I wouldn't mind it. I don't doubt that there would be people of varying young age on the ship at the time.
they could still maybe have a slider within the constraints of what they want age-range wise.
Their voice lines are pretty cringe-y though. the Tenno have been though enough and lived long enough to be vastly more mature than they sound now.

Hydroid mostly for me IMO.
His appearance is lackluster for one, probably the ugliest of the frames unfortunately. It doesn't help that he is not PBR'ed yet. but id rather them change his appearance before they do.
His abilities are another disappointment, i expected a little more from him and most of 'em are clunky, buggy, and underwhelming.
to elaborate:
- Tempest Barrage still gets stuck in doorways still (which has been there since he launched) and wont target past them even if the door is open and often bugs the radius of the attack as well, the ability itself i have no problem with.
- Tidal Surge seems fine to me however i think it could have a custom de-buff as well as a temp buff for hydroid, wave gets wider the farther it goes out.
- IMO Undertow is awful, truly awful. It prevents your teammates from doing any damage to whatever is caught in it, as well as you cant shoot, be damaged, or move. i would have preferred a fog AOE type ability, which obstructs hostile vision and targeting as well as detection, reduces aggro of whomever is inside it, and heals allies with the augment (name could be Healing Mists). Hydroid can "pick it up" and move it like volts new shield.
- Tentacle Swarm is awful looking and can be disruptive to teammates trying to shoot them, with them flinging around and all (it takes forever...). I'd replace it with brief little whirlpools that form under the enemies and pulls them under like undertow and does this ( https://youtu.be/1flVlL4Mf8k?t=18s ) to them. enemies that survive have reduced armor, and are disoriented, and ejected.
There are other frames too but most of 'em are just tweaks, two others i think are just lackluster -
- Wukongs' abilities are underwhelming, unsure how to improve.
- Zephyrs' appearance is messy and her 1 and 2 need some added extra flare since its effectively competing against parkour/melee 2.0 and all that. (maybe the 1 pulls enemies with her or something).
That about it for me.
-
There Is an aspect as to why people (including me) think she is "fat" i think. or nevertheless fat-ER than the original.
and apart from the weird grooves (that make me think fat rolls or cellulite for some reason) and the rubber skirt i think its prominently the waist.
You can see in the central pic that the new banshees skin waist seems wider (as well as the lower portion of her torso) than the original. and maybe her legs to a lesser degree but that's up to personal interpretation considering the "plating" on the original obscuring it. but that's my take from what I've seen.
Another thing i've noticed that has been discussed before is the disparity between the first concept and the final. more specifically the arm.
The first concept had more of a ghost-like theme to it with the arm which (to me) seemed like a nod to the mythical banshee theme mixed in with the DJ theme that is also involved. however they have changed that for a more solely DJ oriented appearance. that to me is more of a personal taste thing but i am going to go out on a limb and say that i prefer the original.
All the other gripes i had are portrayed in the OP very well. it seems as though the modelers interpretation of the concept is a swing-and-a-miss type situation.
SpoilerHas anyone noticed there seems to be a significant turnout of modelers when it comes to these skins. Palatine, Feyarch, Orphid and Strega are very VERY close interpretations of the concepts (and even have drastically different material maps that make sense and accentuate well) and look incredible however banshees premium took a nosedive into looking almost nothing like concept taking an otherwise a would be amazing armor into something off-putting to relatively a lot people here. (Bless the individuals that took their time to do this armor, really i have no qualms, however they can do better. i know they can.)
So for now the premium skin pulls a 5/10 to an otherwise 10/10 concept. DE would get a load more purchases of this skin if they took the time to fix it.
Edit: Added a skin name i forgot to the spoiler.
-
AMAZING/10 i love every aspect of this frame at the moment.
i can only hope that she is added in the future (please god)
Its everything that i'm looking for currently in single frame.
(Btw your art is impressive)
-
i think this frame idea is quite nice, i like the toggleable options on the 4.
-
Me like.. me like very much.
-
Having this issue aswell, i have no idea how to fix this.
