A goodbye to blink.

[(XBOX)Huggs93]

It is with great sadness that we morn the death of blink. On Itzal and all archwings... for it is being moved to the doge button something you can’t do on Xbox. I suggested long ago that it be moved to your fifth ability since you cannot use operators but alas our cries and mine ladies in gentlemen were devoured by the void. So it is with a heavy heart that we cannot speed run with it anymore and that we are given a rip-line ability instead. Something that I don’t know how they can pull off. Grab your shawzins and make a ballad to a once long ability gone and lost... but never forgotten...

It figures that they would screw something else up

What, you can't roll? I recall being able to do so by tapping the sprint button when I tried console Warframe.

I'm wondering if the guy is telling if this is a console exclusive thread or he is trying to console us.

Gotta love the ambiguity of English syntax!

On PS4 L1 + L3 does some sort of spin now...maybe that's the barrel roll? Never used it in a mission. I hope the universal blink distance is decent and Scott doesn't make it 5m just to mess with us. :)

Edit: Yup, it's a barrel roll if you push left or right...and now I feel nauseous. :(

i play with a controller on pc and i dodge completely fine, are you actually a gamer? or just one of those people that love to whine over meaningless things to try and ruin videos games?

[SneakyErvin]

What kind of dark age state are consoles in? Cant you simply rebind buttons as you wish?

[Oreades]

Eh I will say having on the 5th ability does make sense. Unless they are eventually planning on doing something with that while in AW?

Of course we can. It just takes more effort than creating a whine thread apparently.

No, we can to some extent, not as we wish though.

Can you be a little bit more constructive and tell us how you do it?

Because I tried and there's nothing else I can do other than side barrel rolls or U-turns backflips.

Only when sprinting. 

And only when in space (doesn't work in Poe or Vallis for some reason).

iirc wasnt there a bug that makes it so consoles cannot forward roll? This going to be a issue if they force blink on forward roll for console players.

 

Actual console players not PC players with controllers.

 

Edit: imma go try to figure out how to roll on xbox.

You just have to bind a roll command to any of the eligible buttons. 

That's really how easy it is.

But the current system doesn't allow you to put it where you want, resulting in some other command being lost.

ah I see what you mean I had to keybind the sprint/roll command for the archwing dodge. I guess I can just lose melee channeling since I dont use it anyway lol. Might even switch to using keyboard/mouse in the future for console on xbox since it has full support now on xbone.

 

edit: actually now that I think about it. Does that sprint/roll also do normal sprinting for frames? cause I can just keybind the left thumbstick in that case.

But if you unbind melee channel you lose the ability to use secondary fire during Warframe sessions, or open worlds Archwing ones.

That's why it sucks currently, they should give us a different controller scheme for Archwing... I mean, there's Lunaro among the customizable schemes and there's no Archwing? Come on.

Btw when looking at the controls there a no dodge I’ve tried everything 

[Lavantant]

i mean, PC's already better in every way, but i guess this is just another thing to tack on

ok so let me get some clarity did you do this or does console have a different control scheme 

1. Menu 
2. Options
3. Controls 
4. Customize Key bindings
5. Sprint / Roll  

its right above the Sprint and below the Hold to crouch bindings 

<As of making post edit> PC users can look at Controller set up right between toggle crouch and sprint its right there just unbind sprint and leave sprint/roll bound then it be tap for roll hold for sprint its how i did it in my keybinding

I also play using my Controller on PC and I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about,.... how do you Roll/dodge in archwing ?

You can.... in Other Games. Warframe has some really bizarre Binding Limits.

For example.... you can't move the channel button.... like.... at all.... but you actually can..... except it won't work if you do....so really you actually can't.

 

 

[(PSN)Lollybomb]

There needs to be a separate controller binding section for archwings.  Triangle, square, and pressing the touch pad go wholly unused in archwing mode, but we can't use any of those buttons for upcoming blink function because that would severely interfere with regular gameplay.

Or, they could actually be smart about the usage of L1 in archwing mode like they are in normal mode.  In normal play, tapping L1 will make you do a dodge roll, but holding it will make you slide.  However, in archwing mode tapping L1 causes you to basically do nothing.  It starts to do the turbo mode (if you're already boosting), but then stops because you aren't holding it.

Also, messing around with Hildryn, I realize that they actually DO have the code in to handle L1 properly for dodging in archwings.  It's just inconsistent.  Archwings don't work, Titania doesn't work, but Hildryn does.
