Update 15.12.0

[[DE]Rebecca]

Additions:

 

Network Compression and Congestion Control changes are being made to Warframe!  What does this mean for the average player?  The tl;dr is that better Network Compression means lower latency during Missions, and a lot less stress on your bandwidth!

 

If you’d like to know more about the technical side of this exciting update, please read the full explanation here:  https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/391492-network-compression-and-congestion-control/

 

Strict NAT Improvements:

 

Strict NAT is a problem that affects a small portion of our playerbase, but for friends that want to play together having multiple layers of Strict NAT can be an issue.  Earlier this week (and with more work in this update) we’ve begun to test a solution that will help players suffering from Strict NAT better connect with friends without needing to worry about their own network configurations.

 

For more on this exciting update, please read the full explanation of our NAT testing here: https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/391742-strict-nat-improvements-and-testing/

 

 

Syndicate Syandanas are now available!

 

Each glows more intensely with achieved feats achieved in mission.

 

Wear your accomplishments and allegiance with pride by donning these six new Syndicate Syandanas!

 

The Telos, Synoid, Sancti, Secura, Asita Rakta and Vaykor Syandanas glow with increased intensity as different accomplishments are achieved in missions

 

TELOS SYANDANA - With every enemy struck down the Telos Syandana glows stronger.

SYNOID SYANDANA - The Synoid Syandana glows more brightly with every scan performed.

SANCTI SYANDANA - The Sancti Syandana pulses every time the Tenno uses an ability and continues to strengthen with each ability used.

SECURA SYANDANA - This Secura Syandana pulses every time a Tenno picks up credits and glows brighter as their wealth increases.

ASITA RAKTA SYANDANA - This Asita Rakta Syandana ignites a jet of flames that burns brighter with each stealth takedown.

VAYKOR SYANDANA - The Vaykor Syandana flares up whenever the Tenno takes damage.

 

Obtain these Syandanas through Syndicate Offerings. You must reach the highest Syndicate Standing to purchase the associated Syandana.

If your post in a Hotfix/Update thread includes 'Still no fix for...."

 

1) Include a link to a relevant bug report/screenshot that has details on reproducibility and the nature of the issue.

Without these details it is increasingly difficult to troubleshoot the specifics involved in resolving a bug.

Yay, new syndanas!

Hmmm, the Telos Syandana's sword doesn't look like the emblem. Interesting. Can't wait for some Syndicate signature weapons (like a sword for the Arbiters for example).

[SexyTRex]

The synoid one is a bit weak for those that have scanned it all.

[Nesit1]

Another joke about Rakta Ballistica. No way.

I bet it'll be at 16.0

Thx for the patch, cuties :3

ASITA RAKTA SYANDANA - This Asita Rakta Syandana ignites a jet of flames that burns brighter with each stealth takedown.

 

 

 

- Doesn't this seem like about the most maladaptive, counter-intuitive function ever?

How did you get video to work?

[Bawalbaba]

See these syndanas prove that Hexis is just out there fighting for the kicks and giggles. And they talk about being dogmatic arbiters seeking peace through discipline and practice.
