Aenris Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 YES, WE NEED THIS. Trinity would greatly benefit of not being locked in position every time she cast. I'd say that skills that makes you go into a complete stop should be revised too. Not all, but some could use the extra mobility The Rhino stomp in particular looks amazing. The Link from Trinity could use a bit of a change in the animation deparment: her legs look kinda like standing in the air with that cast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabbynaru Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Yo, can you do it the other way too? Like, casting while walking? Cause seeing that Trinity animation reminded me why I use Loki's invisibility and Mirage's Hall of Mirrors only while in the air, cause using them on the ground stops my movement. Still, great idea! Love that Rhino Stomp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pro3Display Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 rhino stomp divebombing you to cast it only took like what? four years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teridax68 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Yes please. Removing air cast restrictions from all abilities I think could do a world of good. Ultimately, I'd like abilities to have as few animation locks as possible, but this already could be a giant leap in the right direction imo. As someone who plays a ton of Trinity, I'm super excited at the prospect of being able to cast Link just like in the clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir.X Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Only suggestion I have for this is Rhino Stomp. Have it increase in range and damage the higher your up. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWasteOfAName Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Maybe some skills get different treatment dependant on when you cast it on the ground or in the air? Example: Oberon's hallowed ground can shoot a projectile that spreads hallowed ground on contact with a surface if you cast it in the air? Since i don't really see Oberon just wooshing to the ground to cast it or just summoning it from 50 feet up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xzorn Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 This is a great change, many frames will enjoy the more fluid feel. This certainly gives a lil bump to Natural Talent. I imagine that's going to be an interesting interaction for some frames. I'm curious if changes to ability range math will be made. Isn't it a cylinder currently?

Wolfglaive Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I've never had a problem with air-cast restrictions for things that made sense, only ones that didn't quite feel like they did (Stomp and Link are perfect examples, respectively). I'm an avid Rhino user, especially because of his Stomp, so if I need to use it I'm either on the ground or wall-latched and it's near reflexive for me. That being said, I'm not going to be bothered if it gets additional use-cases or effects (Heavy Impact passive buffing Stomp somehow when it would otherwise be triggered by the fall?). Other abilities getting similar treatments to either given example where applicable seems like a nice addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The animation you showed here, almost looks like he's teleporting to the ground, which is a little jarring. Kinda the same with Trinity here, since her feet are totally flat and it looks like she's standing on nothing. But I like the idea! Just needs some fleshing out. I agree with this Rhino stomp and a few others should get some animation love or they'll look clunky and not really feel as fluid as the rest of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xx_AngelofDeath_xX Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Right now using hildryn's first ability feels sluggish because of the crawling speed it puts you in. Could this also be looked at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EquinoxPrime Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Equinox is a very mobile Warframe and I've gotten so used to that, would love to see other Warframes get some love in that regard. YOU CAN CAST IN THE AIR! YOU CAN CAST IN THE AIR! EVERYBODY CAN CAST IN THE AIR! Looking forward to this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diaversai Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I love the idea. One thing to maybe keep in mind though is that Warframe is pretty bad at calculating range when things are elevated (either above or below). You can see this particularly with loot detector. It probably calculates 3 meters up and 4 meters across = 7 meters, instead of calculating the diagonal distance at 5 meters. I've noticed when I jump and use Volt's 4, it's much less effective than if I'm on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In GIF he casts Stomp after he lands , what I want to see is we get stomp effect on landing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundervision Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Sounds great. I can't count how many times I couldn't cast Link due to not standing on the surface for some reason. Maybe Mesa will also learn how to cast her 3/4 abilities on the run w/o restricting her movement, e.g. stopping everytime one casts Ballistic Battery One can only hope.

RevenantPhoenix Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I think this is a great idea from a gameplay standpoint, but I think this should be accompanied with new/adjusted animations to really sell the space ninja/aerial combat fantasy. A lot of powers that can already be cast midair make the warframe look like they're standing or hitting the ground while airborne, which is kind of a glaring visual flaw given how great Warframe's character animations usually are.

Lopoleo Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 If you make Link castable in midair, make Energy Vampire like that too. While you are at it, I'd like to see many abilities usable on a zipwire too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it hasn't been that long since Phase 1 got released but DE has said nothing about the future of the system since then. The megathread is over 30 pages now and I think everyone who has posted there would appreciate some kind of direct response. Back on topic, I'm fine with air casting as long as proper care is taken with animations for situations in which things look silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lioganda Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Tbh, The clip you showed with Rhino dropping to the ground and using the original Rhino Stomp animation looks really clunky. It's like he instantly ports to the ground and immediately does his original animation. Why can't he have a new animation where if he's in the air, he just does a big slam with his foot (like melee ground slam). It would make it look so much better!

(PSN)Lowk721 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Yes please. Would also adding air casting specific animation be asking too much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
