SprinKah Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Nox, newest enemy into the game, at first I really thought that the design direction for him didn't exactly look TOO grineer-ish to me, the design didn't really have a whole lot of that...organic look to it. But the design is really growing on me! But i don't know, don't think that's relevant right now, just wanted to say so. what I REALLY wanted to talk about is...well, I consider talking about this is a bit...controversial so please...bear with me, this is a bit of a personal rant I think, I hope a lot of people can understand where I'm coming from, probably not. NOX probably my favorite enemy in game right now. I have a strange hobby when it comes to playing warframe, it's not generic and repetivie shoot-em-up that gets quite boring after a while but it's observing. I love observing enemies and their aesthetics and designs, I love watching battles between factions, especially Grineer vs Corpus, it makes the universe feels a lot more alive. Alright. what I want to say is...I REALLY HOPE THAT THE COMMUNITY AND DE DON'T SCREW UP NOX. I think Nox's state in the game right now is quite alright. he's only a bit more durable than bombards and gunners that's really all, just got a few more tricks in his sleeves that I don't think are big problems. Why am I thinking like that? It's rather strange but I really do not want to see Nox deals like...i don't know, 5 damage per glob or something. I mean, just look at MANIC. They reduced the spawn rate to nothing, reduced their damage and durability to S#&$e...basically took away almost everything they have which is a SHAME....I miss when Manics were actually menacing and weren't a joke, that they could make you flinch with their intimidating entrance and threat... So yeah...I hope you all can see why I don't want the community and players to complain about Nox for issues that aren't even big deals, Like Manic... Speaking of OBSERVING, DE ruined Lua Crossfire node...it used to be where I go to spectate a fair and square battle between Grineer and Corpus.( feels weird typign that out).. But now they gotta replace the good old grineer with FRONTIER ones with their Karaks and pretty much wreck everything....I'm sure a lot of us know why, them karak-wielding grineer are tough...I don't suppose this is a big deal but yeah...bothers me a lot.. Also. GRINEER EARTH REMASTER. I'm just a bit disappointed about the whole thing. I remember Steve replying to a tweet asking about if the Earth remaster is going to recieve some....worker type grineer...like bio-scientists, study flowers and stuff...You know, like Drudges on Ceres Shipyard Remaster? Yeah...those were the REAL DEALS, the real selling point to the whole Shipyard remastic. Guess DE scrapped that whole idea...a shame really..Or maybe they'll add new.

Voltage Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I like Nox, but his drops are so abysmal. You have a .22% drop chance of getting the new Aura because Nox has a 3% chance to drop a mod and the mod has a ~7% drop chance from his table. I feel Nox is interesting, but his drops need a slight tweak for something so uselsss (a toxin resistance aura). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MystMan Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Don't forget there is a Nox Eximus codex entry as well. I'm currently replaying today's sortie 3 Eximus Stronghold trying to get one. 1/3 so far. This is a rare enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iMalicious Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 (edited) I like the Nox grineer unit, only thing I don't like is how much resistances he has (against all elements) yet he does toxic dmg so why is he immune to all, I was literally in Hydron and wasted 50+ shots from Simulor which I had 100% status and my beautiful riven and still didn't kill him, though of course it's just a small rant and not that big a deal not everyone is using pure elemental weapons like simulor in most loadout slots which is honestly just a weapon(s) I use to help level other gear in defense missions, just feels like for this particular unit they're giving the finger to all weapons that are pure elemental and have no puncture, slash etc etc. Edited July 2, 2017 by iMalicious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiftycentis Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 i really like nox, a enemy that is not a boss but that you have to aim at him to shoot him in the face or you are not gonna do damage, really interesting. Idc too much of the mod drops, i don't need them and when they'll drop it i'll get it talking of workers, i would really like to see more grineer workers around, while also some corpus ones and i also have some ideas about them, but that's probably going to need another thread (maybe i'll do it tomorrow) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MystMan Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Corrupted? Why are you mentioning that? Only corrupt enemies in codex are the ones in the Void. Enemies who turn corrupt from Void Fissures do not have codex entries, they are not considered unique enemies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IggySnow Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 the new aura isnt even worth using. Its like DE doesn't want anyone to use anything beside energy siphon or corrosive projection. If everyone in the whole team uses Toxin resist then you take half damage from toxin... great. Only way it would even be considered a usable aura is if it gave 100% toxin resistance.

Silvus-Sol Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 (edited) I think they are a little too tanky to be honest. They should either: A: Make it so their helmet glass breaks easier. or B: Make it so they take more damage from headshots once their glass is broken and their head exposed. They definitely should not do both as that would make them too easy to kill. Being harder to headshot is fine, but right now I think it's too much. You have to chew through what feels like a heavy gunners worth of HP without headshots, in order to chew through a bombard's worth of HP with headshots. Too bullet spongy for my taste. Everything else seems fine though. Edited July 8, 2017 by Silvus-Sol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashyrae Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 A normal Nox isn't that tanky. Shotguns work wonders against his helmet (Hek series, Strun Wraith, Tigris family), and repeated headshots with any weapon will down him fairly quickly. Nox Eximus, on the other hand, is a totally different animal. Took an entire Vaykor Hek magazine to down a Nox Arctic Eximus on Hydron - headshots only. 5 for the helmet, 6 for the rest.
