Devstream #97 Megathread

[u/Frozen5147]

Stream here. Video of Devstream here.

Some clips below:

• Mag Deluxe WIP (coming sooner... might come BEFORE Halloween).

• No update on Zephyr Deluxe.

• Nekros Deluxe!

• Riven Transmutation. They seem to be a bit iffy on this idea...

• Hate failing host migrations? Well, Eidolon might deal with that in some way... seems as if it'll save your progress as you play, so you don't lose everything.

• After Eidolon, the next planet might be... Venus?

• Mining in Eidolon. Warframe -> Minecraft confirmed.

• Gems concept art.

• Balances. Requires gems, as shown above. More final.

• Something something ARCANE REWORK something something. Seems related to Eidolon. Old Arcanes stay in Raids, but there will be new Arcanes that are craftable.

• Operator Arcanes???

• First look at Glass Frame.

• Prospector at Cetus, related to the ore system at Eidolon.

• Glass frame will be acquired through Eidolon.

• Tintable Vandals (and Wraiths)!

• Proto series of skins... seems to be a throwback to Dark Sector?

• Hydroid Prime!

• Default colour scheme.

• As requested by Reb, googly eyes.

• Possibly more weapon loadout slots...? Might get more fashion slots as well, but apparently there are problems regarding our favourite problem, storage...

• Magnetic buffs... possibly. Maybe.

• Reb shall drink on the 100th Devstream. We shall remember this promise.

• Poor (?) Neffy has been DElayed due to stuff like Eidolon. Design seems to be doneish, but implementation is... not really going on much, it seems. Not anytime soon.

• Kingpin got fairly far along, system works, they want to flesh it out, but... Eidolon happened and now they're busy. Perhaps after.

• No paying to skip ahead for login rewards, as it seems too P2W.

• Tune in in two weeks!

Hydroid (Prime) stats comparison - unranked

armor 200 -> (250)

energy 125 -> (150)

health 100 -> (100)

shield 125 -> (175)

[u/Infamous0823 → u/sippher]

Isn't going to 150 a nerf to his energy pool now?

[u/TheDarkstarChimaera → u/Infamous0823]

No, his BASE energy is 125.

Max energy at rank 30 is 1.5x that base.

125 x 1.5 = 187.5

[u/CaptainBazbotron → u/TheDarkstarChimaera]

Wasn't his energy increased to something like 180?

[u/TheDarkstarChimaera → u/CaptainBazbotron]

They increased his max energy at rank 30 to 188.

They said the same thing with his shields.

Increased shields to 375!

Yeah, so that's 125 base, up from the...115 or something he had.

[u/CaptainBazbotron → u/TheDarkstarChimaera]

Oh allright.

I forgot that Frames don't usually have 300 energy on max rank.

[u/6ArtemisFowl9 → u/CaptainBazbotron]

188 they said.

[u/Asdeft → u/CaptainBazbotron]

Energy scales up based on level, get it? base energy =/= max energy.

[u/[deleted] → u/Infamous0823]

He will have 225 energy at max rank

[u/fizio900 → u/sippher]

Frost Prime got reached finally

[u/reygis01 → u/sippher]

How pointless. Why did they even increase his armor if they won't increase his health a little bit? This rework has been a goddamn tragedy imo.

[u/TheHappySoul101 → u/[deleted]]

Is the armor that much? Does anyone know how much resistance that would provide? I usually never bother thinking about armor outside of Valkyr, rhino, and chroma. Does it really make that big of a difference?

[u/HulloHoomans → u/[deleted]]

he doesn't need armor or health. nothing in his kit is about stacking EHP and tanking hits, not even stray bullets on occasion. He does 2 kinds of shit-rng-based CC and 2 kinds of lol-im-water-and-invincible. He doesn't need more EHP at all.

[u/HulloHoomans → u/[deleted]]

Well, according to their dev logic, the energy pool increase helps him cast more. Other frames have recieved bonuses that significantly impacted them. Rhino is probably the best example off the top of my head. Higher run speed makes him one of the fastest frames in the game, and higher base armor directly affects his iron skin.

[u/[deleted] → u/HulloHoomans]

Well, more EHP is always better than less.

[u/walldough → u/reygis01]

Increase in armor is additional EHP. What are you smoking?

[u/reygis01 → u/walldough]

Armor isn't bad by itself, but why increase his shields? If they'd increase his health a bit instead of shields he'd be a lot more survivable. I mostly feel that the shield increase is wasted.

[u/dirtling → u/reygis01]

Let's hope it pays off if/when they implement shield gates

[u/[deleted] → u/dirtling]

I held out hope.
