oooh Warframe. my name on there is Drakarai. I play the shit out of that game. Rank 10 or 11 atm.

March 6, 2015 11:41 p.m.

So I've been wanting to start playing one of those Free to Play MMOs I've narrowed it down to Warframe or Planetside 2. Any input?

TF2.

I'd suggest zOMG if Gaian Interactive didn't get a shit ass new CEO who cared only about money and is destroying the site. That site is where I forged my relationship with my daughter, I don't want it to disappear.

I enjoy Warframe. I would play it more, but my computer is a little buggy and I'll often get dropped from games unless I join in progress.

Warframe is very grindy (although that's kind of necessary in an MMO). There's not much PvP, but it's great if you like min/maxing and a mix of ability- and weapon-based gameplay.

You start with fairly balanced gear as well. You'll quickly learn to customize to beat the enemy.

The in-game microtransactions are also good. Platinum (the buyable in-game currency) is kind of expensive, as are the bundles Digital Extremes releases every so often, but you can get good at looting and selling stuff to other players for plat, then two-stepping to something you actually want.

The progression to endgame is pretty long, and it's fairly rewarding (if time-consuming).

I don't know anything about Planetside 2.

Warframe is much better than PS2 IMO. but i also wouldnt say they are the same type of game.

Warframe is currently in a type of instance based FPSMMO however they have been slowly changing that. DE the makers of the game CONSTANTLY making the game better and releasing new content. Honestly if all game companies were like Digital Extremes the worlds games would be of a much higher caliber I feel. they have good community outreach and will directly input things into the game that are of fan creation.

oh also. Loki Prime FOR LIFE

Jumping in because I saw it mentioned in the recent comments feed...

Warframe is a good game. Played it a ton on PS4 around the end of Summer. It's a good balance of microtransactions vs working for a free to play model imo. I stopped because I moved onto other games really, nothing pushed me away. I do feel like if you leave it's sort of hard to reenter, though. You miss out on a lot of new content and stuff, and your awesome loadout might be irrelevant now. It's like jumping out of magic for a few sets if you miss a few updates.

I do recommend though. Hell, it's free.

Jay says... #9

Oh and pshhhht Loki Prime? I only played tier 2 frames lol. Zephyr was fun. Mirage was another favorite (she was released a little before I stopped playing). I feel like I'm forgetting my favorite though.

March 7, 2015 1:36 a.m.

Tibbles, stop telling Jesus where to put his panties.

Tarmo at Mythic? Ugh, Is this even gonna have a large effect on the price?

March 7, 2015 3:44 a.m.

JexInfinite says... #12

PS2 is not worth playing. The devs of Warframe, DE, are competent, and listen to the design council. Warframe is a great game, constantly getting better.

PS2 is a pile of shit made by idiots who want money. They took 1 1/2 years to implement changes which were necessary for game balancing. SOE should be criticised more.

For Warframe, once I get my Loki Prime, which will be in a couple years, because study > Warframe, I will never play anything else.

March 7, 2015 3:47 a.m.

bijschjdbcd says... #13

Also has any information about Battle for Zendikar been released?

I was just about to order 3 Tarns and 4 Mistys. Not to mention a playset of Remand.

Not sure if this is an intelligent investment or not.

What are the dates for MM2?

March 7, 2015 3:48 a.m.

JexInfinite says... #14

$30 to draft MM2 means that Goyf's price will not change.

March 7, 2015 3:48 a.m.

Hjaltrohir says... #15

bijschjdbcd No information has been released but depending on how much you need the fetches I would hold off until fall as there is a very good chance the zendi fetches will be reprinted.

MM2 PRotours are 27-29th MAy I think

Remand could be printed in MM2 but I am less certain on that as it was printed in the DDs.

March 7, 2015 3:51 a.m.

bijschjdbcd says... #16

I would get Rav Remands because I'm a fan of old stuff.

I don't need them that badly but holding off until Fall (Autumn?) may be too long, I would prefer to own a playset of the same artwork/set.

March 7, 2015 4 a.m.

Zendikar is coming in October, I believe. the 2nd if I recall correctly. Also, I just went 4-0 with my u/w control deck tonight, so it is a good night

March 7, 2015 4:04 a.m.

bijschjdbcd says... #18

I went 3-1 at my stores Modern, Only loss was to a spicy Silence deck. Basically UW control which had some wacky cards which blew me out a bunch, I was playinf UR Twin.

