    Personal Favorite Or Best Melee Weapon ?

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by HalcyonH66

    For me Zorens were the first melee weapons I clicked with so they hold a special place in my heart.

     

     

    Dragon Niana= Maximum honor

     

     

    This.

     

    But seriously Dragon Nikana. From the first time I set eyes on this game I wanted a Katana so I could run around as my vision of a Future Samurai/Ninja. I just happen to be lucky that it's also the strongest melee weapon in the game.

     

    The Dakra's pretty good too though. It's like a fantasy dragonslaying knight sword :)

    I agree. It looks very cool, I instantly went OH GUNDAM. In terms of implementation it's all speculation at this point but It'll either be

     

    1) Some kind of rail shooter mission type or event that happens in certain levels (AKA cool the first 3 times you do it)

     

    2) An actual 6 axis space combat mission type (AKA actually a cool and refreshing addition but also will get samey after a while).

     

    Realistically, however, I'll probably log in, play it for a week or 2 and then get bored with the new mission type that it ends up being.

     

    After that it's back to the same old

    formaing weapons

    grinding them up

    grinding and crying to RNGesus for the new stance for my Dragon Nikana

    grinding and crying to RNGesus for the new T7 keys to get my Mirage Prime e.t.c.

     

    I think to actually excite me they'd have to announce updates making the base gameplay better like Stealth 2.0 and Parkour 2.0. Those base gameplay updates have the potential to add so much in making playing missions even with my buddies less of "Oh I need some Seraph Tears to make the new Illumia frame based on starlight, you up for some Archwing mission farming?"  And more of some "Hey you want to try and stealth all the way through a pluto sabotage with Boberon for FUN?"

     

    Also some kind of endgame. People who have gotten to MRank 17 have literally done everything. Are they meant to just sit in conclave? What if they don't like PVP? I mean I'm a "measly" Rank 9, I've hardly experienced half of the weapons and frames in the game but already I'm locked in the cycle of play an update for a bit, find out it's just farming kubrow eggs or oxium pr whatever to get a new Frame, Sentinel or whatever and then it's the choice of going back to normal mastery grinding, formaing weapons to grind even higher tier content or not playing.

    Did We Recover Mirage Or Are We Making A New One?

    She is tied to a quest! Not a boss which is just a gimmick to be honest... We are properly recovering the parts of the original mirage which has been dead for many years. She is probaly a conduit of mirage, her spirit may control the suit but inside the suit is hollow. This is just speculation and since i haven't player hidden messages i may be wrong.

    Unless Mono Tenno theory is correct despite the pointers otherwise.

    Haha thankfully no, though "coptering past" a speed-modded Loki remains relevant.  The fact that a coptering rhino with cumulative shields and health surpassing 1300-1500 can outpace a speed-modded loki with little more than 225 shields and 225 health does not make sense with me.  This speed disparity is one thing among possibly many (that I can't quite recall to mind...) that completely shatters the class differences between even the more extreme of Warframes, what with the tank/bruiser being able to at least keep pace or outpace the innately faster glass cannons or manipulators.  Nova and Loki come to mind, respectively.

     

    Whilst I know that the "class differences" amongst the Tenno is thin at best, it does exist to a degree, setting frames apart from one another and delegating basic roles that best fit each frame.  Without this uniqueness, there would be little need for a wide variety of frames.  And while I do support player creativity in modding a frame to maximize its effectiveness in its base roles or to create a new role with more limited effectiveness, coptering is an external aid/exploit that has little bearing on the frame using it, pushing a frame towards a role that it was never meant for.  In this way, heavier frames could and do potentially outperform other lighter frames whose roles have been taken over by a slower frame using an external speed boost.

     

    This external crutch of speedy coptering is partly why I think so many people still play regular Rhino and why the speed-boosting Arcane Vanguard helmet, while technically being a legitimate build component, has become such a hit as players realized the advantage of speed.  Its Prime has a base sprint speed rivaling that of midweights, a design decision I have yet to understand.

     

    Loki's purpose is not to be the fastest frame. Think about it. If you go to a high tier mission of any kind say a T3 or 4 void mission. That speed isn't going to help one bit in terms of evading fire. Loki survives through his invisibility and disarm. Secondly if you decided to zorencopter you would be faster than the Rhino just due to being able to run faster when you were on the ground. Thirdly how does that coptering Rhino decrease your enjoyment of the game? In Conclave I could definitely see a problem as it would make Zorens and Ichors the best melee weapons in terms of utility but the majority of people mostly play PvE and thus it doesn't harm you. Additionally it has been confirmed now as a game feature so if you dislike him being faster than you your only option is to do it yourself as he isn't abusing a bug anymore. FInally have you invested any time in becoming good at movement? I'm not saying this patronisingly or trying to be insulting. It is simply that I can keep up with and most of the time surpass people zorencoptering simply because

    1) I take the fastest possible route through the environment.

    2) They often get stuck on or overshoot their target. 

    I used to zorencopter a lot (I don't anymore cause I use my Dragon Nikana most of the time for the higher damage) and I cannot tell you how many times I got stuck on the top of doors because I was flying too fast and without any gravity pulling me down.

    Now what I do is slide>jump>crouch(so you get up and run for a split second to reset the slide jump) and then repeat. I find this method lets you move with zero stamina loss and because you're in contact with the ground more often than coptering, you can change direction and thus overall navigate the environment at at least the same speed if not faster.

    Well, it would be a billion times harder to farm Argon, which DE insists be used on everything nowadays... so no.

     

    This. Argon is already hard enough to farm in the void, that would make it even harder. If like someone said argon's relative droprate to now was kept the same and the other resources were spread through the current non argon drop rates maybe. To be honest since the void is so special and more difficult than equivalent normal missions I think it should probably drop more rare resources.

     

    Me too it's so hard to get cells I spent 7 hours yesterday getting 10 and trust me I went everywhere they dropped

     

    Best way I've found is doing Lephantis runs. Get a team together. You'll get from 0-3 each run. I've had one 3, two 2's and a 1. I'd say it's about as good as Tethys if not better.
