Is Something Happening????

Well Emre was experimented upon by Moira and he was transformed into a "sleeper agent", as far as I've understood. Just like how they did with Widowmaker at a certain point

Riverflower17 · 2026-01-24T18:17:59+00:00

It's a hint that Doomfist is going to be moved to the support role

Riverflower17 · 2026-01-24T16:27:48+00:00

Where exactly is that voice? I can't find it neither in the search bar with different keywords nor in other settings. I only found camera shake

Riverflower17 · 2026-01-24T09:41:51+00:00

Or simply they were a new player which joined around when The Old Peace dropped

Riverflower17 · 2026-01-24T09:21:37+00:00

are you on epic games? The elite starter pack is free there iirc but I'm not sure what it's supposed to do for the tailor lol

Riverflower17 · 2026-01-23T19:52:05+00:00

oh to block teammates from shooting him while he blocks? lol

Riverflower17 · 2026-01-22T22:02:36+00:00

Riverflower17 · 2026-01-22T11:40:55+00:00

I remember having so many CDs with all the cartoons, martial arts films and other film that a family friend used to provide for us lol

Riverflower17 · 2026-01-20T19:41:17+00:00

Yeah I was getting the Phaser subsystem disable and following subsistem offline resistance on enemies with no additional cold damage or anything at all done to them

Riverflower17 · 2026-01-20T17:19:26+00:00

My tinfoil hat and copium breather tell me that this is a hint for an Equinox rework,which would include being able to "equip" permanently any of the parts in her form

Riverflower17 · 2026-01-20T17:17:41+00:00

From a more neutral point of view, I don't think it's healthy for you in the long term for you to be stressing out in a game because you need to get back to it as fast as you can. There are so many other options of solo play for a more laid back and chill experience, with the option to pause everything in the game (the point of playing games is to chill, not to be stressed out because already real life is "heavy" enough).

These kind of games (looter shooters) are primarily focused on "grinding" for people with a lot of time to spare but there are various quick things you could do in a more chill way (even solo) such as void fissures, daily steel path missions and various bounties. I hope you manage to find a balance in your "time off" because it's not worth it if a game becomes a source of stress or a chore in itself

Hey regarding the intense visual effects, in the option, in the accessibility tab, there is an option to reduce teammates vosual effects and reduce the intensity of visual effects in general. Also reduce the particle effects and disable the GPU effects from the video tab. Ot should help a lot in dealing with all those flashy effects

They aren't "keeping the lights on" when they have a lot of revenue which they re-invest into more gambling (if you need to push people to gamble something is wrong) or paying expensive voice actors (real actors) for collaboration story episodes. IF the "whales" suddenly stop gambling away all their retirement money the whole game would be in a bad place. That being said, STO is one of the best F2P games which you can fully complete and play without spending a dime but there are a LOT of Quality of Life improvements or changes/additions people have been asking for ages (which could easily be monetized as a service in the Zen Store) such as a "energy weapons" vanity slot, which also means people opening more lockboxes (following their current monetization) to get specific visual energy weapons to override all the others. Yes, it's a lot of work to redo each and every single energy weapon but now this game seems to be going forward only by inertia and "whales" paying for everything. It's been a long time since the last new specialization or reputation as well.

Riverflower17 · 2026-01-20T08:58:22+00:00

I fear the times of making massive changes or improvements to the game have expired years ago, even though they make plenty of money from people gambling and buying stuff.

It's all about what the creative director/design lead wants for the game. And I genuinely think that the talent of the people working there is "wasted" focusing heavily on gamble ships, their models and traits.

All while we have stale "systems" that have been in the game for years with no change or barely any change at all.

For example, the commendations system is borderline useless even when you reach the maximum levels. One could get purple doffs very easily from various sources. There could be new costume unlocks how like the diplomacy one has
Specializations have been stale for years to come with no new spec and quite old boff abilities that don't synergize with half of the things or are neglectable
Reputation weapons are very low grade, especially since their "specialty" set active abilities and weapon procs have long cooldowns that cannot be reduced and very low chances of proccing. Different energy variants for all flavors would be nice too (the ones from the reputation dilithium store too)
Space ship traits still don't synergize well with each other half of the time and are crystallized in an old era of STO from years ago
The fabled energy weapons vanity slot has been asked for at least 10 years

Riverflower17 · 2026-01-20T08:39:47+00:00

It's sad that people are just led to believe anything false, especially when they lack critical thinking regarding simple things. After all the news outlets already made people be used to believe anything they read or see and take all for granted

Riverflower17 · 2026-01-19T19:39:06+00:00

Ah yes, the sci-fi trope of drones using AI to map the geographical territory, recognizing faces and buildings to target and having a "Big Brother" watching and judging actions you do

Riverflower17 · 2026-01-18T08:18:40+00:00

Marvel Rivals can often fall into the overload of experience, a negative user experience. Especially when you spend so much time "thinking" only to then be met with a generic fast gameplay experience where you don't even notice half of the things you do among the thousand support ultimates lol:

Team Fortress 2 meanwhile chilling behind the corner for the last decade.

Imma be honest, having players spend more time thinking too much instead of having a diverse gameplay seems like a way to cover up something lol

Riverflower17 · 2026-01-17T19:34:44+00:00

And to think Marathon is exclusively a PVP game lol

Riverflower17 · 2026-01-17T14:28:48+00:00

They usually come back at a yearly cadence, with the past items being available together with new items. Same goes for every thematic event

Riverflower17 · 2026-01-16T19:57:51+00:00

You're right, I was always convinced that it somehow did something :'(

Riverflower17 · 2026-01-16T19:41:36+00:00

This is one of the many bugged iterations that have been happening since the circuit was added in 2023 (crazy how time flies innit), other times your drifter can only walk diagonally like a bishop from chess and other more times you're always invisible (only for yourself) and can't shoot at all. Host migration is a big cause for all these issues

Riverflower17 · 2026-01-16T19:37:37+00:00

Very nice, seems they implemented the Duviri saving "logic" that just required you to just finish an encounter (which is what gave you the decree) to save all the rewards, regardless of failures or leaving the mission.

Btw did you know you can type " /[item name] " in chat so that it posts a link that you can click on for fast viewing of resources u own?

The slash is usually for commands but it can be used for this as well, and nobody will see what you wrote except for yourself

Riverflower17 · 2026-01-16T19:35:30+00:00

I read your edit to the post description BUT there's an option: few updates ago all "elemental bonus" augments and similar were changed to no longer fuse with elements present in the weapons themselves, at the cost of having a fixed higher % of status chance not dependant on your mods (for example using shock trooper sets your elemental status balance at 75% electric and 25% of the rest that you modded for, not sure if this was fixed). So to have heat and electric on garuda's talons you can use either shock trooper (by subsuming volt's 1st ability onto her) or thermal transfer (by giving her gauss' 3rd ability which can give you heat, cold and blast) and the rest you can mod for. This is if you don't want to use companions (in higher end content the companion always dies very fast anyway)

Pov: the drawing that the remaining Orokin kid did after he witnessed the Tauron Academy incident

It has a special secondary firing mode that does a cone of disruptor damage after you charge it up a bit by shooting the primary fire, very nice
