I didn't just stop there, however. I really ran the numbers! This is the data on Health Changes (including Mods): The only concern I have is that the Umbral Vitality (when the entire set it equipped) doesn't seem to line up with the old values. Anyone's free to double-check my math on this one, but I think Umbral Vitality will have reduced effectiveness. Next up is the data on Shields: Shields are getting a big boost. I have calculations in there that consider the added damage reduction from 25% to 50%, which blows past all prior values. Now we move on to Armor data: Armor seems to be the most tame among the changes. The only noteworthy thing I saw was that a few frames are getting a big buff like Kullervo (probably the thick skin he's grown after everyone keeps getting his name wrong). As far as the Energy data goes: Garuda is the only one that seems to suffer when unmodded. Although the modding values are hit and miss (majority are deficits though). Funnily enough though Garuda's modded values more than make up for the unmodded disadvantage. And finally we have EHP stats: It's pretty much all positives except for the frames that already had a very high survivability value. I also calculated the ranking, but I realize that survivability is a lot more nuanced than just EHP. Still, I was happy to see my precious Mag and Mag Prime jump the rankings. And that's all! Enjoy the maths!
  2. Thanks for the update! I'm amazed that you manually transcribed all that data! A few inaccuracies are nothing compared to your syntactical precision. I was able to parse the data using regex! You've got literatim-level data-entry skills. I'll update my earlier post with your new details (after some sleep). Thanks again! Good points! I went with initially available mods because there's no Prime/Archon/Umbral version of Redirection, but you've got me curious now how things shake out with different values. I need to update my spreadsheet anyway with the updated data, so I'll run some different scenarios when I do.
  3. EDIT: THESE NUMBERS ARE OUTDATED! WILL RECALCULATE "TOMORROW" (TODAY AFTER I SLEEP) EDIT (x2): Did the recalc, but I'm going to put it in another post because the data is so huge and I did some changes.

And for a key on field names: I also calculated what I call "Naked EHP" (your EHP after your shields have been stripped) both with and without the three big mods. In that case Lavos was the only one losing "Naked EHP" when no mods were equipped, and Grendel was the only one losing "Naked EHP" when mods were equipped. But in conclusion, it's generally positive for all frames.
  4. The ask was: "What would make shields more valuable?" I believe I answered that. And like seriously even 100k shields would be gone in probably less than 10 seconds of tanking Steel Path enemies. It would take a whole squad of Mag's spamming Crush a full minute to get 10 seconds worth of tanking. But you might be right! I'd just like to see it rather than theorize about it. I'm sure in normal Star Chart it would be ridiculous.
  5. Shields would be more valuable (to me at least) with the following changes: No cap on Over-Shields Shields gain more damage reduction while moving Enemies drop shield-restore orbs Stagger, Hard Landings, and Knockdowns are less common when shields are up +15% energy efficiency when Shields are at max value
  6. Ya losing a Mod slot hurts. I'm a little excited about this because I use Mag(Prime), but a lot of my builds have low Ability Strength. I love using Polarize + Counter Pulse because it simultaneously CC's and restores shields, while only costing 30 energy with Fleeting Expertise. But it actually only restores 160 shields when Ability Strength is at 40%. That worked great with the Dragon Key trick, but I don't know how it's going to go now. I'll need to dedicate Mod space to Ability Strength now, so I'm basically losing a mod slot either way. In my case though at least I can get the strength I need to keep my playstyle through a combination of Arcanes and Archon Slots. The same can't be said for other players that use difference frames and builds. I can see this being a burden for some. Though I am looking forward to experimenting with 2.5 seconds of invulneratiliby.
  7. I think you're right. I've been dealing with Incarnons so much lately that I just intuitively thought that Archon Shards affected base values. But yeah I don't think anything changes. I play Mag so even one blue shard more than doubles my armor. With a TF I go from baseline 29.4% damage reduction to 53.8%. (With 5 it goes as high as 80.6% which makes Adaptability push it to the ridiculous level of 98.1%, but I like using the the other slots) So I love it! But I agree it's probably niche. The Attenuation changes shocked me as well. We just went past the 1-year anniversary of Archon Hunts three weeks ago.
