Every time I see people complain about "artificial difficulty" in Warframe I die a little inside since I'm remembered about the Souls series of games in which is the same damn thing artificial difficulty since enemies hit like a truck but has increadibly dumb AI and predictable moves.
You can beat 99% of enemies in the Souls series by just dodge rolling them to death yet everyone praises the series for being "difficult".
To be frank all I see in both the Souls series and Warframe is the same thing: Veterans will breeze through the game while newbs will cry out.
Atleast Warframe has the balls so add both difficulty and force you to do lateral thinking aswell as reward true skill. Because let's face it the Souls series look stupidly easy compared to 40mins + of T4 survival ever since Corruped Bombards where added.
Oh, i cant exactly agree with you on this and here is why.
The problem with warframes is that it uses cheap tactics to promote ''difficulty'' while in soul series every you can do to the enemy the enemy can do to you but they have more health and for the most part they dont dodge.
Lets take for example void bombard since you already mentioned him. His rockets have a high rate of fire, they deal quite a bit of damage and they have a homing mechanic with the bombard himself being extremely tanky and durable.
Here is where the cheap part comes in: the homing on rockets is insane (seriously i saw some of the rockets making a 90 degree turns to hit you) and the blast radius itself is quite a bit larger than than it looks. If you try to dodge roll they will follow and hit you, if you manage to avoid them they will still hit you as there is no way to tell their radius. They also do damage trough nearly any obsticle you can think of so you cant even hide.
The only way i have found out to avoid the rockets 100% is to turn tail and run for the hills. You can also attack the bombard but will still get hit with the rockets he previously fired.
In conclusion: warfames uses quite a few cheap tricks to make the game harder than it actually is. In fact if DE gave us invincibility frames for our warframes i can tell you it would make the game so easy that it would make 90% of the content trivial.

I personally hate ulti spam. I hate it with gusto... but there is a reason behind it: The way these ulties are designed makes my eyes hurt every time more than one person uses them. I cant see S#&$, i dont know where the enemies are and im not even sure who im shoting at.
I main Volt and the only time i use ulti is when im surrounded by enemies and i need a quick stun in order to melee their &#!.
The problem i see with the ulti spam these days in warframe is that everyone expects you to do it. Its becoming a joke. The recruit chat is flooded by people that want a one button team where you can just remove your brain and put in a jar of formladehide cause you wont need it at all for 1 hour or more.
I can play my Volt in any t4 mission solo but i cant cause ingame is happening exactly the opposite of whats going on on the forums: ulti spammers are
forcingshoving their playstyle in your face and if you dont play it their way you are a noob, you suck etc etc etc...And no playing with firends or clanmates does not help as about 90% of this community is spamming like there is no tomorow.

What? I was under the impression only armour rating affected his Snow Globe? I run around with all 3 maxed but I still thought only armour was SG related. I had a look at the wiki too, can only see armour affecting it unless I did miss something.
I heard only of Steel Fiber affecting, not Redirection and Vitality.
I might be wrong... but when i heard of the buff to snowglobe on a very old devstream we were told that all the defense mods (vitality, redirection and steel fiber) affect the globe.
-
Then we might as well make every augment be an actual effect for their skill. Right?
Actually yes, most of the augments this game offers should have been a part of the warframe skill set from the get go.
-
DE took a loaded gun, pointed it at their foot and pulled the trigger with Greedy Pull imo. My wife loves the thing while i on the other hand cant stand half the ''augments'' this game tries to sell.
-
Another ''augment'' that should have been the actual effect for a skill.
-
Frosts defensive stats affect his Snow Globe (like redirection, vitality and steel fiber). I dont know how common of a knowlege it is but ive seen far too many Frosts that have bubbles that have have the endurance of a soap bubble.Made a mistake here that was explained by some other players: steel fiber and strenght mods affect globes health only.
My appologies.

Akjagara is a good weapon. Ive yet to forma it but even without a forma its hitting quite hard. You people apparently need to learn to mod properly.
I dont know about dual raza (its currently baking in the foundry) but panthera is a let down imo with a ''special'' mechanic that doesnt let me aim -__-
-
Question: is there a possibility for buffin' the combo meter?
-
SO you're saying that the pistols built for new players need mods that onl old players had acess to??? What???
Also, horrible, quite horrible spelling and grammar and diction. Do you even know what a sentence is?
They guy may not be a native english speaker, give him a break, also Akjagara works just fine even without the event mods. Mine one-shots everything up to lvl 50 and its not even fully modded. Above 50 its a minor annoyance but thats it.

Honestly, i dont this game a awful lot for the past few months but i have to say that keeping kubrow ''fed'' is not a hard task. It takes about 4 days for the DNA integrity to drop to 60% and if you play for about 1h a day i can say that in 4 days you should have enough money for one pack of kubrow go pack.
Take into account that you get enough vials for a month from one pack and you can keep kubrow very alive for a long time. Sure if something happends to the game itself and you cant log in, yea that a pain in the royal behind.
On to the topic at hand.
I would kill for a command function on kubrows and an ability for them to revive their master. As far as sentinel vs kubrow debate i have to say kubrows for life.

