Yes , devs were just waiting to you to sugest such an inteligent and sophisticated plan ... nobody think that before .... Like 30 times in the past . I hope the day people just accept a simple "no" instead of invest so much time crying in the forum ...
we have the simple right to publicly represent a suggestion or opinion regardless.
public opinion is one very important factor when developing any kind of game, so its not like its going to stop either.
i am sorry that you take an opening attention-getting sentence so personally.

I also play FFXIV. This is a completely different beast however because its about the nature of the deal. FFXIV is a subscription-based MMO and doesn't have an xbox version. Even so, there is a up-front buy-in price (before even the subscription) which SE can basically just give all that money to the console maker (even xbox/Microsoft should they get a version in the future) but still retain the backend subscription. In this situation the consoles make at base the AAA game pricing model guaranteed (plus whatever else that might be in the deal like related to supporting updates and royality-like bonuses). I am pretty sure most all matters are done through SE's system (Mogstation) after that.
Now Warframe being a free to play means that the consoles are not guaranteed to make any money. The only monetization method is through the various micro transactions. Even under the limited cross-platform trading of just cosmetics from say Prime Access means that its possible to sidestep the monetization to a console by buying stuff on PC then moving it. The issue gets more complicated when you then can suggest that you buy something on ps4 then end up moving it to xbox or vice visa. The consoles have little reason to allow this because they are not getting any money from it. Then there are items that at tradable in the game already (like mods) that free exchange risks depressing the plat market by basically "money laundrying" tradable items to move from one console to another. Basically allowing freer movement adds uncertainty to revenue sources from the point of view of the consoles which is why they are disinclined to do it.
People might find some of these reasons silly (because it seems like a lot of work just to abuse a system but people can and will do it) but they none the less are part of the things thought of through these deals when they are made. It also doesn't help that DE (with the help of Sony/Microsoft update logistics) has pretty much shutdown the possibility that PC and console will ever share the same update at the same time which necessitates that each system have its own account instead of linking access to a single account. However your best bet at this time is likely to lobby for a some kind of "fee" for trading cross platform that can be waved in front of Sony/Microsoft as a form of severance monetization.
its why i mentioned in the same post that it needs to be on a much more smaller scale.
again, its not that i want my entire PS4 progress to be transferred to a new PC account. i care nothing about mastery rank or how many nodes i've unlocked. what i do care about is the exclusive items i've paid for that cannot be obtained ever again or cannot be obtained for a very long period of time.
if we are going for a method that will "garentee" console some amount of currency, then why not charge players with platinum per cross-platform trade?

What other games exactly? I can't think of many games that simply allow free movement of items between differing systems. Especially if those items are microtransactions. Microsoft is pushing the "play anywhere" thing lately but those generally are single-player experiences and not free to play models (as well as tending to be Microsoft exclusives). Then there are items that are system exclusive (aka founders vs jade and obsidian skins). Tennogen complicates things even more because PC have to go through steam with real money only while consoles only need to use plat. It also doesn't help that consoles are on a delayed timeline raising concerns of abuse of the system.
Another game I play time to time is Smite (free to play) by HiRez which is in the same boat as DE. I "transferred" my pc account to ps4 when the transfer beta window was open (really it was a copy that is now two separate accounts just like warframe). There is no way to take the progress I have on ps4 back to PC (skins, voices, etc) back to PC. Developers and the console developers have little to gain by doing anything when they can double dip.
While I'm not against the idea you propose but the status quo as it is now isn't in your favor and hasn't been for pretty much all of gaming.
Square Enix allowed me to share one account upon two platforms in Final Fantasy 14 online with one condition; that i pay for another copy of the game on PC like i did on PS4. this includes every expansion, and it all turned out very well. the game was performing much better on PC and the only thing i had to give up was around 50$.
in this case, warframe is free to play, so i cannot see DE charging players to simply transfer to another platform. however, as suggested, this is why platform transfer needs to be on a smaller scale: cross-platform trading.

I can agree with the idea that exclusive items that require payment outside of plat to be allowed to transfer to a different system, but the whole silence on their end aside from the obligatory "needing approval from Microsoft/Sony", is just nonsense.
considering that other games are doing the same thing, i honestly do not understand what console developers have against Digital Extremes specifically. this is the smallest suggestion i can think of, and if that is not enough, everything up till now in PS4 warframe has been pointless, including the exclusives i have paid for.
cross-platform trade is on the table, and i dont think i can think of something else without demanding too much.
-
you probably heard of this before. but i would like to be more reasonable than other topics.
to be specific, it is not that i want to transfer my entire PS4 warframe account along with its obtained items and currency. upon creating another PC account i can just respectively pay for as much as a regular current-gen game, and simply trade for all of that stuff. after all, i would not start another account if i where not so dedicated to this game.
however, i do care about exclusive items and cosmetics that are/where available for a short period(s) of time. i.e. primed pressure point, edo prime set, vaulted prime warframes, etc. i honestly do not care if there are other conditions for doing so, such as currency or resetting the item's level and forma slots.
so, if the developers can find a way to make an account transfer on this small of a scale, a cross-platform trading system if you will, that would be perfect.
that is literally all i can beg for on the smallest scale possible.