  8. Won't the changes to Health/Armor/Shield/Energy Mods reduce the effectiveness of Archon Shards? EDIT - Actually wait... Archon Shards are additive aren't they? Never mind.
  9. (I'd say this looks terrible because I did it in MS Paint with a mouse, but I'm not about to claim I could have done any better with fancy equipment and software) Sheindlin (The Judge Warframe) Passive Immune to bleed status If weapons full ammo picked up as 25 health Ability 1 "Interruption" Sheindlin lets out a damaging bark that jams weapons and staggers enemies (cone shape attack) Enemies affected by Interrupt instantly revert to an unalerted status for the ability duration Ability 2 "Interrogation" Sheindlin redirects all enemy agro on to on target, either enemy or ally While target is in an unalerted status, target can be reduced to 2hp but not killed Ability 3 "Inspiration" Sheindlin reveals the truth to herself and allies. Those that have attacked her or allies in the last three seconds take back all their damage, healing and restoring shields. Enemies being interrogated count as an ally, and damage done to them is returned as well (even damage that would have gone past 2hp) Ability 4 "Inquisition" Sheindlin passes judgement on anyone having done wrong. Enemies who have attacked even once lose all their defenses. (Does not apply to Overguard) Using Interruption on a defenseless enemies kills them instantly without regard to their current HP Signature Range Weapon: Codifix (Book) Signature Melee Weapon: Gavel (Hammer)
  10. So I have this dumb habit whenever I'm trying to reverse engineer someone else's code. I hate third-party libraries. I get their purpose, and I know that there's really no difference between a 3PL and a builtin, but I don't feel like I've really built anything if I'm just slapping together other people's work. (And I know there's some hypocrisy there because the whatever language I program in is itself other people's work; it's like that quote from Carl Sagan: "If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.") But long story short, minGPT (while delightfully minimized) is using the Torch library, and I want my implementation to use only standard Python libraries. Only then will I feel like I actually understand GPT tech from the inside out. So now I'm looking at Torch and watching a bunch of math YouTube videos. And with that status update out of the way, it's time for Lotus Lines 931-940: "Just what 'data' does Cephalon Simaris want from the Sanctuary? What's the underlying goal of investigating combat effectiveness, specifically against Tenno and Warframes? The more I think about it, the less I trust him." "Whenever the Corpus complain about you raiding their lockers during Invasions, I tell them that you're making sure there are no Grineer hiding in the lockers. And they actually believe me! The Grineer don't, surprisingly. To them I just say: 'I thought you believe in the strong taking from the weak.' And they shut up." "Why don't have have a K-Drive Park in the Dojo? I know the Ventkids would love to have one. I'd also let you challenge me to a race once in a while..." "So you know that Garden room with all the sand? Take if from someone who learned the hard way: Don't bring your Kavat to that room." "The Mimics have a joke about romance: 'A Mimic tells her boyfriend that she is tired of waiting and she promises to be anything he desires as long as he marries her. He chose for her to be his ex-girlfriend.'" "Nice Arsenal, Tenno!" "I don't play the mother card often, but could you do me a favor and listen to me just this once? Don't talk to Varzia any more than you have to." "Sentients have a thing for shoulder pads. So when I decided to go against my own kind, I chose an outfit that was form-fitting around the shoulders." "You changed the colors in my room!? I love it! If I could hang this entire room on my food preservation cooler, I would." "Malice is probably the most frightening of all the Acolytes. The Tenno weaponry is simply too powerful now to pointed back at themselves."
  11. I put off ranking my Fortuna standing for a while because of this. I think I got them all through Ticker's Purchase Debt-Bonds that I'd just check on daily. It took months though so I wouldn't recommend this if you're in a hurry.
