I know mostly everything in twitch drops is eventually available in other ways but getting out of my way to make a system think I watched a stream that I completely ignored in order to get (for example) an umbra forma is annoying. I know they want those twitch metrics to get closer and closer to the streams displayed on the front page but it's still an annoyance, chalk it up to another case of current madness. Give me alerts, failing that give me repeats so I don't have to set up an ancient microlaptop to watch a stream at specific given times.

Warframe is an extraordinarily uninteresting game to watch people play. DE certainly isn't going to get their marketing push on Twitch without bribing people with drops.

A while back when they gave away the Harrow set and I missed it and I'm still pissed about it. Yeah, you can farm it, but I'm convinced the loving systems no longer exist. Or if DE is so hard up to get people to watch Reb pretend to enjoy listening to her own stilted voicework at least make it so watching the VOD can trigger the drop, at least for a while afterward.

Orv posted:Alright now you're being weird about it. I question the use of the word "now" here, Orv. but more broadly: It's not like anything has changed since the last time this came up. Twitch drops serve a different purpose and audience than in-game alerts, which Steve (not entirely jokingly) called "pay to sleep" for good reason when they were removed. There are valid reasons for this even if you or I or anyone doesn't like them, and they aren't likely to change anytime soon. in conclusion,  Fitzy Fitz posted:Cetus wisps: not great! farming those was one of the times when I really, really believed in "get a doubler or don't bother" ... so uh, sympathies I guess? Get a map, learn a route, count how many you need, don't overfarm for your sanity. I'd say "oh buy them from the quills," except generating the rep to afford buying them from the quills in sufficient quantities requires, among other things, having at least some wisps to build a better amp. not great!

Fitzy Fitz posted:Cetus wisps: not great! Yeah they suck but there is kind of a trick to hunting them! Best part is it only takes archwing and some way of loot detector (animal instinct on your pet works fine). I guess you could do it without archwing by just running around the lake if you don't have archwing yet. Go to the plains (at night), hop into archwing, fly around the lake. Look for loot icons on the border of the lake on your minimap - see the picture below, where a loot icon is circled in pink.  That loot icon represents a Cetus Wisp. The below picture has a more blown-up picture of it - they're still very hard to see even if you know they're there but it's a bit easier in motion, as they kind of bob up and down. All you have to do is ground slam down onto it and then you have it. If you've got a resource doubler active, then you get two wisps!

I sort of don't mind them pumping stream numbers. I'm guessing they're just trying to get a better deal from twitch prime when they resign those bonuses. Overall they could be a lot worse. Screaming Idiot posted:A while back when they gave away the Harrow set and I missed it and I'm still pissed about it. Yeah, you can farm it, but I'm convinced the loving systems no longer exist. That I can help with. Bring two high strength buff wisps to defection and place speed/health nodes on all the medical spawns. Speeds them up and makes the game mode tolerable. Unless systems is from kuva spy. Then you just need 3 people and not to fail a vault since its rot c.

Get a map, learn a route, count how many you need, don't overfarm for your sanity. Cetus wisps are one of those things where having an archwing helps a lot. There's a few things you may not know about archwings: 1) Your warframe passive affects archwing performance. Play equinox for fake equilibrium, play hildryn for better shield gating. Or play Mirage and boost around uncomfortably fast. Perfect for plains! 2) Aura mods work in archwing. You want loot radar. Thief's wit doesn't work, you need the aura. 4) arcanes work in archwing too! Mostly energize, if you are so lucky. 3) Itzal's 3 scoops loot if its in range. Buy the range mod (energy amplifier?) if you don't have it, and the Flow/+max energy equivalent (auxiliary power?). Cold snap, the augment, also freezes enemies so they stop shooting you on a loot run. What this means is you can just do a terrain-skimming left to right flyby of the plains at night and scoop wisps real easy. They look like regular chest dots on the minimap, but are always on waterlines. You can sorta tell which is which once you're familiar with the area: Basically do a left to right sweep of the map starting with the geyser lake, then loop around to renthi spring and the big rear end lake on the right side. there's a big 100 energy chest near the gates, and another on the eidolon-shrine island, and a few scattered about. Bring an ignis to pop chests. A wisp run is fast enough you can still get a few during the day. If you don't have an itzal you can fly over the wisps manually. tldr; forget about wormhole nova and just do an archwing flyby in loot radar mirage itzal.

