"What`s With All The Hate On Hydroid?"

 

Simple Awnser: The usual as with any new Warframe... "Jealousy", Mostly becouse Platinum players get the Frame at first hand without having to farm it and swag through Online missions and second becouse when a new skill shows up and still uncomprehended, people without the new Warframe think its OP.

My initial idea when getting him was to use his #4 ability to mercilessly taunt one of my clanmates (who for some reason gets rather creeped out when I start imitating a Japanese schoolgirl after using the power), but then I pressed 1.

 

Holy crap.

 

He can call down airstrikes.

 

Goodbye, hentacles. It was nice while it lasted.

omg steve must be holding his pants about a pirate themed frame recieving all this kind of feedback. thank god nobody is asking for an eye patch... or a bigger piece of cod.

 

He DOES actually have an eye-patch.  Look at the splash screen picture of him carefully.  Look at the lights on the front of his helmet.  There would be 4, but the one where his right eye would be is out.

ok ok ok i give up, you caught me... i was trying to avoid the codpice and eyepatch issue by simply playing fool. i like to think that hydroid is one way to mock those publishers that some years ago where actually asking for those things to be the charactereistcs of what, by that time, steve was presenting to them. may be i got it all wrong. who cares.

 

but if im right... hydroid is even greater, the name is so much better, and scott, steve and all DE has my thumbs up and a lifetime of free coffee from starbucks (actually i can't provide that last one, just the good intention).

about that pudle.... is that a penta granade that just went into the pudle?? ...."BOOM!!".... ohh yup, it was. (while epic, too o.p... or not? review vortex if it is).

I don't hate Hydroid, I just find him bland and boring to play. The last few frames have all been pretty poor, although they all have great art.

 

It's like the art team is way bigger/better than the rest of the departments.

 

 

With Rush + Maglev, and the occasional "wavedash," he is my fastest Warframe and gets me in melee range quite nicely. 

 

But, I do agree with the art. The last few frames have interesting artwork, but their abilities in practice is somewhat lacking. I was actually hoping Zephy could suspend herself a good 10-30 meters in the air, float/fly like a bird in a direction of her choice, and wreck havok like those grineer Hellions. Instead, her 1 ability is just a weirdly delayed jump and I think she shows how out-of-place the game's current physics affects her. 

 

Hydroid, on the other hand, suits his abilities somewhat more than Zephy does to hers, as there isn't alot you can do with water. You can drown, release the Kraken, call in heavy rain to knock guys on their feet, and a tidal wave. He is more fun than Zephy imo.

Haters overreacting for nothing. You'll see, things will calm down after a few dozen days later.

Only thing I hate about Hydrofoil-droid is the grind. Delta beacons are a pain to get. 

 

Recruiting tab, you say? They grinded for the beacons too. Let's not forget we need 3 parts and a few Argon Crystals to build him. 

 

Don't get me wrong, he's funny to play with, but he's just not perma-worthy enough. If anything, he's only for collection, mastery rank or Infested defense.
