As an aside on that kind of tribalism.
There is a valley on Africa where scientists have discovered the remains of multiple neolithic tribes inhabiting it long term in caves. The men all have markers indicating that they grew up in the valley.
All of the adult women do not.
Google was always incorrectly viewed as a paragon.
Its apparently missing a dolphin.
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.
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.
In the comments its not just chrome that is affected.
Its apparently all Chromium browsers.
Yes. Notably, it seems like the same behaviours exist in Bonobos and in Chimpanzees.
In bonobos it is the young males that leave/are exiled from the group, and in Chimpanzees it is the young females.
