Exo594 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 First off, I'm enjoying my Dex Furis. It's a nice bullet-cloud generator, and seems generally fun so far, even with no mods. The stock colors are nice, and the aesthetic changes the the base model are nice, with the smoothing and then blinging with the Lotus symbol. Kudos. Sure, I'd like it more if the muzzle flare changed, but oh well. Also, if this were to be a new class like the Vandal or Wraith series, why would you not color-lock it? Don't get me wrong, the customization is a nice improvement over Vandal/Wraith. Here's what I'm understanding this class to be: Upgrades to the secondary stats (mag size, crit chance, and stat chance), plus smoothing of the models and the added bling, but not the aggressive Prime blinging. BUT DE, YOU TOTALLY MISSED THE BOAT! Here, you've had the perfect opportunity to try something unprecedented in the game, to experiment with something that hasn't been done at all, and to see how exactly the players would react. Having a non-damage/rof upgrade to a weapon is nice, but it could have been a step further: PASSIVES. For this weapon, you could have boosted some stats for all weapons and the frame just by having this weapon equipped. This would fully justify the existence of such a weapon, and would have given the players something new to futz around with, another factor to consider in their play-styles. If nothing else, I hope to see more Dex weapons, they are beautiful works of art, and nicely augmented weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liacu Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I definitely do like the aesthetic of the gun but I don't see a point in adding a sort of passive to it. There isn't really a reason for it, that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptimumBow0 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 A piece of equipment that passively boosts stats? You mean (most of) the alternate warframe helmets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistopportunity Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 A piece of equipment that passively boosts stats? You mean (most of) the alternate warframe helmets? Helmet stats are being discountinued, but if you already have them by update 13 you can keep them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taiiat Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 ooh, ooh. i got it. a passive stat for Dex Furis. +5% chance to confirm Half-Life 3. now tape that trigger and keep pumping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtexas Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I do not think the Dex class will become a regular thing like you may be thinking. I think its going to be a class that only has a weapon once every year. Lets not give people more of excuse to complain about "I want that thing that person as because I don't have it" and other similar topics mk? Having passives on a weapon that will probably never be given out again is a horrible idea. The amount of complaining by those that missed it will be off the charts. Besides, I think only frames should have passives (Ie: Ember being more resistant to fire damage). And prime versions would have the same passive as the regular versions.

Issun135 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I noticed that the dex sound a bit different then the normal furis. So I've come to believe the dex is kinda like pack-a-punching a weapon, I mean it looks cooler, sounds different, and has generally better stats. I dunno if that's what you all think but that's how I see the dex class weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MirageKnight Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 A Dex Bratron would be pretty sweet IMO. The default skin for the Braton / Braton Mk 1 are just meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAYABU5A Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Receives free weapon to celebrate anniversary (a token weapon not meant to game changing or a new subclass but as commemorative gift) Complains on forums as if entitled to something seems legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noble_Cactus Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) He's not complaining. A Dex Paris with lotus arrowheads sounds pretty tasty right about now. Edited March 27, 2014 by Noble_Cactus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please no. Do we need a 4th tier of recycling? I could understand making Dex skins for other weapons, but not another "insert old gun here" recycle bin.

Well, it's either going to be "recycle that *@##$", or "re-re-balance everything in the game again.". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeAura Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 A healthy game would re-rebalance everything in the game again when it sees things are out of whack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notionphil Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Agreed. With the introduction of a new Class of weapons, one would hope DE would take the opportunity to try something OTHER than seemingly arbitrary stat boosts like all of the other weapon Casses already have. Not a big deal, but if they just wanted to slightly improve a weapon, they already had 3 Classes to reskin it as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We dont need another freaking braton. I have 4 of the d@mn things and im missing one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exo594 Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 My votes on Dex Bolto or Dex Tigris. I love AkBolto, and Tigris just didn't have the mag cap to satisfy me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
