Hi there o/

1. Currently, the affinity system encourages leeching when leveling weapons—only 50% of gained affinity goes to the weapon on your own kills vs. 75% on allied kills. To combat this, would it be possible to make affinity skip fully leveled and unlensed gear, and only go to unleveled and lensed gear? 

2. Will the Kuva Lich system in Empyrean change the Kuva economy in any way? If so, how? Are there any other changes planned for Riven rerolling costs, Kuva drop rates, or plans for more Kuva-giving missions?

3. Do you have any updates on the removal of Pet Stasis and the two new Kavat species?

4. Will you ever raise other auras' capacity bonus to 18 to match Steel Charge?

5. What's your opinion about adding a third special Warframe slot for Augments?

6. Could we have custom zoom levels on the open-world minimap? With the default setting, it's almost impossible to tell what's around you when outside.

7. Are you adding more constant-effect, aura-like Ephemera like Smoking Body or Corprosant Prime? Will you be putting any Ephemera on the Market?

[Cmdr-A]

1. What ever happened to those proto skins that are based off of Dark Sector weapons. They've been shown off only once and have faded into backburner. Is there going to ever be anything about them in the future?

2. Will there ever be any new syndicate weapon augments? Its been 84 years since we've gotten any new weapon augments from syndicates. We get a few new wawrframe power augments every few months, but nothing as far as weapons. Would be nice to see a resurgence of new syndicate mods for weapons.

3. Can we possibly ever get a shield increasing aura mod? We have a health increasing one, and an armor increasing one, and a sprint speed increasing one, but we don't have one for shields yet.

4. 3rd Orb spider on the Vallis when?

5. Will we ever get the weapon that the vapos machinist / rangers use? They have an interesting burst fire assault rifle that would make a lovely collection to my arsenal. Its very well designed visually.

[Gabbynaru]

Mandatory "Mirage Deluxe when?"

Also, when are we getting Quick Melee back? Cause Melee 3.0 is an exercise in frustration thanks to the terrible flow and pacing of all combos in the game, an issue easily fixed by simple combos like the ones Quick Melee allowed for.

Finally, in one of the recent Devstreams, you guys said you are considering normal spawn rates for solo players (instead of the quarter spawns we have now). Any progress on that front?

[Skythin]

When can we expect the next update for Melee 2.999999999... which covers the new combo system as well as some community requested features/changes, like being able to toggle between the new "Quick Melee" and the old "Quick Melee" system?

Also: Frames which comes initally with a weapon, which are not exalted/ability based, are currently not be able to equip this weapon exclusively (e.g. Garuda and her Talons). Can we expect a change for this too?

[Kylo.]

• Will we get Valkyr Deluxe Skin? Gersimi is not a ‘real’ deluxe.
• Can Ganymede (Disruption) on Jupiter be fissure viable?
• Will there be more syndicate weapons?
• Any plans on allowing Archwing Mission to be fissures, so the entire planet of Uranus can be used for fissure missions?
• Can Kuva Fortress and Lua be Fissure-viable please?
• Will Corrupted Mods get a look at again at some point? 
• Where is single sword + pistol dual wielding?
• Are there any plans for allowing dual wield with thrown weapons like the Kunai, Spira (Prime) or Hikou (Prime)?
• Will we ever get primary and/or secondary stealth finishers/finishers?
• Any news on the (promised) updates to current boss fights. Mainly Phorid, Sergeant?
• Any plans for new Kavats? 
• Any plan to buff Kubrows?
• Is there a way to see how much xp each Weapon/Frame/Companion got in a mission when they are already level 30?
• Is it possible to have us set up the "important" resources that pop up when we pick them up, like Tellurium and Argon Crystals?
• Possible to add hours next to Usage in the profile?
• Possible to access information about Usage in the last 28 Days, 365 Days in the Profile?
• Would it be possible to add mouse over for the buffs at the top of the screen?
• Will there be more stuff to unlock with focus points? Relic Packs bought with Focus?
• Gentleman a short view back to the past. four years ago, Some Guy told us: "Take a trained monkey, place him in front of the computer and he is able to copter through the void." four years later years later some guy told us: "I had to move through the void like a robot. It's very complicated." And some other guy said, err, he pressed during the mission, I don't remember what mission, the wrong button on the keyboard. Question for you two both. Is warframe movement today too complicated with 20 and more buttons on the keyboard for movement, are you too much under effort, under pressure? What are your wishes for the future, concerning movement, errrm, during the race? Less buttons, more? Or less and more communication  with your lotus.
   

