After giving it some thought since the announcement to re-open the sub, I arrived at the conclusion that I do not want to be a part of this community anymore, both on Reddit and Lemmy. This will be my last post here and I won’t see any replies but feel free to discuss anyway. Don’t worry, I won’t let the door hit me on my way out, but before they load and open (sad Volt main noises) I’d like to explain why.

I initially didn’t care about Reddit blackout because I was using the official app, thinking the API changes won’t affect me, but since my favourite subreddit decided to join, I did some reading on it and I see why people decided to do the blackout. In order to support everyone participating, including r/Warframe, I also deleted my 7 year old Reddit account with over 200k Karma through the Redacted.

While the people in the Warframe community both here and on Reddit are generally very nice, helpful, and I honestly like interacting with you, I do not want to support a community run by people who bailed on the blackout. I’m not interested in making my own community either because further splintering, albeit miniscule, doesn’t benefit anyone.

I’ve read your reasoning for reopening but don’t agree with them. To me, they are excuses we as a community could work around and resolve but you decided to take the easy way out instead of working with us. We could go into the discussion about this in length but it wouldn’t change anything because the decisions have already been made and I’ve no interest in trying to change your mind as much as you don’t care about changing mine.

Switching to Solo Mode.

You either die a Legend or live long enough to be the type of psychopath that uses this light UI theme.

I don’t understand…

So, the CEO knows this, decided against upgrading the viewpoint putting his giga wealthy customers at risk, who likely could sue him or just straight up ruin him, decided to go with it anywa, AND boarded the sub himself.

My brain doesn’t comprehend this logic.

A lot of boss fights are boring but they work as they are, but some need a straight rework, like Sergeant, Jordas Golem, or at least some touch up, like Lech Krill (mostly due to bugs), and Ropalolyst (also bugged as hell).

That’s some karma.

DE said they plan on reworking assassinations to be more like Jackal but they never got to it and Parazon isn’t as much used anymore.

One thing to add, that haven’t been thought to me in the CPR course.

It’s fucking exhausting and you will get tired very soon. The training dummy doesn’t require nowhere near as much force as a real person. To give you an example, it’s quite common to crack or break a rib of the CPR recipient even if CPR is done right. That’s how much force you have to use. Without the required force, your pushes won’t reach the heart.

Make sure there is someone else who knows how to do CPR or at least is looking how you’re doing it and can repeat that or follow your commands once you switch.

I’ve only had to give someone CPR once and I haven’t been as tired in my whole life. No way the “I’ve been giving him CPR for 30 minutes…” You see on a TV screen is real. I felt like I’ll need CPR myself after 3 minutes.

I base it sorely on my knowledge of the weapon, it’s theoretical placing in the current meta, and what stats the Riven has or if it is unrolled.

So, for example, if I get a Veldt Riven, I’ll be happy to sell it for 10 if at all, but if I get a Kuva Bramma Riven, even unrolled can go for a few hundred.

As for stats, a lot of people are idiots who just flock to the CC, CD, MS stats regardless of the weapons Riven Disposition and will pay or demand massive amounts of Platinum for them but will instead completely misjudge a value of a good QoL Riven on a low Dispo weapon. They also don’t understand the impact of some of the negative stats. Having -60% magazine size on a bow has absolutely no effect but some people will be convinced this makes the weapon unusable. Likewise, some will claim -Zoom is harmless but then don’t realize it’s for a Incarnon weapon that needs headshots so this makes it harder to aim with.
