im interested in the changes and reworks to stuff, more build diveristy means more ways to play

That one is a positive thing also the reward changes would be interesting. The shield gating overall seems okay and the way to bypass self damage but I personally never had problem with that.

Actually the shield, armor, hp changes would be interesting for me and I welcome the status mods buffs but probably few weapons will use these as mandatory. The shotgun status per changes is reminds me the current ignis how it works.

Overall seems positive to me.

Oh the new AM-Bunny concept ?

Btw amazing work ^.^

yea i agree it was more positive in the cleanup idea, the shield gating the armor scales, separate tenno stats, changes to arcanes and lots of things in general like status i see as good moves forward 

though steves use of "entropy" cringed me as entropy is chaos that ever expands, if you clean something it makes more entropy not reverse it (little physics tiff)

Woah that's fast overview. Thanks Mako !

That arcane grace change is so infuriating. Nerfing good arcanes doesn’t make me want to use a worse option. It makes me not want to even play.

Tennocon may be an online only thing?

Well, thay sucks.  Now I'm not sure I want to buy my airline ticket this far ahead.  (Ya know, when it's not $1,000+  ;-;)

You tell me Ramens with cheese curds are a pain to ship LOL

Honestly hope it wont be online the First year i'm actually able to go.

Well it just seems extremely counter productive to reduce enemy armor scaling, allowing players to kill higher leveled enemies, only to then make methods of player survival worse, so that they can’t even reach those higher levels.

[Redfeather75]

I really like the shield gating and weakpoint overflow mechanics coming for corpus. Will motivate me to shoot the fanny packs more on moas. 😄

We'll see how the balance plays out, we do need balance and in order for that the see-saw effect will take place. Some will be displaced during this time, but hopefully if DE is diligent we will have a better semblance of balance, and  might even get a 'challenging endgame" for vets.

[Aldain]

If I'm reading that chart right it would stand to be that armor will now start better than it was before 70 but plateau out post 70 instead of SPIKING TO THE GODDAMN MOON like it previously did.

I for one welcome this, also the shielding ideas are nice, though 25% flat reduction with gating might swing the pendulum a bit far in the other direction, we'd need to see that being tested out to really know because napkin math doesn't factor in evasion all that well. Though Slash not going through Shields is a good change imo, makes Corpus good against something that the Grineer aren't.

"Self-damage interrupts" If I'm understanding that right it means that the blowback is going to be a stagger based on some factors of the weapon, excuse me while I throw a parade for DE.

The detailed changes to player side calculations are a good idea, having them interlocked with enemy calculations has been a problem for far too long. Same with the Infested packing a bigger punch, makes them something that you don't just unga-bunga through with a sharp object.

The Arcane changes don't really effect me, but boy is the salt gonna be real on that subject.

Excavation Scaling, I have but one word, HALLELUJAH.

Vauban Armor buff, about damn time.

Trimming the fat in the drop tables, also about damn time.

Multi-status application and status changes: I have concern about shotguns all turning into the Khom, but otherwise am hopeful. Also the basic status chance mods not being a joke is a change for the better.

Grenade indicator: THANK GOD I hated playing a game of "find the beeping" to avoid those things.

Looking over the Railjack changes in the other thread I see nothing but complaints from "veterans" who already have built everything and waited the full time, I for one welcome the change if only because it remaining obtuse does nothing but drive players away when they see what they need for the new game mode.

Overall I hope they can deliver on these things and fully welcome our new Hildryn overlords.

Bear in mind, this affects Sortie and Veil level enemies, which I imagine are the main intent, alongside future-proofing. Don't forget they've said that they don't design around endurance runs. Plus there's the fact that it makes balancing easier overall now that we aren't dealing with EHP deviation that resembles the difference between Final Fantasy and Paper Mario.

 

 

Overall, I'm very  happy with this devstream. Warframes foundations have been creaking for a while now, and only shaking more and more with every new thing added. DE using the opportunity of their year of themed content (i.e. New War) to go back and do some maintainance is a very good sign.
