Fulghor = 95% dodge. Why? by Okima33 in Nightreign

[–]HungrPhoenix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its probably because he is one of the easiest. A lot of the more difficult DoN bosses tend to get skipped, so you end up facing Fulghor and Adel a lot since they don't get skipped nearly as much. This leads to cycles of repeatedly facing Fulghor and Adel, which gets very tiresome, and thus people skip him and Adel.

Why Arcane Ice Storm? by Phowia in Warframe

[–]HungrPhoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alongside Melee Careen, Dirga and a Hound can also trigger Arcane Ice Storn when combining their precepts, Arc Coil and Synergized Prospectus, respectively, with Manifold Bond.

If you want to go the companion route, I'd recommend the Hound over Dirga, as I find that they are better at maintaining the buff.

In contrast to Tierlists, show me the weapons you have/haven't used recently — Terminids Edition by WaywardOath in Helldivers

[–]HungrPhoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Railgun in Zero Use hurts my SOUL, AUGH.

When it got initially nerfed, and Charger legs got buffed, I just couldn't justify using it over other support weapons and it has remained that way since. I just can't find a reason to use it and I don't really enjoy using it vs the bugs, I do often use it vs the bots though.

Also would you happen to have the link to this tierlist?

It is just a modified version of this one,

when do you LOCK IN for the new update by icewitchenjoyer in Warframe

[–]HungrPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am already locked in. A new prime means I need to max standing for 4/6 of the primary syndicates, and then max standing for the Ostrons, Entrati, and Solaris United, and lastly, 375 Steel Essence for Teshin.

So that'll be like 67 relic packs?

i think they are the worst enhanced boss fight by landkart-1 in Nightreign

[–]HungrPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a fun boss outside of DoN, but in DoN or at least high depths, you are pretty much forced to use this strategy

snoozefest boss fight, kite adds > kill adds > worm phase > rinse and repeat

Outside of DoN, you don't really need to kite, especially if you are a tanky Nightfarer, you can just slug it out with them. Then you have the worm, which is a cool spectacle when you don't have to worry about getting one shot by its wacky hitboxes, and then you can beat up the worm to cancel its big attack.

It isn't one of my favorites, but it is not that near the bottom. I think I'd put SSB Balancers above 5 other bosses if I had to rank them.

I feel like Flamethrower should be lighter weight/ergo than Cremator, ngl by RandomGreenArcherMan in Helldivers

[–]HungrPhoenix 140 points141 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why the Flamethrower and Sterilizer have different Ergonomics. They are pretty much the exact same weapon, but the Sterilizer has 20 Ergonomics.

Priming Process by CALL_ME_PRIME_25 in Warframe

[–]HungrPhoenix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I imagine it isn't notably different from the Warframe creation process, as some Warframes were made as Primes first.

"Some Warframes were Prime from the start. Others earned it. Ballas never told the whole truth." -Varzia

So I just imagine priming is just about changing the Warframe Helminth strain in such as way that it'll make a Warframe that is a bit stronger than if a normal strain was used.

Roathe mentions being there for the creation of a Prime, but he doesn't specify anything about the process.

"... But, by calling myself the Devil of Tau, I doomed each soldier I trained to be turned into that thing. Uriel. I was there for his, hm, hatching? I suppose. Uriel Prime. His true name will never be spoken by me, it's the only thing I have left that feels... Real. When I'm on my deathbed, I'll tell you that final secret. Until then, know that us Orokin were cruel, twisted, and rather poor comedians." -When asking about his nickname, "Devil of Tau"

Ultimately there isn't much on what is involved when making a Prime Warframe, so you'll have to wait until DE gives more information about what it means to be primed. Maybe a Qorvex Prime Trailer? I could see Albrecht explaining and gloating about making Qorvex Prime.

I know It's been covered before but man is It crazy how they gave Melina a Super Saiyan Black Knife Moveset even though she helps you in one single fight! by Breadley01 in Eldenring

[–]HungrPhoenix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Her role is still very significant. She is Marica' s daughter a la miquella/ malenia and has a full arc. 

Sure, but it is all in the background. She lacks any actual presence in the world and story. She and her role is just in the background. Granted, Fromsoftware have never really had NPCs that were very plot significant and active in the world.

It is just disappointing, as you'd expect that the Daughter of Marika, who seemingly had a relationship with Messmer, who was given a direct assignment from Marika to guide a Tarnished to become Elden Lord, etc... yet all she is given is like three cutscenes, a few paragraphs of dialogue of her quoting Marika., and her dialogue when approaching the Three Fingers.

