[How to reproduce Ballas telepathic voice?]

Hey man

A phaser/flanger/heavy chorus on the dry vox, then apply a reverb to the main channel, you also then want to create that "reverse" type effect, you can render out the 100% wet mix reverb and offset it to begin before the actual dry unprocessed or you can do things like render out the reverb, slice sections up, reverse it and place it in front of each gap in the lines, then add a reverb / multi tap delays or whatever to kinda glue it all together.

Unless DE wanna tell us what their process was, this is just a best guess 🙂

That might explain the look on the recent picture I posted as I upgraded my video card and maxed all the settings.  It was a little more subdued on my previous video card settings which was still mostly maxed.  

Ha.  just like I was wishing Nyx Deluxe was for Ivara instead.  😄  

Not sure I saw quite as many people saying the same thing though.

It's like you didn't read what I wrote at all, or at the very least utterly failed to understand it.

You said they are/have reduced the grind, I just wondered from what planet you think recent updates is in anyway lessening the grind, the point was made "revenue streams for DE" etc etc so how come prime access is upward of 3x the price of a full retail game for cosmetics that come out every few months?

Don't kid yourself or anyone else that the grind is lessened I mean really... lessened and we should be grateful? Lets do a very quick off the top of my head recap in the past few updates

Weapon Exilus

Requiem Mods

Level 40 kuva weapons / grind to obtain + forma for mastery

new resources introduced which need farming

Those are HEAVY multilayered RNG/Timegates and this was just in the past few updates.

All I was advocating was a logical shifting of effort/skill/time/whatever. i.e. normal stuff, easier to get, prime comparatively harder. Logically tied together, showing sense of progress etc etc blah blah

You, me and everyone else know that primed are always farmed the same way and has always been so. I feel your pain and everyone's that had an hard time farming a frame but this is something that will happen with all others including Nidus, Khora, Baruuk and pretty much most of the new generation frames.

What are you advocating for exactly? For ivara to be easier to farm or for Ivara Prime to be a nightmare to get?

Just asking because even if I agree that the farming way need to be revamped, your post is a fully fledged meta complain that will disappear in the void

People seem to think I'm advocating some huge increase in grind etc, I'm purely suggesting as you say here more of a "shift in balance" as to how things are acquired making the normal easier and the prime tougher (for newer players at least?) . This is literally nothing to do with my own "bad experience" of farming, been playing since 2013 i'm very much accustomed to the grind hehe, i do long runs with friends on voice and it's really not a chore to me and if I want I can skip my grind with plat anyway.

I mean surely, it makes sense if nothing else to have the normal frame mastered before being "allowed" the prime but what else is there? Hence the discussion, maybe like someone said, you can only get the prime if you get the relics from spy vaults / fissures etc. But then there would be uproar that people couldn't breeze through the spy content so they can have a frame which can breeze through more spy content.

I'm just saying at what point does the "cater to all" start submitting to the "cater to those who earned it". For the sake of this argument the vaults would all be painfully difficult but the drop chances would be that much higher, thus rewarding effort rather than just "overcoming the odds".

And actually the way we farm primes has changed, you used to have to get to the void to unlock it to even begin to do the farming. Now it's hop in, whatever the mission, grab taxis etc, skip to the end and we wonder why player burn out, don't value anything.

  nice try. but whatever your point is, this would be the result. making it just as hard for others to come. you should wish others well, and possibly to have things in a better way than you, not the other way around, just because you had to go through the grind. 

primes, whether it is prime packs or unvaulted primes, are income source for DE, why would I not want them to get the bill so they can add more things to Warframe? 

I am above all this 'difficult to grind frame/weapon', and it was never a problem to me. I found a quick way of making plat, and what I earn, I use to degrind my game. this develops my real life trading skills too even further.

in other words, why would I respond to a problem that is created personally by a certain player upon themselves? 

Yes, that's the point lol you completely skimmed my post, and my reply, and it shows.

I'm talking about inherent worth to the prime. Aside from mastery why would you get the normal version?

I don't want to make life miserable for other players, what an insane thing to say lol

The reason you don't have an answer to my question is because it doesn't suit you to be proven wrong even when zero mal-intent is there.

So once again, WHY should the primes be easier to obtain than their normal version? Simple question, you've got plenty of answers, just not this one?

Hell no. Why do you think grind exists in WF? Because it's fun? No, precisely the opposite, because it's not fun at all and therefore you have an incentive to skip it and just buy the thing you're after with money. That's the whole idea, that's WF's business model, that's how the game and the studio stay afloat. Why are some primes easier to obtain than their base versions? Because they came out later. Why do you think DE made Ivara, Equinox, and others so difficult tedious to obtain? Because it made the game more fun? No, because they needed money, so they upped the grind to get more people to pay to avoid it. The game has grown since then, the studio is doing better financially, so they don't need to squeeze their players so hard and don't need to put so much of that unfun, pay-to-skip grind into the game. Be thankful for that. Be thankful that they mellow that stuff out over time, that they've not given in to greed and continued to squeeze their players like they had to in the past. The game's better for it.

Really? You honestly think the new forma sink (kuva weapon) and new resources (railjack) "cos reasons" enhance the fun for people? What about the requirem packs etcYou honestly think they've let up on squeezing people for currency on the grind?

