    • Yes, whenever I feel like it I do change to my operator unironically and sometimes for the utility they bring
      • Operator, I wish I could say I love them both equally but for cinematic purposes I still go into Operator, I do swap in between often for regular gameplay however
    • Not much, I just got them all and maxed them like any other Mastery Grind, the only effort that went into them was using a different combination each time, no repeated parts across the board
      • Yes, not a single part repeated across all my 8 AMPs (mote included)
    • Yes, obviously they make a great change when compared to none
      • Operator: Emergence Saviour and Magus Repair, AMP: Eternal Onsalught and Virtuos Strike
      • Yup, all Arcanes from Operator and AMP maxed
    • Unairu
      • Yes, Im into being a tank or protector
      • “Prestige” Obtained everything and have a lot of million points lying around
    • Barely
      • Yes, everything that can be
      • I did all my Focus Grind before there were more than 1 Method, so just obtaining Affinity on ESO
      • It’s okay, one daily run of 20 minutes, ESO could be better however
    • Equally effective, I can kill with my Operator as much as my Warframe (Chroma) really, unless the Enemy cant be armor stripped
      • I would say in general lines is okay, any Warframe can complete any kind of Mission, same with operator
    • Invencibility, both for me and my Warframe so I tend to play around it for Defense or Control
    • Bring Void Dash back

















  • Well, that makes sense for the most part, but there’s the important detail that there are streaming services that grant you a fully uncontrolled rig, I just cant think of any that are free. In fact, Geforce Now used to do this, until legal issues arised from a clause being extremely specific making users unable to legally play on a device they werent physically in contact with, real shitty but allegedly not Nvidia’s fault or the cloud streaming service as a whole.


  • Im seriously intersted on how is Cloud Gaming (in the way Geforce does it) part of the “you will own nothing and be happy” issue, im not saying the trope isnt real, im saying that I cant think how does it fit into this concept. On my view this is akin as going into a Cyber Cafe you could walk down the street anyday, you dont own anything either but your money’s worth isnt sailing without you receiving what you paid for


  • So I got the email today and I just want to share my experience.

    Im with NVIDIA on this one, let me explain. I’ve been using the service for the past 2 years (half of it’s lifetime since release 4 years ago) and I thought to myself from the get go “this is unsubtainable” and that I would have nowhere to game on high performance after they inevitably shut down the free plan. I was wrong, and this does translate to a good experience

    To elaborate, queues in free tier have 3 states, the first one being “go grab a snack and you’ll be back to the game launcher” which is when the queue has a little over 100 people that took up to 10 minutes to clear, this has been the most common in my experience due to my region’s timezone being the most far apart from the people in my continent (America) and thus I get to play when most people arent and such the queue is very accessible

    The second state is “everyone is asleep you get in immediately” which I just happen to incur into every other weekend I devote to gaming till 4 AM (which would be like till 9 AM for the rest of the continent)

    And the third and most uncommon scenario I have face is “A game is very popular right now, everyone is playing regardless of timezone” which has happened a number of times I can count with my both hands, the most recent one being past september the servers were so saturated it took hours to get in even at night time of my region. THIS HOWEVER DID NOT STOP ME FROM USING THE SERVICE, why you may ask, well the answer is more “how”, because the service allows you to pick manually a region to play in, I instead of defaulting to my local server, manually chose one in Europe, and sure enough Europe had many available servers, I could play in again like if it was the first state, this obviously came with a slight increase in input delay but given the PvE nature of my games, I went unbothered with it. Until things calmed down on my region and I could go back to my server

    Conclusion is, GFN Free Tier is absolutely worth the cost, and having abused the shit out of it this is good news, it means they really dont intend to shut it down for the foreseeable future which is the most important part, but also it might improve thanks to the generated revenue where there previously was none. Unlike Youtube and Spotify this seems to be non-interruptive which is welcomed as well, obviously you cant just pause a game midway for an ad, they understand this is not how things work.
