There's really no point in posting "Please give us X prime" in concepts. It's not really a concept, and they're going to prime every Tenno weapon eventually.
I promise you, it's not like they haven't thought of it.
Really should highlight the "in concepts" part. Like the several "here's how I'd fix ____" or "____ 2.0" it would work better in feedback. Or maybe draw them and bury it in Fan Art.

I demand a prisma snowball gun
P... Prisma Glaxion? ».» That's just crazy enough to work!

Am I the only person that's wishing for Primed North Wind?

What I remember from the last time I was messing around in fan concepts was a desire for a new sort of melee frame with a sort of CQC focus. I don't know if Atlas filled that role or not, but three days ago I had a bit of desire to design one. I ran a few ideas past a friend. This is the result of that brainstorm.Estimated stats:Shields 80Health 120Power 115Armor 400Sprint 1.00
Potential Passives:Close quarters: Quick melee attacks bring out your melee weapon as if it's equipped until neither a combo nor the combo meter are up.Explosives expert: Touched enemy grenades and latchers are disarmed and turned into launcher ammo boxes.
Abilities:Charge - rushes ??m forward, stunning enemies in within ~2.5 meters of yourself for 1/2 a second. Will automatically melee strike if an enemy would impede your pathDig in - Grants invisibility, but after about 1 or 2 seconds you'll become immobile. If used while wall latching, you'll be able to keep that wall latch as long as energy persists. While Dig in is active, if you're not firing a weapon, you'll gradually recover health (Slow to start, but ramps up.)Body Shield - Lift the next enemy you kill in melee as a body shield, lasting for ~30 seconds, time diminishes as it takes damage adjusted by the target's level (expected lifetime about 10-20 seconds depending on the amount of enemies around.) Using this ability before the body shield expires will throw the body with an explosive attached.Carnwennan* - pulls out a combat knife to change quick attacks to a powerful dagger capable of a few different strikes depending on the main weapon.+Primary:Launcher/Sniper - holds the dagger in a reverse grip stance, using a buttstroke followed by a quick stabRifle - the dagger attaches itself to the rifle as a bayonette. A few different opening strikesBow** - Attaches to the forearms maybe? (Could use a better idea)+Secondary:Single firearm - dagger held in the hand supporting the pistol. Attack style focuses on staggers to open enemies up for close range pistol shots.Dual firearm** - Best guess is a pommel spike or attaching to the forearmMini launcher - Uses a stab to stagger, then a kick to knock away, followed by an opportunity to use the mini-launcher targeted to that enemy.Thrown - One combo with a few chances to throw half a clip (one handfull) of throwing knives or stars in a close range burst.Thrown mines - Somewhere between the thrown combo and the mini-launcher's knock away with mines attached.Any Melee: A few ideas, either uses a second knife for a flowing stance or rapid stabbing dual daggers stance, or a mixture of an unarmed martial art and knife fighting.Alternate 4th ability***- The next 10 or so enemies that approach the frame will automatically be struck throwing them back with an explosive similar to body shield.
Notes and considerations:* - Thinking about the idea of frame-specific weapons, I've been trying to think about what works and what doesn't work, how people use what. I think the right solution is in the energy per use of Ivara, which could easily go on to Excalibur and Mesa, but not as much Valkyr.** - admittedly weak concept, and probably needs a different idea or one better thought through idea. Anything else I considered would probably work better as its own frame concept.*** - I'm still not convinced that a frame designed to encourage melee should always have a special melee weapon.+I've taken into mind the playstyles of Chroma, Rhino, Valkyr, Excalibur, Saryn, and Atlus. Wukong didn't leave a lasting impression on me, and I haven't touched Nezha yet.+Named after a sort of mongoose. Just because mongooses.
Rough sketch:
The general idea was to eventually get the green parts to look like snakeskin, and the bronzey parts to look like beetle carapace, but I ran out of free time on this project, and the more I worked on it, the more this began to look like a mishmash of several different things not on the inspiration list...
-
Syandana placement with Knave skin isn't right. See image:
-
Oh the ______ focus ability has no cooldown, I've noticed the bug a lot, some details that others might have not noticed:
1) Mostly (or only) happens to players who are not the host.
2) only the basic ability is functional. Other abilities/passives seem deactivated.
-
It just goes rainbow on me. As interesting as it is that Energy Siphon is as Cashmoney...
-
As the title says, Toxic Lash isn't working with thrown glaives (or cerata in particular, which I'd tested it with.) I think this to be a bug because it still (seems to) work with redeemer shotgun.
-
So, I'm building a syandana, I'm not sure how well it'll work with physics... I'd like it if there was a way to see how it worked in game (like a dev build or trial render thing) before submitting it...

