Lordmotav Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Now hear me out on this one. We all know melee is kinda lackluster and very situational. For the most part, my Strun Wraith can do anything my melee weapon can, but from further away and without endangering myself. I love my Gram to death, but most of the time it was just a back accessory. I used it to open crates and sometimes Id charge in and swing for a little bit-knowing that I was being inefficient anyways. But Galatine is a good melee weapon. It's big. It can hit really hard. Properly modded, it overcomes it's speed issue. ANd when swarmed, I can hit/kill enough of your attackers to make it a viable option. (whereas before... I would just spam the trigger while trying to jump out of a mob) But that's the thing, DE didnt want to just CHANGE melee all around. Afterall it's in a sad kinda state as is, no reason to anger players because they want to see how something works. So I think they made Galatine different on PURPOSE. They made it easy to buy, easy to craft, and easy to use while being REALLY effective. And that's the thing: it's on par with gun play. Instead of aiming down my sights at close range I actually bust my baby out and chop people in half instead... and it's just as effective. Im not hampering my kill/time ratio by using melee attacks. I hope Im right and that this was a more subtle experiment to see how mega buffed melee would work out, because it makes it a very viable option. Just sayin DE.

ChaoticVice777 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 It's an experiment at sidegrades; the other heavy melee weapons deal half the damage for (possibly under) double the charge +swing animation speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theasl Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 The whole game is "beta" This game is in "beta" as much as Google was in beta for most of its existence. Which is to say, not really at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katakuna Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Well, if this experiment means that all other melee weapons will be super buffed to be worth more than single-ply toilet paper, I won't complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayden11121 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Why not just buff every other sword instead of release one really strong one? Even now, I still feel the damage my Galatine does barely worth it unless invisible or low on ammo. Even then I'd still most likely prefer my trusty twin gremlins.

Althix Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 because let say i have catalyst and 2 formas in my scindo. next day: galatine - you need to catalyst it and forma it at least once. and so on and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faesarn Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 It might be an experiment.. let's just hope they learn from it tho.. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RX-74 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Melee is best used against the ''monsters'' that have no firearms in order to save ammo. I wouldn't melee enemies that shoots at me unless they are very close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix86 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Obviously it is an experiment, it is the first of its class, no other weapon has similar stats! Pretty much like Soma/Synapse being the first rifles with effective crit build avaiable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weizhen77 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 This game is still beta. Basically everything is still an experiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganwybas Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) Actually there is no difference between beta and release. So in the minds of developers. The product is already done, just filled and improving. The rest excuse for lawyers , the phrase "the game is just a beta" as a justification popular sounds Edited October 4, 2013 by JDante Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZWarhammer Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Galatine showed us melee weapons could actually be useful IF they were made bloody useful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taiiat Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 disclaimer: i read zero words in the actual thread. yes. my reasoning? everything in Warframe is an experiment. that's the way it's being developed. different things are tried, to find a solution to each problem that fits best.
