Big Ideas, Small Changes For Fun And Challenges.

[main_antagonist]

Specified Duels! I went to photoshop and messed around for 15mins to make some icons and screen capture manipulations to illustrate the point. From the X interaction to kneel and start a duel you'd be able to choose the normal duel preset or the following presets below, then an icon would float above your head indicating what kind of duel you are initiating to your fellow tenno n_n

Melee duels.


Secondary weapon duels.


Primary weapon duels.


No energy duels.


--------

Friendly fire for warframe and when you would encounter it.
Why? Because I feel that the game is pray and spray with a touch of ability spam right now which has taken a lot of the fun out of it for me, I'm aware there will be a melee update but even still here goes...

I've been playing for fair while and I'd like to see this in warframe to make it more challenging and team based, communication and combat would become more essential and don't get started on grief because anybody playing this game mode would revoke their right to complain by choosing to participate in the first place.

However if it did become a burden and people were killing allies a simple solution would be to put a cap on how much damage you take so for example when we run out of oxygen in survival and have 5hp the same goes for friendly fire on game modes. Call it what you want 'Hardcore', 'Expert' etc.

1) nightmare mode modifier.

2) it's own unique title / game mode 'Hardcore', 'Expert' etc.

3) Here is my favourite idea, radiation leaders. Yes once again RADIATION LEADERS!

You walk around a corner and notice that scary aura affecting your warframe, suddely you realise you're not alone and your whole squad is radiated but it's too late because some scrub was spamming penta shots or was walking down the halls with his finger held on the trigger. Suddenly the game isn't so easy anymore.

--------

Sentinels sorry I'll correct that sentinel ... singular being carrier people mainly use it and I'm pretty bored of using it myself but I have to admit I love the vacuum it offers.
So I've been thinking it should be shaken up a bit and here are some ideas I've come up with.
1) Abilities that don't belong to your sentinel result in negative capacity every time without fail so to get your sentinel just right you'll have to put more forma into it if you really want vacuum on deth cube or shade etc.

2) Another idea was that the only acceptable way for you to do so would be to have 2 abilities and no attack mods on your sentinel, double the functionality but no damage output.

3) Alternatively they could  just swap between each other without any problems but I'm not to keen for that myself.

--------

A resistance mod slot where you can place one resistance mod so suddenly we can start making good use of mods like flame repellant and lightning rod. Which brings up the topic of why there aren't resist mods for the new elements or a slash proc resist mod but I'm sure they are in the works as people in council chat agree.

--------

Duel Room and Cover placement.
As you would have noticed I've put some decorations into the duel room to spice it up a bit! Our dojo has 2 duel rooms one is bare bones and this one has some neat cover so you can safely get the energy orbs, dodge sword swings, take cover from explosives etc. So more cover decorations would be nice in the future but it's not in high demand.

 

Please note that I urge you to watch this video and open your mind before you read anything below

I thought that another interesting concept for the duel room would be Programmable matter it has other names such as Claytronics and Utility Fog to name a few.
I know that doesn't make a lot of sense how it works so I'll post some links below but in short it's molecular nanotechnology that can be programmed to form various objects.
Which means you would fund the duel room for an 'upgrade' and then choose from presets in how you want the duel room to be laid out before you even initiate a duel and like nano-tech magic it raises from the ground and you can change it to any other preset at will without any further costs because you upgraded the duel room. (obviously the graphics would just look like holographics rising from the ground or they would instantly appear because it's just a game which is fine, but if it was real life you would see dust or sand start to form objects before you)

Have a read up on it if you like it's quite interesting if science and sci-fi are your thing! 'obviously should be if you play warframe' :P

I will edit this post at times to add some other ideas I've had and tweak the wording.
Please no flaming or derailing of the thread and I hope you enjoyed reading so far.

I like the sentinel idea. Could make the Dethcube even better than a Warframe.

This would be really relevant now that you can easily unequip weapons in the arsenal and also that melee 2.0 has come out. It makes for a more dynamic experience in the dojo.

 

It make clan duelling alot fairer so that someone can't one shot you with an ogris while your holding your melee out :D