Grind as a word implies lack of fun, farming is a part of the game if you want to play free. If you didn't enjoy it you wouldn't do it, simple. EIther greed/gotta-have-it-all is getting to you, or you're enjoying it, but i don't believe a majority of people who play WF are that sadistic 🙂

I'm be tempted to call white knight if the post wasn't so misinformed. Feel free to read the rest of the forum to get an idea of what the community feels about the layers upon layers of RNG

YES! "back in the day" there was less grind, hell we had uproar when weapons were used as crafting components for other weapons but now that's the normal along with other multilayered grinds.

so, essentially, you want others, including new players, to have it as difficult or grindy as you did? that is noble, tenno. congrats

I think yourself and many others who assume i want more grind couldn't be more wrong.

The point wasn't about increasing the grind it was about creating inherent worth back to the primes so that we have a desire to farm them and they get some of their status back and so we don't just "skip to the good bits".

I tell ya what, why don't you explain WHY a prime frame should be easier to obtain than it's normal counterpart? Add some discussion rather than just a liberal dose of sodium chloride.

Making the primes require the normals to have been mastered or used in the crafting etc just seems like common sense and a logical sense of progression.

 

[Another prime which negates the grind of it's original?]

Just wanted to open up a discussion, seems as there is some hype that it might be Ivara Prime coming next and I just wanted to see what others felt about another prime which essentially will be easier to obtain than it's normal counterpart?

So far it's basically easier to go the prime route on many frames now (nekky, mesa, limbo, atlas etc), which certainly as a clan leader who wants to see people actually play the game. It just makes it difficult to justify getting the normal frames and then appreciate the illustrious prime upgrade.

Aside from mastery which is easy to obtain (and more importantly easy to get to a rank whereby everything is usable) there's not much to justify people not "skipping to the best bit", and why wouldn't you? Part of me wants to suggest things like you have to have mastered the normal frame and use it's built form as a crafting component for the prime.... along with a MUCH larger requirement for orokin cells seeing as those have started dropping like candy for years.

Sure we can argue that getting the relics and then getting the parts etc is all grind, but it can be bypassed so much easier for a simple trading of relics or other parts and either way the route can be more direct and definitely more rewarding in the process.

I dunno, I guess it's me, just personally I felt this devaluing of the gameplay or previous content is beginning to get on my nerves.

I mean don't get me started on the insane grind for the original Brakk all those years ago, but instead of buffing that, we just got the kuva variant as yet more powercreep and sidestepping any effort....

Anyway, TL;DR primes are too easy to obtain?, respect for them and inherent worth has gone down?

[Rare/hard to get weapons/drops ??]

Braton Vandal, Terrible drop rate.

As mentioned War/Hate

Along with other assassins, you've got the brakk (not worth it now with the Kuva Brakk) and Detron (not so worth it with the Mara Detron)

Can I just say thanks again DE for superceding the Brakk, i mean it's not like the weapon needed some love, and we all didn't worth f*ing hard for it at the GRADIVUS event.

But it's fine, keep sticking it to the players who've been here the longest.

Personally I think high toxin on everything besides the chakkhurr which will be radiation unless you dont wanna use it for eidolon hunts.

They might scale better but the DoT ticks don't hence why it's a waste of time to assume toxin is best for gas in these scenarios.

overall Damage goes up slightly with higher Elemental Bonuses on Kuva Weapons, and if you wanted to weigh Fire at a moderate level, just pick the Radiation Weapons and then add Fire on yourself manually with Mods.
(or pick the Toxin Weapons, but the Radiation Weapons are going to generally outperform)

Does it?

Looked like the overall damage stayed the same but the bonus just offsetting the IPS values.

Not had time to do a lot of research on it, but seems to be the case

I'm not acting as anything, just calling out someone who's clearly (and massively) butthurt about a change to a weapon class they refuse to admit was working much better than intended.

You seem to have confused my post with someone who hasn't seen countless nerfs to weapons they enjoyed using.

SO what you're saying it you employ zero CC to the target when they can clearly 1-shot you

You're either admitting

a) Melee was in fact too strong

b) You don't use CC when clearly you should do

c) You're lying

Feel free to pick one, any of them will show how weighted your feable argument was.

TL;DR

Whole thread reads as 1 maybe 2 forum/keyboard warriors defending the BS melee was becoming and the rattles have gone into orbit this time.

MR27 nearly 6k hours and I'm glad this bayblading, single swipe clear the room meta has gone for the most part.

Lower players were using it to skim through the entire game then burn out and be like "meh i'll put down warframe for a while"

It's not healthy to the community, the game, the team dynamics, the potential skill involved etc

but carry on Jojo, and MAKE SURE YOU USE CAPS when you really need to emphasise a point, cos we can't hear you stamping your feet in a tantrum

[New player time gating]

From reading this thread the only thing which seems to be clear (or between the lines) is I'm betting the OP wants to rank up for an OP weapon cos he wants to cheese the star chart asap and is pissed cos he failed a mastery test and it's holding him up, which frankly should tell you a lot about where you're at in the game and perhaps rushing things isn't the right time for you.

This whole "i have to be on the same level as everyone else even though i just started" nonsense, is just that, nonsense.

Normal players are doing other things than staring at a timer for their next rank, or y'know practising and not failing in the first place...

But, with all that being said I'm sure the job got completed that much quicker from coming onto the forums to have a rant 🙂
