Profit taker is more annoying, but you can do multiple runs if it in the time it takes to do even a single phase of exploiter. And the match making actually works
Angels of Zariman has
- A complete focus tree rework
- Rework of operator mechanics, like jumping now looks like a charge and hold mechanic to determine how far you jump, and you seem to gain momentum from the jump. Operators can now melee to automatically switch into warframe for executions and QoL stuff like that. Removal of the added energy drain for certain tree perks, and some effects to abilities (I think operators have abilities like warframes now?)
- Social hub + player housing
- A skin system where new skins (I don't think old) can have materials picked for each color, leading to shiny metal bits etc.
- Three new game modes
- Eximus rework
- New zaw grip for 2h scythes (I'm never gonna get a sparring zaw) and a new stance that's sick.
- Zariman comes with syndicate and a series of weapons that evolve over the course of the mission? Also you can pick perks for them to get procs and stuff.
- I guess the augment changes are coming at some point.
Lots of other shit I'm probably forgetting because it was a lot. Release date is projected for April, which is later than I'd like, but for the amount of shit going on makes sense. People are worried about Zenurik and tbh I hope they finally rip the bandaid off.
yeah I'd prefer the energy system get a revamp than fixing one method with another "just use a consumeable"
I mean you can also just play Trinity and laugh behind infinite energy and massive healing/damage reduction as you just unload your guns into anything that moves.

In addition to Zenurik, my default loadout uses Arcane Energize, a pistol with Energizing Shot, a zaw with Exodia Brave, and an Energy Generator Dethcube. Even if Zenurik gets nerfed super hard, I'm pretty sure I'll be fine.
I main Harrow, who has one of the best energy regen abilities in the game. I helminth'd it off of him because I had so much energy regen already that I hardly ever used it.

That skin system change is worth everything, I am so happy. I am also however very afraid that your description of operator jumping is actually a rework of void dash which my entire existence revolves around. That would be so very crushing if it got the blink nerf.
EDIT: I'm not going to look it up, I'm going to live deep inside my happy place until the dev rework equivalent of a giant asteroid turns my enjoyment of the game into chicxulub crater
from what they showed of the new void dash, the movement still looks like it'll perform the same, but better.
of course, we wont know until we can feel it in play, but i'm not worried based on watching reb zip around the map of the new game mode.
Like instead of a binary 'you jump this far on input' it seems like the amount of distance you dash is now correlated to the amount of time you charged it. So it's a little slower to activate, in exchange for greater flexibility.
Also you seem to maintain momentum on leaving the dash, so it looks like you'll be able to slingshot your operator around (I wonder if this'll lead to flying operators - if you angle up, how high do you have to go to be able to recharge your jump energy enough to just maintain it indefinitely).
DE says there'll be a functionality in there for people that just want to BOOMPH BOOMPH BOOMPH rapidash.
Forums are as usual losing their fucking minds and suddenly everyone was always personally attached to how dashing works now and how dare you etc. etc.

Slower to activate feels like it invalidates what I use it for. Rapid dash, while rapid, probably won't have the same distance. Unless the power consumption is based on distance rather than activation cost, I have very little hope it's not actually a nerf. Oh well, back to my happy place.
maybe the slight delay to the dash casting will be offset by the immediacy of it being client-side now.
iunno, looking forward to testing it out. everything looks promising and i really like the idea of instant melee back into the warframe from the dash.
makes it feel more like the cool cut-scenes
So what ended up being the max level for Nightwave? I know I missed a bunch of ranks, but I think not so many that the real cap would have reached the theoretical maximum.
If it turns out that now Nightwave effectively has no hard cap where you can just reach it and be done until the next season, then that's kind of demoralizing. I prefer having reachable objectives over an extra potato or two.

A little too early to make any judgments. I remember people were acting in a similar way about the removal of coptering, how bullet jumping was an awful slower replacement, etc.

That's true, and it is too early to make any judgments, but I was never one of those people. My particular use of void dash is dependent on its distance and instantaneous use though. This seems like a change for the worse for my particular use case but the worlds not ending just yet.
The only cap is running out of unique rewards and just getting a pittance of credits for potatoes or whatever each level, yeah
The annoying thing is that there actually is a hard cap, which I managed to hit for every season except for the first one, where all of the challenges were miserable and unrecoverable. It looks like it's just unreachable this time around.
So Nora's Mix went live today and among the changes to Garuda and stuff there's the first round of augment changes
WARFRAME AUGMENT BUFFS
As mentioned in our last Devstream, we set out to buff a selection of Augments that were underused according to our statistics. Our goal is to bring these Augments up to speed, and align them with our more popular Augments. The buffs below are merely additions onto what already exists in the game. This won’t be our only batch, so expect to see more Augment changes in the future!
Ash: Smoke Shadow:
Before: Conceals allies within 15m for 8s.
New: Added +150% Critical Hit Chance buff while the player is in stealth.
Atlas: Titanic Rumbler
Before: Create a single rumbler with 300% health and 300% damage.
New: Rumbler now has 300% health and 400% damage, with 300% more range to hit multiple enemies with its melee attack.
Baruuk: Endless Lullaby
Before: Performing a finisher on a sleeping enemy would retrigger Lull for 100% of the remaining duration.
New: In addition to finishers, Lull’s refill duration now triggers when a sleeping enemy is directly killed (does not trigger on assists). Can now only be triggered once per 3 seconds.
Excalibur: Furious Javelin
Before: Each enemy hit would increase Excalibur’s Melee Damage by 10% for 16s
New: Melee damage is now increased to 15% at maximum Rank.
Excalibur: Surging Dash
Before: Each enemy hit during Slash Dash further increases your melee counter by 4.
New: Doubled Melee Combo gained from Surging Dash.
Gara: Mending Splinters
Before: For each target affected, Splinter Storm heals 3 Health per second.
New: Heal rate has been increased to 15 Health per second per target affected.
Garuda: Dread Ward
Before: Become unkillable for 5 seconds when Dread Mirror kills a target by ripping its life force.
New: The invulnerability duration has been increased to 8 seconds. Dread Ward also has new visual feedback when casted.
Harrow: Warding Thurible
Before: Allies in range take 40% less damage while channeling Thurible, and grant 0.5 additional energy charge whenever damaged.
New: Allies will now take 50% less damage, and are granted 1 Energy when damaged.
Harrow: Tribunal
Before: Other players will proc 50% of the effects of Penance and Thurible when attacking chained enemies.
New: Allies now proc 100% of the effects.
Chroma: Guided Effigy
Before: Cast and hold to make Effigy move to your aim point. Deals 2000 damage per second to enemies in its path and roars on arrival stunning nearby enemies.
New: Now deals double the damage and restores 5 Energy for each enemy in its path. Also improved the responsiveness of Effigy when turning/moving.
Hydroid: Corroding Barrage
Before: Each projectile has a 100% chance of inflicting a Corrosive status effect.
New: Tempest Barrage gains 100% Ability Strength.
Hydroid: Curative Undertow
Before: Allies can stand in the pool to regain 30% health every 1.5 seconds, increasing the energy drain on Hydroid per ally.
New: The energy drain to heal allies has been removed, and the Augment’s description has been updated to indicate that Hydroid will restore 10% Health (this was always an effect, it was just not indicated in the description).
Hydroid: Tidal Impunity
Before: Clears Status Effects and grants 12 seconds of Status Immunity for yourself and allies that come in contact with Tidal Surge.
New: Reduced Tidal Surge’s Energy cost from 25 to 15.
Inaros: Desiccation's Curse
Before: Killing a blinded enemy with a finisher has a 75% chance of summoning a Sand Shadow.
*New: Killing a blinded enemy with a finisher now has a 100% chance of summoning a Sand Shadow. Increased Sand Shadows damage by double.
Inaros: Elemental Sandstorm
Before: Sandstorm has a 50% chance of inflicting Status Effects based on the damage types and mods on equipped melee weapon.
New: Sandstorm now has a 100% chance of inflicting Status Effects. As well, Sandstorm receives a 50% increase to range.
Limbo: Rift Haven
Before: Allies banished to the rift will have 25% of their Maximum Health restored.
New: Allies banished to the rift will have 25% of their Maximum Health restored every second.
Some of these, like Ash, are cool. Others are just kind of 'sigh' - but that was inevitable given that they said they weren't touching the already existing mechanics. Harrow's augment buffs, for instance, are kind of whatever - Tribunal's 50% was already more than good enough. Hydroid's Corroding Barrage likely won't ever be good until Corrosive is reworked or it's changed to an armor strip. Elemental Sandstorm is still kind of bad because Sandstorm itself is bad and has a habit of throwing enemies out of your range, and actually can't pick up targets at a lower elevation than you which feels like a bug and has been in the game roughly forever.
Some people have weird takes, though. People saying Furious Javelin is bad, I don't understand.
Finally got my hands on Korrudo (while grinding stuff for Caliban). Good thing Breath of the Eidolon is a common drop (so spending 5 only set me back a single run).

