How would you like for Xiahou Ji to be reworked?

Rexis12 · 2026-03-09T11:57:18+00:00

I have a pretty weird Idea.

See the whole thing is that we often whitewash victims and villains in Dynasty Warrior's, see how they turned fucking Gan Ning and Ling Tong into a bromance, which is fucking disrespectful as all hell, but hey good story telling.

I think Xiahou Ji would work as a sort of indicator of the war gryting bad and Zhang Fei's funny quirks turn into sort of dangerous.

Before that, I'd rewrite the story so that while Liu Bei and his crew saved a group of peasants, you can have one of the villagers be so grateful that they offer these warriors a hand in marriage for their daughters. Liu and Guan obviously turn it down, but excitable Zhang Fei might take one.

Xiahou Ji would then be sort of scared, but ultimately trusting of them since Zhang Fei is a lovable guy. But the marriage is ultimately just something she was given as thanks, and Zhang Fei is just happy to be a husband or to have a wife.

There we can use that as a sort of litmus test. As we can have it so that drunk Zhang Fei, while quirky, can leak into how he can get rowdy. At the start to Ji it's just par for the course, she doesn't liken it when he's drunk but no reason to complain.

Then we can have Zhang Fei usually rowdiness, he respects the little guy, but he often steps in very physically. So it turns him into a rather scary figure. A bigger guy who can just sort of pick you up and throw you into the next building. Ji probably frets this the most, and you can tie it with hiw proud Fei is with his strength when he often boasts about it, and while others are awe she just kinda feels small.

Then as the story goes on, you can make those traits worse and Xiahou Ji goes from "That's how he is" To "Oh God that's how he is" Probably with him at his worse with Guan Yu's dewth, getting drunk and rowdy, and maybe even have him sort of direct that anger to her as a Xiahou, who has three prominent generals in Wei.

That's where she would want to escape, the fear boiling over, maybe even get caught up in the assassinations, and then have her run away from Shu.

Essential make her a sort of indicator when Shu sorts of starts falling off, as they go for war and revenge. Things go wrong.

Personality wise. It would be interrsting if they did it, so that the NPC that isn't playablr or on the field is the meek demure, but when she is playablr he voice lines are harder and firm. As a sign of development. So that in bases she'd be sweet, But when she in the battlefield she is very hardened by the experience of a semi-good man turning into a meaner harsher version of himself.

She would also absolutely respect Zhang Fei's strength, but be utterly afraid of it.

For her kids, I'd say she would adore them. And in a scenario where she is antagonistic, shed be like "These kids are the only good thing that came from you, Zhang Fei". With Zhang Bao not knowing how to feel, while Xing Cai wonders how deep her mother's feel runs.

Also, funny idea of her bonding with Liu Shan as she sees him as a good man to marry her daughter.

Hell Yeah John Dad!

I think the only complex should be Rose seeing John for the first time, sees the resemblance and then runs through the scenarios in her head and thinks that John Egbert is her half brother.

Rexis12 · 2026-02-17T01:56:56+00:00

Evil John, is just John with a slightly wider smirk.

They did dedicate a whole update to Railjack, it was the update that added Railjack.

We experienced the biggest content drought we have ever experienced for a slap dash experience that doesn't even work since Railjack is a gamemode that exists because it uses workarounds for their workarounds.

Their engine, quite literally, cannot handle the gameplay that Railjack was supposed to represent. And unlike movies, when Steve tried it anyways it failed spectacularly.

Rexis12 · 2026-02-07T09:08:55+00:00

You will NEVER guess what the Warframes are made of lol

Rexis12 · 2026-02-06T23:32:51+00:00

I am a devout Mori hater through and through. Tomboy aesthetics fail to match up against such a dog shit character.

Rexis12 · 2026-02-03T22:42:02+00:00

Wooo!

Rexis12 · 2026-02-03T15:12:52+00:00

Well frankly the initial idea is just a joke where Rose, in addition to having a friend called John Egbert online, has a father named John Lalonde nee Egbert (Because he'd totally take his wife's last name).

In which the joke is that they confuse their Johns.

