  1. In my years of playing Warframe I came to know two things: 1. Mastery rank is really only for access to different echelons of weapons, and 2. FashionFrame is really the true endgame. As you spend much of your time in your orbiter in-between missions, you spend a lot of your time customizing how each of your frames look when you roll out. This is especially true when new deluxe skins, tennogen skins, and fashion accessories are released. The purpose of this post is to discuss the current state of how color options are organized. For example, on the original base skins of most all weapons and warframes, you can expect that the Primary color relates to the main color of the object, relating to the overall theme. The Secondary color typically compliments or contrasts and helps to further build upon the theme you're seeking to establish. The Tertiary layer typically colors the subtle designs on the object. Finally the Accent layer usually represents the metallic colors on the object. For simplicity and to keep focused on my discussion, I will leave out the Emissive and Energy colors.

    The setup above is typical for all customizable objects (Warframes, Primary & Secondary Weapons, Melee, etc.), however we enter uncharted territory when it comes to the addition of deluxe skins and tennogen. What I am about to propose may seem tedious, however is it not possible to re-establish what color layers correspond to the generally expected color layers? For example, for the majority of Ember's skins, her color layers follow the typical format. This is also true of her Tennogen skins. However, when it comes to her deluxe skin, we run into interesting changes. Her Tertiary and Accent layers seem like they switch, making it difficult to match materials between non-deluxe helmets and the deluxe skin parts. This is also true of Ash's Koga skin, Chroma's Dynasty skin, Frost's Harka skin, Loki's Knave skin, and Rhino's Palatine skin. I do recall [DE]Steve mentioning doing a pass on colors in a devstream, but I am not sure if this is what he was alluding to.

    This is in no way game breaking or a priority by any means, but after the long discussion about creating a "Prime Toggle" a couple years ago, I would hope looking into refreshing the organization of textures would be possible. All for consistency's sake.

    Thanks!

  2. I have just reached my 400 day marker and I've only begun to attempt to use my tenno specters more often. However, they are quite behind the times in terms of how expansive my arsenal has become. The majority of my loadouts reflect either warframes I do not own anymore or weapons that no longer have the same utility, therefore I am looking to change them. This is where I have run into problems: why is it that you can only change the loadout of your specters when you create them? True you can see what your current specter loadouts are by going to Equipment > Specters, but that's it. I understand that in the game's current state all I would need to do is farm more blueprints and simply craft them, but what if I don't have the time? What if I wanted to bring my own support specter tailored to compliment my personal loadout but I have neither the blueprints ready to craft or the time to go find some more? What if I changed my mind about the loadout I set when I started craft- Oh wait you can cancel builds now, but still. Would it be at all possible to grant access to setting the specter loadout from the specter menu? And I'm not saying full access to the arsenal like your normal loadout, but just the option to copy your current loadout to a specter type on the specter menu. In my opinion it just seems silly to not be able to otherwise. Thanks!

  3. I'm not sure what the figures are as far as the awareness of the operators so I'll say [SPOILERS] just in case.

    Now, with the introduction of the operator, I understand the realism of having this kid that originally spent most of their life in an induced sleep/coma appear to be emaciated upon first emerging. However, since our precious operators were forced to stop being potatoes after The War Within and even more so with The Plains of Eidolon, I believe it may be high time our operators grow to be as diverse from one another as the Warframes they command. Look, all of that running around hunting Kaiju-Sized Sentients and eating those protein rich Ostron meals will have to have some kind of effect on the body right? What I'm saying is, a little further Operator customization may be in order? Maybe some sliders that morph their bodies similar to the "face combining" feature? I know the "Children of the Void" aesthetic will be ruined if they look too mature, but have you seen today's young adults? At the very least, none of them are the same height.

    With the addition of areas where we can see other players operators, would it not be interesting to add one extra tidbit to further individualize player experience rather than continue to display an array of slightly modified clones? why not vary the height and development of these people that have been "awake" for nearly 2 years?

  4. What I am finding in my fights with the Teralyst is that you need to have a weapon that has both high Critical Chance and Critical Damage with a bit of Radiation Damage sprinkled in. A high status percentage doesn't seem to have a beneficial effect on the big guy. My Vectis Prime is great for the fight because it has a nice balance of crit chance/damage and status, though I built it for crit. I haven't used the Lenz out there yet but I'm hopeful that my build works. What I really wanna know is how Mesa's Peacemaker ability fares on it

    AMPS and ZAWS 

     

    So when this was first introduced I was of the understanding that we will be able to have different parts of a weapon that we can assemble as we see fit and reassemble as we like or dislike the outcome of that particular combination. The fact that each part is being consumed is so resource intense and quite frankly missing the point of a modular system I get why a lot of people are actually quitting on the whole PoE experience, me included in a way. 

