Okay, but obvious question, why are they breaking the male/female release cycle? If it's because of Wukong and Nezha I hardly think that's fair since they were just just forced in due to Chinaframe. (Even if I love my heelie wearing wheel boy.)

Well unless they are pulling off another Harrow idk.(Gara was announced before Harrow but yet he got released first, which followed the pattern)

Never heard any new-warframe pattern, it only goes for primes which is male male female female male male. If there in fact ever was, then I´d guess DE does a small loop and bing the rotation into the same as primes. Kinda depends on what they think is best

It's not a new warframe pattern, that has always been the pattern.

Plains of Eidolon added a small (3m) universal Vacuum -- if you want a larger Vacuum, use a Sentinel for now

I don't understand the stubbornness on this. Three meters is nothing. People are going to keep using sentinels "for now", just like they always have.

We don't need a compromise. A compromise will not work. A compromise does not fix the problem. Just add universal vacuum and be done with it. If you add universal vacuum, you can focus on making companions viable choices based on their individual abilities, not their loot utility. This has gone on way too long as it is.

Does DE not want people to choose a companion based on their ability like vaporise or scanner? Why should we choose based on something that makes the gameplay less tedious, and results in less loot-mowing which is antithetical to gameplay to begin with?

Focus Revamp
• The Focus gains are difficult to balance so that it is reasonable for casual players and also not easily completed by hardcore farmers
• The ability point capacity for Focus will be universal rather than per school
• The way Focus is gained may be completely altered 
• The Focus cap will probably be removed, but after the current cap there will be diminishing returns
• There will be a boosted period for the initial Focus points gained each day to make the system more reasonable to casual players - there will be a larger 'boosted period' for higher MR
• Experimenting with allowing different mission types to also extend the Focus boosted period to reward diverse gameplay rather than farming the same mission type
• Heavily looking into altering the costs and progression curve of Focus in general 



Soon.

Login Reward Revamp
• After the initial 50 days, you will be able to select a 'track' that you can work towards
• Once you select your 'track' you are locked onto that track for the next 50 days
• Each of these track rewards are the regular landmarks that are available now, but you will be able to select which reward you want to work towards


Meh as long as there are no additions in the system that are not glyphs or sygils, there will be bickering and salt over that. With good reason.

New Warframe - Khora
• The original concept by Skyers was drawn from a lot of  ideas including melee, metal manipulation, and spider thread
• Can summon a unique Kavat, has an Exalted Whip, and can alter damage (IPS) types which will also affect her visual design

Concerned.

Both Exalted weapons and minions have proved hard to balance so far in the history of Warframe. Not to mention that Whip is a melee division that currently is cheese factory.

ew Eidolon
• There is a new Eidolon coming
• This Eidolon is much larger than the Teralyst and may involve some flying components
• This Eidolon is missing its head -- it has replaced it with one of the Ostron meat-mattresses
• There are going to be different visual variations of this Eidolon as well as different variations of the Teralyst with something besides the tree-arm

Soon.

• There will also be Infested Zaw pieces as rewards

Rnjesus take the wheel.

• Acolytes will return in December along with their mods

Happy that they will return, as I rather enjoyed the visual and gameplay values they had. Not happy about the mods, not due to "mah plat", but due to the fact that those mods proved cancerous in the long term.

• The devs are open to the idea of adding the PoE's individual extraction system to other endless mission types
• There are plans to allow Clans to create Dojo obstacle courses that allow people to add their own hazards, timers, and more 
• There are Syndicate themed decoration sets for Dojos coming, along with similarly themed Landing Craft decorations

Soo... Ok enough of the bad joke.

• No new Raids are in development or even discussion -- there just isn't enough interest in them; hopefully new Eidolons will appeal to that audience

There are multiple reasons to not do the raids, but they have nothing to do with appeal. From my personal experience (I was there, when JV launched and I was raider in other games), the WF raids were cool on their own, but had nothing to do with actual long term raids. Sorties are a lot better fleshed out idea that fits the WF narrative.

This is [DE] Scott we're talking about, arguably one of the two most immensely stubborn people at DE, and Vacuum is one of his special babies. Remember the "balance pass" he gave Braton Prime after MONTHS of user complaining on the forums; the much needed improvements to damage but a massive nerf to ammo capacity in the name of "balance"?

Yeah, him.

Snipetron return FINALLY! 

Love the news bounty and rewards systems.

The only bads points are no new raids (corpus raid still missing and at least Jordas Verdict Nightmare) and of courses solar rail conflict still forgotten.

Anyways keep the good work and improvements for PoE and others stuffs!

@AM-Bunny It hurt my ears and now my eyes, can we at least classify the new melee weapon properly as an Odachi/Nodachi? :sadcry:

Looks more like a Zanbatou to me, as Odachi are slimmer and shorter(?), like so.

In any case. Nier Automata vibes. I know what I'll be doing with Mag Pneuma and the sword, get me?

Hopefully the Zaigakotsu gets the same treatment and category. Can't wait to rock it with my Nidus!

Focus

You ask for a universal pool and you get a universal pool :thumbup:

Soft cap, sounds good, boost period, hope it's clear when its active.

Login rewads

It's a pretty good way to handle it, especially since none of the login in weapons are actually strong enough to warrant the number of days it takes to get them.

On one hand i like this new system on the other hand it devalues my glyph

I like this soft cap idea, if it’s similar to how ESO softcapped champion points.

 

below 250k for the day? Enjoy a permenant 400% boost to focus gain (or whatever number would be needed to get closer to that cap for “average play”)

 

above 250k? 0% bonus gain, then maybe at 100k over cap -50% at 200k over cap -100%

 

ignore the actual numbers, but essentially , I can login do my sleep equinox run and get 250k quickly, if I CHOOSE to I can do 5 more runs for another 200k, to “get ahead” or he’ll maybe I REALLY wanna grind out 1m in that whole day because I’m bored? 

 

Its great though because we have options.

Zanbatou didn't actually exist as a sword type in Feudal Japan.  The zhan-ma-dao or "horse slaying sword" is from China.  The zhan-ma-dao is a straight blade though while any Nodachi / Odachi is curved following the Japanese style.  If the Zanbatou is anything, it's simply a name (as far as I can tell) made up by anime for a larger Nodachi.  As the new blade shown in the stream has a definitive curve, it would be in the Nodachi family.

3 things.

1 Universal vacuum: i love kavats but they need some vacuum cleaner for their boxes.

2 Plains watch: ninjas can wear one.

3 Konzu "sorta bounty" to capture eidolons: so we can join teams going to capture (no rewards needed).

 

1 Its a wet dream inside a wet dream.

2 and 3 can bring a nice breath to the ppl wanting to capture those poor eidolons who need a home.

oving the plains, but tired of solo the Eidolons.

Ty for all DE, amazing work and making great the only game i played for years and still love it like first day.

Thanks Bunny! Still wondering why the next Warframe will be a female instead of male.

 

Anyways I don't get with the Exilus Adapter fuss? Did Megan sent a 24 alert error or something?

Dont they go 2 male, 2 female?
