.Nabu. Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 They just showed in the devstream how the Kuva Larvling shows what weapon they will have before we kill them and start the grind for them. I would love if they add if the Larvling has an ephemera or not because that's what some of us are interested in farming. That way, the farm and the rng is still there as well as it removes the chance of us missing an ephemera because we did not know if the Larvling had one. Let me know what you guys think \o/. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TARINunit9 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 If at all possible (and it is, since Scrambus enemies work this way), I think it would be cool if the Larvling was wielding its Lich weapon rather than just the generic placeholder Karak. Like if Larvlings could wield an Ogris, and then turns into a Lich with the Kuva Ogris 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But perhaps the current proposition is a placeholder for such a thing? As for it showing the ephemera...same thing with the gun. The larvaling should have the ephemera on them rather than a generic pop up. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The larvaling should have the ephemera on them rather than a generic pop up. While it would be a lot more immersive to simply have the larvling carry the relevant gun, I can see why they went with this popup icon - it's a lot harder to mistake, and much easier to tell what gun you're going to get at a glance. I mean, imagine you kill your larvaling in a dark tile and you can't really see what gun they had. Is it a hind? A karak? A chakhurr? At least this way you know what exactly you're going to get weaponwise without having to squint at it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trst Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Considering the new transfer system there is now a real reason to farm all duplicates for the ones you use, plus I'm not sure if they mentioned it in the stream but they previously mentioned doubling the Ephemera chance (again). Which should make it a 1 in 5 chance of seeing an Ephemera. So it honestly doesn't seem necessary except for people who've, for some reason, went and grinded/bought all 60% weapons already. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make sense for the larvling to have an innate thing that absorbs the damage and turns that element into the ephemra we want 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, I just feel incredibly unlucky lately since the only ephemra i got was one that i bought, been farming liches for a while and haven't gotten one yet and getting a 26% ogris kind of made me take a break from the game because i dont want to dumb time and resources into that until the update drops at least. the reason behind my suggestion is that in a way it lessens the rng but keeps it since we still have to run a mission (most likely adaro) until we get what we want. I dont mind if they keep the same odds, i will keep running adaro until i get my ephemera which would feel rewarding once i actually get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically give a visual indicator, would require some more animations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)robotwars7 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 would be nice. also.. did anyone see a Grineer Bow on the cards as a new Lich weapon? it sounds like a Lenz that thinks it's a Kulstar, but it could be pretty fun I reckon!

MorteNexus13 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I think that more than the ephemera, the Kuva Larving should show the element. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure if i am picking up what you mean, if you are talking about the weapon element, that depends on what warframe you kill the larvling with as it is not rng. or are you talking about the larvling shooting using the element?

nslay Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 OK, it would be a nice addition... but after you kill the larvling, you need to a guaranteed death to makeup for cheating the grind... and also, because it makes the game artificially more difficult if you just die for no reason. Also, the spawn chance of the larvling needs to go from guaranteed to 1% to make it too grindy again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IggySnow Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 i made the suggestion that when you kill the larvling it becomes the litch you will fight, but with a kuva effect, waiting for you to parazon it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already know that the element isn't random. I just say that if someone is doing a Grineer mission for some reason and a Kuva larving appears, it would be useful to show an icon with the element that the weapon will have (depending on the warframe, obviously).