Im making a list of the things i've tried so far:
Verified Steam cache: claimed 64 files did not meet standards and proceeded to reload a good portion of the game. this did not work and im still having the issue.Deleting From Steam and loading the standalone client: (pending results)... this is going to take a little while for me.NVM that didnt work either..Ok im having further issues outside warframe: Cant login to DA, secure connection failed, a fiew random gif images on imagur... same thing.Im using AT&T U-Verse ill see if i can find an oppertunity soon to reset router incase that is the problem.Wasnt necessary logged into DA no prob on another computer on the same network. it seems to be a problem from my computerChanged default browser to IE instead of firefox and can log into DA fine, still had problems with WF, however...
i went into control panel > internet options > advanced tab and selected [Restore advanced settings] and unselected "check for server certificate revocation", saved, and cleared browsing history and cookies for good measure.
i can get into warframe fine now... so far at least.
PS: anybody have any idea what i did in this mess to fix this problem? Could it have been as simple as clearing the cookies or does it have something to do with the "server certificate"? Is this something i should have waited out?

As far as I know, DE actually NEVER confirmed that PBR update will be extended to previously released Primes..
dont quote me on this but i could've sworn they said in a devstream that they would add pbr to all older content (when they can) aswell as go forward using it (i think it was the one stream before archwing realeased).
Edit: Found it:
http://youtu.be/KRRWH6bE6h0?t=33m56s
"Over time we're going to be upgrading the whole game with this".
How well they will keep to their word about it leaves something to be desired however <.<
If somehow they don't want to add pbr to older... well everything (Edit: Anymore), there will be huge inconcistancies among the game and frustration from people as to why they can recolor the new primes gold and they cant recolor the older ones.
However if they didnt and somehow for whatever reason they dont use pbr IF they took the time to redesign frost prime in the first place, i think that alone would frustrate and confuse people.
Edit: Added link, fixed spelling, and any meaningful grammar that I so far have noticed.

Why does everybody keep forgetting about the physics based rendering (PBR)?
You can literally change the color of gold (on the new primes) now to anything you damn well please.
Leave it gold, change it to platnum, copper, any color of the rainbow?
Srsly give him some cool stuff like i've said before, cryo tanks with tubes heading to the (possibly redesigned) arms, more armor plates, "gold" accents, maybe a new helm, an actual tasteful color scheme. i mean seriously, give frost prime something to the level of the new primes (or beyond) in order to distinguish himself from being just a recolored un-primed frost.
You dont always have to deal with the gold now. (well, at least you will until they update the other primes with pbr aswell)
-
I would throw money at my screen for a frost remodel.
The new prime models and textures are leaps and bounds more lavish than frost primes old design.
Moving parts, floating parts, additional armor plates, energy effects, you name it, the new frames got it (or will get it). Frost Prime however is just a slight retexture of the base frame with a diffrent helm, most of witch can be overwritten by the immortal skin and an alt helm, theres barely anything else to distinguish the difference between the base one and prime one.
it seems as though the newer prime disigns have been less and less shy about significant alterations compared to the base frames as opposed to back then when frost was released. I would absolutely LOVE to see a rework for Frost Primes model (Cryo tanks w/tubes heading to the arms, maybe more vents, armor plates, new arm design maybe, anything!)
I'm also in the ballpark for having a 'Legacy Skin" of frost primes current model for those that enjoy his current appearance (although theres little difference compared to the base frame which i suppose some would like).
To me is kind of sad seeing these new primes come out with all these new cool designs and frost is left in the dust when compared to them. I almost considered as to what the point even is getting the prime since its pretty much the exact same as the normal one. :(
-
i like it
but id also like to see more unique weapon dmg types, so i would vote for it to be base dmg elec and fire
not radiation, but it's base dmg would be purely 50/50 electric AND fire, seperate, not combined
Im wondering how would that operate though modwise.
elemental combos usually use the element thats on the gun already to factor in the first elemental combo for it.
Whitch one would it use, electric or fire for the first element combination?
-
This frames' theme has jumped around alot but it ended up as something solid IMO, but if theres anything more that would seem like an improvement to this, feedback would be appreciated and welcomed. Please no hostility this is only a concept, thanks.

Logged in to vouch for this, im having the exact same problem.
