  1. Greetings,

    Doing Relic Excavation mission on Despina (Neptune).  After Rotation C, my warframe's abilities (Mirage Prime) stopped working (yes, I had enough Energy).  It wasn't a hardware issue, as I was able to manually reload and pick up excavator power packs just fine.  In addition, the ability icons lit up when I pressed the corresponding key.  Later, I found that I could not revive fallen players either.  I have never encountered either before.

  2. Well, an idea would be to mirror Fishing in that different cutters have better yields or easier use vs. a particular type of deposit.  Also like Fishing and expanding on your zone idea, it would be nice if we had some way of controlling the RNG, both in intuitive locations and item use.  For example, dig sites and caves should have higher chance and higher tier deposits than elsewhere.  This makes sense in that such sites are also crawling with Grineer, a classic case of risk vs reward.

    In the case of item use, have BP gear item that temporarily upgrades the cutter's detector to give more details about the nearby deposit, not just distance.  Perhaps even improve the duration of the cutter pattern.  Or a BP survey tool that filters the cutter scanner to detect only a specific deposit type or yield quality.

    I also don't like how Mining is largely a solitary activity.  It would be nice if deposits could be tagged like Argon, Synth, Data Scans and the like, so that a team clearing a Grineer base can take turns mining a nearby deposit between Bounties.

    For the lulz, it might be fun to introduce a mineral whose deposit does Radiation damage to players mining it (Radiation Hazard zone) and has a half-life similar to Argon Crystal.

    Of course that would also mean that the Mining UI would need to work the same way as the Fishing UI, in order to handle the additional items needed.

  3. I named it after the Hindu demon god of storms.

    Concept: Sniper Crossbow
    Visual: Reverse Crossbow  (examples here:  http://www.bestcrossbowsource.com/best-reverse-crossbows-rankings-reviews-in-2016/ )
    Mechanic: Charge projectile like Lanka, but no magazine like bows.  Will accept bow and sniper mods.

    Still, It's like the Combo mechanic and the rifles themselves work at cross purposes.  I'd expect sniper rifles in a horde shooter like WF to work like DMRs, but their actual performance says otherwise.
