tripletriple Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) With the much needed removal of super jump from excalibur and the upcoming parkour 2.0 why does Vauban still have his bounce pads? Their sole purpose is to troll your teammates at this point. With the removal of bounce pads that opens up the potential for new useful abilities for vauban. Maybe a new buff ball that buffs your teams defenses and damage while linked to it. Or a ball that can heal you and your teams energy and health at a slow rate. The possibilities are endless. DE remove the bounce pads! Edited May 21, 2015 by tripletriple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husla Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 They are for crowd control or lace crap ton of these in a small room and they deal alot of damage. If your game hasn't crashed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDRLOz Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Though the bounce pads give him an odd "unique" ability I would agree that it is not really that useful. However it may become more useful in parkour 2.0, but even then it has yet to be seen if parkour 2,0 will yield any actually useful options into standard gunplay. So yeah... for now I thing bounce pads as a proper ability feel a bit weak. Why not just make the jump affect and augment for his tesla orbs.

TheFalseEclipse Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) Bounce can be devastating at earlier level of defense and survival... place bounce at door or create a shield around cyropod On later level... jump higher and coptering? EDIT: buff balls sound nice... i can already see buff ball-needed at recruiting tab,,, replacing other buffer. maybe nice maybe not..

Iceheart125 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 see, i like tossing them on interception missions in front of the consoles, buys me more time. otherwise, annoying hallway heros can easily be dissuaded by a few (dozen) pads stuck to them, sending them everywhere allll at once!

They're great for anti-trolling. Or rather, counter trolling... And I wouldn't trade them for anything *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)CoolD2108 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 They are for crowd control or lace crap ton of these in a small room and they deal alot of damage. If your game hasn't crashed. Not to forget the 100% magnetic status chance. They are also pretty usefull in T defenses. Just set them on the laser panner and enemys get smacked back. Seriously. Thers a couple abilitys in the game that have troll potential. But its up to the players in the end. Don't blame a mechanic cause of trolls. Put the trolls on your ignore. Easy solution.

-Vane- Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Calling them anything except useless is stretching it. You haven't chosen a right path. You dishonor the name of Vauban. Your suggestion is a disgrace to all Bounce users! On more serious note: Because unlike super-jump it affects enemies and deal 100% magnetic proc. Trust me or not, it kills on T4. Not lying, up to wave 20 it can kill with a few jumps, and Is a good way to keep the pesky melee enemiec away from the consoles. So what it has is a utility. What'd like to see is a Bounce link. An augment that links two of the Bounces into a giant bounce. The more you stack the bigger it gets. Suggestion: MORE BOUNCES PER PAD DE!!!

KiraShado Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 In a game like Warframe where there's lots and lots of bloodshed, it's good to pack a few pads to soak it up, just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyeless Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 This ability has a lot of spontaneous utility against most of the game's enemies save for bosses/Stalker/Zanuka. I don't get why more people don't go out of their way to utilize it for just about everything. All it takes is a creative mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealPandemonium Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Let's just replace every mobility power with a 999999999 damage, 999m range radial nuke so that people will finally be satisfied. No one wants to use their imaginations, so let's give them what they really want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibikiGanaha Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Calling them anything except useless is stretching it. It keeps enemies from hacking consoles in the last stage of The Law of Retribution. There have been lots of other uses listed, it seems like you are the only one stretching the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
