There's even a thread with some guy trying (poorly) to drum up a boycott of trading. What I'm amazed at is the people who are offering like, 2000 platinum (that's ~$100 USD) for Primed Chamber. Seriously you guys? Just buy another goddamn game. Or an internet spaceship or something. How the hell are people so bad at cost-benefit?

Kanos posted:Even for frames with 150 or 200 base armor, Steel Fiber is a poo poo mod that basically adds no survivability anyway. It's one of the reasons why Valkyr can't tank at all outside Hysteria despite having 200 armor. (because armor is a joke of a stat and any viable tanking is done through abilities or shield stacking) Honestly I'm not sure if DE even understands their game sometimes. Valkyr's health-tanking ways would make total sense if it was like, say, Space Marine and you recovered health via melee executions (at which point Valkyr could very effectively tank) but as it stands it's just "Man What". I think they kind of hosed the armor curve for Warframes as well, because they reduced the amount of mitigation armor gave overall but completely failed to increase the armor values of Warframes to account for that. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0AlWVt6vp3-YWdFh0dS1YNUxjRXRENnBJa1dqQ1pXVXc&usp=sharing Basically, Rhino should be running something like 400 armor in Damage 2.0, and Excalibur should be around 150. This would imply that Valkyr should be running 600+ Armor. Even the light Warframes like Nyx and whatnot should be running 30 armor.

Ciaphas posted:Finally got around to buying the Braton and uh holy poo poo the M-1 Braton really is loving terrible I think your only early choice is the Strun, which is okay. The Sobek, if you get Nightmare mods, is probably the best in class right now, since it combines adequate damage and a reasonable critical chance with high accuracy and a gigantic magazine, plus full-auto capability. Hek is still very good at killing things, but not quite as good as the Sobek IME. Disclaimer: If you don't have the reload speed mod there is a chance you will die of old age before it finishes reloading.

Denzine posted:Super Jump is pretty much the laziest power in the world yeah. I said ages ago that they should just add the ability to charge up jumps and give Excalbur an actually legitimate skill instead of Super Jump, which is amazingly fun but utterly pointless. I mean seriously, wouldn't it be really cool to be able to jump 10 meters into the air with every Warframe? "But then you wouldn't need parkour!" Well you basically don't need it now, either! It gives you some shortcuts but hell, maybe someone will figure out some way to combine charged-jumps, parkour, and Zorencoptering to do some really crazy stunts. And honestly, the emergent craziness is half of what makes Warframe fun.

It's basically 10/10 on recognizing issues, 2/10 on figuring out how to fix them. Which ironically is kind of like Damage 2.0. :p

Denzine posted:The base damage changing so massively, and everything else building off of it, is the problem. Nothing else is as meaningful as base damage. Baking damage into weapon level does nothing. It does something very important, actually. It divorces the majority of the DPS of the weapon from RNG luck and mods. I mean, flattening damage curves significantly like Male Man says (and possibly even Warframe toughness) would also work. ME3's system, where a maxed out weapon has maybe 30% more raw damage than a lv1 one and a maxed out character maxes out at maybe 100% more durability could also work, although I like noticeable increases in damage. That's personal preference though. Kessel posted:Honestly, why are there even mods that straight up increase the raw damage of a weapon? It made some sense before Update 7, when a damage mod gave you maybe 25% damage for a really really good one, while things like say, +Magazine Size could be +100%. At that point a damage mod was great to have but not overpowering. Then post Update 7, they decided to burn every passive benefit and bake them into mods because (???) I'm serious, I normally can at least see why DE did something boneheaded that they did, but I literally cannot comprehend what they were thinking there. And when people like me brought up that no passive improvements were bullshit, DE reneged on Warframes but completely forgot about weapons and I don't know why.

Gestalt Intellect posted:This isn't the point. when I used to kill people with the hammer they would go flying all over the place, bouncing nonsensically off of walls and ceilings before coming to a sudden and mysterious halt floating motionless in midair. Now the hammer just sort of clips through them and they may or may not slowly fall over. Report it in the bug reports section of the forum. Basically, because ragdolling was originally keyed to damage types but not anymore, a lot of weapons which normally would ragdoll no longer do in Damage 2.0. They fixed this by making some weapons force ragdoll and others force ragdolling on death, but they may have forgotten about the hammer.