    So please make AMPS and ZAWS a one time craft with option to reassemble each part. Maybe at a credit cost to disassemble so veterans with those millions have actually something to spend it on.

    To your point about the Zaws and Amps, I see the purpose in making it resource intensive, but I think they did it the wrong way as well. I believe the modulation of parts should be an option until you actually  guild the weapon. That way there is a permanence to it after you've tried the different pieces you've made. Not being able to field test your creation and then reassemble it maybe for a small credit fee or material cost seems like a wasted opportunity to experiment.

  6. For now I am going to assume it has to do with the monitors being split between the MoBo and GPU. I have ordered a couple DisplayPort/HDMI cables that will both plug into the GPU and possibly offer more consistency. I still do not believe it fully explains the graphical drop-off from increasing the resolution.

  7. Hello,

    I recently built a new desktop rig that ran Warframe at max settings with honestly no framerate loss whatsoever. Without any real tweaking the game ran so clearly that I did not bother wondering what my fps was. However, after replacing my single 1440x1080 LCD monitor with two 1920x1080 LED monitors, the frames of the game do not even reach 20fps standing still. I am not sure whether it is a hardware setting or a game setting because the fps drop is not consistent across all of my games. High quality/resource dependent games I have such as Overwatch, Black Desert Online, and Conan Exiles all run at max settings with no detriment under this increased resolution. Yet Warframe, which usually is the least of my worries graphically, has had the most problems.

    I am running with an Intel i7 processor, 16gb RAM, a GTX1070 gpu and an Asus Mobo that should be more than enough to handle Warframe. It was more than enough to handle the game until I increased my resoution.

    Does anyone have any tips for setting adjustments after increasing the resolution?

  8. Just a few questions!

    1. Will Animo Beacons continue to be a requirement to face Ambulas after the event? And if so, will he continue to show up in other missions in order to acquire them?

    2. A few months back, you announced Ember's deluxe skin with some concept art. So far we've seen Frost, Chroma, some sculpt work on Mag's and even a preview of Zephyr's. Has there been any progress with Ember's?

    3. Will we ever see a Vaccuum/Ultramagnet mod for Kubrows & Kavats? I miss using my pets and the utility of any sentinel pulling every resource within my vicinity to me is too convenient to not use.

    4. With so many players accustomed to the "nuking" capability of the Tonkor pre-nerf, will we ever see any weapons with a nearly comparable rate of destruction? Will there be more tweaks to these weapons in the future?

    You can still join a clan and participate to get the weapon's blueprint.

    You won't be able to get the fully crafted weapon though.

    Also I wouldn't recommend re-joining this clan, it's my opinion but I wouldn't rejoin a clan that kicked me randomly just because they wanted to make space. (again, it's my opinion)

    OH no I won't be staying. But for the sake of possibly having my points back I'll stay to finis the event. After the fact I will be promptly leaving.

  10. This may not be in the right section @[DE]Taylor, but I'm gonna pop this here anyway.

    So as a member of a Mountain/Moon clan (I'm not sure where we were when the event started) I began contributing to my clan score a couple days ago. I got 740-ish for my personal score (overall) and decided to take a break for a couple days. I come back today hoping to raise my personal best to the 550 average for large clans and after finishing my first attempt, I am suddenly clan-less. Now I am unsure whether this is a glitch or some sadistic officer in the clan decided to just suddenly give me the boot because there was no prior warning.

    EDIT: I have new info. Apparently one of the clan's Warlords had a pissyfit and decided to just run thru the roster and kick people. Apparently they even shut down the clan's discord. I may be able to get back into the clan, but the question still stands.

    My question is, as the clan rosters were "locked in" at the beginning of the event, will I still qualify for the Wraith weapon at the end of this event even tho I got kicked midway? I tried asking this to chat and only got more speculation.

    A little clarification for my case please?

  11. I'm not sure where to put this topic but I just wanted to take a sec and say thanks to all you hard working devs and coders for doing your best  to give the players what they want within your limits. In reference to the recent update with how tennogen skins interact with prime models, the general consensus of the players was that there should be a toggle button for customization and such, however we were told that would be difficult and if not impossible because of the present game structure and some other jargon that would be hard to explain. The point is, it was sold as a pipe dream and we were told the models would just be swapped for their originals when it came to tennogen skins in order to prevent any clipping on the primes. Imagine my surprise to log in to that update to find not only the skin change BUT ALSO A TOGGLE BUTTON!? And the ability to swap between the prime and normal skin? As an avid "fashion-framer" myself, I have to just applaud you guys and say thanks for continuing to make this game a wonderful place to go to. Your continued solicitation of what the players want and responding in kind with updates that often cater to the desires of the players is what really keeps me coming back to play. Oh and Space Ninjas. I mean who wouldn't want to be one right?

    Thanks again [DE]!

