Heart of Deimos: Hotfix 29.0.6

[Yssaris]

There is an insane bug with Xaku that when you kill an ennemy the half right of the screen go blurry, making it nearly impossible to play.

I've tried different weapons and it all ends the same way.

Please fix it ASAP, I was really happy to finally have Xaku after all that farm, and can't play it because of that.

Thanks for the update.  Can we get a fix for Thaumica drop rates?

You can also try escaping the enemie nechra mech or fight him kinda fun tobmine will a slaugther robot is trying to kill ya

[Naredun]

Theres a bug withe the necramech and umbra. If you directly transfer from umbra to mech, umbra wont move. And if you go from mech directly to umbra we just get stuck and cant do much more. Always gotta use the op in between

[ToaSirian]

BOO!

scilliant

helminth rescourse cost

necramech mods

[Steel1977]

Thanks for the hotfixes

[Nakti]

Weakened animals were added to the popup too. It's 2x more annoying than you have announced. Also they don't really work.

Well, at least animals are useful unlike most other resources with popup bunner. Both railjack and Deimos ones. So if we had only Argon Crystals, animals and necramech part (like warframe blueprints), it would be tolerable.

We’re working on a script to find the missing flowers and their respective colors! We’ll update this thread when the script has started - don’t worry, your flowers are not lost! 

Oh good. Since I still have no Nezha Flower i thought in my case there would be no memory of that subsume.

[Exelcto]

Please consider adding open world ores/ gems and fish parts to the helminth system. :)

[krazox]

Thanks, you addressed the thing I hated the most, waiting 44 days to be able to experiment.

As an experienced player I do not care much about the helminth cost. I've powerleveled the helminth and subsumed every frame I could until yesterday and the only resource I'm lacking of is bile which is fine as it gives me a reason to go and farm something.

I suppose that players with less hours in game may find difficult to feed the helminth and I truly believe that there should be some more options on each category or railjack resources should be required in less quantity.

However I find the community being too alarmist about this, I have never checked the forums and reddit until the nerf of some subsumable abilities was announced, is it always like that?

 

[-BM-Sebastian]

But what about Necramech dual energy color?!

DE, please fix Empower doesn't affect Dex Pixia and Diwata damage in Razorwing.

[master_of_destiny]

Let's offer some thanks for bug fixing....

 

Now that we're through that, let's talk about what is still goofy.  

Deimos

It's 5000 standing and 10 son tokens to gild a pet....the same cost as at launch, despite the tokens being bumped up to 500 from 100.  Why not just charge the 10000 standing rather than try to obfuscate this?  If not that, drop the cost of gilding to 2 tokens.  Right now I'm sitting on pets because 10k standing is not viable when the Vulpaphlyes have 2 abilities each, and one of them is the same amongst all three. 

Scintillant.  You label the reward as rare and common in their respective bounties.  What this really means is not common, but part of the lowest tier reward.  Basically, you cannot earn the thing as you progress, and it's actual chance of dropping is between 3% and 8%.  That's really misleading, and observing your actual drop tables explains that quite well.  It's pretty sneaky to pull those types of shenanigans.

The Cortege.  It's interesting.  I got it, and it can be upgraded.  Great, so I clicked to upgrade and it asks me to install a gravimag....fine.  I then discover that it installed both the catalyst and the gravimag.  Bug, feature, or something else?  It's new for an archgun.  

Seriglass Shards are obviously just a miserable way to extend grind.  It's functionally adding 20*1500=30000 standing to each and every items that requires them.  That's one rank up, 2 guns, and the signature weapon of your shiny new frame.  A signature weapon requiring 5 Scintillant already.  I know that you don't have content, and have extended this open world with painful grind, but come on.  Just delay the thing for another two weeks and give us something worth having.  We're a week in and the only thing I'm really capable of seeing as a fair grind is the pets.  Only one of their components needs to be good (health type), and the rest is actually all just set dressing for pets that can revive like Djinn.  It doesn't matter if the mechs are cool, when it takes 9 blue prints to make 3 pieces of content.

 

The Helminth

So, bile is a joke.  I'm going to continue to highlight that the price of certain railjack resources is garbage.  Garbage as in an extra 0 too much, for a player that has completed all of it.  Lord knows what any new player is going to think when they have 4-9 units drop from an eximus unit and they then see they need 10k for a single feeding.  That's a huge turn off, and needs to be fixed.

So it seems like the wiki is doing your job for you.  They've listed out all of the subsuming costs, and the subsequent costs to apply abilities from frames.  Some of them seem to be designed for a Korean MMO instead of warframe.  I really, really, really, hate Zephyr's Air Burst.  I figured such a garbage ability would be cheap....and saw that it was competing with Breach Surge and Larva...but noted it used 94% of resources versus 100% and 121%.  It seems like you're balancing resource rarity an total % required to try and weigh out ability performance.  It's not a good look, because I apply this stuff once.  That means waiting 24-48 hours means I literally have to use half as many resources as someone who had to have it today.  This is a huge trap for players, meant to force long term grind rather than engagement and usage.

Tomorrow I get 20 slots, and after that I finally get to use sentient stuff to reset negative penalties.  Effectively, I get to go from 3% to 15% by spending an additional resource.  Great.  It's so far along in the progression that once you get there it'll be a week of subsuming and feedings before you can reliably level up.  I take back the compliment on needing to experiment to level up.  Given the cost and waits of subsuming frames by the time you get everything subsumed you'll be well past rank 10.  This system is pretty terrible, and it's backwards to think how it's setup.  To be clear, the progression is to feed to 100%.  Once there you'll be close to unlocking subsumes.  Apply one or two powers, and then subsume your first frame.  From this point forward the daily subsume, then return to material inventory levels, will outstrip any need to experiment.   This proves the system is less about powering up, and more about forcing a  40+ day grind.

You unlocked the subsume for money....ok.  It's effectively allowing people to rank up to 10 very quickly, have access to everything, but also have them required to blow through a silly amount of resources.  You're phrasing this like it wasn't intended, but it's basically just paying money to skip the grind at great resource cost.  It's exactly what you said warframe wouldn't do 5+ years ago in an interview.  Maybe instead of this just decrease the subsume time to 11 hours.  In doing so it's going to be a 20+ day grind, but the limitations of materials will still be present.  You still get your engagement, depletion of inventories, but don't have to pretend like doing this is somehow a difficult decision.

Progression.  I get into my sacrifice, and then into the chair.  I subsume for a cost, get warped to the arsenal, then walk back down to the chair to feed it and replace the resources which were subsumed.  Not great.  Maybe instead of doing this allow us to choose the frame and just have it appear at the wall.  Less pointless walking, in-and-out of menus, and more significantly less time spent watching the same cut scene 40+ times daily.

 

The content

The new infested pistol (Zymos) is...who thought this was fun?  It's like you guys reached back to Time Splitters, and decided on the most odd weapon.  The dart gun inflated people until they detonated....but the thing is it had ammo.  Oh goody, an update dropped increasing the ammo.  Yeah, not worth the effort.  Headshots are pretty much impossible on a horde rush, so the gun is basically a thing for a stealth frame.  As a Loki or Ivara it's a fun way to run through spy vaults.  Ignore 99% of enemies, pop the ones in the spy vault while invisible, and win.  That's a niche...but I already have every other gun.  Guns with less ammo, whose headshots are options.  I have the ability to stick an arcane (arcane pistoleer) on this gun....but that's a 21 quantity drop from arbitrations...no.  I just don't think this is anything more than a novelty.

The claws....  Why?  If I can get to the 221 hits of a x12 multiplier I obviously don't need an insano range.  I especially don't need to trade huge possible damage for even the long lasting range of this weapon.  If I wanted that I could have chosen a whip or heavy blade to offer better damage without having to build that combo counter.  These are really goofy, but inoffensive.

