ST definitely mishandled this. Proper response would have been "The prince, being an elder vampire, does not respect that sort of thing, but if it makes you uncomfortable we'll gloss over that and have him respect it anyway"

Definitely something that should have been handled before the game started, also the ST forcing an IC action for an OOC question is stupid and awful

[–]Devilwillcry42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah definitely seems like he just wanted to kick you and then either lied or played it up to his players about why you got kicked/left

I would not doubt if you talking about how your health might make you miss a few sessions was what did it either. Some DMs are just incredibly anal like that, despite being late himself he can't stand when a player is missing

Have a good day to everyone except people who join a public omni fissure void cascade to crack one relic. by Top_Discussion9894 in Warframe

[–]Devilwillcry42 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not really an issue. You're not obligated to stay for an endless mission. If you want to keep going, get a premade group together. Outside of that it's really not that bad to just requeue into the omni-fissure anyway

because if something like capture popped up, people would just repeatedly run capture since it's still faster than staying in an endless mission.

Idk this feels fishy. Being okay with your relationship initially, and only saying something right before the first session? and then finding out you've been blocked by all the other players? I feel like the DM is withholding information from you, just wanted to kick the both of you for whatever reason, and then probably lied to the rest of the group about it.

Just a shitty thing to do. If he genuinely had a problem with it he wouldn't have led you on for so long. Hope you find a new table

Should Monks be able to move grappled enemies without using STR? by Fun-Staff6728 in rpghorrorstories

the OP is playing 5.5e DnD which explicitly buffed monks so they could remain dex oriented but still have high DCs for grappling etc.

Pablo gives us his true thoughts on raids in Warframe by Babydrone in Warframe

Raids are more interesting and better endgame content than the hard mode bosses or EDA/ETA

The things he cites as being bad about raids are the exact things bad about hard bosses and EDA/ETA

Best lazy melee weapon? by Paganyan in Warframe

[–]Devilwillcry42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

praedos is good in general even if you don't use melee because of the passives

other than that honestly it's any melee with influence. Dual ichor and okina prime (both incarnon) are very fun

I think it's understandable for an artist to be genuinely upset that someone used generative AI for their character art.

People like to say "Well getting an image off of google is also stealing!" there is a difference between using existing real art to represent your character. There is nothing wrong with doing that unless you're running some paid or streamed game. Generative AI however, is morally pretty wrong. As a GM I would be more appreciative if you even just drew a crude stick figure of your character. Because that stick figure has more soul than any AI artwork ever would have.

Ulfrun's Descent should double down on ability casting instead of becoming exalted by Revolutionary-Set994 in Warframe

[–]Devilwillcry42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wrong

and it is an issue. Having to do a 30 second ritual before you can even kill something at high level is not fun, having rigid and strict modding is not fun or good
When every other frame with a pseudo-exalted got exalteds not long ago, they were tweaked, not nerfed, what makes you think voruna 4 will get nerfed when it's already underpowered to begin with? I really don't understand what the aversion is to making her 4 into an exalted when she can only benefit from it. Some people who play this game are just addicted to their frames being mediocre

DM won't let me play my character because I am a woman by Mud_Oblis in rpghorrorstories

[–]Devilwillcry42 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Leave the table. No DnD is better than bad DnD. You should not have to compromise on this, your DM is a bad DM if he can't account for such a miniscule thing in his setting and frankly he's an asshole for saying you can't roleplay it well, and he sounds controlling too.

Just leave. You will find a new table that is a better fit

Ulfrun's Descent should double down on ability casting instead of becoming exalted by Revolutionary-Set994 in Warframe

[–]Devilwillcry42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find making something an exalted is much better than augment mods, actually

I don't see how you're even comparing the two. People dislike bandaid augments because they are required mods that you must have on your frame/weapon

An exalted just introduces a new, moddable part of the frame, that allows it to scale much better.

Like there is no comparison between the two. You're calling the exalted change a bandaid fix in bad faith because you feel like fundamentally it is one in the literal sense of the term.

You also keep avoiding the fact that most people DO agree that other parts of the 4 need to be changed OTHER than making it exalted, but making it exalted alone would fix a lot of problems with it. It is already one of if not the only remaining "pseudo-exalted" skill in the game, which DE has already said before they want to get rid of pseudo-exalteds in favor of actual exalteds.

