Wisp Review/Early feedback

[Birdframe_Prime]

While that could be I don't think that is the case. If you watch closely she dies a few times during the stream, but godmode restores her health to full. She has this happen once before she has health regen. Then she activates her buffs and gains +max health and the regen. Later she dies a few more times and her health is just restored to max when she hits 0. She may have turned on a health regen hack at the same time she picks up the health buff, but it seems more likely that is the effect.

You're not wrong there, to be fair. However, consider that this is a 1 ability, it will be in absolutely no way better than Oberon's Renewal (and if it is I will join Xenogelion on a goat-themed Crusade...)

I don't know how the regen she got was so high, buuuuut... I have seen god-mode actually regen health without death on the streams, it's not overly significant, but health regen works on a value of acceleration. So in theory even if Wisp is only giving you +10 per second, god-mode might be accelerating that beyond what it could originally be.

In any case, any health regen at all in Warframe is welcome, so whatever it is, as long as picking up one of the Motes does that? Fair enough.

I have already made comments about her 2 and 3. Now I want to make suggestions for her passive and 4.

Her passive needs to effect crouch/sliding as well as running. It also needs to have a duration. As in when you jump run or parkour it needs to apply a buff when you land or come out of the action for a few seconds. It also looked like she still took CC and knock back. Moa stomps were still stumbling her. She needs to be immune to all of that during  her passive. passive needs to have void damage like operators or some kind of true damage. Adaptive damage?

RANT WARNING

I do not think this would be too much since so many frames struggle in anything higher than 30 (rebb was struggling in just over 30, in fact she would have failed the mission if god mode didn't save her defense target) because they are squishy. Another part of the problem is I feel like DE is balancing frames around team play too much. It started back with the Ember nerfs. Logically if you want to make it so that solo players can do stuff then having a frame like ember that allows you to tackle missions reasonably well (she fell off towards late game even before the nerfs) is good. However, They nerfed her because in average levels it was too "press 4 to win". They ended up not making her more interactive to play, but instead just nerrfed the S#&amp;&#036; out of her. I have a decent build for her now, but your'e still going to get gimped around level 50 and you are not going to be efficient enough at killing, even when solo. What is my point? Rebb was too scared to use a frame at >>>ENEMY LEVEL 35<<< without god mode. Not only could she not stay alive, she could not even kill enemies hardly nor keep her objective alive.This is a new frame too, and it is not like Wisp is a support frame, she has a radial blind and a giant solar beam. If they want people to be able to solo things then they need to stop being stingy with frames.

At this point it is not even exclusive to solo play, If you want to kill enemies at higher levels or even bosses you have to use weapons. The only exceptions are Mesa and Titania. My point here is the game is getting boring and stale when you basically are just playing an FPS. When they nerfed Mesa a few years back so that she had to actually aim at something (which I think was a good change actually), they also nerfed Mag's greedy pull. Around that time is when they changed Ember and other frames to make it so that you actually had to interact with the game meaningfully. However they did not give any power for what they took away in a lot of areas. Then they added rivens and weapons became THE way to kill things. Trinity fell out of the meta (partially because she was boring AF) mostly because energy management became easier (which was a good change) and team play went away. Eidelons were added and trinity had a job. However other frames can do that job, if not better. Orbs mothers were added and it is basically a bullet hell like the rest of the game. Staying alive is the key, and killing things with weapons or gimmicks is the answer. 

This. Is. Boring.

I'm glad people kept this going. We tried. Quite simply if they had done 10% of the work they did on Hildryn for Wisp, this thread would not have existed as is. Had it actually conformed to the ghost theme in a usable way, she wouldn't just be an upgrade to Tintanias hover animation. Had she any semblance of use in mission, she would be the biggest reason to farm the new map.

She is none of these. I was very well considering buying her straight out with plat as soon as she dropped given the difficult farm for the new frames lately. I figured I'd be stuck on Jupiter for a month with 3% drop chance on rotation c. They now had better straight give you her for doing something you would already find useful to farm, ala Khora in Sanctuary Onslaught, or I doubt she will even qualify as Mastery Fodder. Come to think of it, if she is the only reason to farm the new Gas City, she will have single handedly destroyed that update. Anybody farming Eris anymore? And Mesa is one of the best frames in the game.

