"when everyone is super, no one will be." - Yoda, star trek, book 5.
This is my problem with Tenno specters; They devalue us, make us cheap and expendable. Ash is dead? good thing we cloned him six times, doesn't matter that he was an ancient warrior, everything that made him unique and special has been grown in a tube, six times! Hell in a couple days we should be able to overwhelm the entire solar system.
How to fix this?
Specters should be a projection of our will onto an automaton, a mixture of; Corpus Proxy technology, Grineer advanced prosthesis techniques, and the Tenno art of manipulating infected flesh (plastids and Nano spores) that when combined can mimic Tenno abilities when linked with a genuine Tenno. Spending time in the observatory? Activate your specter and passively channel your power to them while you meditate.
In this way;
They can be modeled after us or any way we want, they are no different than Corpus Proxies.
We don't have to deal with the moral implications of sending probably sentient copies of ourselves to fight and die for profit, like a crime against humanity level of evil reserved for the Grineer.
We don't loose the what it means to be a Tenno, the last of our kind, striving to bring balance to the solar system, not an army of cheap clones, there is not enough room for two armies of clones.
TL;DR?
Man batman and superman sure are powerful, why don't we just clone an army of them?
They can retire and we can dissolved the entire super hero league.
It really devalues the originals lives if everything that makes them special can be copied by anyone at anytime.

I'd like to see the Grineer lancers use shield lancers more effectively it's rare for one to go behind them for cover and when they do their head is always popped right in my line of fire :/
That's more of an issue with enemy A.I. something held back by the procedurally generated maps, or so I hear. Really Shield lancer should spawn in groups of three or four to form something like a phalanx, but again that's an A.I issue.
The immediately obvious problem is that Ranger teams and Bombardiers would murder everyone instantly.
Other than that, nice idea.
The opportunity is there for sure and that's the point, we are so powerful, enemies only recourse is to add more health or damage. Six Napalms are a challenge but for the wrong reason.

Suggestions and feedback needed. These suggestions only cover the Grineer and corpus factions. For a great Infested 2.0 read, check out this thread
New Spawn mechanics
Enemies spawn in a squad, a group of seven made of; 4 basic units, 2 special units, and 1 leader with a % chance of being an Eximus. Enemies under the influence of a leader will move as a group and stick to cover while using new special abilities they can only use while under their influence.
"Rouge" enemies encountered in small or large groups behave independently and while they cannot receive Leader buffs other than from an Eximus, they are not effected by their deaths.
New and Altered Units/ Grineer.
Grineer Captain(leader)- Heavy armored, Grineer captains Buff nearby Grineer, improving aim and fire rate while making them more aggressive and tactical, stacks with nearby regulators. Killing the captain breaks the squad morale and temporarily de-buffs them until they regain their composure, nearby Regulators decrease the time needed to stop panicking. Killing them is a high priority to lessen the tactical effectiveness of an enemy squad.
Ballista- (specialist) Slow rate of fire but does very high damage to shields. Her special ability, Wrath, fires a shot that overcharges shields slowing the rate at which they recharge. Wrath can only be used when under the influence of an allied Leader.
Seeker- Special ability, Marked, allows them to highlight enemies for fellow Grineer to take down. Marked Enemies take more damage and are targeted more aggressively. Marked can only be used under the influence of an Allied Leader
Grineer Ranger- (rouge) A two man team, Ranger use advanced tactics to take down prey. Hunters are armed with a Grinlock repeater rifle that can stagger with deadly consistency. Ravagers are armed with a Dragoon Flack Cannon, using a short lived cloak to get the jump on enemies. Rangers come armed with various traps from magnetic mines to poison gas bombs Rangers are not to be underestimated.
Heavy Gunner(specialist) - Special ability Suppress; The heavy Gunner lays down a line of fire decreasing the accuracy rating of weapons by % value. Suppress can only be used when under the influence of an allied captain.
Squad makeup/Grineer;
1 Leader- Grineer captain/ Random exumis
2 specialist- Heavy gunner/ Napalm/ Bombard/ Ballista/ Shield Lancer/scorch/seeker/eviscerator.
4 Riflemen- Lancer/ Trooper/ elite Lancer.
Grineer Rouges;
Large Groups- Butcher/ scorpion.
Small groups- Butcher/ scorpion/ Flam Blade/Power Fist/hellion/Rangers/Guardsmen.
Individuals- Butcher.
New and Altered Units/ Corpus
Corpus GM (leader)- heavy shields- same function as Grineer Captain.
Corpus Bombardier(specialist)- Armed with a Penta, Bombardiers have potent knockdown effects. Their special ability, Hail, allows them to fire barrage of grenades.
Corpus War Hawk (rouge) Taking a page from the Grineer, the warhawk is more machine than man, prosthetics made from Oxium make them light enough for a specialized osprey lifts them high into the air where they have a great vantage point to snipe with their Lanka. They have a chance to Proc for magnetic damage scrambling shields and Tenno energy pools. (replace marksmen)
Oxium Osprey (Rouge) Equipped with an Amprex, Oxium Osprey are lightweight and fast moving around the battle field in erratic movements to close the distance with their lightning weapons. (no more silly suicide mechanic)
Squad makeup/Corpus ;
1 leader- Corpus GM/ Random Eximus.
2 specialist- Bombardier/ Tech/ Shockwave Moa/ Fusion Moa/Rail gun Moa/Anti Moa/Shield Osprey.
4 riflemen- Crewman/ Elite Crewman/ Moa/Detron crewman.
Corpus Rouges;
Large groups- Prodmen.
Small groups-Mine Osprey/ Oxium Osprey/leech Osprey/ Scavenger drone/ Prodmen
Individuals- Prodmen/ Scavenger Osprey.

