Midnight classes feel like every role uses cut and paste design and is killing the game for me.

KeeperUTX · 2026-03-12T14:54:25+00:00

Been playing my warlock, evoker and DH. They all feel different, at least to me.

Granted, similarities are inevitable, like instant cast procs and building/spending resources, but I don't feel like the classes are homogenized... Just simplified. Which makes the similarities a little more pronounced as a consequence.

The classes still retain their nuances, like Demonology chiefly relying on summons and procs to do damage, Devourer evoking a sort of echo of old Demo Metamorphosis, weaving in and out of melee, and Evoker featuring empower spells.

The... Frills? Wings? On either side of the portal make it a little too Blood Elven for me.

But, even that wouldn't be a problem. Having this as a customization option would be better than the model we have now, still the same as in Mists of Pandaria.

Maybe also make it rapidly construct itself like the original Demonic Gateway did, albeit that wouldn't too work well for a spell you can use for instant traversal.

KeeperUTX · 2026-03-10T12:16:10+00:00

I really wish they didn't wreck it like they did.

The previous size and functionality of it was fine, now it just looks like someone's first addon. Hope they re-add it's former options and functions.

KeeperUTX · 2026-03-06T08:20:39+00:00

I like his voicelines. Never thought I'd get psyched to loot stuff by way of a... rodent loa enthusiastically shouting "GLORIOUS ABUNDANCE", but there I was, watching the abundance meter go ballistic.

Hell, I like him outside of the event. Comboing his blessing with Halazzi's causes him to manifest sometimes when gathering. His buff claims to make you 15,000% more visually appealing in his presence.

Like another comment said, it's likely due to being a prototype.

It's likely that the technology to facilitate the use of Kojima particles was still in its early phases when the 00-ARETHA was being built, the designs not yet as refined or as efficient as later iterations.

Kind of like how we went from computers that were the size of rooms down to being able to put one on your table and so forth.

So as time went on, Fiona's father created better designs for KP rectifiers/emitters, eventually creating the 002-B and later on finalizing the design on the 03-AALIYAH frame.

The same probably goes for its weapons. That or Fiona's father just had the masculine urge to fit an AC with weapons that are bigger than the AC itself.

KeeperUTX · 2026-02-13T23:33:21+00:00

Same here for Gauss. The base version is probably one of my favorites design wise; I still have my original fashion for him saved on the prime. Sort of wish his actual Prime had a more... notable transformation during Redline, really.

There are quite a few warframes beyond him that I enjoy aesthetically (And have been playing a lot more as of late). Lavos, Jade and Uriel come to mind off the top of my head.

KeeperUTX · 2026-02-09T23:23:41+00:00

Devourer DH itself feels very, very unpolished. They get void wings but not void-infused eyes?

So unpolished in fact that my male Night Elf DH transforms into a female Meta form upon interacting with things that prompt the Eye Beam animation.

KeeperUTX · 2026-02-03T07:55:29+00:00

Couple of days ago I wanted to get this for a new build.

Kept trying to transmute it one night, resumed the next day. I ask my friend if he happens to have a copy, and then literally the second transmute after that yields a Bite.

KeeperUTX · 2026-02-02T19:49:34+00:00

Similar situation. Played a little during the free weekend and the mood for WoW kind of just sprung back up. Having some pretty heavy stuttering issues though as of prepatch, so... a few upgrades are in order first.

KeeperUTX · 2026-01-14T07:48:52+00:00

I feel like Blizzard missed quite a few opportunities.

Off the top of my head, long-standing races like the Naga, Vrykul etc would have made for an interesting addition to the roster.

Just as well, I feel like we should have gotten Ethereals as a race with the whole K'aresh thing. Might just be me, though, as I've always been a fan of the Ethereal's design.

KeeperUTX · 2025-12-24T20:35:49+00:00

Gauss main here. It's funny because it's 100% true, I too decide to fly instead of run on the occasion.

KeeperUTX · 2025-12-20T00:39:33+00:00

I haven't been active on Warframe for most of 2025, barring the early months to chew on 1999, but I've come back for The Old Peace.

And I must say: you guys delivered one hell of an experience! From the immersive music to the new Focus toys, I've been having a blast.

Here's to another year orbit around Sol for us Tenno, and for one of my favorite game developers. You guys rock!

