(PSN)Multi-Melta 141 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I feel that the changes to the Atomos will actually harm it's use. The whole point of being able to use it was to chain enemies and torch them along the way. Upping its ammo consumption and nearly half its damage without a proper replacement for this change really irks me. The beam weapon mechanics themselves had damage tied to fire rate! So if the Atomos now has less damage and fires faster it means it is now less effective overall. Unless these mechanics are properly tested I'm going to give them a wide berth until then. What truly puzzles me is the Quanta changes though. From 200 -> 20 is a massive change and I think the wildest change Warframe has ever seen interms of damage reduction.

Helaton 66 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Just one question for the battery powered weapons. Can they reload when they are holstered? If that's the case...that's actually pretty awesome in its own way. Flux Rifle + Cycron forever? Link to post Share on other sites

Gaki_no_Tsukai 74 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Nooo, the amprex, DE please don't remove the orange/red crits :( That is seriously the only reason I enjoy it, those chaining crits are amazing, and make the gun feel unique/special. I realize it is a buff overall, but please DE, do not remove what makes the gun special, PLEASE guys. I'm so sad, all that time, effort, and love that went into my amprex, solely for those sexy orange/red crits. This feels like a massive punch to the gut. Link to post Share on other sites

Omega 1,417 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Beam weapons are pretty OP'd, tested my Synapse with a CD/CC riven. Cuts through anything like butter (for sale BTW) :) 1 Link to post Share on other sites

So if the Atomos now has less damage and fires faster it means it is now less effective overall. Damage is, if you do the full calculation, almost unchanged (as in about .15DPS!). I agree the spoolup time and shorter available firing times hurt it a LOT though. 53 minutes ago, Gaki_no_Tsukai said: I'm so sad, all that time, effort, and love that went into my amprex, solely for those sexy orange/red crits. This feels like a massive punch to the gut. Eh. It still has utterly, utterly op builds. Which scale in non-linear ways with more enemies. (Think electric/gas procs, especially with a Saryn...)

Kainosh 2,086 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Soooooo.....What about Stug? I know its not a bad weapon, but it still wastes "goo" if you hit same blob too much (stack is capped). And UI doesn't show its true stats. it does have status chance that is not listed. And about Convectrix. Electric proc when beams converge (its description suggests this) would be great. Horizontal beam spread with multishot would be awesome too. A fan of beams with proper riven.

Dolomaticus 73 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! My Flux Rifle is awesome again!!! Now for real feedback: DE you nailed the battery recharge mechanic perfectly. During several missions I was using the Flux, I never noticed once the reload cycle, just taking your finger off the trigger for a second just BAM and your good to go again. I was really not certain about the recharge mechanic, but it works so smoothly I will rebuild the Cycron again just to see how the weapon is now. Also thank you for the range.

Nothing makes the game more fun that useless weapons. Everyone'd going to love this! You dont realize how different the beam weapons work now, take the weapon out and actually use it. I know the Flux is back to what it used to be before Status per second and damage 1.0 devastated it. Link to post Share on other sites
Wanderwhys 17 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 R.I.P. Amprex the crit monster I will miss you. the ignis nerf is fine and i look forward to testing the cycron and flux rife rework. the "ammo economy" buff was much needed and appreciated but i cringe at the loss in diversity of weapons with extremely skewed stats.

venon23 88 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 sorry DE too confusing too understant need too test it so fire rate have nothing to do with dmg or status but they still have fire rate ???? old beam weapons had no status since there was no status at that time and why synapse have no 50% crit chance base ???? is this new system so oP that u guys have too nerf synapse again ??

Given that the Amprex had/has a 50% critical chance thus reducing our world reduce the amount of damage possible with CC. The amount of base damage has been increased so that helps some. Regardless it limits how you are able to mod the weapon. Basically reducing how it is used/played. That's not right given that they are reducing range of the season as well. The bigger issue is the reduction in range which basically requires the use of sinister reach mod now. Requiring mods for no reason is wrong. Especially since it screws up anyone who would use the Amprex and opens them up to a lot of damage given how close you need to be to shoot the enemy.

Xzorn 8,977 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 After Testing quite a few Beam weapons I'm fairly pleased with the results. Not the for sake of feeling Powerful but for the sake of Single-Target damage sources. This is the level of performance we should expect from single target weapons. Enough with the AoE Launcher / Shotgun supremacy. Who cares if it shreds faster than your Soma Prime. Fact is, Soma Prime sucks and has for a while now. I cannot express how happy it makes me to see good aim finally rewarded after so long. Long live Beam weapons and welcome back Single target DPS. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
