  1. Ah, I remember this. There was a time this was a common bug in the void.

    What you see is a different section of level geometry intersecting. Have a look at the minimap. The level generator failed to predict a collision here and placed the room.

    Edit: the worst was when you were in void sabotage, looking for the hidden caches... and then you find one in a position such that the intersecting geometry would not let you reach it.

  2. In the foundry I want to sort by number of blueprints.

    Alternatively, I would like a blueprints category in inventory (where I can already sort by how many I have, but I cannot restrict the list to blueprints).

    Why? I am trying to figure out what to sell for grofit, and I want to sell stuff of certain scarcity.

  5. I am not talking about cetus, but the other cycle.

    I want to suggest to set a cycle that does not divide the day evenly.

    If I am not mistaken, the cycle is 4 hours long. Which means, it devides the day virtually* evenly. This means that if I login at the same time every day, I find the same time of the day, futhermore if my schedule does not allow me to wait for the next cycle I may be stuck finding Earth on day or on night for many days.

    Why is this relevant? Well, this is an obstacle to complete the Titania quest. Yeah, I have already done that, I am speaking for a clan member.

    Sure, weekends, except, sometimes there are resons to do something different other than play online.

    Thus, I want to suggest to change the 4 hours cycle to something that would result in finding sometimes day and sometimes night. This can be easily accomplished by making it half hour shorter: 3h 30m.

    Alternatively, it could be made to match Cetus. So, you know, we would have a single Earth day/night cycle.

  6. People that have relics that has parts of vaulted prime content remain usable, still work, and may still yield the vaulted content. However you will not be able to get more of these relics... unless the prime vault is open - for a limited time - and these or similar relics become available. Thus, if you run out of these relics (and are unable to acquire more from other players) you might still have a chance to get some when the prime vault is opened again. Of course, trading parts and bleuprint with other player is also a viable option.

    As you can see, this means that as time goes by, these relics and these parts become more scarse, and we can expect their market price to go up. Thus, if you want to get lot of platinum, you can stock on the gear that is about to go to the prime vault next, wait a few months, and sell at a higher price. Doing this enough times, you should be able to coast any vaulted gear you want by purchasing from other player... or perhaps the prime vault is opened again before you get there.

  7. When did they promise umbra frames? Last thing I remember from DE, is Steve saying that they left the door open for more umbra (source: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/308489820). Why? Because they want to explore the lore of the origins of each warframe more deeply, and of course, you should never design to cut off all your options. Thus, we could expect DE to be interested in more quest lines that explore umbra frames...

    However, that does not mean we should always get an umbra frame from the quests.

    The idea you mention of a hard to grind item that will make a warframe work like an umbra seems to be what most people in the community want.

    Now, how do we reconcile both of these things? Simple: the quest should give the item to make a warframe work like umbra, only for the warframe associated with the quest. That way, they can make quests that focus in the history of specific frames, and we have a hard to get item to makes a warframe work like umbra. Making it only for a specific warframe instead of making it for any warframes is good! If they don't do it that way, two weeks after they release it, virtually every warframe will be umbra-like (except those of new players, of course).

    • Very slight metallic uninterrupted voice (not a fan as well but if it removes the distortions I will prefer it).

    Yes

    hace 23 minutos, Gofretko dijo:
    •  Slight re-modulation so the voice sounds slightly different, and again, please let it be not interrupted by distortions! This is probably the cheapest option in my non-informed opinion, but it sounds legit to me to process all voice-overs with software that slightly shifts frequencies. Sorry if that's horribly naive and things don't work that way.

    Yes

    •  Ability to use another narrator altogether. A huge topic in itself but I will limit myself to saying that I would be paying platinum so I can choose between Teshin, Darvo, Ordis and I don't know, maybe some people would like Maroo? (I personally find her abhorrent but that's how subjective tastes work so I just won't ever pick her, no big deal). If I had the budget I would also include Simaris, Suda, Palladino, or maybe just all syndicate leaders. I am aware this is a ton of work but you have to understand there is a no small amount of people out there who gladly pay for customization. It's not an effort that is doomed to get DE broke; people will use the feature and will pay even if it's like 150p.

    No.

    Not because it being expensive in money for DE, it should not be. But becaue it is extra download. Sure, it could be possible to make it so that only those who opt-in download it, however that is a technology yet to be developed by DE. How do I know they do not have this technology? Because new clan emblems need to deployed in updates. If they do not have the technology for the warframe client to download clan emblems on demand, allowing for them to be changed and deployed on anytime, then they do not have the technology for downloading voice packs on demand. It makes sense this was once an april fools joke.