To say this has been wholly disappointing would be incorrect. Warframe always has a million things to farm in a million different places that have to be repeated a million times. This is officially one less place to farm. It will not disrupt my current goals at all, and has been the first frame since Harrow that I can say this. Here's to hoping some ephemera or something drops in the new mode because Wisp is officially a hard pass for me.

Quite honestly, what hit me the hardest was simply how terribly she did at the game mode it looks like she may drop from.  Unmodded Vauban could've done it better, and that's not a high bar.

Vauban isn't exactly as bad effectively as people claim, he's just anti-fun. Grap you Prisma Obex, entropy detonation, range on vortex suck up the whole room and blow them all up in one finisher. 

Wisp is both anti-fun, and all that bravado for her 4 was incorrect. I forget that unless they forget that an ability scales 2-3 times with mods like exalted weapons or Whip claw, the ability does laughable amounts of damage. If they don't literally double it then add some, yeah, she is a nuke frame with a terrible nuke. Funny how I was calling it the other way for so long because I forgot who was developing it. The kind of sad thing is after watching years of devstreams, waiting for system redesigns that never happen, and literally nothing meeting any sort of player expectations I am beginning to wonder if they need to hand design over to another team. Rebecca, Steve, Sheldon et all, have layed an amazing foundation, but they are tired. Watching them interview with Mogamu they literally don't expect anything to be well received anymore. This game needs someone to come in say "these haven't been working for years, and here are solutions that successful games have utilized in groundbreaking fashion to improve player experience." 

It's not one thing. Assuming a Warframe has a perfect kit with each ability useful but not required, they are still based on a broken damage/shield/health/energy system. Every single Warframe. The UI hasn't been appreciably updated in ever. The loot system is so terrible, you either never need a resource again (ferrite etc.), or it is so rare you have to farm it constantly whenever something requires it to build (Toroids etc). 

Now I hate to be this hard on them, but I have been waiting for flat damage mods to be removed since before primed pressure point was released, and that's literally a flip of a switch. Forget melee 3.0, damage 3.0, or Archwing 3.0. They literallycannot figure out how to code Serration into the Braton.

Every once in a while I get a wild hair going on and give the team a flood of feedback. Usually takes them a year+ to figure out I was right. Take Vacuum. Would you believe I was one of the people complaining about it when Carrier was first released? I asked for universal vacuum then, kubrows didn't even exist. Then "The Vacuum Within" years later they expanded it to all sentinels. Again I asked for universal vacuum, and claimed the worst possible thing they could do is Nerf the effect. Well, now fetch exists, and hell, I still think if they insist on the broken loot system in this game VACUUM SHOULD BE UNIVERSAL!!!!

But hey, I still keep playing so jokes on me right?

DE use the exact same skeleton and animations throughout so as to have a simple library to reference when setting up the peer-to-peer sessions for playing the game. Doubling up every animation in the game doesn't really help with that, and it's why they haven't actually done this to any other frame in the first place.

As for 'just changing the animation on the legs', yeah, no, that's not a thing. That's what I mean by 'doubling up' on the animations. These aren't live animations that you can adjust based on the positioning or specific frame, you would have to literally create a second animation for every single movement that is achieved in the Melee system. At a rough estimate that's... 73 stances, each with combos ranging from 3 to 6 moves (with some overlap, so call it 12 unique animations) making about 864 new animations there, plus weapon-type specific Air attacks (with some overlap let's call that 20 animations instead of 24), plus the regular animations such as Slams, Air Slams, Spin Attacks, Wall Attacks, Finishers for front and back for the different weapon types, Ground Finishers for the different weapon types...

And this is on top of run, sprint, shoot (different kinds of shoot), access console, pick up object, revive team member... you're looking at easily over 1000 Animations that would need to be redone entirely for Wisp.

It's genuinely not simple, my friend. I can't even accurately count the number of potential animations that would need to be redone and coded in to be used explicitly by Wisp. Even if you're discounting the basic movement ones.

Again, this is why they haven't done it for any other frame previously.

