I run rapid resilience instead of steel fiber, works much better in my opinion on how I play with ash. I rarely lose my shields with him just to the nature of his abilities, but what gets you is procs, which rapid resilience takes care of.

You have to put in a color console.
just like you edit/place decoration, you go into the decorations menu in a room, and select polychorme instead of add or edit decoration. you'll then place a console (which CAN'T be moved until you finish the current colors in that room), and once console is placed, you then walk up to console to interact with the color options. and once you save the color options, you can then go back into the console and "preview" the colors in the room while you are walking around.

Nope. 50 for the initial cast + 10/sec. But again, Prism has the additional effect of blinding all enemies in range when ended. Now, if Ember had something similar ... Alas, all she has is that arbitrary cap on how many enemies are affected by her ability (which is left over from the previous version), even if one of the pillars erupts in a group of enemies. And it looks like that isn't going to leave because other players will complain about her being "too OP" while they liquefy entire rooms in a second with Miasma or what have you.
Dang, never paid attention to that then! lol. I hardly ever use it though, it's just the oh crap when I need a few seconds in case someone goes down. I build her around her other abilities.
-
Incorrect. Prism has a max duration of 12s. However, you don't notice the ability running out that much because you either cancel it prematurely yourself (for the blinding effect) or the ball is on the other side of the room, while World on Fire erupts around you and is more visible.
Prism has a fixed cost though, does it not?
I only played ember once since the "fix" before I put her up again, but her ult costs XX energy to cast, and costs XX energy per second to keep it on, right? Or am I not remembering it correctly? 50 to cast + 5 energy per second to maintain. So, you are at 55 energy for 1 second of use, where other frames with like abilities either cost just the casting cost, or very very reduced cost per second with little to cost to cast.
You look at mesa and nyx on the adverse though, which are high damage ults, and their cost per duration is much lower, and yields better results by far, and you don't HAVE to put every power strength mod on them for them to work, which allows you to actually make them efficient in using their ults.
-
I would agree OP. I was hoping the fix would actually help her, but it didn't, it hurt her. She's still stuck in my dust closet. She really needs augments that would change her element type, along with a fix for WOF, it's way too expensive. Maybe augments for adding in toxin/electric/or cold damage which would then give her powers either gas, radiation, or blast. It could really help her out. (Along with augment slot for said augment). It would actually give you a chance to make her powers at least viable to more than one faction.
It is sad though that augments can and probably will be the only way to use her.
Also, still being dependent on accelerate for any viable use sucks for her abilities.
If they did full reworks of Ember and Excal, they would be pretty much adding 2 new warframes to the game.
-
A good team player that is willing and able to play any role that is needed to help the team succeed in whatever mission they are doing. Knowing how to properly play each role, CC - support - offense - defense. Understanding the mechanics of the game (elemental and physical damage, and how to use each), along with knowing what mods actually do to a weapon or warframe.
Other than that, not being a troll or just flat out rude. I don't care how good you are, if you are a troll, there is a special place in hell for you. As one ps4 guy was nice enough to post up a video of karma being a ***** when he was trolling in a tower defense.
-
I have the most input on 3 & 4, but some thoughts on the rest:
1) I voted no. To me, for Excal to be a viable "sword frame", his stats need improved more than he needs a sword to be spawned as his ult. He is slow, and lacks in a single stat to build him around. His lack of survival without having a healer or personal energy vampire slave to let him spam his powers is pretty bad. As a true sword frame, his ult should be able to be cast on the move (ie, NOT having to draw a sword from where ever). ALL of of powers should be cast on the move. He should be able to survive based upon mobility alone. Elegant, quick, tough (health and armor, shield won't be staying up long enough if you are actually melee'ing with him), agile (all abilities cast on the move), versatile, STEALTH, BADASS <---- that is how I want to be able to describe Excal after the rework.
On another note, console players don't have the skana prime and have a lack of attachment to that sword, and the skana is just a faded nightmare to some of us as a mastery fodder weapon that was horrible to level up. Do we really have to relive that EVERY time we use his ult (shudder)? The only thing worse as a melee weapon was the dual skana and the fraggor (horrible!)
2)I don't mind weapons as a requirement, but I don't like weapons that take rare resources to build as part of the requirements. Especially when you have built them, and then gotten rid of them as mastery fodder. I would much rather see mastery fodder weapons actually become viable weapons for use, be it augments (and augment slots), or just stat reworks.
3)I use them as much as I can without having to break a build totally to use them. I would use them for every frame if there was a dedicated slot for them. This idea rolls into the new forma idea a bit, but like an aura slot, MAYBE the slot for augments could also add mod capacity to your warframe, or at least remove the drain from the augments all together and they come pre leveled up when you buy them from the syndicate? That would be pretty awesome. As it is now, if you just added an extra slot, and didn't add any warframe capacity, it would then turn every frame into a 3-4 forma build at minimum just to use an augment, which would prevent most people from wanting to use them. It definitely would me.
4)Yes, doing the forma process is a tedious and boring process, which would also help some of the "less viable" weapons in the game out as you could then actually try to find ways to use them with a full forma build and not put days into a weapon just to find out you don't like it in the end. Also, if we do the work to forma/level x4,5,6 or whatever number we put into them, can we have the ability to CHANGE the polarity on the fly? It can be frustrating to get a build worked out with your current gear, but a new mod comes out that totally breaks your build to try and use. You are then stuck. Do you totally reforma that frame or weapon X amount of times, just for the one mod that "should" make your build better? It also limits you from having several builds for the same weapon.
Since we have different load outs for weapons, being able to change the polarites in a system like I was saying between the loadouts would be a great addition as well. Load outs: A - graineer, B - corpus C - infested (or tower) and in each different load out, you can have a different polarity on each slot. It would really help keep weapons from being only good at one thing. Of course, this would need to be implemented without adding the need to add more forma. Also, augment mod slots as well.
5)Chat, yes, please. Need a reporting function built in for ps4. Kickbot/sasbot can only do so much with the alternative spelling. Region and recruiting chat are horrible places on ps4. Some days are decent at best, but most I damn sure wouldn't want my kids to be reading (yes I have kids). You can obviously tell a lot of them are kids ages 8-14 in there talking the filth they do talk, because they "brag" about their age for some reason.
A warlord chat for alliances would be a great addition as well. Also, being able to send messages to someone via the "inbox" when they are offline would be really beneficial. If a trade rework is actually done, I would like to see trade chat gone.

