The whole prime access is a p2w mechanic that prior to Liches was arguably considerably more important.
Now with Lich, Sister and Railjack weapons that are all play-only access.
Galvanized and Prime mods you can’t p2w.
Nevermind the whole Steel Path and incarnon adapters, where while a small set is plat available, and the only good weapon in that set is the Angstrum, and aforementioned Galvanized mods.
Prime resurgence is a less predatory version of prime vault. It allows free players easier and more precise access to unvaulted items, including armor and accessories that were previously impossible to get as a free player.
See the price drop for Glaive Prime today. Dropped off a cliff because its unvaulted.
Its the same mechanic you describe above.
If you miss it in the free battlepass, it comes back later in a random chance per mission to get a single drop.
You’re arguing in bad faith by praising DRG for using the exact same system Warframe uses.
Also 4 digits playtime here, but that is irrelevant.
You’re not wrong, but you are confusing dark patterns with p2w. Sadly they all do dark patterns now. Even Deep Rock Galactic is loaded with them.
It arguably isn’t anymore, although it looks like it is. Yes, you can buy prime frames and weapons, but can’t buy the mods or arcanes directly from the game to outfit them. Even then, prime weapons on their own are not the best in the game by a long shot, and a prime warframe does not guarantee it being “meta”.
The weapons that are the best are locked behind story quests, and even once you unlock one of those vendors, only one of them that you can buy with platinum is any good.
They were considering adding a destiny style story skip, but when they asked for feedback it was so negative they immediately relented.
Love the guy, but he also misses over that warframe has monetizion that beats the pants off of all of the others.
To be fair, the Milky Way is surrounded by a few remnants of smaller galaxies it previously collided with and absorbed.
TL;DR from their(newpipe’s) reddit:
Youtube did an update that added an additonal parameter to the calls, allegedly as an anti-bot tactic.
Because of how it worked, it broke all of the various frontends, but Invidious based access still worked.
They posted a release candidate that fixed the issue to Github first, then I picked it up from their site several days ago.
Based on the article, the problem is that Github isn’t being treated as legacy software, but isn’t able to load a full file using the currently popular JS framework they are using.
There isn’t on kbin.run
Thanks, commenting to find this later.
Its from the book 1176 BC by Eric H Cline.
End of the bronze age. Have a set of letters between citystate rulers, one writing that help is urgently needed as seaborne invaders have been spotted nearby and his military is off with the hittite empire.
The response back, in modern slang amounts to “lol ur fucked.”
Its adding whiskey, gin, rum or bourbon, depending on the tea(white/herbal or Rooibos for no caffeine) for variations on the Hot Toddy.
Cream of Earl Grey black tea if before 3pm.
If after 3pm, A Bourbon-flavoured rooibos.
If after 8pm, its not just bourbon flavoured anymore.
My Oma was in the Netherlands in the 1930s. Her family sheltered part of a jewish family(the elderly mother who was too sick to escape to North America, and one of her sons, a lawyer, who stayed behind to care for her.) This was before the invasion and the start of the war.
At the time, late 1930s, she said that everyone knew something bad was happening to the Jewish people the Nazis rounded up, but not what.
After more than a year of occupation, they were turned in by a neighbor for extra rations because none of her family needed daily visits from a doctor. The Nazis took the two Jewish people and her Dad into a camp.
A local factory owner, some months on, tried to have everyone from the area released in return for his compliance in letting them use his factory output. Her dad was among those released, but they refused to release any Jewish prisoners. Her parents then immediately joined the resistance and helped it out until the end of the war. The factory owner allegedly ensured that the output to the Nazis was changed to be only subtly defective units, pipe walls too thin, cooled too quickly etc.
(I was making a joke by describing Skyrim. The college is Winterhold.)
They took this from a facebook RPG memes that its been trying to get me to look at. Saw it on my feed today.
You’re confusing me with someone else. Havent talked about FOMO in warframe with you.
FOMO in warframe is events like the just finished Jade Shadows, one offs like Scarlet Spear or the (very) infrequently run Plague Star.
We are in agreement about DE uses Dark Patterns, you’re just more jaded than I am. Calling it p2w though is a stretch IMO.
