Finishing melee re-work

[(PSN)thegarada]

When is melee rework will be complete? This includes:

Exilus slots.

Exalted weapons.

There was a mention of a new additional system before. Not sure if this is still on the table or not.

Bro...I'm not sure how to tell you this, but it looks like its done at the moment. Really the only thing I think needs tweaking is exalted weapons, they are a bit...bunk.

I hope exalted melee gets reworked into Garuda-style melee weapons, with new ultimates replacing them as abilities.

Channeling is still missing.

I thought that was removed, isnt that why I hardly see next to no channeling mods.

It was being reworked to something else, but they haven't talked about it much yet. It's still in the works AFAIK though.

You think they'll ever bring it back?

I am pretty certain Exilus for melee was confirmed on dev stream.

In a different way than it was, yes. But I think they changed the name to something I can't really recall.

Presumably this, from the melee revision notes back in October:

THE FUTURE

14. Lastly: Channeling 2.0 AKA “Rage Mode”
There has been a lot of discussion around this addition, and while it will not be included in the Phase 2 update, there is a lot of work being put into its application. This system is very special and we want to make sure that it is not just a cool addition, but that it has roots in Warframes lore, and a story behind it. This is something we want to implement with a lot of in-game fanfare and details will become available as progress is made.

Hello 911 yes this guy. Arrest him. He is armed and dangerous.

It ended up being reworked into dedicated heavy attacks which deal bonus damage and extra effects based on your combo meter. Channeling as it existed before is not coming back, and I've seen nothing to suggest that's being worked on.

It has never been confirmed to the best of my knowledge. They simply haven't discounted it. The official line on Melee 3.0 was that no further changes would be made to it for the foreseeable future. Once melee metas settle down and enough metrics can be had, Melee Exilus might be revisited.

Literally above you, sourced 😛 Granted it can be confusing, since it's not Channeling 2.0 and it's a new system entirely, but this is what's supposed to replace it 🙂

Thanks! This is exactly what I was referring to 😄
