    Stories like that of Job is why my position is that if it were to be determined by some means that the God of Abraham actually exists than that should be corrected at the earliest available opportunity. If almost any claimed gods exist than that should be corrected.


  • Yeah, that’s frustrating. Reminds me of learning my grandfather attributed me being accepted to my collage of choice to the fictitious despot rather than my own ability (at least in spite of being religious he’s kind, this kind of thing with him tends more to be by way of unfortunate implication rather than intent).

    Thank you. I’m aware it won’t change their minds however for one of them I have been established as a source of correct information (close relative and lifetime of giving them correct info)…

    They don’t seem to internalize the information but I still try to provide them with correct information to counter the christofasc programming.







  • Yeah, understanding how mods interact gets progressively more important as you go. I can explain how to make your weapons better, at least, quickly:

    Each ‘category’ of damage is multiplicative to other categories while all mods within a category are additive to each-other. The categories are Base (ex Serration), Elemental (ex Stormbringer), Multi-Shot (ex Split Chamber), Critical (ex Point Strike & Vital Sense), and Faction (ex Bane of Grineer).

    So, you could get the Arsenal to show you high numbers slapping all your elemental mods on a gun but it won’t be as effective as using 1-2 of each category. So, make the combo element that hurts whichever faction you’re fighting and use the appropriate Bane mod and you should cut through Sedna like you’re back on Earth.

    But there’s more; There’s several types of special mods that are only gotten from a few places:

    • Nightmare Mods: They give two positive effects. Nightmare mods tend to cost less mod cap and give less of the effect but getting two effects from one mod tends to be worthwhile (so long as both effects are good). They’re only acquired from Nightmare Mode Alerts that show up in places you’ve already unlocked.
    • Corrupted Mods: Give a positive effect and a negative effect. The positive effect tends to be larger than you could get on a normal mod when maxxed out and for some weapons or warframes the negative has no or almost no impact (ex less fire rate on a gun with 1 shot magazine, you reload rather than be slowed by fire rate). You get these buy opening the Dragon Vaults on Deimos missions which will require Dragon Keys.
    • Galvanized Mods: Give a positive effect and a conditional positive effect (ex more crit chance for a few seconds after getting a headshot) these are extremely powerful mods but you can only get them from the Arbitration shop on relays, which uses Vitus Essence from the Arbitration gamemode as it’s currency. You need to do every node on the star chart to unlock it.

    You can use these various special mods to squeeze even more power out of your gear, but you’ll likely need Forma to make best use of it all. And Orokin Catalysts.






  • I thought about as much but it helps to hear somebody else say it seeing my situation. I’ve been trying to get the Alternox & Sibear and when either gets frustrating taking a break to crack relics. I’ve been poking at Liches every now-and-then as well. Honestly, it’s the Forma cost of getting all the MR out of them that’s my biggest stopping point on that, not the Liches themselves.

    Really helps to hear I’m more or less on the right track, thanks!




  • What I’m trying to say is that we don’t really understand much about the origin of the universe, so saying “I don’t believe there is a god because of lack of evidence” seems too harsh.

    I don’t think many Atheists come to the conclusion based off of arguments about the origin of the universe. It appears to be more common that logical or ethical contradictions within theistic doctrine lead to its rejection.

    For me personally it began with the divine hiddenness problem. Being raised in a faith that states its god wants a relationship with me and yet is wholly imperceivable to me. From there building with additional arguments such as the abhorrent ethics of their mythical figures when viewed from a frame of reference other than ‘they’re the good guys because their god said so’.