Proto-Grineer? Ok. No. Why proto-Grineer? Why not just human?
Also, why are people still stuck on this "Corpus and Grineer were around during the Orokin Era" idea? I think the fact that both hunt for Orokin artifacts should be enough to suggest that they weren't around when there was Orokin stuff everywhere.
proto-Grineer, as in, who or what ever was used in the Orokin cloning labs found on earth. It was stated, previously that the Grinner found the labs on earth and used it to become what they are, an army of clones. The Orokin Used it before the fall, to give them a massive expendable army using their slaves, humans
Time line-ish
Orokin engaged in war with sentients
Clone labs give them massive army
The Technocyte virus is used and grows out of control (Infest Ancients might be remnants or either Orokin or sentients)
Individuals exposed to void energy are molded into Tenno, the war is won
Tenno turn on the orokin, who have been described as cold and brutal.
Clone soldier witnesses slaughter and seeks a way to avenge his masters.
Tenno escape into cryo sleep, solar system falls into chaos.
Remnants of the "house slaves" of the Orokin, worship them, over the centuries this worship turns into a covetous obsession with becoming like them, the Corpus are born.
Aggressive raiders discover the Cloning technology on earth and become the Grineer
Lotus, Orokin cyborg begins re-awakening Tenno.
Much like the assassins creed series, I think the Orokin used humanity as a work force, even the humans mentioned in Embers codex entry could be little more than intermediaries for their Orokin masters, Uncle Toms if you will. They where most likely Mechanical, and used proxys like current Corpus, however machines, even advanced ones cant compare to thinking soldier so the work force was cloned and turned into a fighting force to gum up enemy movements, even if they lost their just cloned slaves and the enemy has been slowed down.
What I would like to see are the everyday Human, the people we are supposed to be protecting where do they live, how? the Corpus are human but it is hinted that people are recruited and indoctrinated into their ranks.
-
They were never on to look into it, have to wait till next week. :/
Well that really sucks, Its kinda irresponsible too. I get they wanted to add the new combos and such but can you imagine if it was a more game breaking bug, what then? Do they cancel their days off or just let it ride until Monday, both options suck.
-
No fix yet? can we get an official word that this is at least being looked into?
-
OT; Neat and it makes sense, double neat.
Off Topic;
I think the Stalker is a proto Grineer which made up the low guard, Countless meat shields to gum up enemy positions while sneaky Tenno killed important figures behind enemy lines. No reason an earlyn stable Grineer could not undergo a Tenno transformation. All that is needed, as far as we can tell, is exposure to the void and a technocyte virus suit, aka a Warframe.
-
If I remember correctly a Dev stream ago or so its was hinted that different arm, leg, and body options would be made eventually. Cant wait for that day, Need to pimp out my Ash.
-
I was worried I would have to make a topic, sucks that we are all having this problem but I'm glad it's being brought up. I would like to get back in the game with controls that feel right as soon as possible.
-
That would be nice, however IMHO Rail Conflicts are good for balance. They are open to anyone and offer much better rewards than any other mission node. Why bother fighting on regular mission nodes when you can just make a bee line for the best Nodes, it kind of defeats the point of the game a little.
I would classify Warframe as a dungeon crawler; Fight lots of mobs for xp and loot, so you can get better at killing mobs, for more loot and xp, so you can get better at killing mobs for more xp and loot, etc.
Dark Sectors are like new game plus, only you don't have to beat the game first, all the perks with none of the "work"
I'm not saying we should have to clear the star chart first, I haven't, but they should be off limits for a while they are OP and I don't want them to be Nerfed, so having the gates closed every other day or so is the best alternative. Here's hoping the infested get an update to make those sweet rewards a challenge to earn.

