LANKA

 

The LANKA fires a high velocity projectile through magnetic induction.

 

Unless LANKA is some acronym I'm unaware of, it shouldn't be all capitalized in the flavour text.

 

Loosley Acronymed No-more Kenetic Attack

[(PSN)GR13V4NC3]

Volt doesn't offer an alternative to gunplay, he enhances it, tremendously... probably one of the top frames for using guns.

[Marrt]

Not really this type of description but the Conclave-Arsenal is showing the PVE-Stats instead of the PVP-Stats on Weapons and some cryptic modifier value for Warframe shields

[-NTB-Cris0407]

Carrier/Prime seems to be funny.

This ornate sentinel is an excellent example of late Orokin craftsmanship and styling.

[(PSN)Unlucky1307]

Potentially plasma sword as it's sitting at a 15% crit chance whereas there are MANY melee weapons with 20-25% and even a couple that get higher than that and it specifically has its high crit chance mentioned which could be misleading to newer players since so many other weapons surpass its crit chance.

Deception mission type explanation is still in the codex, but the mission is no longer used.

[DustyFlash]

Scoliac is described as being a whip with heart stopping toxin, but the toxin isn't even in the stats, the toxin only works on slam attacks and has a chance to proc toxin instead of guarante.

[Dragonzzilla]

Is this also a place to point out grammar/spelling errors not exclusive to item descriptions?

[Fallen_Echo]

I just noticed yesterday that many meele weappns linked in the chat have magazines.

[Hiiamwilliam]

Not sure if this should be here, but there's a Lotus VO where she says the word Grineer but in her subtitles it's referred as foot soldiers, or something like this.

So I did the scheduled visit to Maroo for an Ayatan pickup, and noticed this:

As Maroo's Bazaar is different than functioning Relays, I figure this needs a bit of an update, if possible.

"Excalibur Prime is the epitome of mobility and offense, and features the same abilities as Excalibur, but has unique mod polarities installed allowing for greater customization."

Not sure what it should say, but epitome of mobility and offense is a bit of a stretch, excellent frame, nostalgic stats.

P.S.: Never going to give up trying to get him buffed up like a true Prime.

i would change stradavar's description, i says that stradavar is a strong machinegun, but on practice it much more viable semi-auto weapon.

My wife, the evil Doctor Literal, is bothered by your use of Blue Prints, as consumable Items. Instead she suggested the use of Nano SEEDS <Structuring Engineering Executable Design Systems>  that way it makes sense when they get used up. Functioning as a catalyst for the robotic parts and a semi-organic guide for the foundry. In this way warframes are half built and half grown. It seems to be lore friendly as well.

That is true. Why throw away a blueprint?

Equinoxes mend ability suggests it heals allies with each enemy killed which is not the case. It builds a healing "charge" overtime which is released when the ability is deactivated 

 

Mend & Maim
In Night Form, allies are healed with each nearby enemy killed.

WAVE

A Tenno display of power and technique, followed up with a short bow.

This is not an accurate description of the Wave emote.

[LeakingAmps]

If it's not been mentioned already, Hydroid's Pilfering Swarm augment has an outdated description. It still says that enemies need to be killed by the tentacles, when this is no longer the case.

The same goes for 'Follow' and 'Meditate'

Chroma parts are a rewards from the junctions that are after the europa junction.

Hi everyone,

It isn't now an obsolete description in the codex what will be mentioned, my apologies for it.

Latest after the introduction of the Second Dream and The War within , we became aware that our frames are merely vessels with which we interact in the Sol system.

Yet the following terms may not be appropriate/obsolete:

Deaths (in the resumé screen after a mission)

Bleed out (the counter)

Revival (after the frame hits the ground).

It may be a philosophical point of view if a Frame can actual die. But a frame can be build and merely is 'just' a biometal husks to cheat death and harness the desctrive void powers.In addition if you use up all your 'revives', basiclly you would need to build a new one (similar to our sentinels), if not retrieving whats left of the frame. (Burned to ashes by a Napalm etc). True death would be if the operator has been killed. (Eaten by the Guardian etc)

So wouldn' t it be more appropriate to change it as follow:

Deaths to Lost Connections

Revive to Restore Connection

Bleed out time to Lose of connection (maybe introducing a flickering while the countdown is running out?)

Best regards

Arcane Energize

ON ENERGY PICKUP: 40% chance to replenish energy to nearby allies (R4)

to

On Energy Orb Pickup: 40% chance to gain a bonus +100 energy for yourself and allies *per energy orb.*

 

* = may be removed, completely optional.

Boar Prime:One of the finest examples of Tenno craftsmanship, the Boar Prime offers a higher rate of fire and clip size with a slight decrease in per-shot damage .

Don't know about that... The Boar prime does overall more damage, and a very small decrease in slash. But the main thing is the description says a decrease in per-shot damage, and the Boar Prime does more damage per-shot.

Console version of Kickbots response to finding resources tells players to hover over the extractor icon as opposed to pressing the right stick.