cant believe no one has thought of birds yet!!
you have land and sea creatures already in the game, but not air-themed?
tell you what, hit two birds with one stone and make a reptile-themed winged creature.
in fact, i dont think there are any bird type creatures in the entire game.

i remember a lot of players giving feedback about the AXI E1 drop chance.
basically, they say that the relic itself is insanely hard to get with chances getting the item at an all time low.
but i am not going to get into that. im just here to say that i have also been having trouble getting the relic, so i have just been farming syndicate points and spending them on relic offerings.
my main question is: has DE given a comment on the issue? have they taken action? is it just by default hard to get, or were the drop chances unintentional?
i am just making sure i have not missed anything.
thanks!

they are mostly good for large scale interception maps. just find a good spot where you can see all eight (two per objective) enemy capture consoles. your team will not need to worry about defending consoles so much.
however, you may only find a spot were you can see a limited amount of consoles, and there is a chance frost may be using his Snowglobe to slow enemies down, denying any long range fire from allies. there is also an time when enemies can shoot you meters away, and the fact that you will only receive affinity for your kills due to your distance from your allies. other issues include the orokin interception map that has too many walled off areas, and situations where your team may need you to revive them.

We can restore an archived topic, but reposting your concept is definitely preferred.
if we want a topic restored, what is the best way we can contact a person to do so?
for example, in a scenario where a topic is fairly popular but only for a short time. lets say the topic in question has over 100 +1's and a overall supporting audience. the original poster wants to keep his supporting audience while the theme of the topic is still valid to bring up again.
would this be a valid reason to request a topic restoration?
Bonus Concept: do not read if you are not interested...
sometimes topics that are popular and highly rated to boot often have a chance to be archived simply because no one has replied to it in a while and the original poster does not want to pose as a spammer.
what if there where a "Request Restoration" button on a highly rated topic only accessible once by the Original Poster. once clicked, a request to restore a once archived topic will be submitted to an available moderator. the moderator would look at the topic and judge if it is still a valid topic.
the topic must be highly rated and have the indication that it is indeed popular among the community (that beautiful white heart and blue ribbon). the topic is only accessible once by the original poster only.
i'm sorry, the idea just rushed through my head as i was posting.

earth has an actual clock - it switches every 4 hours 12,4,8 etc(I believe) between day and night - you may just be hitting it at the wrong time
ok then. that is good to know.
glad there is a legit reason.
but shouldn't they display the time zone in some way before more topics like this appear?
i would like to know exactly when earth transitions between night and day.
thanks for the info.

who misses the original Excalibur and his abilities?
you may think this is a simple concept to place the original Excalibur back in the game as a separate warframe, but it can be much more.
this concept is to add a MK1 Excalibur in the game with abilities similar to his original.
Abilities
SpoilerSlash
Slash will be similar to Excaliburs original slash dash, but it will not involve enhanced movement.
Slash will be a brief exalted blade strike with no damage drop.
Super Mobility
jump, double jump, and bullet jump are enhanced for a period of time. double jumping and bullet jumping will cause Excalibur to become briefly invisible.
Radial Blind
original
Blade Summon
similar to radial javelin, Excalibur summons multiple blades to surround him. the blades will target nearby enemies stunning them if they are not killed. imagine mesa's shooting gallery, except instead of jamming the enemy's gun, there is a blade that kills the target or stuns him if he is not killed.
Excalibur will also take less damage while the blades are summoned; the blades will block incoming projectiles and attacks.
Stats
Spoilerwith the additional abilities, especially blade summon, MK1 Excalibur will have different stats. MK1 Excalibur will have...
shield: 100
armor: 150
Health: 100
power: 100
as for obtaining the original Excalibur, i cant think of anything that everyone could agree with. i can think of a few, but i still do not know if everyone will agree with it. any other MK1 weapon is purchasable with in-game currency, but it is a warframe we are talking about. again, i wont suggest anything, as a majority may not agree with the concept.
for now, i guess that is just up to the devs.
so what do you guys think. do you miss the original Excalibur at all?

