Why do potatoes exist anyway? Making weapons completely useless unless you invest items that are only obtained through mostly random alerts is loving horrible game design.

Mostly random alerts, and MONEY. 20p a pop. Sell some crap on the market and you can buy one pretty easy.

Eh, I'm not really griping about Catalysts. They're not overpriced, and they don't cost much to build from a blueprint, and they need to monetize the game somehow, even if it's not ideal. Exilus on the other hand...

:downs: I keep forgetting this game exists to make money because I've been trying desperately to hitch a free ride, only spending what I can scam off pubbies. The big issue for me at the moment (this will probably change when I git gud and do more voids because I'll have more to sell) is that 20p is the same price as a Warframe slot, and having extra Warframes is at least as cool, especially considering that unlike catalysts they aren't occasionally free.

E: Pfft just did the rank 8 test while parkour 2.0 exists.

Eventually you accumulate enough free potatoes that you don't really worry.

If it makes you feel better back in closed beta with the skill tree thing potatoes locked you out of your 3 and 4.

Locked you out of your 3, 4, several mod slots, and many stat boosts.

If you were stupid enough to pick Loki as your starter frame (Guilty!) you were royally hosed because you had no offensive powers, and were entirely reliant on your equally-gimped guns to kill things.

That is straight-out why I quit for awhile, missing out on Snipetron and Snipetron Vandal.

Speaking of Snipetrons, thought I might have had enough to merit that event from the wiki after all. Here's the response I got. "Please do take note that those scores have been bugged and some still are and continue to increase after the events."

Everything is bugs.

Here's an example of a weapon, probably a Lato or something: (All primaries had the same grid, all secondaries had the same grid, all melee had the same grid. Only Warframes had unique grids.)

Without potato:



With potato:



Eventually, you'd unlock every slot (15/30, depending on potato or not.)

Warframes were slightly different. They had 45 nodes total, but you could only ever utilize 15/30 of those nodes (depending on potato), and if they didn't have a potato, part of those additional 30 possible nodes included your 3 and your 4.

This is probably part of why build diversity is a desired thing. We kind of had it back in closed beta.

By "build diversity" you mean everyone had 23000 shields.

Stop lying, some people might have had as few as 9,000 shields.

Also, they actually fixed that about halfway by making the shield mods +specific shield numbers. "Fixed."

Warframe 1.0 was broken as poo poo but it was often amusingly broken as poo poo.

That's so not true having even just two shield mods was more than enough than they ever intended.

So hey, :de: is in rare form with the latest fix. Movement and performance is hosed all to hell, oh and boosters aren't working. So if you're thinking of picking up an affinity or credit booster or w/e, don't. You won't get any extra xp or anything.

I'd want them to go in the other direction, minimizing the impact of the "sniper" part and basically treating them like arena shooter railguns. High damage, deep penetration, flashy contrail in the color of the weapon's energy.

So what you're saying is, you want to use the opticor? :getin:

Opticor on a HoM Mirage is the best thing for clearing entire approaches in defense with one shot.

I noticed my game steadily getting more pixelated while playing Equinox and figured out that the maim effect was somehow persisting every time I recasted it. This was after like 20x.

I think my gfx card might be dying. The red stuff only appeared after I casted Maim a few more times. Here's what it looks like without HDR though:
