Coming Soon: Devstream #109!

[Lone_Wolfen]

Cutting to the chase:  We are one quarter through 2018 and the only information we have on The Sacrifice was from last year, the same year you all initially announced to release it.  What is the reason for the massive surge of Valve Time.

[CalmWalks]

So many good questions! cant wait for dev stream! 

[Voidstalker1983]

Short and sweet question, can we please get a sentient color palette? 

[Jackem_Kross]

Will quest characters get noggles? (Maroo, Syndicate leaders, Darvo etc.)

[DeadMadCat1]

Do you have any ideas for Helminth and/or Cephalon Samodeus? Both of them seem like they play an important role in the life (or at least past) of the Tenno (e.g. loyal/tamed infestation, MODS).

^{Please add more amp parts pretty please...}

[Seraphim_Okashira]

Hi devs!

Question is same as last devstream:

[-CAT-Drakulon]

 

Hi,

When we get any information about trials?

When we get information about changing shield that were supposed to be long ago?

Maybe some information about delux to Nezha / Vauban?

The concept of an old alternative helmet for equinox will take place whether it has been removed?

Maybe some information when it will be dmg 2.5?

 

 

[Flaezon]

Hey guys, congratulations on your #4 Warframe comic, which it follows my next question, have you ever concider include promo codes in your comics? Like unique cosmetics, decorations , a small amount of platinum, etc.

[(XBOX)GODz Viper]

Any news about the "old style" weapons' proto skins you've shown some devstreams ago? 

[Foefaller]

Is there any possiblity that Ember's Passive can be changed to something that is generally more useful? Having the effect rely on Ember suffering a Heat proc is a bit of a problem considering she's one of the more fragile warframes and nearly all of the enemies that can apply Heat procs are some of the most dangerous in the game.

[tsoa]

I make it short:

1) Thanks for the last Mag changes! Counter Pulse is quite nice and it's so funny to watch the enemies hitting their weapons. :D

2) I'd like to have music in my orbiter but not during missions.

3) Are there any news about the giant flying Eidolon?

4) Are there plans to reduce the capacity drain of articulas? Maybe from 100 down to 50? It's a shame that I can only place a tiny fraction of the ones I have.

[(PSN)thephoenixarchon]

One quick question...Mesa's dual pistol deluxe shares with single pistols as well. Can we get single weapons skins, like Ember's deluxe pistol and Frost's deluxe sword skin on dual weapons? I think i'd be an amazing addition for fasion frame.

[Gaikki]

1.Is there a plan for Archwing rework and giving them some PBR treatment? 

2. Any news on dual wielding? I have been waiting for too long... 

3. Any news on melee 3.0? 

[(PSN)CascadeConcrete]

Q: Quality of life changes to pets -

I am sure this question has been asked but I would like to ask it again: Has there been and consideration or work done to add the ability to have more then one pet in the companion sellection screen?  Similar to our Carriers, Helios, ect. being able to choose from more than one pet would be a very welcomed quality of life change to gameplay.  As for myself I find it a bit tedious to constantly go back to my incubator (when the night cycle is about to start) and swap my go to Smeeta to my Ardarza.  I realize there is the component of the pet wandering around the orbiter but this could also serve as an additional quality of life giving us the capability to finally have a puppy or kitty without sacrificing the ability to use our mature pets.  Thanks for the consideration to my question and keep up the great work! 

[Kosen]

To Steve, 2 Questions:

1. The tweet you sent the other day about the quest's script being done is a good signal; however, do you think the sacrifice is still aimed before tennocon?

2. In said quest, will you allow us to finally give Lotus/Natah/Space mom a hug?

2.5. Are you gonna wear your pink shorts at tennocon?

And for good ol' geoff:

How are the concepts of the operator melee? We'll be able to switch it up with our amps like we do with primary and secundary weapons? 

 

[(PSN)drollive96]

Could you please fix the camera for decoration mode in the dojo ? I find it difficult to use 

[Lyravain]

Here are my questions;

1) Are we going to get a rework on some of the older animations for melee weapons? There's quite a few (the Nikana, Sparring/Fist and Sword&Board stances for example) that look painfully horrible. As a suggestion; hire (or ask) a professional to mo-cap for you. Should be done fast and give you a great set of movements.

2) A Spear melee weapon? Please?

3) Primed Chamber release? Seriously, it's worse than a meme at this point. Along this, other 'unique' mods such as Affinity Amp.

4) Rework for login tributes incoming?

5) Rework for Sortie Rewards incoming?

6) Any more info on Void Onslaught and its rewards? Looks interesting, but there's few rewards most of us would care for; Endo, Focus and little else.

[Daskrieg]

When can we expect to see more gunblades added, would be fun to see corpus or grineer version and maybe even zaw based ones.

