I love the youtubes and twitch streams you do. I agree with most of this.
1: Could you please explain the void monsters better in the original post? Such as... Are they enemies that appear and defeating them gives a bonus? Are they just shadows that wander around when limbo's on the team? If they're the result of killing something banished then awesome. If they're just always there and they're a pain that you need a limbo to deal with them, then I absolutely object.
2: The banish into an AoE, I kinda agree, but it doesn't solve the "I can't do anything without rolling after each banish" problem. Would it be like a miniature cataclysm that has to be retracted after use, but doesn't trap enemies in as much as stuns them after going in or out for a second or so? It'd be nice, but would suffer a bit of homogenized powersets. I wouldn't mind a bit of a cataclysm rework though.
3: I kinda agree with the Peacemarker redo, I'd prefer a middleground though, where you fire automatically at anything around your crosshair and anything you've marked with altfire since that's a thing now, it's just turning Peacemakers into a pair of boltos makes my mouse finger nervous.
4: When Mesa's far off but eventual redesign comes around, I want a better shooting gallery. Sharing a buff with your team is nice, but losing duration on your buff and making it not recastable until everyone's had a turn with your baby is the reason I don't play my duration Mesa with others. This's the reason you don't see duration Mesas in random games.
5: While I disagree with you that their design is unfitting of Warframe, as Frost, Trinity, Banshee and Saryn seem to have clothing-like bits... (Well, Mesa's default helmet doesn't look like a helmet at all, unlike every other frame) I do support variety, and additional designs for frames.

The thing is, still not worth giving up a mod slot for it when you could just cram more damage into your weapon, increasing your rate-of-killin'.
Depends on the other mods in your build. I still think this thing brings Jat Kittag into usefulness after the level 70ish threshhold... unfortunately, if you're that far into the game and you aren't running 3-4 corrosive projection then you really should extract already. Even after stripping 100% of the armor, health pools are still ridiculous...
-
The mod does not work as written... It takes about 100 hits (regardless of weapon) to fully remove a level 100 Arid Heavy Gunner's armor. If it only removed 6 armor at max rank it would've taken over 1000 hits. It is easier to use a melee weapon that chains into finishers such as ankyros prime with Seismic Palm, or if you have a full stun, any Tonberry Knife. (last tested 17.1.5)
Against medium armored targets like scorches that don't require special takedowns but last longer than a crewman/lancer this mod can cut a few hits to kill off of weapons focused on hitting multiple enemies, such as whips, and hammers... maybe heavy blades, though OP heavy blade stances might disagree.

wow what a nut punch seriously they crushed my sexy dreams dang it DE
Always a chance at some similar armor from void trader in the future.

and I get this:
It would be nice if the camera focused on the item in question rather than where it's kept when editing appearance

Phrasing, lotus...
I realized a bit late that the head's a bit too large, and I forgot to shade the hands. stuff happens.

of all of the "better forma" ideas I've read, this is the best.

To where do i send my sympathy cookies?

This is powercreep at its best , i think, and so its a bad idea. lets see:
primed +90% dmg for rifles? check , same for secondarys, mele, shotungs? check , primed streamline? check, primed strech? check, just keep going with all the r5 mods. also look at the primed dual stat mods( dmg+ status), that would be really op, because its only 6 ranks, and it hives more dmg and more status that a 90% mod and 2 dual status mods, that would kill the game with its 105% dmg and status chance.
this is the top tier of the powercreep, even so i would like to see primed streamline even if it damages the efficiency just for the lulz but thats another story.
What about only for certain mods marked compatible, so that new players don't have to wait half a year, or bleed into trade just so they can get competative mods for their shotgun?

Nothing else should be clearer so it's all good.
Out of curiosity when the arrow hits on his 4, does it give a guaranteed proc? if not then what percentage do you give it to proc that element.
Oh jeez... yeah, the 4, that's a mess. I spent too much time writing it yesterday, so it probably needs some clarification.
In short, I'd assume the proc chance would vary depending on the arrow, but be rather high (50% to 100% on hit, 10-30% on persistent aoe damage, unless specified that it procs, which would then be a 100% chance, such as radiation and viral. Magnetic and corrosive work in a way that's similar to the proc, but not the actual proc.)
At the moment, this's the way I see the 4 working: when you get an elemental proc with a weapon (perhaps including the bow from (1) ability, since it'd feed off of the primary,) you get a charge of that proc for the 4, up to a limit of around 10, modified by some power stat.
When you activate it, you ready the ability which uses a charge, one arrow from the (1), and about 40-50 energy when used (similar to a regular bow) deactivating is instant, to avoid having that ability become too great of a risk to use.
I didn't consider initial impact proc, as my thoughts were that it'd be too high damage to use. You did bring up an interesting thought though... the 4 wouldn't provide charges for itself, otherwise once you have your first proc provides one element, and that's all you get for the mission, or so.

