Sigh...

I just want to go home and play Warframe

RedRiderX

You got the Warframe bug too?

SaintWacko

Yep

Started it up again last night

I had forgotten how much fun it is

Combat and movement are so fluid

user15026

Last night playing WArframe I was doing horribly at everything and I was so frustrated :(

SaintWacko

@Ash :(

I'm kinda overlevelled for the content I've been doing, which makes things a lot easier

user15026

I am good at hitting stuff but bad at...a lot of other things

SaintWacko

20:16

Is warframe rank your level?

user15026

especially stuff that requires twitchy movement, like the spy mission vaults and such

Yuuki

@SaintWacko IIRC, no.

The mission levels are completely pointless.

Outside of telling you whether one mission is harder than another.

Kevin van der Velden

There's mastery level which is determined by how many things you've leveled

And what @yuuki said, except that it is useful ;p

Yuuki

There's no number you have that you can use to compare to the mission level and go "okay, I should be able to do this".

And because of that, the mission level number is pointless.

Unionhawk

20:31

I hate this shrine

Kevin van der Velden

It's a combination of enemy and mission type anyway, certain frames/builds are good at certain enemies or missions

MBraedley

Well, fuck. I've lost internet at home, which probably means I've lost power, so it's going to be a chilly night.

GodEmperorDune

@Yuuki not exactly

i know with my regular gear i can take on around a level 20 mission

but like an infested defense i can probably do higher than that and an interception i'm gonna fail to solo it no matter what level it is

part of it is understanding the damage types and having weapons set up to do extra damage to the enemies you'll face

user15026

@GodEmperorDune Interception is the ones where you have to capture 4 points and hold them, yes?

GodEmperorDune

@Ash yes

user15026

20:37

I hate those. I assume you need more than two people, because me and @WorldEngineer always fail em

GodEmperorDune

with 2 or more people they are magnitudes easier

user15026

So we tend to avoid them :P

GodEmperorDune

i ran some with @KevinvanderVelden and we passed one, failed one, and had another few way too close for comfort

user15026

I suspect my lack of shooting ability doesn't help me and @WorldEngineer

GodEmperorDune

even though he was way overlevelled

user15026

20:39

Because between my lack of fine motor and my sticky controller sticks its hard as balls to aim

user15026

At some point I'd love to get other people to help us but I nkow we play at stupid hours because of my work

GodEmperorDune

i think they way they are supposed to be played is that you have 3 people, camp 2 of them and have the third person ninja others

i've also heard that on some maps you can position yourself just so and you can snipe the control panels across the map

and theoritically solo it

because humans just have to get close, the enemies need to use one of 2 consoles at each station

planetside-2

GodEmperorDune

also i have tried a sniper rifle and i dunno how @worldengineer is so good at it

like the damage is nice but aiming/reloading when there are a bunch of dudes interrupting you is a nightmare

much rather stick to rifles and two handed melee

Yuuki

@GodEmperorDune The thing is, level is supposed to be an abstraction so you don't need to understand damage types and specific weapon loadouts to figure out whether you can do a mission.

GodEmperorDune

20:47

a fairly accessible but more advanced than ELI5 explanation of the meltdown bug

Ave

> If you work as a technology person in a company, your cloud VMs will have already rebooted by now. That was your cloud provider fixing the cloud hypervisors, but you should still patch the OS on your cloud VMs too.

no?

GodEmperorDune

@Yuuki sure, but i'm speaking as someone with a "blow everything up" playstyle. If you're in a stealthy warframe, you can tackle many missions at way higher levels because combat is less relevant

Ave

sure microsoft online.net etc started and AFAIK gcp and aws is slowly rolling it out too but it's not like, completely rolled out

user15026

@GodEmperorDune He is just really good at shooters

Ave

that's bad advice

SaintWacko

20:49

@MBraedley you have at&t?

user15026

(He's played them for years, and he's just...really good at it. I dunno how.)