Started not too long ago same as OP
Running a Nividia GeForce Gtx 570 with the driver version 344.11and i will try updating to version 347.09
However i had no issues prior to but a fiew days ago running the same driver, ever sence then its been happening a fiew moments after i log in to maybe after a couple missions
My pixellation issue is the same as in the OPs' images
effects like smoke also forces itself to the forground Ex: the background smoke in the codex
Aswell as being able to see muzzle flashes through walls
I hope any of this helps, your not the only one op

Im not sure why, but it seems the game had much more atmosphere and charm back then.
I joined almost two years ago during closed beta, and damn, I feel the nostalgia. That feeling when the game was still new, kind of empty and mysterious ;_;
On one hand, I enjoy playing Warframe greatly. The feeling of slice-n-dice, the joy of mass murder... I like it.
On the other hand, I miss this game, the one where you had Excalibur, Lancers took forever to die, and that old music! Goddamn they need to bring some of that old stuff back.
Back then the game had this less violent feeling, and it was sort of more about the beauty of space and quiet killing. The whole thing was just more quiet and empty, really mysterious.
I like this game but I miss that game. It'd be great if DE used their next F2P contract to make that slow, steady game, that sort of relaxing stealth.
I think this is what hits me the most as of late, and makes me miss the old warframe to almost unhealthy levels.
When i first joined up not long after TB did a video on warframe and i think update 8 came out. i heavily enjoyed the gameplay and the atmosphere.
the game just seemed to have that dark, moody, atmospheric feel to it, the lighting and the fact that there was no liset just a place of quietness overlooking the eerie system, and the PA System in the corpus tileset all just made it feel more immersive for me.
The way the enemies were fiewer but harder to kill i loved and still love to this day, it was much more fun and less overwhelming which leads me to my next points.
The moments i think that was the catalyst that sent this game into this absolute mess it is now was when Brian Noon passed away and the new tilesets from then on seem to lose the atmosphere and created something almost stale in comparison (no offense to the current art guy i do like the corpus ice planet very much), and also when they increased the enemies into this obnoxious horde and turned them all into fodder padded with heavy and special units (in turn led to this press-4-to-win mentality) to be absolutely ripped apart by a rhino prime wielding a brakk and/or boltor/soma prime covered in 50$ prime access acessories.
Dosent help that some aspects of this game seemed to have lost some effort or "care" for lack of a better word. Aspects seemed to have been forgotten such as the kubrows, old clantech retexture/remodels (they stop at torid?), clunky ui elements, parkour, stealth, etc. over what is currently ongoing and soon to potentially be forgotten/left-behind aswell.
This game could have gone a completely different direction and only now do i realize how far away it is at this point (and this makes me incredibly sad).
I personally dont mind TOOO much about this game currently i mean the demographic is slowly rising and i sill enjoy a fiew aspects of it and the biggest redeeming factor is they still do devsreams and still remain somewhat communicative with the playerbase (*glares at blizzard*).
BUT you know that feeling when an amazing original movie with a ton of potential gets remade/has a sequel turned into this F&^%ing Michael Bay S#&$fest with giant hordes being cleaved down and giant explosions killing everything with little to no story, if not cheesey (sound familiar?). That's what bothers me right now, most if not all of the original charm and atmosphere warframe had is hanging by a sinew right now and its depressing.
Mass effect is in the same exact boat with ME1 compared to ME3 if you catch my drift *sets aside a prayer for ME4*.
It also dosent help the fact that most people on the forums are now at each-others throats about a incredibly wide range of subjects and/or whatever has just released with people whom think they have superiorty over others and their opinions, and devs end up just responding to whomever screams the loudest (no public polls on the subjects either apart fom CHTs).
The issues can be potentially rectified but it would require a substantial change from what it is now. whitch ill be frank, will never happen (lost alot of faith in this game over the past year, everyone else however, may not have).
/sigh
I just wish i had at the very least a personal client for solo that was all the way back at update 8 to wade around in, at the most fix what (to me, problems) we currently have like stat squish, stronger but fiewer AI, relight tiles, add more ambience/atmosphere, rebalance guns/melee/abilities/enemies, add ui options (to allow something similar to the old ui), finish kubrows and parkour....something before DE adds anything more apart from the focus system. I want to be a ninja again.
I'm incredibly sorry if this is all over the place, i havent slept all night and its 4:45AM. Its just this post, the replies and the video just made me want to vent and get it off of my chest.
All the feels...