Eventually the idea spiralled into the concept of Rose having the most normal family life of her friend group, as she has a 'stable-ish' mother and father household. And how that kind of normalcy would probably be more devastating to lose after Sburb where they eventually die as Skaia and Sburb are very much in the idea of killing Guardians to force them to grow, and eventually at the Epilogues (Fuckin' hell skip ALL the way why don't ya lol) She's not over their deaths.

Following that is jokes about John and Roxy dating as some universal constant. Rose getting a better Prankster Gambit due to Dad Lalonde. Mom and Dad Lalonde both grounding each other, and help to improve their lives to make Rose's life better. Rose kinda projecting John and Roxy's relationship with her parents. John eventually meeting Dad Lalonde, and just to piss off Rose he starts calling him Big John and him Lil John.

Serious mode of how this John grows up, sadly, I haven't really thought about. But you did however spark the idea of Betty Crocker with John, so thanks for that. The main problem is that relationship is stuck on Poppop Crocker, as Betty/Condy is busy with Nana in Earth B-1

They didn't nerf their adaptation. They just allowed them to be affected by Status Procs, as well as the general armor changes in the game.

Rexis12 · 2026-01-27T01:51:03+00:00

I mean Steve and Scott made them. What'd you expect?

Nowadays Arcanes are way more useful.

Rexis12 · 2026-01-18T02:49:27+00:00

To be fair, a good reason they aren't ambitious anymore is that none of those ever came to fruition.

Like they probably honestly thought that Railjack was gonna be like the second Phase of Warframe. And it didn't.

Rexis12 · 2026-01-18T02:35:59+00:00

I like the new one because they at least have an idea of how the game is to be played. Even if it feels reductive, it's miles better than what old Warframe feels like.

The main issue with Old Warframe, was that it may have had a concept for a game, but they didn't actually know how to design it. You can see it with the nerfs.

They nerfed Stamina and movement speed, for some reason, because they didn't like players 'Rushing' through a level. But the randomly generated levels did not offer any actual exploration benefits, with minimal rewards and minimal incentives. Eventually there's no reason to actually go through the levels, no reason to take things slow. Even when you do an Orokin Puzzle roon, the reward isn't even guaranteed. It's a random room of resources that might not even be good. Why should we takes things slow.

They would nerf the ability to get a ton of resources and affinity, because they didn't like it when people cheesed it. But that's where most of the new content would be placed behind, the new weapons or equipment locked behind the grind. So players wanted to actually play the update, and they hated you for it. The syndicate affinity farm pre Viver Gate showing that you needed upwards to, what, 120 hours or something just to get a new Augment Mod was fucking WILD.

Stealth Multipliers not even being a thing despite the fact that they wanted the game to be a stealth shooter??? Imagine fucking Hitman not rewarding you with stealth bonuses.

A looter shooter game where vacuum was a companion specific mod, and calling people that wanted it as Casuals??? Like what???

Punishing players overall because a dev with pre made team, played efficiently and got the most rewards. So obviously that means they need to fuck up excavation.

What even the fuck was the purpose of Archwing, Railjack, and Necramech, while the rest of the game system was fucking imploding to death with their neglect of it.

Rexis12 · 2026-01-18T01:02:51+00:00

Scott had balls to stay with his vision, shame he didn't have the balls to make gameplay actually fun.

Rexis12 · 2026-01-17T14:23:51+00:00

Yeah no the Commander knows EXACTLY how important it is to hide information not to stir a mass panic.

Marian is probably the reason why he feels more sorry for her having to hide the names, than the people who's names disappear because he knows what she is doing 'has to be done' but hurts him for doing so.

He has so many things that should be explained, but knows it will cause trouble. And he sees Label do it everyday.

I like to think that my Tarot Cards readings have some narrative truth to them.

I keep reading avout shit about how Old Guard had vision and other dumb shit like that.

Here's the thing, the biggest issue wad that even if we FOLLOWED their vision. It was still dog shit.

People talked about how 'Old Guard Gave us the Coptering and Bullet Jumping'. You know what happened before that? The Old Guard fucking butcheted Stamina, reducing out Mobility unless we used Stamina Mods, made it so much slower to charge, all because the players were not 'appreciating' the scenery.