Denzine posted:They can't remove Serration or HCal without people whining about it for months, possibly forever, on their forums. It would be a massively unpopular move, even if it is the right one for the long-term health of the game. When I suggested burning pure +damage mods to the ground, I suggested just refunding everyone the credits/cores needed to get themselves the mods to that rank. It would be fairly reasonable. But DE really is incapable of not caving in to their userbase, which can be nice sometimes (when they make boneheaded decisions on their own, like the previous stamina change that was rolled back) and is completely awful in other situations (like now). The thing about pure +damage mods is that they can be balanced alongside other mods, it's just that utility mods have to be just as useful and this requires them to be a lot weaker, relatively speaking. If a maxed serration on a Lv30 weapon was say, +25% damage or whatever, you might instead consider +60% fire rate or +100% reload speed or who the hell knows. When a maxed serration is doubling your damage considering any other mods is much, much harder.

Not Hitscan 2. Reload time measured in eons (base reload is like, 3.0 seconds). It needs both reload mods (the Nightmare one and the regular one) maxed to be of any real use, but once you get those two it's actually pretty good.

Mistikman posted:The confusion comes with the fact that armor never drops, so how is damage calculated when you are effectively hitting, for example, clones flesh and alloy at the same time? If I do exclusively slash damage, then I am getting a 25% bonus vs cloned flesh, but a 50% penalty vs alloy. How does that work, exactly? I suspect how it works is this: The damage is increased by 25% (due to cloned flesh) but the effective armor rating of the Grineer is increased by 50% (due to alloy armor). This is how it worked when armored enemies had only one type, wherein a bonus would reduce their armor rating by that much (so 50% bonus would halve their effective armor rating) and added that much damage.

AndroidHub posted:Super jump and mind control are fine, their frames just don't see a whole lot of use these days due to power creep. Mind control is great because you can pick out a Bombard/Napalm/Tech/etc and they will do quite a number on the rest of your enemies. I think mind control would be a lot better if it wasn't a duration, and instead was just permanent, there isn't really any given enemy that you can mind control that would be super unbalanced to have until it dies (but now that I think of it the new champion mobs come to mind). Super jump is just a fun skill, especially with lots of extra power strength, and as said before it's really cheap to cast. Silence and Contagion should just be passives or toggleables honestly. Especially Silence. I'm not sure a 'passive' ability would be really great in the design of power use, but I think it might work. Say, Contagion adds to your melee damage passively but also reduces the power efficiency of all powers by 15% or so while active, and Silence just has no costs whatsoever. It'd still be gimmicky but it'd at least be something for a gimmick ninja run.

Denzine posted:Yesterday I made 500 plat off pubbies by selling Tranquil Cleave at silly prices. I sold a Life Strike to a guy for 200 plat. On the other hand, some idiot got it from transmutation a day before the Dark Sectors came out, and thus nobody knew how you'd get them-and he sold it for 20 plat. His rationale? "It sucks, because if you always play Rhino and Rhino skin all the time and play no other Warframes ever and also always use melee channeling for your damage it's wasteful". It's become a running joke in the clan, wherein everyone who has a Life Strike occasionally says they'll trade "a useless mod called Life Strike" for things like "3 Slash Dashes".

