Not gonna lie, Qorvax is looking terrible, but I can't really say that because I also thought Dagath was mid before her release and it just turns out that DE is bad at previewing Warframes. so in short, I'm going to wait it out this time.

And here I am thinking about a Pseudo-exalted weapon SUBSUME ability,

while it's true, I don't understand the fun in gathering a bunch of standing resource like plumes, max today's standing, gather more for tomorrow's then wait it out. can there be at least a different way where we don't have to wait but it takes the same amount of time if the cap was there?

Yes Ember also has a terrible first ability, how on earth do you have an ability that gets buffed by itself, a combo multiplier, another ability, and still does crap damage? a lot of these first abilities with combo multipliers are completely pointless, like Rhino charge, why would you use the combo on Rhino charge if it's not for mobility I guess?

By the way, there is a difference between standing cap limit and something like sorties and Archon hunts. I think having a Archon hunts each week and sorties daily is fine because you don't really farm the rewards. it wouldn't really make any sense spamming sorties and getting constant rewards over and over again, Archon hunts too. it's supposed to be this special event every x amount of time that you do to get one of the better reward drops in the game. with standing, you have to farm a certain amount of standing "XP" for lack of a better term which should compensate for having no standing cap, and I mean ESPECIALLY in very old content like Poe.

Conjunction survival Today I spammed conjunction survival steel path to farm for Primary frostbite, it was pretty fun...one of the more entertaining missions because you start with 180 steel path enemies and the enemy density is so high plus the rapid decline in life support...basically how I wanted all survival missions to be. but moving on, I managed to max it out in two or three days..and I wonder, what really is the problem for having no daily limit in the game? Having no standing limit does not mean I will burn through content and forget about it, here's a content that I've finished for just this ONE ARCANE, but that doesn't mean I won't play the game anymore, it left me wanting more. and I still have other arcanes to farm in this particular mission so it's not really abandoned, and the mission itself is fun. Mirror defense too, same thing with Mirror defense, and while I hate steel path defense because sometimes the objective gets one shotted at full health for absolutely no reason, it's still a content in Warframe with no gating system that players can spam to get the arcanes and rewards it has whenever they want. Plains of eidolon and other open worlds, compare that to Open world faction system that's locked behind a daily standing limit, I don't understand the point...I would get it if you added that limit in the first three or four weeks of this particular content releasing...but why do you care so much about players finishing planes of eidolon content and getting the rewards in one go? Poe was released in 2018 nobody runs it anymore. except maybe people who like bounties and are really bored.

wouldn't that ruin the effects of other moderately animated abilities? like it's just the problem with the rockets no other ability does that to me...and it's not a flash problem, it's just the visual noise of having too much stuff going on plus the camera shake.

I know they're great passive crowd control, but they really ruin the screen and flood it with unnecessary animations. I wish at least that Gauss would fire one rocket every few seconds that has a big aoe of stagger and impact...instead of constant barrage. or remove that feature to make redline a pure buffing ability, and while that sounds boring, I have to remind you that there is absolutely nothing boring about redline....rockets or no rockets. I think this is one of the reasons why I shelved Gauss for a long time...I just couldn't find myself handling the rockets...they annoyed me so much.

this guy gets it.

Rejoice, I will finally switch to PC...about time, I am tired of the name Hopper, almost 7 years old... no more 5th and 6th PC accounts joining the instance and kicking you out...no more having to change console gen every few years....

Thanks guys for your concerns and kind words, the game is my current coping mechanism at this point, so I apologize if I post a lot lately, I'm just trying to distract myself from what's happening, not gonna lie I sometimes feel a bit ashamed using a video game to cope with my current predicaments , but it's all I got lol...I am trying to talk to people, appreciate the little things in life, like Gauss prime finally coming :D!

it's better than being overdesigned with Gold, Also I'm glad he's an Original color prime, and not one of the darker ones like Chroma, Wisp, etc...These are cool but they're too edgy for Gauss.

yeah, I'm happy for it...I wonder how much faster he'll get now.

My number 1 frame <3 when Gauss was released in 2019...I was young and stupid, But I cherished every moment I had with this amazing Warframe...made a lot of posts about him, some actually came true! like the Thermal transfer augment! I remember one of my annoying posts talking about how Gauss prime should have additional base sprint speed since he's the original Gauss...and look at us now. It's such a trivial thing really...but it means a lot to me because it made me reflect on the difference in personality, mental state and overall wellness of me In 2019 and now in 2023-24 I wish my life wasn't in shambles and quite practically falling apart right now, I'd be much more excited...I don't have a lot to live for anymore, so seeing this made be feel a bit bittersweet. <3

No. they're squeezing every little mechanic to give us even more power and you want us to get it more often?

oooh, seems like I missed a few update notes. thanks for letting me know.

I bet you are also aware of the damage increase and the critical chance increase you get from enemies affected by puncture? nice right? it's sadly capped at 5 stacks...needing two casts.

