Let's not lie to ourselves now, it really is working as intended. People are buying Wukong with plat to bypass the time gate.

A couple of weeks/months from now, people will start "passively" collecting Nitain and won't need to farm a huge amount in a small time window and no one will care about Wukong any more.

I already don't care enough to buy him with plat. I haven't bought any 'frame with plat and I'm not going to start now. To be frank, I'm more annoyed by U18 being pushed back than by DE's usual 'let's put some time-consuming stuff in so people will buy stuff'.

Oh, I wasn't lying. I'm well avare how DE conducts buisiness and I don't even condemn them for it. They need money, people want virtual stuff, DE provides stuff. Having chance to get stuff is already generous, considering it's DE's chief source of income.

I'm actually baffled by people who don't realize it. I just found post on official that made me literaly facepalm: "Now I realise that game is themed in such a way, that "either pay to get cool things, or suffer farming them." I find that quite offensive"

On other note - double affinity weekend. I thought to keep off Warframe till U18, but guess, I could atleast top daily syndicate points.

Heh? We've known for a couple of weeks it was set to release next week and I haven't seen any post saying it was delayed.

We don't have countdown page up, for whatever that's worth. Maybe tomorrow.

Emergency post: Rhino's Palatine skin has lesser codpiece. Not worth the money. Avoid at all costs!

Uh, also nitain alert, if you're desperate for real news.

@Question Marc: I kept hearing and seeing that it was due the last week of November. *shrugs*
@Prany: I don't play Rhino enough to shell 100+ plat on a skin anyway.

Last I heard, it was supposed to launch december 2nd.

I don't mean to be a smart ass, Des, buuuuuuuuut -

But

Next week technically start in november, making it the last week of november by technicality.

"Technically right" is the best kind of right!

Well yeah, that's what I've heard — after yesterday's update brought us Monkey Business.

Ah, so all is well in the world and we can go back to whining. Excellent.

Let us do it with renewed energy:

Wukong is gratuitous catering to the chinese audience and unoriginal!

Well, Wukong has ability to literary poke someone with a stick. Thats achievement in some category. It's something going for him. And that's nice.

At least AGGP had a field day with Wukong.

LOL the first ever successful trial/raid (since this was just the second attempt, and the first one predates most of the current member's start with the clan LOL).

Hype site. Something, something redeem! Also Stalker.

A new devstream came and went.

See link for a summary on the officials.

Highlights:

• Login reward rework on U18
• Rhino rework on U18
• A motherfucking tree

This is it boy, we're getting Trees 3.0, get hyped!

Also, the hype site is up, as shown by Prany. Speaking of which, Stalker seems to have received a new body but lost his neck.

Oh my god, yes, Stalker is fat. Never unsee it now.

"Uff uff - stop running so fast Tenno! Give me back my twinkies!"

- Stalker

"Mastery Rank will give increased chances for rare rewards from Login Rewards."

FINALLY a decent reason to go past ten on that thing.

Heh thinking that maxing your MR over login reward might be worth it is wishful thinking but it's as good a reason as any.

But really, who needs more reasons when MR is linked to Extractors?! Don't you want to place more Extractors on the star chart!? DON'T YOU!

Mastery is for skubs and casuals. I level up my junk to get as many wreath icons in my codex. Wreaths goddamnit! I do it so everyone would know I'm fucking badass.

They used to be stars, which is even more balss to the wall awesome, but no more. Alas such is life.

but prany my fellow tenno, look closer, those aren't wreaths, they are laurel crowns! and it doesn't get much more badass than laurel crowns, getting one is like winning the olimpics, being the last man standing in a gladiator battle, AND getting elected Cesar at the same time.

Right, laurel crown. You wouldn't believe how hard it is to find translation to English for that thing. I settled for best I found.

Anyhow, gladiator Ceasar sounds totally awesome, but... stars make me Kirby. It's such a hard choice between both.

Second teaser site!

That's no moon.

Well actually it is, but that is beside the point.
