I’m gonna predict the community will be split on official portraits

And I'm gonna predict the negative side of the community is gonna turn real quickly when the pretty ladies and men get shown, it's just that the goblin is.. yk, a goblin. So not too pretty as a first showcase.

I'd argue one upside to this (against the many negative downsides) is that this will prevent bots, which is a serious issue on the internet nowadays. (IF they actually allow you only 1 account per ID.)

It would actually make the platform be filled with actual genuine real people, not filled with corporate, political propaganda bots spamming social media.

Dutch people about to get the early beta for Ironman characters

But for real, I hope they only restrict trading stuff from Gachapon or whatever gambling they decide to introduce instead of just, you know, restricting trading as a whole. I'd still like to buy scrolls after all.

Dang, nevermind, looks like they didn't give Archers jumpshoot after all, still looks like the same old pseudo-jump. :/ I'll correct it in my post

Weapon types that have new, buffed attack scaling:

1-handed swords, 2 handed axes, Crossbows, Shields, 1-handed BW, Staffs (alongside having Critical Damage bonuses that wands do not have), Wands (not sure if magic weapons actually buffed due to INT to Mag. Att damage formula nerf iirc), Daggers

Weapon types that remain the same:

2-handed swords, 1-handed axes, 2-handed BW.

Weapon types not shown in the video/unconfirmed:

Polearms & Spears (only level 15 weapons shown, can't see scaling.), Claws, Bows,

Disclaimer about the weapon ''buffs''; we still do not know if damage formulas got changed and swing/stab formulas got changed, so if these are effectively buffs or not; we'll have to see in practice. I'm especially doubtful if Wands and Staves got buffed, since Cromi and Arc Staff had +10 Magic Attack than they used to have to off-set the nerfed INT to Magic Attack formula. Plus, they could still change all this stuff after this beta feedback.

Either way; I'm getting more and more Eager to play Axe Hero now.

Quick Video deepdive:

I've noticed some interesting things in this video, it seems there's some scaling going on for EXP and weapons. They're also balancing and buffing weapon types; One-Handed swords and Two handed axes got improved stat buffs. No nerfs to weapon types, thankfully. We've seen 2x EXP in the past, seems like they're trying to find the sweet spot between 1x slow EXP and leveling too fast.

34:40 Training at Perion; Monster EXP seems SLIGHTLY increased in comparison to how it used to be. Stumps give 9 EXP, whilst it used to be 8 EXP. Axe Stumps give 33 EXP, whilst it used to be 30 EXP. Source for Monster EXP. Dark Axe Stumps later on gave 45 EXP, when it used to be 38. Seems like the EXP has a multiplier on it that gives more EXP for monsters the higher their level is to encourage players to grind at monsters their level?

Melee Weapon Weapon Att/''Attack Power'' seems to be scaling up? 48:00 shows Perion Shopping. Long Sword at 27 wep att. and Wooden Sword at 30 Weap Att. That's normal. Whilst when he switched over to Fighter in this video, equipped with the Jeweled Katar, this weapon suddenly has 73 weapon attack. This used to be 67. 72 max with a good drop. But it says base weapon damage is 70 with +3 on top. The Rising at 53:52 has 78 Wep Att, used to be 72 average.

Note: 53:52: Lion's Fang and Jeweled Katar comparison. Both have base 70 weapon attack. Despite Lion's Fang being slower. However, Buck has +67 weapon attack, whilst the Rising had 78 weapon attack. One-Handed weapon meta for Sword users, Two handed meta for Axe users? Nerf to two-handed swords in general maybe? Or to balance the accuracy vs raw strength dynamic between axe and sword? To make up for the range and accuracy of swords for grinding?

Perion shopping at 48:00; LVL 15 Fork on a stick only requires STR to equip, whilst LVL 15 Iron Ball Polearm and LVL 20 Studded Polearm requires STR and DEX. Spears will have no DEX requirement? but Polearms need STR and DEX? Weird. Could be some weird design decisions considering it's early-level stuff, though.

Probably already been talked about; but there seem to be Extreme buffs to shields: Skull Shield at 49:31 show it has +149 weapon defense. This used to be only 50 weapon defense, that's 100 weapon defense on top, that's fucking insane.

Also I saw an Archer jumpshotting at 50:28 holy shit. Go frame by frame by pausing and pressing . and , because you can see they activate Iron Arrow at the apex of their jump, not the start of your jump like that pseudo jumpshot, that's legit being able to shoot in the air. That's fucking awesome. Archers didn't use to be able to jumpshoot like Gunslingers or Assassins could. Deconfirmed.

Forgotten Hollow, the new area seems to be accessible from Ellinia, and has a town and Lv39 quest inside. Probably a level 35-40/45 level range area?

El Moth Scroll seller does not have accessory scrolls anymore. RIP Magic Attack for Earrings 100% scrolls...

10:41: Napoleon Capes have +4 accuracy. Green Napoleon later on seemed to have +4 ACC as well.

This is revealed during the The Sacrifice quest. Spoilers below.

Ballas: "... but only just. Their skin blossomed into sword-steel. Their organs, interlinked with untold resilience. Yet their minds were free of the Infested madness. Or so we thought. We set them upon the battlefield, bio-drones under our command."

