Recommended Posts

DEV NOTE:  Because so much is changing by design with THE OLD BLOOD, we want to be clear on how we’re handling your feedback. The majority of week 1-2 Hotfixes will speak to feedback. We want to combine feedback and stats together to iterate. To be a part of the feedback conversation please be constructive and clear (expand the spoilers below for a guide on how to write feedback), and most importantly, patient.

HOW TO WRITE FEEDBACK: 

1. Keep it simple
Write simple, directed points about the topic you feel strongly about. Remember to be constructive and to the point.

2. Back it up
Support your points with concrete points. X has better stats than Y. This ability is less useful when considering X. Provide in-game situational evidence or a solid foundation for your argument to rest upon.

3. Be polite

The best feedback occurs when two people discuss opposing viewpoints to find a constructive middle ground. Discussion is a natural part of feedback! Ensuring that it is polite and without personal attacks is key. We’re far less inclined to listen to feedback filled with personal attacks and rude speech. We are all trying our best!

The Forums can be an amazing tool when used correctly. We look forward to hearing your thoughts on Grendel, how to acquire him, and his signature weapon! 

 

There’s nothing wrong with first reactions - but relearning takes time. We are especially interested in feedback from players who have taken time to understand The Old Blood. Thank you!

This thread will be used to house your feedback on the Melee Phase 2: STATS changes from The Old Blood: Update 26.

If you would like to read up on all the Melee Phase 2: TECHNIQUES changes and provide feedback, please visit the dedicated Melee Phase 2: TECNIQUES Feedback Megathread.

8.            Weapon Stats and Mastery Limits

With this new change, there is a broad-sweeping review of Melee weapons and how they function with the new system: 

  • Mastery Rank - Weapons have been reviewed to make sure their function and power are aligned with an appropriate Mastery Rank, similar to passes made on Primary and Secondary weapons.
  • Base Damage - Since the Combo Multiplier will apply to Heavy Attacks only, the base damage of all melee weapons has significantly increased.
  • Base Range - Along with damage, range has also been increased to make sure you get the most chop for your buck. While base range is being increased, Range Mods are going to have a different calculation applied to them. This is detailed in Section 9.
  • Mod and Arcane Channeling Functionality - As mentioned above, any Mods or Arcanes with functionality tied to Channeling have had their stats altered to increase Lifted Status, Heavy Attack damage and Combo Counter modifiers.

As a general note, self damage has been removed from Glaive power throws. As this decision made it through the testing pipeline, some mentioned this impacts a specific Chroma interaction, but positively impacts 41 other Warframes. 

 

More specifically, the Power Throw Mod has been changed to not create explosions when hitting an object or enemy on its last bounce, it solely offers a Punchthrough addition.

9.            Mod Re-balancing and Functionality Changes

Since the base damage of melee is being buffed, some notable Mods are getting a balance and/or functionality pass. With the wide amount of changes happening to Channeling and Heavy Attacks, some Mods have had to be reworked into other systems or have had changes to the way their damage scales.  

For full transparency, some of these are nerfs to specific Mods, but we felt these were necessary to truly allow Phase 2 to be treated as a new beginning for melee. Our intention is to create engaging melee and Modding variety, which is not possible when there is a one-best loadout or single Mod that can kill almost anything in the game. We love killing things effectively, but we also want the combat to be engaging and feel powerful. Spin attacks still exist, but the repetition of them is something we’re trying not to force you to use. To reiterate: select tools made Spin attacks optimal at the cost of the more interesting Melee system, and we’re trying to rectify that.  

At the moment, the current list of Mods and their proposed changes are listed below.

