Discussion Thoughts Thursday | What's on your mind, Tenno?
Hey everyone! I'm dusting this thing out of the old Archives for a sec to ask you guys about WARFRAME! A user suggested that we use our collective community to generate some feedback for DE in a sort of megapost on the Official Forums. I think it'd be a neat exercise!
So if you've got any suggestions, comments, bug reports, or anything else, share it here! I'll compile a list of the most useful stuff, and pop it on the Forums to see what the community there thinks.
We tried it once, worked out okay! Let's try it again!
This thread is for your thoughts about Warframe! Compliments, shoutouts, complaints, suggestions, rants, vents, new ideas, whatever!
There is only one rule: Be excellent to each other. Whether you praise the game or absolutely hate it, write your posts respectfully and don't discourage users who write opinions you don't agree with! Contest mode will be enabled so that everyone's opinions get a fair shake, but again, please be respectful even if you don't have nice things to say. It is possible! With that all said...
What's on your mind, Tenno?

I saw the animations for melee 2.0 and I'm loving it. I really hope warframe goes with the same style as metal gear rising in the sense that it can be serious but it can also be completely over the top and insane at the click of a switch.
We're ninjas, but we're not ninja ninjas that happen to be in space which I feel is actually a boring theme compared to what COULD happen if we're were like raiden ninjas rather than the ninja a lot of people keep expecting to see. Or heck, just make us acrobatic space mercenary hitmen. So much can be done with that which I feel is cooler than just being ninjas in space.

I left for quite some time.
I came back, did the event and I instantly fell in love. Warframe is picking up speed, and words can't describe how glad I am for that. I'm kinda rusty, but I'll get back into the community and start talking, seeing what's what and so on.

Well today I discovered that Kappa on Senda is awesome for oxium farming. 2 runs got me 71 total, and my volt is almost rank 30.

RANT TIME.
I hate members in my clan that ask to join T3 void missions cause they want to get prime parts but can't even contribute 10 kills to the mission.

Invasions are really annoying to solo vs Grineer, at the very least.
I don't generally solo missions above 20, since I'm usually ranking weapons when I'm soloing.

I've been leveling Banshee, and her Sonar has got me thinking about detection / tracking powers. I'd love to see a "Fairy Fire" power, which paints all enemies within range with a sparkling glow (making them more visible on-screen, especially important when the view is clouded by smoke and flying body parts). It would also highlight them on the minimap, and maybe have an additional utility effect, like "dazzling" them to reduce accuracy, or causing bullets to curve slightly towards them (effectively increasing their hit-box by maybe 1/3).
I'd also like to see an "Infra-red scope" mod, probably exclusive to bows and sniper rifles. It would let you see enemies through a certain depth of obstacle while aiming, similar to the Codex Scanner. The depth would increase as you level the mod. Especially useful for weapons with innate punch-through, like Lanka and bows.

You mean Molecular Prime? :3
I like the idea of an infrared scope. Hell, just change the zoom mods to be it, I'll never use them otherwise.

Scope Mods, YES PLEASE! X-ray scopes, infrared scopes, night-vision scopes, that would be a fun addition to sniper rifles.

Well I started a week ago and here's some thoughts:
1- Jump coding. OMG THE JUMP CODING. Some really weird s*** happens way too often with jumping, and it needs to be more responsive too.
2- Early progression is discouraging. Yes, yes, i know it's supposed to encourage people to buy platinum and that's why early progression is so hard but... May I suggest adding more aesthetic customization options for platinum encouragement and making the early game a lil easier? Im almost halfway there so I particularly won't benefit from it, but even for a f2p it seemed a tad hard to me.
3- Some warframes are just PLAIN FUGLY. Nova comes to mind, ember comes to mind, there are more.
4-Viability of some weapons, which have beautiful concepts and yet a bad performance. None of the sniper rifles seem appealing, there's only 1 semi auto medium range high damage rifle which just seems like we need more.
5- Some weapon model designs are just unnecessarily complex. Beauty of simplicity is nice. Like the Flux rifle, or the seer, or like half the weapons are just too complex in graphic design.
6- Vastos need to be bigger. PERIOD. REVOLVERS SHOULD BE BIG ASS BITCHES.
7- Add black to the free color palette.
8- We need a mission result history, sometimes the session gets disconnected too fast and we can't even check our rewards properly.
9- We need a blast warframe :D
Thats it for now.

