Latron, Latron Prime, Latron Wraith, Sybaris, Tyberon... All of these weapons deserve a magazine capacity increase. A serious one.
And, it seems there is also an issue with the multishot stats that aren't really applied correctly (Abnormal low damage).
Judging entirely by real life standards, 15 rounds seems a bit underwhelming for a semi-auto battle rifle. An M14 or FAL, the closest analog to a Latron, typically holds 20 rounds in the commonly available magazine. The Grinlok's magazine size would not be unreasonable in real life at all, actually rather typical for a lever gun, but the Grinlok doesn't appear to feed from a traditional magazine, as the reload is very unique. The Sybaris is a strange gun so I would have nothing to compare it to. Maybe a faster reload would be a better solution for some of these weapons.

Totally agree.
I agree too but there seems to be an attempt lately to "clean up" Region. Extremely over the top or harassing content I can understand, but keep in mind that most are not being mean spirited and it is all in good fun. The hiding of kick messages seems unnecessary and someone told me he was given a stern message by a chat mod for asking a general question about a quest too many times (apparently since no one wanted to help him). I'm not sure what is going on, but I only go there to chat and joke around with other players when I am bored/waiting on something.

Please be more clear as to what you're actually linking. Your title is misleading and your lack of detail in the topic only makes it worse. Not to mention, this is in Weapons Feedback. Not in concept art.
To be more clear: You're making everyone think there's a new weapon coming.
I'm not sure how the OP implied that. Just from reading the title it sounded like a weapon suggestion and nothing more. A little more detail wouldn't hurt though.

Except they won't come back unless you want DE to get sued by many, many founders.
Isn't it funny how people on here always parrot "you have no rights under the ToS/EULA/whatever" to anyone who complains about getting ripped off or mistreated, and then you say stuff like this? Maybe you're not serious or just hopeful that they won't pull a fast one. DE most likely will never bring back the founders package, but honestly, what's the worst that would happen if they did? I played a cruel joke on Region chat a long time ago by suggesting that it would be an Xbox One exclusive given away for free. You would be surprised how many people fell for that.

DE, allow us to change triggers in some of the weapons. It would not be possible to change it in all weapons because it would be sily but something like soma with burst of 5 bullets or Tiberon in semi-auto. I would enjoy having Sybaris with duplex auto - very cool trigger but only Tigris has it, shame. It could be done very easly and triggers could be changed in mods or aperance menu. This should not allow any weapon that did not had auto to have one but it would allow vaiety in some weapons. Another example: Latron woth burst 3 trigger.
This gives me a horrifying throwback to Call of Duty: Black Ops II. Seriously, the Select Fire attachment on the FAL was OP on that game until it was nerfed to hell. The Latron Prime would be a very similar situation. It's my favorite weapon, but it should remain semi-auto only.
-
Ok, so before I start I'm going to state a few things: Don't reply to this unless you have something CONSTRUCTIVE to add on. It doesn't have to agree with my opinion, but it shouldn't be blatant flame or whining. Another thing, this is going to be a rant of sorts so if that isn't your thing you may leave now.
So Semi-Auto fire rate. For some weapons like Ak-Magnus this allowed us to ignore the terrible damage output because we were firing 40 rounds per second. Now semi-automatic weapons are capped at a fire rate of around 15-16. Why is this a bad thing? It renders all fire rate mods useless as they only improve the fire rate of some weapons by 1-2 now. While I agree that this was meant in the best way from DE to stop us from having near fully-automatic fire rates on semi-auto weapons it makes a lot of them useless. I have a 5 forma Ak-Magnus that used to be able to go up to level 100 in the void before becoming useless simply because of its sheer dps. Now I can barely reach 40 before it becomes completely useless. This isn't another one of those threads along the lines of 'They broke my favorite weapon, nerf all other weapons to the ground so it will be good again'. If they are going to take away fire rate, add some damage to compensate.
Another weapon that is hugely effected by this is Burston Prime. While I personally don't have this weapon it was pointed out by a user on the Warframe Reddit (Link here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Warframe/comments/31u41t/semiauto_nerf_making_mods_useless/). Gilded Truth (The augment mod from Arbiters of Hexis for Burston Prime) gives 80% fire rate bonus. This becomes useless now with this fire rate nerf as Burston Prime has a base of 25(http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Burston_Prime) fire rate. Already at base it is firing below what its stats are. This gilded truth mod which would improve the fire rate to 45% (Or if you use Warframe builder from 8.57 to 10.25). This is fairly useless because of the fire rate cap. Still not believing this had a huge impact on semi-autos?
Take other dual pistols for example. Telos Akbolto, Ak-vasto, Ak-jagara, all have slightly below average damage with the exception of Telos Ak-bolto. These weapons because they depend on high fire rate to make their small damage per shot output acceptable. Now because of the fire rate cap they are mostly under-preforming weapons.
But you may ask one question, 'Why does this bother you so much?'. It bothers me because I don't have the option of weapon type A, B and C anymore, I just have A, and B (A and B being the top tier weapons, C being the mid tier weapons that are fun to play with).
So now the suggested solution. Rather than limiting fire rate and making your own mods useless make the weapons have a slightly lower base fire rate. In addition, to compensate for this add a few points of damage on. 12 damage per shot is great as long as I'm firing 40 shots/second.
If you made it this far from honestly reading all of this, Thank you. If you just skipped through it and are posting a snarky reply, I would advise you to re-read the post before you make yourself look stupid.
To be honest, I could care less because the Latron Prime does best with a crit/damage build and no firerate mods. I don't see why a nerf to semi-auto weapons is necessary however.