  • All Channeling Mods - have been changed to the Melee Parent type to bring them in line with Melee Phase 2 changes
  • Amalgam Organ Shatter - Will be changed from Charge Attacks to Heavy Attacks.
  • Blood Rush - Will now scale differently, using a stacking multiplier based on the Combo Counter, raising 60% per Combo Counter tier (something much easier to achieve in Phase 2).
  • Condition Overload - Now uses a stacking multiplier based on how many Status Effects are on the target at 120% damage per Status.
    • During this whole Melee rebalance, Condition Overload remained a persistent outlier. Since launch, it has had an unintended stacking mechanic, that nothing else uses in the game: it grew exponentially, making it too volatile to balance. We know there’s nothing worse than ‘how can you call this unintended’, so let’s explain the history: initially it did the stacking on final damage, which, as you know from previous changes, we have been trying to move away from. This is because this type of stacking makes for very hard to control damage progression, and tends to be very confusing as to which damage, Melee/Proc etc, applies where. This new version of the mod makes Condition Overload’s damage multiplication become equal to Pressure Point when the enemy has 1 Status applied, better than Primed Pressure Point at 2 Statuses applied, and from there it just grows and grows. Even though the maximum potential damage is lower now, we think it is still an extremely powerful Mod in its latest iteration.
    • The new ‘Lifted’ Status also counts for Condition Overload calculation. Revised Stances and the new Heavy Attack give reliable ways of applying Status to enemies, which greatly increases the reliability of Condition Overload
    • Spoiler

      70357b78c5c2cba9bad1df0dc9a95525.png 

  • Corrupt Charge - Adds a large amount to the Combo Counter, but significantly reduces the time it takes for the Combo Counter to drain.
  • Covert Lethality - is remaining as a Dagger Mod for now with +16 Initial Combo and 100% Finisher damage, pending later review. (Note: This has changed from what was laid out in the recent Dev Workshop)
  • Dispatch Overdrive - Increases player movement on a Heavy Attack hit.
  • Enduring Affliction - Increases the Status Chance on enemies suffering from the Lifted Status.
  • Enduring Strike - Increases the Combo Counter chance when hitting Lifted enemies.
  • Focus Energy - Add Electrical damage to an attack, as well as increasing Combo Counter generation.
  • Focused Defense - Adds an additional 20 degrees to a weapons blocking angle.
  • Gladiator Mod Set - Adds a multiplier with the Combo Counter up to 60% for the whole set.
  • Guardian Derision - Will add more to the Combo Counter for blocking hits. (Note: The Taunt mechanic is still in place.)
  • Killing Blow - Increases Heavy Attack damage and decreases the ‘wind-up’ time for Heavy Attacks
  • Life Strike - Heavy Attacks will now regenerate Health.
  • Maiming Strike - Changes from an additive buff to a stacking buff, but base functionality increased 150%. 
  • Quickening - Grants +40% Attack Speed, +20% Combo Count Chance
  • Reach / Primed Reach - Will now increase range in a way that has been normalized. In the previous incarnation, long-range weapons were getting too much of a benefit, while short-range weapons were barely seeing any increase at all.
  • Reflex Coil - Increased Combo Point Efficiency when using Heavy Attacks.
  • Reflex Guard - +100% Combo Count Chance while Blocking.
  • Spring-Loaded Blade - Will now provide a maximum of 3 additional stacks of Melee Range.
  • True Punishment - Add 40% Critical Chance, but reduces the chance to add to the Combo Counter by -10%
  • Weeping Wounds - Increases Status chance in a Stacking Multiplier, 40% per combo tier.

This update will also see some changes to the following Weapon, Arcane and Focus School buffs: 

  • Zenurik - Inner Might - Has been changed to provide 60% Combo Efficiency, instead of Channeling Efficiency.
  • Synoid Heliocor, Furax Wraith and Fragor Prime - All receive bonus initial Combo Count to offset the boosted Channeling Damage they had previously.
  • Exodia Triumph Arcanes - Have been changed to +50% chance to increase the Combo Counter on hit.
  • Exodia Valor Arcanes - Have been changed to +200% chance to increase Combo Count when hitting Lifted Enemies.
  • Exodia Brave Arcanes - Now grants +5 Energy Generation when killing an Enemy with a Heavy Attack. This can stack up to 3 times. 

Again, some of these changes are subject to review and change. Now that Melee Rework: Phase 2 has been rolled out, there will surely be additional balance passes as usability and effectiveness are used (or abused).

Kogake has an abnormally low Heavy Slam Attack.