-
Honestly, I think it's great that you can get cosmetics with things other than platinum now. That, and the new Mara Detron lets players completely bypass any of the Zanuka stuff.
Oh definately, i have absolutely no problem with the concept itself at all.
Im even all aboard for the idea of a small chance of getting accsessories in the orokin void obstacle courses or in the extremely rare containers or any mix of the two.
its just this "prime" accessory piece sucks. im sorry to anyone who likes it but i dont.
Also just because its hypothetically "free" dosnt give the excuse to look like crap. Theres plenty of stuff thats "free" that looks worlds better in that context.
There is no other way of earning a prime accessory at all, this is the only one and it looks like hell.
The other one/s were prime acessories for 50 bucks crammed in with a needlessly high amount of boosters to bolster the price (that's not even available anymore mind you).
If this is what i get to look forward to for the other parts and potentailly a syandana. than all hope/hype is lost for me (if its not already hanging by a sinew).
-
Because it´s advertized as a ´´prime chest piece´´ and it´s not? No one said it´s bad, just under expectations.
My expectations for it was it was going to at least look like a unique prime piece and you can collect the rest of the set after sucessive arrivals. Aswell as a unique prime syandana only available to him, and the ability to purchace prime parts with the "primebucks" (obviously randomly generated supply per visit). You have to turn in prime parts to get the primebucks anyways.
Currently the void trader feels like a pawn shop with store credit and a fiew rare comics.
Im sure im not the only one.
Edit: I don't have any issue with the prime mods or the prices though, they seem like a nice core/credit sink for people and the detron is an ok sidegrade, i didnt expect the accessories be targis/misa level but man, this accessory... *cringe*.
-
Definately got buyers remorse on this thing. I guess i should have known better and checked the forums, shame on me.
I guess in order to get tolerable looking prime accessories you have to get the prime acessories package for 50 bucks or you get this.
Who would've guessed...
Pretty sure the prime syandanas going to be a strip of gold foil.
I am full of dissapointment right now.
Edit: at lest its somewhat free..

Both frost and Excal prime are bolth very lackluster compared to the "altered model OMG this amazing looking frame. Is this srsly the same frame i had before but primed?" kind of thing you get with Loki, Rhino (not as much), ember, nyx, and mag (not as much either (but dem floating parts)).
its really starting to show when you have pictures of bolth excal and frost next to loki, or nyx. Its unreal.
Altered helms and gold stickers compared to moving floating parts, aswell as streamlined ornate and unique texture patterns and models
srsly frost has plenty of texture "jaggies" all over him aswell as plenty of missed oppertunities for some crazy cool designs, same goes with excal.
there just old. As old as skill trees, stalker with braton vandal, the blue mission nodes and interface, red flameblade vor, and fusion moa event kind of old.
they need to be redesigned as much as any boss does IMO.
Besides dont even get me started on terrible prime weapon designs and gold shade inconsistencies *flips off and glares at paris prime*
Primes need to be looked at by the art team for inconsitancies like the diffrent "gold" color and complete redesigns for old primes that arent even in the same league as the current ones. they look un appreciated... paris prime included (Terrible design, clips with absolutely everything, nowhere near ornate looking as it should( its paris prime for god sakes make it look the part )). its more and more apparent when more primes come out. it saddening, at least to me.
PS: im not going to go on and turn this thread into another founders exclusivity argument/rant when its been made absolutely clear by DE that founders WILL NOT RETURN. Besides how can you be a "founder" when the game is already a year and a half old and has already taken off. I have no qualms with not being one, nor do i have any problems with the items they currently have or any future retextures/remodels given to them.
please refrain from frome turning this thread into a founders argument and getting it locked/buried because of lack of constuctive feedback/criticisms and or full of spam.

+1 I agree to all of this.
Currently kubrows arent even worth the time and money from me.
(literally just threw her in stasis until all this blows over AND GETS FIXED)
Otherwise my kubrow is never gonna se the light of day again unfortunately.
All this would literally fix ALL of my gripes and frustrations with this...mess.
(I might actually care about kubrows if all this happens!)
-
The energy doors are fine but the broken lights suck horribly.
I literaly had 5 or 6 of them spawn in an entry-way and even after the nerf it almost killed me lol.
And when they were first implemented, the strobing... o god the strobing... X.X
I thought maintenence on the grineer vessels was a thing i guess not.
