Raid speculation:

There's tones of Calus'/Cabal theme in it, maybe this is the 'kill Calus for realsies' raid?

If you really honestly want to know the final boss of the upcoming raid and so on. If you're really really paying attention you can figure it out yourself.

It's Nezarac. Nezarac is a Psion disciple, joined long before the cabal conquered them. Look at Nezarac Sin's helmet, and then look at the Psion model. I can't believe I never saw it.

I think the Psions love and follow Nezarec but I don't think Nezarec himself is a Psion. The Psions are a relatively new player in the Darkness Army and Nezarec has been around since forever

I quit D2 during the season where you get weapons where you could shoot a red ball to make a splosion (Seraph probably).

I was miffed at the content removal thing.

But mostly I thought my computer was too slow causing annoying frame skips when boosting in the air.

Buuuuut now I've got a good computer, I realize it still feels like it skips so I guess it's just meant to be like that? Like, maybe it's meant it be a Titan rocket boost effect or something but it's annoying compared to Warframe's smooth air movement.

Also I can't remember how anything works. I'd like to start a new character but all three slots have (what was) max level chars and I can't remember if deleting one is a big deal or not.

Thanks for listening to my TED talk

If you're talking about the jerkiness when you've been launched from man cannons or similar high-speed antics, I think that's just the game's engine + latency causing problems when you move at high speeds.

You probably quit during Season of the Worthy.

I think, when I'm a Titan and jump, it doesn't feel smooth. It felt like microstuttering. It might be in my head or something. I need to test it again but it's like shaky cam or a frame rate limitation. Warframe I get 144fps+ at all times.

Edit: yeah it was Worthy, with the bunkers.

the psions had an old religion/cult that worshipped 'shared thought after death' or something along those lines, it was very Witnessey is what I mean. They got rid of it before being conquered by the fat cabals. The psion who was spread the Vox Obscura messages was trying to bring it back- one of Calus' aides was a worshipper, but so is one of Caiatl's. So it wouldn't surprise me if that religion worshipped the Witness/had ties to Nezarec, but they mostly outlawed it and the psions joining the Darkness army are actually rejoining

there's zero chance nez being a psion was thought before like, last week

I still remember my friend trying to get me through oryx raid from D1 when i just started playing and didn't really know how to do poo poo like jump yet. We did not finish.

Fast forward a few years and I joined a lfg for the leviathan a day before it was to be vaulted so i could get the acrius item out of my quest/inventory. I dont even know what happened, we finished in like 15 minutes? Skipping the entire raid somehow?!

drat really? They usually don't let "Extra Charge" exotics stack with a subclass bonus for an extra charge

That's cool

I think this might be the first time we have this specific interaction? Ophidia Spate was specifically for knives so no synergy with stasis shurikens, there's no way to get extra nades besides armateranium or starfire and warlocks didn't have melees with more than 1 charge unless you were using claws.

My recollection is that Witch Queen was mostly alright at launch? I have to work during the day but I distinctly remember playing it as soon as I got home that day and never really running into any problems.

Yeah Witch Queen actually had a really solid launch, I started it basically the minute of launch and only had to deal with a small login queue.
