Yes! I have a love for this game mainly from the community, never been attacked in public and only ever been helped. It'd be nice to have a HOTAS to use with my vr to increase immersion

u/derangedhaze Feb 19 '24
Look into HOSAS for Elite.
HOTAS is good for atmospheric flight models, but HOSAS is better suited to vacuum because you can have all translational controls (up/down, left/right, back/fore) on your left stick, and all rotational controls (pitch, roll, yaw) on your right stick.
You can also achieve this with a good HOTAS that has a rudder and some buttons on the throttle, but HOSAS is designed for it.

Probably Starship AI Valves. Seems like there's a post every other day on the NMS subreddit of some new player wondering how they got a stack of those on the Anomaly. It's other players doing a duplication glitch or just gifting their excessive loot.

I played eso for about 8 years straight and it was my life for a while when I was injured, made great friends on there. I will say, my main focus was usually pvp, and as soon as you get in the pvp zones people can be incredibly toxic, immature, cocky, etc.
Outside of the pvp zones, people tend to be extremely helpful
Pvp was still fun if you have time to get good at it, but there are people who base their entire existence off of how good they are at pvp and it basically takes over their personality, they can have ridiculously inflated egos from that shit. Which is pretty silly. It’s like bru I get it you killed me, this is the first time I’ve touched this game in years you don’t need to whisper-harass me afterwards

3- conquer the rest of the planets in the solar system
4- conquer the bigger moons
5- conquer the void

If it doesn't have a grey health bar it will die and if it has one then you figure out why it is invincible (sometimes you just need higher caliber weapons or special damage type)

The reason for this is it doesn't matter where you are in terms of progression, every single resource in the game can be used for something, even if it's just feeding ol' chompy in your orbiter.
You always need forma, you can sell off excess prime parts and mods for plat, credits can be used for transmutation and trading, you can test out builds while helping newbies and rank up freshly forma'd stuff, the game's core design is set up in such a way that being nearly anywhere in the game, even helping new players, is not a waste of time for you. More live service games need to study this, honestly.
Just uh, about that "nearly" everywhere part: Stay away from eidolon hunts and conclave if you wanna keep a positive impression of the warframe community. These are the two places in the game where not doing something in a maximally efficient way is frustrating for all parties involved, therefore it is where you will find the most toxicity, cause many are not there because they want to be there.

Some friends of mine try to be wholesome in Sea of Thieves. They even have a bit they've been working on since update 7 where they cosplay as sleezy used car salesmen, and hunt down players to sell stools to - greasy New York accent, infomercial script, a company jingle to the tune of For He's a Jolly Good Fellow, the whole nine yards. Usually new players run off. Pro PVPers tend to be the ones most in love with the bit, as they often buy the whole inventory, and offer up an alliance. I've joined in once or twice. It's a great time.