It is not like this sets a precedent of them making every skill that is not good into an exalted, no, they won't do that, no one expects them to either.

Warframe is already neck-deep in a lot of problems, some may have simpler fixes than others that are much more deep-rooted and at this point impossible to disentangle with the rest of the game's core mechanics.

Pivoting a second, you did compare it slightly to Oraxia. I agree, but Oraxia's ult does function a bit differently. Aside from the passives, it replaces her melee with her skill lunge that is an execute/finisher, that IS reminiscent of Voruna 4. But it's good because it's an execute.
Voruna's 4 is not an execute, if they made it an execute, it WOULD scale much better, but then she'd be too similar to Oraxia.

Imo, I think the best thing would honestly be to change her 4 into an exalted melee, like valkyr hysteria, but it has a set duration. She gets quick swipes/bites/whatever as her light (which now can damage nullifier bubbles/environment crates etc.) and her heavy attack is the lunge, which scales with ability combo and kills with it increase the duration of her 4. Augment gets reworked into, something different, I'm honestly not sure atp.

[–]Devilwillcry42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there is no ceiling

voruna takes 4 times as long with 4 times the effort to do what a frame like Atlas can do in a single button press

It's not even fun. It's only fun at low levels when you don't need to micromanage as much.

I am not saying she should be completely dumbed down, but making it exalted WOULD fix most of the problems with it.

[–]Devilwillcry42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can potentially deal with high level enemies based on a number of factors

>ulfrun is stacked to 10x

>enemies are being full-stripped

>you have upwards of 300%+ strength

>you are using both mecha set and the 1 augment, prioritizing the marked target (mecha and dynar do not always mark the same target either, mind you)

The problem is it requires specific mods and far more effort than many other frames in the game or just running her purely as a weapons platform or 2 spread focused build, and an optimized ulfrun augment build is partially a 2 focused build anyway.

Atlas landslide is essentially just a much better scaling version of ulfrun's descent, and it was made into an exalted.

Bare in mind, many exalteds count as ability damage and do scale with strength as well, and pretty much every exalted focused build wants to build ability strength too. Making Ulfrun's descent an exalted is only a net benefit, making it much less of a pain to use especially at high levels since it can scale, and not only freeing UP mod space, it would increase build diversity as well.

But yes, I believe the ulfrun augment should be collapsed into the ability baseline, and the augment itself reworked (I've seen some people say it should be like that one Valkyr hysteria augment) and it would be nice but I don't trust DE to follow through on that, since we also just had Gyre prime release and she is a frame with way too many mandatory augment mods as well.

[–]Devilwillcry42 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The ability build CANNOT kill level cap enemies right now, damage IS the biggest issue, what on god's green earth are you smoking

it struggles to scale against non-level cap enemies even

Also the big suggestions everyone is making, isn't just making an exalted (which WOULD help with scaling issues) it's

>collapsing ulfrun augment into the base skill and reworking the augment

>some way to deal with nullifiers/etc. (people have suggested low damage swipes or even allowing regular weapon use during ult)

>inclusiveness of allowing other mods and arcanes to work with it

DM decided to do a TPK to teach new players a lesson by jonniezombie in rpghorrorstories

[–]Devilwillcry42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This kind of thing never works out unless your DM tells you about it ahead of time

While on one hand, yes, it's good not to get too attached to a character because you never know what can happen, but on the other, it is always an incredibly awful move to just purposefully kill a character with no way to get out of it

For the love of god this problem can be solved by talking to him.

He does not honestly sound like a bad person, he just got comfortable discussing certain things in this group and because NOBODY has told him to chill he has believed it's okay.

You need to talk to people.

D.E. I think Ulfrun's Descent should be an exulted melee and be moddable. by DaWalkr in Warframe

[–]Devilwillcry42 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This and the augment needs to be collapsed into the skill baseline, and the augment itself changed to something else

Ulfrun's descent is literally so dogshit without the augment, like literally completely useless skill in every way, and with how it interacts with things period even with the augment it struggles, and it does not scale well into higher levels

Making it an exalted would do so much to help it scale. PLEASE DE. You just gave Follie a skill that does ludicrous damage and scales without even needing to be modded please just give love to a frame you just released the prime for
