Changes:

The Saita Prime Operator Suit has been visually changed due to concerning feedback on the original design. Please see our Saita Prime Operator Suit PSA here: https://forums.warframe.com/topic/727923-coming-soon-saita-prime-operator-suit-alterations/
In preparation for our upcoming holiday campaign, we have increased the number of gifts you can send with Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) enabled. Currently, you must be Mastery Rank 2 to start gifting. The higher your Mastery Rank the more gifts can be sent per day (similar to max trades per day). Once you reach Mastery Rank 8 you will be required to enable 2FA to continue to increase your max gifts per day. Once enabled, that number will continue to increase, as it did before, by Mastery Rank. If 2FA is not enabled at Mastery Rank 8, your max gifts per day will not increase.

Casting speed Mods (Natural Talent) now affect:
- Loki’s Decoy
- Chroma’s Vex Armor
- Saryn’s Spores and Toxic Lash
- Excalibur’s Radial Blind
- Ivara’s Artemis Bow (while ziplining) and Navigator (while ziplining), Quiver, and Prowl
- Inaros’ Scarab Swarm
- Oberon’s Smite
- Ash’s Smoke Screen
- Equinox’s Metamorphosis

NEW MODS!

Aceofgods · December 1, 2016

Hmm...

The new Kuva mission is alot of fun :D I'd like to see more 80-100 content in the future.

*When a Host leaves an Excavation mission when players first enter the ring of the first Excavator (When it starts to fall from the sky, before it hits the ground) the entire mission becomes impossible after host migration.

* [Icy Avalanche] doesn't remove the buff icon when falling in a pit, though it does remove the buff from the player.