  12. As you may know, our pals at DE have made a point to release at least one alternate helmet with each Warframe when they premier. Though as far as I can tell, no hints or details are usually shared until the day of. What I'd like to know is what you think Bard's alternate helmet will possibly look like. Her main helmet is kind of like a cross between a bird and a drum major from a marching band. It's really unique! But the "Fashionframe" enthusiast in me kinda hopes the alternate helmet will be something that closer reflects my customizing style as well as my musical tastes.

    Thoughts?

  13. I love seeing a lot of people calling this a Nullifier buff when it's really just balancing since Nidus wasn't really effected by nullifiers before. I don't really see the problem, but far be it for me to just walk into the bubble and give them a tonkor shot to the face OR use my beautiful Hirudo to stab the mess out of them. I have to wonder if there are any psychologist or sociologist majors at DE that are studying players' responses to changes...

    The Nidus changes are interesting and honestly help me to figure out how to build him. I was leaning more towards a low duration build for soloing and a high duration build for supporting/tanking but now I am seeing that his tentacle thing is something you'll want to maximize duration on considering the new stack costs. Now to get high duration range AND power...

    Half the week is gone. Still no way to cure our frames. Honestly i can wait another week or 2 for the cure. I just hope it doesn't get bugged or has an issue

    It's only Tuesday? O_o; Even if you count Sunday, 3/7 is not 1/2... Patience is a virtue dood! The week will be over before you know it.

    Awesome idea! I can also make a ghost clan to play solo, why not? After all, this is a single player game, right?

    Or you could just wait for the drop table adjustment they mentioned in the Devstream. They've already firmly stated they're not gonna change the costs because that would undermine the people that actually accomplished the hike. However they're supposed to be looking into increasing the drop rates to compensate so it's not super steep but probably still a journey.

  15. I have been wondering, how does the matchmaking system work? Does it sort in order of who joins or some kind of lottery? It seems like it would make sense to have an algorithm in place that sorts people with the best connection in a match to host. I have a feeling there are limitations preventing this idea tho.

    I figured that. But that doesn't explain what they are or what they do.

    The system is incomplete right now but presently all you can do with them is [spoiler] infect a kubrow egg. I feel like in the future they'll have some kinda new system to either buff your frames or buff something else we haven't seen yet.

    The opinions are spread across the boards? HA! I've made a strawpoll asking what people would like better, 1) Change her model, 2) Change her lore and 3) Dont do anything. The first choice had the majority of the votes. Also, you might want to check their facebook page. A lot of people were angry at them. Including me, and I still am. 

    The devs are certainly aware of the issue, yes. But what will they do exactly? Their "fix" will be to change her lore to cover up the mistake they've made. 

    This comment is just radiating toxicity so I'll leave a suggestion rather than get infected. Join in the discussion of what it is you have a problem with and what changes you maybe want to see. That way the admins here will see the discussion and convey the message to the developers, especially if you make enough of the right kind of noise. "Yes" and "No" to polls like yours aren't enough to make significant changes here. ESPECIALLY if its just a design preference.

  18. I'm not sure if this has been mentioned already and sadly I do not have screenshots to verify the problem however, when I use my Nyx Prime's 4th ability with the Assimilate Augment equipped and then switch to my operator, the result when I switch back to Nyx is my abilities are locked as if I am still using her 4. But I cannot use the quick melee or any other skills. I can cycle through weapons but I cannot switch back to the operator again. It's a similar case to what happened with Valkyr's 4 not to long ago but it only seems to happen when I switch to the operator while in Absorb mode.

    So in short, I activated Nyx's 4 with the assimilate augment, then switched to the operator (just pressed 5, not the focus blast), then switched back to a glitched Nyx that still takes damage and everything, but cannot use any abilities or quick melee, but can cycle through weapons and go into melee mode.

    What are you going to do with Valkyr prime?

    Change her model. That's the only true way to make everyone happy. Because as of now, you missed a VERY big opportunity to make something absolutely amazing. 

    This is my message and I sure hope you people at DE know how disappointed we are. 

    Please don't speak for all of "us" when you make a claim. There's already numerous threads about the primes and their model issues already and the opinions are spread across the board. @[DE]Rebecca even hinted at @[DE]Steve in the devstream yesterday about the prime design issues though they didn't get around to talking about it openly with the twitch chat. The Devs are already aware of the issues.

  20. Hey peeps! Hope your holiday was great!

    I have a few questions:

    1. Bard status? Ever since Steve teased the step sequencer, I've been hyped to make tones of my own!

    2. Is there going to be a way to protect our Warframes and Kubrows from "The Cyst?" or even harvest them for other purposes? I've been using Kavats and Sentinels to save my puppies from becoming chargers...

    3. I was curious if there was an ETA on the return of the Mutalist Incursion Puncture Mods from Update 15.5? I didn't start Warframe until last year so I never had the chance to get them and they are fairly scarce.