I may be misreading or I did not make my point clear (in which case my bad and I am sorry) but I am not asking for an animation set to effect stances or attacks. If wisp has a melee weapon out and is standing still, she should be floating as if she is holding a gun. Animation sets usually only give you different idle poses and animations when gun is out. Soon as you start running with gun or firing, it goes to default pose until the player stops moving. Once the player idles, it uses the chosen animation set again. That's what I want for melee weapons. I don't need nor want melee stances being affected by the selected animation set. That would be impossible and unreasonable. Wisp however, should be floating when running with melee out because she is able to do that with guns out. Obviously (not trying to sound obnoxious) when she performs an attack of any kind it should go to the default animations until she stops attack. Then, she floats around instead of running with the melee weapon out and gets to use the animation set selected while melee is out as well rather than having to switch back to gun mode. 

Hope this helps clarify my ideas.

It does, but then that's still another 24 odd animations to redo before her release for both her Noble and Agile animation sets.

Yeah but at the same time, they did it for the entire set of both primary and secondary weapons which outnumber the melee weapons combined. Also it does not have to be before her release. Just let us know that they will work on it with the melee updates (which have been below average by the way).

Over the course of months, my friend, over the course of months. My entire point was that this isn't a quick process, or even something they actually wanted to attempt in the first place. It was just a byproduct of the visual design of not having feet.

I would not expect them to do the melee poses at all, and I take every changed animation we've actually had so far as a bonus that I wasn't going to get normally.

I think that a lot of the player base will not agree with you. Frames are all balanced, unmodded, to take on level 30 content (it's why they level up to 30) according to DE. With modding, frames are able to take on much higher content, and again, this is according to DE.

According to the player base, however... frames only start to drop off around level 80-100. Even Ember, with her lack of survivability, can function at level 80-100.

Some frames do struggle, like Ember, but considering players have recorded evidence of not only hitting level 300 solo with every single frame in the game, they have also shown themselves doing it with a vast majority of weapons, not hiding behind Meta builds, and on game modes where the enemies deal a base 3x damage compared to their regular forms (Mot, for example).

Yes you have to use weapons for most of them, but that's kind of the point. Warframes are not purely abilities or purely weapons, it's the blending of the two that allows every frame to succeed.

The point to emphasise is not that the frame seemed to be under-performing, but that the player was under-performing. Rebecca has shown many, many times throughout her Prime Time and DevStream demonstrations, that trying to play an unfamiliar frame and explain new content at the same time often causes her massive drops in performance at the game. And even when playing without the pressure of having to do something new and different, with a frame she's familiar with, she's not exactly the best in the game.

Until we, the players, all get Wisp in our hands... just take Rebecca's performance with a grain of salt. I'm 100% confident that, just with what I've seen, I could scale Wisp beyond Sortie levels easily.

Most of us were never thinking that her 4 was a 'nuke', F8ted... we were all worried that it was mono-directional and had no support from her other abilities (other than the really minor buffs she could get from her 1.

Unfortunately for both you and I, letting Wisp use her 2 while using her 4 is exactly what will allow that ability to function as intended, rather than being a death sentence for her the moment she goes into the animation.

Before she had only a short-range CC ability, a tissue-thin health buff and a minor movement speed buff to survive with while using her 4. These were all completely insubstantial and about as much use as a neon sign over her head saying 'trying to kill you, please don't kill me first'.

When they showed her 2 on this stream, I actually had to go back and double check the footage from the last one, because I saw something there that everyone seemed to miss entirely including me; it's not just a decoy/teleport ability. Wisp actually goes invisible for the duration, meaning that the decoy is absolutely going to work (unlike Saryn's, where she's still visible and easy to shoot). She goes invisible, enemies only see one source of aggro in the form of the decoy, and teleporting to it grants actual damage mitigation.

So when they said that she can now use it while in her 4? Regrettably that's it. That's what she needed. That's the support that will allow her to use her 4 and function as a Warframe.

