Grimwing Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 So, I was thinking about the possibilities on what will replace mods in the game. Any info on this so far? I find mods to be good in the game, they raise motivation to farm, offer perfect customization options, etc... I couldn't think of any better alternative, seriously. Another thing, I have a reactor and a catalyst at hand, should I use them up before update 7 or not? Or this update won't affect them at all? Some info would be appreciated. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure_Kytia Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 If you watched the Q&A, Steve mentions that the Mod system is being replaced with the Artifact System. This system will work in a fashion where certain frames can equip certain artifacts, and each artifact requires a certain amount of power to run. Each time you increase your warframe's rank, you increase the amount of energy you can use by some unknown amount. Having a Potato is said to double the maximum amount of power you are able to use, or at least increase the limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherbniz Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I wonder the same thing, I have a few orokin upgrades in my inventory, I just want to be sure that the switch to the new system doesn't destroy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a much more limited customization concept. :/ Thanks for the answer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I understand the new system that means you'll have complete control over which stats or powers you want to improve, whereas the current upgrade tree forces you to upgrade certain stats that you might not care about.

It's alright, but what will motivate you to farm on the maps if there will be no mods? Personally I will pretty much miss the mod farming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know there is no confirmation from the developers that those new artifacts won't drop from mobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimwing
So, I was thinking about the possibilities on what will replace mods in the game.
Any info on this so far? I find mods to be good in the game, they raise motivation to farm, offer perfect customization options, etc...
I couldn't think of any better alternative, seriously.
Another thing, I have a reactor and a catalyst at hand, should I use them up before update 7 or not?
Or this update won't affect them at all?
Some info would be appreciated. :)
