I think it comes down to math TBH. Alot of people don't realize how much their favorite game is running on the subject they hated the most in school...there is a real ability for them to "fix" one thing by tweaking a single number or decimal and break another to an extreme. Over this game's life span so many weapons and mods have been implemented it is a virtual pandora's box to implement a change. I have a feeling from the changes they have made, after promising big and delivering much more conservative, that they are not entirely sure how to tackle the issue. I have a feeling alot of feelings will be hurt and things broken before they get it right.

If anything I wish they would add an in-game browser so you could bring up warframe.market w/o the alt-tab. If not I think warframe.market is a fine alternative to spamming and alot of players have switched over to using it. I know if I can't buy it from a clan mate (like to keep plat in the clan) I don't even bother with trade chat.

Polarize is no longer about wasting enemies. Polarize is now about restoring shields and creating shrapnel.
Mag is anything but "stuck in the suck" she is significantly more capable now than before. Your inability to adapt is what is stuck in the suck.
By inability to adapt I'm assuming you are talking about using the lanka or other weapon and modding it specifically for use while she casts magnatize. I put that in the same catalog as blessing trinity using a glaive and quick thinking to maximize blessing effects. You shouldn't need to make a gimmic build to make a warframe's power function...whats next? Modding a weapon for cold so you can make it cold in frost's globe? Eventually someone would find the best weapon and mod and probably make it stronger than it is now but I don't feel thats what warframe powers should be about.
TBH the current incarnation of mag feels like she's having an identity crisis with Nova. Her 2 is a skill you shoot to ramp up damage in and her 3 is a wave controlled by duration. We see the same thing with Nyx getting disarm as her passive....giving her a hard crossover with loki's irradiating disarm. Its like the Devs appreciate certain ideas or gameplay so much it bleeds on to other frames.
Don't get me wrong. I'll still play Mag. Even if I got to do it with a lanka...I play all my frames even ones most people assign to the "never use" catagory. I just wish she had that spot where people appreciated seeing one in the party. They used to in corpus sorties...but now (especially with her team-killing 2) she's almost treated like the second coming of limbo.

Good compromise changes so far...too bad there is no mention of mag...poor girl is stuck in the suck right now...

You might have gotten PUG'd with a group who rezzed just their buddy....seen that before. I got in a group of non-english speakers last night, all speaking their native language over voice and they were pretty unhelpful except to eachother to a point we almost failed because the more advanced two of them taxied a MR2 to a high-lvl alert.
Not being in your game, its hard to specualte. I've seen guys wanting to run around and do their own thing and ignore the rest of their squad telling them what needed to be done in a mission...go down and just collectively be ignored by the rest of the squad. Not saying thats what you were doing but I've seen that happen.
Also when going into nightmare alerts, I've found most other players have an expectation that you should already know what to do and bring a warframe that can handle whatever conditionals you get. When you start going down they get annoyed if you go down in the first couple minutes and just write you off. Best thing I can suggest to avoid that is once you get a planet cleared and get access to the nightmare missions, run them. I do nightmare alad v quite often when I want some quick neural sensors...I make it a point to take diffrent frames just to "git gud" at dealing with the conditions no matter which frame I'm on.

I recently built the Dual Toxocysts and have been having quite a bit of fun with them. They are highly unique with their headshot requirement and its fun to be rewarded for being accurate. Once in their excited state they are a little harder to mangage, bounce around a bit and its easier to just go for body shots rather than continue for headshots, especially to maximize the number of hits before the 6 seconds buff runs out.
I propose a ( possibly syndicate?) mod I am calling Brain Storm it would be an R3 mod that at would increase time of the excited state .25s/.5s/1s per headshot kill while the weapon is excited. At first I was tempted to go with just landing a headshot but feel that it would be too easy to just wing a barrage at a random enemy and manage to keep the weapon excited and rather OP. Playing around I managed to land headshot kills while the weapon was excited, it just took alot more effort than blazing away at the body for 6s.
This mod, in my opinion, would reward accurate firing but not make the Dual Toxocysts into entirely bottomless clip machine pistols of doom. I've taken them fairly deep and they tend to fall off in later game content where things like the marelock and lex p are still owing the secondary field....I really like these secondaries and their accuracy-reward mechanic and feel this mod could push them just a little closer to being a top ten secondary contender.