40 Mins in Survival on Triton, Neptune, 5k credits. I'm not even mad, figuratively.
35 mins in T-3 Survival for 5k credits, Our efforts have been punished.
The Problem: Credit Caches, in the void need to be replaced, especially Higher up in the waves of Survival.
The solution: A crafted item placed in your inventory allowing the Operative raiding the Tower to find valuables. This "Loot Satchel" will allow the Operative to find priceless Orokin Artifacts and technology.The Artifacts can be sold for quick cash, 5k-10k. Or you can research them in the foundry. This is a gamble, it could turn out to be a fossilized toothbrush and be worth significantly less.
On the off chance it Turns out it is something of value you gain a trinket, it could be Pendant, a ring, a diamond encrusted cod piece. These talismans, offer small and unique buffs with a rare chance for a unique "enchantment." These Artifacts would be placed in your inventory just like a vault key.
I.E.
"Storm Medallion"
+ 2 sprint speed
Thousand Cuts Blade Storm- Radial Slash damage with every strike.
40 min of regular survival and a 5K payout, that's RNG.
35 Min of Tower Survival and a 5k payout, You're out a rare key, you're Persistence has been punished.
TL;DR, Reward persistent players with something worth gambling our most valuable asset, our Non Refundable Time.

Got the helm last night. I'm sure there was some intentional misinformation in the beginning, but the Wiki people are pretty good about stamping that out. By now I'm sure most of the information is Legitimate.
-
I still think this is better.

