When i turn DOF/Motion Blur off, the white fog goes away, but the game doesn't look as cool (obviously).
This was on Venera.
Are there any fixes out there?

Sleep well, DE. This hump day was quite memorable.

When i join a squad, i am unable to send chat messages.

Actually, Corpus Crewmen heads are unprotected, i.e. have no armor. They simply have a 0x damage multiplier against the Bullet damage type. All other damage types will do full damage to their heads (2x actually due to headshot multiplier, and 4x if it's AP).
Thats what i read on the Wiki and became confused...but i get it now.

I am truly ashamed. Mastery level 8 and i had no idea. Explains why my Snipetron Vandal did headshots and the Lex didn't.
Thank you all for informing me of this.

Increasing the risk wont make anything better. If im doing a defense mission with my newly crafted Nyx and a stalker comes and one-shots me with slash-dash, I am sure as hell i wouldn't give up 2 revives for that. The affinity is counter productive also.
I do like the idea of a one-on-one stalker match in his "domain". I pictured the Hell battlefield from Mortal Kombat.

As you can see there are no damage numbers displayed when shooting a Corpus Crewman in the head, because he did not take any damage. Tested with several shots to the head while invisible, just snapped this picture quick to show y'all.

I understand. But I kind of like even that. When Lotus says something to the effect of, 'he's too smart for his own good -- kill him,' it's a sort of mini-koan. You realize at that moment that you really have no idea what's going on -- and then you go kill him anyway. I might be kind of a narrative snob (?), but I love the estrangement effect even as I realize that it's off-putting to many people.
You make a good point. I kinda went past the mindless killing nature of the Tenno to question WHY they do it, but i forgot about the mindless killing nature of teenagers with a keyboard and mouse. They just wanna play the game :p. So do i, but its fun to have an intelligent conversation with someone sometimes.
Edit: Teenagers AND Young adults, as some of you may be.

It just needs to be implemented better than it is right now.
Word up, sister.

Well, I have two responses to the OP.
First, this is war. The Tenno might be the good guys (so sayeth DE), but it doesn't mean that everything they do is unambiguously right. Sometimes all that conflict means is that your opponent has something and you have to take it away... and Tyl Regor is a soldier. He might be doing good work; it might be that that Grineer Trooper you just killed has a pet cat and writes his mom every day.
Personally, I like the fact that there's a bit of ambiguity here. The ideals of Bushido don't demand that the warrior questions every order -- they demand that the warrior comport himself with honor while obeying.
Second, the problem I have with Tyl Regor -- he owes me 10k credits and won't answer my texts. Dude's a jerk.
The second point made me laugh, have an upvote.
But the main point that i made was not the morality behind it, but the fact that its not explained to the audience. Think about Hek's description by the Lotus. "Pre-meditated murder" explains perfectly what Hek did and therefore convinces the audience.

It's like this:
The grineer are an expansionistic, highly militaristic empire who reproduces primarily by cloning.
Right now they're only held back by their genetic degradation. Tyl Regor fixing that genetic degradation gives the grineer a huge leg up, upsetting the balance of powers in the system.
Much like the formorians or the fusion moa army, the Tenno can't allow any one side to achieve dominance because then that side will annihilate the Tenno once they're done with the other two.
The act of fixing the grineer genes is not in of itself evil, but what a newly resurgent grineer empire will do now that it's no longer shackled by their own failing genes is.
Which is why this should be paraphrased and implemented into the game for clueless people like myself.
-
What does it mean that he uses a Skana?
Its not that im appauled that he's using a Tenno weapon. But i think a unique melee weapon would suit him better. I just dont know why DE chose the Skana of all the melee weapons
-
For the second point, most of the bosses in the game are placeholder until DE gets around to overhauling all of them ala Vor and Golem.
Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Deal with it
Happily. They should have replaced J3 with J2K tho.
-
Way to go, DE

