A.o.D. Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) So I stumbled across the ether daggers codex entry the other day, noticing they got pretty decent stats with damage 2.0. Back in damage 1.0 they were inferior to most melees, due to having "blade damage" on both, charged and normal attack while dual ethers had "serrated blade damage" on charged and normal attacks, making them a much better choice(at least for me). Most other melee weapons also dealt "serrated blade" on charge attacks. Due to being inferior to most of the other melee weapons, they were therefore used by only a small amount of players - in my case for testing/leveling them only to substitute them with other melees after a short time of usage. With overhauled stats, I honestly don't see a reason why the ether daggers shouldn't return to the game. IMO the permanent loss is a waste of the beautiful models and it would also be cool to have dual daggers other than the Fang(Prime). So what do you think? Should they return to the market?

raptor_458 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Yes. I like anything ether and purple but missed the daggers. Please bring them back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC-Guardian Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Wait they're gone?? Glad I kept them, sure are fun, you also can't be Knocked down from the front while spamming them so they are amazing against shield lancers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spysweeper242 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 NO, they are cheap slide spam tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kubbi Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 They got removed before I had the chance to try it. I'd lime to see it back. The machette too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psychonite Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Maybe they should come back when melee 2.0 comes out unless there’s a good reason why there gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoomFruit Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I have two minds about this. If they're brought back, a certain clanmate of mine will have less reason to complain that I have more weapons. On the other hand, if they come back, said clanmate will come just that little bit closer to me in terms of mastery XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechaTails Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I think you can slide spam the Furax, you can uppercut twice in a row. Maye 2 times isn't spam though rofl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grulos Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Ether Daggers are very fun to use. Have them and they feel awesome. Hopefully Melee 2.0 makes them even more awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gio21 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) a lot of things at codex are unobtainable and u cant cannot scan etc we should be able to obtain any weapons/ scan any enemies at codex so we dont have an unfinished codex when we dont have even started wroking for it, i think Edited March 29, 2014 by Gio21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)atpbx Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) I am currently in love with fang prime. They are useless, but great fun to use, another does of dagger goodness wouldn't go amiss. Edited March 29, 2014 by (PS4)atpbx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeduSalem Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Ah the Ether family... They are still my favorite Melee weapons of all time... :P I think they should add weapons they removed from the Market either to Clan Research or to Alerts and make item rewarding alerts more common... I can't say how many Gorgon Blueprints I already got from Login rewards and I'm sick of seeing them over and over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MageMeat Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I still have my old Ether Daggers and potatoed them a long time ago, to boot. I tried them out with Damage 2.0 a bit and found them much better than in the old damage system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katotsu Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I so want to try these out. Please DE. Not with those handles, good lord. What about the Dual Ether? It has one of these in that set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SquirmyBurrito Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 They're pretty funny if all you equip on them is a spoiled strike. Slow mo attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Othergrunty Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 So i finaly took mine out of the forge and i must say they are indeed not bad. However does anyone else find it annoying that the strikes are almost 3 in a row, locking you down in the melee animation, rather than being able to coordinate your strikes more clearly? Though this might change with the comming melee upgrade, but if it stays i find it rather annoying. With a speed increase it also makes your Warframe look more like a crazy drummer than a skilled melee fighter because your arms will throw around like crazy. Thinking about daggers in general, i always felt like they should be more crit focused than speed focused. After all daggers are usualy the critical strike weapons in RPGs.
