    Orokin Void Why?!

    in General Discussion

    Seems to be working as intended. The allure of prime weapons/frames are their scarcity. Just because you run 10 Tx xxx in a row doesn't make you entitled to prime parts. 'If' the drop rate is 3% expect to get other things.

     

    The question then becomes, do you want rare resources or random mod? I'd take the resource any day, I'd even take the credits over getting Provoked

    Try saying that on Pluto.

    Especially during Nightmare mode.

    And I guess this is where the real problem lies with frames like Rhino. In that situation Rhino has as little hope as the next frame, which is good. However, Rhino never needs to visit a Pluto Nightmare mission to get what he wants. He can get the same mod out of nightmare mode in Venus - the drop rate might be a little less but the completion rate will be a lot higher.

    Thats the whole point of why its a problem - it trivialises content and makes gameplay mechanics irrelevant, making it no-skill baby-easy mode and all the work developer put into enemies abilities and environmental hazards a wasted effort.

     

    Well seeing as the same developers also created the Rhino frame I doubt they'd consider themselves wasting their own time.

     

    Rhino at lower level missions is the same as any other frame that can move fast with abilities to avoid combat, except he wades through enemies and soaks up the damage - you can run through most content with a number of frames and get the same results.

    Rhino at higher levels has just enough time to run into a mass of mobs before his ironskin shreds and stomps for CC. That's his job and ironskin is an essential part.

     

    Where he becomes kind of ridiculous is when you start adding forma to his frame paired with a forma'd weapon - at that point, stupidity is the only thing that gets you killed. However, unless you spend real money, investing that much into a frame and weapon (set) takes a long time. For those that achieve it, the power is well earned.

     

    Rhino is a powerful frame, there's no doubt about it. The issue lies more in the overall balance of the game than a single frame.

    I think the only thing I can possible accept in this post is the speed reduction because Rhino prime/vanguard/rush makes you nearly as fast if not faster than loki.

     

    ^this. I finally finished building my Rhino yesterday and thanks to the event affinity boost got him to 30 in no time. The biggest thing (by far) I noticed compared to my normal Rhino is the speed. With vanguard and rush I had no trouble keeping up with the likes of Loki while still being able to fulfill the tank role.

     

    In the more fed-ex type missions I pretty much get there first taking no damage.

     

    I don't think he needs to be changed though. He's a prime frame and there will always be less people who have him (and only a fraction of players will buy premium to get him) - if he was available for credits it would be a different story.
