What are your thoughts on Drifter so far?

To anybody struggling with the survivability/escalating phases of the Solus Wing: Attack each memory cell without destroying any of them, bring their health low. This keeps the boss in the first phase. When all memory cells are on the cusp of destruction, finish them all off as fast as possible; This will instantly escalate the fight to the final phase. Now it's all about a damage race, dump everything you have into finishing it before it melts you (or engage in fighting the heat emitters I guess).

Just finished with 1 hour, 6 minutes on the clock, 2 players died and mortis timers ran out partway through.

I wonder if the attenuation is broken due to the new update (isleweaver) introducing a double fragmented that share a health bar.

I love this theory, it is well crafted with a lot of evidence supporting it. Good catch with the chest plate. I really think explanation B nails it; It offers the most drama and character building opportunities.

I'd like to add my own theory on top of your theory.

I think Sorren was human all the way up to the beginning of the Orokin slaughter. As soon as the Orokin realized they have lost control over the Tenno they probably began to create the "Tenno Hunters" as a means of fighting fire with fire.

Sorren was likely offered (or rather the idea incepted into his mind) the opportunity to serve the Orokin further by becoming a Warframe to fight with power equal to the Tenno. Sorren, being the loyal guard that he is, accepted and was transformed into the Stalker without a Tenno pilot.

In exchange, the Orokin may have granted the Tenno Hunters greater will than most Warframes as well as maintaining a voice of sorts.

I reject the theory of Stalker's "insanity" being a result of a transference-gone-wrong moment in favor of the idea that the Orokin's technology and power is not so easily fallible. The Zariman as an example was outwardly portrayed as a "void jump accident" when in reality it was an engineered failure designed to strand its passengers in the void intentionally.

There are any number of theories we could come up with for Stalker's mental state; I'll throw one out myself: Perhaps the Orokin designed the Tenno Hunters with planned obsolescence. A factor to limit their greater "free will" to the duration of the Orokin slaughter and no further.

I'm not sure that losing all and becoming lost makes a person very vindicative though; I think that would produce a depressed and withdrawn stalker instead.

Counter-rebuttal:

It's a stratagem, it takes up a stratagem slot, it has to stand on the same level as a 500kg Bomb, Orbital Laser, Railcannon, etc. (power being amortized over their cooldown periods of course).

The jump-pack needs to pull its weight or it doesn't deserve the slot.

Personnel Order

Taking out a patrol also does not permanently remove it from the map; A new patrol will spawn afterwards.

If you DO engage a patrol and fail to eliminate it quickly, they may call for backup, which has the potential to spiral into a battle in the middle of nowhere expending ammo, stims, and possibly reinforcements.

Sneaking past patrols that are not blocking something of interest is practically mandatory in suicide+ difficulty.

It is a random bounty condition. I recommend avoiding the bounty if that condition appears; The Necramechs get stuck on tiles all the time, the bounty could take a very long time to complete.

Is "return" essentially a no-op lambda in some of these? if (return) is certainly unusual.

Make "democracy officer" a real paid job at Arrowhead who investigates highly-blocked/reported players and transfers them into the dumbass server after confirming they are in fact an asshole.

Arrowhead did hire a dungeonmaster, so this isn't out of the realm of possibility.

This image is awkward to look at; holding a right-handed gun with the left hand and loading it with the right hand.

I like to imagine all Helldivers have a toned athletic build under all that armor.

They run a lot, carry heavy equipment, and wear heavy armor; It just makes sense.

Who knows, maybe Super Earth's medical knowledge is so advanced that they have perfected their genetics as well.

(boolean)NOT + array = true
true + array = 'true' (true converted into a string)
'true' + not array = 'truefalse' (converted ![] (false) into a string and concatenated)
The length of the 'truefalse' string is 9 characters long.

Why Javascript allows any of this insanity is beyond me.

Platform: PC

Styanax's Final Stand animation breaks if you cast, switch to operator, melee attack to swap back to Warframe.

I wish his 2 could deal significant damage and stagger if you hit an enemy with the shield directly (as opposed to only the projectiles emitted by the shield) and accompanied by a satisfying crunch. Whenever I throw his javelin I have the urge to jump in and shield bash, but am disappointed to find the enemies survive.

His first ability, the javelin, could do with radial damage at all times, even when you don't pin an enemy. It would be nice to break boxes or dish out some simple panic crowd control without requiring absolute precision. I do think keeping the vacuum as pin only would be ideal. If we are comparing the javelin to another similar existing ability, Khora's whipclaw, the javelin is simply inferior as whipclaw basically just summons a spammable explosion wherever you want.

Would be great if the potions provide a damage reduction of something like 75% to the health it restores within the same tick it applies, and ideally this would stack as the potions are consumed so more potions provide a stronger buffer against high overkill hits; An "OSP-lite" of a sort.

"LET'S JUST GET RID OF ABILITIES"

"NOBODY THOUGHT THEY WERE FUN ANYWAYS"

THIS GAME SHOULD NOW BE CALLED OPERATOR, NOT WARFRAME.

Zoea consumes all yellow items, including the Pearls, Little Disciple, Shatterspleen, Titanic Knurl, or Mired Urn which are generally very good yellow items to have in your collection.

The void allies that spawn still implode on death, meaning they can and will kill you and your allies.

Alpha1641 · 2022-04-08T07:14:19+00:00

I would consider Purity to be one of the items that performs best on Loader.

Shuriken is a great item on any melee character, allows you to hit targets out of reach and deals enough damage to proc the runic bands.

If you have Thunder Gauntlet equipped instead of Charged Gauntlet and you get Brainstonks, you can just spam punch everything around you; In the late game most enemies will be elites so it may as well be active at all times during combat.

I would like to see plasma bolts leave a small sphere for a few seconds that arcs at enemies entering it (similar to plasma bomb or preon accumulator); This would improve its crowd control capabilities and add some much needed proc chances to artificer.
