49d 0h, but I already had an active, about two weeks old 30-day booster, and got a couple of them before I left, too. I think I got about 7 or 8 times three days' worth. I made 1,608,750 credits off of the vectises, wyrms and latron BPs I sold.

I also passed 3k starbursts :v:

Also speaking of which, Peewi is it possible for you to do something to force a different amount of default tabs on reload? Like doing http://brackethouse.dk/wf/30 or http://brackethouse.dk/wf#30 for example? page crashes sometimes at higher(40+) number of streams and when reloading it goes back to 2.

I had not thought of doing that, but I added it.

You can now do http://brackethouse.dk/wf/#20

I also made a change that should fix it sometime breaking.

Hey Tenno,

For those of you who have been participating as a viewer or a streamer in The Great Eidolon Twitch Drops event, Twitch recently implemented a change to Twitch Drops that you should know about :

To quote from the most recent iteration of Twitch's official How to Earn Drops page, “your chances of receiving a Drop do not increase by having multiple streams of the same game open simultaneously”.

You can read more about Twitch Drops here: https://help.twitch.tv/customer/en/portal/articles/2754380-how-to-earn-drops

I think this was the first 'twitch drops' event where it could be abused like that.

Before the Warframe thing, drops were mostly used for things like big events or tournaments where there was only one stream anyways so they didn't run into this problem.

The thing is if the twitch drops were based on drop/time and only one stream people would still orkanpile someone but as it was based on achievements things got dumb. I have 4+ frost helmets that will forever be in my inventory now.

How are people building/using Gara? Nothing seems to particularly click for me. I mean I guess getting 90% damage resist is pretty sexy, but this is hardly a Nidus/Octavia sort of situation for me so far.

So, since I only have around 9 each of "nintain extract", "oxium", "neurodes", "forma blueprints", and only 2 "ayatan cyan star", I'm assuming these are rare/useful?

What do I do with them?

You can use vitrify as basically a better (but limited duration and more energy-hungry) version of snowglobe. It creates a giant wall that enemies can't walk or shoot through but allies can. Jump up in the air before casting it to make the wall higher.

it's energy hungry, but not so much that you can't recharge with energizing dash before it ends. keeping it up 24/7 is trivial.

She has some interactions so using her as just "Snowglobe but better" feels unsatisfying, but I guess it works.

Nitain (aka Alertium), Oxium, and Neurodes are used as crafting components. You're right that they're fairly rare. Nitain is used less than the others (because it's newer), but you should basically always have an eye out for those.

Forma blueprints are, unsurprisingly, used to craft Forma. Forma can also be used as a crafting component for a few things (mostly clantech stuff, such as Ignis, the flamethrower), but it's also used to "polarize" a mod slot on a piece of equipment (aka "forma"). This changes the 'polarity' of the slot (whether it has a V, D, -, =, etc). If you install a mod that has the same polarity as the slot, the mod costs half as much. This means that with proper use of forma, you can massively increase the total capacity of a weapon or frame.

Ayatan Stars (cyan and amber) are picked up mostly from crates and lockers. They can be converted to endo or used for some decoration related stuff.

I was just watching AGGP's new Gara video and apparently if you shatter your glass wall while you're outside of it, it buffs the damage of your Splinter Storm significantly. Like why is that not in the ability description, why do I have to watch the world's most annoying youtuber to learn basic poo poo about my robotmans

The damage is based on your lash damage which scales with your melee mods, and each time you cast vitrify it refreshes the duration of splinter storm. Also, the damage bonus stacks multiple times! So you could spend some time buffing it up and then run through a level killing everything by rubbing your face on it while never touching your guns.

I don't know how good that strategy is but it would at least be funny.

What Tulip said earlier.

The forma blueprints are not re-usable like some others are. 1 blueprint = 1 forma, so worth running alert missions that reward one.

Also, Ayatan stars - ideally you plug those into Ayatan sculptures, which you get via weekly mission from Maroo (or very rarely just lying around), and then trade the star-filled sculpture in for tons of endo. After admiring how shiny and hypnotic they are...

Or just sell the the stars to her for less endo, but still a decent amount.

The Amazing Eternals, aka Keystone, DE's other game in development, has officially been 'suspended' (i.e. cancelled). All founder pack purchases are being refunded.

I wasn't in the beta, but all footage from it was of a PvP hero shooter like Overwatch, but with some kind of weird board game element. It had a retro 50s sci-fi theme. About all I know about it. From the text, it sounds like they didn't get the founder interest they needed, and figured it would just be too hard to break into a really crowded market. What I saw from closed beta implied at least several million had already been spent on development, and likely quite a few people hired, so that kind of sucks for them - though I guess I'm glad that they didn't just decide to shove an incomplete garbage product out the door anyway, as at least half the studios on the market would have done.

I guess in a sense, Warframe managed to get traction without a publisher for a variety of factors, but a big one had to be that it filled a niche that didn't really exist for F2P games on Steam. There were a few other coop PvE shooters, but none quite like this, with long-term character advancement and all. Keystone, though, would have been trying to break into the pure PvP shooter market, which you can't go two clicks on Steam without one being shoved in your face.

edit: It's kind of hilarious, though, that Keystone's big competition, Overwatch, was itself cobbled together from the assets of an abandoned MMO

I had alpha or beta access, can't recall, from going to Tennocon, but I didn't play at the time because my computer couldn't run it at any kind of decent level. From all accounts of people I know who did try it, it was a mess in terms of gameplay and generally just not really very fun relative to expectations set by Warframe.

I feel bad for them but I mean, them's the breaks.

I will say I think it was a total waste of the aesthetic to do a hero shooter, I was really hoping for something more like Bethesda or Bioware when I saw the promo material and then was immensely disappointed.

I just did some Katamari Mode on Hydron, and it appears that insofar as shield scales with melee, it ignores Reach and Fury, which logically means it ignores the penalty for Spoiled Strike. How do skills interact with Rivens? I know they ignore syndicates.

The wiki says shattered lash actually takes riven damage into account. Its the only one I know of that works that way though.

Looks like ignoring speed, crit, and status and just loading up all damage and elemental mods is the way to go.

I'm doing PPP, Auger Strike, Sundering, Spoiled, and 4x elemental. If it takes into account rivens then welp.