  12. Pakaku! You're a "first responder" this time! Interestingly, you're describing the Mag-scenario almost exactly. The #2-Held ability was only done in one cutscene, just to look flashy, and never done anywhere else. And it ALSO isn't as useful as people might have thought it should be. (I mean it probably would have been if they made it protect your from AoE attacks and status effects) So while your criticisms are valid, none of those reasons prevented this exact thing from happening the last time an ability was invented for a cutscene. I will not apologize for the Mag-centricity! But I am grateful for your support. (Mag is grateful too, she just doesn't have a mouth to say so) I'm embarrassed to admit this, but this happens to me from time to time (especially on Jupiter missions). If I run a bunch of tight-corridor missions and then suddenly jump into a spacious mission, I may take for granted how long I can actually glide. And there have definitely been times when I ran out of aim glide just a few meters away from the ledge I was aiming for. I really wish the air-slide attack was as useful as it was cool-looking. Then again, maybe it wouldn't look cool if it was actually useful...
  13. Speaking of the Jackal fight, the Parazon clearly has a grappling hook ability. Between fight phases, the Tenno pursues the fleeing Jackal using a rather lengthy tether attached to their Parazon. Back in the day there was a cutscene of Mag using her second ability in a manner not available in actual gameplay. The story goes that the community begged consistency, and was given Mag's #2(Held) ability as a result. It was a great occasion where artistic license intersected with consumer expectation. But if we are to take the Mag ability as a precedent, then shouldn't the Parazon have the same treatment? Shouldn't we be able to tether to and pull ourselves toward heavy enemies and stationary objects at least the same distance as the radius of the Jackal's first arena room? "We don't have the button-space for that!" I hear you saying, but wait! This could work... Available when the player is in air and has no remaining mid-air jumps Cross-Hairs must be aimed at wall, object, or heavy enemy 35 meters or less away (radius of Jackal's room) Parazon launches and pulls player toward target Heavy enemies are determined by whether or not they can be affected by Mag's Pull If hitting a lightweight enemy, the enemy will be pulled a short distance and the Parazon will snap back to you When hitting a wall/object, wall-latch or wall-jump become available at appropriate proximity When hitting a heavy enemy, can slide to turn it into a slide-kick with triple damage (a "headshot multiplier" of slide-kicks) So it wouldn't require any extra button mappings, just an added option when you're out of jumps. "We already have Valkyr's Rip Line!" I hear you now saying, but wait again! Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Valkyr user her Parazon like everyone else in the Jackal fight cutscene? Rip Line's lvl4 base range is 75 meters Mag's passive is an inferior Vacuum or Fetch. Clearly the existence of something similar does not mean anything significant. So as you can see, there is every reason in the world to add this already-canonical Parazon ability into the game itself. I believe you will see the correctness of my arguments and do the noble thing. I'm not asking you to live up to my expectations; I'm simply expecting that you will live up to very same standards you've already proven you strive toward time and time again. Thank you in advance for being awesome.
  14. I want to try it. Not the voice replication at this point, but I want to try writing a text-based AI to see what happens if I combine all of the Lotus' real lines with the 1000 lines I plan on finishing. I'm reading through minGPT's code as an educational starting point and once I get familiar with how it runs then I'll see what's been improved in the fork (nanoGPT). From there I'll either write one from scratch or tweak that existing code to work with my dataset. The determining factor will be how the training works. I assume AI training is set up as a generalist, but I'd like to have some control over the preferences beyond just feeding it more data; I don't have much data to work with so I might want to build some shortcuts that let me explicitly prioritize Lotus-like mannerisms. I wish I had some project at work that needs machine learning so I could use this as a skill-building project and get paid for it... But with that, it's time for more Lotus Lines! Let's go with 921-930: "You know, if Narmer focused more on their music and less on dictatorial brainwashing, then I bet they'd get a lot more followers! Their military operations are jank, but their soulful dirges are serious bangers." "Hey, roomie! Wanna watch something tonight? There's a new horror that just became streamable. It's called:... "I Know What You Did Last Summulyst" "Raknoidphobia" "The Faction" "The Void Relic" "Under the Exalted Shadow" "Do you think guys actually care about how jewelry and clothes? I just had this terrifying thought that maybe we've been putting all this effort into it and all we had to do all along was just laugh at their jokes or something. I'd be so ticked-off if it turns out they're not actually all that shallow." "I'm running an experiment that uses decaying Sawgaw eggs. I just wanted you to know in case you were wondering what that smell is. Also my chair hasn't been oiled in a while so it's been creaking when I sit down." "Teshin sure likes to pretend he's great at guiding you, but I don't see him giving you useful information during your missions. 'My name is Teshin! Honor! Blood!' How about telling the Tenno what their next objective is? Then at the end he's all proud! 'Good deaths, all.' You weren't any help, Teshin!" "The Orokin. They were so focused on never dying that it drove them to discover the Void. The Void pointed their attention to the distant Tau. The distance bore us, and the Tenno who rose against us. Finally, the battle-scarred Tenno killed the Orokin. So what began as a desire for eternity ultimately caused their death."