[Drachnyn]

Will we get an update on the lootframe nerf from before tennocon? We only have radio silence on that topic despite a devstream mentioning further thought/updates on this topic.

[(PSN)RenovaKunumaru]

Will we see a melee balance pass like we did for the other weapons?

[(PSN)IndianChiefJeff]

Cool, but any information regarding Faction Syndicates? I feel as though their missions don't flow well together as, say, Solaris United's missions do. Their assassin squads are just generic Eximus units that bear no significant appearance or impact.  The individuals leading these syndicates ALWAYS receive the backseat driver treatment, with Lotus still functioning as mission control. I'd be hoping for a Faction Syndicate rework in order to bring it up to par with what most ingame content is at this point, including some of the new game modes, but that might be asking for too much. As for what we could earn, we could receive so many new rewards, from cosmetics for your Warframes, Operator, weapons, companions & ships, to emblems & glyphs that are so desperately needed if Empyrean allows the player to slap a glyph on the side of their Railjack. We could also earn new weapon sets, especially for the heavy weapon category. It's been far too long since the entire system received any significant form of QoL anyways, so please consider!

[xanzath]

Is melee escaping the 2.99... limbo it's been stuck in since march anytime soon? No ability to block on demand (which is crucial for directed rolling), forcibly breaking flow of Redeemer shots, dropping data mass on aim glide, unequiping of scanners/drills/spears after melee are still ongoing issues with the system.

[Vindicta_Necis]

Any Rework Progress Info?  Namely on Vauban and Nyx plus the Pet system rework?

 

Thank you

[NightmareT12]

So, I registered on E3 2013 after the Sony conference when "The Call" trailer was presented, then started playing regularly when U10 dropped. Much has changed in the game. So, questions!

1. We've seen concepts fall and rise over the course of the years, such as the J-2000 Golem, which became Lephantis, and then was resurrected as the Jordas one. Question is, if possible, what other concepts have fallen off that you're looking at reviving under a new light?
2. Out of all the updates, is there something you've shipped you wish you could have done better or invested more time on?
3. Similarly, what are you most proud of? (No Railjack, that's cheating :p)
4. Lastly, the game continues to grow and evolve, and the Jovian Concord renewed Jupiter. All the oldest tilesets (Grineer Asteroid ship, Grineer Desert Outpost, Corpus ship, Corpus Outpost and Orokin Derelict) are going to be renewed, but if you could choose one right now to review, which one would it be?

And that's all. Thanks for your time! 🙂

[Wraith]

How will Railjack function when running solo, will the NPC's take the place of players?

[(XBOX)Skippy575]

@SenatraAthena I got you!

It's been 113 devstreams, and over half a decade since Primed Chamber was available for the masses to obtain. When is it coming back?

[tomwork27]

10 minutes ago, Kylo. said:

• Can Ganymede (Disruption) on Jupiter be fissure viable?

sentients and void dont go together

[Burritochu]

1. Is there any possibility of updating some of the older Prime weapon models? I.E Paris, Burston.
2. Would there he any chance of removing the key reqs for the Derelicts? 
3. Are there any plans to update more tile sets? Personally I think the Corpus Ice Planet/Wrecked Ship could use a tune up.

[(XBOX)Vaktalor]

Any news:

• The Endorsement System Replacing the Guides of the Lotus Program.
• Stalker Mode News?
• Any Melee 3.0 News?
• Are there still plans of a Scythe Rework? Last mentioned back in Devstream #109 .
• The Return of Trials (AKA Raids) and how are they going to be like?
• Any more New Player Experience news or potential release window?

What about: 

• System changes & reworks that would be nice
  • Utilize the syndicates more like making the daily syndicate themselves and their daily missions more rewarding and intriguing. Syndicate Armor sets and more syndicate weapons would be nice too..
  • Since ephemeras are meant to be achievement based we should have them be rewarded to tenno by fulfilling certain tasks like for example getting max rank in a syndicate, Completing certain quests, completing all lua tests, having one earned from mastery every 3 tests, etc.
     
• Warframe Changes & Reworks:
  • Equinox being able to use combined form in combat?
  • Since the addition of Secondary energy colors. I have been thinking this lately. Are there plans for chroma to use elements like radiation, viral, corrosive, etc.?
  • Vauban Rework
     
• In-Game Quality Of Life:
  • Allowing weapon mods to be equippable on both regular weapons and sentinel weapons at the same time would be great.
  • Message of the Day of all chats like recruiting and trading but also clan and alliance char to be in bold and to also reappear in chat after a set amount of time looking at the chat like every 30 minutes.to an hour.
     
