Violin only has four strings, you uncultured swine. :P
Nah, but srsly, good one. :D

Yeah, I know, "RNG" and all, but let me tell you about this. Just because.
Been working at Tower II Capture missions now for a couple weeks.
Need an Orthos Prime Blade to make an Orthos Prime.
Not happening.
Yesterday and today in particular, I join up with a few groups of good dudes. I figure I play a bit more than a dozen games of just Tower II Capture today alone.
I get lucky and get a Forma Blueprint, sure. That's great. Love Formae. Need Formae.
But I also get three more Orthos Prime Handles and nine (9) Paris Prime Strings. I had one (1), I now have ten (10). I was keeping track in a little text file so I could organize my nerding, so I have "data" or something.
Digital Extremes, tell me: Why so damn many Paris Prime Strings? Match after match, Mission Complete, Paris Prime String.
If the RNG is going to be involved, I demand it generate! Generate harder!

I dig this game, but pure peer-to-peer is garbage and always will be.

Dude, don't fret over it. I was only explaining why it wasn't merely a rampant political correctness.
This is players brainstorming stuff. It's not that serious.
It's not "people are going to..." either. At least, not without a decent reason that ought to be considered.
-
I don't advocate buying Warframes at all, but it's important to note that they come with their own Slot and equipped with a Reactor.

And this is exactly what I wasn't wanting, someone without a condition complaining about how its offensive when it clearly wasn't meant to be. It's just a term that I thought might fit the infested theme.
I appologise in advance to anyone else that stumbles into this thread and finds this word offensive. If anyone else want's it taken down from the list, talk to the OP.
Let me be clear here; you don't know me and you don't know that I did in fact suffer a childhood illness. I'm old enough now that seeing questionably badass badasses with flippant disease-themed screen names and the like don't bother me anymore, but I remember a time when they did. So, to incorporate a cliche; think of the children. I posted because it struck me as inappropriate for some sick kid between hospital stays trying to play some Warframe and seeing a Carcinogenic Mire has hit the Market - remote a possibility as it is - and then seeing other folks swinging their new cancer sword around when playing in multiplayer.
To gently elaborate on the matter, the word "carcinogenic" is not offensive - it's clinical, but it is specific and describes something that can have personal gravity to someone who has been sick. When someone is playing games, it's leisure time, it's a time to unwind, maybe apply oneself to the hobby. It's definitely not somewhere someone is hot to be reminded by real or serious stuff.
You get me? You didn't do anything wrong by recommending the word. You just didn't think it through, and again, through no fault of your own; your life experience hasn't exposed you to this sort of a matter, or not enough to necessitate developing a filter or think and feel outside your own head in that sort of direction.

I want this Sentinel.
I want a name for it.
-
Let me walk you through this.
They're saying "no" without saying "no" - they're saying "unlikely" instead of "no" because they don't want to do it, they don't plan to do it, but they aren't going totally commit to even that because maybe years from now they'll find a good reason to offer that material.
But it's really probably a very gentle, loving "no" like when you wanted to stop for ice cream on the way home from practice and your parents said "maybe next time."
-
I think it's a poor way of thinking of Infested stuff in terms of carcinogenic. The Infested degenerates are a malignancy of sorts, but they are not nor do they cause malignant growth in others.
Outside of that, nobody that has had or is dealing with cancer really wants to bump into that term in their free time. What do you think a lot of the sick kids are doing, anyway? They're not quite vital enough to go out and do just anything, they're probably trying to relax and recover between treatments, probably playing games, maybe even grouping up with you here and there.
-
I think it's a pretty cool design and they should revisit it, if it's just languishing unused somewhere.
-
Wyrm is a sickly thing begging for death.
-
The game doesn't have enough items and such for the economy and trade to be robust enough to need an auction system.
The only thing it needs is a peer-to-peer trading system that doesn't involve an asset in a Clan.
-
Okay, so if you go into the Codex, and click the Sentinels section, the first Sentinel is ... not familiar to me.
It looks Shade-like, but is not Shade. It is definitely not Carrier, Dethcube, that pitiful "Please Kill Me" Wyrm, or the Djinn.
It's also not the other Sentinel floating around the rumor mill involving Corpus research in a future update.
So what is this guy? Is he an early Sentinel that was scrapped? Is he just no longer around? What's the deal?
-
But I really came here to ask something totally different.
Any sort of time table on when PS4 will have access to the Tethra's Doom event?

Void-only Mods wouldn't be a bad tree to bark up.
The enemy drops are really ho-hum in there, but some really quite decent Void-only mods wouldn't be terrible Wave rewards and such.
Basically, Credits and a handful of resources are really craptacular placeholders. We go into the Void for stuff we can't get elsewhere, or very easily elsewhere. That should be what the Void excels at. We get Credits everywhere. Wave 5, a pile of credits, that's not so bad. Wave 10, that's pushing the limits for a lot of players, a pile of credits is disheartening for them. On endless modes, Defense particularly, it really sucks to have not bailed on a Key or Blueprint piece when the next reward is a chintzy pile of credits, and then gamble on the next 5 waves.
You know what'd be more acceptable? Things like some Orokin cells. a substantial pile of components, and not limited to the regular Corrupted drops.
Maybe experiment with things like a half-hour Affinity or Credit booster.
Maybe implement that Token system people recommend, maybe on the side, so that you don't have to totally restructure everything else and tear it down for a total token system.
Maybe experiment with a single Platinum at higher waves, 15 and over. Sure, this game is Free-to-Play, and sure, the game's gotta get paid, but it still should have some mechanic that introduces Platinum into the system on its own. It'd take dozens of keys and trips to the void to accrue Platinum randomly in the Void, enough to buy much out of the market, but it'd be something.

