NO MELEE RIVEN

[Kaitoru]

honestly i think melee is already over power enough and adding rivens for it is just like giving god more power

[redeyedtreefrog]

Well, sure, melees are already OP. they're also the mos tbalanced weapon class in the game. But melee rivens will still get added, it seems.

[PrVonTuckIII]

How in the world is melee OP? 

[KirukaChan]

You're funny. Rivens are DE's newest cash cow. There's no way melee ones aren't happening just because of opposing opinions.

[(PSN)Magician_NG]

They're coming.

Whether you want them or not.

[CrudShuzKong]

there are unuseable melee weapons that might become useable with rivens and thats the whole point of it really.

Indeed

[KIREEK]

Not only i want melee rivens but i also want riven slots increase, 3 or 6 more would be fine really.

Altough on the subject of unusable, all gear in warframe is usable and perfectly fine even without primed mods or riven mods, the point of riven is to make less used weapons more popular, they do not make something usable into usable again.

thing is if they add it in the trade will be come chaos and then they will complain that melee is too OP not balance 

 

[(PSN)ThatPersonInMars]

not all melee weapons are good, only the ones with high crit chance crit dmg are op because of blood rush+body count/drifting contact combo, the status and damage melee weapons are so underpowered compared to them, although they need some new features and buffs not mods based on RNG...

[TentownsRaid]

The issue i have with melee's getting rivens is that only about 10% of melee is overpowered while the rest sit in a pile of low dmg low status and or low crit. If DE didnt base the disposition on amount used I wouldn't care but right now it will be just silly.

Weak stances are more problematic than melee stats.

Balanced ? How ?

Yeah...  If you really believe that rivens are here to make bad weapons better, good for you ;)

[(XBOX)ThermalStone]

Let's just not have any more new substantive content at all in case we upset game balance in a PvE ga me or allow players to have any fun at all.  Spend your time designing more Sydanas please DE!

Things like balance and power creep should remain a PvP concern.

In PvE?

Balance doesn't matter as long as DE continues to use invulnerability stages for bosses.

[Kaitoru]

DE will add rivens for all melee so that will turn some mods useless

Stealth multipliers double-dipping on certain status ailments getting nerfed to a fixed 8x multiplier instead of, say, stealth Gas having 512x is a thing now. There's really nothing op about melee now, even with the Shadow Debt mods to consider.

The only thing that's residually op now is Covert Lethality, and that got nerfed with Juggernauts being immune to Finishers now.

And Telos Boltace got nerfed to the ground, which a moderate amount of players (myself included) are still asking for the weapon to get another look at the reworked mechanic to make for a more efficient gameplay experience (removal of the second slide attack effect that ragdolls, removal of cooldown).

Really, all you have now is Bleed procs, Corrosive procs, and building up combo multipliers which still takes time to build. Melee is not op like it was before.

That was supposed to be what syndicate mods were for. Instead you have trade chat spammed with people looking for Hek and Pandero Rivens

[Kaitoru]

not sure if you guys test it out but for right now melee is completely op, why? gas or slash + high status chance( which is easy to get on a melee weapon) boom thats pretty all you need

While I personally dont care about rivens at all due to their enormous rng grind wall, if you do happen to rol a good one on a weapon with strong disposition, it will make that weapon better by quite a margin. That is a lot of "if"s but it is the truth. It will help with weapon diversity even if its just a little.

[Kaitoru]

will it help? sure maybe but will it buff the already op melee? yes it will 

[GrayArchon]

They confirmed in yesterday's DevStream that melee rivens are coming soon. End of story.

[White_Matter]

Such meaningless whining.

No, melee is not OP.

It won't help the OP ones that much mostly because melee builds are quite strict and a weak disposition won't give you better results than mods already in the game. 

[Insizer]

melee rivens are not an issue tbh, as melee is generally weak/irrelevant simply due to the fact they are melee weapons in a shooter.  

The thing we should be demand not happen is Rivens for Warframes... That would be horrible... absolutely horrible.
