  1. Is that so wrong? It's compensation for people who had already spent credits and fusion cores to rank a mod. (People abused this but that's a completely different issue)

     

    Except that not only was it abused but the compensation was many many many times the actual cost that people incurred by losing the top 5 levels. This has been discussed at length. DE can't add.

  2. No, people have paid 100+ plat for this stance and if it get's nerfed, a firestorm will hit the Forums like no other. It's one thing to mess with leaderboards, but it's another to mess with people's plat. 

     

    Whilst I don't agree it should be nerfed but using platinum as an excuse in a beta where literally anything can change is a bad argument.

  3. Why start another thread on this? You're just inviting arguments. Just because you have an idea and a forum exists does not mean you should post it.

     

    Next time you wake up and think "I've got something to contribute to the forums about Excalibur Prime", please pinch yourself and do not post it.

     

    Irrespective of whether the idea is good, all we'll get is another argument.

  4. I've been told by the support desk that this is supposed to happen eventually. There is an answer out there besides "never".

     

    If you knew the answer (which I incidentally disagree with as the correct answer is indeed never), then why pose the question?

     

    And if you wanted a more precise answer than "eventually", why did you think the playerbase would know where support did not? (It's due to happen on 29th February 2015 btw, shh, secret)

  5. Rotation A = 5 and 10 minutes marks

     

    Rotation B = 15 minutes mark

     

    Rotation C = 20 minutes mark

     

    One full Rotation = 20 minutes

     

    25 = A, 30 = A, 35 = B, 40 = C, 45 = A... you get the idea.

     

    God forbid they should actually explain this in the all important post that contains it. DE, what gives with the terrible communication? Are you unable to separate your internal knowledge from what you've publicly released and so keep thinking we know things that we actually don't?

     

    If you're going to make posts like the drop table one, it should be a full reference list. I shouldn't have to go find a random update note to find a player post explaining the system. Please update the drops list with an explanation of rotations. Not every player trawls through your forum all day to play connect the dots.

  6. yeah right now excalibur is just "meh". i wish they would make him stand out more, turn out into something along the line of "wow", the suggestion i am about to make below kinda discount his 3rd skill since people usually use him for this single skill. instead i'll be talking about his other skills use without his 3rd skills since i wanted to make them all viable and fun to play so players can choose which skill they want to use instead of radial blind all the time.

     

    slash dash is that ability that everyone uses as a newbie, it look cool on level 1 grineer on mercury but beside that it is pointless and leave in a vulnerable spot if you slash dash into a group of heavies and they don't die. make it synergize with our weapon as OP already pointed all, also make it stun enemy for a small duration so excalibur have room to escape should the enemies fail to die cause excalibur have little survivalbility beyong his 3rd skill.

     

    super jump is pointless, great i can jump super high. but what is the tactical advantadge?, i can reach places where i am out of reach of the enemies but that doesn't synergize well with the rest of excalibur skill, unlike nova using her wormhole to hide herself away so no one can shoot at her while she MP and AMD everyone from that spot. i don't know what they can do with this, maybe a complete rework is in order.

     

    radial javelin, it is cool, it is nice, it does ok damage. the biggest problems with it as already mention in the OP, it is blockable by terrain meaning it is either great or completely useless. however, like all pure damage abilities, in the high level endless missions which is consider "lategame" by some, it doesn't kill anybody. i maybe wrong cause it has been a long time since i dusted off my starter excalibur but the point i am trying to make is there are no CC elements to it, it is just a bunch of javelin doing damage and when you don't kill anyone, excalibur is useless. if this is going to be more viable, the damage either need to scale or there should be some CC elements to it.

     

    Sorry but you can't evaluate a frame unless you consider all aspects of it. You've deliberately discounted blind and then said the frame has no CC on javelin. Well, that'd be because he has CC on blind instead? It's like you've reviewed a car, not reviewed the wheels because that's what everyone buys a car for and then complained it can't move.

  7. I have every obtainable item in the game, multiple forma on everything, all mods maxed out, i have literally nothing else to do in the game. Luckly enough, i love PvP in Warframe, that's why im still playing.

     

    Then why is it that you can't say that you've completed/won/beaten the game and move onto pastures new? I appreciate that you like the gameplay mechanics but why does the game need to contain sufficient content to keep you amused ad infinitum?

     

    Because I like this game and I would very much enjoy having content that I did not have to grind out, that I could play and feel as if by using my maxed gear I am not a dirty cheater. Content where I can jump into a public match and play a challenging mission with other people who have a similar gear state as me.

     

    Plus no bosses in this game is overly tough. Under direct fire, most melt in 30 seconds, the only thing that makes some last longer is the fact that they have invulnerability stages.

     

    What do you mean by content you did not have to grind out?

     

    The bosses are flawed and need work in nearly all cases to make them a reasonable challenge.