There's no way I can do it by myself or with public groups, unless I get lucky or I have high tier gear like on my PC account. I don't even have Ceres unlocked.(Of course, if unlocking it is necessary I'll do all I can on that matter, but iirc taxiing has no such requirement)
First of all, thanks alot! What does "tonight"mean? The current shown time on the forums is 11:31 AM but the time at my side of the world is 6:31 PM. Simply put, how many hours from the time I posted this will be the time you'll be on? I'll make sure to log in at that time.
I will definitely add you to my friends list.
Glad I was on early enough for you. It seems we have a 7 hour difference. I didn't get a chance to read this post until now! Nevertheless, we got you through it!

See thread: https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/418971-ps4-tactical-alert-phoenix-intercept/Read bolded part of text at the bottom, that will answer your question.
Tenno,We have received reports of a factory that is developing artificial genomes for Tyl Regor. These genomes can restore broken links in the Grineer DNA sequence, producing many stronger clones. You must stop this from happening! Assault the forces at Tyl Regor’s factory and intercept any intel that can tell us more about his experiments.Shut down the factory, Tenno!
Phoenix Intercept is on now until April 21st @ 12pm EDTTactical Alert Escalation IncomingThis mode will have a much greater level of difficulty than the regular version of Phoenix Intercept and will be on from April 18th until April 21st. Complete Phoenix Intercept Escalation to earn a Rift Sigil, which uses your Warframe's energy color and responds to how much energy you currently have in-Mission.Ready your weapons and good luck, Tenno! -
Does this mean the update will come this week
No. Going to cert does not mean we will get it this week. Probably mid to late next week at the earliest, but expect it to be the week after that (2 weeks from now), and if it comes early, be pleasantly surprised. :)

