Update 28: The Deadlock Protocol

 

NEW QUEST: THE DEADLOCK PROTOCOL 

We are Desire. Ours is the grasping golden hand. We. Are. Corpus.

Nef Anyo claims to have found an heir to the long-deceased Corpus Founder, Parvos Granum, and has the means to prove it. The Solaris have begun disappearing in droves and Eudico thinks it has something to do with Nef’s power play. Whoever they are, the heir to the Founder would be able to solve the stalemate and stage a total takeover of the Corpus Board. If Nef Anyo has anything to do with it, that spells bad news for the Solaris.

The Deadlock Protocol sheds new light on the industrious origins of the Corpus, introduces the time-bending Warframe, Protea and includes a remastered Corpus fleet full of innovative threats and escalating security measures. 

To begin The Deadlock Protocol Quest, make sure you have completed the Vox Solaris Quest. The Deadlock Protocol Quest can only be done Solo and you must be at least Mastery Rank 4; ready yourself!

*Players who purchase the Protea Warframe before playing the Quest will receive a Riven as an additional reward.

CORPUS SHIP REMASTER
The entire Corpus fleet has been retrofitted and redeployed for service. Explore remastered levels, complete with shrines to the illustrious Parvos Granum, but beware of new dangers lurking aboard.

 

As you infiltrate Corpus vessels, fight enemies and generally interrupt the pursuit of Grofit, the Corpus will use every piece of their security arsenal to stop you.  Be prepared for upgraded Turrets and such deadly reinforcements as mine-deploying Corpus Treasurers. 

JACKAL REWORK
Return to Fossa to face an upgraded threat. Equipped with a suite of the latest technology and upgraded combat capabilities, the Corpus have spent mind-boggling sums of Credits for the sole purpose of taking you out. 

Experienced Tenno can enjoy seven days of Jackal Sorties following release, where you can take on the reworked Jackal in a high-level area! 

NEW CORPUS ENEMIES!
From ‘Minima Moas’ to ‘Juno’ series of Corpus Troops - take on new threats on the remastered Corpus Fleet! 

GRANUM CROWNS: THE CURRENCY OF CORPUS DEVOTION 

Out of desperation to locate any last trace of the long-dead Founder, Nef Anyo has developed a way to open Void portals. Eudico believes they’ve been kidnapping Solaris to use as guinea pigs and needs your help to rescue them. 

 

The portals are built through Golden Hand Tributes, a spot of profit-worship for faithful Corpus. By spending their Granum Crowns, a valuable manifestation of their devotion, the Corpus can open a rift and send expeditions to Void sites. 

Thankfully, you can use these Granum Crowns to your advantage. Collect three tiers of Crowns from Treasurers in your Missions, each signifying a higher level of devotion than the last: Granum Crown, Exemplar Granum Crown, and Zenith Granum Crown. Use them to initiate challenges in Missions, search for Corpus Temple Reliefs or negotiate the release of Solaris prisoners in exchange for Standing.

Within every Corpus Ship Remastered mission you’ll encounter a Treasurer: A devoted follower of Parvos and all he stood for, willing to dedicate his life to be the keeper of the tokens of his esteem. The Treasurer is guaranteed to spawn within 2 - 4 minutes in a non-endless mission, and between 5 - 8 minutes in an endless mission. The level of your mission determines the tier of Crowns the Treasurer will possess. Handle him with haste before he escapes with his sacred tokens!

Level Tiers are:
0-15: Granum Crown
16-30: Exemplar Granum Crown
31+: Zenith Granum Crown

*Granum Crowns will not appear from Treasurers until you complete The Deadlock Protocol Quest.

 

Granum Crowns can also be spent at the Corpus Temple Reliefs in Missions to learn more about the Founder. Each new story you acquire will earn you Relief Decorations for your Orbiter!

• You can enter the Granum Void once per mission.

Riven Disposition Changes:

When we introduced separate Dispositions for each weapon variant back in November 2019, we planned to give new weapons a Disposition of 1 (the “average”), or matching the lowest member of the weapon family if it already had a Disposition lower than 1. Unfortunately, this meant that powerful new weapons (like the Kuva Lich collection) might have Rivens that start too strong, forcing reductions in accordance with our balance methodology.

In order to prevent this situation, we will be changing this policy: going forward, all new weapons will be released with the minimum Riven Disposition of 0.5. For The Deadlock Protocol, this includes the Dispositions on newly added Primary Kitguns, in addition to regular weapons (secondary Kitgun Dispositions will remain as-is.)

Full details can be found here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1199009-riven-disposition-procedure-for-new-weapons/

New Questions & Answers (Q&A) Chat Channel:

We have added a brand new chat channel to Warframe! The ‘Questions and Answers Chat’ channel is now live to provide new and experienced players a place to seek and provide help in a dedicated and organized way. It will be toggled on by default for all new players entering the game for the first time, while Region Chat will be opt-in and can be enabled from Options. For existing players, your chat settings remain untouched but the Q&A Channel has been enabled on login.

Please read our “Guide to Using the Q&A Channel” before participating in the channel: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1199008-pc-coming-with-deadlock-protocol-new-‘qa’-chat-channel-use-guide/

Many Tenno may wonder what our larger goal is here. We have many motivations for these changes, but one of the strongest is the role Region chat plays our report systems. It may come as no surprise to hear that Region chat is home to the most reports of any channel in Warframe. These reports are reviewed and acted on by the staff here at Digital Extremes, and consequences have always been in place for offensive content. However, some consequences were not strict enough. We are aiming to reset the onboarding experience and chat experience in Warframe by including a new default Q&A channel to provide a dedicated place for players to bring Warframe knowledge to a chatroom in a designated place.

We also aim to clean up Region chat for members who like having a place to simply discuss Warframe. Region chat will be opt-in, and Offensive Language reports dealing with hate speech will have enforcement that is not up for appeal. If you find yourself under account restrictions due to Offensive Language, our stance is very clear here: We have no tolerance. https://digitalextremes.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043974052-Code-Of-Conduct-Respect-for-all-in-Warframe

Pet Companion Stasis Removal:
All Stasis slots have been converted into Companion slots. All your Kubrows and Kavats are now listed upon equipping a Companion in the Arsenal!

Due to no longer having Stasis, if you currently have a pup Companion (not yet Matured), upon equipping it in the Arsenal the UI will prompt you to either Mature or let it roam your Orbiter. The option to let it roam is only available if you don't have a proper Kubrow/Kavat equipped. When starting an Incubation your current roaming Companion will be put away.

• The ‘Nutrio Incubator Update Segment’ now entirely disables DNA degradation!
• The Pets Breed is now displayed beside the Pets name in the description when viewing in the Arsenal.

 

New ‘Update History’ Button!
When accessing the main menu (via ESC or Start), the bottom right will feature an ‘Update History’ button that allows you to get a quick sense of what’s changed since you last logged in! 

General UI Additions & Changes:

• Introducing a new Deadlock UI Theme that goes hand-in-hand with the industrious origins of the Corpus.
  •  
• You can now change your Mouse Cursor Icon, Mouse Cursor Color, and scale your Cursor in size!
• The Landing Craft Customize screen has been decoupled to provide the ability to mix and match your Landing Craft with whichever Override Air Support you want!
  •  
• Star Chart Nodes have been given a fresh new look and functionality upon hover!
  • Hovering over a Node will display a new tileset/accompanying enemy image and gamemode icons respective to the available game modes.
  • Upon clicking a Node that has numerous game modes available, a selector will open within the window for you to choose your game mode.
• Added two new cursor sliders under the Interface tab in your Options to give you more ways to customize and improve how you navigate the UI with a controller to your liking:
  •  UI Cursor Acceleration: Adjust the rate the cursor accelerates when moving in a continuous direction can be changed. 
    • The Sensitivity Option still determines the overall speed of the cursor, while Acceleration gives players the freedom to set how quickly they’d like to get from point A to B. 
  •  UI Cursor Magnetism:  Adjust the level of “magnetism” (“stickiness”) there is between the cursor and interactive elements in the UI. 
    • Before the update, the cursor was set to “stick” to items you pass over by default. It was sometimes helpful but often proved to be an annoyance that prevented you from having reasonable cursor speed on UI windows with many elements. Now, you are able to customize how the cursor “sticks” to these elements. Setting it to “0” simply means that there will be no friction whatsoever between the cursor and the UI elements.
• Added tooltip to Mastery Rank on hover while viewing your Profile to show total Mastery Breakdown per category.
  •  
• Added button to rewatch the Kuva Lich cinematic in the Lich Codex section.  
• Upon visiting a Syndicate in the Relay, the Syndicate donation screen now displays your full Inventory of eligible items, similar to selling Fish in Cetus.
  •  
• Updated a handful of Helmet icons in the in-game Market to better fit the new themed UI.
• Removed the option to set "Battle Pay Caps" in the Alliance Management screen as it is not currently relevant.
• The ‘Reset Decorations’ has been removed from the pause menu and placed in the Decoration mode HUD as ‘Clear All Decorations’.
• Tooltips have been added to Arsenal stats! For example, hovering over ‘Armor’ now gives you an example about what it does.
  •  
• Updated trade windows at merchants in Cetus and Fortuna to use the latest inventory UI. 
  •  
• Added visual separation in Railjack customization screen between all other color settings and the “All Colors” option. 
• Updated the ‘Invasion’ gamemode icon!

