Tweaking

[Mvtty]

Idea is cool, but i won't farm spy missions again like for Ivara, was boring as f**k.

[DatDarkOne]

Seems like an Ivara made to hack except without the damage. Word of note, Ivara's Prowl already increases damage and gives a headshot bonus.

Interesting concept, but I can't say it's a viable alternative. This is only due to lack of incentive to do stealth currently in the game. This concept also seems to be limited to being useful only in rescue and spy missions. This could possibly change with future updates.

Not trying to knock your efforts OP, just offering a honest critique.

Really? Didn't know that she got a damage bonus.

I did know loki did though.

 

Well, warframes are tools, each has a purpose.

At least, that's what they were originally.

Loki was the stealth guy, rhino was the tank, excal was the jack of all traits leader,

mag was also a jack, but less effective in some places, but much more effective in others,

trin the healer, frost the defender, ember the glass cannon!

No problem fellow Tenno.  Most don't use her as much in the role of attacker like I do(at least going by what most post in the forums.  :D) 

Back to your concept.  Is there any way that you can probably add more ideas that can increase her use/effectiveness in other mission types?  Maybe make the augments part of the default kit (possibly using mechanic  like how Vauban and Ivara do).  So far It sounds great for solo play. 

This is just me, but make her look damn good.  I'll play/buy any frame that looks good even if they don't play well.  Yes, I've been infected with the Fashion Frame bug.  Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.  Thanks for reading.  :D

Oh! Sorry for not replying sooner!

 

Well, her first power can be used to close/lock doors, which I figured would be good for most other missions,

because it would allow you to bottleneck enemies, or block off sections of the map entirely.

Her 4th, blackout, would also slowdown enemies in most maps, since they'd have to pry open each door on their way to their destination.

On sortie defence she'd be able to lock the hostage in a room, making him/her completely safe,

since the locked door would prevent enemies spawning on the other side, and prevent enemies from getting to him in the first place.

In Rescue missions she can just use her first to open the cell doors, as well as lock the doors behind her on the way to extraction.

In survival she'd be able to lock doors allowing you to control the amount of enemies that enter a room at one time.

In Interception she can use her first power to quickly take over a interception point.

I'm thinking her first should be her 2nd now, seeing how useful it could be.

 

As for her appearance, i'd think something simple, like a jumpsuit,

with some leather straps, and maybe a scarf/poncho like thing with maybe a hood.

[mrbalthazr]

I gotta agree with DatDarkOne, current gameplay (as far as my rusty out of date eyes can see) isn't really built for this, BUT STILL, more sneaky options is always nice.  Still I could see a combo of her #1 and #4 being fun to use in Defense if it makes the AI forget where their target is.

I never though of that actually lol.

But enemies can pry open the doors as they go, it just takes them a bit.

Like, normally it would take just a second for the door to open,

but when there is no power they'd need to get one of the new engineer units to tamper with the door for a few seconds to open it.

[General_Durandal]

Changed her core stats, and added an interception capture % to her bypass power.

[General_Durandal]

Changed her core stats, and added an interception capture % to her bypass power.

[General_Durandal]

Master thief passive replaced with, pickpocket.

False alarm has been replaced with lockpick, which can lock and unlock door, as well as unlock lockers.

Lockpick augment is Skeleton key, which allows you to use any dragon key to open a derelict vault.

Prowl has been replaced with sneak, it's augment allows you to see things through walls like you can with the scanner.

[General_Durandal]

Fixed the horrible white background.

[General_Durandal]

Reduced Passive pickpocket's range to 2 meters,

removed the cypher augment and added,

Augment: Trap
Casting Bypass on a console or door will set a trap.
The next time an enemy tried to use it,
an explosion will trigger dealing, 
100/200/300/400 blast damage, and knocking them down.

to her 2nd.

[General_Durandal]

Reduced health.

Bypass Augment changed to,

• Firewall
• Enemies can't access the affected console or door for a duration.
•  
• Duration: 20/40/60/80 second

 

 

[General_Durandal]

Augment: Firewall, can now effect Interception consoles, but with a reduced duration.

 

Added to Blackout,

• Enemies can pry, or hack open doors, they stay open.
• Enemies with flashlights and night vision are open to back attacks for the duration.
• Enemies without flashlights and night vision are blind for the duration.

 

Raised, Augment: EMP's magnet damage to shields.

[General_Durandal]

Reduced speed and jump height.

Lowered health and armor.

Pickpocket Passive range increased, and duration decreased.

Augment: Skeleton Key now consumes the dragon key when used to unlock treasury doors.

Added AoE to Bypass.

Increased Sneak's radar range.

 

[General_Durandal]

fancy-d up the page

[BlackDiamondAce]

Base stats are dead via sneeze, but the abilities are clunky.  I mean pickpocket? Fine she's a thief but the bandit motto is you'll be easier to loot when you're dead.  Having extra loot drop upon kills would be more thematic.

 

her first two abilities feel exactly the same and are incredibly over powered.  Especially when ciphers and kubrows exist, as well as the master thief mod.

her third: God it is a useless stealth ability.  Who wants 100% invisibility when not moving?  And why would you want anything else?  I mean: Loki has a 100% ability at level 5, with a good duration and an augment to suppress weapons. (Which is funny in pvp with an opticor).  Ash had smoke bomb which has an aoe ally cloak augment.  With good costs and good duration.  Ivara has a good and cheap stealth with amazing duration.  Her ability is underwhelming and useless.  

 

Fourth: god damn it another trolling ability that will ruin fun for allies.

Thief = a person who steals another person's property, especially by stealth and without using force or violence.

Bandit = a robber or outlaw belonging to a gang and typically operating in an isolated or lawless area.

rogue https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS718US718&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=rogue+meaning
The most used one for this kind of thing,
"a person whose behavior one disapproves of but who is nonetheless likable or attractive (often used as a playful term of reproof)."
The "Rogue"  is usually the charming thief, that steals both your money, and your heart. But not your life. They could though.

eh.  a rogue from my experience in practice isnt a vigilante, but someone of the same status that doesnt do good

I didn't say vigilante.
I said a thief that steals your money, and heart. Heart as in, your love, because they are charming.

Tall me of these murderous rogues you speak of?

It's not the class that determines the character's alignment, it's their alignment.
A chaotic evil character will always be chaotic evil. Same with A lawful good one.
Just because you play your Thief character in a role playing game as a bandit, doesn't mean all thieves are bandits.
and even less so, assassins.
I played an evil knight character before, oh no, now excalibur is evil.
I played an evil paladin also, oh no, does that meen oberon is evil too?