While testing the raids, we did everything we could to improve performance, but nothing was good enough (imagine trying to do a raid with single digit FPS). We realised that what we need to do is go back and work on performance from the ground up. I don't know how long it will take, but it means that when we're done, overall performance will be improved - not just for the Trial.
As for the DC chat, yes, I should be able to add new members after the update.
I know you said you don't know how long it will take, but is this looking like this is going to be accomplished before we get U16.5/U17 (as in pushing future updates back until this issue is resolved), or will we keep getting updates and this will just come when it's completed?

Trust me, my life gets very repetitive. With a wife and 2 daughters its always repetition. The difference is I can't just walk away from my life, the game I can.
Not directing this at you, but I love how the bulk majority of replies is "its your consoles fault". The few replies that are in regards to playing something else, thanks. Aside from walking away did anyone figure how to switch it up a little bit to keep interest and not just walk away?
Keeping warframe fun isn't just about what you are doing, it's about WHO you are doing it with. Playing and chatting with like minded people helps A LOT!
It sounds like you've been around a while, so maybe grab some newbs from region or recruiting chat, and help them out. It will get you back into the star map.
Voice chat parties help a lot. It makes things more fun when talking to the people you are playing with. That's one of the reasons I tend to do less public matches, because the quality of the "in game chat" is horrible.
I've been finding myself staying out of the void for the most part lately, and aside from syndicate missions, and doing alerts just to do them (need some way to level up the few weapons I have left to do, but I'm in no hurry), I've been building on the dojo (despite how painful that process is), then gathering color pigments, helping alliance members, doing rail attacks/defenses, etc. That takes my time for now, but I only have a few colors left, but U16 should be here by then.
I'm only missing 2 warframe augments, the 2 for excalabro, and i'll have all of them, that has been one of my things as well, to collect all the normally obtainable mods in the game.
Once U16 hits, I'm planning on doing the new syndicate stuff while still playing with the dojo and the other things.
If you are looking for some mature (age wise at least, lol) people to play and chat with, hit me up and I'll send you a psn invite to our chat.

If you are on tonight my clan mates and I can run you through it. I haven't been on yet this morning to see if we have anyone on right now. Shoot me a friend request on psn and if you don't have it done by tonight when the main group of my guys are on, we'll get you ran through it.
We wouldn't need anything in return, so you can keep your parts.

Lead by example. If you won't donate it, don't ask others to. Your description is pretty vague in what you are asking for.
Recruit wisely and don't be afraid to kick people, IF they actually deserve it. Keeping bad apples around will spoil the whole batch.

With as large as the community is, would it be impossibru to maybe get someone so capable to write an App for the forums?
That is one of the few things Destiny did right from the start! I love their app. Granted we don't need as much function that the Destiny app has, but having access to the forum, news articles, codex (including drop locations, and have it platform specific), and warframe alerts (platform specific too!) could all be integrated and would be really cool. Would be really nice to get it all from DE in one app instead of having to have several different apps.
I would probably even pay $0.99-$2.99 for an app like that.

I want to ask no i dont know or anything like that why are we having to wait a month after pc for the update???
I don't know if you are new to warframe or not, but every update happens this way.
They release for pc first, then while they are working on porting the update over for ps4, they release patches for the pc version to work on whatever the update break/stability. As they get issues resolved, they then integrate the patches/fixes over into the ps4 version. So when we get an update, we'll get the content and patches for U16-16.3 (just to give an example).
They can drop updates and patches at will for pc, as they don't have to go through a cert process, and it's free (relative) for them to do. Consoles on the other hand have to go through Microsoft and Sony for approval which can take weeks, depending on if it passes cert or needs refinement, and they also have to pay for each individual update to be able to hit our consoles. So, packing as much as they can helps them out financially, and it's honestly not that long of a wait. I would rather the bugs be worked out before they hit us anyway.