It seems to me that semi-auto rifles are desperately needed on Warframe. Of the three semi-auto rifles available (excluding sniper rifles of course) only one is currently available to new players. Since some categories of weapons seem over-represented (beam weapons and akimbo machine pistols), I would really get excited to see more single-shot rifles. A similar idea, a bolt-action rifle in the standard rifle category (without a scope) could make an interesting alternative to the Grinlok. I'm happy with my Latron Prime, but it's still upsetting that the weapon has been removed and it will likely be difficult to obtain in the future. One of my favorite pastimes was sharing survival keys with new players and helping them farm the Latron parts.

To turn off sniper scopes, here's a step-by-step guide.
1) Go to your arsenal
2) Select "Primary"
3) Equip a non-sniper weapon
4) Congratulations, you now don't have a sniper scope!
+1 upboated for epic sarcasm and hilarious insults.
I think the sniper scopes should have the option of being disabled. The Vectis in particular has a scope that I hate. Unfortunately there may be a balance reason why the scopes can't be disabled. That being said, I find other options like the Latron Prime leaving me with few reasons (other than mastery) to ever even touch a sniper rifle.

Perhaps you are right , l hope you are.
I think making another thread to protest the move of this one probably attracted a lot of negative attention to this particular thread, which means that someone probably has their eyes on locking this thread as we speak. The snarky comment the mod left when closing your complaint thread is evidence of this. You really don't have anything to gain from bringing the forum mods in this thread, since they are unable to do anything to help you, and basically all they can do is lock or delete this if they think it is getting out of hand. There is less flaming and action here, so the thread is less likely to be flamed and trolled into oblivion. You want the devs to fix this problem, so be happy it was moved.
-
Insulting me and and name calling in general doesn't really help your argument, you know.
You trying to bait me still makes you a troll. Does not matter anyways they have buried this topic.
I see that both of you don't care about actually helping anyone. White knights and contrarians are both unhelpful. The only thing we can hope is that the devs see this and fix the problem.
Devs are much more active in feedback forums than they are in GD. You're probably more likely to get seen by a dev here than in GD.
Absolutely true. You see a lot of filler and casual stuff in the General Discussion section, so the actual devs probably don't read it. If you want to actually have something fixed, it's a lot better off being moved here. You are also a lot less likely to attract white knights and trolls here since this is a more serious subforum.
-
This thread is a rule violation so it will probably get deleted too.
It is definitely pointless because the mods always move threads, so it really isn't a big deal, but as far as I can tell no rules are being broken.
It was moved to the proper section. Learn where to post.
How are you helping anyone by posting arrogant comments such as "Learn where to post."?
I do think forum moderators move things just for the sake of it, only skim reading stuff, or they misinterpret the thread and move it wrongly. At least once a day I see someone throw a fit at one of them for wrongly moving a thread.
Being moved to any section besides Extras or General Discussion is a death sentence, because not many people check the other sections. Sometimes, I deliberately post in General Discussion, when I know it could go somewhere else, just because if I don't post in GD, the topic gets ignored.
I do agree though, Dendra armour is massively misleading, the market advert bares absolutely no resemblance to the real thing, at all.
I agree, the mods move a lot of threads and they probably don't read each one top to bottom before deciding where to put it. It can always be moved again, maybe you could PM a mod if you really feel it is a bad idea to have it in Art/Animation feedback.

