Polarize rework sounds like a nerf vs Corpus - the expanding bubble will cause the first enemy in a clump to blow first, reducing the damage dealt by further enemies in the group by reducing their shields, right?  Fair trade for it working vs grineer though.

Haha, yeah, I'm predicting a lot of angry threads once people get their hands on the new Mag and realize she can't wipe a Corpus map out with the push of a button!

Although, the tradeoff is that she can now fight Grineer, so it seems harsh but fair. Mag's my most played Warframe, but I'm going to try and go into with an open mind.

I never play Mag because her kit wasn't my cup of tea, but looking at the rework, she might be my new main.Also can wait for Volt rework. I'm excited to see it in the future!

She looks interesting, definitely and improvement over how she use to function. But it's not enough for me to pick her up again and use her, for that I think she'd need to be able to Katamari Damacy enemies around as her ult

Banshee's deluxe skin coming after oberon is kind of disappointing. I was really looking forward to it and expected it every week since the last devstream (since it was nearly done). I get that it is hold back by the weapon skins but why start working on the next project if the first one isn't finished. I mean yeah- i guess the design team has subteams but why is the complete oberon set done before the banshee set?

Is the concept on the banshee weapons not finalized or is it just how they look?

Don't get me wrong though. Banshee and Oberon both need a bit of attention but i think banshee deserves it more as of now.

Depending on how Polarize is implemented, Mag could be a new Frost-esque defensive frame.

Well, Magnetize looks like it's going to be her main defensive power. But yeah, she's going to probably end up being kind of power-spammy like Saryn.

Considering that Polarize will be bumped up to 75 energy cost most likely, and Polarize and Magnetize will both benefit largely from Duration, it will be difficult to have max Fleeting Expertise anymore. I'm worried she's going to be starved for energy constantly... although they did mention that magnetized enemies will drop Energy when Pulled, so I guess I'll wait and see.

No surprise Oberon's skin is coming first, Banshee is literally the least played warframe in the game.

Sad because she's a great frame to use. A squishy frame but still able to strip away defenses like nothing.

reworking frames is taking way too much time and it seems the changes aren't so big, like saryn for example, i wonder how many years it'll take to see a chroma rework

I've been saying this entirely too much, but I wish they would focus on Warframe revamps and just stop producing all these superfluous, redundant new Warframes.

There are plenty of things the modelers could work on other than new Warframes, like new deluxe skins. They could increase the rate that PBR is applied to Warframes. The people that come up with powers could think up some new Augments. Etc.

But yeah, you're not kidding. It will probably be literally years.

I wouldn't have said there would be much uproar in regards to this either considering how many frames we have.

 

I totally agree. I'd love them to cease on new Warframes and focus on other content such as revamps. Heck, it'd make getting a new frame feel exciting and new for a change. That and give DE time to really work on developing ideas and concepts.

exactly my thoughts, i'm sick of these new frames, i really don't see anything new in warframe besides more useless content, rework is something that the game needs in urgent, like the scalability and start chart, but hey, let's make new content that people has been asking so much (bullS#&$, just being sarcastic)

Yeah, I remember back when Mirage was first released - she was the first Quest Warframe - Scott said he thought it would be cool to go back and make acquisition Quests for the older Warframes.

I think the devs did a really great job with the Inaros Quest... imagine how amazing it would be to see something similar for Excalibur and Mag and all the other classics! Rather than having some Warframes drop from Eximus units, some from Manics, some from bosses, some from Research lab, etc... what if every Warframe had a Quest associated with them? That would be so great, but it can never happen when the devs are constantly working on the Quest for the latest Warframe.

Aghh.

• Console build is up to 18.6.5 and is being sent for cert on March 25, will be playable early April
 

I think you flipped two numbers there.  I thought it was 18.5.6.  PC isn't even on 18.6.5 yet.  Thanks for the summary.

personally I'm disappointed that Scott failed to see how toxic loot abilities are for particular frames and where the toxicity comes from, I mean hell the changes made to pilfering swarm were because of toxic reactions from players. And Nekros is forever going to be the farmer joe of warframe because as amazing as the rest of his kit is desecrate is all he is known for by 80% of the player base, and on top of it all it encourages the horrendous RNG we have in this game

The horrendous RNG predates all loot powers by quite a while.  I'd wager that's by design.  Casinos work on the same principle, and fare very well. RNG is not going anywhere.

The fundamental mistake there is that loot powers don't make frames farmers.  They're all farmers, all the time, because the game is about farming.  All that varies is how they go about it.

sad to hear about the Banshee skin :sadcry: , did they discused anything about the lst weekend DDoS attacks or the current Login issues? it doesnt seems like a problem with DDoS and more like the TA code(without proof but same as the last weekend got the same problem just a couple of minutes after the TA was activated again this week, i was and still are unable to login)

Wow. I never knew. Is it the same? I am one of those who really miss the old charge.

no its different and I honestly kinda prefer it this way but how they work now is with the exception of glaives gunblades and sword+whips you can only use a charge attack with your melee equipped in hand, you do a normal attack first and you continue to hold the attack button and it will go in to a charge attack, you can also press and hold it again with the right timing to go right in to another charge attack with a different animation (all weapons have 2 charge attacks except sword+whips they have 4 and glaives they only have 1)

Still no talking of a Zephyr rework.

Have DE not heard of the communities rants.

DE your seem pretty ignorant ATM.

I may just leave war frame if the next devstream doesn't talk about revamping Zephyr.

to be fair there are honestly frames more in need of an update than zephyr either because they are just in that bad of a condition, or they are that out dated, not saying that zephyr doesn't need some tweeks she does, but I think mag (who has been in a bad place fora very long time) and volt take priority considering both their age and how they are the first frames a new player would get and as things are now volt and mag are horribly out classed by excal

 

besides Scott said eventually all frames are getting reworked so I'm sure zephyr is on their radar