Sprecherscrow posted:Wait, duration effects the range of MPrime and not...range? Da fuq? Yes, some powers have a constant 'speed' of spreading which means that the area they cover is affected by range. I suggested a while back that every power should get benefits from every type of +Power Mod. I suggested that the benefits should be sensible and intuitive, such as Rhino Skin giving a brief (~0.5s/level?) period of invulnerability after being broken that you can buff, or Volt Speed being even more GoFast per point of +Power Strength and so on. Because this would be sensible, it was ignored.  Anyways, after playing way too much Titanfall I really think Warframe needs: 1. Better Parkour. Really, double jumps, removing Stamina, and air mobility would make up significantly for the current system. Stamina is entirely pointless outside of meaning that you can't Go Fast after getting into melee combat (which is retarded because melee is already somewhat weaker than guns), and removing it wouldn't cost much. Having an ability to maneuver in midair (whether a double jump, an air dash, or something similar) would let you do things like bouncing between walls to get up, increase the ability of tile designers to add verticality and/or secrets, and let everyone have fun. You might have to redesign Zephyr's 1/2 powers and Excalibur's Super Jump, but honestly the latter power is kinda poo poo and Zephyr probably could do with outright being able to fly instead of her current setup because flying is fun. 2. More melee attacks. Melee needs at least some basic anti-air moves for weapons and some ability to wreck things like Arc Traps and the stupid energy drain sensor bars. Give us hold-melee attacks again so we can have these (so tap E for an air attack, hold E for the ground pound). Fix Channeling to actually be worthwhile, possibly by reducing its energy cost per attack for faster weapons, such that you have a relatively fixed level of energy cost per second of attacks for Channeling. Make most of the lovely Channeling mods not actually make Channeling more expensive because holy gently caress why would you use any of them at this point? Those are probably the core 'janky' things, versus core mechanics that aren't ever going to be fixed (ref: +Damage mods) because we're silly. Halving the Damage mods' effectiveness and then giving that half to natural level-ups wouldn't fix the core problem but it'd at least make it easier to deal with the "Just Starting Out And I Have No Friends" thing.

wid posted:It was originally a bow specific mod so you could pretend you're John Rambo in Rambo II. They should have changed the mod back to its original but remove it from Attica. Then make a new mod for Attica, maybe call it Thunderstorm, with the stats of current Thunderbolt. Or keep the current Tbolt stat and make it bow only but make the explosion always occuring. Then you're truly Space Ninja Rambo. Bundle that up with a serrated knife and a red bandana for your helmet. Thunderbolt should have been 100% chance to explode with the damage and radius being increased as you level it up-and possibly make it proportional to the bow's base damage. That'd make it better for bows and make it more reliable on the Attica while being a sort of nerf.

AggroJagg posted:I'm probably making a huge bad decision but I'm gonna try playing this game! I'm on ps4 and just waiting for all the patches to finish. Shotguns are kinda bad but really as a starting player you won't notice the goodness or badness of weapons (outside of non-Opticor sniper rifles) very much because it's largely a question of scaling. They have a pretty significant damage falloff at ~10-15m, though, and melee weapons are pretty powerful, so I'd argue that because you have space-swords you shouldn't use them.

Xun posted:Anyone have example Mag/Valkyr builds? It'd be nice to know what I should be throwing my cores at For Valkyr you really don't need much more than some Duration mods, Vitality, Steel Fiber, and Rage (Rage is super important), and you might as well run Rush because you'll be doing a lot of running around. Basically, take hits to recharge energy, Hysteria when your health looks to be low or when your energy is full, repeat. Ideally I think you want Overextended because the smaller your Hysteria radius the less likely you are to take damage when it ends, and sure your Warcry will affect fewer people but you're probably generally using it as a self-buff anyhow.

It already burns through its magazine in less than 1 second. Adding Anemic Agility, Lethal Torrent, and Gunslinger onto a Viper for a total of +(90 + 60 + 72 = 222) fire rate means its 14.4 fire rate becomes 46.4, which means you can burn a mag in 0.3 seconds. With max multishot, that's 39.2 bullets ejected in the same time. It's absurd and also kind of a great idea. Going to try this sometime.

Flipswitch posted:I think DE need to make some sort of huge blog post with like a timeline style plan of where they want the game to end up. The end game content in this game blows chunks and they need to kind of tell players where they want to take the game. Even if it just ends up MH style where you get to the end to show off your gaudy amounts of bling to other players which only drops from like high level raids. Gives you something cosmetic to work towards and to look at at the end, as opposed to just grinding out credz and fusion cores to smash more mods together. That would be hard, because that would require DE to actually know where they want the game to end up.  The nerfing of the Synoid wouldn't be a problem if it actually seemed like there was something resembling a plan behind it-weapons need to be bounded by X parameters or the like because they believe the effective cap of equipment effectiveness should be Y and are working to make the enemies at that cap fun. It seems that sometimes DE doesn't know why people play their space ninja simulator.
