  1. "No one expects a good humoured man or a kind woman to be good humoured or kind every day and every moment - yet they're appalled when people are trustworthy for a month or a year and then aren't for an hour or a day"

    Lotus lies to us far more frequently than year/day month/hour ratio.

  2. I feel you're missing the point I was trying to make:

     

    To lie with the intent of comforting someone as they die is not a bad thing. To lie in most other contexts, indeed at all, is unnecessary and the source of a lot of pain. Also note that lying in the 'console' context can be just as much as for the liar as the one being lied to.

     

    Lying to someone as they're about to die that they're 'going to be ok'? Not something I can fault.

     

    Lying to someone so you can hurt them and serve your own ends? Different. Blasted. Thing.

    Lying is good? Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, Pinocchio.

    Doesn't change that Lotus is a liar, nor that her reinforcements will never come for us or the deceased Mirage.

  3. No they didn't say her intentions were good. They said she was good. Don't pick and choose what you want to hear.

    Also chronic liar? The only time she has lied in lore was when she was comforting a dying friend. She actually has compassion.

    Literally this entire thread doesn't matter because DE has declared her to be a good guy.

    Good people can lie. Good people can lose trust due to those lies. I hope you are not implying that good people are incapable of lying and must always be trusted.

     

     

    Lying in the face of oblivion is human. Don't pretend it isn't.

     

    Whatever convoluted rationalization you need, it is good to see another whom accepts Lotus's lying ways.

  4. DE has said the Lotus is good. There is no "oh maybe she's evil or will turn on the Tenno" they have explicitly stated that helping the Tenno is her number 1 priority.

    These threads and speculation mean nothing when the creators of the game have said she is a good guy.

    She can mean well but still be an untrustworthy chronic liar .

  5. you raise a valid point...this is an inexcusable blunder by the lotus,that has been repeated ad nauseam

    "I tell her I won't lose her. That I have another ship on its way. She is smiling because she knows I am lying... Tenno..."

     

    Lotus's chronic lying is even in-lore.

  6. Soma Prime, Boltor Prime, Dread come to mind.

     

    I dont use it for one reason, that wierd holding your hand up animation to aim, it just looks wrong to me.

    Synoid may be OP, but playing Mega Man style is... Pure style.

     

    In fact, DE needs to make a true Mega Man buster style weapon. Hopefully with charge mechanics.

  7. Max ranged / power / efficiency Radial Javelin. Any other answer is false. Lot of players underestimate just how high level it can take you. Many more probably just lack the mods to make it work.

     

    Excalibur wasn't king of CC when Radial Blind wasn't LOS and he certainly isn't now.

    Radial Blind was really good though... Most of my newbie play was radial blind spamming melee Excalibur, I was really heart broken with the nerf. Problem though is that you NEED something reliable to melee at high level. Too easy for LOS limitation to screw you over in melee, especially as Excalibur has no other survival tools and bad stats.

     

    And if you don't melee you are just wasting the x4 multiplier. May as well use a different frame... Like Nyx.

     

     

    Excalibur's stats are crap now. Consider that Ember and Hydroid have purely superior stats. "Average," yeah right.

  8. All of these delays for the Occulus Rift are slaying me.

     

    While VR is of course great, I want to explore the possibility of using it as an alternate monitor display as well. Especially as implicit stereoscopic vision should lead to better visuals. Ever try to overlap two mirrored images by crossing your eyes? You can easily experience the illusion of greater image quality and even depth.

  9. Yeah, I was a bit surprised at lack of polarity as well considering.

     

    The community hivemind has been complaining about having too many forma for awhile now. I've always felt that more basic weapons should have more base polarities, and that "high end" or "top tier" weapons should have none.

    Too many Forma BP != Too many Forma

     

    The problem is excessive Forma BP being useless unless an advanced player spent literally months doing nothing else BUT building forma.

  10. Maybe this is DE's way of telling us that we should spend a few months just logging in to build forma. That is the only way I would get through my Forma BP stockpile anyways, and I haven't even been playing that long. (Well I have, but I am not a +1 year veteran)

     

    Either we need a way to use our excess Forma BP; like trading them in for ducats, or we need to stop getting drowned in Forma BP and given actual FORMA for T4 void missions.

     

    Really though, I am worried that if this is changed DE will just make it much more difficult for new players to get while adding Forma BP drop chances to junk like void keys.

  11. Synoid gammacor, 50p

    pros: hitscan weapon, dont need to aim individually, insanely high dps

    cons: range limitations (not really as its enough anyway)

     

    Supra

    pros: ...

    cons: non hitscan, very slow projectiles, VERY bad accuracy, bad ammo economy, wind up time, mediocre damage.

     

    lol.

    Don't forget: Supra also requires higher mastery rank!

  12. The whole anti-exploit thing with missions failing if the keyholder leaves has caused way more trouble than it's worth. It causes an instant failure if the keyholder takes longer to load, loses connection, leaves early, or even decides to stay.

    This. So this. Almost all of my losses are due to instant loss due to host failures in void.

     

    I don't understand why DE cannot end mission without mission failure when an absent host can clearly be identified as a condition.

     

    And all of this is to... Stop key exploits even as DE is throwing keys down our throat as rewards? Maybe the bigger issue is that so many players feel compelled to use key exploits in the first place due to the RNG on RNG action.

  13. Dual Cleavers with Steel Meridian mod is pretty sexy on Valkyr. Thanks to JUSTICE life restore you don't need to waste a slot on lifesteal and can dedicate Hysteria to pure utility... JUSTICE also boosts Valkyr's armor by 25% for more face tank blending.

    Dual Cleaver's high crit chance also benefits hysteria for when you are unfortunately stuck in it's duration due to reviving an ally or whatever. Jolly good all around.

     

    Really wish they swapped the duration for Warcry and Hysteria. Hysteria duration is too long, Warcry duration is too short. If Valkyr had some practical slow debuff utility she may actually have team utility beyond revive bot.

  14. You obviously haven't ever played with a decent frost while on a team with support frames that know what they're doing.

     

    Try playing T4 in a cell where every member on it knows what their role is, and what they're doing.  Go up past wave 60 to 80 on T4, maybe then we'll talk.

    You state "obviously" but have no argument. Funny how "support frames" weren't mentioned in the initial post I replied to either.

     

    If you need to take heat off the snowglobe, then you need to get a better frost on your team.

    These "support frames" wouldn't be "tak(ing) heat off the snowglobe" would they? Clearly they are not. I must be missing something really obvious here...
