(XBOX)LilHypezKiid Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I was just thinking about how maybe warframes could have a fifth ability, I'm not sure if it would work but I wanted to get it out there. What do you think and if there was a fifth ability what what frame would it be and what would the ability do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePresident777 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) Sure, but what would be the purpose? The issue I have with the general frame work of Warframe abilities is that 4 abilities with a 25, 50, 75, 100 energy layout seems purposeless, arbitrary. Also, a lot of the abilities themselves seem purposeless. For instance compare damage type 1 abilities vs. damage type 4 abilities. Why would one spend 25 energy to do a tenth of the damage, or less, than what one does with an ult for only 4 times the cost? In energy drain nightmare mode, one might use the 1 ability, but, not in an energy rich environment. So, what would be the purpose of the 5th ability? Would it be a stealth ability? Or, some other purpose? How many abilties a Warframe has doesn't seem as important to me as the purpose of the abilities. A lot, if not most, players do not use all their Warframe's abilities. So, there is an excess capacity of ability slots, until there is a purpose given to them. Edited February 20, 2015 by ThePresident777 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealPandemonium Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Make the 5th abilities radial nukes and make them use their own resource that builds up slowly. Make the current radial nukes something more interesting. Leave the radial nukes that have trade-offs (like Overload and Sound Quake.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePresident777 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 5th ability as stealth nerf is not a valid purpose. A game play purpose is best. Choice is best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)WiiConquered Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Radial nukes are not choice. Radial nukes COULD BE choice. They aren't in a game where energy is easy to come by, the nukes are generally better at everything than at least one other ability in each kit, and mods completely remove downsides from them.

TBH i wouldn't want more radial nukes in the game, they are just too easy to use and basically kill everything without any thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaurdianaq Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Make the 5th ability a passive one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)LilHypezKiid Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 Make the 5th ability a passive one. That sounds reasonable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vomder Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Could make a 5th ability a set of utility powers that any frame could use. What they could be though is the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archangelzz Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I don't know about a 5 ability that requires energy but the 5th could be like a passive ability that is always functioning but never uses energy, and just requires certain circumstances to be triggered.

Vargras Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Why would one spend 25 energy to do a tenth of the damage, or less, than what one does with an ult for only 4 times the cost? You poor thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onebearz Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Maybe fixing the first 4 abilities is better than to have a fifth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
