/shameless promotion
Basically half of the ideas you came up with but it might get noticed anyways -
Here are my suggestions for the potential waypoint system expansion. Feel free to comment on them and post your own ideas!
___________________________________________________________
#1: Waypoint type selection.
I suggest doing something similar to the gear wheel (default Q key). It could be bound to the default G key, and would pop up only after holding it down for 0.3 seconds. Tapping it would use the same waypoint it does now, which marks places, modules, enemies etc.
#2: Placing waypoints on self.
There are moments in the game that make you want to be noticed. An ability to mark yourself would really be useful, and could be achieved by right-clicking waypoints in the waypoint selection wheel.
Self-marking would only work with certain waypoints (e.g. "I need a medic") which should also be distinguishable from regular ones. Giving them a green tint or a thick outline in the selection wheel might be a good idea.
Self-placeable waypoints will be marked with an (S) in the 5th point of the post below.
#3: Revised module marking.
There is no harm done if we mark the wrong mod when there are two of them right next to each other. It shouldn't be required to target the mod with your crosshair to set the marker. It could be more user-friendly if we could mark modules with their specific waypoints just by clicking near them.
Another idea is to let players know what mod was marked. It could display the mod's name when the waypoint is targeted with the crosshair.
#4: Waypoint paths.
Ever played Dead Space? The waypoint paths displayed there are a brilliant idea and I suggest using something similar.
The path to the marker could be displayed as a thin line of light leading to it OR as an arrow pointing in the right direction.
#5: Different kinds of waypoints.
The "Go here" or "Regroup here" waypoint mentioned in the recent devstream would really be useful. Current waypoints create confusion, and ofter require players to say what they marked in the chat. Other suggestions:
- "I need health" (S) - This particular waypoint shouldn't be limited to self-marking. Often in the missions you meet new players that are not quite familiar with the gameplay yet, you may let the team know the marker player cannot take as much damage as others. This marker could also display the remaining health/shields of the marked person (both numbers and a lifebar) when targeted with the crosshair, since this information is useful for Trinity and Oberon players.- "Wait up" (S) - Not every player is a rusher. If somebody gets stopped by heavy enemy resistance or is simply lacking in speed, this would let other squad members know they went too far forward, or let Volt and Nova players know somebody is in need of a speed buff / shortcut.
- "Defend this position" - Sometimes it's hard to distinguish which terminal is meant to be defended in Mobile Defence missions. This little guy may help.
- "Stealth take-out" - Used to mark enemies that are meant to be taken out without players getting noticed. Could be useful in Rescue 2.0 missions to mark the Wardens.
- "Trap" - Used to mark traps in the Void (pressure plates, box traps, etc.), cameras, magnetic grid doors, arc traps and so on.

I will be adding more suggestions to this post and credit anybody who comes up with them. I'll do my best to keep the list updated. Do your best too, Tenno!

Probably just on oversight made when Melee 2.0 was implemented.
I thought the Dark Dagger was great for finishers, or rumours were before M2, that it did more damage than any dagger and it was great for stealth, but don't mark me on that :S
Does this have anything to do with the thread?

Send in a support ticket. We can't help you much on the forums.

I mean this song right here:
I feel like this great piece was part of the game itself. It fulfilled the atmosphere of your Tenno waiting, focused on overseeing the Origin System.
(Thanks for help on embeding videos! Still doesn't work.)

Ay, imma share my Desert Camo with ya c:
Hope you like it. Achieved using the Legacy Colors mode, with three colors from the Classic Saturated palette.
Edit: I'm using the Pyra Syandana, Dendra armor set with default Volt coils on his left arm (just because I pretend he needs it to cast shock), Immortal skin and Edo armor holographic chestplate.

YUS my desert camo is back! Thank you for listening to the community, DE!
-
It's not a big deal. Mastery points earned after the test it available to do are not wasted.

"Cute little faces?"

Two resets need to happen after kubrow has
maturedhatched. It will never take longer than 48 hours, but never less than 24 hours.Edit: Whoops, my can't even at this hour.

Short and simple explanation off what happens on your daily basis that you dont find logic/understand
I think he accidentaly logic

There was not a change, there was a fix. The old color system had some errors as a result of some coding errors. DE fixed them, and now colors are how they should have always been.
Doesn't change the fact that people bought palettes for colors offered in them. Now they lost those colors and got a different set.
It's okay to fix the colors. But it's not okay to take them away from people.

But did you see how much the fix helped the kubrows fur? not just color-wise but it now looks denser and no longer see-through. I would take over saturated frames which can be changed over translucent kubrow.
It doesn't matter. We don't want to revert the change, we just want our old palettes back.
Edit: Typo

I agree. Made a topic about the same thing a while ago (https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/274102-can-we-get-the-other-palettes-back-not-just-classic/).
I do hope we could get the other palettes back too. Otherwise it would be a waste of money. We now own palettes we (mostly) don't even like, I know some people can agree on that.
-
On a side note, I like the color scheme of your volt
Thanks, I came up with it during my phase of admiring the beauty of Phobos tileset and atmosphere. Not much to do when you reach end-game after all...
And thank You all for support! I hope our voice will be heard!

The Gamma palette only covers the old Classic one. Can we please get other palettes we purchased/got from events back as well? I really miss my Classic Saturated colors. With those I could achieve a desert camo:
Now, I'm left with this:
I understand that the colors needed a fix. How about running a certain script though? A script that would give all players the old versions of the palettes they owned before the update, not just the Classic one.
This is my callout to DE, and mostly to DE_Steve. Please don't make our money go to waste.

Are the visual effects on Terrify still visible? Raksa kubrow's Howl basically uses the same mechanic and it doesn't apply the visual effect (it used to).
-
Peer2peer connection system + Being in the same session required to trade = Really bad idea
It didn't have to be made that way at all.
-
Slingshoting = true endgame.
Why is half the video about showing off RhinoP though?
-
Do Kubrows even live that long? The Tenno were sleeping for quite some time after all.
+1 for Dark Sector reference

Prepare for PINK frames :P

Grineer have magnetic boots to help them move around their own ships. 100% confirmed info.
Dead Space style!
