    Eclipse Feedback Megathread

    I think Eclispe has been needing a change for a very long time, even before Helminth entered the Conversation, but I'm glad we're having it now at least.

    Personally, I want the Change approach.

    • I - personally - never use it on Helminth cause (1) Roar is right there and far more reliable (2) I don't enjoy using "number go up" abilities like Roar and Eclispe cause they're just kinda... Boring? Like I've played for a hot minute now, I'm past that phase where I just want bigger numbers, I wanna do more... Interesting stuff?
    • Having access to controllable pair of buffs makes it a way more interesting ability to me cause I can think of quite a few Warframes that could do with just a bit more survivability to help them prosper at higher levels - Mirage included - especially since Overguard makes a lot of Crowd Control dependent Warframes a harder sell. I realise wanting more ready access to the damage resistance very much means I'm not in the majority.
    • I think being able to toggle between the light and dark bonuses fits Mirage quite well - Hall of Mirrors and Prism are both described as the manipulation of light, so if Mirage can bend Light at will couldn't she naturally darken and brighten the light on herself anyway?

    So here's my take

    Let Mirage toggle herself between Light and Dark modes.

    Could do it like, you cast it once and get the buff dependent on your surrounding light. Cast again during the duration to switch it.

    Or you could have it so that you Tap the key once to get Dark Mode, Hold to get Light Mode, its already Recastable so you can switch between without much trouble except the cost of Energy. Or vice versa but people can tweak that to their liking.

    And then when its Helminth'd in to other Warframes, they get the current version of the ability where it depends on lighting - cause other Warframes don't have Mirage's Light Manipulation abilities so they're completely reliant on the ambient light. It makes sense from a Lore perspective, it means there's less need for a grand overhaul, and shouldn't disrupt its current relationship with Helminth. 

    You could also do the thing where it just has a diminished strength or duration, and that would knock it down a few pegs on the Helminth tier list, but I think that'd be kinda boring and wouldn't go down well.

    However, I do wanna also throw out this very wildcard idea with the full knowledge that there's bound to be some very important and good reasons as to why this is NOT a good idea but I want to throw it out there anyway - change Mirage's Helminth ability from Eclispe to Sleight of Hand. Cause if we're already on idea that Roar serves the role as a catch all damage boost, and Eclispe is too unreliable to be able to reap the full flexible benefits of it, then why bother?

    And then you can change Eclispe to have a toggle so that she gets the control she deserves for it.

     

     

    eclipse is better than roar in some situations.  not even some. several.

    I might be in the minority but personally I would honestly prefer to see this ability replaced in its entirety. It is powerful but boring. The unreliability is the only thing that makes it interesting at the moment. Of course, if it was replaced, Mirage's other stats might have to be rebalanced to compensate.

    its greatest strength in what it can do for other frames allowing certain builds to really shine that otherwise couldnt

    Late, but here is an idea.

    If you have hall of mirrors active the mirrors should "absorb light" (blah blah using the photons to create the 'mirages'/illusions/holograms) and should trigger the defensive aspect of the ability when eclipse is cast. (or if you cast it within x seconds of triggering the ability)

    If you are within range of her second ability's jewels or have prism active (or cast eclipse within x seconds of using the abilities) it should trigger the damage aspect of the ability.

     

    For helminth'd version, when using eclipse within x seconds of casting the warframes 1st ability you get the damage resist, and within x seconds of using the warframes 2nd ability you get the damage buff.  Suggested at maybe 90% effectiveness but for 1/3rd the duration. Limiting the duration over the effectiveness is better imo. Considering its base cost to cast, na'mean?  

    - this is an interesting idea imo because the player could then bind elipse to the 1st or 2nd slot to automatically trigger the buff they want if theyre not interested in having BOTH options available. 

     

     

    ALTERNATIVELY

     

    you could simply have the ability start out as a weak damage buff and high defensive buff, and the stats reverse as the timer counts down until such that at the last second the damage buff is the highest and the defensive buff is the weakest. 

     

     

    i prefer the first suggestion though since it would allow CHOICE.

    Warframe Story Pack Feedback Thread!

    in General

    Posted · Edited by PookieNumnums

    I understand the motivation but I feel it is a bad idea. Here is why:

     

    There is a whole lot of explanation and character development as to who we are, why we are, and what we are. There is also a lot of character development with lotus, the Queen's, teshin, and ordis that are pretty integral to understanding the setting and experience as a whole. 