The two guns, sold by father.  30k standing each plus the purchase price mean it's going to be a time before I care to unlock them.  For that price I can gild 3 pets and begin the long slog to get them enough forma to matter.  Thing is, the pets aren't great either.  Pet damage is garbage, so the only viable option is the sly vulpaphyla.  The boost evasion, which isn't good but marginally better than various low damage attacks.

 

Finally, Avast saw you as a virus.  Executable got vaulted and removed, so I spent 3 hours downloading, getting a cache fail, resetting steam and adding an avast exception.  That's after a day of playing 05 with no issues.  None of this is a good look DE.

Can't believe you guys gave in to rush subsume. Wow.

Me too. Big mistake.

Never bow to the "I want everything immediately and I have money"-crowd. Ever. Not IRL, not in Warframe.

Yes, DE might get a little more real money, which is generally a good thing ("Warframe will never die"). But think about who is actually paying? It's not the players having mucho plat from selling sets, mods, arcanes, rivens etc., it's the little guys buying from them.

Remove the ability to Rush eating warframes now. That is hands how the worst change you could have damn made. This is not fair to Free to play players and this is made just to sap people of money. 

Not everyone has the time to maybe wait, I am away from my home between 11-15h 5 days a week working, which means my gaming days are on weekends and this means that someone like me can enjoy the game more, if you want to wait 24h thats okay if I want to rush thats okay, and fair? Its pve not pvp.

[Kurizen]

umm, still no equipable Prime Parts for Chroma Immortal Skin?

[mistsack]

Player dont wanna hunt animals... can we have son tokens removed pls. its boring and.. yea its boring to do it. you undermined the tokens anyway with the rank up cost removal. so why not get rid of the most boring part of it...

Is this right.? Since the recent hotfix. I only checked the rewards and we probably have a bug here.
We have a higher level bounty, where we receive less payment.

We were getting 85 symbols for the highest level.

Please DE Fix it.

That has been happening before the hotfix too. My guess is that they just add up the tokens you get for the different stages, which roughly correspond to how long the bounty takes. If you get only bounties that are incredibly fast as a lvl5 bounty (the  tumor nodes, the purifier, the resources cache, helping grineer), but a level3 bounty with excavation, the corpus dude, and the bait station, then this might happen I feel.

Thank you for the hotfix!

Please:

• Add an optional Steel Path Isolation Vault bounty that spawns 5 Necramech targets as well as applies the Mod Drop Chance and Resource Drop Chance boosters for farming Necramech Mods, Scintillant, and Necraloid standing. This would be an indirect way to buff Scintillant and Necramech mod drops without handing them to players. Increased levels for increased rewards!
• Add permanent family token exchange deals (Grandmother too) that are a bit less efficient than the time-gated ones. This would reduce player burnout and reward active players more than non-active, but give players who play less frequently a consistent and solid progression system if they choose to partake in it.
• Slightly adjust Railjack and similar resources for Helminth to be consistent with other costs given their aquisition (Asterite is an outlier).
• Add more capacity to Necramechs, reduce some mod costs, and/or remove 2 mod slots. It's really annoying to have 12 mod slots that you will never be able to fully use due to capacity limitations. This was a problem with the launch of Empyrean and how Avionics capacity was more limited than slots.

Yes, please listen, these are good suggestions!

[Bl4zko]

Please take a look at the builds started from the Warframe app, started the Sepulcrum weapon and now I can't find it anywhere when I logged in on PC. Already sent in a ticket and this kinda puts me off of ever using the app again for foundry usage.

[Alpha_Zerg]

The Deimos Jugulus attacks all counting as melee is literally gamebreaking in Steel Path. Frames like Zephyr and Mesa that have abilities defending against projectile attacks have absolutely no defence against the Jugulus and the gas procs are one-shots on every tick through 1k health. Something needs to be adjusted here because that's beyond overtuned.
