Eidolons require Operator powers to kill, and they award drops that make operators more powerful...
I don't see the problem. You hate operators... stop trying to kill eidolons. Done! DE didn't take away anything that you liked. I'm sure the sortie and raid communities still need you.

I do, so don't presume to speak for all players when you don't, thank you very much. I really like the direction they're taking the game with the dual focus between warframe and operator.
I thought I was alone. I'm not. Thanks.

Same exact issue for me about five minutes ago.

The Tenno are growing... good... GOOD!

Ha, yes! Cannot wait to try that!
...on the Stalker!

If you've been playing for two years, you should have easily finished the minor (and not at all foolish) requirements to start this quest. Were you just fashion framing it this whole time?

Spoiler
For the guard phases, carefully go "operator", void bash (melee) them to stall them, void dash (crouch then jump) through them to knock their weapons loose, then get back in your frame and quickly melee them down. When they die, go operator again and use your primary fire button to fry the red targets around the outside of the Queens' platform. You'll get three of the targets, then you'll have to repeat with more guards.
For the Queen only phase, her shield drops when she's about to fire. Time it right, and get a void dash through her when it does. Profit!
Took me a bit to figure it out too; Teshin's words aren't very clear.

It will likely work just like it did for the quest, for a short time, ending when you take too much damage, and very situational. I don't think it's meant to be a huge change to the way people play now, just a little something extra and interesting. Just guessing though. I guess time will tell.

Wow, DE... just... WOW! You have totally made this update worth the wait, and I feel comfortable saying that you totally surpassed the Second Dream. I am in awe of what you've done here, and I'm feeling very satisfied with what still lies ahead in this update that I haven't done yet. Beautifully done! I personally experienced no bugs, and the updated visual effects were so well done.
Thank you! Thank you so much for this:

SpoilerAbner did his best to regain his composure, though he couldn’t help but continue to swear at the animal as he scooped his rifle into his arms again and swung around to take aim. “Wait, Gray…” Sol barked trying to stop her pet from charging, but she was too late. The pair was just too willing to joust again. Gray darted towards the operative, snarling louder with each step. Abner frantically whipped his rifle up in front of his face. His aim was normally superb, but with the stings of pain shooting through his arm, he was far from his best. He managed to take two shots; both sailed wide right of their intended target and clapped into the dirt. Gray leapt to bite at his prey’s throat, but Abner was able to swing his rifle around and parry the furry projectile. The kubrow tumbled through the air and slammed into the earth. As rough as the landing sounded, it barely slowed him down; he was back on four paws in half of a second and snarling at Abner again. Unfortunately, he was staring down the barrel of a prepared lanka this time.
Sol grimaced at Gray’s mistake. Her pet was not fighting intelligently enough, and she chose to intervene. Abner took a step backwards and steadied himself; he would not miss his target again. His rifle had shredded holes through Ash’s armor like it was made of paper. Gray would not survive even a single direct hit. Sol leaned forward from her knees and used all of her strength to spin her glaive through the air. Abner was too focused on the approaching kubrow to notice her, and with the animal in his sights, he held his breath and pulled the trigger.
Gray slid to a stop, startled into stillness. The air vibrated with both the sound of a fired energy blast and the steel glaive blades colliding with the rifle’s casing. Abner grunted as the weapon was knocked from his hands and slid a few feet away from him, and Sol exhaled a sigh of relief. There was a fog of confusion around the two combatants, but it seemed to slowly dissipate for them both simultaneously. Gray took special notice that his target had been unarmed, and with a low growl, he began his charge again. Abner glanced downwards; his rifle was too far away to reach. He found the hilt of the dagger at his waist and clenched it tightly. It was a common tactic of his; prepare the dagger, but do not draw it until it’s too late for the enemy to escape its radius. The distance between them was rapidly closing, and Sam, Dex, and Sol watched intently. But suddenly, Gray stopped. He stopped running, he stopped snarling, he stopped everything.
The others were all bewildered. The abrupt demeanor change seemed very strange at first, but they would soon understand in their own time. Sol sensed it first. It began with the familiar chill up her spine and a strange smell across the wind. Gray stretched his neck upwards and made alternating glances to his left and right; his ears were perked up into the air. Dex and Abner followed suit. Whether it was the smell or the now very audible shifts in movement in the trees around them, they noticed that their group was no longer alone. Sol looked at Dex, and he shrugged. Whatever was out there wished to remain hidden. Had it been there all along?
A screech suddenly filled the air. It was identical to the sound that Sol heard earlier standing outside of her Orbiter, and identical to the bellowing that accompanied Abner when he arrived on the scene. This sound, however, was much closer, and instead of one, there were many. The Infested had been slowly approaching throughout the entire night, stalking their prey, and they’d been communicating it at every turn. Sol turned to look at Sam. His eyes darted back and forth, and his hands were shaking again. She could hear the components of his pistol juddering wildly. It took him a moment to realize that she was looking at him. ‘We’re in trouble,’ he mouthed to her with a bead of sweat rolling down the side of his face.