  15. Just thought of another Passive option that I'd like for Mag that still goes along with her current Vacuum theme: Loot dropped Crates/Enemies destroyed by Mag are automatically retrieved by all squad members in Affinity Range regardless of distance And before you go thinking that this would cause the Greedy Pull scandal all over again, The Inactivity Penalty would still behave just like normal, and the squad wouldn't automatically pick up redundant loot like from Desecrate.
  16. I'd be all for an Incarnon for Tigris! I'm a Mag main (only) and the Tigris (Prime/Sancti) have very good synergy with her. The only things that can live inside a Tigris-charged Death Bubble for more than a few seconds is a high level Steel Path enemy with immunity to Armor-Stripping (so like <1% of the enemies you're going to face). Something I love about the Tigris is it's double-tap fire mode, so I'd love to see the Incarnon preserve that. Maybe something like a two-stage attack: Stage 1 (Held-Down): A Magnetic Hit-Scan Grouping Attack Enemy hit will become magnetized and attract enemies within 6m Corpse retains attraction Lasts for 10 seconds Stage 2 (Released): Impact/Puncture Projectile Rail Gun Attack Fires a spike that will orbit a magnetized enemy if it passes within 3m Infinite Body Punch-Through, so it will become a meat grinder Lasts as long as the magnetization on the enemy it is orbiting But really anything I'd be game for. The Incarnon perks increase a weapon's base stats as well so I'd love it regardless of what the Incarnon Mode did.
  17. I'm on console so I haven't had any problems, but it looks like you'll need to wait for Xsolla to get back with you. (DE isn't going to be able to do anything about it even if they wanted to, and I'm sure they do want to because you're trying to give them money) Based on the Most Common Error Codes at Xsolla, 3032 has this to say: Error 3032 Sorry, the payment cannot be completed now.

If your payment processor or bank rejected purchases in the past then your account may be marked and you'll need to get it unlocked.
  18. Occasionally I wonder what a good length for Lotus lines should be I've decided for it to be one or two lines on my screen, but that's completely subjective. My resolution, the browser's zoom level, font size, and so on were all factors I didn't consider before making the two-lines rule. That said, I've been paying attention to other dialogue that is currently in Warframe. I'm pretty sure my two-lines rule is fine. And with that! Lotus Lines 911-920: "Okay I'll level with you, the real reason I want you to extract when The Grustrag Three show up has nothing to do with their threat level. They're just so mean to you! I don't want you to get your feelings hurt! Bullets may wound the body, but bullying wounds the heart." "One thing that has been difficult living at the Dojo is ordering food. Sometimes I get cravings. Then again, maybe that's how Ballas found me the last time..." "That's not how I remember that Warframe looking." ... "Huh? What do you mean you changed your 'skin!?' What does that mean!? Is that safe?" "I could have sworn there was a Warframe back in the Old War with the ability to go through walls, but we haven't seen anything like that again. If only I could remember more about her then maybe we could find her again..." "You like my pajamas? I'm not a fan of the silky, lacy fabrics; I like soft and warm. Eudico told me though: 'Well THERE is you problem, Lotus!' I pretended to laugh understandingly, but honestly I don't know why she said that." "Honey, I'm home! Oh, I forgot, I'm not married." "You're maxed out on energy utilization at the Dojo. I'm sure it's fine, of course! But if we had some extra energy, then maybe I could install something like a soft serve machine." "Cressa Tal does NOT understand Tenno. Imagine if instead she was like: 'Maybe this will change your mind.' And rather than a death squad, a cute baby Kubrow walked up and delivered a cupcake." "Where do you put all that loot you pick up during the missions? I mean I would understand if you were using Wisp or Hildryn, but..." "I would if I could, but I'm not able to make any deals that would let you support the Infested during Invasions. My negotiations go like this: I offer a deal, some Infested farts in the mic, they all start screaming like it's the funniest thing they've ever heard, and then they start eating each other."
