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.

Switching to Solo Mode.

When you say a FF world is lifeless compared to a Souls game, you know FF hit a new low.

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 🥵

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.

The NSFW communities are the best part!

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.

Primary

• Attica
• Buzlok
• Daikyu
• Grakata (for Clem!)
• Sybaris
• Tigris
• Veldt
• Zhuge

Secondary

• Akzani
• Ballistica

• Machete
• Okina
• Plasma Sword
• Shaku
• Tonbo

Personal Wishlist

• Tiberon
• Opticor
• Battacor
• Gammacor
• Paracesis
• Orvius

Thanks!

I named my Kubrow Ricco after my childhood dog (Riko), so I want to use him exclusively. Using other ‘living’ companions, especially the good ones like Panzer Vulpa or Smeeta would make me abandon Ricco because they’re just so much better.

A silly personal sentimentality if you will.

I don’t understand…

So, the CEO knows this, decided against upgrading the viewpoint putting his giga wealthy customers at risk, who likely could sue him or just straight up ruin him, decided to go with it anywa, AND boarded the sub himself.

My brain doesn’t comprehend this logic.

He does give you the most shit over comms too. You’re right to keep him for the memes.

That said, I’d change him on Steel Path, where once you kill him, he runs off to some huge ass Corpus mech and you get a round 2 which would be a proper bossfight.

A lot of boss fights are boring but they work as they are, but some need a straight rework, like Sergeant, Jordas Golem, or at least some touch up, like Lech Krill (mostly due to bugs), and Ropalolyst (also bugged as hell).

Don’t give Russians any ideas or they’ll use it next. “We didn’t invade Ukraine, it’s actually a rescue operation.”

That’s some karma.

I’m using this next time my boss calls.

DE said they plan on reworking assassinations to be more like Jackal but they never got to it and Parazon isn’t as much used anymore.

I think a better question would be “Should they be rescued?”. Billionaires are a stain on humanity. You simply do not need that much wealth for any valid purpose.

This is the way.

1. Always do quests first. You unlock more options to use in your general gameplay through them.

2. Incarnon weapons are meta right now. They get unlocked either through randomised Steel Path mode in Duviri, called Circuit, or through Zariman, which should be unlocked through one of the last available quests. Alternatively, you can opt to get yourself an adversary Kuva Lich (Grineer) or Sister of Parvos (Corpus), who have the second best weapons in the game. They are also unlocked through quests but rather early ones.

3. Depends on what you want the frame to do. Nuke? Saryn. Survivability? Revenant. Speed? Titania. Ability damage? Protea. Support? Wisp. Defending? Frost. Stealth? Wukong (no really). Assassination? Ivara. Hotel? Trivago.

4. See 2 and 3 but as long as it’s well modded and used properly, nearly anything can handle Steel Path.

Archon Hunts are the most difficult content available right now. If you don’t do enough damage you’re simply not ready to solo them. It’s a fact you have to learn to accept.

It’s not your fault though, so don’t take it as a personal attack or anything. Warframe progression is completely stupid and often throws at you content you’re not ready for. Take open worlds for example. A new player has no way to handle PoE but the game sends you there when you’re like MR3. Archon Hunts are the same.

To make matters worse, Archons have a rather unique defence mechanism to them which makes most weapons and abilities useless.

So, from where you’re standing right now, you have 2 options.

1. Get the Zariman weapons or Kuva Hek. Mod them for Radiation damage and pair them with Ivara or other stealth frame of your choice. Ivara provides additional damage boosting options though, so she’s the best for Archon Hunts. Give her Roar with as high strength and duration as you can and Rolling Guard for survivability. That’s all you need.

2. Don’t try to solo it and ask for help. I understand you don’t want to feel like a leech and want to be useful but you don’t have to rely on damage alone to do that. Remember, Archon Hunts have perma death, so having someone who can heal, boost, and revive, is actually super useful there. I’m running a Vazarin Harrow Prime with Roar for support and it’s great. Damage buff, CC, CC buff, immortality, fast revives, all in one package.

For me, it has to be a combination of both the way the weapon feels and the way it performs.

For example, Opticor looks, sounds, and feels great, but the damage has been powercrept by new weapons, and it feels really bad when something survives it. Everything should die to it in one shot.

Currently, the weapon that fits all of these the most is Latron Prime. After getting Incarnon Genesis, it’s power is so high that if I take the time to aim for the enemy’s weakspot, it usually dies in one shot. If not, thanks to Double Tap, you get the satisfaction of seeing your damage steadily increase until the target is well dead and done.

I’m hoping the new augment for Battacor will push it back to my #1 weapon.

I can confirm Kubrows adhere to this precept system as well. My Raksa will either restore my shields or stun enemies with Howl depending on which is first.

As for weapons, if you mean how to combine elements, the priority goes from top left to bottom right.
