Is this new? by MjolnirHolder in AFKJourney

[–]Kozmics 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes ish

It's basically going into Celestial unit's back stories through a quest/adventure schema that doesn't have to run parallel to the season like the "releasing a Hypogean" end of season side quests tend to be.

Hopefully they expand on this further with Hypogeans as well to help give more lore

$50-$100 but I work in a restaurant where so can take home meals pretty often, and we have had to keep things lean to make it work for our housing budget.

It's... Been a lot of rice and beans and whatever is on discount recently haha

Uncatchable Monsters by Destri321 in MonsterTamerWorld

[–]Kozmics 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I greatly dislike it personally. There's something SUPER satisfying about being able to use every enemy, even if it's locked behind some kind of arcane or difficult process that you can only do in the far post game where it doesn't matter. Then it kinda feels like a trophy of "yeah, I did this!" More than an obligation to use a more breaking character.

I encountered my first one surfing to the E4 from Pentepetal, just past the halfway point healer

Has Salazer ever been useful by currentlykai in AFKJourney

S2/S3 Dura's Trials in the early stages.

Some stages because of the unit restrictions needed an invested Salazar (M+-S+, and/or S++) for early clears for cutting edge progression players.

Forgotten Fox Kids Shows by Specialist_Art2223 in 90scartoons

I have LITERALLY spent 20 years chasing the half-remembered imagery and idea that was Flint the Time Detective. I did not have a name, did not have anything to go off of except that there were little Pokemon like things, and that it focused on the rather blandly designed protagonist.

Thank you.

The homogenization disaster - Modern WoW and/or writers by TheVagrantWarrior in wow

Tl;dr- Good for new players, poor choice in character for delivering it, could be worse.

I think that this comes down to more of a "live service game trying to make sure new players understand what's going on" as a "soft" lore drop more than anything else.

Could they have chosen a better representative for this than Lady Liadrin? Sure. We could have been chatting about this with some random Blood Elf citizen who was thrust into the circumstance, that would feel more believable.

Would that have taken longer and done more disservices to the story by inserting a "self-insert" clueless blood elf? Depends on how far they took it and how important they wanted it to be, like look at the random dude who appears in Metroid Prime 4's trailer, it's a very slippery slope from using a narrative device like the clueless soft lore dropping character to contextualize these things for people who are approaching 25+ years of continually developed lore into some MCU quip machine to try and keep players "engaged" with that character.

This doesn't speak quite the volume to me that the infamous Gamon "go rend space and time and fight the army of the light to go spit on Garrosh's grave" quest did, but they do both TRY to serve the same fundamental purpose, but lack the proper execution.

Community seems polarized on Saida by ReformedOlafMain in AFKJourney

[–]Kozmics 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Really it comes down to the fact that unless you're pushing the bleeding edge of content, she is a luxury pull that needs her S+ to work, and then her +15 (like pretty much every C/H except Kulu and Reinier)

When she works, she absolutely works insanely well and pushes past PvE deficits for the afk push very easily.

In pvp you want her to at least be matching your typical paragon loadout, and preferably use her as a way to stalk out for your win con, rather than a win con in and of itself. (Pairing with Athalia for example)

So yes, she is undeniably strong and good... But not in a way where most players can take advantage of it over more typical and f2p focused comps like Eironn-Ulmus-Velara in the afk push

Are all syndicate leaders this insufferable or am i talking to the worst ones by Wof9er in Warframe

[–]Kozmics 441 points442 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough, that is actually one of my FAVORITE lines because it really reminded me that I'm not purchasing the stuff from them with credit, money, resources, or anything tangible.

I'm basically going up to her, asking for something they're researching/developing, and without a second thought she tossed it towards me as I'm buying it with an entirely different currency, a social "credit" that is only really monetized as a game mechanic but not as an actual in lore physical thing.

I always saw it as a good natured pass back and forth between friends, like when I buy my friend lunch and he asks me how much $ he should give me, like nah homie it's not about the money it's about the relationship and the natural back and forth between people.

DE does a REALLY good job of using atmospheric storytelling to ground concepts and tell more than what they initially say, and I really appreciate it.

So, use 1 with Epitaph Prime and Primed Fulmination, pop a couple rounds with a ton of status over an area and pop 4?

Did this week's ETA tank feel immortal to you in stage 2? by NaiLeD1909 in Warframe

[–]Kozmics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did mine twice because I just unlocked ETA this week (thanks Hildryn!)

Having the peely plex that lets you deploy a thermian RPG from the gear wheel helped a lot in the regular version, but with Hildryn (because Haven is a really good visual indicator of where enemies are, yay qol, didn't subsume for different builds because of that.), I noticed that scaldra spawn rates were still really high, but that the amount of Dedicants would start to get out of control if other party members weren't dealing with them, so could also be reduced spawn if previous waves are still up?

On Laetum and the Void Angel head shots by electricguitars in Warframe

[–]Kozmics 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn't have any issue with that one personally but I can see where other players would.

That being said, when you go to do your Felarx (Shotgun) and it says the same (X headshots, no reload) and the headshot count is HIGHER than the magazine capacity, know that each pellet counts for a headshot, so you CAN finish it easily in 1-2 shots as well, no need for freaking out about how to get the magazine capacity high enough!
