FissionStorm Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 this has been brought up a lot before in fan concepts. I support the idea, but please skim through pre-existing threads first. And while I LOVE gundam and want as many homages, i see funnels as either falling VERY short in terms of functionality. DE would need to add multiple types, like the Nu Gundams Fin Funnels for all around use, Throne Zweis Fangs for a huge damage and speed bias, or the Shamblo's reflector bits to provide a lot of defense Sidenote: I'd love to see effects like Trans-Am, F91s Metal-peel-off, or the Gundam Delta kai's NITRO system.

inelegantOdyssey Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 If anything, I could see that as being an Archwing Ultimate. Like firing bladed rockets that home and take out/do a set amount of damage to multiple targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaugahn Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Archwing needs to be kept to space and not allowed elsewhere. Let's not destroy all the content in the game at once... I'd actually enjoy it if we could fire on level interiors from space. Like you jump out in your Arcwing and then your friend lures everyone into a room with a window so you can blast them. That would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGear Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Funnels would be idea for an area-denial type Archwing, where you can just deploy them and let them do their own thing. Given that we don't have newtype powers or anything like that to control multiple funnels at once, the best we can see in Warframe is to see Funnels be highly mobile, autonomous units that can attack and engage enemies on their own. Likely limits would be making the funnels time limited either by a hard timer or via energy toggle (i.e. consumes energy every second they're out).

Cleesus Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Lets go ahead and skip the clever "warframe is pve" type comments now and in the future. I was talking to others about this during the livestream and everyone agreed it would be pretty cool. A lot easier to balance too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennibear Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I do wish each Warframe could have at least one unique power while using the archwing, something that kind of grasps their overall concept. Excalibur having a super dash attack or Trinity being able to restore energy/shields or something. Interested in learning more. same, if not i don't really see a reason not to use my valkyr or saryn for the hp/armor, which is really quite sad. but there would be no logical way for some of the frames to use their moves.

Dualstar Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 In theroy, sounds like a pretty light show. In practice, its all fancy effects for more homing projectiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z3GR4M Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Maybe it's just me but from watching the dev-stream and hearing DE Steve ask the name of the Onanata or whatever it was I got the impression that you play that specific Archwing... As in it has it's own HP/Energy value that basically overrides the excalibro he was playing. I'm thinking that during the Archwing portions your frame will not matter, you simply choose the Archwing you want to play as... Like think of them as secondary war frames that override your frame during Archwing portions. Anyway that's my take on it I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that's what they were saying, same goes for your ranged and me lee weapons that are just overridden during the Archwing mode.

Eric1738 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 could be one of the abilities of archwing. but i'm not quite sure if it is copyrighted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchel Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 i saw the devstream, it was really good. it almost feels like my old game called "Air Rivals" though im thinking about a mission type like -Sabotage: going to fight a ship and its guards with your archwing objective is to cripple its offense capabilities by planting bombs to the ship's mega offensive turrets while fending off defenders -A new system for the dojo: clan mission: the dojo gets raided by fomorians and you have to defend it with archwing clan will have an HP, if it goes 50%, the enemies are going to raid your ship and you need to defend it from the inside just wanna share ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
achromos Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 "Let's bypass all current game mechanics and strategies for playing and replace it with 95% of the playerbase hovering around using Archwing weapons and abilities." Hmm.... You can already bypass the game mechanics if you want to just by using Zephyr, and if you aren't a fan of Zephyr, you could use Coptering and that will launch you forward, true you wont be "Flying" though I'm sure that DE will balance flight. Personally I'd like to be able to equip it to allow us to replace Coptering in general with something 'legit' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UncommonUnicorn Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) This? What you linked seems more like a weaponised drone system with roughly funnel-shaped drones... Which would make it generic enough to be implemented. Edited September 6, 2014 by UncommonUnicorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
