  1. Two 'frames, one-never mind.

     

    *i_understood_that_reference.gif*

     

    Hmmmm, so the new warframe shifts among 3 forms?  Initially thought it's more of a 1-split-into-two thing and the ai can control one of them.  Nonetheless, interesting....

     

    Gotta give it to DE with the facebook spam.  The time and effort put into those teaser sites (that are hella confusing to navigate btw) that they kept posting on fb... hard to stay away~

  2. Started working on this almost a year ago.  Poor thing's just sitting there for half a year now collecting dust.  Probably never going to really finish it, so well, this seems as good a chance as any to show her around.

    PS. Totally fits the theme.  First thing a generic, mass-produced Excal Tenno sees as he wakes from cryo sleep?  Works for me.  Sorry, Excalibur#0041952, you will never be as awesome as her.  Blame the Lotus.

  3. solar rails?  that's the... inter-guild competition thing that's introduced recently eh?  does seem kinda odd and out of place in a game that's supposedly about "the few, the proud, the near-extinct-ancient-space-ninja-samurais", having petty squabbles between guilds and all.

     

    but de has always thought of the term "solar rails" and "dark sector" (see alpha trailer/tech demo for original dark sector"), so i guess in a way it's completing the circle for them.  closing the wound as they put it themselves.

     

    glad i'll have something completely uninteresting to me personally and pointless as a soloer, waiting for me to return to, soon as i get bored of running adventure mode on torment 6 (hah, that'll be a while).

  4. Just realized something... the proto-excel isn't actually the original suit. 

     

    Is there a chance we'd have another skin or model or standalone warframe that looks like the proto-proto-excel, ie. the Dark Sector original concept suit(s)?  But with updated polycount and texture of course.  You can even make it switch between the stealth mode and "power" mode or whatever. 

     

    I'd buy THAT for a dollar and/or the rest of my plat.

  5. Anything to stop the further primification of the game.  Anything.

     

    On a serious note, they will probably just make another series of alternates (be them skins or standalone frames) for each existing and future warframe.  It costs a lot less development time and designer brainpower to come up with an alternate version of a warframe than creating a brand new one after all, and people seem to treat each new prime as a new warframe anyways, so why not?

  6. Finally adding actual skins that are purely obtainable through $$$.  Could it be that DE has finally figured out the key to F2P success?!?!?!

     

    Though having to finally confirm the "connection" between Dark Sector and Warframe must've been painful for some at DE.

     

    Imagine you came up with a cool story about a super cool magical space unicorn.  Then your publisher decides 1) magic 2) space and 3) unicorns are not going to sell, so they make you change your story to one about a WWI French warhorse who live in the trenches, who just happens to have a powerful virus-infused sneeze that it uses to defeat the Germans.

     

    Then one day, you finally can make the story you've always wanted to tell, about the awesome unicorn.  With Magic.  And in SPACE.  And people actually LIKE that story.

     

    And you're happy.

     

    But then your fans start to demand a lore connection between your magical space unicorn and the French warhorse.

     

    So, after months of diverting the question, you finally give in and give an official nod at the connection between the two stories:  the warhorse turned out to be the ancestor of the unicorn... a PROTO-UNICORN of sorts.

     

    Imagine the pain.

  7. Too Op, Nerf Plz

     

    Stop nerfing everything!  Just buff everything else :3

     

    Day 49: 『Make EVERYTHING Prime』
    ZyVrvMW.png
    Comic contest entry!  Also serves as a doodle!  Yay!
     
    Was going to draw connection between:
    1) running out of stuff to put in last panel -> makes everything prime 
    vs 
    2) running out of game content -> makes everything prime.
     
    But that is a bit too negative and I've been quite a negative nancy around here lately.  So I didn't mention it.
     
    Oh wait :X
  8. I might be wrong on this but I thought hipsters are people who go against mainstream ideas. Starcraft 2 has been losing popularity for awhile and many people have been converting to other games. Starcraft 1 was one of my favorite games growing up and sc2 just added too much BS into the game and is imbalanced at all levels of play.

     

    LAWL i kid i kid.  I just use term in a sense for "I liked sc before sc2 came out".  Doesn't really work, since sc2 isn't mainstream anymore, since nobody gives a hoot about it at this point + bw was way bigger in Korea, though I assume we're all people living in the west here, so bw was pretty much nonexistent over here.

     

    Anyways, I enjoyed watching GSL and Dreamhack and MLG, up to slightly after HotS hit.  If you take away the nostalgia lenses for a second, you'd notice that although mechanically the game is dumbed down A LOT compared to bw, that in turn made it so the pros used their extra mechanical skills and apm on other stuff.  Kespa players like innovation excelled because of that.  

     

    But yes, the game is, by consensus, "easier" than bw.  However, I still think it could've done well as an esport, if Blizzard wasn't so pigheaded about balance-changes, making crappy maps that favor certain playstyles/races and ultimately trying to run all the tournaments int he world in-house and failing.

  9. @BACON  (OMFG why won't this comp let me quote :(((()

     

    What a hipster nerd.

     

    Nobody likes a hipster nerd man.  Nobody.

     

    On a serious note, sc2 is a good game, but come out too late.  If it came out 5 years after sc:bw, it would've had a lot better chance at a smooth transition in siphoning bw players into sc2.

     

    Too Little, Too Late.  seems to be Blizzard's motto these days.  (see: diablo 3, heroes of the storm)

  10. @Rahu

     

    Sorry, super slow here T_T 

     

    Started playing around Ember genderchange, stopped really playing after Zyphr dropped.  From one bird patch to another bird patch.  Was a good run I suppose XD

     

    Oh yeah I forgot electric shield...  that WOULD be a shame, but logical seeing the way they're moving things.

  11. Agreed. SOMEBODY needs to keep the spice flowing!

     

    Down to every 3 weeks now.  Oh the downward spiral.

     

    In my defense, it's a bit difficult to come up with stuff when your playtime consists of logging on once a day to get the daily reward + empty the harvesters.  LUL.

     

    Day 48: 『"i called mid first"』
    sWwLhHu.png
    The most OP champion ever to set paw on runeterra.  Easily solos bot... IN HEXAKILL.
  12. Should've stuck with 1.0.

     

    When I shoot bullets with added ice damage, I want to slow enemies. 

     

    When I shoot bullets with added electric damage, I want to shock enemies (or perhaps have the sparks jump to a nearby enemy).

     

    When I shoot bullets with added fire damage, I want to set enemies on fire (or perhaps create explosions that damage all in small radius).

     

    Giving each type of enemy certain resistance against certain elements was a fine idea.

     

    Creating convoluted armour-on-top-of-armour, resistance-on-top-of-resistance was a crappy move.
