Gandalf_White Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 (edited) I'm just going to quote what I said previously, because I don't have the nerves for your guys' stubborness... Quote I don't understand why are you all trying to push this LoS so badly onto his Tragedy? IT ALREADY HAS A SOFT LOS! YOU NEED TO PRIME ENEMIES WITH STATUS FROM HIS 3 WHICH IS LOS. YOU CANNOT NUKE WITHOUT THAT ON ANYTHING THAT IS HIGHER THAN LVL 30. He does NOT need a DOUBLE LOS CHECK. All it does is makes him ANNOYING to use. Being able to mark one group with one use of 3 and another group with another 3, then kill them with 4 was awesome, fun, Dante felt like a chad to use without being too OP. Unlike other, stronger nuke frames, you had to do some preparation to be able to nuke with Dante. Now you can't even do that because you need to have them in view, slowly deleting one group at a time. Why would I use his abilities at that point when my guns can clear out said group 5 times faster!? Jesus. This is so. ungodly. frustrating. I've been waiting for a wizard themed frame ever since 2016, I love wizards as you might have guessed from my nickname. I fashion framed my Dante to look as closely to Gandalf as I could. And now what? Now he's useless. Unfun. And he will be like that even after the supposed "fix". And this: Quote Previously I could breeze accross the room, marking groups of enemies with Dark Verse and then killing them with Final Verse. Now I can't do that. Now I have to mark a group, then waste a Dark Verse on the same group (because doing this on another group won't do anything much anyways) and kill them with 4, all while constantly staring right at them. My off-meta guns (quellor, kuva karak, tenora prime) can wipe that group faster (ON STEEL PATH) than Dante can cast two Dark Verses and a Final verse WITH 2 tau casting speed shards. There's no point in using his damage abilities anymore. Edited April 5 by Gandalf_White 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaxxian Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 (edited) 3 ESO rounds (5m 1s), 1161 kills. Completely dominating with afk gameplay. Please, NERF. My reccomendation would be to add LoS, halve damage and having to press 3 buttons using 100 energy. Edited April 5 by Gaxxian 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NuxWalpurgis Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 2 hours ago, NuxWalpurgis said: Quoting this post because it pretty succinctly describes the actual problem with your nerf philosophy and overall design philosophy, DE. It's flagrantly obvious that you don't actually PLAY the game you're trying to balance, especially when the entirety of everyone's complaints with Dante had NOTHING to do with his abilities and everything to do with Overguard as a mechanic. These changes don't need a rework. They don't need a line of sight fix. They don't need some tweaking and rebalancing. They need to be reverted entirely. 5 days from the newest warframe's release is NOT enough time to gather data for an actual minor tweak, much less the absurdity of this nerf. It killed his identity less than two days after most players who didn't buy Dante could even play him. If you want constructive feedback, consider this. Unless this change is reverted, I'm not buying any new release frames or weapons until I'm aware that they aren't going to be nerfed into irrelevance with false justifications when Octavia can render Steel Path an AFK-fest. Especially when your own words about "minor tweaks" and "not touching damage" and "taking time to carefully consider balance and stats first" are outright lies. This was a nerf. And you lied about it. Copying in my post from the other feedback thread. This change needs to be reverted. Nerfing a functional frame into a buggy mess without even understand the actual issues people had with it only 5 days after release is insane. "Not going to nerf Dante" indeed. "Minor tweaks" indeed. All in the same update that makes crowd control frames weaker across the board. The entire "hotfix" was rushed, imbalanced, and poorly implemented. Why would I spend money on Jade's upcoming release now when it's completely up in the air whether it'll even play the same 5 days later? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theweedle Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Pablo I love you man, youve done so much good for this game, but tragedy getting LoS aint it. Please reconsider adding it to tragedy in the first place. The ability will feel so much worse with it, and it doesnt even really need it. Enemies must be tagged with a DoT in the first place to be killed by tragedy. Dark verse requires LoS, weapon priming requires LoS.. My point is, that this change is largely pointless, and only serves to make Dante feel more clunky than he needs to feel. I loved being able to tag multiple separated groups of enemies with dark verse and then be able to detonate them with tragedy without having to worry about a small rock completely blocking the damage. If a nerf must happen, consider just a small range reduction, or possibly making it so only statuses the player applied detonating. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver1877 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 2 hours ago, [DE]Pablo said: We botched the LoS change to Dante yesterday, I apologize for shipping it in that state. We will be making changes later today to improve it, details ahead. One silver lining that came from this mistake is that we have decided we will revisit older LoS checks to use this improved version in a future update. Old LoS check: We do a raycast, basically draw a line from you to the enemies center and if nothing interrupts the line along the way they are considered on sight. Raycasts ignore other enemies. Additionally we had a bug that prevented it from working on ragdolled enemies, so if they were pulled by vortex or whatever they were totally invisible to the ability. The main problem with this approach(aside from the huge ragdoll bug) is that a single raycast can easily trigger as false if for example there is a small railing between you and the enemy. Abilities like Radial Blind, Vast Untime and Rotorswell for example use this same logic right now. New LoS check: First if the enemy is within 5 meters we don't do LoS at all, we just assume they are visible. Then checks if the enemy is being rendered, which works for any enemies on screen, so if you see even their pinky toe, they are considered visible. Then for enemies behind you instead of one raycast it does three, one to the top, another to the center and finally to the feet and if any of them are successful, then we determine it is visible, this means false blocks are much less likely. Again, this should've never happened, but we will try to make the best of it, and hopefully the overall game will end up better for it. so let me get this strait what if i see just his neck or his chest or all of his leg my ability wont work then one solution would be to check every possible poligon but that would probably kill the performance PS. please refund all forma and time all players poured into it cause this is strait up scam he feel just clunky now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sestofish Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Good work on the nerfs Pablo. People genuinely comparing Dante to frames like Gauss or Wisp have no idea what they're talking about.

Please fix LoS problems on Ember and Qorvex 1 too, also time to remove uncapped energy drain from Ember.

I'm glad you're having fun, but clearly the silent majority that was having fun with the new update, aren't anymore.

MetalMechabolic Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 (edited) 7 minutes ago, BloodyPrimeSkull said: so many pages of indignation..) Is that enough for you or what else can we do to make you hear us? Eh, XIV has the same problem in reverse. Instead of certain OP classes, every class (another word for frame) would essentially preform the same while fitting their kit in a strict 2 minute burst window. So every class feels the same. Though the dev's response is the same, "we know that we are doing" while everyone who plays slowly realizes what is going on and slowly leaves the game. Oh well, at least this one let's you solo everything, lol. Edit: is there a free plat giveaway if you support DE? In that case, they have a very nice looking office!