excat, thanks for showing me around the dojo. I seem to have misplaced my car keys. If you would check between the cushions in the dojo sofa, I'd appreciate it. Any platinum you may find is mine too.
You can get them back in a few weeks when you can let yourself in the front door ;)

Hello!
I am a mature (old) player from the UK. I've just discovered the game so am rather new to it all. This post was linked to me by one of your alliance members and having read thought it I thought I'd apply to join.
Thanks for reading,
Brunnie76
Hey, glad to see you made your way over here! He's got a pretty good group of guys over here. Hopefully on one of my late nights I'll catch you on in alliance chat and we can catch a few games!

I would support this! One of the worst parts of the game, she takes up so much space on your screen (it looks like she takes up more screen space on ps4 compared to pc), if it was an option, I'd instantly turn her off *giggle*. Seriously though, if she pops up when you are trying to hack, you may as well use a cypher, because you are going to fail before she gets off the screen and it takes up 1/4 of the hacking console....which makes a hack nearly impossible. Very horrible screen position for her, that's for sure.
OR they could just give us an option to chance the opacity so we can make her barely visible ???I'd much rather just have audio only option and small-ish subtitles only though.

I see "casual and mature", and that's me. I'm definitely older, I'm not sure about mature. When I say "older" I don't mean I'm in college. It means I have full grown kids and I've been playing video games since my dad brought home "Pong". I'm looking for a good fit. I don't take it too seriously. I have fun, like to banter, but I like to help with goals and appreciate help. I believe that a clan should interview me, but I'm interviewing you too. So there it is; I'm open for auditions.
You sound like the kind of guy we're looking for. Little about my clan. After Dark Action, currently sitting with a full roster of 10 members, BUT we're going to be expanding as soon as update 16 drops and we get the research going so we can offer the newest research as quickly as possible.
Our entire clan is MR8+, all with mics, and all mature age wise (18+) at least, we all have mics, have all research done, and we all like to have a good time. Some of us have kids young and old, wives (not more than 1 wife...1 woman to keep happy is more than enough), in college, all the above. We have a diverse group of guys I'm proud of. Always willing to help out, no matter what. I recruited the group I have for a reason, as our goal once we expand is to invite all MR into the clan, and we would then have the core group to help out any new players we may get.
As far as an interview, the only thing I care about is personality fit and that you're active. Every member that I've gotten I've invited into a chat, and bs'ed with to some degree for a while, and played with as well. I want the people in our clan to be like a family, and keep a vested interested in each other. So that means people have to get along. I can generally tell if you'll get along with the majority of us pretty quickly. Being realistic, sure we are all easy to get along with, but there are just some personalities that just aren't going to get along, and we understand that. Some of us can come off a bit harsh or abrasive if you don't know us, but most of us have been playing together long enough now we know each other pretty well and give each other a lot of hell for the fun of it. We are all on a first name basis with each other for the most part.
As far as game skill, I don't get too worried about that. If you play with us long enough, we'll drag you around to enough stuff to hone your skills the natural way....dying a lot! HA!
U16 should be out within a few weeks, and we'll be immediately going up in clan size. So, if you'd be interested in meeting up and playing/bs'ing and we think we'd be a good fit for each other, we'd definitely have a place for you once the update is here. If you don't want to wait it out, hey that's cool, I understand, but keep me in mind if you ever find yourself looking again.
Hit me up on psn - excat_56 if I don't hear from you, good luck and hope you find what you're looking for!

Thanks!
No problem. I hope I'm wrong and we get it even quicker. But 3 weeks is better than 4!

To add in for reference as well, this is also replied to directly by DE]Megan today in regards to the next update:

Update 16... they are trying to send it out to cert for consoles this week. So probably 2-3 weeks.
