have it replace the air-slide attack maneuver. ez.

...because you don't have one? frankly the game is absurdly poorly tuned to the point i wouldn't even trust the existing staff to fix it, let alone a rando who probably forgets what bullet jumping and dodge rolling are.

So TL;DR is that you want to make armor function like Overshields do currently for no reason, as the armor strip percentage is visible ingame via the armor icon next to the health bar already. You also display a shocking lack of individual skill in believing that subsumes are required for survivability outside level cap runs. For most of my frames, I run 0 survivability mods or arcanes, subsume an armor strip ability (currently Terrify, but will might move to Tharros Strike once I build a throwaway Styanax) if even bothering to use one at all, and use frames like Banshee, Nova, Equinox, and Trinity, and have little to no issue even in Steel Path. Get better instead of groaning about how stale the game is. Hell, I don't even use AoE weapons, favoring my ol' trusty Vectis Prime, Synoid Gammacor, and Telos Boltace. Aint even bothered to farm up arcane adapters for my amp, primaries, or secondaries, yet still have no issues clearing content. Basically, git gud.

Frankly, the game has improved just as much as it has regressed. The reason I keep coming back to the game is the mobility, but the whole "slow down and be tactical" thing went out the door when the decision was made to go with horde shooter over team deathmatch reskin #999999. There's a reason that Dog Days, Rathuum, and The Index are generally interacted with begrudgingly. And this is from someone who actually likes The Index and has more than 5 Prodman posters. If you want tactical, methodical, and frankly molasses-paced movement, Naked Steel Path is right there, right alongside endurance runs. As for Failjack, me just calling it that says all I really have to. The less I have to interact with it the better, because NGL it feels like an even worse deliberate waste of time than leveling Necramechs six times just for mastery, then another six just to fully mod it. Gotta sell those forma bundles and affinity boosters, after all.

I'd rather see conclave get removed than have a trash-level anticheat added. It already effectively doesn't exist for 99% of the playerbase.

you say this, but i've gone more than 15 consecutive missions with thralls, totaling more than 40 thralls, without my lich/sister spawning. the fact that the spawn rate is that low means you shouldn't need that many spawns to unravel the damn combo.

So, while looping lich missions on the kuva fortress waiting for my currently-active lich that ran all that way to actually spawn, I had an idea for all the wasted requiem progress from thralls. Once you fill up all three, mercy kills could reveal the order in reverse at a reduced rate, so that once you *actually* encounter your lich/sister, you can actually pop the mf instead of screwing around with wrong order mercy attempts. Because frankly, the system doesn't need more complication, it needs streamlining, especially if more tenet/kuva weapons are planned.

it's legitimately useless to new players since it doesn't come from alerts anymore, instead on a weekly rotation from battlepass offerings. would you, as a new player, waste nightwatch creds on an aura that's one of the worst options to have, or would you use it on potatoes? thought so.

energy siphon is only useful in the absence of... arcanes, augments, operator abilties, and consumables. so basically for new players. the players least likely to have it or access to it. so it's useless in its entirety, since alerts with item rewards don't exist anymore and they require battlepass interaction now.

de posting aura use percentages challenge 2023 (impossible) energy siphon would still be underpowered at 2/s, nearly every frame that wants to be spamming abilities has at least one built-in or augmented ways to regen, and almost all the others can get by with just the 5/s from zenurik, even without energize. with energize, you're nearly always sitting at full energy and waiting for enemy spawns or moving to the next objective. basically, the aura slot might as well not exist once you have access to subsumes for gap coverage in your frame's kit, which is usually (efficient/aoe) armor stripping or self healing

conclave isn't real. you've been in a coma for five years they're going to pull the plug next week, you need to wake up

the benchmarking isn't needed, the specs of the system are readily available. i'd rather have someone on a potato pc hosting over a switch player any day, because frankly unless their pc was bought off the rack 8 years ago their specs are better than the glorified phone that is a switch. the issues rarely happen with even ps4/xbone, even though these people refuse to learn what a wired connection is. if someone's specs make the experience worse for everyone when they're hosting, causing not only input delay but rubber banding, force host migration. i don't disagree that the game needs to be optimized far better. even if it means they get less pretty graphics to allow better performance.

link to your own post where you're dismissive of the actual issue, and provide no solutions but an abundance of excuses? ight, i'll bite. you're still wrong in that thread, too.

the performance problems, especially when playing with switch hosts, resulting in dropped matches and non-functional abilities, means that they shouldn't be the damn host. if the option is worse matchmaking, so be it. i don't give a damn if the individual player has performance problems due to not being able to handle spawn rates, but when their trash-spec method of play worsens everyone else's experience it needs to stop. if there were an option to block certain frames (literally only limbo) i'd take that too. Had a limbo do nothing but maintain 100% rift plane uptime in an archon hunt, die, and leave. no clue how he died through my trin bless, but he managed it.

found your problem. ground contact is a skill issue. you're a space ninja, not an olympic sprinter or marathon runner, act like it.
