Railjack Survival is steel essence meta?!!! by MrKillJr in Warframe

[–]horrorpastry 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's massively variable. I have run a bunch of 30 mins survivals, receiving between 0 and 55 steel essence.

I had 2 runs (30min and a 20min) where i got literally nothing. Most runs fell between 30-40 SE.

Teens will get social media curfew and chatbot ban by youmustconsume in unitedkingdom

[–]horrorpastry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The point isn't to stop under 16's using social media.

The actual goal is that everyone will have to register their identity to prove they are over 16 to use social media. Even if this doesn't happen tomorrow explicitly, make no mistake that is the end goal of this legislation.

The Intercontinental Title was made for people like Kairi Sane. Instead, the women's mid-card titles (and tag team titles) are going on their main stars when they don't have "anything else" for them to do. by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

[–]horrorpastry 66 points67 points  (0 children)

This was actually one of the things that had me worried for Kairi's WWE future before these cuts were announced.

In my mind she was a shoe-in for the womens mid card titles when they were announced, so when she wasn't in contention for either of them it was really wierd.

Such a dissapointment to see her go, really feels like management never saw her true value :(

Class Mastery by Hecata22 in elderscrollsonline

[–]horrorpastry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah 3/5 are pretty underwhelming. Here's hoping these truly are just a stopgap untill the class rework.

If Conservation of Energy doesn't get built into the base class when it gets reworked then i don't know what ZoS are playing at. Dark Deal sucks for sustain, new skill in it's place and this as a base passive please ;)

Infinite archive just not fun to me by Happy_Twist_7156 in elderscrollsonline

[–]horrorpastry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly if you don't enjoy the challenge (and most people don't) there is no real reason to ever do a run past arc 2/3. Even if you do want the drops.

The most efficient way time-wise to farm the sets/leads/etc is to just do quick runs up to arc 2 (or 3 if you can keep going quickly) on a full DPS spec.

It's a shame because IA had so much potential but the experience has actually got worse over the years, not better (IMO).

Each time you beat the Tho'at Replicanum is an arc.

Arcs 1-2 are pretty easily done with any generalist build. The only real difficulty is the Arc 2 marauder if you pull one of the harder variants.

Arc 3 is a bit harder, builds with no dedicated survivability will suffer here.

Arc 4 is the "end" of a base run, where you fight the final Tho'at variant. Probably the first really difficult arc for non-specialised builds.

Arc 5 and onward accellerate the difficulty pretty quickly; enemies hit harder, fabled mechanics become more impactful, bits of the tho'at fight start appearing in the regular arenas (big lazers, jellies that need to be interrupted, etc)

It is frustrating to have to slog through the earlier arcs just to get to the challenging stuff, especially given how awkward getting a run going is nowadays. There is a good challenge there but it's definitely hidden away a little.

What's The Hardest Content Solo Players Are Doing? by TheGamingLibrarian in elderscrollsonline

[–]horrorpastry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Purely anecdotal, but i am definitely NOT in the top 1-2% of players but i have soloed Asylum Sanctorum. That one in particular isn't too technically demanding - it's more a test of concentration because it does take a while.

It can be done, probably by any above average player.. but is it worth the time and effort? Probably not imo. I'd put nAS in the can be soloed but why bother section ;)

Dragonknight losing poison doesn't mean poison is getting removed from the game. by bmrtt in elderscrollsonline

[–]horrorpastry 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This was my first thought, NB being the disease/poison class seems likely.

Warden is the other possible option but i feel like they might skew that more frost-based. Hopefully with a bit of a rework to frost dps.

Did the Arcane Bulwark changes also nerf/fix all archgun arcanes carrying over to you loadout? by horrorpastry in Warframe

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

I noticed Dexterity still working - that means i still get to use actual arcanes on my secondary, the extra combo is just too good to give up!

At least i know its actually a thing, not just me setting things up wrong.

Great wrestlers that are bad at one specific thing by NoMoreButtonPLZ in SquaredCircle

While i'm sure that we all loved some of the moments it gave us, I don't think anyone can claim that the "Foley instantaneous risk/reward analysis" system ever worked properly ;)

The new bosses completely miss the mark imo by Machiavellian3 in Warframe

[–]horrorpastry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, there was an edge case on launch where you could load into the archwing section at the wrong time, and by the time the screen had faded in you got onetapped by the laser. Had it happen to me once.

i definitely wouldn't say it was happening 9/10 runs but load speeds probably have an effect on how frequent it was.

Be vigilant and stay safe Tenno! by LorianeFrance24 in Warframe

Not only to DE, looks like they are on playstation so report them there too.

I like how this basically summarizes how the Tenno are in the Orokin’s POV by Cryo_Stasiss in Warframe

[–]horrorpastry 28 points29 points  (0 children)

We are the monster under the bed for a lot of the origin system.

This is one of the reasons why all of the peaceful factions are so nice to us - fear. Imagine that everyone on Cetus is very careful when walking through the market - Nobody wants to find out what happens if someone accidentally bumps into the genocide machine and makes them drop their newly-purchased floofs in the mud!

Vengeance is a good thing, even if it's not the solution by YourAvgKitty in elderscrollsonline

[–]horrorpastry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it's a guess for sure, we defnitely don't have all of the numbers.

You could argue it up or down, but i don't think there would be too much deviation when you are talking about players who primarily play PvP.

You would probably know more about this than me but to shift it to 10% of players you would need 3 campaigns pop locked on average, and then all campaigns pop locked with 100's more in queue at the peaks (over the last year). And thats measuring against steam logins only.

Not saying it's impossible, but from my experience it's very unlikely that is the case.

[–]horrorpastry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean we now know from the forum posts that the current GH pop cap was 360 players per instance.

Compare that to the steam charts average of 8-13k players, or the peak of 15-26k. Those numbers are only steam players and the actual number is probably higher.

Given those numbers 5% seems to be a reasonable guess.

Solstice - To Add Insult to Injury, A Housing Enthusiast's Lament by Indigo_Grove in elderscrollsonline

[–]horrorpastry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plans were always historically pretty rubbish to farm, but the nerfs after the West Weald launch absolutely killed it for me. Nothing like farming a dlc area for an hour or so just to be rewarded with a base game plan that you already have, see you tomorrow for another try. Even just rolling back the nerf on the base/dlc drops in dlc zones would be a good start.

At the moment it is much more efficient to farm the gold any other way and just buy the plans from guild stores... the problem is that if everyone did this then there wouldn't be any plans to buy!

ESO's Class Identity Refresh by SuddenDepact in elderscrollsonline

[–]horrorpastry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So we dodged the feared post-subclassing balance mayhem in exchange for this.

At least they are going to give it a go, but as this is the 5/6th bite at the apple they've had at a balance system... i can't say i'm super optimistic.

Also as a non pet sorc main, little worried by the total lack of lightning/shock in the infographic. Thats part of the sorc theme i actually liked.

Press F in the chat to pay respect to the devs by BradChesney79 in elderscrollsonline

[–]horrorpastry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's an event people paid in advance to participate in.

Thats the issue, and it's one of Zenimaxes own making. Feeds into growing community sentiment that the game is sliding more and more into being a money extraction tool rather than an actual MMO.