     

    I'd like to point out I'm not trying to start an argument here. What I'm trying to do is drill down to what people want to achieve with their endgame. Until we know what we're aiming at, it's difficult to design something.

  8. I was thinking of making second account to make events like Cicero. Getting cool event mods twice and selling em for million plats. Almost asked about this from support but then my laziness took over and

     

    Which bit of "alts accounts are fine provided you don't abuse it to get more x, y and z" was unclear?

  9. you know people can survive from a headshot, even if it was done via suicide to shoot themselves in the head. So even if you did do a finisher there is a chance they could have survived it. I like to think of it like the Space Marines from WH40k where they have more than one organ. Maybe Grineer are a lot harder to kill than they look. Maybe Infested have a strange anatomy that is random, maybe a robot has tough material, or the design isn't 100% perfect leaving some parts alittle off causing the finisher to just barely be off.

     

    Sorry, I know you're plugging the realism thing through all this but we're freaking space ninjas! Realism left the room in the initial briefing because EA called to say they were making The Sims 278673 or whatever version we're on now.

     

    In order to balance the risk vs reward (and by risk I include the amount it slows your mission down), being stealthy and performing stealth attacks should give an instant kill.

  10. I *was* the host. :/

     

    Are you sure? Just because you invited and it was your initial key does not mean you were hosting when the game launched. It may have been a glitch but it could also have been to do with hosting.

     

    Fortunately this has never happened to me but I can see how ridiculously annoying it is. There is huge potential for exploitation if people are allowed to continue when the host leaves so that can't be the fix. The flat out, easy way to solve this is to "force-exit" all players if the host exits. But, as the poster above rightly states, we're busy doing player ships...

  11. If the OP is concerned about his built up resources trivialising the ship building "quest" (which I can kinda understand) then I have two counter points to make.

     

    1. You could just not use your built up resources and refarm them on a newly forma'd frame/weapon (don't use the forma slot if you want to be ultra serious about this)

     

    2. I cannot see DE adding something as major as this without also adding a new resource so that players old and new have to grind like crazy to complete it (oxium and argon crystals anyone)?

  12. it sounds like another way to make the event/founders ahead of the rest of the players to me 

     

    You mean people who have played for longer or funded the game will be more powerful than you in a predominantly PvE environment? That's disgusting, we should all be outraged.

     

    /sarcasm

  13. IF YOU HAVE ANY NEGATIVE OR OFFENSIVE REPLIES DO NOT REPLY AT ALL!

     

    This is a forum. In order to have a discussion there have to be differing points of view. By asking people not to reply in the negative, you're killing the discussion. That isn't how this works you cannot tell people to only reply if they agree (which you effectively did).

     

    Excali prime is not coming back. It was sold as an exclusive so much remain so.

  14. It's not in Beta.  Beta's assume there will one day be a finished product.  When warframe is 'finished', then it will be shut-down.

     

    Calling it 'beta' is an excuse for sloppy coding mistakes, a lack of documentation, and rapid and unreasonable changes to support nebulous goals like 'balance' which are really in support of 'cash shop purchases'.

     

    Lots of finished products continue to be changed afterward.  You may have bought whole-hog into the myth, but those of us who remember the drop-table encryption and all the times something had to be datamined to prove DE had taken it out of the tables or reduced it to a negligible chance aren't so trusting, and that's a well-earned suspicion.

     

    Just because other developers/publishers are equally untrustworthy doesn't make DE better.

    I'm happy to see the Pandora's box of crying for nerfs is finally reaching the 'Loki master race' crowd that started all the cries for nerfs.  Yes, their tears of justice will be delicious on the day when DE finally gets around to nerfing Loki's invisibility and radial disarm the way they've been nerfing all of the other useful warframe powers in the game.

     

    And I'll be happily taking my own advice, and finding something new that's enjoyable.

     

    And I am not a trinity player.

     

    I think you missed the point about 10 miles back.

     

    I think the game is abusing it's beta title on the whole but things such as melee and stealth 2.0 are the sort of sweeping changes expected in a beta. The release of new guns, less so. However, it does remain a beta even if you don't like it. DE have massive improvements to make (I whole heartedly agree on the lack of documentation, anyone coming to this game cold has no chance whatsoever) but that is largely what a beta is for. There are plenty of places we can discuss the beta tag further but they are not this thread.

     

    I'm not even going to talk about the drop table business, that horse died a long long time ago.

     

    You have forgotten that this thread is dedicated to whining about changes without giving any thought to how to adapt to them. If the OP didn't like the changes or couldn't adapt, he could at least have offered a suggestion. This forum is getting too full of threads from people who can scream and shout about changes they don't like but when asked how they would have done it, they draw a blank.

     

    Btw to those talking about a megathread, how many actually want those sorts of merges? Multiple topics that ran concurrently get merged by timestamp into one thread that for at least the first dozen pages is completely unreadable garbage because 30 different conversations are intermingled.