Those stats are reasonable but i think you should buff up either the health or armor a little bit and by "paragraph it a little" i mean make it a bit clearer
I've expanded. After watching the devstream I think I know how I want the stealth and movement abilities to work. Both points should make things clearer, but if it's just more cluttered thoughts, could I get some direct questions, so I know what isn't clear? Or is it just my basic organization that doesn't work? I'm willing to budge a bit on the health and armor, but I still think evasion and stealth should be this frame's primary form of survival. If it has evasion, stealth, range, and a thick skin, it'd be too OP, at least in my opinion.
-
Alot of (and probably MOST) people who called for the Supra buff wanted the Projectile travel time faster. That was one of the core problems why I absolutely didn't have much fun using it. and many others.
Only in the literal sense of most. I think about 60% want the projectile speed faster. I.M.O. they should just utility mod for that while the rest of us enjoy the buff to our favorite shotgun
-
My vote's for Prisma Kraken. Would love to release it again.
Nah. I won't accept any kraken upgrade that isn't Kraken Prime as the first non-tenno prime for the acceptable releasing of which.
-
That's mainly from naming and his connection with the forests (his original drop location was pre-chicken vay hek when earth just switched over to a magical forest tileset)
-
Confirmed info about Supra buff:
+damage
90>180 mag size
540>1080 ammo reserve
almost doubled projectile velocity
As I expected, Soma Prime treatment, lol.
Inb4 damage buff is ~20%.
You forgot to mention the best part of all. 3s reload.
Seriously, I could take my pseudoshotty with those, but without the projectile velocity and still call that buff good for a MR7 weapon with a syndicate mod...
Now we just need the status to matter.
-
He's being dismissive and saying that saryn is a plant themed frame, which it's not - it's poison/snake themed, but it has a helmet that has a flower so assumptions are made.
-
Thank you for the feedback, the point of those sorts of values was to be vague. I'm thinking that I want the Shields to be at 125, health at 75, armor at 65 (115ish when most frames get their armor buff.) Power damage, utility, and speed have too much miscellaneous factors contributing to them, and having hard values compared to intangibles doesn't work.
By paragraph a little, do you mean that I should expound on topics, or give clearer separation?