    They mess up enemy spawns

    Then let the system ignore inactive players and stop spawning on them.

    I understand that enemies spawing on them is "good" because they would kill the innactive player. However, if that is at the cost of less enemies spawning where active players are, I do not want that.

    Yeah, they can use a software that move them around... in that case they are not inactive from the game perspective. So, in that case, let the system spawn enemies on them (as it should) and they will kill them (as they should)*. And now they dead, and you carry on.

    *: I suppose they could have some survivability with specters and pets. And this is useful if you are going to the bathroom or something. However, there can be a timer to disable those too.

    En 30/7/2018 a las 7:16, -Signs- dijo:

    they get you killed

    The only way I see this happen, is when you divert your attention to revive them*. Simple: if a player is innactive, show that to the other players. That way, they can make an educated decision to let that player die or not.

    *: Do you have another example?

    I suppose not showing that the player is downed is viable. However, I might want to revive a known player if I know the circustances of innactivity... besides I do not want this to open the chance for a (another) bug of the notification not showing.

    En 30/7/2018 a las 7:16, -Signs- dijo:

    they.. leech

    No, they don't. Players do not get rewards while innactive, that is already in the game. And even if they did, they would not diminish your rewards.

    ---

    No kick vote, and thus no opportunity to troll kick. No ganging on somebody.

    On an hypotetical kick vote, rewards would be a discussion. And I would be on the side of the player being kick keeping rewards up to where they were active (as if they had extracted), if extraction was available. Note: In your example of a 10 minute surviva sortie at 9:95, extraction was not avaible.

    Yet, I am not against an innacitve warning. I have to tell people that if they stay innactive they will get no rewards... often after they cowardly hide in some corner because the mission is going to long for them, but nobody else wants to extract. Addendum: Can I get you interested in the problem of solo extraction in survival? We can leave a defense mission at defined intervals, but not on defense. If we could, perhaps there would be less leechers.

    ---

    I have one particular extra request, however: let a boss spawn when all active players are present. I was in the situation where lephantis won't spawn because a clan mate fell sleep. I would have prefered lephantis to have spawned - and if he got awake while we were fighting, good let him join us - but if we did finish the battle and he was still innactive, let us finish the mission, and give him no reward. I admit we tried to get enemies to him, hoping with him dead lephantis would spawn. However, he was on a safe spot (the spawn area), and enemies did not follow us there (darn infested are not the best at jumping).

    Yes, we could abort, and reform the squad, and that is what we did. However, we had got some good drop, we didn't want to lose. Yet, I understand this is a minor problem.

  10. Everyone? No. However, Ok, I will go with that.

    So, The lotus is gone, she is a sentient, we can send kubrows to the lotus. Is the sentient doing something with kubrows? Revenant is sentient afflicted. Warframes are created with the helminth strand of the infestation, and we can do that to kubrows (errata: well, we can infuse the DNA of an egg, right?).

    Viable? @Pizzarugi

  11. @Pizzarugi

    Spoiler

    Gotta love your respect of spoilers... aren't we meant to discover that in the new quest?
    I am talking of kubrows that has been taken by sentient, the would be sentient afflicted too.

    Addendum: Revenant is aesthetically based on the sentient, you can read it like that.

  12. Kubrows are the easier to get, Kavat are harder... I want something even harder: A sentient based pet.

    Spoiler

    Lore wise it seems viable given that the upcoming - at the time of writing - warframe is sentient based...

    Also, we send kubrows to the lotus... we still can do that, even when she is gone... what is sentient doing with the them? o.o - Let us go rescue some of them from the hands of the sentient.

     

  13. I agree on all of it.

    I have justified that invasion don't need explanation because they are for resources you need to craft dojo blueprint (and thust the clan mates can explain it), however, there are reactors and other things in invasion that clanless player might want.

    For anecdotic evidence that invasion need some introduction to new players: I recently had the experience of a player laughing that I didn't get what I wanted from repeating the invasion. I got it, just some hours later.

    But speaking of Ordis' fragments, you should put a hint into the game itself that they are there. Maybe when you complete a fragment and return to your ship, Ordis could chime in happily that you have completed a new fragment and then immediately demand that you destroy it or not look at it in your codex. Just to let people know that maybe they should be looking at it in their codex so they can discover the triangulation minigame for the hidden message.

