Devstream #78 Overview

[AM-Bunny]

War Within Tetralogy
• The August part will include Titania and the (Syndicate based) Quest that she's obtained from
• The August part will include the update to the Fusion System
• The August part will include the Glyph System
• The fourth part will launch some time after August and will include many surprises
• Read more about this development in Megan's post here

Upcoming Augments
• Augments for Nezha and Inaros are coming to PC on the weeks of August 17 and 31
• Nezha Augment will allow Warding Halo to be cast on an ally
• Inaros Sandstorm inherits melee elemental mods to apply procs on enemies that come in contact with the storm
• Nezha Warding Halo can be cast on targeted ally

Syndicate Melee Weapons
• Red Veil - Dark Dagger
• Perrin Sequence - Lecta
• Cephalon Suda - Heliocor
• Arbiters of Hexis - Boltace
• Steel Meridian - Sydon
• New Loka - Magistar

 

Glyphs
• Glyphs are essentially spraytags that allow you to place your player icon on walls
• The number of player icons is increasing dramatically, and the existing ones are getting much higher resolution
• To place a Glyph, you need to purcahse a Glyph Projector from the market with credits

 

  
Lunaro Updates
• There are new arenas coming, including one with a sideways goal for new game dynamics
• Crowdsourced servers are being tested
• A button dedicated to Passing is being tested
• Click HERE to see Rebecca practice on a new arena!

 

Titania
• Passive: 25% Better Bullet Jump and also leaves behind a temporary field that gives teammates the same boost within
• #1 Dust Bomb: Radial power that will suspend enemies in the air, effectively stunning them for good cc
• #2 Soul Swipe: Any enemy hit with the cone shaped power will give Titania a buff; the exact buff will differ by enemy type
• #3 Lamplighter: Suspend one enemy, Titania's razor butterflies will float around it, and all surrounding enemies are lured into that enemy
• #4 Shrink: Titania becomes miniature, assuming the old Archwing controls. In this form she has unique Archguns and Archmelee that scale with her regular weapon mods
• All of Titania's powers are available while she is in her shrunken form
• Click HERE to see Rebecca play Titania in the new Grineer Fortress tileset!

 

Upcoming Nekros Changes
• As discussed, Desecrate is being changed to a toggle
• The Health Orb drop chance from Desecrate is being reduced so that Despoil is less effective
• Shadows of the Dead will no longer be duration based, it seems as though they remain until they die
• The number of Shadows Nekros can have active will be capped for performance issues; they will be stronger in compensation
• The specific enemy unit Nekros summons with his SotD will be selected from the best units he's killed recently
• Recasting Shadows of the Dead while Shadows are active will heal your active Shadows while also spawning more up to the cap
• Recasting Shadows of the Dead while you have Shadows active will also reduce the cast time proportional to the number of new units spawned

Console Build
• The goal is to cut off the next build today (August 5)
• The first 5 Tennogen items will be available sometime this Summer: Jattuk Syandana, Mesa Falcon Helmet, Nsaru Syandana, Rota Syandana, and Hagoromo Zephyr Skin
• These Tennogen items will be purchasable with platinum

Other Stuff
• PC Players will not have the opportunity to purchase Tennogen items for platinum for legal reasons
• More colourblind options for doors are coming, debuting in the new Grineer Fortress tileset
• New character lighting is in the works that should improve enemy visibility
• In a coming update, Arcane Enhancements will be free to remove from cosmetics and Arcane Distillers will be removed
• The next batch of Tennogen for PC is coming in August
• In the Titania Update, the Arsenal select UI will display when a weapon is Mastered and how many Forma you've placed on it
• Titania's Quest will bring new Auras into the game (possibly the unreleased ones that were along with EMP Aura)
• The Lunaro Arcata is being added to PvE as a new variation on thrown melee weapons (click HERE to see Rebecca demo it)

 

Lastly, my apologies for the tardy overview. As I alluded here, I'm currently out of town and staying in a hotel. Thank you for understanding!

Thanks again for your summary Bunny. Even though it was late I'm glad you let people know about that ahead of time.

[mac10smg--Toa_of_Green]

I am one of the first.

Today is a glorious day for the Mag overlords...

[(PSN)robotwars7]

 better late than never!

thanks for posting as always bunny, looking forward to Syndicate Melees and Titania as well as the Nekros rework. a lot of good stuff coming our way.

[Knightmare047]

Thanks for the overview :D

[Flareux]

Thank you for making these ^^ so handy

[AsahiOka]

Thank you as always!

[(PSN)IMainTheMains]

Thanks for your efforts of consistently posting excellent devstream overviews, @AM-Bunny. Although I don't need this overview today, as I managed to catch the stream, I find your commitment to always posting Good overviews quickly, both, impressive and admirable. 

[(PSN)CrazyTL89]

Thank you for your hard work. 

You're still much faster than the official one next week sometime.

Which also has very little or zero important info provided. This one the other hand is concise, specific and informative.

[Aoden]

Thank you so much for your work, @AM-Bunny.

Your overviews are always top notch and beyond helpful for those with streaming issues.

 

Really looking forward to Titania, and Sinoid Heliocor >:D

PC Players will not have the opportunity to purchase Tennogen items for platinum for legal reasons
Then don't shift your focus of all the fashion gear to tennogen. They are also overpriced - because i simply haven't seen anyone with any tennogen stuff ingame.

This. This exactly, you can get some of my money if you charge them for platinum, DE. Won't get any if I have to pay an arm and a leg.

[LordOfScrugging]

very salty over arbiters getting the shaft again. (not saying tonfa are bad or the boltace is bad) No other syndicate has a "theme" red veil get their dagger, SM get their rod of justice, sude gets their cephalon hammer, but arbiters? the syndicate who literally has a sword in every place they can put one! (every sigil/ syandana) Boltace. one job DE. of all tenno weapons, you choose the boltace. "we're using lesser used weapons" where is the telos jaw sword? the telos pangolin sword? telos nami skyla? telos tonbo? literally there are tons of other weapons beside the bolt family. might as well rename the syndicate to arbiters of boltor since i can see a single bolto for the next syndicate side arm -_-

[-CCC-Secret]

Thanks again @AM-Bunny, a bit later than usual, but has more information it feels like I've watched the stream myself!

Great job, keep up the good work!

Can we please move on like we didn't see this coming. Seriously why did you guys even hold out hope it wouldn't happen.

[Tymerc]

Quick as a lit-... No, not this time.

[MagPrime]

Woo!

Seems neat.  We'll see how it meshes with the res of the game.

RIP Nekros

"In other news... Sports-related violence has reached record highs, as Lunaro teams hit the battlefield with their trusty Arcatas. If you're Grineer, Corpus or Infested, now would be a good time to invest in sports equipment, or a sturdy wall between you and the oncoming teams."

Now I want to see grineer armor dressed up as football (American) or hockey equipment.

Ahem:

[AM-Bunny]

Oh wow, i just now noticed the official overview is already up! Whats more, it has info not covered in the devstream. Specifically, it includes some augments that weren't mentioned and lists the Red Veil weapon as dark split sword, which makes more sense considering they have a dark dagger augment. Impressive work!

Seems like kendo armor almost, or at least the mask. I guess that counts.
