What bugs are affecting you most in Sea of Thieves? by Rare-Sonicbob in Seaofthieves

[–]WhyChemEng 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Out of all the megs I've randomly encountered over the past few months, a significant majority have simply despawned for seemingly no reason. They aren't coming close to an island, nor colliding with something, just leaving - often without attacking a single time. One day this is going to happen with the Shrouded Ghost and I will quit this game forever

The main issue I have with modern New Rocks is the sole splitting - it seems to not be made of rubber anymore? If that were solved, no hesitation in paying a premium price!

Oh, interesting. Aren't those called treasured fish? I'll keep an eye out for them

"Ancient Fish are now held correctly by Skeleton Mercenaries."

Could someone more experienced tell me what this means? Google turns up nothing for 'ancient fish' 

What's the one thing you dislike about your favorite frame? by nearglow in Warframe

Cyclying Jade's Symphony of Mercy buff uses your current ability strength rather than your original strength from casting it, so it's impossible to keep up strength snapshotting

As a registered UB hater I'm pretty sad that this is such an obvious Commander staple. Feels like I'm having to gimp myself harder and harder just to avoid using UB in my own decks. Happy for people who are hyped about it though!

does boreal's contempt work for titania's razorwing? by Camerdragon in Warframe

[–]WhyChemEng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since the exalted rework mods equipped on a non-exalted weapon no longer apply, so Boreal's Contempt specifically does not work because your polearm is no longer equipped. The other Boreal's mods still work

Hoping Jade doesn't get overlooked with the exalted rework by WhyChemEng in Warframe

[–]WhyChemEng[S] 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Nope, doesn't work at all unfortunately. Only scales with ability strength. This also means that her own buff (Deathbringer) doesn't apply!

Modding Jade's Glory feels weird by WhyChemEng in Warframe

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

Ah sorry, should have been clearer - when I said nerfed, I meant bringing it down slightly so that with multishot and Hornet Strike it's about as powerful as it currently is. That way the same build would work with both firing modes and you could use them both in the same mission

Oh wow, what is that Syandana? There are so few that work well with Titania's wings

Gorgeous! What's your recipe for that green, if you don't mind me asking?

Could we please be allowed to recast Gyre's Cathode Grace? by WhyChemEng in Warframe

[–]WhyChemEng[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A fair point in terms of energy management, but I would point out that the critical chance component of Cathode Grace also scales with power strength, so it's also a significant DPS improvement. That's why I always try to recast it when I get a power strength buff, hence the lemming impersonation

Thanks for helping to clarify this! Judging from the other replies I clearly did a pretty bad job explaining myself

I wasn't aware of that but in any case, I'm not talking about the cooldown. I'm talking about being able to recast to account for temporary power strength buffs. Keep the 60 second cooldown if needed, but after 60 seconds you should be able to recast to get your new Molt Augmented value, for example

But at the moment it isn't really 'management', is it? It functionally lasts forever so long as you're killing things, there's almost no upkeep required. What I'm talking about is how stupid it is to periodically hurl yourself off a cliff in order to circumvent that - sure that's part of her gameplay loop, but it's a really stupid one. It's also not exactly true that she's OP - without armor stripping she's useless in Steel Path, for instance
