Hotfix 8.3

[Keltik0ne]

The new lag/stuttering is really unpleasant.

[Dataz]

Added improved Solar Landmark system for Grandmasters.

For who? Overall view is improved but if you click on any planet, mission choice view is a bit broken. Mission names are too close, can barely read them! Please fix it.  Previously they were scattered over whole display.

[Bornstellar]

Might make you laugh.

[OMGYourMom]

There was alot of goodies today.

[xsc2]

So many changes and fixes, it's long even to read it. Thanks!

[Voltyr]

You killed my Rhino, he drowned in his warframe because he couldn't stop crying tears of joy after this update.

[suneater]

Really nice patch, thanks for all the bug fixes and buffs.

 

Hopefully no more falling out of the map now!

[Campkillz]

I sorta liked Volt without the animation. At least speed it up, too drawn out.

[Jhakoon]

'Improved enemy waypoints on minimap to show true location instead of next closest nav location.'

niiiiice one! we just had to figure out how to get from vay hek to extraction, spreading out. ive been the only one who made it - unfortunately i had to get to work before my mates arrived, but it is good to see that you cant just race through the locations with eyes on minimap anymore. now some people have to use their brains and orientation sense. good job!

[Dataz]

What is that new symbol next to platinum in game?

[Sybetron]

yeah thats it

[Zafikiel]

Good work Warframe team x)

[AureasAetas]

What's the goal of the founder icon ingame, on the left of the button "online/solo/etc." ?

It's the solar landmarke for Grandmasters ? It shouldn't appear if you aren't one, no ?

Edited July 5, 2013 by AureasAetas

[Supo_le_supo]

No you are not the only one freezes all the Time...

agreed, this update as awesome as it looks introduced a huge downgrade in performance on my side.

I checked graphics options, network, free ram and processor usage, can't figure out what's wrong.

[FF01]

WHOOAAA I'm impressed, those changes to the frames are def. a win ! Good job ! :D

[JCav]

• Fixed Defense Missions awarding level 0 Fusion Cores

 

 

No you didn't. Callisto, 2nd defense mission of the night, wave 15...Rare Fusion Core rank ZERO.

[Skullker]

HOLY S**T! that's a big hotfix, just beautiful.

[Yurinaga]

Liking it so far, apart from the Bronco firing sound being nerfed! It went from Godzilla chomping on a car to a heavily-muffled party popper, as well as the Lato! Are you trying to make all the weapons sound utterly indistinct from each other?

As for Warframe buffs, what of Frost? Freeze has been damn near useless ever since it arbitrarily stopped working on more than one target at a time and there's no point ranking it up at all because the extra damage is worthless. I'd prefer it if it did no damage - that's what Ice Wave and Avalanche are for - and had an AoE freeze effect on impact, where at least the primary target cannot be thawed by damage taken.

[Phyrexian_man]

now killing hyena with rihno is even easier:

1. kill everybody in the room

2. use iron skinn

3. come to the Hyena zero meters

4. ??????

5. PROFIT!

 

????? = in close Hyena don't shoot but only stomps, stomping doesn't damage only knocks you off, when in Iron Skin you are unknockable and iron skin now don't have timer :) looks like cheat

[Kokuen]

Awesome update!
Loving the changes(actually fusion) on Rhino's Radial Blast and Rhino Stomp but is that just me or both Range and Strength is already the hightest as if you were using the Focus/Stretch Mods maxed? also somehow Rhino Charge doesnt seems to be affected by Stretch Mod?

[-xLombaxx-]

Wow... Thanks for these huge amount of fixes and updates!

[ZombieX13]

lol this patch has brought something new, developers prefered not to tell us about

THIS IS NEW TYPE OF LOCKERS! perhaps next patch there will be new module super duper puper thief master which can open such lockers with some chance :)

http://img.neaga.org/images/image_6ff2a77ad852.png

 

They did mention implementing the color blind friendly lockers in livestream 8. If you're referring to something else, I apologize.

[Supo_le_supo]

Yes. Speculation has lead to believe that people in larger clans experience their screens 'freezing' every few dozen seconds for a few seconds, causing a lag to only them, and not the others who are in different clans.

 

It is believed that people who join the clan chat cause these small freezes to happen.

 

Just letting everyone know that that is what I think is what's going on, including a bunch of clanmates.

And if a wild freeze appears while the countdown to start a mission is below 10 secs, the game just locks. I hope they find a solution to this real quick.

 

I wish i could provide positive feedback on this update, but the game is unplayable right now :/

Dayuuuuuuum!

I just think, if DE fix or add something new, they mention it in patch notes. The list of FIXes is so huge. Perhaps I've missed it?