SaintWacko

@GodEmperorDune I really want a sniper rifle. I think I'm going to build a Latron first

MBraedley

@SaintWacko No (Canada), but I have a VPN and an cloud attached IoT device that I can't connect to.

SaintWacko

I also want a bow

@MBraedley ah. Our internet at work (at&t) is down

GodEmperorDune

@SaintWacko i went with a vectis

SaintWacko

20:51

@GodEmperorDune my goal is to go with a stealthy build

quartata

workshop beta has only been out for a few months and already hat in time has been ruined by dabbing mods

sad

SaintWacko

@GodEmperorDune ooh, want

Yuuki

@GodEmperorDune That just proves my point.

user15026

I just need to fix my controller, I think that would help. Or get a new one.

user15026

(The thumbsticks are sticky and I don't know how to fix that :/)

GodEmperorDune

20:53

@Yuuki mission level is an abstraction of how difficult the enemies are to kill

it is literally the range of enemy levels you will see

Yuuki

How do I know how well I'll do against those enemy levels though? The enemy level is useless unless you have a level of your own to compare it to.

And given what we've discussed, there is no such thing on the player side of things.

SaintWacko

@Yuuki experimentation?

Yuuki

@SaintWacko Which kinda defeats the point of the number existing, does it not?

GodEmperorDune

@SaintWacko pretty much this

nintendo-switch

GodEmperorDune

20:58

@Yuuki no, because you experiment to find out that "i can kill level X enemies easily enough to survive" then apply that to other missions of similar levels

Yuuki

If I'm in Xenoblade 2 and I see a level 90 monster, I have some pretty quick shorthand for "hmm, maybe this guy's too tough". I don't have to throw myself at the T-Rex, get stomped, and then realize "yeah, this guy's srsbsns".

SaintWacko

I'm tempted to just go home and play

GodEmperorDune

for example, extermination missions are on the easier side IMO because there isn't a set pace at which you need to kill enemies

SaintWacko

It's hard to work without internet

GodEmperorDune

but in mobile defense/defense you have to be quick or you will get overwhelemed and die

sabotage and capture you can proceed at your own pace up to a point, but eventually the alarm will go off and you can't stop it so you need to be able to survive fighting more simultaneous enemies

Yuuki

21:00

I also know roughly when I am able to beat the T-Rex, I don't have to throw myself at him every 10 levels or so to see how well I can do.

Maximillian

Capture can be annoying if the target runs behind big mobs.

badp

@fredley good news, I'm caught up with as much Bowjack as there is on Italian Netflix

there was less depression than advertised

GodEmperorDune

@Maximillian i hate corpus captures where i keep getting stuck and have to shoot cameras to proceed

and those stupid bird robots tossing me all over

not to mention the bursas

Maximillian

You need knockdown resist!

Atlas is immune to knockdown when he's on the ground.

user15026

I hate teh cameras because apparently they have a blue beam that I can't see

Maximillian

21:13

They have a little scan arc, yeah. Shooting them should disable their blocker-beams.

GodEmperorDune

@Ash :/

Maximillian

The moving scan beam ones are on spy missions.

Ave

now to set up everything and move everything

Maximillian

I've never been sure if they actually set off the master alarm or not....

Actually, they just turn on turrets and barriers when triggered.

So it's the panicked troops that throw the alarm.

user15026

ah, well, at either way, I can't see them and it sucks

user15026

all of a sudden it's just RED LINES and PANIC

user15026

(In general, I wish games relied less on mainly blue palettes)

GodEmperorDune

21:18

@Maximillian those ones have yellow beams iirc

Maximillian

Grineer are mostly brown palettes.

GodEmperorDune

or maybe that's just the greneer variant

user15026

I need to play with my settings to see if I can make stuff a little clearer, sometimes it gets so dark :/

user15026

(While I enjoy having people that will game with me, playing more of this stuff has made me realize how much my vision affects my ability. :/ Like I figured fine motor would make things tricky but I also apparently have vision stuff that sucks too. I need me some cybernetic eyes.)

