  1. 1. Stop time

    2. Throw crap ton of despair knives (they float in the air during time stop)

    3. Resume time

    4. Crush enemy with Jat Kittag.

     

    Sounds good to me.

     

    Maybe the time stop effect should be like a reversed version of Nyx's absorb? Enemies caught in the bubble are suspended in time, and shooting in to the bubble will accumulate damage which hits the enemy all at once when the time stop wears off? This would also work greatly as a form of CC against heavy enemies.

    I don't know if you guys ever played this game called "Advent Rising", but...

     

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advent_Rising

     

    The time-stop ability in this game is something I will never forget and had me hooked.  Now, if it were possible to apply this time-stop ability to a new warframe and make it work, I think it would be a new love of many.  that's if it can be applied.  I wonder if DE could pull it off.

  2. Must be a bug for me then as it's not showing at all even after a relog. 

     i see my problem i was in a squad, My bad people sorry

    You have to use the "back" button and back all the way out, even if you are in the lobby where you see the entire Solar System.  Then the Z will show up in your appearance menu.

  3. Well... according to this survey on my network, the buffering is way too high for uplink, and downlink is really low.  Looks like my ISP is cheating me.

     

    Network buffer measurements (?): Uplink 1200 ms, Downlink 400 ms

  4. Don't simply ask for change, for the sake of change. You may be unhappy with the resulting changes. I personally don't want this melee update.

     

    We only have four lives per day, so I like to spend my lives wisely, and my time playing Warframe doing as many missions as I can quickly before I have to go to bed so I can get ready for real life. I do not want to spend my time in Warframe doing combos and/or trying to see how long I can make my combo. I want to cut my enemy in half and move on to the next one.

     

    The game is hard as is without having to waste extra time in a mission trying to melee each enemy with hundreds of enemies in a mission. That would take twice as long to complete missions.

     

    I want to keep my Orthos Prime and my Galatine for charge attacks. DE plans to remove charge attacks from the game.

     

    When you are in a room, and you are running low on health, and you have 5 enemies shooting you, will you pull out your sword and begin to melee one of the enemies. Or will you simply pull out your Soma and mow them down in 5 seconds.

    According to what you wrote here, I would assume you prefer guns over melee.  Apparently, to you, using guns is much less time consuming than using melee.  Also you say you don't have much time for gaming due to real life, or at least that was my impression.  I'm having a hard time figuring out why melee 2.0 will be a waste of your personal time when you prefer to use guns anyway.  The current melee system wasn't working for you either.

     

    If I remember correctly, Melee 2.0 still has a charge attack of some kind, but it involves apply "warframe energy", and from what I have seen on the devstream, one attack vaporized an enemy.  An efficient use of time perhaps?

     

    haha me either. But do you like currently being able to cut an enemy in half with charge attack or you wanna waste 5 seconds per each enemy trying to kill them? I prefer option A.

     

    I mean maybe PC players have a lot of time to spend doing each mission, but I don't. I have a limited time for gaming, as I have a family and work.  Imagine how long it would take to complete a mission when you are doing 150 -500 enemies, at level 50+ , and you have to melee them all with Combos. I want to cut enemy cleanly in half and move on with my Orthos Prime. GG.

    You still can just stick to your old method and use guns to save time.  Having a hard time understanding how your time will be wasted by using melee when you don't care for using melee much anyway.  I know you do use it for making charge attacks, but why bother when you use guns, right?  Also, does this mean that you believe anyone that owns a PC have no (real) life other than being on the PC all day everyday?  Does this mean that people with a PS4 make better use of their time in real life because they own a PS4?

  5. I think I understood.  That's until talking about pasta.  That's where I got lost.  Unless there is such a thing as exclusive pasta.  Never heard of it before.  Though I wish I obtained some special items in the game when the time came, I don't really care much about them (mainly because I can't obtain them.)  If I could obtain them, I certainly would work to snatch them up.  Don't know what kind of -ist that would make me though.  "Opportunist" comes to mind.

  6. I have to wonder, while melee 1.0 still exists, who else:

     

    -uses melee constantly/exclusively

    -does NOT use charge attacks on weapons that don't specialize in them(only charge with jat kittag, kestrel, glaive)

    -does NOT use weapons for zorencoptering

     

    It's quite effective. It just sounds like I'm the only one who does.

    Me.

  7. I thought of the first ability some more, and here is what i came up with.  I'll put the other abilities with it so they all can be seen together.  I may make a few illustrations for the warframe idea, but not certain on that yet.

     

    Ability 1: Shrapnel Bomb

    Single target attack; minor area of effect.

    Turns a single target into a shrapnel bomb that explodes into shards of darkness, mildly damaging all surrounding enemies.  The exploding target experiences the most damage.

