So, first off, happy new year. First post in 2019. And, you all have sent me lots and lots of questions in my inbox, and it’s gotten to a point that I’d stop ignoring them and actually say something.
And the reason why I’ve been ignoring them, is I didn’t know how to properly answer to the over 120,000 emails I’ve gotten since the 1st! You guys and gals are awesome by the way.
Right, time for the answer to the question that most of you have been asking..
What happened to the move to GoDaddy? You can see the new post in the General blog for a full explanation of that, and why I’m staying with Arvixe.
And the other question.. I saw you playing Warframe again, I thought you quit. What happened? This is going to be a giant post, so I hope all of you are comfortable. So yes it’s true, I have been playing it again. But this time, I’m actually getting the guidance I mentioned I needed; a few actually willing to help me out and tell me what I should be aiming for. Unfortunately, the words I’m being told are also clashing with others, who are finding alternate (but not as efficient) means of getting stuff.

So, here’s what’s been going on in Warframe;
-Epical Sarge (one of Kovo’s friends from VRChat) is a veteran in the game, and sounds like he knows his shit. He even gave me 300 platinum to buy new warframe and weapon slots!
–Getting the Soma to replace the Karak, as much as I loved that rifle, this… I wish it was a girl, so I can make sweet love to it. It sounds and looks powerful, and ready to cut a
Level 30 in half.
–Sarge taught me modding to where it actually makes sense to me– stop focusing on the three damage types (Impact/Puncture/Slash) and focus on pure Damage and Crit chance.
–Joined Kovo’s clan, and proved that you do indeed have to be in one in order to access Clan Dojo research panels. Why a “You need to be in a clan to access this panel” popup couldn’t be put in, is beyond me. But, at least I got the Archwing launcher blueprint.
–Got to complete a few story missions, which has made me mentally drained. Trying to kill a Level 30 that’s immune to all of my attacks, I’m going to have nightmares.
–Got past Saturn, Uranus and even Neptune.
–There’s no way I’m going to get to MR8. Absolutely, positively, no fucking way. I’m going to be stuck at MR7 forever. Why? …It’s parkour. There’s no time limit, just a ‘fuck up counter’ that fails after four attempts. And I lost count on the times I’ve failed from doing the Practice runs… think it was 50? Just shows how much I suck at parkour.
So what I mean about “advice clashing with others” (aka the reason why I haven’t been playing today), is Sarge was going to give me the parts to Soma Prime. Except, one part is in a relic that he has proven is ‘valted’, and has been for 3 & 1/2 years.
Kovo yesterday, told me that I could still get this elusive void relic from doing a specific bounty through Fortuna. It’s like, something snapped in my mind and I felt like everything I was taught was a lie. And what’s worse, one of Kovo’s friends was in the same call and heard what was going on, and laughed. This person doesn’t believe in what veterans say, feeling “the game’s been updated since then”. And now that I saw proof, I really didn’t know who to believe in anymore.
Going to Sarge, it’s like I was offending him or something, showing me his own proof and saying that yes, you can get it this way, but it’s not as efficient of a chance to get that specific relic as grinding them.
I, I just don’t know what to say or think. So that’s why I just stopped playing. I hope I didn’t lose Sarge as a friend.
So, that’s why I’ve been back in Warframe, and why I haven’t done the move (yet).