Mending splinters and Furious Javelin are also pretty good.
Furious javelin was OK even before the change, it's just not used because I think people believe that it's additive damage. Like, adding 150% damage to your Primed Pressure point ain't much. But a +150% damage multiplier is pretty serious.

Furious Javelin is a separate damage Amp that doesn't count as a damage Amp for the purposes of Helminth. So you can use it with Roar or Eclipse and do some stupid levels of melee damage.
Dessication's Curse is probably my favorite of the buffed augments because I like making swarm builds.
The biggest problem with a lot of augments is that they're support-oriented, and trying to play support in warframe is like herding kavats. Players just don't group together enough to be worth it.
mending splinters is silly because you can get a solid 5 stacks at least and 75 hp a second is great with adaptation
And that's just baseline power strength. Throw an intensify on (which you're probably gonna do anyway to get that 90% reduction) and it gets even better.
Support Gara is legit but it can be frustrating to refresh it on your allies.

Tbh, juggling the bug is annoying enough that I don't even bother with self tanking gara most of the time. It really sucks to lose the buff you've been building for 10 minutes cause you were distracted for a few seconds

If you're just using it for damage resistance (and possibly healing) it doesn't really matter that much if you lose the stacked damage. Or never build it up at all in the first place.
gara reave is just gross and mending splinters doesn't get in the way

Since I was closing in on Helminth rank 15, I decided to go on an infusion spree. Glowing Instinct kinda sucks compared to even just loot radar farming methods. In spite of the description, it likes to get stuck on already-scanned fragments. While the "short-lived" part of the description is dismayingly accurate. But I've got some new builds to play around with, anyway:
Aquablade Ash - To see how his passive does with this ability
Gloom Banshee - For the crazy stun duration buff
Dispensary Frost - Because I hate Zenurik AND consumables but like making anthropomorphic ice sculptures
Spellbind Oberon - For the Midsommer Night's Dream connection, but also solid CC and support

Angels of Zariman has
- A complete focus tree rework
- Rework of operator mechanics, like jumping now looks like a charge and hold mechanic to determine how far you jump, and you seem to gain momentum from the jump. Operators can now melee to automatically switch into warframe for executions and QoL stuff like that. Removal of the added energy drain for certain tree perks, and some effects to abilities (I think operators have abilities like warframes now?)
- Social hub + player housing
- A skin system where new skins (I don't think old) can have materials picked for each color, leading to shiny metal bits etc.
- Three new game modes
- Eximus rework
- New zaw grip for 2h scythes (I'm never gonna get a sparring zaw) and a new stance that's sick.
- Zariman comes with syndicate and a series of weapons that evolve over the course of the mission? Also you can pick perks for them to get procs and stuff.
- I guess the augment changes are coming at some point.
Lots of other shit I'm probably forgetting because it was a lot. Release date is projected for April, which is later than I'd like, but for the amount of shit going on makes sense. People are worried about Zenurik and tbh I hope they finally rip the bandaid off.

I main Harrow, who has one of the best energy regen abilities in the game. I helminth'd it off of him because I had so much energy regen already that I hardly ever used it.
That skin system change is worth everything, I am so happy. I am also however very afraid that your description of operator jumping is actually a rework of void dash which my entire existence revolves around. That would be so very crushing if it got the blink nerf.

of course, we wont know until we can feel it in play, but i'm not worried based on watching reb zip around the map of the new game mode.
Also you seem to maintain momentum on leaving the dash, so it looks like you'll be able to slingshot your operator around (I wonder if this'll lead to flying operators - if you angle up, how high do you have to go to be able to recharge your jump energy enough to just maintain it indefinitely).
DE says there'll be a functionality in there for people that just want to BOOMPH BOOMPH BOOMPH rapidash.

Slower to activate feels like it invalidates what I use it for. Rapid dash, while rapid, probably won't have the same distance. Unless the power consumption is based on distance rather than activation cost, I have very little hope it's not actually a nerf. Oh well, back to my happy place.
iunno, looking forward to testing it out. everything looks promising and i really like the idea of instant melee back into the warframe from the dash.
makes it feel more like the cool cut-scenes
If it turns out that now Nightwave effectively has no hard cap where you can just reach it and be done until the next season, then that's kind of demoralizing. I prefer having reachable objectives over an extra potato or two.
Haven't played in, uh, 27 months?

A little too early to make any judgments. I remember people were acting in a similar way about the removal of coptering, how bullet jumping was an awful slower replacement, etc.

That's true, and it is too early to make any judgments, but I was never one of those people. My particular use of void dash is dependent on its distance and instantaneous use though. This seems like a change for the worse for my particular use case but the worlds not ending just yet.
The annoying thing is that there actually is a hard cap, which I managed to hit for every season except for the first one, where all of the challenges were miserable and unrecoverable. It looks like it's just unreachable this time around.
As mentioned in our last Devstream, we set out to buff a selection of Augments that were underused according to our statistics. Our goal is to bring these Augments up to speed, and align them with our more popular Augments. The buffs below are merely additions onto what already exists in the game. This won’t be our only batch, so expect to see more Augment changes in the future!
Ash: Smoke Shadow:
Before: Conceals allies within 15m for 8s.
New: Added +150% Critical Hit Chance buff while the player is in stealth.
Atlas: Titanic Rumbler
Before: Create a single rumbler with 300% health and 300% damage.
New: Rumbler now has 300% health and 400% damage, with 300% more range to hit multiple enemies with its melee attack.
Baruuk: Endless Lullaby
Before: Performing a finisher on a sleeping enemy would retrigger Lull for 100% of the remaining duration.
New: In addition to finishers, Lull’s refill duration now triggers when a sleeping enemy is directly killed (does not trigger on assists). Can now only be triggered once per 3 seconds.
Excalibur: Furious Javelin
Before: Each enemy hit would increase Excalibur’s Melee Damage by 10% for 16s
New: Melee damage is now increased to 15% at maximum Rank.
Excalibur: Surging Dash
Before: Each enemy hit during Slash Dash further increases your melee counter by 4.
New: Doubled Melee Combo gained from Surging Dash.

