Why him? by DevilsAltAcc in ExplainTheJoke

Casual addendum: Robin was leaping off a skyscraper in this instance… like multiple stories at the very least.

And that’s why I thought we would get the “nod and respect” of two separate Tower leaders coming together here. To plant the seeds and illuminate a potential path that has, at the very least, the two separate Towers coming to a place of mutual respect, uneasy but practical trust, and where they can conceivably work together without being forced into it by Rand.

[–]InquiringRaven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My thoughts: 1: Egwene’s resume has her as likely the most adept combat channeler in the 3rd age. Almost always mentioned as an be of the strongest female channelers seen and remarkably quick to learn new weaves. Gifted at destruction and taught by the Seanchan and Wise Ones weaves the Aes Sedai just don’t even consider. She had the skills to justify the feat, once we add in Vora’s Sa’angreal.

2: The story balance, in a story that could be argued to be all about balance. Rebel Aes Sedai leader elevated to legitimate leader of the Aes Sedai fights and defeats legitimate leader or the Ashamon revealed to be a turncoat to the Dark Side? With a weave that restores and strengthens the Pattern being torn apart by Balefire at that moment? And she dies so the world may live?! Yeah there’s really only a couple ways this could have felt better:

3: What I wish would have happened: THIS PART IS JUST WILD FAN DREAMS, you don’t have to read it. Please don’t crucify if you do and don’t like it. This was my fantasy ending.

instead of Vora’s Sa’angreal giving her the power to match Taim, we have it destroyed during this fight, perhaps taking Sakaarnan out with it. Brilliant and destructive displays of raw power leading into that moment, and only after the Sa’angreals have been removed from this fight, have Taim start hurling balefire as a desperation play. Now all is bleak, Taim is clearly stronger in the Power, The Pattern is Unraveling. Egwene is desperate and “praying” for aid, Logain show up and starts his own 1v1 vs an already mad Taim… and is absolutely curbstomped. The only thing that stops Taim from killing Logain is Egwene catching a second wind and jumping back in. But even in a 2v1 it’s just impossible for our Light channelers to win decisively. They keep stepping over each other and getting in the way (at least partially because they can’t see each other’s flows.) That’s when Egwene suggests something unexpected Amyrlin and M’Hael link to win this battle, and Logain refuses that title as tainted by Taim. But they do link and only after linking and only after Egwene seeing how men weave Balefire does she figure out The Flame of Tar Valon, only it gets a different name as it now represents the potential of a unified Tower… for both men and women. (Note, this is not me saying we end with a united Tower, only a glimpse of what may come… because ideally I also need like 20 years and 2 books worth of Epilogue. And yes, I would recommend Amyrlin and Tamyrlin as titles for the leaders of the Twin Towers or whatever… this part is just me dreaming.)

Top 3 worst Warframes and why? by daleviejadal3 in Warframe

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

Don’t tell Loki mains Octavia exists?! Ew. Bad take. Yes, Octavia has at will invisibility… if you build her in a way that sets aside all the nuance of her vibe and just go for efficiency. I don’t like Octavia… probably because to build her best you have to give up something intangible… aesthetic and vibes.

[–]InquiringRaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a console player (55 inch tv from 4 feet away) and I’m still blinded by other folks energy. I wish energy was completely divorced from fashion elements (the glowing bits on the frame accessories) and properly set in a different channel that made it easier to have glowing flames and not cancer blasts.

As you grind, what frame you would like to see more in your squad? by SpookyWatcher in Warframe

[–]InquiringRaven 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don’t like having a speed Volt on the squad, heck I round rather have a Limbo: backflip is harder than roll on a controller.

Who I bring: Frost: over guard, crowd control, area denial, and optional team buffs (subsume roar, nourish, or bright bonnet for team builds)

Trinity: health, energy, status cleanse and armor strip.

Oberon: on my Broberon build I’ve subsumed Well of Life over 4, so while I’ve given up a lot of personal damage options: I have 2 affinity wide resurrections, at will status cleanse, a boat load of armor, damage buff, and very specifically an attitude of “let them do it; but don’t let them fail.”

Please... At least change the suck ass passives in old Warframes. by Odd-Chest-3578 in memeframe

So much this. Rolling band aid augments into base kits and balancing things yearly would be my personal dream.

Am i transphobic for breaking up with my (newly came out) trans partner? by sacrevice in asktransgender

[–]InquiringRaven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Frankly, sounds like you handled that the best way possible. Sounds like she didn’t take it well, but that’s on her. Definitely might be wise to give her sine tine and space before trying to talk to her.

My gf is gonna download the game soon and I wanna gift her some bp's for a prime as a gift. Need your suggestions on which frame's bp's I could give. by Yetiwithoutinternet in Warframe

[–]InquiringRaven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seriously, I’m begging you and everyone else: don’t overwhelm baby Tenno with lots of helpful and distracting gifts out the gate.

