GalatinePrime Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 1. Bring back quick attacks 2. Fix the slow spin for polearms/staff (cannot function/very unbearable to use) 3. Only left click should switch to guns. Constant zooming while melee aim-glide is annoying. Thats all I ask since you changed melee. Don't pull an Aatrox.

There is a fine line between a clever strategy and an unintended exploit, when you can skip the entire first phase of a boss fight thats an exploit. Oh yes, nova and octavia dealing dmg in area with their abilities is an exploit now... instead of stripping game mechanics for boss fights to make them "difficult" DE should try and make the fights interesting, removing what's probably the biggest aspect of the game and the thing that a lot of players enjoy the most doesn't make things hard it makes them bland and boring.

This was not some attempt at smiting players for being "better" than they expected. I'd say you are right in that it's not an exploit but it was clearly an oversight.

There are lots of aspects to the game besides warframe powers, if bosses could be affected by any ability they would be made even more trival than they can already be made via min maxing weapons. The exploiter orb was actually a step in the right direction by making you have to do something other than just shoot at it or spam abilities. I do think that some abilities should have some effect on bosses but it's a balancing between making it too easy/hard and making it fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bosses are trivial because they are designed to be sub-par MMO bosses. This is what "killed" world of warcraft/made 80% of the playerbase abandon it. We need bosses that challenge us to discover new tactics, not simply doing one menial task over and over again while waiting for timers to run down.

Sure it was, but stripping you from your warframe abiities is not the way to go, nor is it making the fight longer for no reason, instead of having to throw 2 thermia per vent so then you can shoot it they could have made it just 1 per vent because that's not difficult, is tedious, on the second phase the orb can climb up the mountains nearby making it to so that you can't even see the coolant raknoids, let alone getting to them before they cool her down and all the thermia you used up to that point means nothing, making the raknoids completely invulnerable to warframe abilities is also dumb, they could have made them like the index enemies and have the time they are cc'd halved or straight up cap warframe abilities on them so that at least the payer feels like their warframe means something.

Warframe powers are way too powerful to be able to affect bosses in their normal way, now if certain powers could trigger unique mechanics with the boss that would be ideal.

Well it wasn't a complete skip since you still had to deal with the HARDSHIP BUILDS CHARACTER miniphase. Now i do understand where you are coming from but the fight wasn't well designed and that's really the core of the problem here: DE are not good at making bosses and we were having fun thanks to an oversight that was actually a logical sequence of events and now it's just a chore and for what you think of it, we are not enjoying it and we will give the feedback. Many people in this thread (not saying you are one of them) seem to think that you can only give feedback when you like something and that is simply not true. Especially not when so many people are unable to even do the fight after the "fix" due to the amount of bugs breaking the fight. This was nothing but a kick in the nuts.

Hypocryptadius Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I've wasted hours today getting stuck at infinite loading door after 1st exploiter phase. i think i managed only like 2-3 runs without that problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do too but i also hate stages that are long because developers want them to be, the phase one is mostly introductory why do we have to spend 5+ minutes on it each time? halve the canisters needed for the boring introductory fight that's mostly dialogue, that's why people were skipping it, is a time sensitive event and having to spend time in the fight doing nothing is just boring, that's not mentioning numerous other issues, like the fact that you can lose your team after doing the phase 1 because p2p is what it is and there can be many issues that DE can't completely address because of it.

Scissorsmith Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Still waiting for Limbo rift to get fixed. You know. The thing his every single skill depends upon. Right now all it does in orb fights/fissure closing is stop you from killing enemies, but not enemies from killing you. I thought warframe skills were supposed to help you fight, not the opposite. Right now it is simply a detriment with basically no upsides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazZzard Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 First of all: thanks for the exploiter fights. I like it. It's fun and the cutscenes are also a very nice idea.

One vent at a time! Quoting myself here to shed some light on this hot topic that is currently being discussed within this thread. To be blunt, this is an exploit. The team here worked for months on creating a different kind of boss fight from the norm, and it was never intended for players to completely bypass phases of the Exploiter Orb. Going fast is fun, we totally get it. But going fast shouldn't sacrifice the hard work that has been made, or the proper intentions of phases/mechanics. Another large part of this feedback is also the continued Matchmaking issues for the Exploiter Orb, that sometimes result in an inability to continue the fight. These Matchmaking issues are our current top priority to resolve ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the results of "months of hard work" is a simple "pick up rock, throw rock" fight then maybe it wasn't "hard work" going on. Or was it the work to put in a spidermob that was released with fortuna last year and it took weeks to write a line that makes it spawn a thousand times? There's nothing out of the norm with a boss that relies on spawning more adds than you can count to provide a "challenge" And you already made it clear that your top priority is not to fix matchmaking issues or you would rollback the hotfix until you could fix the hotfix. Maybe focus less on what you can sell for plat (finisher animation packs? really?) and focus more on what the game has to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
