There was no ETA. They did say something about it in the last life stream. It resulted in.. You guessed it!
Soon

I vote Vern Troyer to do the voice acting for shade! Buahahha!

So the matchmaker has a tendancy of throwing me into some laggy matches. Nothing i can do about it so I just play through them. This last match was incredibly laggy. I had to stand ontop of objects for 3-5 seconds before I'd get the message saying what I had picked up. Items would fall out of lockers, but float in mid air. Enemies would take damage from shots but wouldn't react.
So even after I ignore all this crap, the REAL problem with this really laggy game is extraction. We hit the point. Game goes into the "loading" screen after the session has ended. I get a 'Disconnected from host" message. ( I forget exactly what the msg is). And thats where it all stops. The loading screen never goes away. I never get to the results page. I just get to stare at that Excalibur and the names of my squad in the bottom right corner. I've waited up to 10 minutes before and nothing changes. The game hangs and never moves on. I have to alt tab & kill the game, then relaunch. This happens OFTEN when I am in a match that is as laggy as I have explained. Othertimes the typical disconnected message box pops up (when host dumps the party) when the mission screen & results pop up.
This is incredibly annoying, would love to see this done away with.
Thanks.

I feel close to the same as OP. I went Master simply for Skana Prime + plat for color pack, slots & orakin. Have held back from Many other purchases because I didn't want to limit the life of the game for myself.
You DO miss out on Bonus rewards (and I believe bonus XP if you don't complete). Just the other day I was in an alert. 2 people with rushes mods took off w data package. Didn't kill but maybe 5 enemies the entire run. I was holding killing everything in my path as was the last guy. Didn't realize the others had rushed until we heard the obj complete msg. So I started to hustle but didnt want to leave that dude behind. I waited maybe 30 seconds hoping dude would get the hint to skip enemies. When he didnt I started running for extraction. Then the timer pops up. Dude dies, I get slowed by a few enemies @ door ways (out of Stam & energy so no kick or smoke bomb). Get moving - elevator. Crap. By the time it arrives & I hit the button to go down, it was too late. Doors closed & timer was up. I got screwed on a 9k alert. I had a chat w one of the guys. He said it was too laggy so he didnt want to try fighting anything. I pointed out that it would have been considerate to atleast give us a moment to catch up before activating the timer. Instead the two of them screwed the two of us. I totally understand not catering to one extreme or the other.
Anyways before I continue on that soapbox... I had a theory which may be a "fix" for all. It does require host migration work properly.
When 2 or more hit the end the timer ticks down. Anybody who is NOT at extraction will get an option to leave. Choose to leave & you miss out on bonus credits, all the same as now. Choose to continue and your left behind, tasked to find an alternate extraction. If one hits the extraction before the other, a timer will pop up - 2 or 3 minutes to count down this time. Gives ya plenty of time to hit 2nd extraction.

Lol I thought I noticed in issue with rate to fire the other day. Typically I would spam the mouse button as fast as I possibly could and nothing was far away without a problem. The other day I noticed it was jamming up, kinda. So I threw a fire rate mod into the mix and I haven't had an issue since. Akbolto are pretty damn impressive, and from what I've seen there is no reason to have a fully auto dual is still in place of these.

Ack! Deja vu! It's like I'm pouring my morning coffee while looking out the kitchen window just to catch my dog in the act of pooping!!!

Well written post. Using those gifs really help show what your talking about over a screen shot. I wouldn't think these are glitches or bugs, but rather there is only one animation recorded for each ability (and of course some abilities sharing those animations). So when ability is activated, said animation executes - regardless of what your current action is. Some abilities are locked from activating when jumping/ sliding whatever, but when they aren't you open yourself up to some funky transitions. Maybe somebody can chime in on whether DE will be expanding on the ability animations. That'd be nice. Most the time I don't notice it, or I just ignore it.
The bit about having to aim with fireball is true for Ash's shuriken. I typically ADS, then activate it when I'm attacking at any range. Same as Frost. Otherwise ya miss & waste energy.
I never noticed the white light coming from the top right corner.. Just that when using mind control & tele bolts with my Nyx, I'm go blind. I just assumed her abilities were the culprit.

