Warframe Dev Tracker

It's been an exciting week for Warframe. Following the very positive launch of Dante Unbound, we threw open the doors to the Deep Archimedea and Elite Deep Archimedea. People have been laughing all the way to the bank with their new-found riches of Archon Shards.

But there's also been some missteps which we must take responsibility and apologize for, with regard to Dante himself and the rapid changes that caught people unawares. We've already made a big correction by fixing the new Line of Sight calculations which were, to put it bluntly, not as good as they should have been on release.

We never stop reviewing feedback, and in the spirit of making constant improvements to our game, here's a preview of our next steps in response to what players have said:

1. Adding back and formalizing the Status Damage Vulnerability to Dante's "Pageflight". In other words not just making enemies take more Status procs, but also increasing the damage of their Status. We re...

We botched the LoS change to Dante yesterday and apologize for shipping it in that state. We will be making changes later today to improve it, details ahead.

One silver lining that came from this mistake is that we have decided we will revisit older LoS checks to use this improved version in a future update.

Old LoS check:
We do a raycast, basically draw a line from you to the enemies center and if nothing interrupts the line along the way they are considered on sight. Raycasts ignore other enemies.
Additionally we had a bug that prevented it from working on ragdolled enemies, so if they were pulled by vortex or whatever they were totally invisible to the ability.

The main problem with this approach(aside from the huge ragdoll bug) is that a single raycast can easily trigger as false if for example there is a small railing between you and the enemy. Abilities like Radial Blind, Vast Untime and Rotorswell for example use this same l...

We've been poring over your comments regarding the balance changes to Dante and want to reiterate that we are paying close attention to player feedback and taking these conversations very seriously. As with everything in Warframe, iteration is always possible, and we’ll be keeping a close eye on how Dante feels now that these alterations are in your hands.

One of the clearest pain points from the community is the inconsistencies in Tragedy’s Line of Sight (LOS) checks, and we can confirm that the following changes are already on deck for an upcoming hotfix:

• Tragedy not hitting ragdolled enemies that are within LOS
• Increasing the number of LOS checks per enemy to improve the reliability of marginal hits

We are still actively reading your feedback and encourage you to continue to share your constructive thoughts after spending time playing Dante with the changes. Thank you to everyone who has shared their thoughts with us thus far!

Hiho!

If you notice LOS abilities not working properly, could you record a video for it? Without a video it's often very difficult to tell where an interaction goes wrong.

Post them on the forums or via support ticket and I'll check it out. Just ping or @ me when you do, so I don't miss it.

Thanks!

Hiho!

1. We are actively working on performance improvements for GI lighting. If you could post on the forums with your settings and current performance, we'll check it out. Just ping me, so I don't miss it.
2. The abilities listed were already changed a week back and should only affect how enemies with Overguard react. Please let me know if you notice changes with regular enemies!

Cheers!

Hiho!

For visibility here, we're actively reading your feedback on the nerfs/changes, Deep Archimedea, etc.

We hear you on it all and are not taking it lightly. We're reviewing LoS right now with Dante.

Appreciate the constructive comments.

Thanks!

EDIT: We see that Dante's Tragedy LoS does not hit ragdolls and has issues hitting enemies in your general sight (as noted in this thread.)

We're testing a change to Dante's LoS that both effectively hits ragdolls and does the increased number of checks per enemy to improve the reliability of marginal hits.

Hiho!

iOS getting isolated was only for a few days. It should be back to normal.

If you're still experienceing issues, could you check your browser cache or your popup blockers?

Hiho!

Could you please check your popup blockers? iOS linking should be working fine in general but it seems like there's issues in some edge cases.

Hiho!

Just jumping in to let you know that the upcoming Hotfix will bring improvements for Reactant collection in Cascade. We raised their drop rate, so Cascade will hopefully feel way more fluid.

Cheers!

Sadly imgur removes meta-data from our F6 screenshots. If you have taken F6 screenshots, could you send them to support?

Tenno!

Deep Archimedea is coming to a Sanctum Anatomica near you TOMORROW on all platforms! Friendly reminder that you must be Rank 5 with the Cavia to engage in Deep Archimedea. Prepare yourself and be on the lookout for Red Text!

Hiho!

If you have F6 screenshots (sadly PC only) for these, could you send them to Support and tag me in your message?

I'll forward them to out level designers, so we can have a look at what's going on here.

Hmm, I thought we fixed this over a year ago. I couldn't get it to work with these steps, are you sure it's still a thing?

Hiho!

I've checked with the team and everything should be fine. Could you clear your cache and try again?

I love how everyone thinks that this is an April Fools Day prank.