Railjack Additions, Changes & Fixes:

• Added “Join Any Crew” option to search for Open Squads in active Railjack missions that you can join in a given Proxima. If there are no open squads, a pop-up will prompt you to try again or launch a new session from your personal Railjack. 
  • We’ve added this feature to save time and keep you from needing to hover over node by node to see if there are active squads on them.  
• Added a ‘Scrap Wreckage’ button to the Railjack Components/ Armaments screens. This removes the step of having to manually go into your Inventory in order view a complete list of Wreckage to Scrap when over the Wreckage limit.
  •  
• Fire hazards that spawn on the Railjack will now directly damage the Ship/Hull directly, instead of getting split between Hull and Shields. This means that even if you have full Shields you'll start taking damage directly to your Railjack if you leave a fire unattended. 
• Fixed loss of functionality when performing a Finisher while inside a Crewship when it explodes.
• Fixes towards inability to use the Archwing Slingshot if two Client players spam the interaction at the same time during a Railjack mission.
• Fixed a case where the End of Mission screen would pop in for a split second when transitioning from a Railjack mission to Dojo.
• Fixed being able to launch Railjack missions from an incomplete Dry Dock (still in construction through Rising Tide) after Host migrating from a mission joined as Clients.
  • This also fixes a related issue of infinite loading tunnels when returning to Dojo after host migration. 
• Fixed Wreckage Capacity not immediately being updated until after exiting and then coming back after using Valence Fusion with Wreckage as one of the components.
• Fixed Railjack Armament stats not displaying properly when viewing the full Railjack stats.
• Fixed a loss of functionality when viewing the Nightwave screen when a squad member returns the Railjack to the Dry Dock.
• Fixed some Railjack POIs having a delayed reaction to your presence (i.e not firing Super Weapon, firing Ram Sleds, etc),
• Fixed being placed next to a POI (if there is one) when skipping the Crewship Archwing exit cutscene.
• Fixed Railjack mesh collapsing when loading into Dry Dock after mission in the “Configure Railjack” panel.
• Fixed a crash when aborting a Railjack mission after another player had also aborted.

General Additions:

• Added new Melee Moa Precept Mods:
  • Blast Shield
    • Overshields increased by +3000. Leap at an enemy within 10m dealing 10 Damage and knocking down other enemies within 5m and resets Overshields.
  • Hard Engage
    • Engages enemies within 10m with Melee attacks, dealing 90 Impact Damage. Melee attacks are enhanced by Mods equipped in the Moa’s weapon.
• Added Conservation Glyphs to The Business and Master Teasonai’s Offerings. Visit Fortuna and Cetus to claim yours!

  • Sacrificial Pressure 
  • Sacrificial Steel 
• Added login milestone reward blueprints (Zenistar, Azima, Zenith, and Sigma & Octantis) to Simaris' Offerings. 
  • Blueprints for each only appear in his Offerings if they have already been previously selected as login rewards. 

General Changes:

• Increased the Riven Capacity limit from 120 to 150.
• The Blazing Step Ephemera has been removed from the Elite Sanctuary Onslaught rewards table and added to two places:
  • Arbitration Honors Store in the Relay
  • Railjack Commander Boss Drop Tables (5%)
    • Out of the growing list of Ephemeras, Blazing Step was the more difficult to obtain due to its drop rate within the Elite Sanctuary Onslaught table. By taking Blazing Step out of the ESO table, the rewards within ESO will normalize and fill in the missing 1.01%. You now have the option to either spend your Vitus Essence in the Arbitrations Honor Store or by bringing demise to Railjack Commanders during your Railjack missions. 
• Increased the amount of invested currency that is refunded for the following: 
  • Dissolving ranked Mods refund more of the invested Endo (75% just like Rivens).
  • Scrapping ranked Avionics refund more of the invested Dirac (75% just like Mods).
• Selling ranked Mods refund more of the invested credits (75% just like Endo).
• The Earth to Mars Junction now awards the Iron Phoenix Stance, and the Earth to Venus Junction now awards the Clashing Forest Stance.
  • This aims to provide new players an easier path to experience the Melee system at an early Star Chart stage. Those who have completed these Junctions will retroactively be given these Melee Stances. 
• Removed Copernics from Mining Nodes on the Orb Vallis and added to Eximus enemies in the Lua tileset.
• Removed Pustrels from Mining Nodes in the Plains of Eidolon and added to Eximus enemies in the Infested Ship tileset.
• The Rank Up FX for Warframes, Weapons, and Companions has been given a refresh! This FX also now applies your chosen Energy color instead of the default.
• Shield Gating is now disabled in the Dojo Obstacle course when you hit intended insta-fail traps such as Kill or Laser Traps.

  • Vexing Retaliation
  • Shocking Speed
  • Tidal Impunity
  • Neutron Star
  • Hallowed Eruption
  • Piercing Roar
• Adjusted icon for The Deadlock Protocol's promotional Glyph to represent the Corpus Founder more clearly, and have less of matching iconography with real life movements. 
• The Corpus Ship tileset remaster brings a new home for Razorback! Fight this Corpus creation in a brand new remastered Arena. Gameplay remains the same!
• Reduced the hit FX of the Cernos Prime and Paris Prime.
• The Opticor will now queue charging if you click+hold during its re-fire wait time (instead of ignoring your click if you didn't wait the full 1 second). 
• Tweaked some Fortuna hammering NPCs to be more in sync with each other.
• Corpus Ship Captura scenes “Freight” and “Maintenance” have been updated to the new remastered tileset, they are now “Artillery Battery Scene” and “Corpus Depository Scene”.
• Polished and tweaked Nagantaka's firing animation to reduce possible motion blur issues.
• Changed the Fortress Container codex entry to be "Polished Storage Crate/Container".
• Polished glass texturing to improve volumetrics, reflection simulation, and everything a good wall of glass should offer.
• On the topic of glass, we have removed Reinforced Glass from its respective tilesets. 
• Slight reduction to Elemental FX on Garuda’s Talons.
• Improved Companion Moa parkour movements when attempting to follow/catch up with its owner.
• Keep an eye out for new Venus skyboxes when loading into Venus missions and when gazing out your Orbiter windshield.
• Updated the Arch-Gun animations (recoil smoothing etc.) when using Archwing Deployer in mission to make them even more awesome. 
  • Also fixed an issue where players could slide around during the call down animation.
• The Glaxion Vandal is now tradable.

Kuva Bramma Changes:

The Kuva Bramma has received balance changes to address it’s overwhelming chart topping usage. The Kuva Bramma still goes boom, and we look forward to your feedback once you’ve given it a try.

Full detail can be found here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1199010-kuva-bramma-changes-explanation-and-timeline/

• It has a smaller reserve ammo (15 to 5), and gains fewer arrows from ammo pickups - This is to encourage players to aim the bow deliberately at crowds of enemies and not fire it wildly everywhere.
• Fewer cluster bombs are produced on impact (from 7 to 3) - Reduces the overwhelming AOE potential somewhat but also makes the Bramma less visually busy. Players have said that the many many explosions produced by Bramma are hard to see through.
• Increased cluster projectile radial attack size from 2.7m to 3.5m.
• Reduced cluster projectile fall off from 100% to 50% - Fewer explosive fragments, but they cover more area and generally do more damage.
• Updated the Kuva Bramnma description to include these changes:
  • This Grineer bow delivers vengeance in the form of cluster bomb-tipped arrows that can be detonated mid-air or on impact. Low quiver capacity, arrows are recovered singly.

Garuda’s Talons Changes:

• Damage increased from 180 to 248.
• Status Chance increased from 30 to 36%.
• Critical Chance increased from 10 to 20%.