Or we could just do what AW did that the beginning... and move Toxin to a D slot. Because that would balance it out, two elements D, two elements -.
That wouldnt help even a little bit. Just for example sidearms have only 2 D polarity mods: the ice element and sure shot, of which only one is actualy worth using.
Which leaves us with only one mod in sidearms for D polarity. When i opened my Kohmak in sidearms and saw that polarity i wanted to delete the weapon instantly.
-
Its been a LOOOOOOOOOONG time DE since you promised us players new D polarity mods. Too long for me to still be happy about it.
Quite simple realy here, altho it might sound harsh: give us worthwhile mods for D polarity.
Having a D polarity in weapons is a cruel joke that im afraid i cant digest anymore.

I dont know how to put this bluntly and still sound objective.... Channeling is still unfinished... yes lets go with that. Its unfinished.
As it currently stands we have have 8, if my memory serves me correctly, channeling mods not counting the nightmare mod Focus energy and the corrupt mod Corrupt Charge.
Those are:
Reflex Coil (60% CHe (CHe = channeling efficiency))
Killing Blow (120% channeling damage)
Life Strike (20% life steal, -140% CHe)
Second Wind (+30 stamina on kill, -60% CHe)
True Punishment (+40% crit chance, -60% CHe)
Enduring Strike (+60% status chance, -40% CHe)
Warrior's Grip (+20% parry damage to stamina, -80% CHe)
Quickening (+20% attack speed, -80% CHe)
Now if we take a look at the mods we can see that some of the bonuses are quite nice, but the downsides are borderline horrendous. Even more so considering the fact that the resource for it is warframes own energy pool.
In my oppinion it wouldnt be a problem if our energy wasnt so limiting. From all my tests ive done with almost every frame in the game, the only, THE ONLY frame that can successfully use channeling normaly is Trinity.
Now as it stands just adding Life strike at 1/3 points the cost goes from 5 to nearly 9!!!!
Thats 9 points of energy for each strike for a meesly 10% life steal. Volt for example, without Flow mod has 150 energy meaning that 10 hits eat up 90 energy!!!
Now i wouldnt mind the cost if the damage or the positive part of the channeling was worth the cost. The sad part is that it isnt. The only channeling mod that is worth its cost is Killing Blow with Life strike being almost mandatory with nearly any frame that wants to survive using melee.
But even so, even with Killing Blow you can reach about 2x damage during channeling and thats it. A orthos prime with max preasure point, life strike 1/3, reflex coil, corrosive+cold element (focus energy), killing blow and fury cant kill a lvl 30 heavy gunner without putting in ALOT of effort. Even worse is the fact that if i wasnt with Trinity i would of eaten trough 50 energy just to kill the heavy gunner.
Even the normal units take a while to kill with channeling at lvl 30.
Now in order to make channeling effective is add several more mods for it. Improving the old ones and changing the resource for it or massively increasing the damage of channeling. As it currently stands, if there wasnt the Life support mod channeling would hardly be used by anyone.

I was very bored. Dont ask why >_>
Might add two more augments in the future.
-
>Uses Ash's Augment to reduce bombard's armor to 0
>Crits on a headshot
>Pretends these are all normal circumstances
They are if you are using 4xCorrosive aura for t4 survival or defense. Still counts.

You mean stealthy hundred pound hammer should hit for less than a measly flesh wound stab?
Entirely deppends on where you hit. I get what you are saying, but stealth kind of means that you are not making much of a noise instead of a hundred pound hammer smacking the metal floor >_>

See, I disagree here. Take the void + prime dilution. Instead of implementing a token system which had a lot of support, in any of the various fashions that were mentioned, they instead just kept juggling prime locations, over and over and over, until they implemented trading (which still isn't a perfect solution).
OH yea, this is a thorn in my side. A very big one and one of the very few things that im still fuming over whenever i think about it.
Doesnt change the fact that the community can screw things over just as well as DE can.

Been playing this game since open beta day one, and while there are points in this post that agree on i have to say i would probably take it more seriously if you didnt start writing things like "DE has no idea about x/y thing" and similar.
Im hardly a white knight(i do have my fair share of deep dark secrets) but imo most of the problems with warframe go into the rapidly growing community.
Yes DE makes mistakes no doubt about it, but most of the times its like this:
CM (community): DE FIX THIS PLOX!
DE: sure (de fixes it according to how they want)
CM: NONONO NOT LIKE THAT (insert random rage comment)! Fix it like this.DE: might as well try (DE fixes again)
CM: god "#$%&/ DE you fail again. I quit etc, etc.Ya cant please everyone, its why we are where we are.
-
Stalker needs a serious buff. IMO he should be as mobile as a manic and be harder to hit.
No, nonononononononono...nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!
No Stalker buffing.
There was a phase when stalker was buffed to a point where he was aimboting and had the ability to switch weapons faster than the human eye can follow while shoting both dread and despair at the same time.
Also he was able to oneshot anything that had less than 900hp.
-
Makes no sense what-so-ever. I'ma wait until DE gives us official info about it. In the end it will probably be another zelous overreaction from the ''vocal'' part of the community.
-
Its only march people. we still have 9 months before the year is over.
-
It should 1. have a five-second timer, and 2. only drop down one multiplier if we fail to keep the combo going within that time. So if I had a 2.0 multiplier going and didn't hit anything for five seconds, the multiplier would be 1.5X. Although perhaps from there it would drop faster, offering me only three seconds to prevent it from dropping again.
Five seconds is in most cases still too low as most melee weapons cant keep up with enemies in higher levels (t4) meaning that once you kill a enemy by the time you reach the next one you may lose more than one. Id increas it to 7 or 8 seconds.
Furax Wraith Channeling damage!

Why would you consider them bad for channeling?
