Devstream #80 Overview

[AM-Bunny]

War Within
• War Within will add a lot of voice lines to Operators - around 200 additional lines per voice
• In addition to new music for the cinematics, there will be new music for the War Within tileset
• The scope of the story in War Within should surpass Second Dream - the script read took abour 2.5 hours
• The leaked scipt for War Within was only the first draft - the final version is completely different from it
• Release date for War Within is unknown - Steve is doubtful that it will be released in September afterall, but it will be *around* that timeframe

Vacuum Update
• The devs are investigating removing Carrier's Vacuum
• Carrier will instead increase a player's max ammo and give ammo mutation
• Vacuum would be split into 3 different kinds of Vacuums that will be equippable on all Seninels

Syndicate Expansion
• VIP Assassination system is being added
• You'll be able to visit Syndicates and ask for a VIP target
• These VIP targets will be specific targets for you as a player, not global targets like Acolytes
• The difficulty and rewards will scale according to the player level
• If you are defeated by the target, the target will grow stronger, like Shadows of Mordor's Nemesis system
• If you are unable to defeat the VIP target within a timeframe, you will lose standing with the Syndicate
• There will be a separate Syndicate system that will be the reverse of this assassination system that will involve rescuing and protecting VIP targets
• These systems won't be implemented until after War Within
• Perrin Sequence may be next to get some story/character development

New Speargun Primary Weapon
• Work is progressing on the new Speargun primary, it's functioning in-game now
• There are a huge number of animations that need to be completed, work is progressing slowly but surely
• There are at least 3 Speargun weapons that are being designed - one Tenno, and one Grineer
• Click HERE to see several of the new Speargun animations

Fusion System Update, Part 2
• Maroo will give you a special weekly mission that will allow you to obtain a Treasure
• The Treasures will be able to be found randomly in missions as well
• Treasures can be converted to a large amount of Endo, or placed on the ship as a decoration
• Treasures parts can be combined into complete Treasures to greatly increase their value
• Treasures can be traded with other players
• Click HERE to see Rebecca attempt Maroo's special mission

Other Stuff
• There are no active plans to implement an unarmed moveset
• Geoff is interested in expanding movement and parkour, but there probably won't be time to get to that this year
• The devs are going to implement separate colouring for armour and syandanas, just a matter of making the time to implement it properly
• The devs have tried to re-work Ash's Bladestorm several times , but have never been able to settle on anything they are happy with; it's an ongoing process
• The devs are keenly aware of a lot of the key issues with Warframe, including damage and armor scaling, and endless mission rewards
• Warframe will be available on XBox One S and PS Pro; they want to implement true HDR graphics
• An interesting pie chart was shown that displayed how players spent their time over a single weekend (shown below)

There you are. Thanks
About time we get vacuum for all sentinels. It's been long overdue.
Remember Glenn's joke?

[arch111]

Thanks for the sumup :)

[(PSN)obsidiancurse]

Fast work, thanks.

Massive thumbs down for carrier rework, not so much his rework but vacuum. Lol, who has room on their sentinal for even one more mod, let alone 3? Wish players would just stop complaining about stuff, this is what happens.

[(PSN)Magician_NG]

As always, quick like a bunny, Bunny.

Thanks.

[flamedance58]

Thanks as usual AM-Bunny!

[mob9221]

[Sputnik]

God i hope they dont mess it up and nerf vacuum so it will be useless, and why split it to 3 different mods god why make it so difficult they should just leave vacuum as it is just make it a mod for all sentinels and kubrows and cats thats it why make it difficult!?

I can already see rage threads incoming about it >.>

Yeah, I'm assuming it will be something like:

• Ammo Vacuum
• Health/Energy Orb Vacuum
• Mod/Endo Vacuum

So it's kind of like a nerf... but I think Vacuum is what most people view as the main functionality of Sentinels, so it's worth the slots, I think.

[lemonpepperwet]

@AM-Bunny I heard from someone that they brought up endless missions. Any word on those?

As long as you can combine the three mods to customize Vacuum to your liking, im ok with that.

They did bring it up, but just in the context that they're aware of our concerns, and are actively working on addressing them. Nothing particularly specific.

[S0V3REiGN]

Thanks bunny.

 

man, I am not happy that vacuum is getting split into 3 separate mods. I would honestly just rather keep carrier. typical DE, If they can't fix it they will just nerf it.
