Welp, I thought it would play out like this ever since Nora specified that the infestation was mostly contained in episode 1.
SpoilerWith Arlo being an infested puppet used to circumvent the quarantine, signaling a change in tactics by the Infestation.
Cool stuff though regardless, hoping there’s another big twist coming.

Awesome, thanks for this post. It helped me approximate the rest of the Smiles from Juran verses.

It’s an obvious visual bug, not an intentional change.

Great that they’re back for those who want them.

I think the “something” you’re missing is that the updates are not catered towards your tastes specifically. If none of the currently offered content interests or engages you then there’s no need to force yourself to play.

That’s supposed to be the point. To encourage people to use lesser-used weapons.
I do agree that the mod itself could use some tweaks but I like the idea of rewarding highly skilled players with higher damage.

It depends on what you mean by “endgame”. From experience, 1000-2000 ice armor isn’t much at all at higher levels. Once enemies get to the 50s or so, that much armor will get stripped from you very quickly. Plus the average range on your build would hinder your ability to consistently get high ice armor numbers in the first place. I guess if the plan is to just constantly spam 4 to refresh your ice armor and stop enemies from shooting you then it might work out but I wouldn’t rely on Icy Avalanche for survival myself.
I suppose it comes down to preference and play-style in the end though. I personally prefer crowd-control focused builds when I’m fighting high level enemies.
EDIT: A 250% power strength, high range/duration Avalanche build for complete armor stripping can also work, though currently the freeze effect prevents new status effects from occurring on frozen enemies so it can be disruptive in uncoordinated groups. The reason I’m mentioning this is because the way the freeze effect works is being changed as per the thread linked below, making the build much less disruptive:

What if not all frames got prime but then got Umbra?
Not really a fan of that idea honestly, especially if the Umbras have the same gameplay traits as Excalibur Umbra. There are players who dislike the sentience passive for example, and if the only upgrade to their favorite frame was an Umbra that forced said sentience on them if they wanted better stats then that would be a rather crappy situation.
Plus then you would have a split in the community where people would want their frame to be either Umbra’d or Prime’d, with each release only satisfying one side at a time.
If the Umbra was in name/appearance only to fit with the lore or something then that’d be fine I guess.
-
If they’re going to release more Umbras, I’d prefer them to be sidegrades to Primes rather then upgrades. Why would I bother buying a Prime Access pack that’s going to be rendered obsolete later?
Also imo Frost should be the next Umbra, as he was the second Prime to release after Excalibur Prime and as such his visual design is quite dated. Literally a retexture with a slightly narrower neck and new helmet.

Prestige ranks just reward Nightwave cred. All the “awesome “ rewards are supposed to end at rank 30.

Did I just see and hear this correctly? My predictions were pretty close with the Umbra coming into the game play now. lol Curious how the story will unfold in the new Quest for the Echo Umbra.
The only thing you got sort of correct was “turning frames into Umbras” and even then it’s just giving the frame temporary sentience by injecting Umbra’s memories.
Also where did you get that there’s a upcoming story quest for the Echoes? The video only claims that the Echoes are a drop from the new Disruption nodes on Lua and the Kuva Fortress.
EDIT: Oof, didn’t realize this was an old thread.

Congrats on making it to the workshop!
Imo it’s a bit simple though. Everything seems fairly uniform and flat, whereas most Tenno items tend to contrast such sections with “peeks” at more detailed technological workings and emissives. For reference see the Nidina, Ceramica, or the unreleased Shinai armor set.
Good luck getting it in-game regardless.

its exclusive to female characters, wich i guess is nice for having something outside of body shape as a diffrance.
I agree tbh. Would love to see more details like this for other operator outfits to distinguish between the two visually.

