Coming Soon: Devstream #107!

[ColdCobalt]

• Will the Umbra quest use a new mechanic or it will be in the same style as Second Dream and War Within?
• Will we get a Dex skin of certain frames or it will be weapons?
• Will Relic drop rate be changed or looked at?
• Will we get the Beam Weapon update after Stream or at a later date?

[Lion]

Umbra? 

[welliott98]

When can we expect to get the new Equinox augment?

[(XBOX)Hazyfrill01]

When are we going to see a riven rework? Like being able to lock stats for a set amount of kuva or a unique drop item. 

This would be a nice addition since the price and ease of access to arcanes has been addressed. It would reel in outlandish trade chat prices and give weapons that need a riven an easier time rolling one.

Glorious how that just rolls off the tongue.
Pure artistry. :p

[MingCR]

We have already seen a prototype ship crew battle. When will it be released, and, most importantly, will we be able to color our ships?

[Riccoshot]

Arcane Slotting how soon?

Arcane Slotting / better UI for operator, switching amps and arcanes in and out just for Teralyst hunt is frustrating.

Focus Slotting for respective (A, B, C) warframe loadouts when?

[Azurian-Draguard]

One of my many questions about the not released stuff are ;

Spoiler

1. Eximus Weakpoints : In one of the dev-streams you talked about how you guys wanted to make X-mas units invulnerable until all their weakpoints were popped , was that pushed off the table or?
2. Auchwing Sorties : You also talked about doing these by having some sortie missions as auchwing. Was this too , pushed off the table?
3. Arcata Ball Throw Weapon : When would that ever be released? 

 

[Macalar]

Are there any plans to rework enemy armor scaling?

Currently, armor scales with enemy level in such a way that at lvl 100+ armored enemies get extreme damage resistance. Players can completely negate all enemy armor by wearing 4x Corrosive Projection auras, but that is not an option in solo play or random groups.

Have you considered buffing base armor values, removing scaling from enemy level and removing Corrosive Projection? That way, status effects and warframe abilities that strip armor would still be relevant, but powering through armor with lots of damage would also be an option.

[St_Minorto]

Hello

Any update on rest of promised focus update (soft caps etc)?
and maybe some info about promised daily login tribute system ?
 

[ColdCobalt]

• Will we get more Inaros Augements as his kit need some tunning
• With regards to Gara, will there be augments for her due to the animosity of her kit and the way she plays as a Frost 2.0

[DrBorris]

About that Focus acquisition rework.... any news?

[Kracken]

1. Will we see "proto" weapons mentioned sometime ago implemented in the game (in form of mini event) ?

2. When we get Nodashi ?

3. Minigun?

4. What happened to mandatory mod rework ?

5. Will the Arkanes installed in the new slots will be SHARED to other frames or bounded to the Warframe it had it installed?

6. Sentient weapons?

[SoulHunter2008]

I think there needs to be a system where we can for say 5 plat reset your frame or weapon to "Foundry Default" where all forma and potatoes are taken off and and the frame is set to Unranked. The potatoes and and forma are not lost and returned to the player. This is for players like myself that after using forma for something then having that changed would like to "fix" it without putting in MORE forma. ex. i had forma'd my Frost Prime to function with only snow-globe when abilities still had mod cards(this was 5 forma) but now that this has changed and frost's abilities have changed(not by much) i would like to have the option to change his polarities without adding More forma. Now i'm not saying reset then be allowed to put all those forma back on right away, no i'm saying RESET the frame so i have to rank it to 30 for every forma again and i believe this would balance it out. Thank you for your time and consideration and if you could address this in the next live stream i would greatly appreciate it. Thank you again and have a nice day. 

this would also help with people being "annoyed" about changes to there frames.

Dexcalibur was confirmed for this year.

[Iceyspy]

When can we expect the new Nezha Deluxe skin?

Also, could we expect some changes to go with Nezha`s upcoming skin as well? Would be great if we could either heal or re-cast his Warding Halo ( possible synergy with his 2, where it could heal the Warding Halo and buff it`s EHP even further? )

Who:  Rebecca is joined by the usual suspects Geoff, Steve, Sheldon, and Scott!