SpoilerSol gritted her teeth, the pain still pulsing through her core, and began to try to stand. The hunter scoffed; another shot blasted from his rifle and burned through her thigh. She whimpered loudly and met with the ground yet again. Dex gasped angrily and bolted upwards. He spun around, both of his hands wrapped tightly around the hilt of his sword, and faced his new opponent. The rifle was already pointed at his head.
“Stand down, Tenno… or join her,” he said to the boy, his voice gritty and eloquent.
Dex’s muscles tensed, but he could not ignore the obvious futility of an attack. He stayed in his spot. “What is this?” he asked the newcomer. “Who are you?”
There was a hiss in the distance that captured their attention. An outer door to the Orbiter craft behind them was sliding open. Half of Samuel’s body hung out from behind the rim of the doorway, and in his hand was a pistol that he had pointed in the intruders’ direction. “Abner,” he yelled. “Stop this.”
“There you are,” the hunter replied, almost to himself. He let the barrel of his rifle lower slightly, putting Dex more at ease.
Sam’s bravery heightened; he stepped out from the doorway and onto the soil. “Leave the children be. You don’t belong here.”
“Children?” Abner scoffed, more mockingly than before. “There are only warriors here, Samuel. It is you who does not belong.”
Sam scowled, taking offense to the remark. The muscles in his arms tensed and he gripped the pistol tighter. He took slow steps towards Abner attempting to exhibit an upper hand in the situation. “I know why you’re here.”
“I imagine that you do,” he said. Abner exuded confidence. He took a moment to give Dex a glare that screamed ‘Don’t you move, boy’ before moving towards Sam in return. “Our Syndicate is not fond of traitors, as I know you are aware, and your life is forfeit. But I seek more here than just your death.”
Sam’s throat was quivering again. The fear of speaking with the Red Veil’s version of the Angel of Death was not so comfortable for him. He was at a loss for words. He suddenly realized that he was frozen in his tracks. All he could think to do to appear formidable was to point the tip of his weapon towards Abner ‘harder’ and try to stop his hands from shaking. The operative was not deterred; he smiled wider as he approached, eventually stopping when he stood above the warframe that he’d just damaged. Sol twitched in pain still, but she was able to move enough to observe the scene going on around her. Abner lowered the barrel of his lanka and pressed it to Sol’s forehead; his eyes never left Sam’s.
“Surrender, Samuel,” he said confidently. Sam gasped; his defeat was imminent. Dex made a motion to step forward, but Abner’s eyes were on him the second his weight shifted. “Or she will suffer more of this.” His proposal was directed at both of them. Sam’s eyes moved back and forth from Sol’s warframe to his pursuer for several seconds. There was no way out. So, under the proverbial weight of the scenario, he began to lower his pistol. Abner grinned and nodded, content with the decision. With three parties under his control, he did not notice the encroaching movement from his other side until Gray was too close to avoid.
Sol’s kubrow bit down fiercely onto Abner’s arm and a mist of sparks erupted from his armor. The hunter growled like a trapped bear and scrambled to keep from dropping his rifle. Dex and Sam were both shocked into petrification by the suddenness of the animal’s attack. Gray weighed at least forty-five kilos and had the muscle of a young, amateur weightlifter. Tiny grunts and curses fell from the man’s lips as he struggled relentlessly to keep himself from toppling to the ground. Eventually, he managed to take a swing at its snout with the butt of his rifle. Gray let go of his chew toy and reared away from the attack, an advanced maneuver for a trained pet. As Abner scampered away from him, his paws hit ground and he hopped in front of Sol and growled menacingly at their foe.
“Good boy,” Sol whispered, reaching out to rub his scruffy fur. Gray nuzzled at her hand for a moment before returning his gaze to the enemy.