I agree with the More Tabs thing - the Miscellaneous tab is VERY Miscellaneous.
That should definitely be split into a sort of Foundry tab with Blueprints and Parts, a Gear Tab, and a Components tab.
Definitely separating Gear or Components would be nice.
-
Could still really use this as a News item, DE! Come on! You haven't used the News thing on the PS4 in a month at LEAST.
-
Basically, the way items are named in the game makes most of the game's total inventory feel like flipping through someone else's iPod, and that person not only organizes everything by Song Title first, but not even consistently - sometimes it's by Track Number, sometimes it's by Album, sometimes by Artist. It's hard to pick through.
Everything in the game made for specific Warframes should probably be named first by Warframe model, then by its name, then by the type of the item.
Click into the Market/Warframes/Warframe Accessories and look at how it's organized. It's erratic and hard to find what you're looking for if you don't already know exactly what it is called. Some things are sensibly labeled; the second item, in fact, is perfectly named - "Ash Immortal Skin" - you know it's for Ash, you know it's his Immortal Skin, and you know it's, well, a skin. Everything should be named like this. Everything.
Even the Syandanas might do well to be named Syandana first, then the type, like Syandana Asa, Syandana Uru, Syandana Yomo, so that they're grouped together. Then the Warframe-specific models, just throw their name in front of it so that it groups with the rest of their specific items; Nekros Syandana Mortos, and Valkyr's Bonds is already perfect.
Instead of seeing Coil Mag Helmet, then later in the list Gauss Mag Helmet, start the name of the item with Mag and group them together - Mag Coil Helmet, Mag Gauss Helmet. Not Avalon Excalibur Helmet, then way down the list Pendragon Excalibur Helmet - go with Excalibur Avalon Helmet, and right behind it Excalibur Immortal Skin and Excalibur Pendragon Helmet will follow.
It makes so much sense and you should totally do this, Digital Extremes!

Farming is stupid. I play games to enjoy time I don't need to invest in important or productive things, not to waste it on game grinding.
-
I think the whole Security Laser thing is tedious and it just ends up with everyone looking like jackasses sliding through laser rave doors.
The game needs a system for gauging the players' proximity with one another and use that for setting off its anti-rushing countermeasures. The closest 3 players set the pace, and once they spread out too much - such as if one or two folks is massively outpacing the 3rd - then boom, anti-rushing countermeasures.
-
I'm fine with anti-rushing mechanics.
I went through a set of Nightmare missions the other night that were devastated by two rushers, so fast that I couldn't even get to Vay Hek before he was dead and they had already left.
Sure, I got some mods, but it felt cheap and dirty. Like their mothers.
-
I think the answer is more to do with the Mod Slots; each one has to have a certain "value" as Mod real estate - many of which do - but a number are not very competitive, especially on Warframes (I'm looking at you all, Diamond Skin, Warm Coat, Flame Repellant, Antitoxin, Insulation, Undying Will, eh you get the idea), while others are veritably essential.
Some of the problem might be in that certain Mods should have their effects spread across multiple mods; for instance, Hornet Strike and Serration are pretty much essential mods, and they can be immensely powerful for a single mod slot. Clearly a lot of effort is invested into maxing either of those Mods, but perhaps they should not have quite so many ranks, or be quite so effective, and there should be other, additional mods that supplement their effects.
Conversely, a Mod like Pressure Point fills the same niche - increasing basic damage - but it caps in 5 Ranks at 120% damage, significantly skewing the relationship between Risk and Reward by providing the Riskiest combat behavior (Melee) the least umph while the lowest Risk combat actions, long-range fire, throw some of the best Mods in the game at a much faster rate, per shot. Frankly, Pressure Point should swap places with Hornet Strike and Serration, but that's just my take on it.
But I'm a guy with a maxed Pressure Point and Spoiled Strike feeling like I'm swinging wet noodles into mobs of Infested at-level.

Mag Prime is pretty cool.
I haven't made a Frost Prime yet, but he's next on my hitlist.
Rhino Prime, I don't know this guy.
-
Here's another - if the game is too easy to all these hardcore "game is too easy" folks, why don't I see people playing on Pluto, Neptune, and Ceres more?
It's because these badasses are farming mods on the inner planets.
You know, playing easy mode with the noob peons, making short work of things way under their level, killing half of everything before the new guys can rack up some kills.
The game needs more stuff in these outer planets to incentivize play there.
What Exactly Is Ash's Role In The Game?
in Warframes
Posted
Ash is fun, but he really isn't enough of a powerhouse to offset his lack of utility.
I still think he's better than Excalibur, who only has two useful abilities (Radial Blind and Radial Javelin), and two very dubiously useful abilities (Slash Dash and the very useless Super Jump).
