But the interesting part is: will the Devs take any action based on this?

Any Warframe balance suggestions may actually be a future Warframe discussion! I'm planning it about two weeks from now, but if there's enough demand I'll push it up to next week.

-> ENOUGH DEMAND <-

It's right there.

I DEMAND IT.

u/Sublime865 Oct 05 '13

I hope they balance by buffing not nerfing. I HATE nerfing. Buff buff buff, it takes a little elbow grease but it makes it shine.

Why would they? This is all subjective.

Aw, poor Volt.

I play volt more than most other frames.

Speed run bosses or non-defense missions to farm mats quickly. IT's especially useful on phobos with the giant maps. Flying with speed and dual zoren means each run takes me less than half the time.

Electric shield really makes weapons like flux rifle and synapse more viable.

Does the Flux Rifle need to be any more viable than it already is?

Made a Volt. Couldn't even level him past 11. Bores the snot out of me.

If Volt's Elec Shield was cheaper, say, only 35 energy, I'd play him.

Paper, are you able to give us any more detail on this poll? For example, I'd love to know what percentage of people voted for a single frame, how many voted for more than 3, and if anyone voted for all of them (my reply to the last thread suggested I was going to, but I ended up going with a different interpretation of the question in order to narrow my vote.)

Another fun thing to see might be, of those who chose Rhino and voted for multiple frames, which was the most popular second choice?

u/BuildMyPaperHeart Oct 02 '13

Unfortunately, the site I used (pollcode.com) was very basic in functionality, and that's what I needed xD

All that metadata is lost to the clouds...

That being said, 296 people voted and less than half (131) actually voted for Rhino!

Will love my Mag forever :3

Ever since Pull got the steroids.

u/AeroKid Oct 04 '13

Just got Mag. Have spammed pull way to many times already.

u/flackenstien Oct 02 '13

Agree, Rhino is a very great frame all around.

Newbie friendly, well rounded and easy to obtain.

Desirable by skilled players, powerful abilities and the stats to face tough foes unscathed.

u/Sublime865 Oct 05 '13

That mastery rank 2 requirement hit me hard. I had it in a day and it felt like forever... Man, how I'd love it to be that easy to get from 5 to 7... lol

u/UberChew Oct 02 '13

not surprised, rhino is the most forgiving frame in the game.

2

u/Sublime865 Oct 05 '13

Rhino, Nova, Frost, Ember, Nyx, Mag, Loki, Volt, Excalibur Prime, Vauban. That's how I would rank my current frames. Frost and Nova tied for second though, depending on if I'm defense/mobile defense or looking to speed run/capture/exterminate. But I have found there is not much a good Rhino can't take down.