-
I really had high hopes for it. I'm currently somewhat dissaponted with it.
Its a shame too i really like the weapon, but its just a rank-and-toss-into-the-armory-to-collect-dust kind of thing.
If i was to buff the thing i would change it to -
IMP: 15 PUN: 5 SLA: 10 (Because grineer fight corpus AND Infested)
ACCURACY: 15 or 20 (1st shot 100% accuracy (Just like the first itteration of the gorgon)) Slightly under Braton Prime
FIRE RATE: 13.3 (Same)
CRIT: 1.5x/15%
STATUS: 20% (It's a Wraith ffs)
MAG: 150
RELOAD: 3.0 (Same)
POLARITY: 1 or 2 V Polarities
OPTIONAL!: (i know this is a long shot but) Completely remove the spool up!
I think this would be a nice change but not painfully OP IMO.
-
Same, lost a decaying dragon key in the process.
[Frustration Intensifies].
I'll vouch for it being an invisible wall, the door stays open but ends up being one way.
it happened to me again afterwards however, this time i was able to break out after about 10~15 seconds of fighting it, and one of lotuses lines was triggered about the "orokin being awakened" or the "key is affecting the warframe".
However the first mission i cannot remember those lines being triggered and after figting it for about 2 minutes i had to leave mission.
im unsure if the spawning of the orokin is the issue, the conformation of the posession of the artifact, or the triggers for bolth.
Plz fix. ;(
-
Im liking this +1
It has the open endedness of "how far could i go solo? What kind of loot could i get? What kind loot's at room 100, potental primed chaimber maybe or prime sentinel parts?".
They could add some crazy rewards in these things in higher waves or rooms aswell as the potential challenge of some crazy minibosses.
This seems like something i would enjoy playing. (as long as each reward room is rewarding instead of a bunch of 1500 Cred Chips)
gives me thast sense of "how about one more" or "Should i risk it all on the next room".
-
Im thinking a 100% legitimate railgun would be nice.
because apparently the lanka isn't one, and it is being thrown around that it could be either a railun, coilgun, Gauss weapon or something of that nature. whatever.
I just want to see a railgun in the game and see what DE makes of it.
also i'm greatly suprised the pile bunker didn't make it in the competition, im really hoping to see that ingame st some point.
Possibly some spear weapons that can be thrown and respawned/summoned like an energy spear and still operates like a melee weapon.
(ex: bleach Uquiorras lance weapon (just not nearly as overpowered :P ))
Chainblades of some sort. for cleaving large swaths of infested, sort of a reach based weapon with the energy cable holding them to the frame being deadly aswell.
thats all i've got for now.
Why do you use Bows/Snipers?
in General Discussion
Posted · Edited by Gripheon
I enjoy the concept of using snipers to kill HVTs, but DE makes it so crippling to do so. I still use them mind you, but...
the only way to get any acceptable (not just DPS but operation as well) out of them is to abuse scope multipliers and argon scope because the default critical rate sucks, and slap on a shred mod because of the lack of punch-through
Then you have the random gamble of that remaining 10% Multi-shot that Barrel Diffusion doesn't have
nothing irritates me more than getting a head shot on a heavy with no critical due to the critical rate being piss poor.
snipers currently have an identity crisis (to me) right now.
How I'd fix at least the snipers would be to actually drop critical entirely in favor of raw damage and status like the Tigris but for long range. Gives the damage without the gambling.
I would not bother with the scope multipliers they are not necessary for this type of game especially with how small most of the tiles are (gives seeing the whites of their eyes a whole new meaning). I do like the combo multiplier though.
I also would allow a great deal of punch-through like the Lanka to deal with goons getting in the way of your target and include the ability to pierce Nullifier bubbles and ice bubbles to make up for the lack of fire rate that other weapons seem to so easily burn down Nully bubbles with.
hip-fire inaccuracy needs to be done away with.
and a stealth multiplier would be nice.
If you'd need AOE, Build electric and gas like Lanka.
However I still like using them out of concept alone. Just hoping for some appropriate changes.
Edit: Forgot to mention bows; them being completely based on crit is nice, the only gamble is for red crits and turning crowds into kebabs is very very enjoyable. The physical projectile is nice for skill-shots.