Fitzy Fitz posted:I built a 212 amp and goddamn this is a step up there's some useful fortuna arcanes. See if you can get a goon buddy to give you one a low-ranking heat convert arcane. Being able to do armor strip on an amp at all is a huge step up. (i recommend a low rank one so its not all entirely gone; void damage is still sorta useful, you just need one proc for the armor halving effect) Also grats on your crafting endeavor! With that specific amp, you might also be interested in Virtuous Tempo. Its charge time makes the Pencha laser charge faster because ROF. I think the recharge time brace lets you fire it continously/forever, but there's a certain level of tempo that makes it not-quite fast enough. (I can confirm the fortuna lowcap-evenfaster-recharge brace lets you fire indefinitely even with tempo maxed tho) TheParadigm fucked around with this message at 10:02 on Feb 14, 2021 |

The thing about Amp scaling is that it is fairly flat, each "tier" of Amp Prism all have about the same damage per unit energy. They're almost like sidegrades, do you want range? RoF? Dumping your energy asap? Weird mechanics? Nothing like regular weapons, which scale with multiple exponents. Like the difference between a fully modded and an unmodded gun can be something like a 60x damage multiplier.

My walking around amp is a 147 or 747. As long as you match your stats, it's pretty easy to build a good one once you get access to the better braces. Status amps like the Schwaak or crit amps like Raplak or Klamora are really effective once you get the status and crit +damage arcanes. Prisms are mostly feel, but it's way easier to get some serious numbers out if you lean into one stat.

Helter Skelter posted:Are you sure you're not just having trouble generating combo to begin with? I run Naramon on Baruuk and I know how long the decay is, roughly. The buff doesn't decay like it normally would (as the multiplier decays), it just falls off completely after a set amount of time. It acts like the combo multiplier itself has been lost, when it clearly hasn't been. Glaives seem to have the same issue, but only when they hit enemies far away. If I don't make it a point to fling the thing at my feet, it won't maintain the buff. It seems like it's the BR/WW/Glad buffs unintentionally being given their own duration (refreshed by landing hits within a specific radius around you) rather than being tied to the actual combo multiplier. There's a post on their forums about this, too, although people there are claiming it's the Xoris, but it seems to be everything, just difficult to produce.

It appeared along with the hammer skin that increases swing speed at the expense of combo duration, so I have to assume it’s intentional. Bold move to lock us into specific fashionframe in order to gain small bonuses, bolder still when it’s a hat for an unpopular Warframe that gives you aim glide time at the expense of ability efficiency! Sarcasm aside I do like the concept of tradeoffs (it’s what all those corrupted mods are based on and I use a lot of those) so idk let’s see if this is going anywhere or if it’s a one-off “let the newcomers get the old weird stuff” thing.

I assume there was a stream today, since when I turned my monitor on this morning it had been jumped to some other streamer. Went to check inventory and nada. Looking at the forums it's broken in multiple ways. So, like, situation normal I guess? Edit: After reading further it doesn't matter when you claim as long as the campaign is still valid. The campaign lasts the length of the stream. I honestly don't know how they thought no one would notice that. Mailer fucked around with this message at 06:49 on Feb 17, 2021 |

Sure, they'll lose anyone who doesn't live within specific timezones that doesn't make a bot for it, but given how chat is a shitfest of scrolling on any stream I doubt they care. There might be a "uh, that... we're, uh, working on it... with twitch, um..." mention in another stream and then it'll just be the new normal.