When it comes to the tools of the Tenno, few are more iconic than the bow. The Plume, named for the feathers once iconic to the fletcher, is a master of its custom bow.
Warframe name- Plume
Central concept- Archer ninja
Additional concept elements: owls, medieval fantasy rangers
Stats: (generalizing stats)
Mobility - A (~1.2-1.25)
Shields - B (~125 base)
Health - D (~75-100 base, 65-115 armor)
Energy - (low max, low use)
Power Damage - A
Power Utility - B (While good and varied support effects with camo beacon and whatever High Energy Arrows ends up being, the effect shouldn't feel amazing, as much as nice bonuses)
Powers: (working titles)
(1)(Bow) Readies or stows a frame-specific collapsing puncture focused compound bow. Energy is consumed when you create more arrows by pressing R. (See notes:1) Damage scales off of primary weapon mods?
++Possible alt fire: (with alt fire button) Fires a horizontal or vertical line of arrows (depending on whether you're crouching or standing, due to bow position) Takes as many arrows as it fires, probably five.
++Possible alt fire/augment: (With attack down sights) works similar to buzlok's tracker, but hitscan and the tracker doesn't alert target. Only uses 3 "arrows" at most
(2)(Camouflage beacon) drops an easy to destroy beacon at a location that grants invisibility, but is not invisible itself, and will alert enemies if placement isn't careful. The beacon grants invisibility to those within a range. The invisibility lasts about 15sec when out of range. Dropping a new beacon will destroy the old one.
++Possible augment: affects allies at half duration
(3)
(Escape) Moves blindingly fast along the ground and possibly walls towards the targeted location, undetectable while moving, and invisible for ~2s after.(4) -Charged Arrow: Readies the first power bow with a supercharged arrow that does increased damage, and persists to where it lands or hits for a duration. When you inflict a status proc, you gain an elemental charge. (See Power Notes:1)
Possible altfire: jam the arrow into the ground (which will work as a melee attack, but is used primarily for defenses or buffs.
++Effects:
+++Magnetic arrow - minor damage over time: arrows, thrown secondary and melee will seek targets in the area, enemy shields suppressed. Enemies with ferrite armor will be pulled in from 2x range. Allies gain overshield boosts.
+++Radiation arrow - damage over time: Enemies in the area will be confused and prioritize attacking each other over allies. Allies in that area gain a melee speed bonus.
+++Blast arrow -high damage explosive arrow.
+++Corrosive arrow: Enemy armor is suppressed, allies gain significant damage reduction(~40% or so)+++Viral arrow: Enemies afflicted by viral's cut hp and puncture's weaken procs, followed with a bleed proc when they leave the area. Allies are healed over this time.
+++Gas arrow: enemies have a chance to be lured in if close to the zone, take a damage over time effect, and will be unable to leave the area until the effect ends.
+++Fire arrow: on impact releases a flame blast dot
+++Ice arrow: on impact, freezes enemies, opening them for finisher attacks (or all attacks against them do finisher damage)
+++Electric arrow: sends out single target electrical shocks that will either do high damage to an enemy, or restore some energy to an ally.
+++Toxin arrow: Extremely high toxin damage on the arrow, if allies are in range of the impact lose a negative status proc against them, and gain a buffer against further procs for a duration
Passive:
Elemental procs inflicted will be collected into high energy arrows
Potential additional passive: (Above passive is integral to a power, not a bonus...)
If Castanas are equipped, Escape will pin one on a few enemies along the way.
Increased base status% chance
Thrown melee weapons do not need to be charged to be thrown when not equipped.
Power Notes:
(1) Arrows: (in this) relates to an amount charged with the first power - bow ammunition and purple boxes do not factor in. You can have 2.5x the number of a reload in the ability's quiver (based on power duration.) You can have the amount of one reload for elemental charges or however many arrows you have, whichever is lower. If you use an arrow with the first power (and not the fourth), and your ammo count lowers, you can lose an elemental charge. If you're at maximum capacity, and you proc more statuses, it'll replace oldest-first to rotate the effects through.
Concept Notes:
(1) While this will be meant to be the bow frame, the amount of skills that relate to its bow should be limited. This isn't a moba, where you have four abilities, all tied to a static weapon. Similarly, passives tied to bows will be near useless, as similar to excalibur, if you have a supercharged weapon, why would you use its underpowered equivalent. So, to promote weapon use variety, passives shouldn't be tied to bows, but rather non-bow weapons commonly associated with archers.
(2) High energy arrows seems a bit too complex, but I think that the way it works would be potentially fun. Note that location of impact is where the arrow would be, either in the rag-dolled target, or wherever the arrow lands if it misses. I'm considering that High Energy Arrows should be toggled on and off, and make you immobile while on, to encourage burst use. I can't even consider how balance would work with this frame, so some vague parts should remain vague, IMO.
(3) The frames that should be used as a baseline comparison will be Ash, (somewhat Chroma,) Excalibur, Loki, Mesa, and Valkyr. If this seems too much like any of them, I'll take arguments and suggestions into consideration.
(4) Concept version 1.0 is here:

The way the bow works is in my concept art-hole here:
https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/481468-wip-archer-frame-rebuild/
Current state:
+Power slot #3 is needing a new ability. I'd rather keep it closer to the ninja theme than the archery theme to avoid overloading. I'm considering something that interacts with a sentinel or creates a custom sentinel. Another thought is into developing escape better.
+Damage 3.0 might make the current High Energy Arrow elemental chart completely useless
+Ability animations might be an eventual possibility
+Open to constructive feedback and suggestions.

People criticized my Banshee prime fanart for having headphones, saying that's Mag's territory. Not for the lack of art quality which was much better founded. I only regret not having more +1's to give this.

Status per second is currently being affected by speed mods. I know it wasn't when this thread went up and when I first commented, but between that and the combustion beam, continuous weapons are in a much better place.
