So what the gently caress happens if every relay gets destroyed? Even as few as we have now is a loving horrible system. Is there any chance of dead relays coming back?

See, I'm all for letting the Relays get destroyed 1 by 1. Just organizing the whole loving masses to stand by and let it happen. Why? Nah, forget that barro bullshit. You just need to remember the Tubemen event:

Eventually, DE will loving bribe you out the rear end to save the loving relays, just like they bribed everyone to support Nef Anyo during the Tubemen event because all the pubbies wanted to save Salad #5.

Let all those relays loving burn, so that we may enjoy the profit.

You know what I got so angry about the 2% thing I forgot people mentioned alerts. Are those alerts for the parts or alerts that give you a 77% chance of cores and a 2% chance of a receiver? Because the latter is still bullshit. :argh:

Also why can't the 50k be a drop and the parts be Lotus incentives? No one loving needs 50k and Vandal stuff even has Lotus markings.

They should have all but Larunda be destroyed, have that as Tenno HQ. Then if they decide we need more relays, actually make cool unique places like a friendly colony or whatever.

The most important thing is this: I don't think we can blame Steve for this since there's no lore based shenanigans this time around. It's an old lore event that got tacked on just to get some people grind more. What I'm saying is... this is all Sheldon's doing.

Well, I doubt that we'll get enough cooperation from pubbies to make this happen... immediately, anyway... but as for profit? I was hoping that someone on the wiki recorded each conflict and their results on the wiki like they did for the Gradivus Dilemma, but you were there Malachite for the Tubemen of Regor event... after Nef Anyo was getting beat HARD due to all the pubbie support for Alad, they pumped up the rewards for supporting Nef Anyo by a huge sum. 100k vs 50k. Orokin Catalyst vs 50k. 25 Gold cores vs 20 Silver Cores. They weren't going to allow the results to be completely one sided, and so they bribed the players quite openly to support Nef Anyo so that it might be a bit more even.

The same would happen in theory if we started letting the relays just burn. They don't want to loving deal with any sort of dev work or design decisions regarding if all the relays are dead. They'll just bribe the players to save the relays, and call it a day.

As fun as it is to be all goony ivory tower on pubbies, don't forget that you're effectively screwing goons and friends below MR8 out of the fun with that.

Not to mention whales the more casual players don't really want to spend all that time grinding up mr8 just to be in the super secret tenno club.

Qowned.

Strangely, after 12 runs, the only part of that thing I saw was the receiver. So, even though I now know I got the rarest part, this still gets a resounding "not worth it".

Oh yeah, I was joking with my Teshin-esque nonsense earlier; most of my friends who play this would be screwed if only the MR8 relay were left. If there were really only one left (which, given that they're all completely identical, as I discovered after taking a look around earlier because I was curious, wouldn't be a terrible loss), Larunda would be the one to keep. Maybe we can get them to blow up Orcus and Kronia too, then eventually have an event to start rebuilding relays except they aren't copy-pastes of each other down to the statue of Rhino in the center.

Also, on the topic of the Vandal parts, I got a receiver first run, BP second, then cores for a few runs, another BP, and then more cores for a while. Eventually a group I joined with got a receiver and another BP, and people left so I had to find another, in which our first run got us the barrel. So I managed to get the entire gun in three runs... After a fair amount (less than twenty I think) of runs before that. I wish I could trade my spare BPs and receiver to help people out, but they aren't Prime, so I can't sadly.

Mr8 takes no time to get.

Also the more whales the more casual players get screwed, the higher the profit margin for us. :getin:

If Tenno are space ghosts downloaded into super space ninja robots, what exactly are we bleeding when "bleeding out"? Also, why does the magic unlimited healing green air freshener built into our hands only work when someone is leaking warframe battery fluid all over the floor?

These are important lore questions.

Energy. It's seriously called that. Because : DE :. One of those scanner communiques talks about a ship being filled with "Tenno Energy" after they snuck through there.

Of course the idea of a Tenno sneaking anywhere is a bit suspicious. :v:

Okay I've tried Oberon out and got him to 22 pretty quickly. I had to look up exactly how his powers operate but I really dig it.
His 1 may be my favorite opener. Not amazing damage but can soft-control a group long enough to deal with a different group.
Renewal is nice but I wish the heal over time lasted even if people were at full health. You never know when you'll get spiked. Hallowed Ground certainly has its uses but spamming Smite it just way more effective.

Solid 7/10.
