Zardica Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Or at least, that's what I like to call Sprag and Ven'kra. Am I the only one kinda disappointed in them? I was super hyped about some new lore in the game, but I've fully scanned them both and got nothing, though I've gathered quite a bit about them from their voice lines. It's really not often you see female Grinner characters, so I was kind bummed. Also, while their new animations are really cool, it would be much more interesting if Sprag used the Jat Kittag, instead of the Manticore, maybe Ven'ka could use the Buzlok as well! I hope these two are going to get some polish and replace the Bosses of Phobos, because that's been long overdue. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casardis Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I'm also disappointed that their model is simply a modified female Grineer a la Ballista, instead of getting their own model. It doesn't help that their Hellion jet pack wasn't even redesigned and used mismatched textures compared to theirs. I do agree that Sprag should use Jat Kittag. It's just fitting with the whole jet-thing, especially because she can do a fiery hammer slam with her weapon. We already have one of the G3 using Manticore, and since both of these female Grineer are just rehashed models anyway, reusing yet another weapon used by another mini-boss is kind of a bummer design-wise. They could use some work, but damn, I love their animations. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noveltyhero Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Annoyed me how I thought "yay new cool mini boss to fight" then our Rhino stomped, and Soma'd both of them >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petersheikah Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I don't like the fact that they can be oneshotted by any mid tier weapon. I was expecting a nice stage boss fight, the double boss could have a LOT of potential, but I didn't enjoyed the battle. Mainly because it wasn't a battle, it was a "shot twice, kill them both."

Archistopheles Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I'm also really hoping that these models are only temporary. They have to be... They're using Frontier Hellion jetpacks FFS. Might as well be a giant sore thumb at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, their talking icons don't use their color schemes, and their lips don't move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Othergrunty Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) I'm also disappointed that their model is simply a modified female Grineer a la Ballista, instead of getting their own model. It doesn't help that their Hellion jet pack wasn't even redesigned and used mismatched textures compared to theirs. One of the devs recently stated something interesting about the female Grineer. https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/309495-corpus-a-boring-and-sterile-faction-lacking-in-unit-variety/ We do have plans for more Corpus enemies in the future, including a modular one who'll be able to be assembled from various pieces to create variation, like the female Grineer enemy. We don't have an ETA for when these will appear in the game though. Seems like this is the first result of said modular design. It's just that they didn't fully colored the jetpack. So i guess that is actualy DE's attempt at giving them their own model. There is room for improvement however.

What Draice meant is how female Grineer, particularly the Ballista, has different variation of the same unit. Sometimes they have more armor pieces like the Heavy Gunner, while other times they look like an orange Scorpion. That doesn't change the fact that these new sisters are simply recolors of a fully armored Ballista with only a few new pieces. That's hardly a unique model, and if they were to be bosses, even mini bosses, I'd prefer they use completely unique models like Vor and Ruk. I also still think Sprag should use Jat Kittag while Ven'kra uses the new rifle instead. That's why I hope they are still very WIP, from gameplay to the models.

painterman Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 The other thing is they have no mods drops, only a 100% on resource, not even a rare one. I was hoping to dual element/status mods to be released soon. Also sedna boss, kela de thaym , may get a rework at the same moment as the sisters. Bad english :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't meant to say that they had unique models because of the modular design, i just mistook it for DE trying to create a semi-unique model via modularity. However wouldn't Kela De Thaym be higher on the list of characters who need a new model rather than two mini-bosses who only appear as event enemies so far? New models take time. Though she also needs a bit of more personality too. Hopefully she is next in line after Tyl Regor and the Anyos. Oh and i completely agree on the Jet Kittag.

No, as a solo player getting to 15 exposure was hard enough, giving them mowr fire power would kill all my chances, and i don't like the idea of not completing the event because i got DNS issues and can't join a squad of freeloaders.

I'm fairly sure one of them right now is using the Ballista's sniper though. Hitscane one shotter, or travel time suppressant fire. I think I know which one I'd rather deal with. And Kittag vs manticore is mostly a cosmetic change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be cosmetic, but at least it's more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
