oooo goodies! neat

thank you, darmak, i am not a discord user

I like the look of that kitgun arcane that replaces reloading with a recharging battery. More support for the stab and shoot playstyle!

Drascin

Should those goodies show as messages or something? Cause I input the code but no messages seem to be in my inbox.

Oh man, Riven changes. The salty tears, they're delicious.

Looking over the list, I'm seeing a few things that got the full 1-pip kneecapping, but most of it is pretty small incremental changes. So ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think the bigger news from that, is they took Sentinel weapons out of the drop tables. That's...drastic. Granted, I never liked it when I got one, and apparently it was PowerBall-winning if you got an Artax drop so even more than the usual lottery winning from a good Riven. So... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Like, I can't stop ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ing at these Riven changes, that are going to cause a small but significant number of people to flip their business hard.

I wonder how much my unrolled Artax riven is worth...

The salt is amazing on that thread too.

I like how they're freaking out as if Rivens even mattered in the first place. All they did was make crappy guns mediocre and good guns overpowered. This game doesn't have any sort of content that requires a gun that can blow a hole through Lua but they're acting as if the end game was destroyed, lol.

Well, it helps, but yeah - catalyst+forma+normal mods generally breaks everything on its own (or just some warframe abilities on their own).

I’d guess that most complaints about a riven balance would come down to people angry that their ridiculously valuable rivens are suddenly less ridiculously valuable. The balance pass wasn’t very drastic, but from a riven market perspective you’re potentially looking at a loss of a few hundred plat.

My only thought is "oh no, my Tiberon Prime will only punch through half of Lua now". They didn't even touch Detrons.

I found that letting the 10 hour version play in the background while I did other things let me focus on those other things.

Saldonas

They didn't touch my kohm riven, which is really all I cared about, since those tend to be just on the borderline of having enough +status chance to get you the magical 100% without needing that extra 60/60 mod.

I was also always salty when I got sentinel rivens, so I'm completely fine with that change, they just need to add in a way to acquire them specifically.

Taranis

So apparently zaw/kitgun rivens are their own hidden subcategory of riven? Meaning that none of the pre-fortuna pistol rivens I’ve stockpiled could end up as kitgun rivens, because no kitgun pistol rivens have dropped until the update? This is really counterintuitive if that’s the case. Pistol rivens are pretty cheap so it’s not really a big deal though.

I could probably just flip them anyway. Veiled pistol rivens will surely increase in price anyway.

I have never had any sympathy for people that get obsessed with playing a fake market that is forever subject to balancing adjustments. The health of the gameplay is far more important than their desire to horde worthless Bison Bucks.

I don't care about any of the actual changes to rivens, but I think the change is bad in general. I'd have preferred it if the changes were for future rolls, but had no impact on existing rolls.

And let me tell you how much that makes my brain hurt, as someone who writes code for a living.

Then balancing wouldn’t have much of an effect at all.

It certainly would for all new rivens and new rolls. The market as it was just prior to the updates would not change, but it would quickly alter.

Then you just have old rivens spiking through the roof.

I am fine with this, riven strength being balanced by popularity/strength was always how it was described, I haven't followed it closely and figured it was all changing under the hood.

If this is the first time they've done it people will nark up a bit more. If it starts happening every biggish update it will be less of a thing.

Maybe in the future people won't be stupid enough to drop 6k plat on a digital thing on the internet.

Lalabox

in these early days, it's really nice to just have the time to explore orb vallis and appreciate the ridiculously gorgeous vistas

a lot of it does get covered by fog, and there might eventually be some annoying things to do with navigating, and at some point I'm going to spend a lot of time just flying over it with zephyr


but it's wonderful to just go and find new places and beautiful caves and everything

BahamutZERO

archwing launcher is infinite use instead of consumable now so you don't even have to use zephyr

I don't have an issue with folks valuing rivens high or low, buying them at all seems ridiculous to me. My thoughts are for the investments in your own rivens, outside of the market. It seems sad that how much folks pay for them should matter at all in the balancing mechanics.

yeah but i was using zephyr even when i had 140 launcher charges built. It's just a fun and satisfying method of control

Yeah, I had over 1k launchers built, still just void dashed everywhere.

Using that Hoverboard thing I really enjoy that the game ragdolls you when you hit a rock while going fast enough.

I just finished Second Dream for the first time today. Enjoyed the cutscene stuff. That last mission was hot, hot garbage though. I can't remember the last time I was that frustrated with a video game.

Kohm just isn't very good without a riven and the number of Kohm rivens isn't going to be that high. The stuff that got hit looked to mostly be weapons that are a bit newer and hence started at 3 pips but proved very popular since or ones that have a prime/vandal/wraith/etc. variant introduced since the disposition was set for the base weapon and have proven really strong in that variant form.

My Arca Plasmor losing a pip hurts a bit but it still really hurts sortie level enemies because the base weapon is still so good.

Seems the heads are the only things that really matter with MOA construction, they define the precepts it can use the rest just changes its health/shields/armor ratios by negligible amounts.

So the heads matter, the rest can probably safely be relegated to looks.

This has no right being this much god damn fun but I spent more time just skating and finding places to do tricks than I did doing anything else. DE absolutely killed this update and Fortuna is a fucking masterpiece. All the details are awesome, Venus is fucking gorgeous, and the crazy part is that there's even more to come. I fully plan on living in Fortuna goofing off for a long, long time.

Nips

I played the Fortuna update tonight.

I got to shoot a bus-sized spider robot in the head, until its head exploded. Then it bum-rushed me, without a head.

10/10, would headcap again.

Lalabox

although, the fortuna enemies have enough lazers and whatnot that zephyr isn't quite so invincible this time round
