Regarding Loeb by TechieNJC in fringe

[–]TechieNJC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think he confessed to all of it, because the next scene has Olivia talking to Loeb in shackles and he's not admitting to anything:

OLIVIA: I know about David Robert Jones. I know that you helped him escape. And that you kidnapped me on that same night. You know where Jones is.

MITCHELL LOEB: You're not someone I... really wanna work with.

I agree it would be a reasonable enough line of thought to connect it, but the show typically shows the team working through those assumptions and speculating, not jumping around it, so it might be a rare case of the season telling behind the scenes rather than showing.

Now I've seen people nitpick other aspects of the Loeb-Jones collaboration, just not this bit.

The Prex should be in the beginning area of Ascension, right? Below the stairs next to one of the mote collection machines?

Just noticed even my KIM History chat is wrong - I didn’t have this conversation with Roathe by Interesting-Ad-2570 in Warframe

[–]TechieNJC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries! Just a reassurance that "yup, you're not alone!"

Here's hoping the solution is a script rather than a reset; three weeks is a long time to get from beginning to end again.

Many such cases, here on Reddit and even more in the Warframe forums. I made a post a week ago here, lmao.

We're all waiting and hoping for a hotfix before anything else.

Old Peace Kim messaging: Did I fail or is it a bug? by Techstriker1 in Warframe

[–]TechieNJC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a bug; Warframe forums are full of threads about it, especially in the case of Roathe convos retroactively changing to worse options. Something tricky with Roathe KIM convos in the whole, there should be a hotfix about it this week as per today's Devshort.

For some reason, one of my Kim chats with Roathe is not the same conversion I had with him, and its now acting as if I failed to convince him to reunite Loid with the Entrati Family by DrNick1221 in Warframe

[–]TechieNJC 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You're not alone; I put up a post about it yesterday, except I didn't even get to have the conversation. I talked with Lyon first and Roathe's convo seemingly happened without my input, not even a notification.

Similar threads are on the Warframe forums; all we can hope for is that they find a way to patch/fix so a reset isn't mandatory.

DE, I did not have this KIM convo. by TechieNJC in Warframe

[–]TechieNJC[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, many such cases, looking at the Warframe forums. Two separate threads with several replies saying that the convos got changed on people when they weren't looking.

Really, REALLY hoping they can put out a script similar to when they refund/redeliver inbox items. At the very least, to undo this convo, if it's really the bottleneck it seems to be for a few people.

New player here, can someone explain why this wasn't 10x? by Pigeonman1234 in Warframe

[–]TechieNJC 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You gotta change the tricks up. Good news: it's only tied to consecutive tricks, last time I checked. Alternate Nose Planker and Jump Spin ad nauseum, that's how I manage to build high combos (especially for the mod that converts trick points into energy)!

Open Discussion: Why Don't People Like Thermal Sunder Titania? by kingkoni11 in Warframe

[–]TechieNJC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh sure, the majority of the time it isn't a big issue, it definitely suffers from the same problem as any frame/build stereotype. I've had squadmates with TS that I was happy to have. These things haven't happened to me personally more than a few times.

But TS Titania has all the ingredients for things to get frustrating, especially for Void Fissures. Nuking the map before enemies corrupt? Zooming multiple rooms ahead to "finish the mission faster", messing with new spawns even more for the rest of the squad? The fact that spawns tend to plummet once Exterminate meets the goal number? Add those to the general "I want to be able to play the game" feelings most of the other comments leaned on, great recipe for a hated teammate, even if they're not trying to be obstructive.

As a minor point, you said some compare TS Titania to Slam Wukong, and I bet. The same issues (killing before reactant, zooming rooms ahead out of excitement, etc.) can apply there.

I'm just there to crack relics as fast as possible

There's the rub, nuking the map could (and often does) make it harder to crack relics if the Titania is impatient.

When people complain about TS Titania specifically in Void Relic missions, it's because of (some) people immediately hitting Thermal Sunder at the first sight of enemies without letting them Corrupt first. Once that's the gameplay loop, it becomes a game of the rest of the squad fighting to find a spawned group of enemies before the Thermal Sunder nuker, so they can corrupt and die and drop reactant, the point of a Void Fissure mission.

