Coming Soon: Weapon Balance Pass.

[omeggga]

How about Latron Prime?

[HIGHDAMAGE]

My proud my glory that 10% cc is insignificant to me

[Rekkou]

Please take a one more look at Sniper Rifles, even just +5% more critical chance will help them greatly, it's not going to kill bow or anything.

[Potatrobot]

Oh my God finally, the Glaxion shall be dusted off once more. I hope it has pinpoint accuracy like the Quanta.

 

And the Buzlok. I thought mine was powerful with its riven. I think it's about to jump up a few tiers.

[Epilogia]

Please add team-damage too, self-damage is not enough. Also add team-damage and self-damage to every weapon in the game to encourage aiming. I hate it when people just run around with their pinpoint accurate rifles using hip-fire and they just kill everything without the need of aiming. How dare they use effective weapons to kill in order to finish missions faster? It ruins my fun.

Bring it on. Then we get to see who's actually good at the game, and who just likes to attempt reverse psychology. Put some civilians in the game; punish us for collateral damage. We can take it.

so we have pve game with no edngame

 

and no challenging content 

 

highest lvl content we got is faceroll sorties  with barely lvl 100 enemies

 

and then  some people do enjoy using particular weapons and u change them nerf/boost/change how they work 

 

WHY ? whats the reason for that ?  do those weapons threatening the endgame balance LOL? 

 

how about instead fix the bugs in Jordis verdict  cuz u litteraly can't complete a raid without getting atleast 1 glitch happening to u

 

or release some proper endgame stuff instead of garbage events where u escort down syndrome npc's 

and i don't even use any of the listed weapons   

[Doctorhealsgood]

The glaxion is fixed? YES

Weapon Balance Pass.
 

As we near the staggering number of 300 weapons (including variants), the task of balancing grows increasingly daunting. At its core, Warframe is a co-operative game; having powerful tools is a boon to a team rather than a disadvantage. However, there are a few weapons that have such a dominating effect in missions that co-operative missions essentially become solo. Aside from the handful of dominating weapons, there are even more that have been overlooked.

We have buffed 10 underpowered weapons which have unique mechanics that have been overlooked due to their poor stats.

While your at it, can you take a strong look at the bows & sniper rifles in the game? They fall off in damage super quick against armored high level mobs and the only way to get anything close to usable out of them seems to be either going entirely crit or bleed stacks(along with waiting) to ludicrous levels which isn't exactly fun. Both of them just have an impossible task of trying to be anywhere close to as fast and efficient as the rifles, shotguns, and other crazy weapons of Warframe past level 60 content.

I want that. I would gladly kill all of my teammates in honour of pre-nerf Tonkor.

It's just that one person's fun isn't as important as many persons' fun. SySim, Boltace, and Tonkor apparently garnered enough comment that DE has decided to make a change.

[(XBOX)x Varda x]

Awesome! Attica is my favourite bow (pls Prime) and I'm so glad I kept my Hind riven as it's a fun gun but has been too weak to be viable... until now :D

Any chance of making Ogris have homing rockets like Bombard variants? :P

Yeah while were at it can i start using my warframe powers on my teammates? I want to light them all on fire, or suck them into a vortex. Or maybe let me lock them out of playing entirely with mirage. Yeah! Co Op! PvE! Trolling! Being an unmitigated jackass that ruins the game for everyone! Woo!

.... Just stop.

[RacerDelux]

Glad to see the changes. Finally the tonkor will take as much skill as other launchers to use!

I really hope they revisit the Opticor.... A very iconic weapon in Warframe's history.

All it needs is a status chance + crit chance increase. And maybe the ability to NOT fire your shot as soon as it reaches 100% charge.

So... most players who troll using Limbo? Or players standing in your way when you use grenade launchers?

[Cookusmeow]

YES! Now I can use some of my old favorites! And I can also use the Tonkor without feeling like a lazy bum.

I dont get it. Why's everyone so happy about the nerf? What was the problem with Tonkor? Why nerf a powerful weapon in PvE game without competitive elements? 

Because some people have serious issues with other people enjoying the game as they please. There are multiple examples of this in other videogames.

Ontopic: I play solo most of the time (when my friends are not around), I highly dislike these nerfs, some weapons made solo'ing in high level missions possible but now they got nerfed. I don't like getting forced to play weapons I dislike or to play with people I don't know with the risks it includes (rude players, racial slurs, afk, intentional griefing). Oh well, back to single player games I guess.

I'd be totally fine with it, I can tell you that. Reason I don't use Penta is because I don't want to use up all my revives on level 3 maps in under 5 mins. I prefer my bows as primary weapons instead.

Reverse psychology? Oh no, I'm actually not mad about these changes at all, if you think that's the case. These changes don't affect me in the slightest since I don't use any of those weapons, only the Tonkor for really low level maps with multishot Riven and increased mag cap. I prefer pistols, bows, single-shot rifles or my good old Braton Prime and melees mainly.

I just don't understand that so many people cried/cry because others use strong weapons so they can kill faster, and that limits their gameplay. Now those weapons are about to get nerfed, which means that people who used those weapons will have their gameplay limited. Am I wrong?

Also, who even uses Ogris or Penta, or any weapon that has self-damage? Why not just use any other, SAFE to use weapon so you don't even have the smallest chance of killing yourself, putting your team in danger while reviving you?

But then again, what do I know. I don't even touch those kinds of weapons for some reason.

[Hallowieners]

Nice changes, the forma compensation is nice but I think it should extend to any major changes Warframes and weapons receive, because that could change the effective builds dramatically. Having forma compensated just for nerfed weapons is a great start though.

[00zau]

Is that 50% crit buff on Buzlok when it's hitting a marked target a base crit buff, or what? Because a third of a point strike mod isn't going to do much otherwise.

[SwingKitty]

Thank you!

De ya might have made some blunders last year but this year has been fantastic, keep up the great work.

I can't believe people are actually cheering for nerfs. Eager to ruin the game for others, must be. I just don't understand these types of people. Leave my stuff alone and just handicap yourself for crying out loud.

I'm 100% with you mate! This kind of people are just too stupid... Nerfs in a mainly PVE game and people are actually celebrating like it's christmas eve. "This weapon is too overpowered" Stupid mentality in a PVE game imo. When are this kind of "overpowered" weapons that can deal with some high level enemies. If you think the game is too easy with this kind of weapons go kill a lvl 100 Corrupted Heavy Gunner with a Lato then, it might take you a while no? This or that weapon are too weak! Then just buff it buff leave the other good "end game" weapons alone. Let's see when will the slash damage tigris prime will be lowered to 10 per pellet or the crit chance of soma prime will be lowered to 5% (I know that i'm exagerating!).

So, what I'm saying is: Buff the weapons that need, don't nerf the others...

Finally no more noobmulors!!!

Hitting a marked target only.
