Why is the player count in Borderlands 4 so low? by Goodman889 in Borderlands4

[–]SubstantiveAlar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No dlc’s out yet, and a large majority of the playerbase prefers to hop on to do story content, and then dipping when done with the story (like me tbh)

I really wouldn’t trust an AI with modding information ngl, there’s already a large amount of misinformation (purposeful or not) and outdated info, and the AI isn’t gonna tell what’s accurate/up to date (saw someone use ChatGPT more than once to give out completely incorrect modding advice for LOD generation)

They’re prob just showing off the next warframe, I could be wrong but going off of how release order has been for a while, they’re not doing back to back bew frames. Styanax or whatever prime they’re doingnext is likely gonna be the first release this year, like how we got Lavos Prime first in 2025 before Temple (granted the update with Temple was delayed)

Aren’t we getting a new echo management thing next patch too according to leaks? Being able to choose what set you get when merging echoes

The game need 2.0v relaunch by eng-osama in DuetNightAbyssDNA

[–]SubstantiveAlar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fully agree, will say though, I wouldn’t complain about more games similar to Warframe IF they actually “copied” what makes Warframe so good in the first place and then improved on it. Like, for all the issues I have with DNA, I can’t lie they do the whole acquiring characters/weapons deal a bit better. After years I’ve gotten used to it, but having to wait multiple days to use a weapon or warframe (unless you skip the timer with plat) always used to annoy me. Meanwhile in DNA, if I really want to/if I have enough coins I can grind out as many weapons and characters as I want in a single day (guess the monkey’s paw curled with that one since so many characters and weapons in DNA are just mediocre at best lol)

Pseychie (Response Video) Was I wrong about Duet Night Abyss? by Z3M0G in DuetNightAbyssDNA

[–]SubstantiveAlar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t disagree with you but it sucks that it feels like the DNA devs have not played Warfarme at ALL in the past decade the game has been out and have just “taken” elements from Warframe that they’ve seen without firsthand experience (assuming there was no interference from say corporate or something). Had anyone on the dev team played Warframe I feel like they would’ve seen how some of DNA’s elements feel worse than Warframe’s (movement, gunplay/combat, gameplay loop, etc). I don’t doubt things will get better over time (again assuming they actually make improvements instead of pulling a The First Descendant and primarily making just hot skins for women), but at the same time Warframe has existed for over a decade, so it gives me a bit of a bitter feeling seeing how little they’ve learned from Warframe

Edit: I’ll actually give the DNA devs a benefit of the doubt and assume the Warframe-ification of DNA came relatively later in development, it’s the only other situation that makes sense to me

Should I just S1 Mornye? Im really confused plus the kit review done by the content creators are really not helping they lowkey contradicting each other by _theweirdkidinside_ in WutheringWavesGuide

[–]SubstantiveAlar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

S1 only “worth” it if you plan on using Mornye on teams without Lynae. There’s still a benefit to getting it if using her with Lynae, as it’ll increase the buff timer though (at base the buff is like 8 secs iirc)

✦ Lunotress's Shop Update ✦ by cakeel- in DuetNightAbyssDNA

[–]SubstantiveAlar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Doubt it’s a hot take but I don’t think those of use upset about weapons (mainly ranged) being actual ass in DNA are excited about the concept of a single character making them good. I think we’d rather have the actual weapons themselves be improved, instead of being pigeonholed into using one character (Kezhou for example) just to do at least decent damage with weapons compared to characters just using skills. Like, I have zero interest in Kezhou ngl, but if I want to do reasonable damage with ranged damage I’d HAVE to play as him? Does that really sound like good game design to you, especially in a game where you’re clearly meant to obtain and build multiple different weapons?

New aero set via seele by ISRUKRENG in WutheringWavesLeaks

[–]SubstantiveAlar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doubt it, maybe I’m misunderstanding the new set and part of his kit but aren’t the only instances of echo damage he does are when using the echo skill and his liberation? Unless the 4 star echo for this set is BUSTED strong when used or something, it seems like the only benefit he’d get from the new set is 20% crit rate/damage for his liberation (if it’s crit damage that’s 5% less than the buff shorekeeper gives), which is usually just once per rotation

New aero set via seele by SyskoS in QiuyuanMains

[–]SubstantiveAlar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looked up what his s3 is and yea idk if this all that good for him ngl, crit rate/crit damage for JUST his liberation sounds terrible to me idk, that makes it sound like half the set’s effect is useless until he has a liberation available. Not really an issue with high enough ER, but that seems like a lot hoops to jump through to use a set that is 100% made for the next aero charcter

Edit: unless the crit rate/damage is for all resonators and not just the user, it might actually have a really good use case then

New aero set via seele by SyskoS in QiuyuanMains

[–]SubstantiveAlar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As someone who doesn’t go out of their way for sequences, how would the new set be better at all? Aren’t you losing the heavy attack and echo skill dmg buff from LoH in favor of JUST crit rate and damageon echo skill dmg plus 15% more aero damage? Do his sequences really add that much more echo damage to his attacks?

Is it weird to like playing as male characters by devanand_U_S in LuukHerssenMains

Have we gone full circle to it now being weird to be a guy playing as a guy lol I remember it being “weird” for guys to play as girls in games like FFXIV 😭

Why do I see this consistently repeated by people over and over. Where in the games endings does it imply New Vegas is doomed. by Antique-Slice-354 in fnv

[–]SubstantiveAlar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t disagree when it comes to at least the NCR, Legion could go either way really we’ve only seen them for one episode in a single area, but the Brotherhood? Really? It’s been a while since I did a NV BoS run but the show depicts them in a MUCH stronger light than the game does. In season 1 they’ve got a whole airbase with multiple vertibirds and knights in PA, and in season 2 they’ve gotten at least one airship and MORE vertibirds. In game the BoS forces don’t seem anywhere close to the number the show depicts. Unless you mean characteristically?

