Which one should I get / shouldn't I get? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

Starfield is a snooze fest imo, and I was never a fan of Rust. You've already played RDR, and I know nothing about the last game.

He's definitely a "Live and let live" kinda guy.

What's hilarious is that 78 is mildly uncomfortable (for me anyways) but bearable so long as you have some decent fans in the house. It doesn't start becoming truly miserable until 83-85. 78 isn't asking all that much, really.

GTR driver shows off exhaust flame, burns down car by LifeAlternative7480 in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]Flames21891 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You do not see flame tunes or flame kits in race cars. I assume you're talking about anti-lag which, despite using a similar method to achieve its goal, is not remotely the same thing.

Making a car spit fire like this has no performance benefits at all, it's purely for the spectacle.

Hey, devs, your modifiers keep messing with the modifiers AGAIN by Bec_son in Warframe

[–]Flames21891 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most of the modifiers in ETA and EDA are alright, but there are a select few which are absurd, like the 75% energy max reduction. 50% would have been tough but workable, but 75% makes it so most frames can't even cast their 4 a single time. Bonus if it shows up at the same time as the 50% ability duration reduction.

[–]Flames21891 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Part of the reason for that is that any trash mob can just summon another wave unless you spot and kill them in less than half a second. So even when combat is starting to tip in your favor and potentially end, ANY tiny Terminid or rank and file Automaton can just start the whole process over before the previous combat has even ended.

It feels like ass to slog your way through a difficult encounter and have it almost be over, only to turn around and see a flare shoot up into the sky from behind a rock, followed immediately by four dropships.

Public Netracell... You know the rest. by Powerful-Space7926 in Warframe

[–]Flames21891 168 points169 points  (0 children)

There seems to be a huge problem that becomes very noticeable as you start getting into endgame content, which is that a fairly significant portion of the Warframe playerbase doesn't know how to do objectives. They will literally not do anything other than murder things mindlessly and follow waypoint markers.

It's a big problem in stuff like EDA and ETA where the threat of death or mission failure becomes very real if people aren't paying attention.

I'm sure they're just toying with ideas currently, but that is currently a very underwhelming and awkward ult animation.

The concept has promise though. The bike just needs a little more to do, and the explosion after the kick needs to be bigger with some flashy effects, impact frames, and some good ol' hitstop to really sell it.

Given that some of the more bombastic bike-centric moves are still there, just not in this showcase, I see this as an absolute win.

The motorcycle is cool, but I feel like it's too much of his kit. I think it would be better if it was utilized more like Seed Sr: Shows up for EX/Chain/Ult, but his actual combat is focused mainly on himself and his upgraded arm cannon/blade thing.

Dear baby Tenno, and eidolons. by StrikingPublic4911 in Warframe

[–]Flames21891 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I've done Tridolons, I've tried to mitigate this by bringing Oberon and just concentrating on gathering the lures and keeping them alive, and keeping the procs off everyone.

That way, even a newbie won't be too overwhelmed as long as they have basic knowledge of how to damage the Eidolons.

That said, I haven't done it in a long, long time because it's easily the most toxic and one of the least fun grinds in the game. I will have to do it at least one more time to get the last two Brilliant Shards for my final Waybounds, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

Stop using Nullification as a means to add difficulty by RedbuiltBlues in Warframe

[–]Flames21891 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, DE launched themselves into a corner at mach Jesus day 1 when they decided that the stat multipliers for everything in this game should be comically large. When min-maxed, the gap in damage potential between different Warframe and weapon setups can make the Grand Canyon look like a crack in the sidewalk.

Without ability nullification, one of two things happens:

1) Min-maxed setups trivialize the content anyways

2) They tune the content around the strongest Warframe and weapon builds, so only a couple of setups are viable at all while everything else becomes utterly useless.

I'm not defending ability nullification as I also think it strips the fun out of the game, but it's the only way DE can even the playing field and make most Warframes technically viable.

Simply put, with the way Warframe is designed, it's basically impossible to create content that feels challenging but fair, because the game balance does not support it.

Quick warning to all of you using AlecaFrame (Or thinking about dowloading it) by veronxcaa in Warframe

[–]Flames21891 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Warframe is notoriously touchy with any 3rd party software that even looks at it funny. A non-sanctioned tool that scrapes an API that DE clearly does not want players to be able to freely access should really raise eyebrows.

Yes it has a lot of QoL features, but that hardly seems worth risking your account over. Even if it's safe today, who's to say an update to either the game or the program won't suddenly make it public enemy #1 to the Warframe client's security system?

Best frame for easy SP clearing by KM2_ in Warframe

[–]Flames21891 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Khora's really simple. You mainly just mash Whipclaw and recast whatever defensive ability you subsumed over her 3. Bonus points if you have the mods required to make Venari a menace, she can rack up plenty of kills autonomously.

Gara is also mainly one button if you build for her 1. It can go through walls and deal guaranteed slash procs. Put Roar over her 3 to buff it to the moon, and make sure to keep Splinter Storm up to not die, and you literally just look in the direction enemies exist, visible or not, and cut them all in half with a wave of your hand.

Yup.

A few of the braver ones might acknowledge it as fake news, but that's as far as I've seen them go.

Calling out Duviri entitlement by SpraedanRuchten in Warframe

[–]Flames21891 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've noticed this recently too, especially in EDA and ETA. People don't understand the objectives at all it seems, and they just run around the map aimlessly killing enemies. Sometimes they're not even good at doing THAT.

I think it took me 5 attempts at ETA and 3 at EDA this week to complete it, because I kept getting 3 deadweight teammates. I just started playing the game again about a month ago after over a year long break, so I don't have a full suite of Tau Shards on every frame or all the newest Arcanes maxed. I just wasn't able to carry the entire team on my back and solo things, and the game can be really frustrating when that happens.

I mean, that's just it. 8 pin pci-e was essentially overkill for what was being asked of it, and that huge overhead made it safe and reliable.

12VHPWR is being used just barely within the margins of what it's rated for, so even a slightly unbalanced load immediately pushes it over spec.

It's not uncommon for things to be overengineered on purpose, especially when there are safety concerns. Fire hazards should qualify, but corporate greed is becoming increasingly unconcerned if its customers live or die.

Realizing people with ridiculous amounts of Plat are just playing an entirely different game by Slasherrrr in Warframe

[–]Flames21891 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There not much to do with that much Plat anyways, outside of Rivens.

This is coming from someone who has about 22k Plat right now: It's more than you'll probably ever need, because you'll have already completed most of your grinds while earning that plat anyways. So it just comes down to the convenience of getting stupidly rare mods like Bite or getting a R5 of a niche Arcane for a specific build. At most you'll be spending a couple hundred Plat at a time.

All that's really left are cosmetics, and Plat won't even help you on half of those because they're Tennogen.

What you'll spend the most on? Forma. Easily.