Sentinel Lore, with Celtchar weapon. Hoping for your return, Suibijeni

As so far as I understand it, given a few fan theories and all:
The Seer is Grineer reverse engineering Orokin tech.
Prime is reclaimed Orokin tech.
Wraith is possibly a collaborative effort between Red Veil and Steel Merridian, as the Latron Wraith and Strun Wraith are Tenno technology with the wraith treatment.
Vandal is possibly a collaborative effort between Perrin Sequence and New Loka, as Lato Vandal, Braton Vandal, and Imperator Vandal are Tenno technology with a Lotus insignia...
Mutalist is Infested Alad V's thing, it's his doing that got us the Mutalist Quanta, but also made Mutalist Moas and Osprey. Who knows, maybe he forgot to tell us about some advanced Mutalist Proxy (Like a jackal or something, unless that's what the Juggernauts are.)
As for Orokin/Tower versions of
As for further expanded tech, I could see Nightwatch being a grineer version upgrade thing... there's probably something similar in the Corpus ranks we haven't seen, since the Comba/Scrambus seem more closely in line with the Manics.

So awhile ago when talking about the Mios and Typhus, DE said they had four frames that they were working on. Since Wukong is being made by the Chinese team, we know the theme of two of them: Atlus, and an unnamed archer warframe. There's a chance this's being worked on, but they don't have it ready to showcase.

I don't have much thought into this, beyond this sentinel's gimmick is that it's weapon, a holographic generated spear Celtchar, (thank you wikipedia for the name) is dropped in front of you every 4-8ish seconds (depending on attack speed.) You can pick it up and nail an enemy to the wall with it, either like a charge lance, or like a throwing spear. If you don't pick it up, and an enemy and Lore is within range of Celtchar, it's second precept detonates the spear. (Only one Celtchar will show up)
-
I think "Wall attack" is still listed in melee stats, come to think of it... (despite that not being a thing anymore)
-
I've been saying this since about a week or two after parkour 2.0 made my favorite frame feel like a Mesa that can only use shatter shield with loki's run speed. As nice as it is to have a Turbo Zapper bird frame that's part roadrunner part red balloon, that has good synergy with the new sonicor... yeah.
I recommend Archwizard's megathread for a starter on ideas:
-
Looks like Igaro might have been based on Phyto. Grats!
-
I just went in with the helios not thinking about the scans, just checked this topic then back to my codex. Confirmed.
-
I noticed something amazing with my stug when running a Nightwatch. The trigger's fully auto, which I first thought as amazing and wonderful change to the gun, then something felt odd, and I noticed that it wasn't running out of ammo... like to the point where I didn't have to reload ever... it's just not consuming it
-
Helios won't stop scanning objects, even after they're complete in the codes.
-
I just had this when I tried to run Triton. One power carrier spawned in a window of about 5 minutes.
-
I like this idea but for somereason i feel a gunblade woulf fit more but it would fire a simulor vortex, not the single sphere the full vortex that doesnt stack.
If they dropped a cephalon Gunblade ... "Visculor" (maybe) I'd want a new stance with it. Maybe the shooting of it could send out holographic bolas?
-
It would be nice to be able to move while using Peacemaker.
And the reticle action is going to be nice, some control in being able to shoot that butcher creeping up on you that you see and hope RNG decides it's his time to get shot before he drops his crits on you... I just hope the motion blur doesn't make me sick...
-
No. A stance might change your quick melee strikes, but it's not a full combo.
-
Lanka has punch through, I think. What's happening is you're hitting multiple enemies (I think) and proccing a lot of aoes that strike around each other, so like, you hit two, and a procs gas and b procs electric, A's going to take the bullet damage, the gas dot damage, and the electric aoe damage.
This was once my Derelict Vauban's weapon and spec of choice. I moved on to a Gas/electric Tysis with puchthrough, as it seems to work a lot better for that purpose due to the rate of fire.
Power Company damage combo (Gas and electric) is great for turning status weapons into high AoE damage with diminishing returns as the horde is whittled down.
Duel Wield: Sword And Pistol
in Fan Concepts
Posted · Edited by Arkinvas
I've really wanted something like this for awhile. A >LONG< time back (Before Excalibur got his beamsword) I had an idea for stances for some weapons that would combine something like sword and pistol. (that isn't worth looking up.)
Given that DE is re-evaluating some of the underused weapons, this is a good time to bring back the idea.
What's odd is that, Dagger and scythe are in a pretty good spot, in comparison to some other melee weapon classes, such as Machette, dual daggers, and whips (at least whips as far as stance goes, the base weapons are kinda alright.)
This's what I want to see out of a melee system upgrade:
+Starting melee equips melee: when I'm in the middle of a fight and starting to melee, I get a few swipes in to get some stagger in, then switch to melee for the stance, which involves putting away my melee weapon, bringing out a ranged weapon, holstering my ranged weapon, bringing out melee. If, after three attacks with melee, it's just equipped and you have to tap F to bring out ranged again, this would be much smoother.
+The ability to quickdraw a pistol and fire a single round/burst, possibly at the expense of the ability to channel (possibly as part of a stance that incorporates shooting into a melee and gun akimbo)
