Update on Sorties
• New Mission types are being added (Grineer Fortress Assault and Infested Salvage) for more variety
• New Ayatan Treasure is replacing the 2k Endo reward -- it will be worth a base of 2k Endo with the potential of being socketed to a higher amount
• Melee Rivens are coming -- the frequency of Rivens as a Sortie reward will increase 
• More research in general is being put into the RNG of rewards and how they should be weighted
• Considering adding Archwing to Sorties once Archwing gets some more attention
• Graph shown displaying Sorties completed each day

Update on Bard Warframe
• Bard-frame will be obtained via Cephalon Suda Quest
• [DE]Danielle volunteered to do mocap dance for the Bard Agile animation (click HERE to watch)
• The Bard-frame's Step Sequencer has been developed further (click HERE to heard a sample by [DE]George)
• Many of the sounds are recorded samples of real instruments - not just synthesized sounds
• Defaults to 4/4 time and will also have a fixed bpm to make all Bard-frames music in tempo with each other
• There are musical pre-sets for players that aren't interested in investing time into their own composition
• Completed musical pieces will have a 'fingerprint' code that will allow players to easily share their compositions
• Considering making her powers relate directly to her music - perhaps a composition with a few heavy notes will result in powers that deal huge bursts of damage while a composition with many rapid beats would be a succession of weaker attacks

Update on Deluxe Skins
• Chroma Deluxe skin is progressing nicely, it may be releasing first
• Mag Deluxe skin is progressing
• Zephyr Deluxe skin is the furthest away - it's a passion project on the side by Kary who traditionally works on weapons

New Weapons
•  Corpus Gunspear shown - it functions very similar to Opticor's firing
• Once thrown, the Gunspear will shoot electrical arcs at nearby enemies
• The regular Bo is getting a new model
• Click HERE to see a demo of the weapons

Nullifier Weakpoint Update
• The gameplay for Nullifier's weakpoint was shown
• The Nullifier's bubble will adjust to fit within its geometry - in a small room the bubble will be smaller without room to expand fully
• Click HERE to see a demo of the new Nullifier mechanics

Update on the new Sentinel
• Current plan is to give the Sentinel some kind of health/shield vampire ability that will be able to give new players some added survivability
• This Sentinel is intended for beginning players to be introduced into the Sentinel system

Update on Syndicate Assassination
• This concept has morphed drastically from the original concept -- the original idea felt boring
• There will be a new part built in Dojos that will allow Clan members to work together in taking out a 'kingpin' enemy
• The 'kingpin' enemy will be a procedurally generated enemy with unique powers - Clan members will have to pick apart their organization before taking them down
• Still working out rewards for this system

Ugh I remember when Secura Lecta launched I was miffed because I thought it seemed worthless in comparison to the others. I suppose I haven't needed Credits in a very long time though, so it's a perspective I'm unfamiliar with. Very surprising though.

The nullifier changes look interesting but useless. I really have no problem with them except the fact that there are to many in later waves/min.

I'm more interested in how the bubble conforms to room geometry -- some of those Corpus ships have really low ceilings, so it seems as though the bubble would be forced to be really tiny in that case.

How I feel.

EDIT: sorry, thanks as always, Bunny.

Steve mentioned it in the stream (should be edited into the OP by Bunny really), saying that supposedly the drop rate had been adjusted already.

Guess they just happened to forget it in the patch notes.

But ugh, AW Sortie. I knew it would arrive soon enough.

That isn't the worst thing yet. People are forgetting about...

Spoiler
 
 
 

Archwing Rivens

I wasn't certain if that's what Steve meant. The exact quote was 

Quote

We did look at it, and if you go The Derelicts, the droprate is many many times -- an order of magnitude greater than the rest of the game

The droprate in Derelicts has always been greater than anyplace else in the game, and that comment isn't claiming that it's been changed. He's merely remarking that the droprate is high at The Derelicts and that should be enough.

It might be increased though, I'm not certain, which is why I left it out.
