I'm glad CInotG is not cutting any corner on another round of refactoring the spaceships to keep the fidelity from this very useful and anticipated new feature.

What is the difference, if any, between a Gameplay 'Programmer' and Gameplay 'Engineer'?

What functions differentiate them?

At a guess engineer would be closer to a designer while a programmer would be more focused on scripting and coding ingame systems?

Today is Aegis day, and the main sub is alive with happy posters proclaiming that they have just finished dropping 1k, 2k, or even 5k on a brand new spaceship jpeg that didn't even get a cameo in this year's announcements. Why? Well, because it's their dream, of course! Why did they post about it, though? Well obviously, the only thing you're really buying at this point is status among the community. Got to reap the rewards as soon as possible!

I stopped playing Warframe when I hit a bottleneck where I had to create a "lithos relic" or something to proceed. The game technically tells you how to do it but I didn't feel like using my brain for five seconds. Is this a common roadblock in the game?

It prob wanted you to run a Relic mission where you take one of these weird cabbage things to get a Prime item:

These missions have their own tab in your bar on the star chart in the top right. Later on when you get enough Void Traces from running these missions you can "refine" the relics to have a better chance at getting the rare items.

You get these relics as rewards from regular missions, especially "endless" ones like defense and survival. The harder the mission is, the rarer the relic type will be. The most to least common order of relics is Lith, Meso, Neo and Axi. You just need a Lith and they drop from most mission types, if you got to the point where the game wants you to use them, you should deffor have 5 or so. Ask the playerbase if not, they're common as dirt and WF players are pretty chill and helpful.

Good luck Tenno!

Ok, that made me go watch the cybertruck unveiling and jesus loving christ none of you better be investing in Tesla because what the gently caress was that demo and why did they get the scrawniest loser to barely swing at the truck.


I haven't seen someone pull a swing that hard since I played baseball when I was 9.


Who the gently caress swings like that? Who can't get some heft to the sledgehammer? You have to prove its a loving tough vehicle!


The answer is because revealing the obvious flaws in their design hurts their market value and that's why Tesla lost almost 1 billion dollars in value after that demo

The Cyber Truck reveal was in classic SC style. Chris Roberts had to be behind the whole thing as an outside consultant.

But I’m kind of in the middle when it comes to Elon Musk. I don’t think he’s a singular genius and the savior of humanity, nor do I think he’s a completely idiotic con man along the lines of Chris Roberts or Elizabeth Holmes.

He is definitely a crazy egotist, but at the end of the day he’s actually a billionaire who has led companies (PayPal, Telsla, SpaceX) to produce real products that were useful and innovative. That puts him in another league from moronic wannabe innovators like Chris.

You joke but - they DO sell a lot of the content to let you skip the grindiest things (but not all of them) - and for pennies and dollars, rather than hundreds.
Warframe can be a slog, it can be convoluted and confusing, but is by no means short on actually being fun. Very much a game you get what you want out of - want to meticulously collect and craft? Do it. Wanna be an overpowered space murder magic ninja, and don't want to grind for it? Can do that too.

I agreed they look excessive on some ships and that there are measures available to reduce reflections that haven’t been enabled on all ships but should be, which surely is taking this in a direction you’d like.

But it’s also a direct request from CR to have the glass be visible so removing it completely isn’t an option I have available, so it’s just a matter of dialling it in to sensible levels.

Ali Brown

CR specifically requested that you be able to "see" the glass in your cockpit. Honest to god I'm guessing someone showed him MWO and he gave a 45 minute speech about how in the original Wing Commander one of the things that bugged him was you couldn't tell there was glass in between you and the space.