SpoilerSol parried Dex’s blade away and shuffled backwards. He gave her only milliseconds to right herself before he was on her once again, swinging his skana back and forth in a quick combination. His first swipe missed her; the second, she parried with the blades of her glaive. Dex was relentless in his attacks following each one up with a fiercer swipe. However, he was putting his anger behind each swing, and it slowed him down slightly. Sol was sheer poetry in motion when she wielded her Ash warframe. She was lightning fast and as agile as a kavat, and with each dodged attack, her confidence grew. Still, she didn’t like being on this end of Dex’s onslaught, and any small mistakes could be fatal.
A heavy sideways swipe came at her head. Sol ducked under it and scurried to Dex’s back. He had committed so fully to the blow that she was rewarded with a full second of reprisal. She snapped her wrist fiercely and flung her whip towards her opponent. The golden cage swept around his right calf and tightened. Sol yanked at the weapon with all of her might in an attempt to pull him to the ground. Dex lost his balance for a moment, but he somehow found his equilibrium very quickly and stomped his foot hard into the earth to stop him from falling. As much as he was behind her in speed, he was ahead of her in strength; tugging at her weapon at that point was like trying to uproot a tree.
“Fool,” Dex scoffed. He reached for something at his side and flung his open hand towards her. Sol was forced to drop her whip’s handle and dodge as a flurry of hikou stars flew in her direction. She could feel that they were modified as explosives; each one hit the dirt with a loud pop that ejected shrapnel in a short radius, and several shards hit her torso or legs as she escaped. More flurries came at her; Dex was taking turns grabbing a fistful of stars with one hand while throwing another group of them with the other. His throws were quite accurate. It took tremendous effort on her part to make it even to the outer rims of the blast radius of each volley. She couldn’t keep that up for long, so she made a quick decision in between assaults. Sol flared the void energy within her warframe and flung her palm towards the ground. The air around her puffed outwards for a moment and then engulfed her, allowing her to vanish from Dex’s sight.
He grunted loudly in frustration and tightened the grip on his sword. His face darted back and forth; he knew he wouldn’t be able to see her until her distraction wore off, but he hoped that maybe he’d be fortunate enough to catch her before she caught him. He was incorrect. A blade caught the top of his right shoulder with fiery spark and scraped its way down his back. A crackling crater of void energy flashed from his fresh wound as Sol’s warframe puffed back into view behind him. Dex let out a hoarse yelp of pain before trying to quickly turn to meet his foe again. Sol’s right fist found his cheek as he turned, and it knocked him several steps backwards. In a flash, she was on him again, plummeting her left foot deep into his chest. The blow was perfectly timed; it sent him backwards and off balance enough to bring him to one knee. She darted towards him yet again, not entirely certain of her intentions but determined to put the fight to a swift end. A sudden, nearly unnoticeable, chill down her spine was her only indication that her fight had only just begun.
A burst of energy exploded through her warframe’s right shoulder and sailed off into the forest. Transference fired at her neurons with news of the wound and she screamed loudly in pain. Dex managed to glance upwards just in time to see her stumble forward and fall to her hands and knees. He was even more puzzled than she was. Somehow, underneath an agony so fierce that it made her shake uncontrollably, she felt that chill again. This time it was much stronger. Her head moved in the direction her subconscious told it to, and it was there that she saw it; the thing that she’d seen, but not seen, earlier that evening. It was a blur at first, but it was clearly stepping towards her. Its armor suddenly flashed with a beautiful twinkle of contained electricity from top to bottom, and what was once invisible came into full, dreadful view. The operative stepped from its fabricated shadows, lanka rifle still pointed at her warframe, and stopped. A screech was heard in the distance; the unmistakable screech of the Infested. It was as though they were announcing the hunter’s arrival.
From inside the Orbiter, Sam peered out at the scene before him. His arms were wrapped around himself and he was squeezing his own biceps so tight that his hands were turning red. “Abner…” he whispered as his throat quivered with fear.

IMO a better solution would to give players a brief opportunity to use their melee weapon, and cut or break the line and stop being dragged.
Now this is the best idea I've read here in a while. Co-signed!