     

    The only way forward I see if you're going to let them skip all the important stuff (literally) is to produce a series or film that covers all of it. Something they'll have to watch if they wanna skip so that they understand. Animated comic would be a good option. Could probably cover it all in 30 minutes.  Aside from learning certain game systems and mechanics, there isn't a whole lot they need out of the quests.

     

    With the way the game is set up, quest missions tend to feel repetitive since for the most part the missions are regular missions with some dialogue added.  

     

    What would help, doing down this path or not, would be to streamline all the currencies in the game. Remove "standing" types like quill ostron syndicate Solaris u, Solaris V, tokens etc etc.. and convert it all down to focus. Then as you earn focus points you also earn focus tokens that you can then spend with any and all npc groups. Splitting time among all the different money types is a real strain and progression gate. Buff focus boons, let people spend focus. 

     

    Another good idea would be letting us spend mastery. The game tracks how much xp was earned with frames and weapons. Let us spend that xp as a currency for other things. Perhaps spend that with NPCs for ranks. 

    So, spend mastery (tracked excess  xp) for ranks in syndicates, and spend focus for npc goods. Buff focus boons and remove focus caps. Then those same players can advance through actual content at a much higher rate after they skip their quests since skipping quests doesn't auto complete the butt loads of content islands. 

    Grinding will have way more purpose and utility that way.

    AN OPEN LETTER FROM POOKIENUMNUMS aka COOKIEYUMYUMS aka DOOKIEDUMDUMS

     

    Wow Big Moves! Congratulations. 

     

    With the fan fare out of the way, lets get a bit serious. I dont know if you'll have a chance to see and read this. I sincerely hope you do, because im about to do the thing that people do when its time to do the thing. 

     

    I love warframe. I can say its my favorite game, and game universe, and perhaps work of fiction of any and all forms of media and entertainment, ever. Seriously. I absolutely love 'Warframe'.  Master Founder with about this many hours.

    I am not nearly as active over the last few years as I was for the first five, but thats Ok. I never strayed to far. It has always been a thrill to play updates, through the content and changes, new systems and mechanics, for better or worse. I have always made it a point to attend devstreams and share that info with my peers. I have spent plenty of IRL Money and countless hours decorating (not on the level of those dojos we saw today woweeee), and tuning my fashion. 

    But through all of that, I have had to chew through the gristle and fat and endure or ignore the many glaring issues with the game for years and years, as they AND the community are ignored and in a way disrespected, subject to leaderships apathy toward the cries of the community that really want for the game to become the biggest and best MMTPHNSLSAAG Out there (massively multiplayer hack n slash looter shooter action adventure game) EVER. 

    Im sure there are probably goals set and a path to follow, and certain things you can and cannot do... BUT PLEASE. Here my cries. Heed my words. 

    There are many small aspects of the game that can be fixed or improved upon. It doesnt have to be all at once. Any sort of effort toward any of them will greatly improve the standing that the game and team have with the community, be it the vocal minority, or the salty content creators who cant get a sponsorship no matter how hard they try, yet they keep creating content for the game they love filled with, at times abrasive, constructive criticisms. You (the team, the game, the company) have lost SO MANY great Tenno for this same exact issue, ignoring them and the underlying issues within the game. 

     

    I love Steve. His passion and determination to bring HIS ideas into reality in the way HE thinks they should be is very admirable. After all, its his and the other bois's brain childs. However, the consistent neglect of issues within the games core and then just moving on and slapping more content on top to bury it so deep that the community forgets about it, does not do the game or us any favors.

    Please, if it is at all within the purview of your new role, look to the community and reach out to us so that we can help point out where the game really suffers and what changes can be made to improve the QOL in game, the overall experience of the game, to improve and grow the community, and where we would like to see at least some of the development focused.

    Oh so if I understand correctly, you sold your Primed Fury? If yes, now that was a big mistake... I'm not using Primed Vigor, but I have Fury in almost all my melee builds 😓

    Both p fury and p vigor. And yeah, looking back it was a mistake. Not a huge one at the time because arcanes and berserker but now that status weapons are on par or even soon to be more useful that just straight up crit focused loadouts, yeah. Mistake.

    Artist whos work makes me wish they designed warframes.

    Well, it's a login reward mod, so you can't farm it actively / if you sell it, it's gone forever... But yeah, I see the absurdity, I have Primed Vigor and can't name a warframe I'm using it on.

    Yeah and when they mentioned choosing rewards i thought "finally ill get p fury back again mwahahahhahaaaaaa" but i got NOPED hard. HARD. and in going on 1500 days logged in it hasnt been an option to choose in any of the tribute rewards. 

    My bed to lay in yes and the worst part? I probably.. no definitely.. wasted 90% of the proceeds. 😭😂