  19. There are many times when I've wanted some extra mod space and wished I could put at least one of my Augments in the Exilus slot. Some Augments actually are Exilus mods like Repair Dispensary. It would be nice if all mods got the same treatment. Although, if we're speaking "same treatment" then augment mods themselves come under fire. Some Warframes have gotten full reworks while others get Augments. The common criticism is that it's not really an upgrade because it takes away a very valuable mod slot (which is not the case for frames that get enhanced by rework). It would be nice if Augments were just unlockable features that could be toggled on and off. Sort of like how you can find widgets that enhance your drill and scanner (those do not have an option to deactivate however). It still wouldn't be as good as a rework because it wouldn't come out of the box, but that wouldn't matter once you finally get them.
  20. I ended up getting to build/buy some more Mag Primes (I now have 4) and I didn't want them to go to waste, so I've been making Loadouts and Archon Shard specializations, trying to experiment with different play styles. And this diversification has got me thinking once again on Mag's only flaw: Her useless passive. (I'm sorry for saying you have a flaw, Mag) So I thought I should revisit this idea and take into account some Warframe news and future plans. (As well as add a few more Passive ideas) ALL elemental frames should have this by default. Mag's 2 redirects energy. That means she could strip the event horizon off of a black hole and make a naked singularity, rewriting reality itself. NO magnetic attack should have ANY effect on her. This still seems like the most sensible one. It would be very valuable for gathering resources and be a unique ability no other frame offers. I'd love this for Zariman missions and Ayatan farming. I don't think it would be OP to have at least one frame help with pickups since we have a few loot dup frames. This one is N/A now because it sounds like they're trying to implement this universally (probably to help with Mobile) This is basically an Arcane and would help with survivability especially early game when you don't have the energy to spam abilities. This would be an upgrade of Item#1, but I could see this being too hard for new players to understand. ("Why do some attacks give me energy?") Similar to an existing Mod so never mind about this one. I think this would be a great addition. Currently there's not much incentive to play Melee-Mag, but her Pull actually makes ground finishers possible. Maybe OP, but a strong toxin enemy can wipe Mag out very fast. I feel like this would complete her kit. I feel like if Mag were designed today then her Passive would be something like this. Okay now I want to add some more ideas for her Passive now that I've got to have some fun with other styles: Every 100 Overshield points add +0.1x Sprint Speed All abilities can be charged by holding before casting, increasing Ability Strength by +5% every second (this would get rid of her #2's hold ability) Natural vacuum starts at 8m but is affected by Ability Range and shared with Squad members in Affinity Range Sliding is frictionless and generates 1 energy/meter No limit to her OverShields Touching an enemy has a 50% chance of sticking current negative statuses to enemy, clearing them from Mag Mag gets an extra mid-air jump every time she casts an ability while in air Picking up shrapnel has a 0.1% chance of obtaining a rare resource Base armor scales with Ability Strength Every 1 point of Energy spent on Abilities adds +0.1x to next Primary Weapon attack (max 20x) I'd also like to point out that if DE uses one of these ideas then I will personally forgive them for putting an innocent goat under the Jackal.
