Broken Frame is just gonna have coptering and other old fun bugs.

a coptering inspired passive would be pretty entertaining

i was kind of thinking that it's passive could have a useless aspect that just randomly screwed up it's textures. in addition to whatever mechanics it actually has as a passive, i like where your head's at.

Bugframe would also have weird animation glitches all the time: slide around with no animations in T pose, just have a missing head throughout a whole mission, etc.

How frequent are 75%-off-plat discounts? I like WF a lot and wanna pay money for it, but I don't wanna buy plat without the discount and basically get half the value for my money.

Like dang I would have spent money on this game way earlier if it wasn't for this dumb monetization scheme with the random discounts.

It's even worse on console. Plat's always the same price.

It does however make the Mutalyst Cernos shine, which I'm extremely in favor of.

No where near bramma level devastating but it sure can fill a hallway with lag clouds. I'm not sure if its laggy because there's so many effects going on or so many statuses being applied.

Cernos Prime also becomes absolutely absurd in terms of sheer volume of projectiles. It's no Bramma, but slot in the explosive arrow mod and it tickles my brain the same kind of way. The horizontal spread clears trash mobs in entire hemispheres.

For the goon asking about 75% discounts, the drop chance of them increases the less you play.
A 2-3 week break will drastically increase their occurrence rate.

If you got an official source or actual significant dataset for that besides various hearsay anecdotes i'd love to see it, because after over a year of hearing this rumor none of my 75%ers were even close to my breaks.

My personal theory is that it's probably a flat 1% chance and a tremendous mountain of perception bias, but i guess people trying varying raindances is harmless enough.

It does more damage overall, but it's shorter range and has worse damage falloff than the regular Kohm. I like mine, but I could see some people preferring the regular Kohm.

Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.
I came back from a ~8 months break or so recently and got two 75% coupons the first two days I played, so I guess even the game you don't play can stack.

But I also got some during the few months I did play, even bought plat a couple of times with it so I think its just a crapshoot.

Every single time I take a 2 week+ break , I get 75% off discount when I return. During daily logins I almost never get even the 50% one.
Quit after railjack came out, came back for double resource , 75% off. (13'th of March)
Stopped playing, came back yesterday, 75% off.

Believe it or don't, I don't give a poo poo.

EDIT: Like, ever since I stoppled playing regularly, I'm getting them roughly once a month. If that's a 1% chance, that's one hell of a 1% chance.

~250 logins, didn't actually play since the first railjack patch except for baro. Every baro 'login' since then is a 75% discount.

I got the Basmu and from first impressions.......... it's laughably mediocre.
It has travel time, low AOE on projectiles, mediocre crit stats, you can't put Terminal Velocity on it for some reason.
The secondary fire is a complete meme. You know the Tier 3 Cetus Scaffold? The curvy-homing laser? It's that, but it chains to nearby enemies, burns through your entire magazine in 1 second, and deals next to no damage.
The health regen pulses are a gimmick, and the infinite ammo will stop mattering when primary kitguns become a thing due to the battery arcane.
Stick to the Acceltra, this weapon is a meme.

Use your credits to get whatever arcanes you want, or the new simulacrum scene.

You won't get anything but anecdotes on this. As far as I'm aware there's been zero attempt at collecting an actual dataset on logins and DE is (reasonably) not saying a word about how it works. Instead you're gonna get like 5 people throwing up their personal experience and being defensive about it since they'll read you as not believing them instead of what you actually mean, which is wanting to apply actual statistical analysis to the question.

for what it's worth, here's the only data point that matters: I have a Machete and I think zyle still doesn't. :shepface:

I've been playing for 6 years and I've gotten one 75% off coupon :shrug:

Apr 16, 2012

A more accurate statement may be that you're very likely to get some kind of % off coupon if you login after a big gap. Just tried after a few weeks of not being on and got a 20% off coupon, same as the last time I logged in after a few weeks off.

The only 75% off coupon I've received was when logging into this PC account after a gap of about 6 months. It had only the default 50p at the time.

Quill
Jan 19, 2004
There's zero doubt that some kind of marketing mathematics is at work, shifting the probabilities of maximum discount coupons.

That said, I've received a total of five over the years and took advantage of all but the last one. My account at DE is old as dirt though, dating back to the rough early days.

Y'know I wish that there was a $30bux "pretend the game isn't f2p" pack that gave 0 plat but gave you unlimited slots and potatoes. Like the one in Smite where you can pay $30 to unlock all current-and-future characters.

I'm not sure what you mean by repair the boarding point, but the only time they should respawn is if a new boarding pod hits you. Visually the pods that already punched in stay there no matter what, though.