     

    Ability 2: Shadow Clone

    Affect self only.

    Darkness or dark energy makes a double of yourself, and that shadowy double attacks enemies for a short time.

     

    Ability 3: Obfuscate

    Team affect; self and all allies.

    Makes the entire team unseen temporarily.

     

    Ability 4: Area of Darkness

    Major area of effect.

    Fog -- All enemies within the vicinity will be engulfed in a dark cloud, becoming temporarily confused and take damage over time.  Damage ignores shields, affecting health as a vampire effect that heals the entire team.

  8.  

     
     
    Umbra or Penumbra
    Stealth-Support Hybrid Warframe
     
    With the powers of darkness and skills in obfuscation; probably female, (resembling something of what Ash was going to be before the final decision on design.)
    Speedy movements.
     
     
    Ability 1: Shroud
    Target a friend or foe.
    Foe -- damage over time; a black cloud surrounds or engulfs enemy, causing temporary confusion.  Damage ignores shields.
    Friend -- heal over time; a black cloud hides ally from enemies temporarily; opposite effect of targeting enemies. Does not affect shields.
     
    Ability 2: Shadow Cloak
    Affect self only.
    Become unseen by the enemy while cloaked with black smoke.  Heal over time.
     
    Ability 3: Obfuscate
    Team affect; self and all allies.
    All alies and self will be surrounded by black smoke, becoming unseen by the enemy temporarily.  Heal over time.
     
    Ability 4: Area of Darkness
    Area of effect.
    Fog -- All enemies within the vicinity will be engulfed in a dark cloud, becoming temporarily confused and take damage over time.  Damage ignores shields.

     

    Okay.  I changed the powers but still having trouble thinking of something for the first ability.

     

    Ability 2: Shadow Clone
    Affect self only.
    Darkness or dark energy makes a double of yourself, and that shadowy double attacks enemies for a short time.
     
    Ability 3: Obfuscate
    Team affect; self and all allies.
    Makes the entire team unseen temporarily.
     
    Ability 4: Area of Darkness
    Area of effect.
    Fog -- All enemies within the vicinity will be engulfed in a dark cloud, becoming temporarily confused and take damage over time.  Damage ignores shields, affecting health as a vampire effect that heals the entire team.
  9. you got 4 powers that all do almost the same thing

     

    Everything is the same, they just "one up" the next. Black smoke that heals and hides friends and DoT enemies (ignoring shields for some reason)

     

    I like the concept but this is one glorified skill is all. Run with it some more

    Yeah.  Thanks guys.  I realized something was wrong after i posted it, but i left it anyway.  Had to start somewhere.  First ideas tend to be the worst until worked on and polished, so i'm meditating on the powers more.  This kinda feels like a puzzle now.  I will think of some more stuff and post it.

  11. Because its getting out of hand.

     

    If after 25 minutes in random group gathered from Recruting Host suddenly decides "We have good weapons and we go balls deep for an hour!", when somebody complains he replies "I brought you here not for nothing we do as i say!". People who already grew tired have two options:

    - leave mission and leave smug A****** with all the stuff and bonus exp

    - go to the extraction and as soon as escape timer starts Host just shuts down game so nobody gets anything

     

    Not the first time that happens. I know that DE wants to avoid griefing with Void Keys but that whole - "Host leaves - fuk you all" thing is not too healthy because it gives Host controll over situation that can also be abused.

     

    Let the early dropers drop early for love of god. If someone doesnt want to continue fightig - he will jsut camp at exist or go afk leeching timed rewards even if he is dead. If someone wants to fight forever - fine let the poor grinder grind.

     

    Its same bloody reasoning as with Defence and Interception. Some want to just stick till 15 minutes fot guaranteed rewards, some people have 4xForma Brakks and want to melt faces for an hour. 

    I thought of something like this today after a couple of survival runs.  It would be a benefit to all of us if there was a system where, (just like in defense missions), if an individual wants to leave early -- for reasons like bathroom, kids need attention, or got to go to an appointment in real life --  then they can just go to extraction after 5 minutes are up and opt to leave or stay without ruining the mission's progress for others in the team.  It's a perfect idea, and I don't see any reason why it should not be put into the game.  It just makes sense.  This is not in regard to the complainers or whiners, but it just seems to make sense, especially if it is already placed in defense missions.  I think everyone would feel great relief if DE added this in.

  12. Don't get me wrong.  Valkyr is one of my most favorite warframes, and i use her almost every time and on almost every mission.  What i like about her is that her powers are not astronomical like many of the other warframes.  I like the other warframes and i have no problem with their powers, but i wish for Valkyr to be improved.  I think she can be far more enjoyable and useful than she is now.  i personally think it's harsh to say she is useless.  In fact, i thought that about Loki, but i gave him a second chance and thought it over.  I don't mind him so much now, but he still is not my favorite.  I can't say that he is useless either.  However, using Loki as an example, Valkyr is probably much in the same way that it takes a player with experience to understand how to use her.  Too many times i have seen players use Valkyr and failed miserably.  One thing that bothers me though, is that i needed a lot of special mods to make her work to my liking, (survivable without powers), and that meant modifying her in a way that helps me to keep from having to use her 4th power constantly.

