Fun Cheap Weapons to get Cheap Rivens For

March 7, 2019March 6, 2019 Medic 0 Comments rivens, warframe

Riven Mods can be daunting and scary and people will often say “I just want a riven for the meta weapons! I don’t care about anything else!” That’s certainly true when it comes to trading and trying to make a profit on selling riven mods, and it’s probably true as well when you finally complete that riven challenge, only to get something for a weapon you either don’t like or don’t have. But you shouldn’t be dissuaded. There’s plenty of weapons that can benefit from a riven, even if they’re not the super meta super OP weapons everyone wants. Here’s… [Continue Reading]

Finding Friends and Middle Ground – Gripes with Nightwave

March 6, 2019March 5, 2019 Medic 0 Comments efficiency, nightwave, warframe

It’s only been a week since Nightwave was released and already there are patterns being made. And with any new thing, there are always gripes and problems and complaints. Nightwave certainly has a few of them and it’s mostly to do with the challenges. The first week’s set of challenges were all pretty easy. Sure, about half my clan didn’t have any filled Ayatan Sculptures so they needed to run around and find some more to fill (that’s where the Ayatan sortie luck comes in handy) but all the challenges were doable for an end-game player. For a lower level… [Continue Reading]

Arbitrations – Easily Forgotten End-Game Content

March 5, 2019March 3, 2019 Medic 0 Comments arbitrations, warframe

Arbitrations are missions in Warframe that I would consider as end-game content. To unlock them, you have to finish every single mission on the star chart, many of which are locked behind quests or missions. Sure, you can unlock every node somewhat quickly but you need good gear to do so, or at least someone to carry you. But unlike other end-game content, like Eidolon hunts on Earth and fighting the Orb Mothers on Venus, or even trying to do marathon survival missions, Arbitrations kinda feel… forgotten and not really wanted. The concept of an Arbitration is simple. You have… [Continue Reading]

Looking at Warframe’s Milestone Weapons

March 3, 2019March 1, 2019 Medic 3 Comments azima, guide, milestone, milestone weapon, sigma and octanis, warframe, weapon, zenistar, zenith

With Warframe’s milestone login system, you get a little reward every time you sign in, with bigger rewards every 50 and 100 days. On your 100th, 300th, 500th and 700th logins, you get a choice of one of four weapons: the Azima, the Zenistar, the Zenith or the Sigma and Octanis. Considering you get one of these weapons every 200 days, it can be pretty hard deciding which one to choose. You can get your first special weapon on your 100th login, with a choice between the Azima, the Zenistar or the Zenith. The Sigma and Octanis becomes available from… [Continue Reading]

EX-Raids are Pointless

March 2, 2019February 28, 2019 Medic 0 Comments ex raid, pokemon, pokemon go, raid

EX-Raids are pointless. They’re silly. A waste of time. Tedious and often unfair. But not actually difficult or anything. You see, I took part in an EX-Raid on the 22nd. It was from 1pm to 1:45pm at one of the fountains at the local town hall. Funnily enough, the in-game gym hasn’t properly been updated so it, alongside many of the Pokestops nearby, is kinda inaccurate. Either way, I drove there, met a bunch of people who were also there to do the EX-Raid, did the EX-Raid, caught my Attack Forme Deoxys and then left. Getting stuck in traffic as… [Continue Reading]

Fifty Platinum – What Should You Do With It?

March 1, 2019February 27, 2019 Medic 0 Comments guide, Platinum, trading, warframe

When you start Warframe, you’re given 50 Platinum. Platinum is the premium currency of Warframe which, unlike many other premium currencies, can be traded with other players. Most of the time. The 50 Platinum you start off with though can only be spent in the Warframe Market and can’t be traded with other players in any way. The question is, how do you spend that Platinum? It’s very tempting to instantly spend that 50 Platinum on one of the cheap Syandanas for your Warframe. The Uru Syandana for example is very nice, with a metallic sheen to it and a… [Continue Reading]

The Wolf of Saturn Six – New Alert System

February 28, 2019February 28, 2019 Medic 0 Comments

Remember Alerts? Those random missions you could do that would give you pitiful amounts of Endo, Credits and other resources? The sort of thing that could genuinely earn you more of the reward inside the mission than finishing the mission itself? Well Alerts are going away, replaced by Nightwave, a new hybrid thing between alerts and miniature quests with an episodic feel to them and unique rewards to obtain, as well as a credit shop to buy all the things you normally get in alerts. The first of these episodes is the Wolf of Saturn Six, who is a rather… [Continue Reading]

On Articuno

February 27, 2019February 25, 2019 Medic 0 Comments articuno, bad luck, legendary, legendary pokemon, pokemon go

I have way more pent up anger towards non-existent monsters than I have any real right to have. Just yesterday I was complaining about how Latias was a right little bitch, and now I’m about to go on another 500 word rant about another Pokemon. Today’s victim is Articuno, the first of the Legendary Birds from the Kanto region. One of the old originals. Basically, Articuno is a bastard. Okay, maybe I’m being a bit unfair. The main reason that Articuno is a bastard is that I have failed to catch Articuno for a very long time. Basically, in the… [Continue Reading]

Shiny Pidgey and Rattata are now in Pokemon Go!

Hope you weren’t feeling burnt out by all these last-minute events in Pokemon Go, because Niantic just announced another one! https://twitter.com/PokemonGoApp/status/1100139961750298625 Today is Pokemon Day, the 23rd anniversary of when Pokemon Red and Green first came out on GameBoy in 1996! To celebrate, Niantic’s taking a walk down memory lane by dedicating an event to the Pokemon that players encounter at the beginning of those games. From February 26 to February 28th, Kanto legendaries are returning to raids (probably the birds, though I’m crossing my fingers for Shadow Ball Mewtwos), Pikachu and Eevee spawns will be wearing flower crowns, and… [Continue Reading]

Seen 7, caught 2. One of which was a guaranteed shiny catch. I had better odds with Giratina.

Latias is a Bitch

February 25, 2019February 23, 2019 Medic 0 Comments latias, legendary pokemon, pokemon, pokemon go

All of a sudden, after the Lugia and Ho-Oh event and the Kyogre and Groudon event, there’s suddenly a Latias event. Just Latias. The red and white airplane dragon Pokemon. You know, the one that’s paired up with Latios, the blue and white airplane dragon Pokemon. This mini-event popped up out of the blue just as people were getting kinda hyped up for the Clamperl Research event. In fact, a lot of people didn’t even see the announcement as it kinda got buried by the Treecko Community Day announcement. So yeah, Latias is currently in Level 5 raids, somewhat sharing… [Continue Reading]