[Eldirian]

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

[AuroraSonicBoom]

Good to see you guys back on twitch!

I'm going to ask a question that has a bit more of a personal bias than usual. Would you consider improving Ghost(Shade's precept) by allowing it to retrigger immediately if it hasn't been active for longer than a second? It would solve the issue of good opportunities to go into stealth being ruined by an enemy that swiftly moves in and out of Ghost's range. Another question I had regarding the same augment is if you think it's possible to revert it's functionality to what it was at launch, where stealth kills performed while cloaked by Ghost wouldn't break it.

I've also got a question for Sheldon. After his last statement regarding Primed Chamber and him not planning to release it for... uhm... personal reasons, could we have a duplicate mod(Primed Charged Chamber) with the exact same stats released without allowing it to be used alongside Primed Chamber? That'd relegate the mod to a mere cosmetic exclusive without destroying its collectors value completely. Sound like a fair compromise, no?

 

Thanks!

[-CG-Aurigio]

Any updates on the two-handed katana shown to us?

[Rhundis]

Not so much a gameplay or feature question, but in terms of Prime Access and creating "New" Prime frames, does work start on those as soon as you release the previous Access? 

For example; 

Did the art team start working on Zephyr Prime as soon as Mirage Prime was released, or was there some down time in between?

I'm just curious as to how busy the team making such awesome Primes are and how your internal process works.

*Off the record: Please tell me BeastBuster's Rhino - 'Blade of The Lotus' skin made it in for this round of Tennogen. 

[VikingZZZ]

Dear DE.

I know you are working on the MOA pets, but will there be an Ordis or Ordan Kerris related quest that will bring and Cephilon pet or Sentiel in the future? Maybe some "artifacts" from when Ordan Kerris were running around. (Or at least give Ordis a feeew more cheeky one-liners).

Will we be able to enter the infected room on the orbiter more freely in the future? (or add a bed somewhere else on the ship).

Weird question, where on the orbiter does our tenno eat (and what) and go to the "little boys room" to relieve themself?

Will there be a function to add "favorites" to the forge, for easy and often use blueprint in the future?

Thanks for an ever expanding fantastic game! Many hugs from a MR rank 25 Swede!

[The_Last_Yukami]

Question 1:

Will we see some rework or hash out of the validity of The Sergeant and Nef Anyo? it's likely been asked alot but the phobos boss is literally the only boss in the game without some true elements of defining character. in comparison to every other boss, save phorid who is a oversized and overpowered charger infested, The Sergeant has little character and hasn't seen any true love as a memorable fight like Vor or Ambulas. Heck, the Raptors, Hyena and Jackal has more definition in their fights than The Sergeant.

Question 2:

With the announcement of Venus getting a open world and a somewhat larger area and definition to PoE, will there be some Corpus quest leading to a new warframe like the PoE quest Saya's Vigil? Needless to say, people are anxious to try out this seemingly expansive and wide open space planned for Venus. I see more of the story behind it needing some deeper lore and some reward that people will no doubt reach for the main ticket to interest.

Question 3:

In the Second Dream Quest, the Stalker is revealed to have been a Tenno prior to ruthlessly hunting and killing Tenno('s warframes). Is there any deeper plans to figure out who that Tenno whom runs the Stalker or what happened to him/her? I felt like while the War Within and Second Dream quests were great, we have a looming boss Hunhow that created significantly more questions than answers. If warframes are truly Tenno controling humanoid armor sets, then there has to be something behind the Stalker. Either a rogue Tenno malevolent at the Lotus and all assocation (hence, hunting tenno), or some confused individual that is in a warframe looking for something prominent.

Question 4:

Space mom disaappeared, Sacrifice is still incognito, and some lanky guy with evidently the star chart's most expectant sword left people with a teaser quest and a blue robotic Lotus. When are we getting the finished quest line for Ballas, and my space mom back? I personally did not do the autopsy (if that is what its calledd) prologue and its been months since it was announced. I have seen too many partners of DE and various streams of the lotus being a pseudo-cephalon, and want my thicc space mom back plz.

[NinthAria]

Couple of questions, one lore-related and one gameplay-related. I welcome you to answer one or both (or neither) of them as you see appropriate.

First: Can you shed any light on the machine the Corpus use to (temporarily) incapacitate Valkyr in the Valkyr Prime trailer? Will we ever see it used in-game, or was it purely a cinematic tool?

Second: Is there any chance excavation drills could receive health scaling based on mission level, similar to how other defensible objectives work? I know this poses some risks re: rewards/cryotic farming speeds, but as it currently stands, excavators require nigh-constant attention from a defense-heavy frame (Frost, Vauban, etc.) past level 25-30 on account of enemies being able to chew through 2500 health in a matter of seconds. Solo excavations at these levels are especially frustrating in this regard.

Good to have you guys back.