     

    I don't want to change her or wish a change for her because i dislike her, but i do because i like her too much as a warframe.  i want the best for her as a warframe.  There is much potential and i think it has not been reached in her design.  It feels as if Valkyr was an experiment on DE's behalf, and perhaps they are not quite done with her design concept. i don't know.

     

    In my former post, it may have sounded as if i said DE doesn't know what they are doing.  I did not wish to sound that way.  I'm glad they invented Valkyr, but i wish they would have another look at her and try something different with her 4th power and maybe the 1st; something better, an improvement, without changing the initial concept.

  13. ... and I would like to know why.

     

    We were on Everest, farming Vay Hek. I was just there to get some Oberon stuff but the other guy with me obviously wanted to do something else. He was a Nekros and had spawned his dead army when I just blasted Vay Hek away with my Boltor Prime, upon which he said "omg u are $&*&*#(%&" and disconnected.

     

    What was his intention?

    Technically, since the word 'retard' means "slow", and since he was not fast enough to make the kill, he would be the $&*&*#(%& one.  Not you.

  14. Here is a funny little war frame related story for anyone who wants to see it.

     

    In Spite of myself, I kinda get way to in to video games.  The results of this are either Hysterical, or just Terrifying. It was not much longer than two weeks in the game that I built my first Clan weapon. The Ignis. "You might see where this is

    going"  

     

    My first week on the game had been frustrating. Playing with random people online who already had weapons like that. Would charge through and kill everyone in minus 5 seconds. Leaving not much for me. So I Vowed to get this weapon.

     

    And I did,  Now I enjoyed this a little too much. The moment I got the ignis, I took it in to the first survival mission.

     

    At this point id like to mention I was skyping with friends whilst I was doing this.

     

    I found myself Screaming at groups of enemies as they died around me Laughing like a mad man " AAHAHAHHAAHHA BURN FU**ERS BURN !!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA F""ING DIE !!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAH COME ON I'l BURN YOU TO ASHES!  

     

    Now That was not all i was screaming. And it was nearly constant. And it was not quiet at all. being it the sound kinda echoed through the house. My neighbors heard it and my friend was kinda fearing for his life.  

     

    So yeah. Give me a flame thrower and i become kinda scary.

     

    Hope you enjoyed the story ^_^ Id love to hear any stories any of you have ^_^ 

    So your neighborhood thought you were murdering someone in your house?

  15. I finally talked a friend of mine into playing warframe. I waited patiently on teamspeak while he finished the tutorial and then proceeded to take him through the first mission on Mercury. I had equipped Excalibur and some low level weapons that I needed xp on.

     

    We were moving along fine, me keeping enemies off his back while he moved toward our objective. We had stopped somewhere and I was explaining the icons on the mini map when I noticed something strange. There was this yellowish effect circling both of us and Lotus was going on and on blathering about something but I couldn't hear her over my own voice talking to my friend.

     

    As it turns out I guess I was still marked and those Gustav 3 people or whatever decided this was a perfect time to cash in. I switched to my level 16 Akmagnus, that being the most powerful weapon I had equipped and started going for head shots while spamming radial blind. I think I was saying something like "Ahhhh! Crap! Uh........uh... AHHHHH! Just......hang on a sec...".

     

    He went down early but managed to figure out how to revive himself without any help from me. I killed the first two but died to the last one and he managed to run over to me and revive me. I spammed radial blind again and while concentrating on headshots took out the last enemy. We both got the Split Chamber mod (something I had been trying to farm for awhile now) and then picked up Streamline somewhere along the way. He still doesn't know what the hell happened.

    Sounds like that first time i ever played Warframe, except it was Stalker I ran into on Mercury and I thought it was some angry player trying to player-kill me.  i died multiple times before i decided to quit the mission, like everyone else on my team did.  When i talked to people in region chat about it, no one knew what i was taking about, not even the people on my friend's list.  I'm not sure how i figured out that it was a powerful npc that hunts people at random, but i've been killing Stalker ever since.

     

    I say you and your friend were so lucky and with right to brag about it.  However... In my experience, it is always good to have at least one good, fully leveled, fully modded, and forma-influenced weapon equipped.  Why?  because anytime you change to a weak set of weapons, or even equip a weaker warframe, it is almost a guaranteed way to invite Stalker into your Tenno life.

     

    ..and sometimes the G3.