Optimizations:

• Made some micro-optimizations to several UI panels.
• Optimized Crewship explosions in Railjack missions as they were causing a noticeable impact on performance. 
• Made some micro-optimizations to run-time object creation.
• Made some systemic micro-optimizations to type serialization (level loading, run-time object creation, etc).
• Optimized level-loading slightly.
• Fixed Railjack spot-loading the first time it's brought into view in the Orbiter.

Kuva Lich Fixes:

• Fixed a case where a Kuva Lich could appear to change ownership or identity during a mission, possibly resulting in the Parazon check being incorrect, and/or counting towards a different player's history.
• Fixed Kuva Liches falling off the level during the Parazon check animation, causing them to sometimes die and break the final choice cinematic.
• Fixed a case where your Kuva Lich would not level up after failing Parazon Mod order.
• Fixes towards a case where a Host migration during the Kuva Lich mission loading screen could result in no Kuva Thralls spawning. 
• Fixed the music cue that gets played when a Kuva Lich Thrall spawns only playing for the Host.
• Fixed your gun auto firing after the Kuva Thrall Mercy if you initiated the Mercy while also firing.
• Fixed a script error that could occur when a Kuva Lich went away.

Nightwave Changes & Fixes:

• Upon falling/jumping off a platform in the Weave, you’ll now be teleported back to the main platform instead of failing the Weave. 
  • The non-existent aim-gliding in the Weave was the root of many Weave failures, which is why we have added the teleport. It’s still the Glassmakers game though, so use your time wisely! 
• The amount of Cephalite Resonance to enter the Weave has been cut in half. The requirement is now 5 instead of 10.
• Your Cephalite Resonance count, as well as the amount required for the Weave, is now displayed upon hover on the Glassmaker crime scene episode selector. 
  • 
• Slightly reduced the volume of Cephalite Tears opening/closing.
• Fixed the ‘Friendly Fire’ Weekly Nightwave Act only awarding 1,000 instead of 4,500 Glassmaker Standing.
  • Upon login, the outstanding 3,500 will be retroactively awarded to those who completed when it lacked the proper Standing reward.
• Fixed Cephalite enemies having blown out FX if killed with a Fulmin.
• Fixed parts of the Mod UI being cut in half if you loaded into a Relay/Town with the Nightwave screen open.
• Fixed the “Elite Explorer” Nightwave Acts not showing progress in description.

Controller Fixes:

• Fixed an issue where resetting controller bindings to default would not remove bindings from buttons that didn't have a default action assigned to them (e.g. for XB1 and PC, D-pad down doesn't have an action bound under Railjack controls, so if you bound Bank Left to it, for instance, it would remain bound).
• Fixed a controller issue where you could assign an Archwing action (e.g. Move Down/Dodge/Blink) to a button that has a non-Archwing-exclusive action already bound to it (e.g. Ability Menu), resulting in both being bound to the same button simultaneously (where only one action would actually be executed when the button is pressed). Now, in the above example, the Crouch/Slide/Roll action would trade places with the Power Menu action, resolving the conflict.
• Fixed an issue where if you rebound Ability Menu under the General tab for controller bindings, it wouldn't update immediately under the Power Menu tab to that key, which could result in creating conflicting bindings under the Power Menu tab.
• Fixed controllers using a higher deadzone value than desired for non-look analog inputs. Was applying a 20% deadzone across the board instead of using platform-specific values, which were generally lower. This should improve responsiveness of analog sticks.
• Fixed an issue where resetting controller bindings would take effect immediately even if you chose not to save when it prompted you upon exiting. Now only takes effect upon confirmation when exiting.
• Fixed the action list in the Customize Controller controller screen not updating to show the current working bindings as you're updating them.

Fixes:

