Feedback: Melee creep XP needs fixing.

[Ced23Ric]

Oh hai,

Currently, Melee XP is gained really slow, whereas weapon XP grows quite fast. There seem to be two reasons. The first will be in this topic, the other one needs his own. As you fight with friends, you get "creep XP" from their kills towards your frame and weapon. This creep XP is assigned to the currently used weapon, which is either the rifle or the pistol - and never the melee weapon. Even constantly slashing to keep the sword out, so to speak, does not mitigate this.

So my suggestion is that some of the creep XP is reassigned to the sword. In it's current inception, I get more XP for my sword by going solo, otherwise my buddies would reduce my XP gain, making it undesirable to have them with me should I intend to level my melee weapon. With weapons, I can just go and do my usual things, doesn't matter who gets the kill because of creep XP. With swords ... not so much.

I think melee weapons should be included on the "F" key aswell as the primary and secondary weapons. Or a better solution is that when you press the "E" button the melee weapon should stay equiped until you press "F" again to equip your main/secondary weapon, that would required a new animation of the equiped sword, but i think that is the most practical solution, and that way, when equiped a sword with the left click will be the light atk and with the right click the charged atk.

Well, it's either that or a more detailed code assigning XP. :)

I'd like to see the "Creep xp" be assigned to all weapons equally as well. Alternatively based on what weapon your ally used to kill the opponent.

i Would like to see my sword equiped, and besided there could be 3 kind of hits with it or some kind of "combos", for example if Left click is the light hit, the right click is a heavy uncharged hit, and charged hit (holding it). You can make combinations like LC, LC, LC, RC, hold RC...just saying, this would implement a nice varitation and options for the melee weapons

That is hilarious, because I just wrote a topic about it, even if not thinking about the xp side ahah: https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/2779-running-with-melee-weapon-unsheated/

It would also be more or less a waste of animators and programmers time and resources when a perfectly good melee system already exists. Part of good game development is thinking of efficient solutions to problems.

I kinda disagree with that...be aware that im just giving examples about the hits, combos and all that crap. The main topic is that Melee weapons needs to be equipable as well as the primary and secondary weapons, melee weapons for me, as it is right now are really underrated.

You have some good ideas you should probably branch out to and stick with. Maybe a new thread? Otherwise, stuff gets lost. :)

Pretty much what I am asking for.