That is exactly the case when purchasing a weapon/warframe. Comes super charges & with its own slot - so you don't use any of your currently available. Was a fancy surprise when I made my first buy - Stay Frosty Bundle. 3 excellent weapons and a warframe, all supercharged & no worries about my lack of extra weapon slots!

Trinity looks like she wears adult diapers & depends on them far too much, exceeding their maximum weight capacity & lifetime lol. No, I got it... Trinity is was happens when Disney animators got high on acid & began designing a new character for "The Little Mermaidm #17: The Scuuuurrrry Gothic Sea!!!!" She's their main villain, "Evil Queen Lobsterilla". An evil vampiric lobster! Inspiration brought to you byVampire Diaries! Lmao
Ok on a more serious note - I built Trinity. Played her to Rank 3.. Can't get passed that ugly tail! As soon as Ash finished building, I supercharged and refocused! Eventually ill rush her to 30 and put hat WF to rest same as some others I found less enjoyable.

It's ok. We will accept your apology for prematurely *@##$ing about a system thinking its something it is not. This game is AS GOOD as many full-release big name titles. I can see how you would not think it were freshly into open beta.
With that said, alerts bring more random fun. They're extra, ontop go the standard missions. They pay better and sometimes you get a sweet bonus prize. Again, they're extra. No need for removal. I totally look forward to the real "end game".

Great suggestion to improve on a sometimes frustrating system. Would help a lot when I'm helping friends farm specific mats. "Oh this is ferrite, not alloy plates. Don't bother". Rather than " uhh.. Stupid thing won't stop telling me about ammo..... Not sure which resource this is so come back over here" (especially when your he fast frame w rush/stam, hitting the off-path rooms.)

So I've been helping a buddy work on banshee for he last week with a heavy emphasis on this weekend. He got the first part from Venus right away. Then no amount of farming Xini (2hrs at a time), killikin, or any of the other suggested locations (save the Pluto defense) gave any success. Finally today as he was giving up we ran Merrow - I want to start farming for Saryn. First run - Saryn Helmet BP. Second run - Saryn Chassis BP. Teases him jokingly a little, then he said he wanted to go back to Xini. We ran a couple runs then I had to take off for a couple hrs. I get back & he tells me he got the Banshee Hrlmet BP @ Xini wave 5. So he's all excited again. Well he's mid-game so I hop into Merrow - success! Saryn Systems BP. All I needed was control module. Hit the hyena. First run Loki Helmet BP. Second run Loki Chassis BP + 1x control module. Clearly the RNG Gods are happy w me right now as they are vomiting BPs at me.
So we decide to farm the next "best" mission for final Bamshee @ Gaia, per suggestion from Wiki. 1 run & Success! So he's stoked, finally started his banshee build after all this time. I've got a fresh frame in the works as well. Will be cool to see how these two frames perform side by side.
Oh - so to answer your question in regards to BP & Rare material, your just having terrible luck. Hopefully it changes soon! (However Saryn came FAR too easily. I expected 10+ runs to get all 3 BP.)

Before I got my first artifact, I thought that's where your/your team mates profile/avatar would show w/ name. I figured it was jußt blank cause either ir hasn't even put in place yet or I/others hadn't figured out how to set the pic. Still a good place so we can see who is actually in our party/what frames! If we can't get them sitting in a group that is lol
-
DE has mentioned they're working on enhancing chat functions. I just hope its coming soon :) I'm sure they just threw the most basic functions in to allow some form of communication and they had no intention of leaving something like this in for too long. So, dont' despair! Its coming! However giving them feature suggestions is never a bad thing (since we don't know what they do & don't have planned)

Its not just 'When your up against a wall" happens when other people/enemies run up behind you, doors close behind you, etc. Can get frustrating for sure when the camera won't stop bouncing around while your tryin to take headshots. Would be a nice quick-fix. Swapping camera perspective is more for preference anyway. The left horn on the Loki's helmet isn't shorter than the right..

