Apparently I've played for some time... odd, I stopped playing a long time ago.

Only way to rank up is to increase the level of new frames/weapons to 30. Forma'ing them and re-levelling weapons doesn't count towards your overall rank. You have to obtain fresh new items and increase their level in order to gain ranks. Unfortunately in Warframe there are awful frames and weapons, and there are OP frames and weapons. I hit rank 10 and decided to just stop levelling up new random items and just play the game and achieve whatever possible with the best weapons I had available to me. Once you hit that mindset, you can end up with two or three loadouts you can use to farm the Prime gear and rare part drops for better weapons.

I really liked warframe, I just ended up stopping because I dislike having to pay platinum to unlock inventory slots for weapons that are required to increase your level. There's definitely a point where you have to pay to progress, at least your rank anyway.

For me it's pretty much a standard "farm your way to the top & get rewarded" thing... I got to Rank 4 by not spending a single Platinum despite being a little hard for me as my demand for using it grows.

How is this game? I was thinking about picking it up and giving it a shot. Looks a bit different, but I felt like I would lose interest.
I love it. There is a lot to do and I haven't even ventured into the inner island yet, way to dangerous. Its pretty exciting when its pitch black outside, holding your torch, trying to find your way back to your camp and T-Rex comes from no where and starts chasing you, or even worse, raptors, cause the are fast and often times hunt in packs. For $25 its a no brainer. I bought a copy for my buddy because he wasn't to sure about it, both of us have put over 40 hours within 5 days. Its rough at first, because even the small dinos will kill you quickly, but as you level up and get new equipment to make is when it balances out some. I love riding the island on my raptor, you can even have a pack set to follow and attack with you. I'll get some more pics.

Bloody hell, I don't understand the dice game in Witcher at all. I'm not sophisticated enough it appears. It's easier for me to beat few guys and earn some easy bucks :D
think of it as poker with cards limited from 1 to 6.

It is a lot of fun. So you are going solo? I am hosting a private server to play with some friends. May go public server later, not sure yet.

i am doing a tutorial solo :D since i am more a autodidact type ... i do not learn while reading but more while practicing and trying ... atm i can finaly hunt those Dilophosaurus (lv between 1 and 6 depending the zone) that where so annyoing at night ... but ... i just got my head ripped off by a Carnotaurus Lv1 ... 2 time in a row, learning the hard way i don't mind... as long as it is a dino who kill me ... human ... aren't worth it

and i mean PK player, it's what i call psychopath ... due to some review i saw, since a freshly spawned player is easier to kill than a dino ... it seems that quite a bunch of weakling decided to hunt for human, i don't blame the mechanic ... cannibalism is a great idea :roll: but since the game is a survival sandbox then any objective (personal) is fun ... be it drug force feeding some other player to keep them locked or dragging them while they sleep(offline) into a dangerous zone or just killing them...

luckily i saw PVE server ... i will give a shot later ... (still look better than RUST ... by a long shot) but the PVP side doesn't attract me at all ahah ...PVP+sandbox=no law or rules : everything will go south and that as soon as possible
they call that games possibility i call that harassment :) (the fact that a more experienced player could hinder your gaming experience is ... oh well whatever :D )

:toast:

edit: example of thing learned ...
tree: axe= more wood than thatch pickaxe= the opposite
mining: axe= more stone than flint pickaxe = the opposite

actually it's really fun even solo

weeeeeheee

I am so late to the party. But I just picked up Lichdom:Battlemage the other day and I am loving it.

I noticed a few others in this thread who tried it and didn't like it. I get that, it is SUPER linear, the narrative is just filler and sometimes a tad annoying, but the spellcrafting / loot system is so much awesome on so many levels.

You gotta approach this game like you approach Diablo or Borderlands, really. You just jump in the fray and start farming shit, screw story or pathfinding, just burn everything and be creative about it. Once you get a hang of the spellcrafting system, yummy yummy yummy. It is quite brilliant in its simplicity, and offers so many options...

I might, but so far the expansion additions are a bit lackluster and thin to me.