Alright, that's your opinion, like I said before Psychic Bolts and Absorb do benefit from it, but again it lowers the synergy between abilities because I can cast Absorb, but what if it were to disarm the enemy that I wanted to Mind Control? Nyx is my favorite frame and I have over 70% playtime on her. Chaos is the exact same as Irridiating Disarm, which doesn't make sense and only hurts her, why have two Warframes with the exact same ability? Although Nyx's is only a chance, it still happens enough to where it gets annoying. And even if we were to exclude MC from the passive's list of things to disarm, what if I wanted to MC an enemy that just got hit by Psychic Bolts? Or Chaos? Or Absorb? And I don't want to see enemies die at a fast rate, you're missing my point. Below are quotes from two Reddit threads I found with people complaining about the new passive. Chaos was great because it ALLOWED enemies to kill each other quickly, which was fun and enjoyable! And melee units don't hit harder in all cases, a Bombard who just got disarmed while in Chaos is a lot less useful than a Bombard who has his weapon with Chaos. I don't just press a button to watch enemies die at a fast rate, you're missing my point in the benefit that Chaos had over Irridiating Disarm in the sense that it ALLOWED enemies to kill each other or weaken each other. I rarely ever saw a Disarmed enemy kill another enemy, and if it did it's because the Tenno just weakened or tried to kill that enemy and another enemy killed it before the Tenno could. Besides, why should there be any cons with a passive!? Please explain why any ability should be nerfed by a passive? A passive which now almost makes MC useless in many situations? Why should a passive even require ability casting, it's not a passive then. You're trying to look at the benefits and maybe that's because you run low-duration, but I see no synergy between the abilities now, I see Chaos' firepower being weakened by that. Plus, like you said, if you want to press a button and see enemies get disarmed, I suggest Loki.
" Yeah same, I play Nyx because I want to sit back and laugh at enemies killing each other"
" Nyx: Ok Nyx has been getting the short stick a lot in warframe and this passive is just another nerf. When I confuse enemies my goal is to have them kill each other, not start slap fights because half of them dropped their weapons. This should have been like frosts passive, where enemies who melee nyx have a chance of becoming confused. This passive would be usefull, on theme, and help squishy nyx survive a little longer rather than annoying her players. (pls fix nyx DE)"
Im waiting for them to change Nyx's 2 to invisibility...then her transition to the loki master race will be complete....

leave it to DE to break the internet harder than Kim Kardashian's photo....
For real though I think the biggest part of this debacle could have been prevented with better play testing. There are plenty of streamers and youtubers showing how, even when building fully for a skill, it wasn't getting the job done. If a player can see that hours after the update, a play tester should have noticed that within the months and weeks prior to release.
The second thing is communication. Bits a pieces of the re-works were released and it was hyped like getting a new released game for christmas. Then christmas came and it was last years game for a console you don't own....If players knew what was coming ahead of time it could have been hashed out in the forums for a couple weeks rather than getting everyone cosplaying as sargus ruk in a fuel depot. I know alot of the players are angry and I imagine the devs who worked on this for the last several weeks are not the happiest in their lives either. This is one of the most vocal communities of any game I have ever played and if its a bad idea or something needs to be addressed before you release it, put out the ideas and I'm sure you'll get more feedback than you were looking for...

i guess i prefer my dogs looking like dogs rather than bison with no rear legs
I feel ya. I got a common coloured (light blue/tan) tall raska mutt....usually short and fat are looked down on for most RL animals (and people too for that matter)...never have understood why its considered a desireable trait in a kubrow but to each their own I guess...

I also really want to get his scythe,Hate. Are the chances of Stalker dropping a bp of his scythe purely dependent on RNG???
yes. You will probably get several dread bp's before you get hate as it seems to have a lower chance of dropping.

Nunchuku....
We have have 2, neither of which is particularly good stat-wise. To make it more fun, one requires the other to build (and IMO is not as good as the building component)....and the sole stance mod for them falls from royal guardsmen at an abysmally low rate...so much so that it sells for ~20p (on par with several corrupted mods). It basically is a new player weapon locked behind a veteran-priced stance mod...unless your blessed by RNGesus and get one to drop...but by the time you are regularly facing royal guardsmen on the starchart you have probably also MR unlocked some much superior weapons and are not trying to farm for it anymore.

i think they forgot to do nyx's rework. She needs her 2 changed to invisibility...that should complete her transition to loki's little sister....

infested are really buggy with vauban's bastille. I would actually recommend trying vortex instead or a combination of a bastille with a vortex near the excavator to catch the glitching infested before they can smash it. Personally I also like to bring a hek with scattered justice augment just for the syndicate proc's additional CC....its also nice for skeet shooting the energy carrying drones.

are you soloing? with a squad?
It took me 3 attempts last night to get a good PUG to complete it. I played as frost with a second frost, an ash and a nova. The other frost kept up the globe, I dropped pizza and spammed my ult to keep trash from getting close and the others killed the hyena and other random mobs. I contributed to heyena killing when the objective wasn't in danger. We pretty much rolled right through the whole thing pretty easy.

watch recruiting...there are usually people advertising stalker farms. Also realize that stalker is not that scary really...and if he kills you, besides being annoying, thats it...you loose your mark, he goes away and you keep going on your business.

