After giving it some thought since the announcement to re-open the sub, I arrived at the conclusion that I do not want to be a part of this community anymore, both on Reddit and Lemmy. This will be my last post here and I won't see any replies but feel free to discuss anyway.
Don't worry, I won't let the door hit me on my way out, but before they load and open (sad Volt main noises) I'd like to explain why.
I initially didn't care about Reddit blackout because I was using the official app, thinking the API changes won't affect me, but since my favourite subreddit decided to join, I did some reading on it and I see why people decided to do the blackout. In order to support everyone participating, including r/Warframe, I also deleted my 7 year old Reddit account with over 200k Karma through the Redacted.
While the people in the Warframe community both here and on Reddit are generally very nice, helpful, and I honestly like interacting with you, I do not want to support a community run by people who bailed on the blackout. I'm not interested in making my own community either because further splintering, albeit miniscule, doesn't benefit anyone.
I've read your reasoning for reopening but don't agree with them. To me, they are excuses we as a community could work around and resolve but you decided to take the easy way out instead of working with us. We could go into the discussion about this in length but it wouldn't change anything because the decisions have already been made and I've no interest in trying to change your mind as much as you don't care about changing mine.
I've been buying purely digital since half way in PS3 simply because you can share the games with another account, so if my wife and me want to play something together, we have to buy the game only once. Saves a lot of money but I always missed the feeling of reading the instruction manual and drooling over the artwork.
I really like the (anti?) synergy between Fractured Blast and Condemn. Armor stripping enemies is cool but blasting them away isn't because it makes them harder to hit. Condemn chains them in place so once you Sound Blast them they won't get throw away...usually.
Sounds like a skill issue.
I mean, sure, I could record a video showing how wrong you are but I can see you're just trying to argue for the argument's sake without even actually trying the methods I specified out.
The good thing here is that thanks to you I found how to block someone on Lemmy.
Argument invalid. I did specify an hour of Steel Path in my reply you're reacting to. If OP would specify level cap, my reply would be indeed different and more aligned with yours.
Citrine can handle it quite well since she can double dip into a 90% DR, crowd control, and generate orbs.
I would appreciate if Kullervo had some form of shield gating on Overguard or have it be affected by mods, but even without that, he can generate up to 5000 Overguard with a single button press, which also heals him. If you mod him as your standard HP+Armor tank, the extra layer of protection coming from Overguard is quite sufficient.
It's just that people got used to be outright invulnerable thanks to shield gating, invisibility, and Mesmer Shield that other options don't seem viable at all because they carry risks with them, even though the said risks can be well mitigated.
Revenant, Protea, Citrine, Styanax, Kullervo can all handle over an hour of Steel Path easily without excessive setups or mechanic abusing while also being engaging and fun to play.
I would remove Undercroft from Lone Story, have Resource Booster affect all Duviri rewards, such are Kullervo's Banes and Pathos Clamps, and the Drifter melee needs a bit more flexibility when it comes to blocking because it's too slow and cumbersome as it is now.
On the other hand, the location, the characters, both the visuals and sounds are all amazing.
I mean, Saryn drops from a Grineer colosseum, Atlas drops from the Infested space ship monster, Mesa drops from the Infested grofit conversion failure.
The Warframe as a boss drop usually makes zero sense and the whole system should be reworked. You should get weapon parts from the bosses and get Warframes from quests, Syndicates, and specialized game modes (Mirror Defence for Citrine for example).
Angstrum sounds interesting. I have Boar, so I'd like to try it. But Gammacor sounds the most appealing to me. I got the Synoid version for so long it might actually be my longest owned weapon. It was made redundant with Cycron, Nukor, and Ocucor since it's just single target but if Incarnon can help it, I'd love to put it back on.
Look, the difference between r/warframe and dormi.zone is like between a normal and a new Prime item. When you get the Prime, it needs to have it's fashion adjusted, it's dispo sucks, and it needs Forma, but if you stick with it, it'll perform and look better than the old one.
I'm going to assume the weapon cannot have alt fire mechanic of any kind otherwise it would conflict with the Incarnon transformation.
I would also prefer to avoid enemy faction related weapons since they can have a Lich variant instead. Lastly, I would prioritise weapons that don't have any other variant (not sure whether to count Prime though).
Here's a list of potential candidate weapons that come to mind.
His survival is super easy as long as you have energy. Overguard doesn't have shield gating nor is it affected by Adaptation but it caps at 5000 which makes it a viable survival tool even at around lvl 200 Steel Path.
You're right Roar is superior as a damage buff and you can mod for Viral, however, Nourish provides build diversity.
You can focus on raw damage or go Corrosive and still have Viral as well. This also gives you an extra status effect for all the Condition Overload mods.
It also allows you to replace Arcane Energize with something else. We have a lot of good Arcanes now that can take it's place. I often find myself using Molt Augmented, Molt Efficiency, Arcane Avenger, Arcane Guardian, and Arcane Reaper instead and never have any energy issues.

Switching to Solo Mode.
I've been buying purely digital since half way in PS3 simply because you can share the games with another account, so if my wife and me want to play something together, we have to buy the game only once.

I have the old Mi Mix 3 which still has it and I love the feature. I had no idea new phones don't have it anymore.
When you say a FF world is lifeless compared to a Souls game, you know FF hit a new low.
I really like the (anti?) synergy between Fractured Blast and Condemn. Armor stripping enemies is cool but blasting them away isn't because it makes them harder to hit. Condemn chains them in place so once you Sound Blast them they won't get throw away...usually.
What's the point of buying the physical edition then?

Duviri is a great update but it can be better.

You either die a Legend or live long enough to be the type of psychopath that uses this light UI theme.
The dream Opticor right there 🥵

The NSFW communities are the best part!

Awesome! Thanks!