So Since the last patch or two (when fixed the jump/kick/jump/kick exploit), I've noticed I have had a lot of issues with jumping. Its kinda frustrating since I do a lot of flying kick-melee attacks into groups of enemies and when you attempt to do that, but instead fall face first into a roll, thats just an utter failure.
What I've noticed is it seems to increase w/ host lag issues. So missions where items slowly float down from the boxes, takes a half second to acknowledge that you actually collected loot and what not, jump failures increase. It also seems that if I hold the spacebar down for a longer duration rather than my typical quick-tap, it'll acknowledge that i'm trying to jump.
Currently I'm playing a low level Ash frame and ranking up an Amphis. I haven't installed a Rush mod, maybe my issue has something to do with having less momentum because of this. However Ash is a quick frame already, so I wouldn't expect that to be the issue.
Anyways, if anybody has suggestions to tell me what I'm doing wrong, great. Otherwise, can we get this looked into? My super slick response frame doesn't feel so super, slick, or responsive when I have to hold the spacebar down and his jumps are delayed or utter failures.
Thanks

I like this. Nice & clean. However I'd like to see a more organic implementation of health status then a name over some bodies head to ID them. Maybe like a blue flicker when taking shield damage (on impact), then a red flicker when receiving actual health damage. Maybe as their health loss is more severe the red becomes deeper/darker or the flicker is more prominent.

2. Tape down
Lol did you really suggest we tape down a key on our keyboard? Rofl! I prefer to take better care of my equiptment then to do that. Duct tape doesn't fix everything!
On a side note - if it were a simple UI toggle rather than the added effect of losing control of your frame, it'd be easier to program a key to set as toggle on/off when pressed, if you have a programmable keyboard. May even be able to do it natively thru windows. They used to have a sticky key feature - not sure if its still there or not tho. Haven't accidentally activated it in years.
Also Lotus covering team info... Especially when she won't shut up.. Lol
-
I think some type of thermal imaging would be great. Maybe tie it into shield capacity. Then it'd be up to the player to balance it's benefit to its detriment of use. Beautiful thing is - recharge & shield capacity mods already exist.

-> Hackers will now be banned!
LOL! Who the hell hacks in this game? Srsly! What good does it do to have an aimbot or wallhack??
-> Mod changes
Thank you SOOOO Much! About to log in to see how this works out. Hopefully when clicking [MODS] button within your frame/weapon, it only displays mods that are compatible with that weapon. If not - There's my suggestion! Lotta good pages of pistol mods do when I'm looking to quickly fuse my melee mods!
Thanks for the patch!

How I see it...
Larz - Hey, anybody building a WF app? That'd be cool! It'd have cool stuff like.. stuff!
Shadow - Uhh hey derper theres already an app for stuff! Ever hear of STEAMMMMMMM??????
Larz - Yeah, Steam does cool stuff but this app could do cool stuff specific to the game we're talking about!
Shadow - But steam does ALL KINDS OF COOL STUFF ALREADY! DURR! Why should anybody waste their time!
Larz - Because the cool stuff Steam does isn't focused around the cool stuff I'm talkin about??

So ya. I've got Steam. I've got the Steam app. I use Steam to launch my games. I use the Steam app.... never. Along w/ Warframe, I play Planetside 2. I'm in an outfit of ~ 750 players. Guess how I found them? Not Steam. Of that, roughly 60 are in our Teamspeak server, daily. Of that about 10 of us have split off and been tearing it up in Warframe regularly. Guess how many of those very same people, who I chat with daily, are on my Steam friends list? 2. Yup. Thats right. 2. We even have a Steam group, nobody uses it. We have our own outfit website - Its used much more frequently.
With that said, I'll point out Planetside 2 released an impressive app. It offers in-game outfit voice chat, tho our outfit uses Teamspeak. It offers your friends list and all that goodness. However, it goes beyond just that - To which I believe Larz was trying to get at. It offers information on the maps & territory control, weapons, weapon stats, vehicles, vehicle stats, character stats, killboards. It also offers all your own personal stats & info. Why would Sony waste their precious time building such a useless app when everybody could simply use Steam as a contacts manager..... How illogical and unreasonable!
A Warframe app could be pretty handy. Just think.
View detailed information on Warframes and their abilities, Boss stats and info, weapon stats, detailed information on mods. View your own statistics, incl Mastery/ WF Ranks/ Weapon Ranks and progress to next rank. Pull up blueprints and see what the build requirements are. Oh but theres a Wiki for that... right? Imagine the possibilities of loging in and being able to do some management. Along with contact list you could have access to clan/global/regional/council chat. Play with the color scheme on your Warframe/weapon. Manage & equip mods. Get notified/view Alerts. View player profiles.
There are all kinds of possibilities that can be opened up by an official app. Not to say that it'll happen. However continuing to argue with somebody who even tried to put it to rest and claim their illogical