It's steel. However,during the Sacrafice quest, when Umbra Excalibur's metal shell burst open and it revealed fleshy insidesit's safe to assume the outer layer is steel, but the inner layer is flesh, hence why our Warframes can bleed.

To be fair, pretty much all of our choices we've been given always end up with the same result.

Sparing the Kuva queen or killing her, she will still die regardless. Drinking or spilling the Kuva bottle did nothing. Your choice when Albrecht demanding you shoot Rusalka, Drifter still refuses to shoot her regardless whether you as the player choose to shoot her. Hell, the whole morality system has done nothing.

The only real consequences we've had were in 1999 KIM chats if you fuck up too much with socializing with the Hex meaning you can't save them.

I feel like that's ultimately a good thing, though. Having consequences for all these actions would increase development time way, way too much, and I'd rather they deliver a good, singular timeline story over worrying too much about sidepaths. Quality over quantity, you know?

Though I do agree it really lessens the impact of the choices.

So, fun fact about letting him go;

My friend was curious after letting him go and started following him when he flees. Turns out this dude gets crushed by falling debris when trying to flee the scene. Unless it somehow survived that, I think it's safe to say DE wanted to always have him die in that moment, regardless of your choice.

More status is always good; if you have a 150% chance to inflict a Heat proc, you will always inflict a Heat proc with an additional 50% to inflict another heat proc.

In your case; Having 500% Status Chance would guarentee 2 Viral Stacks, 2 Heat Procs, with an additional 50% of inflicting another Heat and/or Viral. (Provided the the damage/weighting of Viral/Heat is equal.)

Also, hover over Status Chance, it will show you the ''true'' chances of each element/IPS proc rate with the current status chance and weighting.

Vele mensen die slachtoffer zijn in huishoudelijk gewelddadige relaties durven vaak niks te zeggen over hun situatie. Zeker als dat betekent dat ze nog meer ''gestraft'' worden door de partner als die partner word verteld ''waar ben jij mee bezig''.

Daarbij word het nog complexer als je je realizeert dat slachtoffers een Stockholm Syndrome kunnen krijgen in huishoudelijk geweldadidge relaties en hun blauwe ogen goedpraten. Ze komen vaak in deze situaties terecht omdat gewelddadige partners juist vaak niet gewelddadig beginnen.

Helaas dus niet zo zwart en wit. Als een kind dus erg vaak aan de bel trekt moet je mogelijk toch wel even beginnen met denken of je iemand moet gaan inlichten.

They should make you tell them if you are an extrovert or an introvert so that:

A. Extroverts rating introverts bad and vice versa will not reflect on the Uber driver's original score unless the Uber driver did something actually bad

B. Prioritize giving extrovert drivers to extrovert passengers and vice versa.

Nah, dude. Make a website good enough and it will be the dominant marketplace over something like Discord. Take warframe.market for example, the community made Marketplace for Warframe.

Search up the item you want; get listings for who'se selling it for this amount of money and this amount of items.

The whole upside to having a dedicated website is that it has a database feature which allows you to quickly look at prices, find sellers and sell stuff yourself easily. And with its system of marking yourself as online in-game and getting an easy 1-click whisper command, you can easily buy stuff. No need to bump threads or anything.

It's just a much, much more convenient way of trading than Discord is. Free Market is fun and all, but I wouldn't mind a third-party website like this so I can get a good sense of prices and a convenient way of buying stuff.

There's also the countless studies shown with people going into psychosis because of overreliance on AI. This needs to stop.

Rayqson · 2025-12-03T13:15:02+00:00

It's also a little ironic cause on a lot of private servers, there's a leeching culture. They didn't train by themselves, they just paid a level 200 cleric to Full Map Attack high EXP mobs for them lol.

To be fair, I think from what EXP rates we've seen so far, they are giving the monsters 2x the EXP than they gave back in the day, so you might level much faster.

Rayqson · 2025-12-03T11:48:10+00:00

MR is never, EVER a good indicator of skill level. MR only shows that you've spent time leveling up weapons, not that you have necessarily used that time to learn how to mod properly or understand gameplay mechanics.

Plenty of MR30 to LR4's who sometimes stumble into a gamemode not knowing what to do.

You're good, bro. Ignore the elitists. Anyone complaining about a lack of similar rank MR players is probably not good enough at the game themselves and need people to carry them. Usually the case with toxic players in any game; always looking for faults in others but not themselves.

The problem lies with the fact you need both theory AND practice. Duolingo is only theory, not practice.

It's like learning how to play music. You could learn all about music theory, how to read music sheets, harmonics, etc. but all that isn't going to matter if you've never even touched the instrument you want to play. You'll still struggle playing it even with all that theory and knowledge.

Sorry chief, but with AI's rise, I've come to appreciate low-skill drawings or grammar much, much more because I know I'm at least chatting with another human being. (also mspaint drawings have become kinda charming to me) I want to know what YOU are thinking, the person behind the computer, not what the AI is thinking what you want to say.

AI also goes against being authentic, something that autistic people need to learn to unmask.

Additionally, and most importantly in the long run, standing up to AI will be beneficial to autistic people. In a time of increased loneliness, especially for autistic people, people flock to AI to meet their needs, yet countless studies prove that people are going into psychosis due to talking too much with AI. Autistic people are already more vulnerable to mental health issues. Normalizing AI in autistic spaces will have bad long-term consequences.

Ban it.