Before: For each target affected, Splinter Storm heals 3 Health per second.
New: Heal rate has been increased to 15 Health per second per target affected.
Garuda: Dread Ward

New: The invulnerability duration has been increased to 8 seconds. Dread Ward also has new visual feedback when casted.
Harrow: Warding Thurible
Before: Allies in range take 40% less damage while channeling Thurible, and grant 0.5 additional energy charge whenever damaged.
New: Allies will now take 50% less damage, and are granted 1 Energy when damaged.
Harrow: Tribunal
Before: Other players will proc 50% of the effects of Penance and Thurible when attacking chained enemies.
New: Allies now proc 100% of the effects.
Chroma: Guided Effigy
Before: Cast and hold to make Effigy move to your aim point. Deals 2000 damage per second to enemies in its path and roars on arrival stunning nearby enemies.
New: Now deals double the damage and restores 5 Energy for each enemy in its path. Also improved the responsiveness of Effigy when turning/moving.
Hydroid: Corroding Barrage
Before: Each projectile has a 100% chance of inflicting a Corrosive status effect.
New: Tempest Barrage gains 100% Ability Strength.
Hydroid: Curative Undertow
Before: Allies can stand in the pool to regain 30% health every 1.5 seconds, increasing the energy drain on Hydroid per ally.
New: The energy drain to heal allies has been removed, and the Augment’s description has been updated to indicate that Hydroid will restore 10% Health (this was always an effect, it was just not indicated in the description).
Hydroid: Tidal Impunity
Before: Clears Status Effects and grants 12 seconds of Status Immunity for yourself and allies that come in contact with Tidal Surge.
New: Reduced Tidal Surge’s Energy cost from 25 to 15.
Inaros: Desiccation's Curse

*New: Killing a blinded enemy with a finisher now has a 100% chance of summoning a Sand Shadow. Increased Sand Shadows damage by double.
Inaros: Elemental Sandstorm
Before: Sandstorm has a 50% chance of inflicting Status Effects based on the damage types and mods on equipped melee weapon.
New: Sandstorm now has a 100% chance of inflicting Status Effects. As well, Sandstorm receives a 50% increase to range.
Limbo: Rift Haven
Before: Allies banished to the rift will have 25% of their Maximum Health restored.
New: Allies banished to the rift will have 25% of their Maximum Health restored every second.
Some of these, like Ash, are cool. Others are just kind of 'sigh' - but that was inevitable given that they said they weren't touching the already existing mechanics. Harrow's augment buffs, for instance, are kind of whatever - Tribunal's 50% was already more than good enough. Hydroid's Corroding Barrage likely won't ever be good until Corrosive is reworked or it's changed to an armor strip. Elemental Sandstorm is still kind of bad because Sandstorm itself is bad and has a habit of throwing enemies out of your range, and actually can't pick up targets at a lower elevation than you which feels like a bug and has been in the game roughly forever.
Some people have weird takes, though. People saying Furious Javelin is bad, I don't understand.

The only one that I might consider using from that list is ash's
Mending splinters and Furious Javelin are also pretty good.
Furious javelin was OK even before the change, it's just not used because I think people believe that it's additive damage. Like, adding 150% damage to your Primed Pressure point ain't much. But a +150% damage multiplier is pretty serious.

The biggest problem with a lot of augments is that they're support-oriented, and trying to play support in warframe is like herding kavats. Players just don't group together enough to be worth it.
And that's just baseline power strength. Throw an intensify on (which you're probably gonna do anyway to get that 90% reduction) and it gets even better.
Support Gara is legit but it can be frustrating to refresh it on your allies.

Tbh, juggling the bug is annoying enough that I don't even bother with self tanking gara most of the time. It really sucks to lose the buff you've been building for 10 minutes cause you were distracted for a few seconds
If you're just using it for damage resistance (and possibly healing) it doesn't really matter that much if you lose the stacked damage. Or never build it up at all in the first place.
gara reave is just gross and mending splinters doesn't get in the way
Aquablade Ash - To see how his passive does with this ability
Gloom Banshee - For the crazy stun duration buff
Dispensary Frost - Because I hate Zenurik AND consumables but like making anthropomorphic ice sculptures
Spellbind Oberon - For the Midsommer Night's Dream connection, but also solid CC and support