The ability doesn't deal a lot of damage in the first few hits, only about 700-1000 damage of each type to level 35 enemies (although that was on Amalgams, that seem to have damage resistance) and this was compared to the 35s and 40s she was getting with her Hikou on those same amalgam enemies. So it's more than a modded weapon at least, and it does have Status, so it'll strip armour, proc Radiation and Heat too. I'm guessing that she didn't have any kind of full build on (although there was something there... something...) meaning this could, just 'could', be an actual high damage dealer because they did say that the more you hit enemies the more it scales and that it does penetrate to hit enemies beyond at the same time. Hitting a line of enemies could be more beneficial than just trying to hose down one enemy like she was doing.

But my argument this whole time is that... it's rocket tag. She dies or they die. And because there are more than one enemy facing off against her... that's going to be her without some way to survive.

Turning invisible, having another target draw aggro, and then being able to make yourself temporarily invulnerable is it.

Also they seem to have taken her 'blind' off her 2 and made it part of her 3 instead, and it also emanates primarily from Wisp, with the bonus of emanating from the Wells (which is definitely something they've done based on our feedback).

If she has a radial blind? And invisibility? And a decoy? And invulnerability phases? And a radial stun from her 1? And a speed boost from her 1? And Health Regen from her 1?

Sadly, that's a functioning Warframe.

She wasn't before.

Now she is.

I'm disappointed, but now I'll be able to play her. She works. And as much as I bemoan the loss of opportunity that something like our proposed 4th abilities gave the frame... she's gone from a frame that directly countered her own usability to one that has a saving grace.

From 'F' tier up to about 'D+' or even 'C-' if you're generous. Heck, based on just her 1, 2 and 3, I could probably make her perform at a 'B' tier, I think.

Give her a chance.

I think people just need to drop the Ghost theme idea. It’s not like Revenant where he is obviously supposed to be Eidolon but they made him something else. We all just assumed her theme to be ghost and we were wrong. The real theme issue is the portal frame in which she was described as (which honestly her visual design does look like something that would bring traveling through space portals) has next to no connection to her powers. Her 4 is the only one that has anything to do with portals, one in her hands one in the center of the sun (awesome use of space portals btw).

We need to stop claiming she’s a ghost frame and focus on the portal frame lacking portals.

Indeed. Visually though she does use portals to plop her Mote flowers down by summoning it from the portal above her head. Her 2 could use a fading portal effect in front of her when spawning the light clone, and maybe one behind her when she teleports.

Also that selection circle that appears when Reb moused over a Reservoir looks like Pablo's UI handiwork, and the art resembles a portal though we haven't found out its function.

She's coming along nicely in that department.

[F8ted]

@SekanYeah, I'm 100% sure I have done better in this thread showing why Wisp has problems outside of being able to teleport during her 4. Was not even on my double primed animal instinct radar. 

I've gone through it, but for ease, she doesn't bring anything to the table that someone else doesn't already do better. Any frame used for buffing: Chroma, Banshee, Oberon, Nova etc buff better, and easier. Any stealth frame has a better stealth mechanic, including Octavia which also buffs better. I mean ffs they are going to be alerted and shoot the decoy every time it's used. That's not even Shade level of stealth. Then she has her supbar nukes that will be compared to the likes of Saryn, Banshee, and Mesa. Hell half the "buff frames" have better nukes. 

Too many people be like, "nah I like Wisp with all that garbage". Confused the ever living hell out of the developers. If anyone thinks this thread, or my complaints are going to be anywhere near as relentless or as numerous as after her release they got another thing coming. This will be a solid month of "fix Wisp" threads and likely a panel question at Tennocon.

 

Edit: I meant to shoot that @Birdframe_Prime but it won't let me edit out the mention. Whatever.

Okay, let me play Devil's Advocate on this one. I'm going to be super-positive and find things that are good about this frame for a bit. You know my real stance, but this is for debate purposes.

So. Wisp has no Stealth mechanics. Invisibility in Wisp's case is used as a Mitigation mechanic. She pops in and out of visibility in order to negate damage, not as a means to be stealthy. In that respect, she's actually performing well.

Wisp's buffs, while they won't be able to compete with some of the other buff frames, that's because they are on the 1 ability. Very few frames that buff do so with that, they most often have more powerful buffs on the more costly casts. Wisp's buffs are Speed, Health and CC Aura, the CC aura is literally just a Vauban Tesla attached to you with longer duration, the Health buff appears to be a fairly large additive value and Regen of some kind, and the speed buff is a weaker Volt buff.