Benchmark Scores bench...mark? i do leave mark on bench sometime, to remember which one is the most comfortable. :o
Army of Dilophosaurs (6) has taken out 3xraptor (at same time), 2xcarno (at the same time), and 1x T-Rex
yep ... i lost my 2 Dilo in the cave exploring process ... not due to denizen of the dark but ... they got stuck in the floor/wall/younameit

Titanoboa, Pulminoscorpius, Araneo ... well that was fun luckily they weren't higher than Sara (still jump when a white female TB got me by surprise ... i love that game ! )
2015-06-18_00040.jpg 2015-06-18_00043.jpg 2015-06-18_00035.jpg

i got that altho ... (and a recipe)
2015-06-18_00041.jpg

even looted a metal pickaxe and some tranq arrow

need to see a pack of 6 dilo on a Spinny ... a T-rex is a chihuahua compared to a Spinny (if they kept the regular scale between the 2 )

oh gosh...
2015-06-19_00037.jpg
i am glad i did craft a scope ...

by the way @m0nt3
I haven't even ventured into the inner island yet, way to dangerous.
well ...
2015-06-19_00039.jpg
i didn't encountered a T-rex... but Spinny, quite a lot ahah
i thought since i did read the game required to be more than 1 player to achieve something ... it would be a wipe fiesta in solo ... but nope once lvl 5 it goes butter smooth (21 atm) ok i am pretty sure i will not be able to down or tame a Bronto or anything else above a rex

wait ... there is something above a rex? oh yes ... the Spinosaurus ... i really have to try to go ballistic on a spinny ... once i got my stash stocked up

ok i just saw a rex (being stomped by 2 Bronto's)... the devs didn't kept the scale between the Spinosaur and the Rex ... it's disapointing :roll:
2015-06-19_00040.jpg 2015-06-19_00042.jpg

i was wrong they've kept the scale ... the spinny is indeed the bigger of the 2
2015-06-19_00043.jpg 2015-06-19_00046.jpg
well ... both are ... scary as hell ...ahah

Benchmark Scores I dont have time for that.
Waiting for the FF14 HW drop. Got my pre-order on for early access in like 7 hours. cant wait. That will probably take up most of my time with some good quality single player games in between sessions.

How is FF14? The combat has always seemed a bit slow paced to me.

I might, but so far the expansion additions are a bit lackluster and thin to me.

I would play gw2 again if thy freakin updated the pvp- and balanced it somewhat. The amount of non-sense cheese builds going around is completely absurd. Also the made ranger the most noob class ever. You literally can press #2 and have skill.

They need to add a gvg system. That was the only thing I liked with gw2 was 15v15 gvgs. And 1v1s used to be fun.....

What is the goal of this game? To survive? Level up? Build a base? It looks cool it just seems like you would run out of actual things to do. Just curious. I think gonna try it

Bought ARK on release but wasn't too impressed with several things, especially the controlls. I'll go back to it when they works some more shit out.

I'm currently playing Rust...I just always seem to be playing this game.

no reall goal, surviving is the main ... lvling up is another building a base ... well take it like a unreal engine 4 minecraft with dinosaurs and more interest than MC

for me i can't run out of things to do ... i take it like the real life ... but with dino xD i also saw some screenshot of player doing huge @$$ forteress out of woods xD

but i enjoy it solo ... i just hate human ... way more than dinosaurs xD

Bought ARK on release but wasn't too impressed with several things, especially the controlls. I'll go back to it when they works some more shit out.

I'm currently playing Rust...I just always seem to be playing this game.
well it has changed a lot it seems since you went in ... :laugh: that game got way more updates and correction in alpha than any other i tested ...

and the game is not in release stage (as it's still an Alpha)

awwww the rex and spinny are not scary anymore ... (tho i failed my tame attempt ... not enough time before going to the job :roll: )

So I picked up Ark and have been playing it....

Its pretty fun and all, but I must say.... I know its an early release game, but it runs like complete crap..... I have to play on Low Memory mode just to get an acceptable FPS.... that being said, this is one game where I am more determined to play than actually worrying about my FPS. (This makes me appreciate my games that run at a smooth 60 fps so much more lol)

Was able to build up my little thatch house on the side of a mountain right next to a waterfall..... only issue now.... I tried to hunt a Triceratops and it owned me...... and now I cant find my freakin house I built..... :( lol....

Why are the dinos so OP? Does their level even mean anything?

From my experience, the Dino lvl doesnt mean much, as the stats seem random. You can probably punch a dilo at low levels, but the bigger ones avoid. A trike can be taken down with a slingshot, if you can get on a rock that he can't climb. They aren't OP, i find them to be somewhat to easy. When you have a dilo army or a raptor mount :)
