.
  14. More of a balance issue, can you still do everything on CC frames? Yes, but, the effort to return ratio is lower compared to other options. One used to play CC frames over Tank frames for adding group/objective survivabiliy over personal survivability. With the way eximus are now, you're generally just more rewarded for playing a tank instead, especially if that tank can also protect the group/objective, though fortunately a lot of CC frames have other builds they can move into, But a few really get the short end of the stick here, and they weren't that grand even before.
  15. That's what's been making me stuck in aim! That's been driving me crazy, thanks for explaining exactly why it's happening, hope they fix it.
