Everyone is going to hate seeing the new Q warframe in defense missions.
Really good devstream! December 7th is sooner than I expected the update to come. Finally a use for all those blue Archon Shards I have laying around! Same for the Arcane Disso-thingy, anyone who does Steel Path on the regular has piles of useless arcanes gathering dust. Melee buffs are pretty necessary, Glaive Prime fills the melee slot in every single one of my loadouts just because it’s the only melee that can compete with my guns. Qorvex’s kit feels strange? It feels somewhat redundant to have both his pillars and his 2 to apply radiation with just to capitalize on his 4, especially if his passive also gives your weapons guaranteed rad procs as well. Hope there is a bit more synergy there by the time he releases. He does look really cool at least!
Out of curiosity, where did you catch the December 7th date?
IIRC they said the release date of Whispers would be announced at the Game Awards.
I rewatched the early parts of the VOD and you’re right, I must have gotten confused and mixed up the announcement date at Game Awards for the release date somehow. I blame Friday evening post work brain for that one.
Oh I totally get the post work brain thing
To be fair, at the Game Awards they might pull another “It’s releasing… RIGHT NOW”
mmm delicious umbra forma. Now to actually build something that’s worth them.
Quorvix’s subsume seems like it might just be a better version of nyxs chaos if it has sufficient range.