@Nzall If you don't like it don't watch it?

GodEmperorDune

oh that reminds me, if anyone fights crewmen, they should drop pigments that can be turned in at the tenno lab in the dojo so that we can paint it pretty colors

Ave

@Nzall is it anything4views?

Nzall

Like, I don't mind it, but I thought naked upper bodies were banned from Twitch?

user15026

21:27

(aka if this is going to turn into some sort of fat shaming or otherwise, think very hard before continuing)

Nzall

for both men and women

GodEmperorDune

@Nzall please don't bodyshame

Kevin van der Velden

@GodEmperorDune I have several now, we just need to figure out a colour scheme

GodEmperorDune

@KevinvanderVelden i vote rainbow

user15026

ALL THE COLOURS

Kevin van der Velden

21:28

I don't think we can have that many colours sadly

Nzall

It's not the weight I'm concerned with, but the fact that he's lying there half naked with no shirt on while Twitch rules AFAIK say you need to have one on

regardless of gender or body type

GodEmperorDune

@KevinvanderVelden :/

user15026

@Nzall then idk report it or whatever, I dont know why you're bringing it up here and why mentioning his weight and such was important to your point

Kevin van der Velden

Oh, there's primary, secondary, tint color 3, tint color 4 and lights

GodEmperorDune

i picked the crewman one to research next because crewmen are very plentiful at the lower levels

Maximillian

21:29

Getting Dojo colors is HARD.

The things you have to grind for some of the pigments is just plain bonkers.

Nzall

@Ash Because his weight is literally the focal point of his stream, it's in the title and everything

GodEmperorDune

@Maximillian yeah eff those "run bosses 50 times" ones

Kevin van der Velden

That just sounds like a challenge

GodEmperorDune

i think the hardest would be to get the stalker pigments

because not only do you have to kill bosses, but then you have to run missions until one randomly shows up and then kill it

user15026

@Nzall which is all well and good but if your only issue is with the shirtlessness being against the rules, report it or whatever. I still don't get why you brought it up in here specifically the way you did

GodEmperorDune

21:31

and i actually killed one but then failed the mission and lost the lewts

Nzall

To start a discussion?

Maximillian

Can't we just go over to Sherwin Williams and pick out some paint? I get space ninja and all, but the blood of my enemies that occurs in very small amounts is nuts.

GodEmperorDune

once we pick a palette are we stuck with it or can we change it later?

Nzall

anyway, as you recommended I reported it

Kevin van der Velden

@GodEmperorDune you can change them afterwards

Nzall

21:34

@Ash The main reason I brought it up was because we usually tend to have frank discussions when something vaguely controversial appears in the gaming world

GodEmperorDune

@Nzall i mean if the twitch rules are "wear a shirt" then you should wear a shirt when streaming yourself on twitch

Kevin van der Velden

Oooh that's annoying, you have to select a color and then you can farm the color

GodEmperorDune

@KevinvanderVelden yeah

Kevin van der Velden

goes to kill 2000 crewman

GodEmperorDune

@KevinvanderVelden i think its a guaranteed drop

Kevin van der Velden

21:36

10%

GodEmperorDune

crap really?

Kevin van der Velden

But it is 10 drops per... drop so 200

Nzall

@GodEmperorDune Part of the reason is also that this guy wasn't just some 2-3 view streamer. He had over 600 viewers who were just seeing him lying there on his back while he was hammering on a laptop

GodEmperorDune

@Nzall is this supposed to be like a performance art response thing against the so-called "boob streamers"?

22:35

@Ash Rhino is so simple to play. His second power is a second layer of hit points with 250% armor. You can shrug off large parts of levels.

His passive power isn't anything cool, just does a radial stomp when he falls from heights.

He's got a charge that bodyslams through things for high damage, his bolt-on-armor, a party damage buff, and the last power stomps the ground, kicking up all nearby enemies into the air in slow-motion, keeping them suspended and defenseless for several seconds.

user15026
