Rivens make weapons even more powerful than they are without one so they're definitely not there to balance the challenge in the game, whatever else they may be trying to do. McKilligan posted:So I'm experimenting with Mewan builds 14% or more base crit is good enough for a Blood Rush/Condition Overload hybrid - 14% base gets you a 75% Blood Rush crit chance at a 2.5x combo mult. The 10% with Ekwana II Ruhang gives only a 50% BR crit chance at 2.5x, see the table on the blood rush wiki page. Try Mewan - Seekalla - Ekwana Jai II for a 14% crit / 25% status zaw (my first zaw!). It's also 25% faster than Ekwana II Ruhang which is very good for applying status quickly. If you're using Naramon and skipping Drifting Contact (+40% status), you'll need 3 of the 60/60 status mods to get that status to where it's proccing quickly.

They should add more weapon-class specific mods. At the moment, all of the stats that can be altered by mods are rather straightforward and rarely change how the weapon behaves or how it is used. A gas round feels like a corrosive rounds which feels like a blast round. I'd like to see mods that can drastically affect how a gun feels or handles, like the Arcanes do for zaws and kitguns. Mods that can give more options for weapons that are more or less static, but function more as sidegrades than improvements. I'd like to see options for more variety than 'do I build for stat or crit'. Rifles
Pistols could get more mods that function like the kitgun arcanes -
Bows could get cool bonuses like the Daikyu just got for headshots, which I love-
SMGs
I also DESPERATELY want a frame or melee weapon that can grab an enemy and use their ragdolled corpse as a weapon. McKilligan fucked around with this message at 06:31 on Jul 8, 2019 |

So what I'm hearing is they should add the Cerebral Bore from Turok 2 and give it that ability to make them Kamikaze towards enemies. Weapon augs are really cool and they add an extra bit of flavour to a weapon and I agree they should add more, they're doing a good job with them imo, it's just a bit slow.

If I could add anything to the game it would be deeper stealth mechanics. Every time I go I to the plains I suddenly want to play like its MGSV, take my time and crawl around getting intel/interrogating people. One of the things I'm burnt out on is the standard style of play being to rush and finish everything as quickly as possible. I love to do solo plains and intentionally stay on foot so as to make the experience last. Same with ghosting spy missions.

Everyone, eventually, is speedrunning because on your 500th bounty you're listening to podcasts or watching tv anyway while you drearily delete enemies because if you don't do that you don't get Wukong Prime. It's not a lack of stealth in the game - that certainly exists - it's just that optimizing for speed is naturally what happens when you tell someone to repeat the same content forever. Human problem not game problem, etc. You'd have to contrive a ruleset that forces people to be extremely slow and then A) you'd get feedback worse than the 2019 Nightwave FOMO Crisis and B) no one would ever run it unless they were absolutely 100% forced to.

There's plenty of stuff in warframe i take at my own relaxed pace instead of regarding it as an optimization/speedrun problem, regardless how often i've done it. Having some variety in the pacing actually helps counter the tedium. It's mostly a strong disparity within a squad that tends to cause some friction. Whether you consider the dangling carrots "forcing people" the main core/challenge of the game with the path through "gameplay" to get them a necessary, and ideally minimized, obnoxious evil or if the dangling carrots are just a nice side bonus for enjoying various stuff in the game you like anyway is a different question.

The friction is the reason it’s a problem. I normally see that in syndicate missions, where some people want to blast through and others want to medallion hunt. I also had one guy roll in to the Void capture mission that attempted to comb the entire map for Argon Crystals (I say attempted because the rest of the team extracted). It’s cool if people want to stop and smell the flowers, but if I have a limited amount of time to play and have a specific goal in mind, then how do we resolve that?

rewatching the live play segement, and I have speculations (for now) The Host Matters: even more now, not only the mods on the hosts Rail Jack, but also his skill in flying and calling in Squad Links Every Archwing has Blink but No Archwing on PoE/Fortuna: Team Fish uses K-Drives and runs to the objective Squadlinks Have Rewards: I really fear this will be a unique rescource grind for either a Warframe or similar, to encourage people to idle on the Plains or wherever this occurs.

I didn't get the achievement for "hero of Pluto" (or whatever it's called) until like the fourth time I did that assassination mission, because it wasn't until then that I managed to see the boss before he died and also figure out how to get to the extraction point. (I get lost really easily.)

I got my first floof last month. I guess it's a weird spot to be in because I love the gameplay of Warframe, but I'm kind of over racing to get new stuff, so I try to create my own experiences. There are times where I was definitely the one sprinting way ahead and killing bosses before people even got to see them, but I don't enjoy that so much now.

wisp is an amazing team buffer who eventually gets hosed over when enough nullifiers spawn. nullifiers do that to a lot of frames, though.

Her buffs buff guns though, in a way that makes taking down nulls nice and easy.

Playing solo is definitely an option for people that want to explore, and I often do that for medallion hunts. I just don’t like the missions (like medallion hunts) where there are such starkly different ways to play. Warframe does have a few examples of queueing for intent (Eidolon bounties, Orbs) but those are mostly on open world bosses where it’d be untenable otherwise. And yeah nobody ever communicates, and then they get mad at you for not doing what they wanted. 9 times out of 10 I’ll help people out if they just tell me what they want to do.

'open world' just means very large 4 person instances. there are the hubs, but that's mostly just 10 copies of the exact same chroma with the oversized heavy blade skin hanging out afk around konzu.

And going outside bows, there's no way I'm going to try to hit an Eidilon with Daikyu or wander round a survival or defense mission using it, rivened or not. Even Sniper Rifles are pretty much restricted to open world stuff otherwise you get mauled while you're trying to line up the shot. So while some weapons are more powerful without rivens than with, it kind of depends on which weapon you're using and where you're using it. Like a Lenz is always going to do more single shot damage than a Braton, but if i'm heading into an infested mission, I want the Braton.

DE kind of repeatedly said wolf creds would be useless after the event and to spend em while you got'em. At least season 2 seems to be much easier on the grind so you can grab helms and stuff you missed last time without much work.

With 293 strength and Amalgam Serration she glides through maps beautifully until the game breaks and decides to give her the fast running animation without actually having feet. Oh, and she makes melee spin faster and guns eat through entire clips. Her biggest weakness is that even on maps where you're in one place for a bit (bounties, mobdef, eso, etc) you pretty much have to plant the flowers in the path of an oncoming player to get them to pick up the buffs. Potential triple umbra target if you're willing to burn the forma.

Wisp only has 150 armor, don't bother with Umbral Fiber. There's a reasonable argument for not putting survivability mods on her at all, but if you do, Vitality + Adaptation will get you better results.
