This isn't the first time I've seen this but goddamn it gets me every time. How can they make such a heartwrenching story in a game like this? Oh Ordis, I'm so sorry I ever thought you were annoying :(

For all the bugs and flaws and strange design decisions there's some really wonderful depth to this world they built.

Speaking of Ordis, does he ever get that split personality thing fixed? He turned down the job offer from Simaris where he offered to fix his glitch. Wonder if it comes up again?

I wouldn't trust Simaris to tinker with my personality, personally. It wouldn't surprise me if it comes out he's the person who created the process in the first place.

It would be totally Orokin if Simaris is the first Cephalon, made a Cephalon for the crime of inventing how to make someone a Cephalon.

Came back to the game after the pricing error on Steam, and holy poo poo is Nidus fun. I don't think I've enjoyed a frame this much since Rhino.

Although Nidus would be more fun if pubbies would stop stealing my stacks with lovely laser usage on Orokin Defense :negative:

Booted up this game after not having played for a year. Still trying to remember all the tricks but I did a CLEM CLEM mission and my Ember prime with synoid simulor still kicks rear end.

Special bait fishing (murkrays, norgs, etc.) might be fastest, but least difficult would be to do the top level bounty and stick around for Incursions (should be like 800 a pop for like 3 minutes of work).

That said, Plains grinding is like a whole nother goddamn level of grind on top of everything else in the game put together. It's nuts.

I actually found MR9 easiest to cheese with Banshee and Redeemer. Just stay way back and snipe them. On the third leg of the test where you get a patrol of 3, Redeemer can oneshot all 3 when theyr'e clumped up together, and that helped a lot.

Still a little fucky because you have to worry about corpse detection and poo poo, but Banshee's passive made it pretty easy.

Glaives for some reason seem to make a ton of noise if they miss, or when they return, and kept getting me detected.

I ended up doing MR9 with a whip with buffed up range, the slide attack is fantastic for it.

A tip I got from the watching someone in YT: In the third section you start on a ledge, drop down and immediately jump back up, then back up a few steps and crouch; this way the 3 enemies coming down main won't see you and you can jump down as soon as they turn after reaching the end and murder them all.

This is probably one of my favourite bits of video game writing. Personally I was never as annoyed by Ordis as some others, and even then this was just super :smith:

And it was good to read other people's reactions here and there, and my friends' reaction when they too uncovered it all.

I remember when Destiny 2 came out and people were saying that they loved the Ghost and Fail-Safe and how their voice acting and writing were so good. I'd always just think back to this and go "Nah, dawg. That ain't poo poo."

I used a Zephyr with rush and armored agility, and a whip with reach. The slide attack will hit enemies through walls, and the slam attack will knock down groups without alerting them (make sure you kill them before they get back up). Death from above.

For all you goons idling streams, I made a thing that automatically opens the top X Warframe streams. It'll automatically replace dead streams, though it might take a little while.

It'll probably lag for a little bit if you're embedding a whole bunch of new streams at the same time.

Make sure you reduce the video quality on the streams and that you're logged in to twitch and your accounts are linked.

In a sample size of 13,000 it had a 0.11% drop chance--it's really rare.

Interesting, I think im underestimating drop chances in this game period coming from stuff like Destiny and Diablo. Oh well more excuses to keep 45 streams open overnight

I used to be a hardcore mythic raider in wow, one of the top guilds on the server (#1 Death Knight on the server baby!) etc etc and I'm so burned out on grinding all the things as fast as possible. I have been having SO MUCH FUN just playing the game and not worrying about the reputation stuff. I mean, I'm still doing them but I'm not making sure I get cap every day and if some days I don't feel like doing them, then I don't.

Cool thing about WF is there is a shitload of content there and it's all very different.

Ordis is voiced by one of the weapon artists. Man I've been trying to find fish with the nice luminous dye and no joy so far, do I need to have bait too or not?
I did have fun scampering around and murdering sentient drones with my anime and her beam, but that Eidolon thing is pretty spooky so I didn't go anywhere near it. Not as big as I was fearing.

From what I can tell this game's about having many attainable things to grind as opposed to having chase items. I don't tend to have the patience for chase items, but I get the feeling the many grind approach will get tiresome. (especially when new weapon x sucks until leveled or just plain sucks). I already notice it suckering me into playing longer then I want. (I don't like knowing that I'm being manipulated) If I finish this quest chain I can do the junction which might give me enough to do my mastery 6, so I can start on a weapon I have a blueprint for. Spoiler I didn't get enough experience for the mastery.

It's not that it's so good that I don't want to stop, that wouldn't be an issue. (well it might be) The problem is it's doing the whole mmorpg trick of dangling the possibility of more fun if I continued to play these lovely Uranus melee only missions. Well I do want to see if that Penta (I think) is any good. Games can't just be fun anymore people wouldn't play them enough!

If it's the test I'm thinking of, on the third section I just bullet jumped on top of the pillars where I camped and picked them off one by one like loving Batman.

For the melee only missions, take your best melee weapon, put it on Excalibur, use exalted blade and then kill the Uranus's Boss (Tyl Regor) 5 times. It's fast, there will always be other people to team up with, and you need to kill him hundreds of times for Equinox parts anyways.

Uh yeah Excalibur's exalted blade has been carrying me for awhile and I did indeed use it and my prisma cleavers for the missions.