im still going to try and enter a day themed map on earth for the time being, ill update later if i eventually get it, or if it has not appeared at all. my total of missions will be 10 before i update. if a day themed map does not appear or has appeared during those 10 missions, ill update.
done with the 10 missions as i said.
i didn't complete the missions of course, it was just entering and aborting missions on earth just to see if the day time map would appear.
and...it did not.
0/10 times.
so yes, this could be a bug.
though this could be a very minimal bug, as i mentioned before, it does prevent me from getting the daylight threshcone ingredient which is a progression requirement for the Titania quest.
-
just now getting into the Titania quest, but unfortunately, i cannot acquire any sunlight threshcones.
the reason being is that the day map theme of earth seems to be not appearing no matter how many times i back out of and enter missions on earth.
i dont know if there is a valid reason why, but when i get a night theme on earth every time i enter a mission, there may be something wrong.
anyone else just now noticing this.

Retribution would probably work better if there was ever a level with just all Melee enemies. I like to think old Infested would've hated it vs. say, Rhino, but I didn't have it back then so I couldn't test it.
Also, Heavy Impact + Super Jump used to be the best slam jam Excalibur meta.
true, i can see the mod being used mostly for infested in order to stun them, but wouldnt you receive damage anyway?
ill test it cause, well, i have never used it. that is why i ask for feedback.
if heavy impact was used exclusively for Excalibur back then, then i so pose i should add it to the list anyway.

Now, it is entirely possible that i underestimate the willingness of people to spend their time crawling on the floor but i think it is used only as a joke.
i understand that this would mostly be used for Inaros. it could also be used by new players or low ranked warframes that know they will go down most of the round, but the cost is way to high and on par with other defensive based mods that could prevent the player from going into a bleed-out state. if anything, this should have been an Inaros augment, which isnt a bad idea IMO.

Jump to get -20% dmg... (lvl 50 bombardier laughing at you). I don´t even use that on zephyr indeed it´s not needed even for her since she can move fast on the air is very difficult to get hits.
Also i know i had mention it but worth the effort to say again.... Mesa needs to be able to do that for herself without mods.
ive never played mesa, so i have no opinion on any of her augments.
as for aviator, i can only see the mod being use exclusively for warframes that can remain air born such as zephyr. should have either been an augment with more effects, or have just more effects in general, cause i believe the player would also need a considerable amount of aiming skill while air born.

come to think of it, what enemies have radiation effects? the corpus?
i feel as if the mod is only their to fill a gap: if there has to be a poison, heat, cold resistance mods, there gotta be a radiation resistance mod.
perhaps only useful for void traps. i will consider adding it to the list.
-
so what do you guys think about Retribution and Heavy Impact?
would you rely on these mods for highly ranked missions?

Least used? Elemental resist mods, or Warm Coat.
as i said before, i disagree that elemental resistance mods are least used.
however, i do agree that among these elemental resistance mods, Warm coat is the one. players cannot predict weather or not they will show up on a frozen based map that would effect their shields.

Pretty funny how some of the non meta mods can be actually quite useful on higher level missions. ;)
they truly are.
just like toxic resistance against the infested. most players dont realize that the mod exists and they question why they have suddenly died a lot during high ranked infested missions.

and co say hi.
i use this a lot.
the mod helps with going against grineer since they mostly result to Napalms, Scorches, and crazy cat ladies during high ranked missions.

I see your ammo drum and raise you
as i mentioned before, these mods do not count because they are obviously worse than their relative mods.

Primed Chamber.
actually, i use this mod a lot with my Vectis, and Vectis prime
adding "depleted reload" to the Vectis prime would decrees its magazine, but give it a boost in reload speed.

i would like to conduct a list indicating what mods are being used the least. not because they are inferior compared to other relative mods (for example, jagged edge would obviously be worse than buzz kill), but because they presume to have less value over others.
for example, reference, and my own opinion, the lease used mods to me is Natural Talent and Reflection. i have rarely used these mods for highly rank missions and have only used them for testing reasons. Reflection is too weak against high rank missions and only benefits through status, such as stunning the enemy. Natural Talent only works for the few abilities it can effect and these abilities are barely worth effecting for a mod slot.
so, i would like to know what other mods in the game are rarely used so that the developers can alter them in some way so that they are effective in their own special way. not that they do already, but however effective they can be could prove to be underwhelming compared to even more effective alternatives.
thank you for visiting this discussion, and i do hope that i as well as other players may collect some valuable data.
as a bonus request, i would like the developers to create some kind of chart as they did a few devstreams ago indicating which missions where played the least.
be sure to bold the mods mentioned in the comments.
mod list from comments
- Ammo Maximum Mods
- Physique
- Warm Coat
- Intruder
- Vile Precision
- Provoked
- Diamond Skin
- Aviator
- single stat weapon mods
Platform Account Transfer: a much smaller scale.