SpoilerFar below the impending fury, a warframe sat comfortably on the soil, its legs crossed in meditation. Sol’s body rested in her transference chamber, but her mind lay within that machine. She absorbed the stillness of the peaceful night as if it were fueling her for what lay ahead. She yearned for the calm before the storm. The future seemed bleak, and she felt its encroachment deeply; the dread of what would be once word of her weapon reached the other Zarimon children. Peace like this would soon be in short supply.
The air hummed. Sol opened her warframe’s “eyes” and peered above. The silhouette of a liset streaked across the night’s sky and dropped its payload into a nearby thicket of trees. “He’s here,” she said. “Sam, my containment has been recoded, correct?”
A voice in her head replied. “Yes. And Saryn’s loadout has been pre-programmed. She’s ready.”
“Thank you.” She took a deep breath and stood up slowly. She felt the strength of the void within her; it gave her confidence. Her hand found a weapon at her side; a stubby, black handle with a golden apparatus above it. She glanced up and down the half-meter of crowned bludgeon and grinned. With a sharp snap of her wrist, she flung it outwards. The golden cage rapidly extended towards a tree branch nearly fifteen meters away and whipped it off of its mounting. Then the apparatus returned to its hilt which she still held. Sol lowered her hand. She was ready as well. A rustle of grass came to her ears. It was a kindness, she realized, as Dex could have easily approached with no sound whatsoever.
Sol turned to him, but she said nothing. He stood fierce within his warframe and glared back at her for several moments before letting his gaze move towards her Orbiter. She sensed a flare of his frame’s energy. “She’s in there,” he growled, turning back to her. “…isn’t she?” Sol didn’t respond; she merely stood firm and attempted to not appear threatening. Dex’s question was rhetorical. They both knew the situation inside her ship’s containment. “You were supposed to help me.” He sounded solemn, but she could detect his utter disappointment. “You were supposed to give her to me.”
“Dex,” she finally replied weakly. “I never made that promise to you.”
He glanced towards the ground pausing momentarily before taking several steps to his left. “You have betrayed me.” His warframe flared again, throwing a dim light into the air around it. “You have betrayed us all.” He took more footsteps around her, keeping his gaze downwards. More light escaped from his chassis; it was as though a fire was building within him. “You are no Tenno.”
“So be it,” she whispered. Her reply stopped him in his tracks.
“Her power can save us. It can cleanse the system of our enemies forever.” His eyes moved upwards to meet hers.
“She will rain destruction upon us. None will survive,” she said, readying her stance.
Dex turned towards her again. His warframe’s shimmer escalated into a bright incandescence, illuminating the entire forest around them. “You will give her to me,” he said coldly, reaching behind his head and sharply unsheathing a shiny, azure blade as long as his arm. “I will wield her!”
Sol gripped at the golden whip in her left hand. Her right forearm tightened, and a circular ring dropped into her palm, extending itself outwards and opening into four metal blades connected at their center. “Not while I live,” she replied.
The illumination suddenly culminated into a brilliant blast of pure energy. Sol gasped and temporarily shielded her face from the blast. In her next moment, she realized her mistake; she was already at the disadvantage. Dex’s blade swept down like a hungry falcon reaching to slice out her throat. Fortunately, she was able to meet its path in a nook between two of the blades on her glaive. The power of the blow forced her to kneel under his might. She looked up into his warframe’s face; he towered over her with intense scorn and full commitment. The friend she had once known was gone… perhaps forever.

It's still brainded, they could've given us better, especially with ALL the feedback post.
In the end we waited for months just to get a change from "press 4 to hit 18 enemies" to "hold 4 to hit as many as you can with your energy pool"
And if they really increase the damage output, i won't stop laughing, as if finisher damage & DoT wasn't enough.
Not sure what you mean by "brainded", but "better" is subjective. I feel very much that they gave us better. Now we'll have to hold a button and aim to hit stuff, aim more to hit more stuff, and aim at stuff again to hit stuff more times. They made it interactive, exactly as they always said they were going to do.