• Clan System Quality Of Life:
  • A clan system ability to have those with ruler permissions to change the Default Clan Rank for new members joining a clan as shown in this thread.
  • Longer Message of the Day character limits would be a very welcomed change.
  • Ability to Sort members by mastery rank from highest to lowest and/or lowest to highest in the clan page.
  • A separate clan role that allows to start or pause pigment projects and have that mechanic be taken away from the tech role.
  • A clan recruiting relay
     
• Clan Management System ideas:
  • A place to put up rules of a clan outside of the Message of the Day system and have it be accessible in the clan page anytime.
  •  Better Clan Log system  to operate more like a Audit Log.
  • With influx of clan roles within the last year and a half more clan ranks would be nice to have
  • Changing color names on clan chat to easily identify someone who is a certain rank in a clan. This would only be changeable by clan warlords. A thread showing the idea linked here.
  • Instead having a fabricator role; there should be a setting to allow and not allow certain things in clan research to be replicable depending on what rank you are in a clan.
     
• Dojo:
  • Foundry in the Dojo?
  • Custom Obstacle Course increase decoration limit;
  • Decrease the resource costs of Dojo Decorations
  • Any plans for a Target Practice Room for the Dojo or to have moving targets like moving floating circles in the custom obstacle course room in the Dojo?
  • Any plans on more Nature-Themed rooms and Decorations for the Dojo?
  • Changeable statues in Temple of Honor;
  • Are Infested theme decorations going to be added at some point?

[SmilingMad]

It's been a while since you've introduced the first batch signature weapon bonuses. What about the remaining ones that do not have them yet? Any info on progress?

[xXDeadsinxX]

Will we ever be able to obtain the Ayatan Sculpture from Old Man Suumaat’s table in Cetus?

[LoopStricken]

1)
Operators. Nice eye textures. Awful skin textures. And what's going on with the back of the neck?!
(also, I don't have a picture of it, but the new hairstyles don't even connect to the head model on my operator, they float about an in-game inch or two away from the scalp)

 

2)
With the news that Umbra will get a 'Prime Toggle', could we also allow Umbra and Excalibur Prime to share cosmetics?

 

3)
Can we please have the Grineer dogs removed from Adaro/Sedna, or at least have them be properly deafened by Banshee's Silence? Maybe this was intentionally added to trip up people farming it for Focus, but it's so counter-intuitive. Dog units are generally more sentitive to sound, so they should be MORE affected by Silence and unable to alert anyone, breaking the stealth kill multiplier.

 

4) More appearances from our good friend, the Man In The Wall.
I had ideas. Let them appear as a daily login NPC, maybe. Or, let's say we're modding a warframe or weapon in the armoury. Why not have Wally appear in the background for a few seconds as a blink-and-you-miss-it sort of easter egg?
Or something that invokes this kind of feeling?

 

5) New for Devstream 126, this question:
Are there any secrets in Warframe that nobody has yet discovered? Secret rooms, easter eggs, things of that ilk?

6) New for Devstream 129, this question:
What if, upon crafting a weapon, we could place a version as an Orbiter decoration?

[Vlada91]

And what is about new Ash Deluxe skin??? And I don't think we care about fat & furious.... Deluxe is what we need 😁

[Sablesword]

Can we get an option to sort relics and prime parts by whether they're vaulted? 

[fellow1]

With energy color changes update and ephemera as new cosmetic would it be possible for bullet jump mods (like Lightning Dash; Toxic Flight; Battering Maneuver; Piercing Step...) to be color changeable (to be dependent on frame's energy color)? 
As example: I want to make Volt in sith style (with red color energy), but Lightning Dash ruins color consistency. Another example - I made Nezha with Empyrean skin to be green guardian lion (green-blue energy) and now if I want to use Firewalker I have to change energy to "natural fire" color. Same goes to Saryn, Frost, Ember.

[Quarterdane]

• Will we be able to play the Shawzin in operator mode?
• Will Umbra ever get additional Orbiter behaviour for when the player is in operator mode (e.g. following the operator around, examining a console/decoration, interacting with a companion, listening to the operator play the shawzin...)?

[(XBOX)EvolvedMonkey97]

Will modular archwings bring new arcanes as with the Exodias for Zaws and Pax for Kitguns?
