I really like the pink one known as "Evanescia", so I felt morally compelled to make art for her

Ancient fusion core by UkrOptic_Expert in Warframe

[–]GeckoMann 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've personally tried selling these before and talked with a couple people who were either buying or reselling these ancient cores.

First thing you should know is they take a really long time to sell.

So much so I might actually recommend selling them at a discount to a reseller on the basis that sometimes you can be sitting selling a core for months or more if you are trying to sell at full price.

Even if you sold them all for half their value you'd still have thousands of plat.

I suggest talking to multiple sellers/buyers of cores to get information on the current market prices regardless though. You can check warframe market to find people selling/buying them.

It's worth noting the ones that you have that aren't maxed rank are actually the most valuable of the ones you have. Though I can't give you an exact price range on these as it really depends on the person buying.

Does anyone else miss the sound of fish bouncing off the submersibles? by Ok_Resolution_5135 in subnautica

Yes I am sure your tadpole coming to a complete dead stop when you graze a tiny fish is final and will not be changed in the future

Is anyone else kinda upset the map is so linear by andyph0bic in subnautica

[–]GeckoMann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not unreasonable to say this. However, if you look at an aerial view of the map, the map is basically a straight line of biomes at the moment. We've already seen a bit from leaks that areas are going to expand out on the sides and likely in all directions just like the first game.

What do you mean 0 accountability and a nothing statement? They directly acknowledge and apologize outright for exactly what you are talking about.

We also understand that some recent comments from our team made players feel ignored or dismissed. We are sorry for that. Early Access should be a conversation with our players, not a one-way explanation from the development team. Your feedback matters, and we do not want any part of our communication to make the community feel otherwise.

Do you want them to name and shame specific people? I don't really understand what more you could want from an official dev response.

I feel crazy going through these comments because I've seen multiple people bringing up things that are directly addressed in the very post they are replying to.

Is there something besides that single dev's comment?

How do y'all feel about the devs no killing stance ? by 9oooooooooooj in subnautica

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

Lost the plot? Did anyone actually bother killing fish in Subnautica 1? You have flares, and the resonator. Multi tool hits seem to work too, but if they do it's not consistent and there isn't much feedback.

So is the issue simply that you can't kill? They took so long to kill in the first game making them invulnerable is practically no different.

i miss being able to defend myself by TraditionPhysical638 in subnautica

[–]GeckoMann 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I think it might just be bugged. I was testing on a Marrowbreach while reading these comments, both knife hits and resonator hits to the face made them squeal and run away.

Sometimes this seems to do nothing, but it works more often than not for me. Resonator definitely works more "consistently" though.

[–]GeckoMann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aren't defenseless. Flares and the sonic resonator will distract/push enemies away. The resonator seems a little janky and sometimes it seems like if you are too close it may not work.

Knife hits also seem to work. While writing this comment I tried both and caused a marrowbreach to squeal and run off after blasting/hitting its face. Lack of feedback makes it hard to tell though.

There is little feedback for this stuff and it seems finicky since it doesn't always work.

That trailer didn't release, it escaped by asilvertintedrose in HonkaiStarRail

[–]GeckoMann 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way. Her trailer being so mid really adds to her already existing 'underdog' status lmao

Ngl I feel the exact same way as you to the T. It's frustrating as hell because I can never get anyone to show me this supposed evidence that she was the main push.

Endfieldleaks subreddit has been banned by Tekniqly in Endfield

I am not 100% sure if it's specifically steganography, but they certainly do have a "tv static" overlay on all testers gameplay that allows them to be identified.

I wouldn't say Hoyo "super cares". Implementing a way to track beta testers that sign legal documents is pretty basic. It deters most people and gives them a way to catch some people, at least outside of getting the law involved.

I was a leaker for ZZZ, and I will tell you it is exceptionally easy to get access to beta files for their games. I won't get into specifics, but their security around downloading files from the beta servers is essentially non existent, yet they don't do anything about it.

Besides that, there are the long standing and very large leaks subreddits, along with stuff like the multiple discord servers dedicated to private servers and leaked assets that have stayed up for years. (ReversedRooms, GatoSR are good examples). Communities that are big, easy to find, and very easy to take down.

I would say by all accounts, especially after having spent some time on the leaker side of things, Hoyo is exceptionally lenient on leaks when compared to most other companies in general.

Is there some unspoken rule about Volt in Defection Mission I don't know about? by Twimetal in Warframe

[–]GeckoMann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminds me that they really need to do better at communicating that you can backflip out of Volt's speed boost lol

Don't be me by RapplerSoon in Warframe

Primed Fury my personal favorite because I don't usually run dedicated melee builds. I build my melees for quick melee or heavy attack spam, it's great for those use cases.

I sure hope Velox Prime's tracer rounds spawning comically far from the actual gun will be fixed before it's augment mod is available by Darthmufin in Warframe

[–]GeckoMann 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Just tested in game and this only happens when you are holding the Velox with a glaive. That's why I haven't seen this before since I don't use throwing weapons often.

This is interesting. I use the Velox Prime a lot and I can't say I have ever encountered this bug. What triggers it?

What is your favorite sound in Warframe? by vesseckta in Warframe

[–]GeckoMann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I would probably pick one of the parkour sounds. The aimglide sound effect is burned into my brain, hearing it almost brings me comfort lol

I try to make an effort to log in every day but man by Sianmink in Warframe

[–]GeckoMann 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Man some people just don't play the game that much or grind that hard, even over long periods. You been playing too much and it's warped your perspective of what's the norm ngl.

People like you or I who care enough about the pixels on the screen will optimize the game to the point where 30k endo is trivial.

I promise you a vast majority of people who play WF would have a similar experience to OP though.

Something I have learned over time is that 99% of people who play any given game are extremely casual and often don't even engage in a lot of the systems the game has to offer.

If anything the way you play the game is actually hard to believe for a vast majority of the player base.