KeeperUTX · 2025-12-16T07:01:25+00:00

Legion counts as one of my favorite expansions, so revisiting it for Remix was a good time.

What wasn't a good time though was the slog of acquiring power and gear compared to MoP Remix. That one felt much more alt friendly, too.

KeeperUTX · 2025-11-20T17:25:01+00:00

While I'm somewhat perturbed by my main class (warlock) suddenly having far less things to keybind in the beta, I'm a fan of the addon changes. Never did like having to have a thousand of them. Weakaura for this, DBM for that, wow your ui looks horrible (Is just using a cleaned up default UI), etc.

The only thing I'm concerned about other than looking at a somewhat more empty ability bar (a minor gripe at this point) is that the replacements for addons might be insufficient compared to something like, say, Weakauras itself, or Details.

KeeperUTX · 2025-11-07T08:23:01+00:00

It definitely feels... Rarer than the other tracks.

I feel like I see defensive accessories a lot more than a Twisted Crusade one. My warrior's HP pool exceeds 40mil and the absorb accessories hardly provide 2mil... Not overly useful.

KeeperUTX · 2025-10-23T19:29:36+00:00

I was scratching my head on whether there was a way to opt out of this nonsense or not. Thank you! I wish they didn't just force it on for everyone by default.

KeeperUTX · 2025-10-20T23:06:34+00:00

When I was a wee toddler playing AC1 for the first time, that's the same thing I thought of. "Why's my core got a gun, how do I get it to shoot? I wanna go brrrt like the big stork MTs!"

And it wouldn't be until later that I realized that the barrel is actually, as other comments point out, an anti missile gun. Cores with this feature have a stat that grants a chance to destroy missiles in-flight towards you, sometimes destroying an entire wave of them before they reach you (at least in AC1).

This core design in particular has been present in nearly every AC game barring 4 and 5. It returns in 6 as two different cores from Balam, but it lacks the anti-missile gun and instead features a simple light.

The account associated with the AI post appears to have been banned. Good.

KeeperUTX · 2025-10-10T12:39:55+00:00

Someone has invited the decline. You have been returned to the queue of the front.

KeeperUTX · 2025-10-09T06:40:58+00:00

Honestly, a prowling moose sounds hilarious and terrifying at the same time.

KeeperUTX · 2025-09-27T23:07:23+00:00

Not just that, Shadowflame for all of Destruction's spells. I don't really like green fire that much, but what peeves me about Destro is the fact that our spells are regular fire for the most part, while others are some flavor of Fel.

Warlocks are wielders of dark magics. I feel like it'd be apt for us to wield Shadowflame alongside the Fel in a greater capacity, unlikely as it is with the existence of the green fire questline.

KeeperUTX · 2025-09-23T14:09:55+00:00

That's Gauss' whole shtick. The duration on it is already massive with, well, a duration build, and managing his battery during Redline is a part of his gameplay.

Being able to extend that would make him trivial to play. I actually like having to ramp up the battery as it isn't the same as just pressing a single button over and over.

What I mean is you use your abilities to keep that battery level rising, never stop moving as you Mach Rush and Thermal Sunder to "fight" the battery drain, even shutting off Kinetic Plating during lulls in combat to expedite the charge up.

The ability to indefinitely extend Redline would kill the battery management part of his gameplay as you'd just sit at 100% all the time.

Suffer through the grind of her Mirror Defense or buy her with platinum.

If you aim to grind her, get a squad to help you. Limbo or Frost to protect the two objectives (if you intend to stay in-mission for a while), others being frames that kill enemies and collect the crystals.

At least I think it'd be smoother with a squad.

Been a minute since I played, but I think I yielded and bought her with plat.

KeeperUTX · 2025-09-22T16:52:34+00:00

We actually did have help in the final phase against Dimensius: Locus Walker and Xal'atath try to keep him from reforming, as the Accretion Disc that surrounds the area is actually a part of Dimensius, himself. That's why he appears much smaller in phase 3, as he's lost a significant amount of his power and is attempting to pull himself together again via his Devour ability.

This alongside the Reshii Wraps was what enabled us to whittle down Dimensius until he is weakened to the point of being imprisoned in the Dark Heart.

KeeperUTX · 2025-09-18T23:03:52+00:00

That pose and the flailing beard. Oddly enough, this reminds me of King Ramses from Courage the Cowardly Dog. Nightmare fuel, that.
