When dogs do that specific attack against a large enemy, the game upscales them for whatever strange reason.

Rather than have a different animation for how they attack different sized enemies, gently caress it. Make them bigger so it's appropriate.

I always just run Eris Cyath, get the high nominal level with the easier Corpus spy rooms and infested enemies to ignore along the way. But I sort of suspect taht the only difference between Tier 2 and Tier 3 is the distribution of tower keys in the caches.
I find the Grineer spy missions much easier because the only traps are the door force fields and sensor regulators, and as long as you carry a weapon that can reliably one-shot the sensor regulators you can brute force the vaults very quickly.

Like I said earlier I've run the Saturn spy mission probably 50 times now. I've gotten Rime Rounds a few times, but most of the time the rewards are crappy common/uncommon mods and T1 or T2 keys. On the upside since it's Saturn I get orokin cells with some regularity.

I've gotten T4 keys a few times, and they've added some of the new movement mods to the mix. I just wish the event mods were spread evenly a bit more, 2-2-4 is a bit wonky.

We can start with 'make it slightly less unfun' and then maybe when we get rid of the stuff that's unfun, like Blip Shooter 2014: I Came For Zone of the Enders And Got LO:MAC, we can start working on fun.

Tbh I think Archwing could be pretty fun if they upped the enemy density and lowered their damage output, balanced Hellion Dargyns, and added some QoL changes like slight aim assist and a better map system. I mean it'd need more content, but it'd at least have a solid core.

I hate Space Mom :(

I really liked it back when we had those creepy messages at the top of public chat about honor and obedience from the old Tenno code, and Lotus was this mysterious neither-good-nor-bad figure who dared not order you to do anything because you're an insane amnesiac killing machine that must be handled with a delicate touch; she only offered opportunities and faux-optional help toward goals of mutual interest. That was a cool atmosphere-building thing that made a strong part of the game's flavor back when I first played.

Now we've got an unambiguous good-guy with no sense of character who nominates themselves as your new boss and you just accept it because ???, and also she speaks in an incredibly stilted robot voice that constantly sounds like someone's first halting VA audition. Not trying to rag on Rebecca too hard here, but I wonder what the hell happened, her oldest Lotus lines weren't perfect but they were a hell of a lot more naturally and skillfully delivered than any of the new stuff.

Probably because previously she was just filling in some lines and now she has to act like an actual character. She's not a professional voice actor so you can imagine if someone told you you have to act an actual fictional character. In other words, before she was talking as Rebecca, now she's supposed to talk like Lotus.

No poo poo, I wasn't trying to be excessively critical so much as heading that off by stating the obvious popular opinion. A couple of years ago people used to laugh about how it was obviously an intern or somebody doing the VA work, but I thought she was actually pretty good, all things considered. It's just that the new lines are really bad, especially by comparison.


I think that this:

-is pretty likely but what gets me is how whoever's doing the sound/voice direction here doesn't seem to notice the difference. They were much better off just letting her read the lines naturally and not trying too hard.

She's hardly unambiguous considering that she is a Sentient who was supposed to kill the Tenno. Our leader is a race traitor who talks about Tenno tradition and Orokin matters despite not being a Tenno herself and being unable to access the Void.
And since Sentients are robot people, her style of speech makes sense. I just attributed it to her age, which apparently spans millennia. It's the same reason Fro Behk has a hard time speaking, he's so drat old he needs cybernetics to maintain himself.


I don't mind Space Mom. I hope they don't take this story in an exceptionally stupid direction, cause what they got thus far is not bad. I really wish evil Sentient Dad didn't use a dark and ashy Lotus head, but I'll wait until he shows up again to pass judgement.

Really though, if you want to hear about stupid MMO stories, let me tell you about Scarlet Briar...

All of lotus' newer lines I actually find to be pretty good, rather than some of the older boss intros, like the kela De Thaym intro (FOR HER PLEASURE)

But like 70% of it is quality writing rather than quality voice acting. I could excuse the non-pro VA if the words weren't so brutally hamfisted.

I was actually wondered why Lotus, a sentient, has the same theme as Orokin stuff like lotus motifs everywhere. Then I remembered that the Orokin made the proto Sentients so all Sentients are probably lotus themed as well.