The point about the island, is having things completely separate with no interaction. Railjacks do connect to the rest of the game, cause we still have our guns, our archwings, etc.
Plains of Eidolon/Orb Vallis lets us use our guns, archwings, and warframes too. But those two content updates are what Steve was using as an example for his “separate island” of content. He was claiming Railjack was different but it already looks like it has separate missions, resources, and progression.
Of course it’s not completed and there’s stuff they definitely haven’t shown yet so my worries could be unfounded. But until then all I have to go on is what I’ve seen.
10 hours ago, Miser_able said:As for the star chart, last I checked the plan was to have railjacks replace the current starchart.
Yeah, Steve tweeted as much but that was before they showed off the new gameplay at Tennocon. Plans can change, especially when it comes to DE.
I do hope they follow through on that though, would be neat to infiltrate a Capital ship from space to begin a regular mission like Exterminate or Spy.
-
Empyrean looked cool but I immediately started having doubts when Steve was like “Empyrean is the opposite of ‘leaving the island’, Empyrean is all about connections” and then they brought up a completely separate star chart to select unique missions from.

But if it's not too much trouble, mind giving a few sources if possible to the research on the hybrid pets? I've been really interested in them for some reason.
Sure thing.

As far as I can tell, time-limited Twitch drop cosmetics have yet to return past their original release.
The devs have stated that only Founder items are truly exclusive though, so there’s always a chance. I wouldn’t expect it to happen anytime soon though,

1: To say the least, hypothetically if I had one that could take more genetic imprints, could I make another of these creations?
Doesn’t look like it. It’s been a few years since the bug was fixed but a quick Google search seems to indicate that most won’t even show in the imprint selection menu, and the ones that do seem to result in regular animals.
57 minutes ago, xBinketx said:2: For the Mecha Set Mods, I haven't played around with them too much (as I'm still working on them), but what are the optimal usages for this?
Considering the full set requires you to utilize a Warframe and aura slot, it’s hard to say. From what I’ve seen, the set effect is quite strong but very clunky to use as picking out the marked target in a group can be difficult during regular Warframe gameplay.
Also from what I can tell, Mecha Pulse doesn’t seem to have a cap. I’ve seen some gimmicky builds where it’s used to boost Rhino’s Iron Skin and Nezha’s Warding Halo but I haven’t tested them myself.
57 minutes ago, xBinketx said:3: I was thinking bringing back to ability to freeze projectiles to a certain extent. So how many of you would actually use that augment/how many of you wouldn't mind that being added?
Doubt you’ll find a accurate number of potential usage here on the forums but there are definitely some die-hard Limbo fans that would love for that to be an augment considering how we already have several topics asking for a similar addition.
I personally wouldn’t mind as long as it only freezes the user’s projectiles.
57 minutes ago, xBinketx said:4: So my question is that is there a tool that is commonly used that I'm not aware of to create loadouts for previewing before applying them ingame?
Sadly none to my knowledge. Closest you’ll get is using combinations of the in-game arsenal and chat box link previews to approximate a look.

Now, when I see good if not god tier rolled Riven with 3,4,5 rolls (and I see quite a lot of them)...what am I doing wrong?
It comes down to luck.
I’ve had Rivens that had great stats within the first 5 re-rolls, and even a few that were amazing unveiled. On the flip-side. I’ve rolled some Rivens over 20 times without getting a better roll then when I started.

That’s something you’ll have to take up with Twitch, I doubt anyone here can actually unban you or even help with the issue.

Any word on that? I haven't heard of the trials coming back. Then again, everything is being drowned by the hype of railjack (and rightly so).
It was mentioned in several Devstreams, basically amounts to “we want them to come back, and have some team members brainstorming ideas”.

It’ll probably come back alongside the return of the Trials game mode, which supposedly the devs are working on bringing back.

Toss up between Hydroid and Wukong for me. Their Primes are much better looking.
Ugliest Prime would have to be Oberon Prime imo.
EDIT: Thinking about it, base Inaros is up there too tbh.
If you could change one thing in the game...

I’d change Exalted Blade/Umbra Blade to look more like the new Warframe opening rather then the current physical meat-sticks we’re stuck with.