  21. I saw an AI-generated narrator imitating the voice of David Attenborough and it was very convincing. I wonder how much data you need to convincingly simulate a voice through AI. I'm a programmer by trade, and I've even created websites (Django/Postgres on AWS). I've been thinking what my next project should be after I finish 1000 Lotus Lines, and after hearing the AI voice I couldn't help but wonder: "Wouldn't it be cool to just make the Lotus Lines a reality?" I'll look into the scope. The most I'd be willing to dedicate to this would be like $12 a year for maintaining a domain. I'm not sure if it's possible to run an interactive AI bot on free-tier web hosting services. I guess for legal reasons I'd also need to hire a voice-alike on Fiverr to generate Lotus-esque sound clips to feed into the AI; it would be ethically (and likely one day legally) wrong to use DE's actual sound data. I can already see the scope getting too large... ...But it would be cool... Anyway, I still need to get done with the 1000 Lotus Lines. So let's get back to it with 901-910: "If you ever get the Peculiar Growth Mod and a Riven Mod that reduces a weapon's attack to zero, then please let me know. There are some things I've been dying to try." "When you crack open a Relic, you get a temporary boost to your abilities. What's interesting is that these have very similar properties to the 'Decrees' you talk about. I guess since the basis of your power is rooted in the void, but I wonder if there's more to it than that." "I'm not good with high heels. You'd think I'd have lived long enough by now to learn how to walk in them, but something about the idea of rolling my ankle is so scary." "When I was young I believed in 'fated love;' the idea that your perfect soul mate is out there like a precious crystal for you to find. But you know what I learned after living multiple lifetimes? A crystal grows only when it's cultivated in the right conditions, and it will shatter if it's mistreated." "You may have read the description on several Prime Weapons and saw 'ceremonial' here and there. But contrary to common sense, that does NOT mean these weapons are less durable or sharp. Orokin 'ceremonies' were far more brutal than the day to day combat of our modern times." "Vandal weapons were made in my honor by a Corpus defector. Wraith weapons on the other hand were made by a Grineer defector, but not in my honor. It's a touchy subject for me." "Tenno shields better than Corpus shields in every way, and they hate it. If you ever see some Corpus at a bar, you can pretty much always rile them up into a fight by making a joke like: 'Oh! Sorry I bumped into you! I know it was a minor impact, but are your shields okay?'" "Corpus do no issue any toxin weapons to their troops as a rule. The reason? Well, they do issue radiation weapons, which have the potential danger of confusion and friendly fire. Last thing they want to do is have a confused ally aiming toxin back at themselves." "Unlike Grineer, Corpus make soldiers the 'old fashioned way.' I ran the numbers to see what it would take to produce a thousand male Corpus soldiers every day and... you're not old enough to hear the rest." "What I can't figure out is why the Elder Queen and the Worm Queen performed continuity into those hideous bodies. You've seen some of our allies during Rescue Missions, right? There are healthy, able-bodied people around. So why? It's just strange..."
  22. That would (at least to me) indicate that the website on the browser side isn't "checking in" with the server. I mean, it obviously does to an extent because an active session will notify you when interactions happen. But based on what you're saying it looks like it checks for additions to events without checking for subtractions from events. I think that's a good assessment. I can see that. Thanks! Kind of weird, but at least that's an answer. I guess it sort of makes sense, but I'd personally think it would be more informative to have threads open to everyone. The bug report sections on new releases like Duviri are platform-agnostic for that very reason. ...Actually now that I'm writing it out, I realize that the new releases are after Cross-Play, whereas the more classic bug report system was included in the forums before Cross-Play.
  23. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one experiencing website weirdness. I could see it being something like the website "forgets" to log me out and then shows me my notification info when I first get back on, and then as soon as I interact with that UI it's like: "Hey! Aren't you supposed to be logged out?" I was worried that it might be something like the site stores a session cookie on my client, and the server can use that session token for some API calls even after it's supposedly expired. But only when certain endpoints get called does the token's expiration date actually get evaluated and deleted on the server. (Because if that's the case, then someone could start to experiment with what endpoints are and are not locked by authentication and potentially find a way to query server data without requiring valid or traceable credentials)