What I don't like is that it does nothing to address the more glaring issues with the move:
- It's a cutscene.
- It takes away Ash's ability to do anything else for the duration of the animation.
- "Full" invulnerability.
I don't think DE ever said that they intended to change these things. They just want to take away the ability to hit one button and trivialize content.
I personally like the cut scene; many people do. And if you think about it, it does allow you to control the animation length at least; you can control how many times you attack, so the duration is kind of up to you.

Press 4 and hold to mark enemies presented in the stream seems like awkward way to use such a power.
99% PC players use keyboard&mouse, even with joypad it is not the best solution.
I think you might have misunderstood them (or maybe I did?) I think they meant, you press 4 to activate bladestorm. Then you hold (what I assumed was) your fire button (i.e. left mouse button) and sweep your crosshairs across the enemies you want to kill (repeatedly if you want to mark them for more hits), then let go when ready. The way Reb was doing it was seamless and quick, and she held it and ran for awhile. Holding down the 4 button would be very clunky, I agree, so I hope I understood it right. Think I'm going to watch the stream again to be sure.
Tapping 4 to mark won't be better than sweeping across targets either though. You can miss the click and delay the whole effect.
EDIT: Ugh, yep, I misunderstood it. I'll wait to play it to give it a proper critique, but it sounds weird, yeah. Agreed.

I won't go too much into this as i don't feel like arguing at 5am for 3 hours straight, but i have to say in conjunction with the "you'll die again" you know there's a roll? right? and a thing called "waiting for enemies to move away." It's not hard to figure that one out, you're not just gonna smash 4 right after you die, you're gonna wait a few seconds for the enemies to spread out. Also my bad on the contagion thing, haven't played Saryn in a long &#! time so i forgot the names of her abilities.
Gotcha. So, it's like Inaros but with no shields or abilities and half health for ten seconds. What happens after ten seconds? His shields start to regenerate, his health doesn't, and he still has to ramp up because he has zero energy. Well, at least it's quick though, except for waiting for the enemies to wander off (hopefully he's never solo, eh?). Sure, that's fair. Gamers are usually pretty patient people...
The frame can be cool with some tweaks. But what you put up above there? No, it's not ready. (And as others have said, the elemental concept is kind of already taken.)

Power 1 - I didn't want people to be able to constantly switch between elements to just cycle out the best, most overpowered abilities from each subcategory, hence the lock on switching
Power 2 - I never specified the range, and I'm sure the lovely devs could figure it out if they actually took my suggestion seriously
Power 3 - Max rank implies max level, not max power duration, you can increase it with each element, also, whenever the 60 second lock is over, you do not lose the element, only you lose the lock, allowing you to switch at any time, may have misspoken, and i never stated that the ability wasn't recastable, Again, I didn't want players to have an easy "let me switch to the better element for X situation" at any moment, it encourages the player to actually think ahead of what might be the best thing to bring up
Power 4 - Kinda... no.... no..... and yeah kinda, i personally find Wukong's defy to be stupidly broken, and i disregard its existence half of the time, i propose this as an alternative, an actually semi balanced alternative to Wukong's extremely broken ability, not only is it an ult, which it should be because it's a free resurrect, but it also drains all your energy, similar to Soul Survivor, this would be way more balanced than whatever Wukong has to offer. I personally believe Wukong's defy needs to be reworked. As for the Volt part, not at all, Volt's 4 behaves nothing like it, Volt simply discharges electricity and does damage, this ability is basically an un-nullifiable EMP blast which fries all enemy abilities for a duration, i never even said it did damage, only that it stripped shields. As for the Saryn part, where in Saryn's kit does this exist? Spores is a no go, molt is a no go, toxic lash is a no go, and contagion is only an AoE toxin blast, so where are you getting that from? I can't disagree with the frost part though, it is rather similar, just without the damage.
1. You designed abilities that are overpowered?
2. There is no reasonable range that will work. Taking away 10% of an enemy's health will take 30 seconds. In my experience, that would never even be worth turning on, unless there were some way to stack it or compound upon the effect consistently.
3. You keep saying "I didn't want the players to have/do this..." You are designing this warframe. If a power is exploitable, give it a better design, not a cooldown.
4. It's Wukong plus a complete energy drain... plus you just resurrected (in a group that JUST killed you) with no shields, no abilities, and half health... You will immediately die again. It's less effective. Volt sends out electricity and stuns, with compounded damage due to enemy proximity... their shields don't matter and neither do their abilities... since they're stunned. Again, yours is less effective. The Saryn power I was referring to was Miasma (Contagion isn't a thing anymore), which stuns, clears the room with ticking dots, and does not leave her only to melee as your power does. Again, yours is less effective. (And Spores is actually similar as well... room wide viral dots and all) And on Frost, we agree.
We don't need to go back and forth on this. Since it's hypothetical and all, there's not much value in that. These are my thoughts on your concept.
-
Power 1: Interesting. This could work, though that 60 sec "lock"... you should probably rethink that.
Power 2: "...every 3 seconds", "every 5 seconds" Enemies do not stay in range for this long in this game. Their AI, plus your own movement, will constantly make this useless.
Power 3: Several problems here. Since you're locked into one element for 60 seconds, your party will be without ANY buff for around 30 seconds every time you cycle this (12 sec at max rank plus a maxed Primed Continuity), and any needed changes to the element will never be available when you need it.
Power 4: This is Wukong, Volt, Saryn, and Frost... but less effective. And as above, you're locked into only one for 60 seconds.
With all due respect, I don't think this would be a good warframe, and I'd never play it, not even to level for MR. You should tweak the concept a bit.