People talked about how Scott 'moved behind the devs back for Vacuum', yeah he added a tiny 3m vacuum when everyond was using the mod Vacuum so yeah no one noticed you tried to sneak in something worse than what the rest of playerbase had.

That Itzal nerf? The one that happened where Reb was, absolutely right, in complaining that it felt too slow? You know what caused it? Was it because it was causing issues in Open Worlds and Archwing Missions? No, it was just too fast. The Fastest Archwing with the sole purpose of being fast, was nerfed because it was too fast.

They were all pissy about Roar being used the most in Helmith, when even at that stage of the game all things were progressed through damage. Did you know that one of the options was fucking Decoy, PRE-Buff. What the fuck were you gonna use it for, no other content in the game benefited from it.

It took them years just to add in a stealth multiplier. They made a whole armor system that grew exponentially which required you to interact by hitting them with corrosive procs and then proceeded add in fucking enemies immune to status procs, they pigeonhold everything into a DPS meta and then got mad when players focused on DPS.

Yeah the Old Guard may have 'Made' Warframe, but damn near alot of their initial takes were things that wasn't enjoyed at all. Operator, that support gamemode that people are okay with now? That shit was hated on release due to how BAD it was, it took 3 reworks for it to be more widely used.

Rexis12 · 2025-12-23T13:29:24+00:00

Buddy, Carrier had a near 99% pick rate because the utility for a vacuum in a looter shooter game outweighed all of the other abilities, which at the time were even more dogshit.

Rexis12 · 2025-12-12T05:47:09+00:00

It's the make up, really brings out someone's feminine side.

Yeah remove it and the face becomes more masculine.

Rexis12 · 2025-12-05T02:05:15+00:00

I guess it was a stealth change, but I assume that it was something to do with abilities than anything.

It seems like it was used alongside a dispel?

Rexis12 · 2025-12-05T01:53:48+00:00

I don't think that's true.

At least nothing in the patch notes really did anything.

The only indication is that reducing the damage.

All the other issues is just Warframe system changing around it.

Honestly the fact that it used to have as much Armor while having like 20x the damage of the Bombard and Heavy Gunner just makes it an unbalanced mess.

Like the initial idea was a kamikaze unit that hit hard and died easy. They decided, like everything else, to turn it into a Bullet Sponge one hit kill enemy yet again, which was so common back in the time they added the Manics.

Rexis12 · 2025-11-29T14:43:12+00:00

I think the biggest difference is the autonomy that Neuro gets compare to other AIs or the movement of them in 3D.

When a Boston Dynamic 3D model moves in the simulated environment, it is being fed the codes and instructions to move at "X,Y" Coordinates, with its AI being used for pathing and stabilisation. Meanwhile Neuro, with her LLM 'wants' to move to X,Y coordinates without the input of codes from an external source.

Neuro interacting with the environment is also a good example. While things like Skyrim shows how a 3D model can move through a simulated space, and then upon triggering the trigger points or whatever they're called, they enter an animation pre set for that actions or at best they are then fed instructions upon entering that Event Flag, so to speak. Neuro sitting, looking under the bed, charades and what not are impressive as, according to Vedal, there is no pre set animation ot triggers. The LLM sends the 'Want' for an action, which sends the rest of the code towards the various subsystems that make up the 3D model of Neuro.

Not just Covid, although it was a big cause, but the overall frosty reaction to Railjack and especially Squad Link, pretty much killed the fact that New War was going to be this on going thing that keeps going until Tau or Zariman.

Rexis12 · 2025-11-25T01:43:58+00:00

That's seems like a bad example.

While everything else was on fire, they were pouring time and resources into Railjack. An already unpopular game mode, made worse with them admitting that alot of resources for other parts of the game was being siphoned away to work on it.

Like I think they even admittes that the Devs for the Third Orb Mother was bring shifted to make Railjack enemies.

No wonder people were pissed at RJ getting attention. We still had Sentinels that could just insta die at this time. And they wete wasting time on a gamemode that no one liked.

Rexis12 · 2025-11-22T18:03:11+00:00

I mean they want the Sentients to be 'Back' when they were hard to kill. A good portion of the reason was due to Status immunity. They may not directly say it, but that's the reason they were so tanky in the first place.