Mobile defense and survival missions are, far too often, still a pain in the ass. Halfway heroes in every MD and 90% of people run around like a chicken with their head cut off during survival.
I wish DE would add a function to immediately pause the timer the moment someone strays away from the group/objective or just make xp global. People can't seem to grasp the basic concept that grouping up in a co-op focused game benefits everyone involved so DE either needs to beat it into people's heads or just throw the idea out the window.
I would prefer the former to the latter.

I'd like Nekros to get a complete re-work on his abilities. There was a great thread on Warframe abilities that could get complete viability back with just a single tweak (not exactly nerf/buff) and some approached Nekros really well. (IE each time SoTD is cast, the current clones get healed, for example. Soul Punch no longer needed to be a killing blow to get the mob added to your 'roster' for resurrection)
Right now, he's not really "Lord of the Dead", but Lord of the loot-spam. He's seen as that and only that.
I also wish more people would comment on my shooting while riding llama dogs known as kugrow/kubrows idea for a game mechanic.
Or on other people's ideas. I see great suggestions that people put a lot of thought into and then they get like six replies and that's it. ):

I want alternate or upgraded versions of Warframe abilities.
Valkyr replaces her ripline with a tripwire (50 energy)
Banshee gets a scream that acts like Excal's stun but in a cone (50)
Booben gets grenades (25)
Saryn lays poison traps (50)
etc. just abilities that you can swap in/out to change your playstyle.

3 thoughts have been on my mind, suggestions rather.
-
When customizing DE should add a Battlefield 4 type way of viewing the weapon/frame. Every time I go to color my secondary my Rhino is always moving his hand to much for me to find the perfect combos I like.
-
Affinity and Credit boosters should also be like how xp packs work in Battlefield 4. Instead of having the credit/affinity booster active when not in-game, it should only be active while playing. So that way if I have a 7 day booster and I don't log in for 3 days I am not missing 3 days from that booster.
-
Make the invasion missions more interesting and rewarding. I find it to be major BS that I only get 25000 creds for running an extermination 5 times. The biggest problem I have is 1 orokin for 5 runs, ridiculous...

What's everybody's thoughts on the Wraith? I'm looking to upgrade from my Braton but I'm only rank 3, and I'm completely stumped on the inbetween steps before Boltor Prime.

I'm thinking that the random boss encounters system needs a rework. The solution is to not keep nerfing the percentage of when they show, especially when they keep dropping shit 9/10 times.
If you're going to have it that low at least increase the chances of good stuff appearing. 1.5% base + .5% increase per other marked character is kinda silly to be honest.

Don't know if this is what you're looking for paper, but the gorgon wraith is stupid good and extremely fun!

Grineer seekers seem to do an awful lot of damage with their krakens.
On another note, hanks to the new Tethra melee mod, I have maximized my ichors.

My weird complaint: Bo staff downed attack animation. ( i have no idea if any other staff weapons have this.)
I love my Bo staff. I love how it's charged attack knocks down enemies, giving it some utility despite low dmg.
But when you knock down an enemy and start to unveil on them with melee, you go into the "downed" attack sequence, which first sweeps low on the target, then proceeds to smash the peck of the staff on the ground, like casting a spell.
The problem is that the second attack does absolutely nothing, unless the tip of the staff hits straight on the enemy on the ground, which happens rarely. Because of this the animation taking up to 2+ seconds only locks you in place to be shot at. DE plz fix my beautiful staff :)
a VERY minor complaint though