Now i know updating another boss isn't on everyone's priority list, but hear me out.
**Scroll to the bottom of you want the short version of this post**
After spending a few hours farming for Ash, i found that two things began to bug me after a while.
#1: Next time you attempt to assasinate Regor, really listen to the introduction the Lotus gives him.
If you're too lazy (or wouldn't even bother wasting your time), then read it:
"Grineer researcher Tyl Regor has made significant strides in gene repair. This could reverse centuries of deterioration suffered by his people as a result of cloning."
After playing this mission a few times, this statement failed to convince me that Regor is evil. From a philosophical point of view, saving your people from gene deterioration would be somewhat of a miracle. As a student aspiring to become an engineer, the science behind such a project would be groundbreaking. I have a hard time believing that repairing the genes of an entire race could lead to bad things.
But of course, that is just the science.
If your repairing the genes of the a race that is EVIL, there could be an arguement as to whether or not Regor is evil himself. I'm currently studying Hamlet in my english class, and if some of you are familiar with the play, consider the character Claudius. In Shakespeare's time, in order to write a play about the murder of a king and not upset the current king/queen, you better make damn sure you convince the audience that the king in the play is EVIL.
I could not convince myself that Tyl Regor needed to die because of his "research".
Now, i know im not a writer and never will be. If i could make a suggestion as to what Regor SHOULD be doing with his gene-repairing research, I'd reccommend something like Wolverine's regeneration ability. He could be repairing the Grineer's tainted genes AND researching ways to actually make them immortal.
#2: Another one of the Lotus' quotes about Regor distressed me a little.
"Expect Regor to be armed with the best in Grineer weapons and defense capabilities."
This statement is false on a few different levels. Let me point them out:
a) He weilds a Skana. Tenno Weapon.
b) He uses Slash Dash and Smoke Screen abilities. Tenno Abilities.
Instead of Regor weilding a Skana, which is (according to the in-game description) the pillar of TENNO culture. I think it would be interesting to fight a boss weilding a weapon like the Furax, or maybe a variation of the Plasma Sword or Gram that deals fire damage. (Clan research weapon? ;D )
As for his abilities, I would reccommend keeping the shockwave ability because that is standard for most heavy Grineer. Now i may be thinking too far out of the box here, but i would be interested in an ability that slows all nearby Tenno, like the patches of ice in the Orokin Towers. You could relate it to Regor's research by making it the opposite gene repair, and call it some sort of fancy name for gene slowness/deterioration.
Being a melee-based enemy, slowing down nearby Tenno would be effective. The range would have to be limited to about 5 in-game meters. It could do mild ice damage, which would be amplified when applied to shileds, and lower when applied directly to health (if that wasnt already given).
Im not quite sure what kind of unique invisibility Regor could have. It could possibly be a feature of his armor. The animation could be similar to the reflection panels that cover that flying aircraft carrier in The Avengers.
Those are the two issues i have with Tyl Regor.
*I'm not convinced that Regor is evil, and he uses a Tenno weapon and 2 Tenno abilities*

Youda man, DE.

Noice :) been a fan of the past four 6mb updates.

Found this little guy standing still in the hallway, and apparently a medic from TF2 came by and overhealed him...
Just going to kill Vay Hek when suddenly Loki seems to have stabbed himself with an arrow...
In the wall run lava floor room in the Grineer ships, i got stuck in the wall jumping from the 2nd to 3rd wall...if i didnt have my ogris i wouldnt of been able to get out, i had to suicide. You can see my Wyrm all alone, and not in the wall with me.
This one was curious. Joining a Xini game, and before i actually had joined, it told me the host was migrating. Ok, no big deal. The loading screen shows up again and does its thing, but when my frame spawns in the map, this happens. When you just dont get it how...

After reading this till 5am, i think its safe to say that this is the greatest thing i have ever read.
And that the island is a scary place...
It says 2:50AM but it lies

ISSUE RESOLVED! It appears to be some corrupt files from 8.3.
Exit Warframe, reopen the launcher, click on the gear on the top right, then click Verify.
When I did that, it downloaded ~224 mb of files, and afterward, the game works fine.
I suspect that some texture files did not download properly or were corrupt when I first downloaded 8.3 the other day. Now that I think back on it, I *DID* have a brief power outage during the download of 8.3, and I resumed it later. I think the patcher could use some improved recognition of when a file is missing/incomplete/corrupted, during the initial patching process. But, at least the verifier can catch it! Cheers.
You sir, just saved me from an evening of boredom. Much appreciated, worked like a charm!

WAR-75968
Cant run any missions at all. Whether im in Online or Solo mode. Lowering the video settings didnt help either.
-
Tried it a few times this morning, the game won't let me run Tolstoj on Mercury. It crashed everytime i tried to run it. Anyone else having the same problem?
EDIT: Scratch that, it wont let me run ANY mission. In online and solo mode.
Lore Question, Relating To The War Event And The Tenno
in General
Posted · Edited by Ozzie387
In reply to the amount of enemies in the game...
There would be no game if there was a limit.
Also, read The Lotus' post about the Gravidus event. Our job is to restore peace and stability to the system. Killing ALL of the Corpus/Grineer in the system wouldn't necessarily accomplish our task.
We'd just be a bunch of Genocidal suit-clad space ninjas.
Edit: Grammars :p