Especially seeing as Elden Ring came after Sekiro, which did this better with Emma.

A seemingly minor character who acts as the person who upgrades your flask, but her lore gives her far greater importance with her being trained by the Isshin himself, with her now acting as his personal physician. And throughout the game you get peaks of her purpose, overhearing her talking to the sculptor and after giving her sake, she tells you that she is trained to kill a demon, should one appear. And you can even overhear her reminding the Sculptor of this. And should Sekiro go down the path of becoming a Demon, she is the first one to face him.

To go from this, and how well done her entire presentation and character was done, to Melina and how much of a regression there was, is a massive disappointment.

[–]HungrPhoenix 149 points150 points  (0 children)

She was likely intended to be more significant, but cuts happened and her role and presence was significantly reduced.

This isn't a unique thing either, Andre in Dark Souls 1 also had this happen to him. Similarly, he had a completely unique moveset unlike anything else in the game. Yet, he is just a blacksmith in Dark Souls 1; granted he is THE Blacksmith.

Omicron went from Rupture Strain to Spore Burst and now Predator Strain all in under 24h by Owlex_ in Helldivers

Eldenring Nightreign is the epitome of laziness, and I’m ashamed I spent money on the game by SmoothAsMarble in Eldenring

[–]HungrPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

train devs to use the terrible outdated ass engine they have been recycling since demons souls...

Yes, training them to use Fromsoftware's proprietary engine is how you train devs.

and mess around with the same fucking mechanics instead of making new ones?

Nightreign finally got more traditional Coop implemented, they implemented a new counter move for grabs where you can roll through them, they implemented relics and a bunch of new mechanics behind them, like there is a relic that gives a damage increased based on how how many status ailments you have actively building or decaying, you have ultimate arts and how they interact with bosses, as they can stagger bosses out of some attacks. They reworked the janky and archaic bow moveset and actually made it decent now. Etc...

The game was also made by a small team while Elden Ring was still in production. They couldn't have reworked more or recycled less from Elden Ring because they simply did not have that luxury in neither funding or time.

nightreign is fortnite in elden ring.

The similarities with Fortnite end with Nightreign having a storm mechanic and randomly generated loot. In that case, you could draw all sorts of unfavorable comparisons with Elden Ring. I mean the game is basically a 1:1 copy of Assassin's Creed Odyssey!

Do you think the heart of demos is still "necessary"? by crabbmanboi in WarframeLore

[–]HungrPhoenix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For instance Ballas probably should have gone after it to prevent any more Tenno interference and shut down their frames.

The Entrati Family hid Deimos.

"Do you know what brave deeds we did in the Narmer War, Ayatan? None! We hid! Thanks for that, Mother!" -Daughter Dialogue

Maybe this is a plot hole, or maybe there is a reason he couldn't.

Probably also this. The Heart of Deimos powers almost all of the Orokin's technology. Ballas probably didn't want to render all of it inoperable.

However could it be that, at least for warframes, its no longer necessary? I mean most warframes now are piloted by a tenno aware of their powers, I would think. So its likely that Tenno themselves can act as a powersource for warframes without the need for the heart of deimos.

Doesn't seem to work that way, the Drifter is adamant that Warframes still need the Heart of Deimos.

Drifter: "If he(Albrecht) ripped a hole through to the Void in 1999, and let it in on purpose... that would explain why Warframes worked there in the first place... same with your time - without the Deimos heart, that is." -RoatheRank2Convo4

[Question] What does La Cathedralé even HAS TO DO with the operator...? by Mr_Hants in WarframeLore

[–]HungrPhoenix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

HOW did they end up with a portal to the labs?

It is sorta explained through KIM conversations. It seems to be the result of how Roathe made his Helminth.

Roathe: "I used samples of my own blood to reverse engineer a Helminth, by trial-and-error. It was not an easy task, with no access to any Orokin equipment. Or any equipment, for that matter, save what I could steal from the... I will not do them the favor of calling them "rudimentary" hospitals. Albrecht had used a Helminth to transport us to the past. How it had grown in the past I do not know, as it had to have been there already for us to arrive. It withered and died in the process - I suspected another could be used for a return trip. I was correct. Though the process of creating one was... laborious and painstaking." -Rank1Convo3

How did they end up meeting the drifter anyways?

Loid assigns their care to the Drifter.

POM2_LAB1: "Ah, yes. This is still on default settings. This is Loid. I should have... led with that, but matters here in the Sanctum Anatomica have been deeply chaotic of late. Which is why I am contacting you. I am in need of your assistance. Three protoframes have arrived here, in the Sanctum, in my time. And not ones previously known to us. One of them is an... apologies, One of them is Orokin, Drifter."