I'd prefer it to be summoned animals for 20 seconds upon a certain condition...maybe %health lost, being struck by melee or something...if they were summoned atleast they could appear in any tile set instead of a couple. I think its a kinda meh passive and goes all to poo when you really think of any time and place it would be useful...but then again I don't think that when I'm picking my warframe I'll do it with passives in mind. Half my favorite frames don't currently have one and I don't think I'll be upset too bad if they have a "bad" one. Something is better than nothing...most of the time...and seeing an old grineer cat lady getting ate by her own cats might be amusing...

You know DE keeps labeling Valkyr as a beserk frame, then instead of energy have her health deplete when she uses hysteria, if they want to continue using the crutch of an excuse, and the longer she's in hysteria the more health it drains but the stronger her damage gets.
yes...make her health deplete in a skill with built in life strike...anyone for infinite hysteria?

I use nova prime a lot because her MP makes pretty much any mission a cakewalk.
Same here...she's squishy so don't let a bombard get you in his sights...but molecular prime coupled with anti-matter drop....room clearance 101....and she can even cheese spy mission lasers with wormhole...if I had to keep a single frame it would be Nova P... (on another plus note, I think she looks like Tali from Mass Effect...)

Example 1 (pushy/bossy/no-tact person):
- Me: "WTS Ash BP 125p"
- Potential Buyer: "115"; or "I'll give you 115"
- Me: I don't even respond to this because I don't like the tone of "90". I would reply however, if they said said "90?" because they're asking me as opposed to telling me.
totally agree..I usually negotiate as long as the price stays near market value and the person is respectful...thing that has happened 2-3 times to me in the last month (using your example) is:
- Me: "WTS Ash BP 125p"
- Potential Buyer: "OK Inv"
Get to the dojo, invite them get them in trade, put the item in the box and they drop 90p in their side
- Me: "Umm..thats 90, the price is 125p"
- Potential Buyer: "Its not worth 125p, I'll only give you 90p" or "90p is all I got..."
- Me: "You said OK to the invite, you knew the price"
- Potential Buyer: "So you won't sell it to me for 90?"
- Me: "Nope 125p is a fair price"
- Potential buyer "Screw You" or alternate nasty names, leaves the dojo and blocks me

Usually I run spys solo because some people come unglued if you set off a single alarm...and because some people don't know how to do spy missions and loose all the caches on you. Anyway I forgot to turn on solo when I was trying to get Ivara's helmet to drop and got joined by one of those try-hard always fail guys. He mostly killed enemies in the hallway while I did the caches until I was in B and he suddenly realized it was a spy mission, not an exterminate. He went to the otherside of the map and tripped the alarms on C...somehow I managed to get to the otherside of the map, cipher my way through and pulled the data at the last second...and when we got to extraction I had my helmet after probably running it w/o alarms somewhere between 10-15 times prior...so I'm pretty sure that the alarms going off don't matter as long as the data is intact.

keys are RNG-based....outside of an alert offering a particular type of key as a reward...there is no way to determine which key you are going to get doing excavations...

Warframe:
- is free to play
- is cooperative and has online multiplayer
- has a great community
- is sci-fi, which I like
- is inspirational
- is unique
- is one of the best games I've ever played.
Pretty much this. As a Mass Effect fan I was looking for something post-ME3, found Warframe and never looked back.

yep had this happen to me last night as frost. First when the platform raised it put me inside the floor. when I did the /unstuck....it unstuck me under the floor where I was 100% useless. fortunately I was grouped with real cool guys who let me sit under the floor and won the match w/o me. Sucked cause I didn't get the mod....I had to sit under the floor until the extract counter went down.

This bug seems to be most apparent when fighting infested and when you have the repelling augment on. Its a bug I hope they fix. Maybe with vauban prime access out and people dropping plat on him enough complaints will be heard for them to fix it. You can search for and find reports of this bug going back quite a ways.

I know people who have 10-20 full sets so I don't see the price dropping much for a very long time...