Wrote this post https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/286134-misleading-in-store-ad-for-dendra-armour/page-4#entry3282623 that was marked as hot in the General Discussion and the topic was about DE's Misleading In-Store Ad For Dendra Armour. It was moved/buried to Art & Animation.
I don't know, the section that it moved to did seem legitimate, but it did have the side effect of placing your post where no one will see it. There's no way to tell if this was done in good faith or not, so it honestly seems pointless asking since this thread will just probably be deleted.
-
I think it is wrong that you moved this post, it has nothing to do with Art & Animation, it is about a misleading featured ad in the store , and it seems like you are burying this post.
Actually, I am far from being a DE white knight, but the move seems appropriate because it does have to do with the way the icon is drawn. This is still unfortunate, however, because people may miss this thread and buy the armor without trying it on.
give the white knights..spoke too soon got a reply as i'm typing this.
Give em about 15 minutes to charge in.
I hope they don't start shouting about the EULA again. That gives DE certain rights and limits some of ours, but doesn't mean we can't question certain decisions or things that we believe are misleading or unfair. Generally DE handles constructive criticism and feedback as gracefully as any other developer that I can think of, but there are a lot of wannabe moderators and white knights who try to impose their own rules on what discussion is acceptable, going beyond those that are actually imposed by the real moderators and staff. During the DDOS, a person was criticizing DE's handling of the situation as unsatisfactory compared to other game developers, and said "#FreeSpeech" or something like that in his post. That set off a flurry of angry replies stating that the OP should just shut up, since he has no free speech on these forums. The white knights predictably turned up the flames until a mod had to lock the thread.
-
Which is where the basis of my theory of just refunding his plat and an apology would be a good course of action..rather than support saying "go talk to the forums" where people will throw EULA's in his face, because we're obviously enlisted as arbiters for DE.
Exactly, just because you don't HAVE to do something doesn't mean you are not allowed to. Instead of screaming "NO, NO NO!" and pointing to the EULA, suggest what would be the best solution, or suggest how we can avoid this problem in the future. Case in point, Steam's policy clearly states "NO REFUNDS", but if you legitimately have an issue with a purchase, they will often give you a one time refund as a gesture of customer service. They didn't give me one when I begged for a refund after buying Call of Duty: Ghosts (which I actually like now), but if there was a serious mistake or mix up on their end, or the developer's, they will almost always give refunds.
-
DE EULA is most likley completely legit, but your blanket statment stating that EULAs are legaly binding is false. Many companies fill their EULAs with content that would not hold up in court.
This is often true, the terms have to be legally recognized and permitted under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction. For example, Apple's restriction on jailbreaking its devices was struck down the U.S. Copyright Office. Also, certain terms are forbidden in certain states, this makes it a difficult mess to pursue someone who does violate the EULA badly enough to instigate legal action. This makes it difficult to enforce the EULA against you, but you can't force DE to do anything. Some of the more contentious terms might not hold up, but I doubt you could force DE to give you a refund. I'm not claiming that they owe you anything, but it would be nice if they did us a favor by updating the picture eventually.

*sigh*
This thread again.
https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/28-open-beta-agreement-read-me/
Read number 4.
You have no entitlement to anything.
Yes, I agree that they should change the image, but that does not mean you deserve a refund.
Why are you waving the EULA in his face? Getting nasty and defensive isn't a helpful attitude. He is not threatening to sue DE for a refund, or anything else for crying out loud, there is no stipulation in the EULA that he isn't allowed to complain if he doesn't like his purchase. I think the picture should be updated to better reflect what it actually looks like. I also think that it would be nice if there was a trial mode where you could try weapons and other items, like a training course of sorts. Other games have this feature and it avoids a lot of frustration. I know this feature already exists somewhat for cosmetic items but it would be very helpful to those unsure about which to purchase, and it might even increase plat spending, so it should be a no brainer.

Well you know, minus the secondary arms and eyes / teeth. I even did mine up all silvery to match his description.
Oberon TOTALLY doesn't look like the NC rocket launcher from PlanetSide 2. Not even a passing resemblance.