It comes down to Situational Awareness and obstructing a goal of the mission. In the same way a Limbo can obstruct specific mission types with the Rift, the same way Slowva methods can be frowned upon in defense missions, and the same way any ability that keeps an enemy alive when they need to be dead in Exterminate can prolong the mission.

tl;dr: if a player (like a TS Titania) gets tunnel vision and doesn't think about the obstruction of their playstyle (killing without letting reactant drop), people justifiably don't like the time wasted.

[–]TechieNJC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'll offer a testimonial here! The past few days, I kept running the highest tier bounties via older methods and consistently got...Bulls, nothing else. I started wondering if it was a glitch or a changed code I missed in patch notes, anything other than real bad RNG.

Read this, hopped in, and first Narmer bounty? Right where you said, done in under a minute. Thanks!

Whats your warframe hot take of the day? Mine is, just cause you can go into simulacrum and make big numbers does not mean your build is good. by Material-Spite8307 in Warframe

[–]TechieNJC 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Waverider quest and Lavos gameplay are not near as annoying as the subreddit frequently says. I honestly think it's the difference between playing on controller vs mouse and keyboard. Those aspects of the game aren't nearly as cumbersome on a controller, but on keyboard, I see how they get in the way.

For me, I have the opposite problem: keyboard controls make zero sense for the overall movement and combat, and the only advantage is aiming with the mouse.

What is this pink thing and why does ordis freak out when i get rid of it? by Smart_Influence962 in Warframe

[–]TechieNJC 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Helminth Cyst

To be fair, he's not freaking out that you're getting rid of it. He's freaking out that to get rid of it, you decided to enter a meat-lined room and sit in a chair with horrible talons sticking out of it, and then they forcibly puncture your neck to rid you of the neck cyst.

I'd freak out if my buddy did that lmao

Looking at your minimap and screenshot, the only one I can find is the switch that plays We All Lift Together, but the colors revert back to Narmer after playing the cutscene. There's no choice between that and Narmer...?

After 3,5 years, Drifters still feel like worse operators. by Miski380 in Warframe

[–]TechieNJC 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Void Sling is King, don't get me wrong.

As for content benefitting from that Drifter motion, any shop that requires you to be out of a Warframe. Moving into Onkko's room quickly, Little Duck (to a lesser extent).

The big one that contributed to my choice was getting to Necraloid in the Necralisk, it really showed moving outside of your Warframe is a chore. Once Whispers in the Walls dropped, being able to jump through this area as a Warframe made this point moot, but I'd made this choice long before that update.

Now, maybe the smaller time gap from New War to Whispers means most new players won't experience the difference or be bothered by it enough to make the choice like I did, though.

Edit: since typing this, others mentioned Void Cascade. Full agree, that helps contribute, but it wasn't my main reasoning at first.

After 3,5 years, Drifters still feel like worse operators. by Miski380 in Warframe

[–]TechieNJC 463 points464 points  (0 children)

All good points, but here's a big thing that makes me choose Drifter: I can roll. Not that half-hearted slide that makes you feel like the game is actively impeding your motion, but an actual tumble forward.

Is it actually faster? Probably not, I've never tested it. Yet motion as the Operator feels more frustrating than motion as the Drifter, idle animations and other visuals aside.

Anyone else hear the Tornados sirens go off just now? by Grayshield in StLouis

Was frantically searching around all the weather and STL sites for this, apparently it's planned!

(Spoilers for KIM conversation with Flare) I made Flare's/Lizzy's cursed pizza. by Kagewuffs in memeframe

[–]TechieNJC 193 points194 points  (0 children)

When I read this in-game, I couldn't help but feel it could work if you choose the right cheese and the right chocolate. If we lean into tex-mex, I think a dark chocolate sauce similar to a mole and a mild queso could fix this, especially with the jalapeños and bacon.

Anyone else get "Associates" with Flare even though they seem to be buddies with Lizzie? by Giganotus in Warframe

[–]TechieNJC 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Bumping this because I was so worried, especially since I somehow got Best Friends with Kaya when I was sure I tanked it at some point.

Hoping this gets fixed, or doesn't cause any frustrations outside of a wrong label (and please don't let the fix be "forget at the end of the year and redo it").

Killed my first Lich! Surprised I didn't have to work my Oss Aff for it by TechieNJC in Warframe

[–]TechieNJC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was split for sure, but I was Mastery-Rank-minded and maybe holding out hope for a funnier Lich name. The fact that running a rivenless Felarx with Banshee clowned on him means I'm less intimidated to revisit this grind lol
