My theory for the new frame is that its based on the headless horseman. The warframe will have no head and instead have some sort of effect as replacement and further feeds into my theory that warframes are actually headless super infested void mutants contolled by Tenno space ghosts.

I'm in the same boat, just hit MR 7 with about 36k to go to 8 and nothing but my Gorgon Wraith actually able to get leveled. Got a melee and a secondary cooking but that won't be enough even when they come out of the foundry. That's on top of being super busy this weekend.

I wonder if DE even remember that they've gated this poo poo? Every design decision makes it clear that they don't care about players who haven't been with the game for years, or maybe don't even realise that they exist. No I'm totally not just bitter that the prime version of my favourite frame is founder exclusive when I totally would have been playing since then if only I had actually heard of the game.

As both the self declared president of the Tigris fan club and someone who purchased Primed Point Blank earlier today I approve wholeheartedly. Of course now I need to farm mats to build formas even harder than before, which is literally all I've been doing for the last week or so. An occasional Neurode drop would be really nice :argh:

Decided to reinstall Warframe the other day. That may have been a mistake, because i've lost all concept of time and I think my eyes are bleeding. Turns out I had a ton of stuff ready to cook or close to it, too, so i've got a lot of stuff to mess around with. And man, Archwings! Good stuff 5 minutes till my giant space-hammer is finished. I stopped playing just before Hydroid came out - out of the new frames since then, are any of them outright grand? Mesa looked interesting - Valk's my mainstay, and Mesa's ult seems like a ranged alternative (though without the invincibility, I assume) to Hysteria.

Edit: Good lord, I wasn't expecting the Rathbone to be anywhere near as fast as it is. Even unranked it already seems better than the default Veritux. Very pleased! Hope the dual Decurions i'm cooking are as good.

Your default Archgun is the best archgun. The only one that's better is the Vandal version or (others argue) the Velocitus.
For the -okay- Archguns check out the grattler and the Fluctus.

I hate to break it to you, but Dual Dekurions are not good. Sorry man :(

Apparently Perrin Sequence is getting a Dera and Red Veil is getting a Cernos.

A Vaykor Grinlock or Vulkar is probably out since there's already syndicate mods for them. Hopefully it's not another loving Grakata/Gorgon.

I have a feeling that Hexis will probably get a Sybaris or Tiburon, since Loka is getting the Tigris. No idea for Suda, a flux rifle?

Cephalon Suda: Synoid Simulor or something new entirely.

Well, i'll have to see for myself I guess. Disappointing if true, bearing in mind one of the barrels took, like... 40 bloody trench runs to drop. Ended up making 200k credits from all the duplicate parts I got. Still, I also have all the parts for a Velocitus. Just waiting to get back into the Dojo, was evidently purged a while back. I wonder how our decorations are doing...

Goons do like some tacky stuff, huh? The regular-edition Tigris was already pretty blinged-out (especially if you make the trim gold or brass :heysexy:), but this design is just busy.

Still interested because of the precedent of Syndicate weapons that already had good damage getting substantial usability improvements instead, such as the Vaykor Marelok getting a huge mag size upgrade. If this thing has a big boost to reload speed it might be worth putting another five forma in, despite DE re-loving the Tigris trigger.

We can always hope for a Day of the Dead skin in this year's pack to salvage its looks.

Holy poo poo if they do Syndicate Penta. That'd be loving awesome. There will be no weapon choice.

As for Steel Meridian? I'll bet on Vaykor Kohm. They like shotguns, and that one isn't taken yet. Didn't Kohm get passed over in the recent shotgun buffs too? That'd make it a prime candidate for having some buffed up Syndicate version.

One could hope for Vaykor Tonkor though, but I doubt it.

speaking of Gorgon... so I'm looking at stats... is Gorgon Wraith worth potatoing, or only the Prisma? As far as I can tell it has higher status chance and 2 points of damage, along with faster spool up... so do people spec Gorgon Wraith for stat spam?

- Some loving amazing concept art for alternate frame skins was previewed - these were stuff from players in the community with history of good art, that DE contracted to create new skins. New skinsg meshes for Rhino, Saryn, and Trinity were shown. I'll post shots later if nobody else has
So here's these. Again, no ETA was given, only that DE apparently paid certain fan artists to create them, and ran them on their stream, so they will presumably at some point do them.

Temple Guardian Rhino:


Orchid Saryn:


Unnamed (Nautilus?) Trinity:


Also - this is in-house, not a fan thing - original Valkyr, complete with ball gag:


I'm thinking it makes the most business sense to roll out these new skins along with a frame overhaul, likely the reason behind the Prisma Excal skin - so probably we'll see Valkyr next and then Orchid along with Saryn's overhaul. Also -

Alternate Liset 1:

I am all over those skins, I love them. The new Liset design looks neat, too. Reminds me of Zone of the Enders. I see they're keeping up with that whole "Alad V literally skinned Valkyr to dress his Zanuka with", though :gonk:

I'd be more excited for Temple Guardian Rhino if you'd ever see half the detailing under Iron Skin. :(

Trinity looks cool as loving hell though, what a great redesign that stays true to the original silhouette of the frame! I'd play Trinity a lot more if/when this comes out. Edit: I dig the lack of feet, super anime though it may be. It'll look cool if you use it with Archwing!

I'm trying to reserve judgement on the Valkyr skin because it looks like just a low-detail preview, but I'm not too keen on it. Except for the helmet it's a very generic female sci-fi skinsuit, needs a hell of a lot more greebles before it even comes to par with the original skin, much less exceeds it.


Are those some sort of attachments, or total remeshes for the Liset? :eyepop: In both Corpus- and Grineer-themed varieties, even. Can't decide which I like more, I'd gladly use either.

I like the skins too, just keep in mind that this entire stream was basically just them showing concept art and a few models, no gameplay footage or testing, not much in the way of 'we are changing x to do y' stuff.

I'm guessing they're still deep into U18 work and don't have much to show that we don't already know about, so Steve went crazy and raided the art team's drawing board file to fill the hour. A good chunk of this stuff likely won't see the actual game until 2016.

Also - concept of the new Brawler frame (as yet unnamed):



This is the picture they followed up those new skin concepts with.

:downs:

They did mention that the actual model they're working with internally is 'more buff'. It was asked in chat why he's wearing bacon. I would respond; you don't?

Steve dropped those at the end of the stream with little further information given. It sounded like you will be able to entirely replace the Liset at some point - but again, this is drawing board stuff, I didn't get the impression a single line of code has been written for this and it's probably gotten no further than the art room.

He also mentioned them getting once-per-mission use effects such as airstrikes, which I'm hoping aren't tied to the cosmetics of the new ship options, forcing everyone to use the ship that inevitably gets the only good ability.

Given what Mat was saying earlier in the stream, about wanting to overhaul the lower section of the Liset and offer more customization than just colors and noggles, my guess is that they'll combine the two ideas and barely touch the old Liset, just update it to include whatever new appliances they need it to have, and then spend the art team's time on the interiors for the new ships - so those can be the ones where you can custom-color a PBR Orokin reclining chair for your Excal to watch anime in.