Indeed, I just went on Voruna's steel path survival mission that starts enemies at 180 and my this playstyle just keep getting more and more engaging...and my Iron skin kept getting higher and higher...it's so fun. I just wonder if we can get a reason to keep Rhino charge...it's one thing to replace a power for another more convenient to your playstyle...and another to replace it because it serves no purpose and quite useless without augments/buffs etc. I keep thinking if Rhino charge would strip armor at base value, similar to shattering impact...like enemies hit loose 50 armor per charge stacks with Rhino charge combo. it would cater to the raw power of Rhino while being a decent armor strip. he doesn't need it, and there are other better armor strips in the Helminth, but it would make him a complete frame without that system (that quite possibly ruins the identity of some frames to me, Like imagine putting roar or terrify on Yareli..)

I notice a lot of people (and now including me) have switched their Rhino playstyle thanks to some recent buffs and changes that happened regarding overguard and reinforced stomp. Rhino can now be played as a damage gating Warframe, having three layer of gating. relying on enemy damage first and enemy density second, to build up his own Iron skin. most importand gating Rhino mods are > Reinforced stomp, Iron shrapnel, and Rolling guard. invest in 60% extra range, and at least 75% extra strength with growing power to round it up to 200%, duration and efficiency is up to your liking...personally mine has 140% duration and 160% efficiency thanks to tauforged shards. previously you had to invest in Ironclad charge, use lots of armor and strength, plus arcanes to get a decent amount of Ironskin health...but it was always finite. this Rhino playstyle, doesn't need armor nor strength, at least 200% strength is enough for him, and normal amount of armor would suffice. and it scales indefinitely. there are tricks and strategies that will allow you to get 18mil iron skin armor from enemy damage....first is malice, just let it magnetize you, shoot yourself with a strong gun and watch your iron skin go up. Blitz eximus deals a lot of damage with its special attack and can build up your IS very quickly. not gonna lie, my original Rhino build had 400% strength without arcanes or invigorations, just pure mods and shards, it was hard for me seeing all that roar damage and ironclad armor halved, but the build was extremely impractical, with negative strength and efficiency I was starving for energy and all I had for defense relied on the number of enemies in the vicinity to charge towards.

It's too mechanic-heavy with too much features...the good thing about Rhino is that he has no mechanics. 2 absorbs damage and armor for a layer of defense 3 buffs damage 4 aoe slow. so his passive and his 1 have to be exactly like that. To be fair I would never get mad if DE straight up copied March rush on Rhino charge...since it's exactly how I imagined Rhino charge to be reworked....buut since that's not gonna happen. Passive: gain 10% more sprint speed for each 50 armor Rhino has. completely raw, no mechanics, no set ups. then Rhino charge: have it's range, speed and casting speed multiplied by Rhino's current sprint speed. if you can't use it for damage, and if you can't make it like mach rush, then you can at lease make it a decent mobility power.

yeah I think I realized late that all of them aren't needed, even Ironclad...the damage you take alone at higher levels is enough to grant you over 1 mil iron skin...at mid levels just use any source of an armor buff like arcane tanker or just use it normally it'll still be fine. but now I gotta figure out what to replace Charge with. you know what I like about Rhino? everything is just pure raw power, no weird mechanics and no set ups, and this passive is just like that I like it!. but I think it needs to just to ramp up speed as he moves + a kinetic field that knocks down enemies in his wake...and that's it. what are your ideas for helminth? I don't want more armor, and I am tired of using nourish...I need something new...

I was trying to Build Rhino in a way where he's extremely bloated with strength and uses all of this abilities...so I had to use Ironclad charge, because Iron charge on it's own is pointless. until I figured, Ironclad charge is kind of outdated...sure I get a lot of armor, but it needs another augment, either reinforced stomp to heal the overguard I got, or shrapnel to recast Iron skin in case I got more armor from Ironclad. so I need three augments just to sustain Ironclad charge, that's completely stupid. I had to do the right thing and just play raw with Rhino, with 0 augments... but now what do I use Rhino charge for? definitely not damage, it's CC is terrible and stomped by stomp, and it's mobility option is VERY clunky, having to cast multiple times with a steep casting animation and invest in more than 160% range. It needs to have some Rhino sprinting, or at least any sort of mechanic-less feature that I can use it for...something Raw like the rest of Rhino's abilities. Otherwise, I'll have to use helminth :/ and I really only use it as a last resort if the ability is extremely bad...

I really don't know what should I change in the wording of the OP so I can cater to those with little to no attention span...like I think it's pretty clear already GET OLD WUKONG DEFY AS A HELMINTH ABILITY. I didn't say get old Defy back, I didn't say rework defy...I said OLD defy AS a HELMINTH ABILITY. I also said A channel ability, not Wukong's channel ability....I described it as a new ability separate from Wukong! like what exactly am I supposed to change? this post came to me when I heard pablo thought about adding Hydroid's undertow as a Helminth ability...what did he say differently so people understood him and not me?

Jesus christ! please read properly my guy If you're not gonna read the thread properly and just skim through without knowing what it actually means then you really don't need to comment. Sneaky, you're a a true hero, not because of what you do for a living, but because you read the post properly.

^^^^^ Deny lol Read the part I replied to here. It's amazing how much I explained it again and again, and people still don't get it. Forums have the attention span of a Goldfish sometimes lol.
