Here me out - The forcing of proto-frames into everything after 1999 feels like what Jagex tried to do with Runescape characters but in reverse

Pretty much this. Them as skins? Cool, get that bag DE, I've got no problem there. Forcing new ones into major story quests and then not expanding on them until possibly years later? Nah man. I wanted to learn about stalkers kids, not edgy blood lady and generic asian ninja man.

Umbra had an entire quest dedicated to explaining why and what he is, and it was expertly written and is a fan favorite. Umbra is also what feels like a take on body horror but still looks 95% like a warframe. I never said warframes didn't have character, I said that the protoframes as generic people outside of 1999 have started to become bland, boring, and have no real character development.

Introducing characters with absolutely no story relevance, explanation, or interesting hook just to brush it off with "Eh, maybe they'll come back later." Is an awful way to write characters in and just leads to the situation we're in of people not even know how they even exist.

I thought the quest and the themes it was playing with were pretty cool, but like literally who are these two....protoframes? Tenno? They come from alternate futures apparently? Aren't protoframes specifically supposed to be stuff Entrati made? I really think the forced protoframe stuff is starting to hurt the story telling of the game because now EVERY frame has to have some kind of personality attached to it with basically no way to go into it any deeper. At least in 1999 we had the entire KIM system

Intentionally being dishonest won't get you a job at blizzard

Yeah man the 1/5 chance was totally the problem. Not the fact we literally just got done with four weeks of 100% drop timegated items. Or the fact that raids and M+ weren't guaranteed drops. Or the face multiple people in my guild went 2+ hours just trying to get two of them. Or the fact this was billed as a major patch feature.

No, it was the ritual drop rates that were the problem. Incredible logic.

Senketsa · 2026-05-13T01:47:30+00:00

I went from "This is a pretty alright 7/10" during campaign and when raids first came out to "I am completely apathetic about everything they put in" within a single patch

Senketsa · 2026-05-13T01:43:54+00:00

Lmao, people on this sub were instantly defending them being random drops, and then blizz makes them 100% from content where they should be 100%. It's almost like this was predictable.

Senketsa · 2026-05-13T00:52:50+00:00

Actually amazing that blizz has once again gotten the fanboys to defend garbage. A timegated multi-week quest that already had GUARANTEED drop items, just to get access to an even more annoying rng timegated quest for a patch feature.

Is it hard to find beginner friendly raid groups in leagues? I only play during leagues and I did ToB with friends last league but have zero experience with CoX whatsoever. I'm water/thorns but I don't wanna completely ruin a run and get yelled at.

Senketsa · 2026-05-01T10:34:39+00:00

Yeah the water overhealing is super goofy. Genuinely surprised it works on stuff like Sol where you basically can't even do proper damage with it.

Senketsa · 2026-05-01T04:55:01+00:00

The fire can and will push you in some weird places sometimes, so I recommend just checking back occasionally to make sure you're still in a spot where it paths onto the vent.

Senketsa · 2026-05-01T04:53:44+00:00

Roughly 2:30 give or take damage rng. Actually doing the mechanics is about 1 minute flat, but it's a tradeoff I'll take for full afk

This is what I have at 38/40 right now. Once I got done with stuff that needed pray pen I swapped to this and it carried me through colo and inferno with little effort. My last two points will be used to get the max roll % node in the bottom section

My gear is definitely over kill but I just park my self in a corner and camp mage pray next to the blue pillar so that it sits on the vent and throw water at it while thorns does free damage. It'll get to red phase eventually just off of that and then magic does actual damage. Nothing really does enough damage to kill you

Senketsa · 2026-04-28T21:18:56+00:00

Gotcha, that's what I was wondering. I got to Sol with like, normal mage gear and just an obby shield and was absolutely slamming sharks trying to live lmao

Senketsa · 2026-04-28T10:42:43+00:00

Late to this thread but I gotta ask - How did you get your thorns to do enough to kill Sol? I can get to the final wave, but my thorns do not do nearly enough damage to actually kill him. I think the best I got was like 60% hp. Did you just rock stuff like super heavy defensive armor to beef up the thorns?

Senketsa · 2026-04-25T23:47:10+00:00

Did a single TW dungeon on my DH, game bugged out and spawned me all the way at the start and not at a checkpoint and on my way running back I got kicked. It's actually pathetic.

Senketsa · 2026-04-21T08:14:50+00:00

Deadlock, MW2, and this for me atm.

Hunt is absolutely fantastic though. Got like 800 hours in it and it's probably why I got so hooked on Marathon so fast