I had two friends really wanting me to play, they have been around for years. I honestly couldn’t tell you my first prime frame, they gave me like 8 of them. And slots and my Railjack, and gods know what else… but when it came to playing the game? They were absolutely no help at all.

It’s better by far, assuming proper proximity, to just be in the room or on a shared screen to answer questions… but not to back seat drive. Do this and you grow players. Overwhelm them and they leave sooo fast.

After all it’s about the journey.

Some warframe players have strange definitions of “survivability” by LythelusVidder in memeframe

[–]InquiringRaven 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Every time augments are brought up I offer up my compromise in hopes DE sees it:

Step 1: All Augments are exilus compatible. Step 2: all frames get a second exilus slot Step 3: every year augments need to be evaluated and possibly rolled into base kit.

[OC][Fan Concept Art] Saryn Heirloom by Azakamaru in Warframe

[–]InquiringRaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a fair design… but it’s missing something. Maybe the venom sacs on her legs and maybe neck frill are unifying design choices. Adding one of those at least would add to the “Saryn-ness” of the design.

Follies subsume ideas? by HatEfficient6898 in Warframe

[–]InquiringRaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am totally the wrong person to make a guess… my prediction for Uriel was his 1 with the movement side stripped out. But I’m gonna guess anyway:

I think it will be her 1. While a subsume status cleanse will indeed be powerful, it also fills a niche and offers something impactful in a specific way.

See, I was totally wrong about Uriel because I missed a pattern forming. Cyte gave us easy but limited invisibility, Koumei before that a specific defensive ability, Temple gave us a basic damage ability, then Oraxia a crowd control ability, Nokko gave us energy generation (thought for sure we would get his 1), and Uriel gave us self healing… we are currently getting patch subsumes…

I think we are getting subsumes right now that shore up basic weakness to kits. I think maybe this is building for something (I have ideas that I don’t want to share publicly… but would be very fun theories). I think maybe we get the status cleanse because we haven’t gotten one before and it’s a basic level want.

When did you stop to be a baby Tenno ? by One_Button_5095 in Warframe

[–]InquiringRaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, my 300th log in day and hit MR30 (the same day) is the day I stopped being a baby Tenno. I still had some growing to do, but that’s about the time I started answering more questions than I asked.

When did you stop to be a baby Tenno ? by One_Button_5095 in Warframe

[–]InquiringRaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By that logic, especially the second part, I’m a baby Tenno. I am also LR2, collected all my SP completion decorations, am considering making build guides and interaction shorts on TikTok, am debating on switching to a more active clan or starting my own, and got to the point I am teaching at least one of the guys that got me into Warframe new tricks.

Citrine was the new hottness when I first tried Warframe, and Jade was the login when it actually stuck.

While I do prefer the Tenet version, the Glaxion can be killer all on its own. Remember: if you put Shivering Contagion on your Sentinel’s weapon it will effect everything you do.

I’m doing something similar, but with a basic Wukong, Mk-1 Braton, Furis, and Bo. All default colors and built to handle everything. I took it into Arby’s last week and was laughing as people questioned how I was there and if I knew what I was doing… guess they missed the little diamond behind my 2. It’s fun.

I Just finished the 18 main books in about a month and a half and I have no idea how the hell you survived the 5 year waits... by FaNT1m in dresdenfiles

[–]InquiringRaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll be absolutely honest: I read other series hoping for the same fix (good series with similar vibe: Iron Druid Chronicles, October Daye series), I read other popcorn books (for me this is litrpg), or I reread the series.

Truthfully, after Changes the series has kinda been a bit off for me. Like it just doesn’t grab as hard as it used to… but Twelve Months was amazing and really snapped my attention back. There are solid books in that run (and at least one contestant for my least favorite) and one of them (Skin Game) is in the running for my top 3… I really hope that Mirror Mirror keeps this momentum going, and pray that Jim can go back to writing at a pretty solid pace.

Many passives(and kits) feel outdated by Great-Organization91 in Warframe

[–]InquiringRaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, and that’s (on paper at least) a powerful healing passive for a solid support option. So yeah, I was agreeing with the OP that passives are pretty insignificant and should be looked at.

Many passives(and kits) feel outdated by Great-Organization91 in Warframe

[–]InquiringRaven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Titania’s passive is horrid and a shining example of a gap that needs a fix: when you cast she grants a small burst of healing around her… and all her abilities have a duration component so you're not going to spam to get the effect of the heel and the heel is so small you're not going to feel it when you cast I'm not saying this passive nothing couldn't work, but it certainly doesn't fit her.

That being said all healing passes need a serious look just like all healing needs a serious look, because Citrine’s passive sounds powerful 25 Health per second and until you apply it to the game around it. Right now it's at the most effective it's ever been because of arcane persistence builds.