Primed Pressure Point, Primed Fever Strike, Shocking Touch. 1081 damage.

Considering Dark Dagger's Heavy Slam is 616 damge clean with no mods, something really seems screwy with the Kogake.

edit: Yeah, the Kogake's base heavy slam is 120. That can't be right.

Condition Overload being additive with Pressure Point makes the latter unwanted and obsolete on any weapon that can do status at least a little.

With two procs CO is at 240%, or 3.4x base damage done. Primed Pressure Point will increase that to 4.95x, which is only a 45% increase in damage at the cost of a mod slot, and improvement becomes smaller the more procs you add. And getting to two procs is really simple - most weapons don't even need to use their status chance for that because stances provide forced procs.

The sudden change in the stat's value is especially detrimental to Rivens. Previously Melee Damage was a solid roll, now it's quite undesirable.

While I can understand the reasoning behind making CO not be multiplicative with itself, it should still be multiplicative pressure point, or pressure point should be buffed to sit somewhere in the middle between CO's minimum performance and maximum expected (as in, when not jumping through a lot of hoops to get as many procs on an enemy as is humanly possible) performance.

Could you please provide a bit more info about the new Blood Rush mechanics? Previously I was able to get consistent orange crits above 2.5x, now crits are still yellow at max counter (same weapon without crit chance change). I did the math, and there is a discrepancy between my in game experience, and the values i got... 🤔

so i guess this might be a bug but melee combos now only have 1 attack for most the weapons and red crits are only hitting double digest and i guss like the  combo swings or normal swing animations dropped from  about 12 different wing animations to only 2 total  for every weapon and keep getting stuck in animaitons and cant roll out of them the moment i tap the melee button a single time except for some single handed weapons it doesnt happen with but ya a bunch issues started and can tab melee and start a melee combo and then roll mid air lunching your self endlessly into the sky

This is why I felt that the original idea of limiting CO to 3 stacks was a good one. Right now CO's only been made not-utterly-broken in its bonus, but it's still basically mandatory.

Very flashy attacks? Yes. I’d even say that the new melee attacks are superficially fun for 30 minutes. But effectiveness? Greatly reduced.  Now melee attacks are much ineffective, have many stops/pauses and move awkwardly. Why why why you want to nerf it to the ground? 


The best parts of melee 2.0 are destroyed. The flash attacks and slightly increased damage in the new update can’t make up for it. 

The overall fun factor of melee system is greatly reduced. 

 

What’re the next and most fun/powerful things/weapons in Warframe getting nerfed?

Imo the melee system is now a bunch of flashy toy melees with pathetic damages and more problems. If something doesn’t break, don’t fix it. DE broke the best parts of melee 2.0.

Fury: V polarity - 9 drain - +30% attack speed

Gladiator Vice: V Polarity - 9 drain - 30% attack speed + set bonus

Primed Fury: V polarity - V polarity - 14 drain - 55% attack speed

Quickening (Changed): V polarity - 9 drain - 40% attack speed + 20% combo chance

 

Seems like Fury (which was already outperformed by Gladiator Vice) has been heavily outperformed by Quickening . Fury needs to have a decrease in drain to a max of 7 while maintaining the current 30% attack speed to allow people to fit it in cheaper builds.

so far, i'm not much enthusiastic with the new 'heavy attack' at cost of the old 'channeling'. i might have been one of the few players who actually used channeling often and had multiple weapons build for this effect and therefore can't see much use of the heavy attack for anything but real high level enemies (that are those with lvl200++) or some boss-type ones in the mid-range (about lvl100, sortie style). losing the whole combo with just one heavy attack, regardless of how fast it's build up again, makes it pointless to use 'casual' during a mission - especially since the animation for the heavy attack takes far too much time in most scenarios...

don't get me wrong, i like having an option for such heavy attacks, but with my arsenal of weapons i see no need for anything like it when normal attacks can easily kill enemies in one swing... i just would rather have an option for both, heavy attack and channeling - that is all. and, as for channeling: stealth killing is now even more a pain in the arѕe since we can't make those corpses 'disapear' fast like we could with active channeling - or will there be a parazon mod for it? if not, take this as an inspiration for one ^^)

condition overload is trash

range on polearms and staves are trash

heavy attacks are basically useless and arent worth having

thanks for making melee worse, fix or revert either would be great

At least the new and ineffective melee system looks very FLASHY.