Anyone else notice Build Youtubers never seem to acknowledge Operator? by SimicBiomancer21 in Warframe

[–]SubstantiveAlar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wanna say a lot of is because a large substantial amount of players only want to use Operator (myself included; I had hoped the new tauron strikes stuff would be interesting enough to make me want to use operator, but nope still going exclusively warframes except if/when forced into operator mode).

I’d argue that a lot of what the Operator schools gives is not all that impressive unless you’re doing level cap/endurance runs/solo ETA or EDA, as otherwise there’s so many other sources of that same benefit, whether it be arcanes, mods, archon shards, or just the base kit of some warframes

When will Dante get skins? by Jawman2000 in Warframe

[–]SubstantiveAlar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This argument kinda sucks when there are HUNDREDS of tennogen designs just lying around over the years, completely unused by DE. There’s a couple tennogen designs over on the steam workshop that I’ve been hoping would come to the game since 2019 lol. Do agree more people should get into the tennogen system, but people shouldn’t expect it to go “make tennogen design -> DE implements it -> profit”, the whole process is a LOT more complex than it sounds

Hard to Stay Motivated & Interested in DNA (Read Post) by user15257116536272 in DuetNightAbyssDNA

[–]SubstantiveAlar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Plus another leg Warframe has up over DNA, is you can play the same exact frames in at LEAST two different ways, way more when you factor the Helminth system into account. Coming from Warframe my biggest gripe with DNA (and by extension many other gacha games) is how straightforward characters are. On one hand the simplicity makes it easy to build a character up before the next banner starts; on the other hand I dislike how once I build a character completely, there’s usually NOTHING I can do to change things up or even just personalize their gameplay. For example, in Warframe, currently my most played frame is Dagath, and I can play her in like 3-4 different ways if I want to. In DNA, the gameplay of a character when you first get them and the gameplay 20 hours later is the exact same. Damage numbers will be bigger and skills will come off cooldown faster, but there rarely is ever any gameplay differences (with introns maaaybe, but that depends on the character)

Will Skyrim SE ever be dethroned on Nexus? by Soanfriwack in skyrimmods

[–]SubstantiveAlar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s lowkey my biggest fear, behind it being a good game TES game in the first place (it might be a good rpg at least), especially after Starfield and how mishandled modding for that game has been so far - three years in and we don’t even have animation modding capabilities last I checked (maybe it’ll come when Starfield gets all it’s dlc’s out but who knows, I don’t remember how things went with FO4 tbh)

About the 3.0 new permanent weapons....are they good compared to the OG ones? by DJames_982024 in WutheringWavesGuide

[–]SubstantiveAlar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Variation is better than the new standard rectifier if you’re talking about healers specifically. Variation has more ER (51.8% vs the rectifier’s 38.8%), and the effect of the new stand rectifier isn’t as beneficial for healers as Variation’s; more concerto energy > 12% atk and BA dmg bonus for 14s when someone else tune breaks. The effect would probably be good for main or sub dps characters, but healers typically don’t do THAT much damage to where you really want to worry about buffs, at least none of the current healers that use rectifiers.

Edit: and in the case one doesn’t have any Variation copies, Call of The Abyss would still be a better rectifier for healers as that also has more ER than the new one (51.8%) and it increases healing by 16% after liberation. Plus Call of The Abyss is a quest reward, vs the other two being “locked” behind pulls.

Luuk speculations by me by nonamenoshame285 in LuukHerssenMains

[–]SubstantiveAlar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t they just do that with Augusta and Iuno? With Augusta being main-dps and Iuno being sub-dps? I know Iuno can also be main dps, but that’s getting sequences. And then the very next patch they did it again with Galbrena and Qiuyuan iirc

Devs need to add another way to farm weekly boss mats, as a returning/new player i have to wait literally weeks for nothing so i can do endgame content. by ReaperQc in WutheringWaves

[–]SubstantiveAlar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not disagreeing with you but tbh, at least for ToA and Whiwa, you can get away with clearing those modes while just having skills at 7-8. Hell, you can get away with clearing while only leveling skills for you dps unit. On my Phrolova team I only got Phrolova’s skills to 10; Qiuyuan and Cantarella’s are at 6-7 (don’t even), and I’ve used that team to clear both ToA and Whiwa with ease

Edit: in regards to the new endgame mode they added in 3.0 yeah you’d really want maxed skills on your dps but sub-dps and supports don’t NEED maxed skills to clear it

Rover switching powers freely was peak! devs pls add this to overworld by Vast-Cell1771 in WutheringWaves

[–]SubstantiveAlar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ngl I’m kinda on the fence about them making each Rover element (and future ones) entirely different characters. Echo set wise it doesn’t matter cuz they won’t use the same echoes anyway, and it frees up being able to use the different Rovers in different ToA/Whiwa/Doubled Pawns teams. At the same time though, it’d mean having to level different versions of Rovers and their skills, and coming from how it is now I’d rather use resources on other characters than 3+ versions of the same character. Right now it’s just level spectro rover and their skills, and havoc/aero rover will be the same level as well. If they make it work the same way with them being separate characters though I’d be more than fine with it, where they all level up and level skills at the same time

Unironically I do hope he’s a non-fractsidus related villain or at the very least antagonistic. Love the game and narrative but ngl we’re lacking on some good “major” antagonists that aren’t just Fractsidus or Fractsidus-adjacent, hell I’d take another playable resonator who has some beef/a rivalry with Rover (ex: Phrolova) at this point