     

    This reminds me of something, I once met a player that refused to scan ordis fragments because he was convinced they were something for cephalon suda, and that was not his syndicate.

  14. The way you slice them might not be the best...

    For Onslaught, you want to kill and kill a lot fast. Thus, if you want to chuckle this to stealth, I would suggest Octavia, as she can also become invisible but has high range AOE damage. On the other hand, for a spy mission killing is not paramount... ivara would serve you well here, in particular with her augment to bypass lasers. However, spy missions aren't really about stealth, they are about by passing obstacles... Loki works great here because you can use the decoy and teleport. On the same vein, Nova works well here, because you can bypass most obstacles by well placed portals.

    For defending an stationary target, Frost is king. Excavation and mobile defense are the realm of Frost, here the victory condition is in defending for enough time (and picking batteries). Yet, Limbo is also great.

    Note: In defense your objective in defense is not to defend, it is to kill waves (that is, the defense target is part of a failure condition not a victory condition). You want to kill them before they can destroy the target.

    For hijack, as GunMan113 mentions, high shields or no shield. Yeah, nidus works. And so does Inaros. Nidus does by virtue of regeneration, Inaros by virtue of having a large health pool. The same works for shields... you can pick a frame that has lot of shields, or one that can regenerate them (mag, volt, trinity...).

    Defection: Trinity. Addendum: Loza03 is right, Limbo works great.

    Rescue: Your objetive is not to protect the rescue target, it is to get to extraction. Do it fast: Volt.

    Interception as a high damage? No, no, no, no... the less you kill the easier they are. I suggest Limbo. Errata: I was thinking of a whole team, I guess high damage makes sense if you want to solo. However, in that case I would suggest a high range and duration Frost. Otherwise, see below.

    Alrigh, high damage (also good for Onslaught and Defense): go Saryn!

    Ah, you don't mention them, but for sortie defense you want to kill and to heal... and you cannot  - efectively - use defensive abilities. My suggestion is to use Valkyr, and revive when the defense target is down. Addendum: I want to pick arena out, because it has only a few very strong enemies and little energy. You will probably be better with a tank here. Either a hard tank like Rhino or - as I would prefer - a soft tank like Inaros.

  15. First of all, DE knows, this has been brought up many times.

    Game mechanics

    While I would agree that most of the passive abilities are not great (nyx in particular)... However, I would rather them be something unique for each frame that something you can build for. Also, I would prefer the passive to be original, not just the passive of another frame but with element changed.

    If you want to be inmune to fire you can build for that, same for cold or toxin.

    Now, Ember is empowered by flames. Her passive gives her an ability strength buff when she takes damage procs... is that not good?

    You say Frost uses cold as armor... does he? Look at the "snow globe", I have to tell you, that is not how ice works. Ice is not a thin layer that be penetrated only by one side (unless you are an ally of the caster). I have to say, that is not ice.

    Lore wise

    Not much has gone into explaining all of the warframe powers (some have some level of explanation). However, as far as ember having flames on her head, you are looking at the prime version. This is orokin technology, fueled by the void. Science fiction handwaving.

    There is some lore about the void and how it works, there things are still left unanswered and there are spoilers, I will not go into that.

    Now... let us talk volt. The lore - currently - is that he can harness and create electricity. If any, this is the one that would make more sense to be inmune. We have been wanting for this description to be changed, since it does not reflect the reality of the frame.

    ---

    As I said, you can build inmunity, that is not a good passive. I prefer what Volt has. And the ember prime helmet is the most "on your face" of the bunch, any body would know at a glance that fire is not bad for the frame, so... I guess it makes sense to give that passive to her and not volt. Just because less people would complain about volt than about ember.

    We do not know how volt works... using electricity to speed up things (including other warframes) is something that in our reality we can't do (unless we are talking about electric motors), and using electricity to make thin floating one-way shield is beyond our comprehension.

    Spoiler

    Warframes are not fully electromechanic, if at all

    Yet, both batteries and capacitors can be overpowered, and they will blow up. So, you can damage electric things with electricity.

    In particular electronics... Make sure your computer is connected via a regulator with grounding.

    ---

    Not mentioned but... mag is not inmune to magnetic. She isn't a magnet either. In all honesty, for something to exert magnetic force must have a charge, and if something has manetic charge, it can be affected by magnetic forces... so there.

    Addendum: Negative range in mele is bad? Don't use it. We are still waiting on the lore about how mods were created and how they work.