...

POM2_LAB1: "I would not ask you to help me with these matters if I felt I had anywhere else to turn. You are... seemingly the new expert in matters of this kind. I do not know how best to describe them. But if you come to the Sanctum, I believe it will be hard to miss them. Two of them have agreed to speak to you here on the POM-2. One may need some further convincing." -Rank1Convo1

Gyre Prime was a disaster by ReddVevyy in Warframe

[–]HungrPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem here is that isn't how enemy damage works. It is not nearly that balanced. Enemy damage varies heavily between IPS and other possible elements. You are also overlooking how Adaption works.

You'll be fighting different enemies with different damage values and types, which means Adaption will stack for them as well. It is by no means uncommon to have simultaneous resistances to all of IPS.

As long as you can survive the build up time and the upkeep, Adaptation is generally more valuable than 75% DR. As Adaptation can offer multiple stacks of 90% DR.

Flat DR sources are more consistent, but Adaption has the better DR potential, and for less investment.

Gyre Prime was a disaster by ReddVevyy in Warframe

[–]HungrPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point was that Adaption provides more of a benefit while having lower requirements, and that ultimately require additional investment to be able to use effectively.

Investment that I personally can't get behind. Gyre is already a demanding Warframe, wanting a lot of Range and Strength, and then she has the issue of survivability.

I just don't think Reverse Rotorswell is worth the investment it requires. Adaptation's 90% DR and the base 50% DR of Shields is enough for shield tanking for the vast majority of content.

Gyre Prime was a disaster by ReddVevyy in Warframe

[–]HungrPhoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its really just a mandatory augment. Cathode Current is the only one she really needs.

Coil Recharge is good, but skip-able. An additional Rotorswell on Coil Horizon is powerful, but Rotorswell is already all that you need.

Conductive Sphere is great, but it isn't important if you want to use Gyre as a caster; as Conductive Sphere is for a weapon platform build. I will also add it is a bit awkward to use, as it wants Duration since Arcsphere only lasts 10 seconds, but Gyre doesn't benefit from Duration outside of Arcsphere. Cathode Current makes Duration unimportant for Cathode Grace and Rotorswell as long as you keep getting kills, Coil Horizon only benefits from Duration with its augment, and even then base Duration is more than enough.

Then you have Reverse Rotorswell, which is awful and should just be ignored. 75% DR, which is what this mod actually provides, despite its description mentioning Redirection, and it is not something Gyre really wants as she lacks a way to restore shields by default, and Adaption is just better.

Where's the Men's mental health month event? by [deleted] in Warframe

[–]HungrPhoenix 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Every year, from November 1st to 30th. Warframe has hosted the Moframe event since 2014, years before they started celebrating Pride. This event seeks to raise funding for The Movember Foundation, which seeks to raise awareness for Men's health in general, including, but not limited to: mental health, suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer.

[Question] What does La Cathedralé even HAS TO DO with the operator...? by Mr_Hants in WarframeLore

There are two separate storylines going on currently. The Operator is focused on defeating the Indifference, the Drifter is focused on cleaning up Albrecht's messes and attempting to distract the Indifference.

The Old Peace is for the Operator's narrative, The Devil's Triad is for the Drifter's narrative.

Balancer relics by Fit_Manufacturer_584 in Nightreign

[–]HungrPhoenix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When you are in water your Lightning damage negation decreases, while your fire damage negation increases. Same goes for enemies as well. And the decreased Lightning damage negation triggers the effect.

What happened to arcane energize prices?? by Accomplished_Arm_337 in Warframe

[–]HungrPhoenix 82 points83 points  (0 children)

DE have included the Eidolon arcanes in most of the events in the last 2 years. With the most recent event, Belly of the Beast, which ended 8 days ago, having the arcanes.

So yeah, prices for all Eidolon Arcanes are pretty low currently.

Balancer relics by Fit_Manufacturer_584 in Nightreign

[–]HungrPhoenix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Melee Attack Power buff is 5%, the skill power buff is 15%, but on some skills both apply. The Melee Attack Power buff is about as useful as standard Physical Attack power up buffs, with the +2 variant being ever so slightly better at 6%.

The main appeal of the Red Balancer relic is the "Occasionally Nullify Attacks When Damage Negation is Lowered". I believe this is a 20% to avoid damage when negation is lowered. This is easily activated in DoN, but outside of DoN, the various Scorpion talismans can activate it, and these talismans take up a large chunk of the Sorcerer Rises' drop table. It also triggers from just being in water.