What:  It’s our fifth anniversary of Devstreams, almost to the day!  Since our Devstreams often deliver work in progress content, there’s many things that haven’t seen a release! You see our ideas sometimes the same week we come up with them, so let’s take some time this Devstream to give status Updates on “the-many-things-that-we’ve-shown-but-not-released (TMTTWSBNR for short)". Take a seat at the meeting-room table, hear some updates, and perhaps get a glimpse at the very certain future of Venus!

Prizes? Why yes, we will be giving away 3 x 1000 Platinum Prizes and during the Livestream as well as a Mirage Prime Access and Warframe Prime Vaults!

@[DE]Rebecca, pls answer some questions from my list. :)

Proto weapons skins, when?

[AngelicRevenge]

*insert "hydroid prime trailer" taunt*

Any updates on damage 3.0?

Will there be any changes to the modding systems to hold more mods since almost half the slots are taken up by essential mods(damage and multishot mods)?

Any updates on the octavia deluxe? 

When is the event for the oldschool proto skins coming? 

Will there be any birb pets? 

Any info on umbra mechanics? Is it gonna be simply a stat and skin change? 

Will there be resource nodes for kuva on the kuva fortress? 

[SineSole]

Are the pet Moas related to Venus or can we hopefully expect them sooner?

Is it possible we’ll get Osprey sentinels?

Could sentinels ever get sounds? Roam around the ship?

Will Venus be part of the Corpus Centric update? 

 

[Xion]

Regarding the new Dark Sectors, will there be rewards aimed towards both the casual player and the competitive clans or will it just be the same old same old that we've always had?

[Gemenai]

ETA on two handed katanas?

[Sdarts]

Questions about some much needed "Quality of Life" changes:

1) UI for Controller users on PC is extremely needed, DE has said many times this would happen soon - both in late 2016 and again in early 2017, yet we are almost in February 2018 without it actually happening. It's something that is already implemented in the consoles' versions - so from Coding, Art, Design, Texturing and Placement points of view, the work has already been done. So why the delay in implementing an UI interface for Controllers on the PC version? It's really annoying having to change from controller to a mouse to do even the most basic of things like selecting, changing or upgrading a mod, selecting a Relic, inviting Friends, customizing certain items, etc. It's impossible without a mouse. Can the developers please explain how hard and time consuming is to implement this change? And also why it's taking over a year to do so - if the work has even started at all?

2) Showing the Total amount of resources you have with the amount you gained in the End of Mission screen? This would help veterans and specially new players, without needing to check the Inventory or Foundry after every mission - the same way we can check how much standing we have with both Focus Schools and Syndicates. This should also take into account unique resources like Void Traces, Eidolon Shards, Sentient Cores, Color Pigments, etc.

3) New Config Slots for both the Operator and each of the Landind Crafts - a bonus would be having two more for warframes. Right now if I have a good customization with skin and colors and want to try or change something else, I have to take a screenshot - of which I have hundreds - otherwise I lose my previous customization as there's only one.

4) Talking about Stats, it would be incredibly helpful if the Warframes, Weapons, Sentinels and Companions' Upgrade screens and Warframes' Abilities screens showed potential gains from mods in (Parenthesis). This could be added to the right of the Stat(s) that could be affected, or the right in the empty space besides the stats where the Warframes' Rank Bonuses are shown. For example: if I add Energy Conversion to a Warframe, it doesn't show the increased 50% Strength in the Total Strength stat in the Upgrade screen nor the altered damage in the Abilities screen. Right now you need to calculate it in your head and remember, or write it down in a notepad, smarthphone or paper. The same applies to Weapon mods like Sharpened Bullets and Blood Rush (could show the first increase that happens at 1.5x Combo Multiplier). This already happens with a few Melee Channeling mods like Corrupt Charge, which shows both the increased 40% Channeling Cost and 100% Channeling Damage, while other Melee Channeling mods only show the increased Channeling Cost and nothing else, like Quickening, which doesn't show the increased 20% Attack Speed, only the increased 80% Channeling Cost. So it would also be great from a "standard" point of view, having for all of them instead of just one or two.