March 7, 2015 4:28 a.m.

bijschjdbcd says... #19

Thoughts on new Ojutai?

Thoughts on DoT cards for our deck?

March 7, 2015 4:31 a.m.

elpokitolama says... #20

New Ojutai isn't that exiting. Unless you give him vigilance, of course.

March 7, 2015 9:53 a.m.

VampireArmy says... #21

Welp fuck Wal-Mart and target packs are now 4.25

March 7, 2015 10:09 a.m.

DNB says... #22

shouldn't buy 'em there anyway

March 7, 2015 10:10 a.m.

VampireArmy says... #23

I mean the nearest store rips people off for fnm so rock and a hard place

March 7, 2015 10:12 a.m.

Won some packs at FNM. Opened a foil Torrent Elemental. Looks so cool. Also the promo Hordeling Outburst is nice.

March 7, 2015 10:18 a.m.

I think Wizards is all: meh... Goyf can't be a rare because Goyf can't be a rare because Goy can't be a rare.

Also this is my page.

March 7, 2015 11:08 a.m.

VampireArmy says... #26

more like they have no idea what they're doing.

March 7, 2015 11:17 a.m.

Well... yeah, of course they don't. Spanish WotC has already confirmed banning out Abzan.

March 7, 2015 11:20 a.m.

VampireArmy says... #28

Who knows anymore. Reading that article about their employees really puts it in perspective. They're ruining the game with all of this terrible quality product. They're slamming out all these "premium" product that's usually worth much less than stores are selling it. modern masters could have been a really good thing had wotc enforced some kind of price cap on it. I remember the first time around paying $6 a pack which was like ok understandable. Premium packs and all that but then out of no where they were 10-12 a pack because the store was running out. I can only see the failure of mm2. This isn't helping anyone but greedy stores and wotc is either too stupid to know it or does it on purpose to maximize their own profit (which is more likely) but at this rate they will have killed off their game.

March 7, 2015 11:53 a.m.

Where could I find that article?

March 7, 2015 11:54 a.m.

DNB says... #30

for some reason I love Gudul Lurker

March 7, 2015 noon

VampireArmy says... #31

It was somewhere in the original just chatting thread. It basically details how wotc encourages laxiness within their teams and discourages innovation.

March 7, 2015 12:01 p.m.

Is it this one?

March 7, 2015 12:04 p.m.

VampireArmy says... #33

Indeed it is

ChiefBell says... #34

This is what I was saying regarding a degree of market regulation a few months ago, and all you free market capitalists were like 'nah, we trust wizards, it'll be fine'. Ho hum.

March 7, 2015 12:07 p.m.

VampireArmy says... #35

I don't remember being a part of that one. Free market is normally an okay thing but checks and balances are also needed at a point. I think we have reached that point

March 7, 2015 12:15 p.m.

ChiefBell says... #36

Too right we have, haha.

March 7, 2015 12:17 p.m.

I've never understood the appeal of a free market. Call it the Canadian in me, but without a properly structured market things go to hell and the little guy is easily exploited.

March 7, 2015 12:24 p.m.

ChiefBell says... #38

The European in me agrees with the above.

We're a minority here though. No matter.

March 7, 2015 12:25 p.m.

VampireArmy says... #39

I find a mix of both to be sufficient. General observations led me to that conclusion

March 7, 2015 12:30 p.m.

ChiefBell says... #40

Yeh. There's always a happy mid point.

March 7, 2015 12:33 p.m.

@Bij: I like Anticipate and Narset for sure in u/w control. Ojutai's command is actually not that great, I don't like it. I haven't done any testing of the actual ojutai, but I do think he is a playable sb card

March 7, 2015 12:39 p.m.

elpokitolama says... #42

In my country, most people don't want to hear anything about mid points... Duh. :(

March 7, 2015 12:39 p.m.

Femme_Fatale says... #43

CommanderOfBolas, Ojutai's Command is best in Bant with the access to goyf and voice and other green goodies.

March 7, 2015 1:42 p.m.

VampireArmy says... #44

Gah. I'm so close to figuring out the kinks in my deck!

March 7, 2015 1:47 p.m.

Femme_Fatale says... #45

And I'm almost finished writing up the description of my deck featuring Lili x Narset (like that is ever gonna happen).

March 7, 2015 1:54 p.m.

I'm running out of sexual page claimers ...

Anyone know any good sideboard hate for affinity when playing u/b. My mana base doesn't allow me to splash for other colors.