If this were Planetside 2, COD, BF, or any other competitive PvP style game where other people using hacks directly effects my gameplay in a negative way, I might be concerned. My first reaction upon reading the OP was 'GOOD! Let em get nailed! Hard!", but then I remembered I was on Warframe forums, not PS2! So with that, there is still competitiveness - Such as "Who gets more kills". I could see where THAT could ruin somebodies game - but it wouldn't ruin mine. When I think of "hacks" I invision wall-hacks, aim bots, wall-clips, etc.
Now as Des posted, this crap could also fall unto people looking to gain free Plats, Credits, or unlock warframes/weapons without having to work towards them. That doesn't really give them any advantage over me (or others) so I don't care so much about it. Honestly, they're hurting themselves more than anybody else. By using cheat codes to unlock all the content, they leave Nothing for themselves to work towards and enjoy. I wouldn't even say they're "Cheating" DE by this as the type of person to use some type of cheat to bypass spending $$ on platinum wouldn't spend money on platinum in the first place.
So ya, I still feel Karma is having its way with anybody who attempts to cheat. I am just less concerned about it in Warframe. Its kind of a non-issue right now. Unless we get a real reason to be competitive against one another atleast..

Wait, so you were in a mission where you could 1-shot everything & not gain any XP (Wondering why you were there at this point) - And yet you died? Then you Revenge on them for not reviving you fast.
Eh, sounds more like you got busted being a troll and are attempting to backpedal. If the lag was that bad, then just quit the mission or help them get to the end so its over -- Activating the elevator just before the reach it does exactly opposite. Just appologize for bein a jerk and be over with it. Don't make excuses or defend your reasons. Too easy to see thru it.

I'm looking forward to the update against rushers. Very frustrating when somebody joins - barely helps out with the boss, then rushes past all enemies to extraction. I finally decided - 1300 Credits < Mods/Mats received from clearing out the rooms as I cruise to extraction.
Had this happen yesterday. Had one of our squad mates just standing there like he went AFK. Not attacking, not using powers, not even moving. Then Somebody (dont know who) bolted for extraction. Timer ran out on me while I was slowly clearing my path of enemies. At the end of the match I saw we had 2 same-name players, one using a ZERO in place of an "O". Thought to myself "I wonder if thats why the guy was standing there. Possibly the player was dualboxing, which would bypass the anti-rusher changes.
Rng Vs. Tokens (Vote!)
in General Discussion

3. Mix it up. Haven't read past 1st page but here's what I'm imagining.
Standard RNG. I farmed for Rhino prob 30+ before I got final BP. (As oppse to Saryn - 3 fights. Got lucky). 7 Rhino Helm, 7 Rhino Chassis. I think it'd be sweet if I could take 5 of those BP & it gives me a Rhino Token. 5 Rhino Tokens lets me purchase 1 Rhino BP of my choice. So you have extra tokens now? 5 Rhino Tokens (for this example) could result in 1 Generic Token. 5 Generic Tokens convert to 1 specific Token. 1BP could be sold as a generic bit. 10 bits = 1 generic token. This way you can still convert your extra BPs into tokens without needing multiple of 5. Also farming a simple boss for BP will not be easier/faster abiding token converting, than farming actual boss & getting actual BP drop.
I see little problem with current RNG, other than those few times when it really hates you. Honestly, most the time I find myself farming alloy plate, then a boss for BPs.