It has been said that stacking combo multiplier is much easier now, but that seens to be completely untrue. It takes much longer for it to get going to get much meager rewards from mods such as Blood Rush and Weeping Wounds. Whereas before you were able to get a 1.5 combo going at 5 hits to gain 1.5 times the benefit from these mods, now it takes 20 to get one time the benefit, In fact, for one to get a similar benefit from a 1.5 combo BR as it was before, you need a 5 stack combo with 80 hits! And that is considering that the mods seen to be effecting only the base stat and not the overall one. It is easier to reach higher counts of combo, but much slower to reach low combo counts.

Now, what puzzles me is that, the combo system was remade in order to fit heavy attacks in it; and for what? For an attack that will (definitely) kill one mob in a game in which you kill thousands every match? Why is it that, as they get higher, combo multipliers are given in shorter intervals rather than the contrary? I don't think this works at all.

*

Has anyone else tested weeping wounds yet? To me it doesn't seen to be working at all. Even a high status weapon such as the Ohma won't give a guaranteed proc during a 12x Combo.

Some ranges werent buffed while some werent nerfed. E.g. Idea between gram vs galatine was gram has more damage but less range, now they are the same.
Also someone accidentally reduced the range of whips twice because a 10m rope now barely hits 5m (i expected a nerf to hit 7m with prime reach) in addition to making Burning Wasp stance completely derp. Base attack is no longer 2 diagonal swipes while the forward attack actually animation locks you in place. Only forward block is correct being a gap closer.

Mathematically (before animation clumsiness added in this update) melee weapons are significantly now much less capable of competing with primaries and secondaries. This effectively eliminates most melee from the competitive gameplay balance. So either DE needs to also nerf primary and secondary damage to a third of what it is now, restore the global damage bonus from combo or triple the damage of all melee weapons from the scaled base damage of their new values or some combination therein. Taking melee well below the efficacy of gunplay also kind of defeats the whole "space ninja" thing overall.

First impression: The new stats, damage-wise, feel overpowered in normal missions and "lacking" in higher leveled ones. Before the Update my trusty Tonbo would work fine in Arbitrations and Sorties, once it reached Damage*3, now it's basically locked at Damage*2 and feels like it lacks any punch in Arbitrations (the new FX and Sounds might be a bit responsible for the feeling, but given that I have to "dance" around enemies longer than before, this might be not the whole story).

On top of this, I can't see me using heavy attacks at all. On normal missions (level<50) the new improved melee weapon stats kill normal enemies without a need for a heavy attacks. And against most bosses they feel useless. Even if they can hit the right spots at all (Lephantis is basically out of the Picture I guess), It takes to long to use it reliable in their vulnerable phases (say the moment, a juggernaut exposes it's belly, or the split-seconds Mutalist-Alad-V becomes vulnerable).  On higher level Missions a heavy attack takes to much time, locking me in an animation that let's me exposed and hits 1-2 enemies at best. I'm not using Maiming Strike, but I'd rather "copter" around the enemies a bit longer, than standing still long enough to annihilate a single grunt (A Nox might perhaps the only enemy unit I'd use such an attack on, otherwise it feels like a waste of time and ressources). To me, heavy attacks add nothing to the game.

That's not to say "revert it all back ASAP", but perhaps you might take the new Status Quo to

A) Revamp enemy scaling. A bit tougher at the beginning, a bit softer at the end, perhaps?
B) Give us something interesting to hit with the heavy attacks, say some revamped (field) bosses, or more tough guys like the Noxes, rather than "Do I really want to waste all the combo counter on yet another grunt? Nope.". Perhaps some destructible terrain/doors?
C) Perhaps replace heavy attacks, with "automatically execute a combo of your choice with +X Damage"?