But that helmet would be fine if DE removed the gold bar on his face.
And if they also added a horn.
That is a Rhino Prime Worthy Helm, now looking at beaver teeth prime fills me with both a feeling of disappointment and what could have been. thanks, ArchTenno.
Hopefully, the 3d Model will do it more justice than the picture. I think we all have that one yearbook picture that we wished did not exist, I'm hoping that is the situation.
-
We are kinda at the bottom of the Barrel in terms of Warframe Themes and powers. I think they should focus on Older Warframes, Aesthetics and Re working redundant powers (Slash Dash/Rhino Charge.) than Forcing new ones, I honestly think we have enough for now.
-
Thats the way it is, I got marked by the Harvester like two months ago and he has never come after me personally. However he was fond of my squadmates very often, now if only I actually wanted the Detron.
-
didnt think potatoes were such an issue...
They aren't but why waste them if the possibility exist that they can be recovered?
-
First of all , I don't believe we will have anytime soon "potato" extractor , except if it have crazy price to... also , you want to sell your potato'ed rhino , Why? just sell 2 or 3 mod buy slot ...
And before selling anything , even if they don't release today , and maybe next update , don't forget , you still didnt have farmed all Rhino part yet... except if you was planning to buys prime access?
Why buy a slot when I can just sell this thing I don't need anymore, the value lies in the reactor that's what I want, and to be honest I don't even know if Rhino Prime will be of any interest to me, but I do like being prepared and on some level Reactor extraction is a slim possibility hints my example about Prime part trading
-
you willing to wait about 3+ months to find out?
That why I'm asking the community what they think, I don't think we will, but a fresh perspective on something makes all the difference. But yeah I could wait no Hurry, Dark Souls 2 will be out by then so it probably wont even matter to me.
-
1. Never expect the ability to extract a potato
2. Rhino Prime will not be coming out today. Besides, gotta farm his parts first.
Yes however we never expected to be able trade prime parts and look where we are.
-
I have a Potato on my Rhino and as I'm sure you all know by now, The next Prime will be Rhino. So my question is, Should we Sell Potatoed Rhinos now or wait until after the update to see if we gain the ability to remove Reactors?
I'm aware that as of now we can not, but right up until the most recent Hot fix/Update, I was selling spare Mag prime parts because I couldn't do anything else with them.
So is it a realistic expectation, I dont think it is but two weeks ago a topic like this;
--Should I sell my extra Paris Prime BP?--
I have like ten and I already have one built, will we ever be able to use them for other things like trading?
"Anon - No you can just sell them, we will never be able to trade BP or even Prime Parts, end thread ///////////////////"
I would Like to be prepared for Rhino Prime, But I don't want to feel like I wasted a valued resource because I don't have the patience of Hannibal's Elephant trainer.
-
And how about the fun of farm Fusion Core for hours and hours to max one R10 mod? Now there is no effort for nothing.
If you want to farm for cores to level up one of the 5 mods that are beneficial to level up to max rank go right ahead, earn it. I on the other hand will keep my eyes open and hope to be lucky enough to get a Legendary core because I don't have that kind of time or patience, that is the foundation of this game; grind it, Gamble with your time, or pay for it.
As for effort, The word Legendary should give credence to their rarity, it would be unsound to not farm in the hopes of just getting a Legendary core
-
This change was put in a cryopod for now.
Having XP go directly to the weapon being used would allow weapons to be leveled faster. The problem is that when someone is leveling a weapon for the sole purpose of gaining Mastery, it isn't fun being stuck using a weaker weapon.
Thanks ofr the reply!
-
It was delayed until melee 2.0
The reason being that melee was acknowledge to be trash and until it got it's major buff it would be ridiculous to require people to use melee weapons to get XP on them.
Once Melee 2.0 comes in we will see that change, which i for one will be happy to see as it will allow me to focus all teammate XP into the one or two weapons I may need to level. I can't argue with a system that links using a weapon to leveling it.
Can I get a link or something like that, I got three undesirables in my inventory that need to be leveled for mastery and that Prime time ending next week has me in a panic to get them out of the way, I want to know if I can chill out or hit the XP farms.
-
Naw, it's also people upset about how many credits and core they sunk into their mods when maxing them pre-legendary cores.
Yeah that sucks, I cannot currently aciculate without making a bland blanket statement so forgive me when I say, stuff happens, it's the luck of the draw, you get what you get, and not everything is fair.

Read the description of a Specter; Cloned Replicants are the words used to describe them. Even then, Cloned Warframes?, it cant be that easy to make these power suits, I don't want o believe that the weapons used to turn the tide in a solar conflict can be copied by dudes who cant stop being captured.