It's not. Servers get attacked all the time.
I believe the angry response is due to the fact that we have had hundreds of uninformed threads like this over the past couple days, and people are starting to get tired of them. And as for this DDoS lasting a long time, did you ever play Tribes: Ascend? Some of their servers got taken down for almost three weeks one time.
How exactly is the OP uninformed? Do you know something that the rest of us don't? None of us know a thing about this DDOS yet. If DE knows something, then they should do the community a favor and share it with us so we can quit throwing blame around at people who don't deserve it. Another thing which may be possible is that account and credit card information has been compromised as a result of this hack, and DE doesn't want potential legal action because the EULA likely cannot protect them from this, see what happened to Sony in 2011 for example. The main thing I am getting tired of is this server outage. The second thing I am getting tired of is the suck ups who think everything is perfect, and all threads critical of DE need to be locked immediately. Sure, no one is guaranteed "freedom of speech" on the internet, but what's wrong with voluntarily asking others to respect it as part of a discussion? Tribes: Ascend is a crappy game anyway and I hope DE will handle this better than they did.
-
I tried to come up with a clever response, but I couldn't. That's how dumb this thread is.
There is quite a bit of truth here, a simple DDOS attack usually lasts a day tops on most games and websites before it is fixed. In extreme cases, they can last a few days, but I don't think it is still going on. There are obviously server issues that need fixed, and I don't think DE is giving us the full story, maybe because they don't even know what is going on yet. The Region chat still throws blame at one alliance, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't them at this point. Running a DDOS for almost 4 days straight is very time-consuming and difficult, if the servers keep going up and down something else is to blame. I don't think the person that started this thread was angry enough to justify some of the replies I have seen. The angry reactions to hearing the term "freedom of speech" make me wonder how it could have acquired such a negative connotation. I thought freedom of speech was a good thing?
-
KillerBub, you are making a lot of forum regulars angry with your post, and I don't understand exactly why. I agree that the redtext is not helpful most of the time, especially when there are serious server issues, and the immature reaction from most of the players by flooding the Region chat for 5 minutes straight with things like "I LOVE YOU REDTEXT" and "REDTEXT IS LOVE, REDTEXT IS LIFE" is not helpful either. While you are OBVIOUSLY not guaranteed freedom of speech on these forums, I can't believe you would anger so many people by simply mentioning it as a basic concept. I have been skeptical of this being only a DDOS from the beginning, and it seems that some people, both in and outside the game, are getting away with naming and shaming a certain clan/alliance because it serves as a useful distraction from what the real problems are. I think there are serious server integrity issues that will eventually be fixed, but it will take DE a while to repair and upgrade the current servers. Until that happens, the admins will lock threads and discussion will be limited on this topic. I also hear a lot of anger directed at PWE (who has done nothing wrong so far), but at least their game Blacklight is still working and it's not too bad. I guess I'll play that game until this mess gets sorted out, hopefully soon.

I can now confirm that this is a bug because it was happening to ME when I was attacking Hieracon, Pluto. I was getting angry because I destroyed a Rhino's iron skin and he still wasn't taking damage, but then I realized that I too was invincible. I assume that certain players thought that I was hacking as well.
-
Huh, so there is a bug? o.O
There probably is. Also, does Reflex Guard block from behind? I was shooting this person in the back with my Latron and nothing happened. There was no movement on the health/shield bar either. Just a bunch of zeroes. There were no other players nearby that could be blessing them either.
-
I can confirm i'm hitting random zero damage on the Conclaves as well.
I haven't had this issue on Conclave yet. A lot of people are worried about the power of Mirage + Penta, but at least that can be countered. What are we supposed to do about invincible players? I was told to submit a ticket, but I don't want players that are just glitched or exploiting legitimate mods to get banned for "hacking".
-
NO DAMAGE at all showed up, No damage numbers. Just zeros all around.. No matter melee or shooting.
This is exactly what was happening. I asked one of the affected players afterwards and he/she claimed to have no idea what was happening. When this person was playing as an attacker, he/she was taking damage and dying just like everyone else. I am no longer seriously convinced that anyone is hacking, but this is the worst Dark Sector glitch yet. These players were all alone, they were not being buffed or using any of their abilities. I don't think they had all their mods at this point anyway, it was about midway through the assault.
Gun Sounds Are A Let Down.
in Sound
Posted
The Latron Prime really does it for me. It's just a space pistol type sound. Compared to the regular Latron which is a quiet gun sound, it's not even that good. A larger caliber rifle should be LOUD! Some of the weapons sound like you would expect though, in either realistic or Hollywood foley artist terms.
