Scarlet Spear: 27.3.12

[Ikusias]

So, Titania Prime is to remain half finished as is?

Ok the objective difficulties due to the current situation but damn... it's 4 times in a row that you guys just do "comsetic touchups" and what should have been "day 1 hotfixes"

She wasn't getting collision recoil before her latest patch, and now along with that we also have Diwata targeting enemies' toes and faceplanting Titania in the ground for consecutive staggers... thx DE

Since they changed her flight mode to remove the aproximation of inertia I've stopped using Razorwing Blitz, with my usual builds would be like suffering the effects of a max power Volt's and Wisp's buffs, making Razorwing completely uncontrollable due to the lack of pogressive acceleration: you stand/fly still or you move 150km/h... into the nearest wall

I too want 6 degrees of fredom controls as an option for razorwing and archwing... getting stuck when facing upwards or downwards while tracking enemies is asinine.

What archwing would need is an artificial horizon indicator much like the old Zone of the enders series of games, to prevent player disorientation in full 3d movement

Also there still no answer to why Razorwing can't interact with consoles, downed allies, parazon enemies etch... all things that archwing can do in all underwater tiles in uranus and in both landscapes: Cetus and Fortuna - needing to translate to operator or abandoning razorwing stinks of "you play the way we decide you to play" on DE side

(when Titania was orginally presented in dewstream, one of the developers was very empathically against letting players keep her permanently in razorwing, from there all the stumbling blocks apparently to renewing razorflies without recasting the entire ability and all the other annoyances sprinkled in her kit until now) .

also there's still all this laundry list of crap that is STILL unaddressed even with her prime access ongoing:

 

Titania Prime still present issues that make prime access less than palatable, compared to her deluxe is significantly expensive and offers much less:

 Razorwing skirt wings look bad and/or incomplete: they are missing articulation and the energy effects used in her razorflies: each "wing" is clearly made of

                                        multiple parts, meant to spread open  with the void area each part filled with the same effect of her razorflies.

                                        Energy trail starting from Titania's lover back looks chap as well and incongruent... should be two trails, one per wing

                                        Deluxe skin is clearly superior: each section of the skirt opens for razorwing and has a gorgeous energy effect on the inside.

Razorwing emissive wings are cute but aren't togglable and can be quite a visual nuisance based on energy color, and make skirt wings look even worse

Front Skirt: Titania prime lost the two ugly dangling parts on the tips of her skirt but added two "side bananas" that look quite ugly and seem untextured.

                                        They could be animated in razorwing to behave as canard wings instead of just... dangle there.

Color channels separation:  her primary color is too invasive at nearly 80% of her frame texture, it's too little color separation and hamstrings customization;

                                        Gold accents/metallics on the body are mainly on the docked razorflies, this prime is less adorned/prime than its base version...

                                        Things improve a bit with the solstice skin: it adds metallic areas on her secondary channel, and more emissive areas on the body...

                                        Still, needing to apply a different skin to a new prime for better color separation and customization is embarassing to say the least.

Razorflies wing color is dependant on energy instead of emissive, it forces to choose between fashion and powers visibility: colors that would be good for visibility

                                        on tribute are bad on her armour and viceversa;

Armour accessoriest: Most chest armors fit badly and clash with her look, most get grotesquely upscaled, only edo prime "grill" looks half decent to me.

                                        Arm accessories have issues with her shoulder guards, most pieces leave a gap or clip with the shoulders

                                        Legs accessories: most pieces that cover the front won't look good due to not being scaled right for a thin limb;

                                        Left nidina leg plates look particularly bad with its upper leg plate awkardly positioned on thefront skirt.

Siandana: many have huge clipping and/or phisics issues with titania prime, currently my prisma Uru siandana remains flopping down while in razorwing at any

                                        speed, probably due to a bug in its cloth phisics

Chest emblem placement is problematic due to most emblems getting lost in her cleavage or not "flowing" with her torso;

"Walking" noble animation looks incomplete: it's evidently repurpuosed from wisp's with less hips swinging, "feels" and looks stiff as if lacking animation frames here

                                         and there and the fact that her skirt wings don't do anything, don't open, don't spread, it really needs refining.

                                         Dash, rolling and other maneuvers look bad due to using the standard walking animations

Exalted weapons: Diwata prime is virtually identical to her standard version while Dex Pixia prime simply deleted the side flanges of the standard version.

                                         No option to use her standard skins or the deluxe skins.

                                         Diwata prime looks horrid in Razorwing when tucked under the wing, too big and disproportionate.

                                         Razorwing melee currently targets enemy anckles, stunning Titania with ground collisions and generally missing the attack!

                                         No stat improvements from vanilla Titania's weapons... I would have expected something more here as is the norm for primed weapons!,

                                         Still no access to Acolite mods, Set mods don't work, no exilus slot or kuwa weapon-like extra capacity, no additional effects/mecanics.

Prime Helmet: this is the only point were DE really nailed things compared to her standard default is much more interesting

 

Powers rework: were? after 3 separate passes all we got was a series of quality of life improvements that should have been there when the Silver Grove was introduced.

                           Lantern while finally functional could have been made into a combined function of spellbind and tribute freeing up a power slot.

                           Tribute now has 1 buff and 1 debuff relevant but its effects are still completely unmoddable, and why entangle doesn't affect all enemy actions?

                                Tribute "souls" have no actual use in game except making the buffs more annoying to use: they could be the focus for lantern using spelbind on them

                                 Casting a tribute on a lantern should add its effect to it similar to placing Wisps' buffs

                            Razorflies should be detached from razorwing and become their own slot, with behaviour controlled similarly to Venari and Celestial twin.

                                 Casting razorflies on a spellbound enemy or a tribute could be the new way to recreate the current lantern, adding synergies in her kit.

                            Razorwing could benefit from improved stealth when not attacking: currently using it in spy or stealth missions is impossible due to razorflies interference

                                  and makes poor sense that enemies home in on someting 10 cm tall more than a full sized archwing or frame;

                                  Also it would be time to "fix" the inability of razorwing of interacting with consoles, downed allies, doing parazon finishers etc

                            Exalted weapons feel worse than regular weapons due to being denied access to several advanced mods, exilus slot, arcanes, extra modding capacity

                                 Dex Pixia need better innate fire rate or critical rate and a general improvement to its prime version

                                 Diwata needs the ability of hitting multiple targets or to hit harder and stun lock single targets, feels barely usable as is.

                                (or let it lock to headshot by default... its damage is so mediocre even razorflies do better currently - don't nerf the flies buff the blade!)

 

Tl:Dr ok the issues with Covid-19, but Titania Prime's prime access feels one of the worst so far in terms of actual effort from the studio.

          The accessories are underwhelming with only the archwing skin being interesting while the siandana is not only ugly but doesn't fit with Titania prime in neither form

          Currently I'd rather spend plat on her deluxe than money on her prime access...

Obrigado por um hotfix.

Scarlet Spear precisa de uma reestruturação que desconecte a atividade do jogador de recompensas, ritmo e disponibilidade.

Incentivar os jogadores a pular nas flotilhas para um pagamento ideal de saques também é ruim:

Este evento precisa promover a participação nos dois modos, além de ter um ritmo independente. O mecânico 100/100 não tem nada de bom nisso, o Squad Link é apenas um Chat de Região glorificado, e a dependência dos Esquadrões Terrestres para os Esquadrões Espaciais é irritante por ser educada.

the guy complaining about several flotillas being that in my region it only reaches 3 to 100 rest all in 1 because the DE separated the servers by region
