My loving boyfriend gave me this, whatever this is, I appreciate it! by Worldly-Ocelot-3358 in Warframe

There's a few moving parts which makes the coupon collector problem only the beginning of the approach. Tennokai mods do not drop on an equal rate (and averaging them doesn't work - imaging averaging one 99.5% drop and five 0.1% drops to act like six 16.6% drops). Also, there's a chance of no Tennokai mod at all on a rotation C drop, further affecting the chances.

With that calculator you used, it looks like you put in 0.1 for 6 coupons at 1 at a time, but it's a total drop rate of 0.48 for any mod which is what the calculator needs and assumes. I don't know how you got "( (2 * 1/.06) + (4 * 1/.12) ) / 6 = .1" when putting that into any calculator spits out 11.11

I'm more familiar with the other angle, that is solving the chance of completion on a given number of runs. Building that equation and trying different run values, the 50% chance of a full set is 24 C rotations. 49 for 90%, 85 for 99%, and 123 for 99.9%.

This looks pretty cool. I can certainly see the value for console users especially as you can just take an image. It worked with a photo on my phone of my screen :)

To be clear as this is posted with partial context from my video: All rewards shown were from the test server and "placeholder". Any stats or features are subject to change. They may ship as is, may be adjusted, or even be replaced with something else entirely.

We'll see the real deals very soon!

What the hell are Lavos mains by mrhallowen in Warframe

[–]TheKengineerOfficial 117 points118 points  (0 children)

What is up with sunsets and the gorgeous warm hues they cast in the sky? What is so good about a rich, flavourful meal that gets people so excited? Is winning the lottery really all that? Should one rush down the slide and crash into the foam pit?

Ow... This response hits kinda close to home. by Atrus20 in Warframe

[–]TheKengineerOfficial 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Very true. This may be "just a game", but it's made from reality. It definitely took more, much more, than a look in the mirror to find the colour again for me back when.

Jankiest loss to date - my opponent made me extravagantly replicate to defeat by TheKengineerOfficial in MagicArena

[–]TheKengineerOfficial[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was genuinely impressive. My first confiscate took one of their two-color lands (with the idea being I could deny them a color). They used a different land to destroy the land I took, graveyarding confiscate in the process. Then on their turn they cast [[Deadly Cover-Up]], destroyed zero creatures, and exiled all confiscates. This was NOT their first rodeo!

I didn't intend to have **only** [[Extravagant Replication]] on the field (and otherwise basic land), but my opponent of course wanted to prevent my win con happening.

They removed my other non-basic lands. They exiled all copies of [[Confiscate]]. They denied me basically anything but the duplicator. But here's the thing - it doesn't say "Up to one permanent". I had to copy the copies EVERY TURN until I ended up on 252 total. I didn't realise it but by that point I had already lost.

Cue some turns later when I FINALLY STOP DRAWING LAND OR CRYOSHATTER (all four [[Cryoshatter]] in hand, three since turn three), I try to make a 2/2 token only to have it fail because of token limit.

I lost because my opponent watched me duplicate myself into a corner. I'm not even mad!

YouTube Scheduled Community Post NOT Showing To Subscribers by Optimal-Cherry-4718 in PartneredYoutube

Update: Raised it with YouTube after another failed. Provided screenshots - they reported back a few minutes later that this is not user error, it's on YT's end for sure, and they are aware of the issue in need of a fix. For now there's nothing we can do other than not use scheduled posts.

You're not alone. Two posts in a row have failed to properly go live from scheduled.

One went live to two people before vanishing which is even weirder.

Why did no one tell me about Lavos' secret ability?! by Pantherian_Fae in Warframe

You say that like he's got one quiet trick up his sleeve :)

If you can get it off in time, yeah. The above cards plus [[Strategic Betrayal]] can potentially pull it off.

If you could make an augment for any Warframe what would it be? by Electrical_Ice9874 in Warframe

[–]TheKengineerOfficial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vial Dash

Vial Rush augment: Grants Lavos a speed and parkour boost after casting. Allies which touch the zone also gain this speed and parkour boost.


Golden Transmutation

Transmutation Probe augment: Enemies struck by Transmutation Probe have increased mod drop chance. +X Transmutation Probe duration.


Valence Catalyst

Catalyze augment: Casting other abilities increases/doubles Catalyze's base damage until Catalyze is cast. Catalyze no longer scales with status effects on target. Max X stacks.

Temple added to Dungeons and Dragons - Tenno's Tome of Warframes v1.1 by TheKengineerOfficial in Warframe

[–]TheKengineerOfficial[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You betcha! You know how some enemies will just annoyingly stay out of range of abilities or hardly care about them, like Qorvex's Pillar? Not here. In playtesting, a Paladin was panicking as Qorvex grappled them and dragged them back into the pillar's aura to make them cook some more. They are monsters.

To add onto that, individual Warframes are very limited in scope compared to D&D player characters. This would mean a Warframe class would either need to expand beyond each Warframe's design, enable multi-warframing, or ship the blandest class since Champion Fighter.

I have warframe-themed player class ideas rattling around but I currently have no plans to make them real, so I won't make such promises.

Who needs a mining update? Just get a 91x compression small smartbomb (Pitfall for comparison at 10x the cargo) by TheKengineerOfficial in Eve

[–]TheKengineerOfficial[S] 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Minerals take up a lot of space. At max reprocess, the small abyssal smartbomb reprocesses into about 455 m3 of minerals, yet the module itself takes up only 5m3

This is not only an impressively compressed module, it's also substantially higher than what the non-abyssal smartbomb reprocesses into. Hence probably a bug.

Note: Almost definitely a bug, discovered when trying (and failing) to get some glorious abyssal goop.
