I've been running it just for that extra second of survival on the first flower drop of ESO, but hey, I'll take an Intensify if it'll make no difference. Will try that out because 323 Strength is the good stuff.

Wisp only has 150 armor, don't bother with Umbral Fiber.

There's a reasonable argument for not putting survivability mods on her at all, but if you do, Vitality + Adaptation will get you better results.

Fiber will make Intensify even better tho.

Something worth noting, this month's Discord Nitro bundle is a massive pile of Saryn stuff including Saryn herself, her deluxe skin and weapons skins. Saryn is one of the bad grinds in the game so that's a pretty nice thing to get for $10.

You'd have to contrive a ruleset that forces people to be extremely slow and then A) you'd get feedback worse than the 2019 Nightwave FOMO Crisis and B) no one would ever run it unless they were absolutely 100% forced to.

If slow/stealthy were optimal (or even near parity), then people would do it. Arguably, Warframe's problem is that everything boils down to kills/minute.

FWIW, there was a period when stealth play was the optimal way to grind focus, and everyone (happily?) ran solo stealth missions.


Tuxedo Catfish posted:

it's not a bad example. there was a time in warframe when bosses didn't have invuln phases like this, and things were even worse -- it basically just meant that every boss was like what The Sergeant or Phorid are now. as bad as invuln phases are for other, perpendicular reasons (you should never give the player dead time in the middle of a fight where nothing they do matters) they're an improvement in the sense that everyone gets to at least feel like they're interacting with the boss

IMHO, the tank bosses are just implemented poorly. They should scale eHPs off some measure of group power e.g., highest number of mods in an equipped weapon. Or more simply, highest MR in the group.

no, that's a horrible idea. neither MR nor number of mods equipped are even close to being good ways of estimating power, and creating an incentive to fit fewer mods or not raise MR would be a disaster.

among the many things Warframe does right is having a functional, if not perfect, mobile app because managing all that poo poo can be overwhelming. Looking at you, Division 2 :mad:

They were meant to be only active during that panel where they were given out, but since the website had a complete breakdown almost immediately Rebb said they'll be activated again soon either during a Prime Time or Devstream.

Best thing about the app is the notifications when alerts are up. Granted 90% of the functionality is useless now nightwave has restructured the rewatd system, but it's nice for special alerts, gifts of the lotus etc that you might otherwise miss.

If you pay $25 minimum, yes. The Digital Pack goes away tomorrow and Baro goes away Thursday night.

It's an unbelievable pain in the rear end and I'm not trying to let discord off the hook here (and you may already know this, but this is for anyone who doesn't) but there's a workaround for that - make a desktop shortcut to the launcher.exe file in steamapps\common\warframe\tools\, then add
code:
-cluster:public -registry:Discord
to the end of the Target box. Launch Warframe using that shortcut and it should allow you to claim the Nitro rewards (go to market, search for Nitro).

No, excess affinity is basically lost unless you have a focus lens, which converts excess affinity into focus points.

Well, yeah, that's what I meant by forcing it. People, in general, would still optimize around that to try to be slow in the fastest and/or easiest they could while still getting maximum benefit. If you like that slower pace then it sucks that most people don't, but that's just a majority opinion and not a core flaw in the game you can fix.

Sidenote: If you absolutely can't get a group for ESO that isn't non-killframes going two rounds and quitting then Equinox Adaro farming is still better for focus. That's not slow gameplay though. That's rapid fire putting everything in range to sleep and speeding through the map oneshotting dudes.

I've had the game log me out of the app literally hundreds of times without issues.

Though the first time i logged into the app while ingame it cost me 20 minutes of quest progress because the game cannot log you back in after the app kicks you off without restarting.

The app has some other odd restrictions, but for a few things like basic foundry things or checking invasion/sortie status it's super handy.

otherwise no, anything bought with plat from DE or awarded does not follow MR requirements, only things you craft or riven mods