SpoilerDex peered out from his control room across Earth’s lush landscape. The view was more beautiful than he remembered, but he was hardly in the mood to enjoy it. Instead, he watched for Sol’s vessel; he knew that she’d landed her Orbiter rather than dropping in with a liset, so she’d be much easier to spot. He didn’t have to search for long before her ship came into view exactly where it had been when he scanned for it an hour earlier. She’d chosen a great spot; it was quite secluded and covered on all sides by thick leaves and tall green stalks. But the broken moon above was still so very bright, and from a high vantage point, she stuck out like shiny metal among darkened wood.
“Cephalon, take the helm. Increase altitude to ten thousand meters and prepare to deploy my liset,” he said aloud.
“Yes, Operator,” came the reply. Dex sat back and closed his eyes for a moment. He felt the ship circle around and tilt upwards. The movement had normally unnerved him slightly, but not on this day. He felt strong; focused. “Operator, I have uncovered something…”
He opened his eyes. “What is it?”
A small screen to Dex’s left lit up and scrolled through a message with Orokin lettering. “I believe it’s an inventory report… from the Orbiter below. When I scanned for the vessel’s identification and coordinates, as you instructed, this information was flagged as its Cephalon’s last transmission. It’s been archived in the Kronus relay’s internal network for nearly four days.”
Dex bolted forward and looked at the computer monitor. “What did she find? Were there any recent constructions of warframe parts?”
“Yes, Operator, there were. Four of them.” The screen flickered. “Chassis, Saryn Prime variant. Neuroptics, Saryn Prime variant. Systems, Saryn Prime variant.”
Dex gritted his teeth and scowled. “And… the fourth?”
Another flicker, more Orokin text scrolled. “Warframe and Catalyst, Saryn Prime.”
Dex slammed a fist on the console with a sharp grunt. The realization of his closest friend’s betrayal was a cold shock to him. How long had he searched? He’d forgotten; maybe months, maybe longer. “Cephalon,” he said coldly, “Did she complete the fourth construction?”
A new paragraph of text filled the screen. It didn’t look promising. “It… it is not certain, Operator. The information stops there, and there are no further transmissions from her Cephalon on record. It’s as if it was deactivated… or destroyed.”
His fingers gripped the edge of the console with seething frustration. His anger was palpable. It took several minutes for him to regain composure. “Prepare my loadout, and inform me when we’ve reached our altitude.”
“Yes, Operator.” Dex stood up and made his way to his warframe containment, stomping fiercely enough to echo his footsteps through every hallway he passed. With each step, his anger relented, and his focus grew. All of the years that he could remember serving the Lotus happily alongside Sol faded away one by one, and he could taste a form of hatred for her bellowing from his core. The containment door slid open before him. “Transference is ready, Operator. Warframe, variant: Excaliber Prime, at full capabilities. Loadout, codename: Pain, is ready.”
“Excellent,” he replied, a mischievous smile curdling across his lips. He slid into his seat and closed his eyes. The transference chamber embraced him, and he it, feeling intense power as his neurons fired through the electronic chasm of void energy and settled so very comfortably inside of his favorite war machine.