Considering this is a 1 cast, with three different effects, the individual effects are actually surprisingly good.

Her 2 is, again, not a Stealth function, it's a damage Mitigation function. And from what I've seen, it's a pretty damn good one. Makes her invisible, draws all the aggro away from her, and has both mobility and an invulnerability period. This is her best cast, and for good reason, I don't know of a frame that combines these four things on a single cast, and I'm convinced that, as far as the purpose of it goes, it's actually one of the best of its kind so far, especially for the cost.

Her 3... Okay, we didn't see it properly. We saw the original, we saw the animation of the refined. One key point it did encompass was a blind. Radial blinds are good. A radial blind that affects not only enemies directly around you, but also at a secondary, tertiary and even quaternary locations means that the range can potentially exceed Excal or even old Mirage if those locations are used well.

But there might be other effects too. Is this also a damage function? Is it also a debuff on enemies? I do wish DE would explain that, but all I can do is send off a tweet and see if they respond...

And her 4 could be good damage. With the ability to move around in it at reasonably high speed, CC enemies that are too close, regen your health and also use that fantastic 2 at the same time, the scaling damage could actually end up being really effective. While I don't see it being a room clearer, I definitely see it being a good call to blind enemies and throw that down a corridor into the enemy that are approaching.

Is she without flaw? No. Again, you know my position on her, and I know yours.

But take a fresh, unbiased look at her.

The buffs are not as good as any one frame would do, no. But there are three of them on one single cast which is better than having to take three frames to have that effect. They are also long-duration and refreshable without re-casting which will make that very, very efficient in situations where she can come back to the cast points. There are plenty of game modes where this is possible, and sometimes where it's required, so don't be overly judgemental of that idea.

The survivability of the frame is good. In fact it could be amazing. With inbuilt invisibility, an ability decoy, teleportation, blinds, and health regen she will survive everything except the amount of direct damage that would one-shot every other caster frame in the game.

And the damage is possible, even if it would be more effective to take good weapons, she does have an option to deal high ability damage. It just takes the frame actually ensuring that she's using her buffs, using her CC, using her damage mitigation... kind of exactly like the other frames have to. Mesa can (I know) just use Peacemaker and hose down enemies before they touch her. But nobody thinks that's the best way to run her, so they use her CC, they use her damage mitigation. Same with Revenant (and yeah, there are problems with him too) you can use his 4 to deal high damage over time and you can just spin into a room, coat everything with lasers and carry on, but again, people won't do that on its own, they will use decoys with his 1, they will use damage mitigation with his 2, they will use his 3 to get out and recast 2 or add some charges to it.

I genuinely think that this frame now functions. It didn't before.

If DevStream 127 had been the reveal instead of 126, I don't think that we would have had as much of a problem with the frame as we did.

The fact that she was previewed in such a poor state to begin with gave us some hope that we could change more than actually got changed. We couldn't. DE really wanted to get this 'steer the animation' 4 out of the way.

And as much as I would rather something different, I stopped, took that fresh look at the frame as if I was genuinely seeing it for the first time, and... yeah. Okay. I don't like it, but I think it's going to be alright.

[F8ted]

@Birdframe_Prime I can't start this again. We can reread each other's posts rather than reiterate it every few days. I've said my piece. Her survivability is laughable, did you not watch Rebecca play fully cheat mode modded? I know of plenty of Warframes with invulnerability windows, rocked Naramon when it was infinite stealth, and have played Excalibur since he had proto-bullet jump as an ability. The new view is the nail in the coffin, just like the view of Khora when they abandoned IPS changes. I have Rolling Guard, literally all my Warframes have a better invulnerability window. I have a Huras Kubrow, literally all my Warframes have better stealth survivability. Clem is more useful than her entire kit.

What's maddening is the only things they changed were Nerfing her 2, making her 3 usable because no one will use her 1 and letting people teleport during her 4. This never addressed anything. A usable Warframe? 9 times out of 10 I have either an Ivara or Loki on my team that watches the action from the corner to hilariously productive effect. 