• Fixed a case where Corpus Mobile Defense objectives are invulnerable. As reported here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1194476-mobile-defense-satelittes-dont-take-damage/
• Fixes towards Defense missions breaking due to an inability to terminate enemies that have been changed to Ally status (Nyx Mind Control, Revenant Enthrall, etc), thus inability to complete the Defense Wave.
• Fixed Clients not seeing the dynamic Damage effects when the Defense Target's Health gets lower in tiles where the Target moves.
• Fixed inability to gain Energy from Energy Restores after using Valkyr’s Hysteria.
• Fixed Derim Zahn’s turrets never shutting off in The Index. 
• Fixed performing a Iron Phoenix Stance Heavy Attack (Middle Mouse Button by default) while sliding only triggering normal sliding attack, which also consumed combo count.
• Fixed enemies/objects becoming stuck inside a catwalk in the Grineer Shipyard tileset, which could cause a progression stop.
• Fixed Shield Gating mechanic being ignored by weapons that fire multiple projectiles at once for Clients. This resulted in some enemies shot by the Host will survive due to Shield Gating negating most of the damage, while enemies shot by the Client are not protected by the Shield Gate. 
• Fixed Mutalist Osprey Carrier’s ignoring Limbo’s Cataclysm bubble. 
• Fixed not receiving Credits for completing the first 2 Zones of Sanctuary Onslaught.
• Fixed the "Killing blow on x Sentients" Riven challenge not counting for new Sentient enemies aboard the Sentient Anomaly. 
• Fixed the Archwing Launcher Segment Blueprint requiring Mastery Rank 5. It is now no longer Mastery Rank locked.
• Fixed Wukong’s Celestial Twin suffering from very long Knockdowns. As reported here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1195276-wukongs-celestial-twin-takes-too-much-time-to-get-up-from-a-knock-down/
• Fixed Shield Lancers flailing wildly when affected by Titania’s Lantern. 
• Fixed Ash Shroud’s arm blades not animating during his Bladestorm ability.
• Fixed a Chat linked Riven that has 256+ rerolls being displayed as having 0 rolls. As reported here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1195215-chat-linking-a-riven-every-256-rerolls-resets-the-rolls-in-the-link/
• Fixed the Mandachord not displaying notes correctly during Octavia's Anthem Quest.
• Fixed a few cases where Rescue Targets could fall through elevators as they're moving.
• Fixed the Daikyu not properly affecting the stat buff of Mecha Overdrive and Hunter Synergy Kubrow Mods, thus giving the player a much lower than expected Status/Crit Chance link. As reported here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/1177050-daikyu-not-working-properly-with-mecha-overdrive/

Thanks, this Update sounds good.

Reworked maps look really good and the Warframe sound really strong.

Finally Stasis is gone, this is what I was looking forward this whole year. Good to see that you rework old bosses, although The Sergant would have needed it more than Jackal. 

Overall seems like a nice Update to have some fun with.

Thank you for the update, but can you let us mute Nora's reward speech lines?

I especially like the part where you released a crit-based glaive weapon and didn't solve the old bug of glaives non having crits at all on thrown attacks when dual wielding

Thanks for the update. Excited for the new quest/frame and the new gamemode.

Can we get regular machete re-released (potentially in events like scarlet spear/plague star)?

Added login milestone reward blueprints (Zenistar, Azima, Zenith, and Sigma & Octantis) to Simaris' Offerings. 

• Blueprints for each only appear in his Offerings if they have already been previously selected as login rewards. 

 

Or even add it to simaris like this.

Currently it is only obtainable through daily logins which is very annoying if it's your last item to level even with 1200+ days 🙃

Thank you for the update!

Any possibility of reworking Trinity first ability? Many new support frames have been released since Trinity and although she is the best at healing and providing energy to a squad her gameplay hasn't evolved with Warframe, making her sometimes boring to play in a mission. Maybe with a new first ability and some tweaks to her duration and other status she would be more fun to play? I would love to choose her more often, but providing energy has become redundant since we have Zenurik and health isn't really a issue if you put Arcanes on your Operator that heal your frame, which makes me feel useless when playing with her in normal missions. And her first ability has no place in the current Warframe because anything else can do a better job to heal your team. 

Also, any news about Focus and Focus farming? Farming lens, then upgrading them to Greater Lens, then Eidolon Lens (that you need to farm), then Lua Lens (that you need to farm), putting the Lens in a frame or weapon just so that you have to destroy it if you want to switch focus school or just got bored with that weapon/frame is so counterproductive that I never have put any effort in maxing out my focus threes. And doing Eidolons runs for focus isn't my idea of fun either. It would be great if we had more options when it comes to Focus farming, I don't want to destroy my equipment that I worked hard to farm. I just want to have options and the ability to switch things up when necessary. I would even be willing to buy lens with plat if I new my plat wouldn't be wasted. 

About the arcane Pax Bolt, currently the efficiency bonus doesn't carry for channeled abilities, only the bonus power strength. It would be great if that could change, making efficient builds more easy to make.