5) Having Stats for the Operator as we have with warframes, weapons, sentinels, companions, etc. And have these Stats be affected by the Focus Schools' Nodes, just like we have the View Stats With/Without Mods button, so we can actually see the base and the modified Stats.

6) In Bordeless Fullscreen mode, after pressing Alt + Tab to switch back to the game, you first have to click in the window to actually be back in the game, otherwise no command works as if you hadn't switched back or selected the game at all. This bug has been in the game for many years, probably ever since I started playing, and it has never been fixed. Also, Warframe is the only game I know with this type of bug - and I have played thousands of games on PC.

7) Over a year ago Steve said that in the future he would like the Warframe Launcher to be able to automatically update once an Update or Hotfix is released, without users having to do it manually every time. Since over a year has passed, is there anyone actively working or at least looking into it? This is increasingly more needed as Updates and Hotfixes are becoming bigger, since it would allow people to do other things like go to sleep, work, study, etc. and not be worried that when they get home, they will have to wait for the game to update by downloading big size files. This would also be extremely helpful for people with slow download speeds.

8) Optional quick Simulacrum Tutorial for each Warframe, after you acquire it - Could be added retroactively for people who already use them. The tutorial would go through phases and each phase teaches both the Abilities, Passives and their nuances, like Frost's Globe absorbing other Globes and stacking it's health in the process. A much more detailed explanation with many examples is on this post by a Warframe Reddit user called "WatchingRomeBurn" (all credits go to him/her):

https://www.reddit.com/r/Warframe/comments/7h5glj/you_can_shoot_through_garas_glas_wall_from_the/dqp2oov/

9) Having new options in the Simulacrum like: new Location settings (Captura already has many settings, and with a lot of options, yet Simulacrum still only has one setting); Aura Mods simulation settings - put a requirement that you need to have the mod in order to emulate it if you must, like being able to simulate having four Corrosive Projection or Growing Power, or a mix of different Auras; etc.

10) Having the "Gear Wheel" screen show a description for what each of the UI icons for Abilities and Buffs mean. This currently can only be done outside of the game and completely breaks the flow of the game, exposes you to enemy fire and also stops you from helping your team mates since you need to stop playing, Alt + Tab, open or select your internet browser, search and/or open the site, click on the Icons section, read what the Icon means, Alt + Tab again to the game, and then resume playing. This could be done in one or even both of of two ways: using the empty space in the Gear Wheel menu to show the current Ability(ies) and Buff(s) you have to the right, left, upper or below space; or having a button that will take you to a screen similar to the Abilities or Melee Combos screens while in-mission with a description of the current Buffs or them all (you could scroll down).

11) Having the Warframe Abilities screen UI integrated with the Warframe modding screen. By this, I mean so that you don't need to back out of the modding screen, click on the Abilities screen to check how much the stats changed, then back out of the Abilities screen, click on the modding screen again. Instead you could also have an Abilities button next to the other buttons - like Actions, Mods, Remove All, Tutorial and Back. This would streamline the whole process in order to reduce redudancy and decrease time and the amount of clicks it takes from 4 (Back, Abilities, Back, Upgrade) to 2 (Abilities, Back). This may sound like lazyness, but when you spend over 30-60 minutes changing mods and checking how they affect the stats, it's really cumbersome without needing to be so.

12) Show the total amount of "Trades Completed", "Platinum Spent", "Credits Spent" on the "My Profile's Stats" screen. Currently, it only shows "Gross Income", the amount of Credits you earned. Will be helpful to show how many trades an user has made - others could see this to check if the trader has made many trades, meaning he/she is most likely a fair trader; how many Platinum one has spent in the game would help people keep a eye on how much money they have invested in the game.

[phoenix1992]

Any potential fixes for the "damage dealer" ember, or it is okay that any "support" outdpses her?
