Operation Scarlet Spear – A Simple Event With An Awful Grind

March 25, 2020March 25, 2020 Medic 0 Comments event, new war, operation, scarlet spear, warframe

After a promise of “early March”, Operation Scarlet Spear has arrived, alongside a bunch of other changes. The other changes are numerous, mostly bug fixes, as well as a Nova skin and some augments. But the Operation is… something else. And not in a good way. For starters, it’s buggy. This is basically guaranteed for every new event that comes out these days. Scarlet Spear is no different. It’s full of crashes. Okay, sure, a lot of this is being fixed as we go along, but it’s a pain in the ass. Between people crashing and the bugs, not much… [Continue Reading]

Here's one of my earliest catches, a Pikachu I got from some of my first field research, alongside some Pokemon I won in a claw machine. Yes, my duvet cover has dinosaurs on it.

Things You Can Do While Playing Pokemon Go Indoors and Not Going Outside

March 23, 2020March 17, 2020 Medic 0 Comments pokemon, pokemon go

The main gimmick of Pokemon Go is that you’re supposed to go outside and walk around and explore your surroundings. Outside is where the Pokemon all are, so you have to go catch them! Unfortunately, that doesn’t work too well when you’re supposed to be locked up indoors. Does this mean you can’t play Pokemon Go at all? Of course not! You just have to be creative. And maybe do some slightly different Pokemon things when you get bored. Here’s some silly suggestions and alternatives to playing Pokemon Go. Use an Incense. Incenses right now are incredibly useful. They last… [Continue Reading]

Genesect Special Research

March 22, 2020March 21, 2020 Medic 0 Comments mythical pokemon, pokemon go, special research

Normally I wouldn’t spend €8.99 on a single thing in Pokemon Go. I’m actually pretty tight and will only spend a tenner or so every couple of months for raids. But considering how all EX-raids are cancelled for the time being and my local community is struggling to get enough players for EX-raids anyway? I probably won’t ever be able to ever GET a Genesect for a long, long time. So I bought the premium research, A Drive To Investigate. So A Drive to Investigate does the same thing that most previous Special Research does. You do a bunch of… [Continue Reading]

Pointless Event Moves in Pokemon Go

March 21, 2020March 14, 2020 Medic 0 Comments charge attack, community day, pokemon go, special move

Unlike the main series games, Pokemon Go has a much, much smaller move pool. Because you can only ever have one fast attack and two charge attacks, you can’t use as many moves and getting the moves you want is tricky. You need to spend time wasting TMs to get the moves you want. Or you have to wait for a community day or other event to get the moves you want. But while the majority of new moves added via events are good, some of them are… weird. Questionable. Pointless even. Here are some of those moves. Ampharos with… [Continue Reading]

Self Damage Is No More

March 20, 2020March 13, 2020 Medic 0 Comments explosions, kuva bramma, lenz, warframe, weapon

Self Damage no longer exists in Warframe, at least when it comes to explosive weapons. No longer can you blow yourself up while using an explosive weapon. You don’t have to play Inaros or Wukong to use the Kuva Bramma. Squishy frames no longer instantly die from misfiring alternate-fire modes like the Corinth. And I no longer have to scoop my Ogris-using friend off the floor every other mission! Actually, I take that back, self-damage still exists in some exceptions. For example, the Nightwatch Napalm mod for the Ogris. But in 99% of cases? Self damage is gone. Self damage… [Continue Reading]

On Being Finished With Kuva Liches, For Now

March 19, 2020March 12, 2020 Medic 0 Comments grind, kuva lich, warframe

The other day, I converted a Kuva Lich, sparing its life and allowing it to live. Sparing this Lich meant it had the chance to one day join me in future missions as an ally. But it also meant that I was finally finished with Liches. This last Lich, an Impact-based one, gave me the Shockwave Ephemera. Because of that, I now had a complete collection of Vengeful Ephemeras. Alongside having one of each type of Kuva Weapon, I was done. Until the next batch of Kuva Lich-related updates, I no longer need to hunt Liches. However I could still… [Continue Reading]

The Weird Pokemon Go Event No One Really Noticed

March 18, 2020March 14, 2020 Medic 0 Comments event, machop, makuhita, mankey, meditite, pokemon go

Over the weekend that introduced season two of the GBL and brought back Altered Forme Giratina, something strange happened. There was clearly an event, but no one seemed to… notice. It just happened. There was no real announcement, nothing. But it was there. It wasn’t a good event, but it was there. I didn’t notice this event myself until I bought the 1 coin Incense pack and used one. Because of the current pandemic that’s sweeping the globe, Incenses have been buffed. While an Incense used to last 30 minutes and spawn 5-8 Pokemon, increasing if you are traveling, walking… [Continue Reading]

Completely Giving Up On The Pokemon Go Battle League

March 17, 2020July 23, 2021 Medic 19 Comments go battle league, pokemon go, pvp

I mentioned a while back that there was now a ranked battle league in Pokemon Go. I thought it was cool back then. But now? It sucks. To the point that I have given up on it completely. It’s just not worth your time or your Premium Passes. Why? There’s loads of reasons why! Weirdly Small Metas Despite there being so many Pokemon, there’s already a massive, established meta. If you don’t have the meta-relevant Pokemon, you’re going to struggle. Or you’re going to spend a lot of stardust powering Pokemon up. It’s not too awful in the Great League,… [Continue Reading]

WAY Too Many Events In Pokemon Go – Are Events Becoming A Problem?

Editor’s Note: This article’s kinda weird now that places are locking down because of COVID-19, but the article does still apply because the raid events ARE still happening, despite lock downs. The major difference is that these raid events have also turned into PVP events too. Wow. This year has been absolutely jam-packed with events in Pokemon Go! We have had so much to do! In March alone, except for normal events like Community Days, we have had an event every weekend, with overlapping events too! In fact, it’s reached the point where I can’t keep up!

It seems like the Corona Virus is currently hitting quite hard, with reactions from “seal everything off completely because this is highly contagious!” (a good thing) to “meh, it’s just a cold!” (a bad thing). Now, I’m no expert, so I’m not going to talk about things I don’t know about. All I’ll say is that you should wash your damn hands. But I DO know about Pokemon Go. And Pokemon Go is cancelling or postponing events left right and center. Yes, events are being cancelled. The first big cancellation was that all events in South Korea, Japan and Italy… [Continue Reading]