Also, for the record no one uses Mesa for her CC. There is just no reason not to have it running because unlike Wisp it just works for a whole minute. Peacemaker has had the Acolyte nerfed out of it and stands next to Exalted Blade, and Dex Pixia as the best exalted weapons by a huge margin. Hildryn tries to come close. Even then, do you see a lot of Excaliburs spinning with their sword as if it were the Atterax? Nah, that would be terribly inefficient. Prism wipes out every single spawn in the room until you deactivate and blind whatever has spawned in the meantime, and is cheaper than Wisps 3/ Excaliburs 2.

You play how you want to for sure. As will I. I prefer 90% damage done and 10% damage taken on my scoreboard. Wisp will have no place there. If I wanted to justify any different, I'd play Trinity.  Hell Trinity with Wisp animation for 30p sounds good to me. I'll least reward the work that was done well. Far less farm too.

please let wisp 4 could make more damage than mase 4,it's fair,because mase 4 could kill evething inside the focus ring up to 50 meters away, wisp can not do that thing,wisp 4  just like hold a lazer gun.

I mean anyone who reviews warframe content before the player base has played it.   Everyone else knows that

• DE has no idea how to build/mod for maximum effectiveness
• Rebecca (or anyone else at DE I've ever seen) is not exactly representative of what the even slightly above average WF player can achieve.

While reading cliff notes and looking at youtube videos may get one a passing grade from whatever 'educational' establishment these folks attend, it won't from me.

Chill, but plenty of people, myself for instance, have called some of the biggest blunders straight out of the devstream. Void changes, Vacuum, Khora, Lunaro. I mean hell, you read youself some Atlas Shrugged? Or did you simply judge that a propoganda book written by one of the worst philosophers in modern history wasn't worth the time? Even if you did, was it enjoyable?

DE has cheater mode. If they do anything but faceroll during demonstrations, that is a bad sign. Hell, YouTubers that review these frames don't show off failing against level 30s. They similacrum level 150s, which is a high bar for sure, but well represents relative effectiveness. Also, said folks take an objective perspective, rather than "this is my baby you never going to see why she is so great". 

You are some sort of confused, or unfamiliar with this here community. Rebecca and Steve said they "don't think Railjack will meet expectations. Nothing meets players expectations". They haven't even finished it yet, and they realize next to the competition, Railjack is years behind games that were released years ago. Why???? There has not been a redesign of any system in this game that fixed the problems that were cited as the reason for the change. Most of the time they make it worse because it seems there is some ridiculous impasse at giving players what they ask for. Want out of the Void? Randomized missions that require an item to get the item you want. Where do you find that item? Oh, in the void. Too many different keys? Here's over a hundred unique relics and counting. People only using elemental damage mods to boost weapon damage? Let's just change which types are which and then add dual stat status/elemental mods so people can just use the new ones. People only using Carrier because it helps with the loot problem? Half the range on it and give it to the sentinels that no one uses, and put ammo mutation on carrier. Oh everyone still uses Carrier, fine here's fetch and a bunch of other ways to auto refill your gun but also, Synth set. Still Carrier?!?! People want decent PvP in the game?Here is the worst knockoff of Rocket League that has ever been made, oh and you can purchase all that PvP gear by playing it. No one wants? 😞

Yeah okay that's good for now /rant

Oh, dear you think anyone is concerned about her 4 being as effective as Mesa? Calm down, no one expects anyone's 4 to top that, because they don't. People just like the huge laser and wish it wasn't in the tickling frequency of light.

you got me wrong

It's a shame that they seem to have taken the answers that required the least amount of effort. They just took the blind from her 2 and made it her 3, and let you use her 2 while the beam is being spammed. I get that they're hurting for time but I realIy don't think anyone would have minded them saying "hey we want to work on this more" if the end result was something better than...this hot mess of a kit. Don't know who did Nezha's rework, but I hope they're doing well, wherever they are, because it's clearly not working on frames anymore.

The link should be ok, I don't know if I express it clearly, I just hope that her 4 can cause a lot of damage, even if the range of wisp 4 is very small.
