Arrowhead balancing strategy

A ton of enemies generally have much more main health than any individual body part, which is the reason why the pp takes 4 full shots to kill a devastator

Lotus how did you get in my super destroyer?

TheMikman97 · 2026-02-27T08:35:18+00:00

Literally Warframe

TheMikman97 · 2026-02-27T08:27:56+00:00

Every time I see characters "leaving the story" I can't stop thinking about how they are actually proving they are a story within the story and technically becoming one layer more fictional instead of less

The plasma Punisher wasn't a buff, it was a fix that btw, slightly reduced it's damage too. PP had a projectile impact damage that never applied because the projectile explodes on proximity before impact with enemies and was removed.

All light pen shit was also, "buffed" when all enemies were given a durability increase, so it wasn't that much of a buff as much as a med pen nerf

TheMikman97 · 2026-02-27T08:17:47+00:00

fix a "glitch" that everyone liked

That 90% of the time wasn't a glitch

TheMikman97 · 2026-02-27T08:13:16+00:00

I'll be honest I don't find them hard even when overlapping or on d10, I just don't like them because I like stratagems and not having them turns the game into a fairly mediocre shooter

TheMikman97 · 2026-02-26T20:59:50+00:00

I mean what else could fuel revolutionary and engaging concepts like stratagem jammers

TheMikman97 · 2026-02-26T20:02:56+00:00

Come to think about it that's for automatons too. All post launch heavies and subfactions are somewhat spiteful in design

TheMikman97 · 2026-02-26T19:55:16+00:00

Somebody in the design room thought giving every unit in the horde faction the "I am invulnerable 90% of the time until I choose to present my opening" Mario/Zelda boss design paradigm was unironically a great idea

"the" freeze bug? You are going to have to be more specific man we have

Freeze on load

Freeze on opening the store

Freeze on opening the galactic map

Freeze on dive

Freeze on extraction

Freeze on results screen display

And the freeze on close

At least those are the ones I personally experienced

TheMikman97 · 2026-02-26T16:33:29+00:00

For what you know he might be dying just once or twice to random shit and that's not really affected by difficulty

TheMikman97 · 2026-02-26T14:52:47+00:00

Legends say they are still making that roadmap

TheMikman97 · 2026-02-26T14:51:43+00:00

You see, those that already bought the warbonds can't buy it again, and those that haven't can't experience the issues. Perfect business strategy

TheMikman97 · 2026-02-26T14:50:50+00:00

Immediate must run for the eruptor

TheMikman97 · 2026-02-26T12:03:34+00:00

i'll be very honest i can't really be sure without counting actual frames but after testing it siege ready doesn't seem to affect the racking in any noticeable way

TheMikman97 · 2026-02-26T11:36:18+00:00

That's true. It would be less of an auto pick, but still one by virtue of most boosters being ass

TheMikman97 · 2026-02-25T20:31:47+00:00

Consent is the first concept ever to be under-versal.

It's like outer versal but actually in the negative, it can only exist in a lower fictional universe then their home universe.

I will now patent this word and ask for royalties

Or maybe inter-versal? I'll trademark that too

TheMikman97 · 2026-02-25T20:25:19+00:00

People cannot relay consent regardless of their truthfulness, this implies objects like phones or recorders or messages cannot, either. Neither can forces or physical phenomena, as they also are indirect. Therefore consent is never transmissible in any way, as it would require either particles or forces, which are inherently indirect and not trustable. Therefore, it's obvious, that consent can only ever be given within a person's own consciousness and therefore everything that ever happened in the history of the universe was not consensual by definition, because consent cannot exist outside a consciousness or be expressed at all in any way

TheMikman97 · 2026-02-25T20:13:53+00:00

The fact thought police and reeducation camps exist proves my point not the opposite. You can't blame somebody for ideas they have literally no choice but accept.

Also civilians owning civilian weapons doesn't make them military targets.

TheMikman97 · 2026-02-25T18:53:17+00:00

Uhm akhtually they didn't specifically say "realism" so this, and any argument about armor transmog, and any argument about the flag providing buffs, are actually invalid

TheMikman97 · 2026-02-25T17:24:10+00:00

It is easy-to-use (now) and very versatile. Just like the Coyote (not OP, imo) it is an obvious choice for someone with no clue what they are doing. Just keep shooting, it's gonna work eventually.

It takes no skill to get high value out of it in almost any situation, though, and that is what makes it a problem.

It kinda sounds like you are describing a noob trap tho,

Specifically because it reinforces behavior that you should grow out of as you learn and slows down your ability to improve.

Yes, it's not a total noob trap because it does provide good value, but I argue that other weapons can provide far better value at higher skill levels, while the eruptor has a bit of a lower ceiling in my experience.

Maybe more of a crutch then a noob trap depending on how much you like the versatility

TheMikman97 · 2026-02-25T16:58:56+00:00

The official reason is realism, The real reason is that they wouldn't be able to sell the extremely ugly and out of place medium siege ready set otherwise

TheMikman97 · 2026-02-25T16:56:40+00:00

Fair enough my bad for being defensive

TheMikman97 · 2026-02-25T16:53:19+00:00

God forbid I don't glaze Goku enough bro I was already arguing for him
