I like the new UI, not sure what nenjin is on about. Mods interface is messy, but everything else is fine to me. Also, they threw Loki out of the starter selection, so now if you start you get Excalibur, volt, or mag.

BOOOOOO!!! Loki was my starter and I loved him. Really good for solo play which I was pretty much exclusively. He's actually the only one who is actually sortof a ninja.

It's probably a better mix though although I still hate mag regardless.

You forgot Ash if you're looking for ninjaframes.

[The Darkling Wolf]

Pff, Mag masterrace. You go play over in the dirt, I'll be here on hour three of survival exploding rooms full of enemies.

[Retropunch]

True!

[Aklyon]

Mag was indeed kinda nice when I played with it during the prologue. But I don't remember where you get mag, I'd need a new warframe slot to actually have it anyway, and Excalibur works for me most of the time.

Warframe originally had this cool, bio-organic look to a lot of the game, including the UI. Each iteration has gotten successively more pedestrian, until we've come to flat white boxes.

The new system map is atrocious. Sure, it's accessible, but DE still doesn't understand what information people want presented. (For example, why is it so hard to add an icon for each mission type so we don't have to mouse over every single planet to find the kind of mission we're interested in.)

[Aklyon]

Well, I don't have an argument there on the map, that would be nice. But for someone who has no idea what this old UI looked like (just the current diegetic spaceship one and the previous ninja-in-space with menus one), this one is more interesting to look at.

Haven't played in a while, but, uh, is Galatine still complete crap, or did they give it a buff since the melee 2.0 update?

Galatine was never crap, unless you were doing the normal swing.

It was the single highest charge swing damage in the game prior to Melee 2.0. With maxed out charge speed and charge damage mods mods, a fully charged Galatine swing would drop Lvl 40 guys on Tier 3 Void Defense in one hit. It was eventually the only thing that even had a prayer of killing Heavies and Ancients at that level.

Now that Charge Swinging is completely gone in Melee 2.0, I don't know what its damage scale looks like.

[The Darkling Wolf]

Pretty sure it's basically useless now, it's been booted off it's pedestal of flavour of the month, not sure what people are using now.

[Aklyon]

I like the Dual Ether, but thats just me. Its probably not anywhere near the superawesome somethingorother darkling wolf is describing.

[The Darkling Wolf]

I just stick with the dual Zoren. Between Spazjumping and Zorencoptering I can cross most tiles in about a second.

[Seriyu]

dual ichors are actually better for that now, if you can bother to get the research goin for em. Nami Skyla might also be great for coptering?

Also yeah, galatine is... in a wierd place. On one hand it gets a special stance (I think?), that results in pretty big AoE, but it's damage is greatly reduced. melee 2.0 slapped around a lot of heavy weapons pretty badly. Faster weapons are now vastly better however. The dragon nikana/dakra prime are both solid candidates for "best melee weapon" these days. dragon nikana flinches every hit, which has obvious uses, and dakra is just pure dps.

I will also say what old UI's looked like did not strike me as "bio organic" in the slightest.

It actually struck me as "it took me fifteen minutes and a consultation by a person that played the game to figure out how to equip a weapon" in the first iteration. Second, and longest lived, iteration was actually pretty nice and a good situation to be in, which if this is what you're referring to, I totally agree. And I believe this is the third iteration, which basically seems to be the same thing but with less fancy and more boxes.

So I guess what I'm saying is if nenjin came in with the second iteration (I forget precisely when it went up, Sometime between update like... 9 - 11, I suppose I can agree.

The space map is totally shit right now though, I can agree with that. Ring of words! What mission is what? Where's the first mission? What are the types? Levels? Mouse over for all this!

I came in after a long hiatus to that and it was genuinely kind've hard to see what was what. That may be more the small type, to be fair, but that shouldn't be happening either.

[nenjin]

Yeah I guess it would be second iteration. I think I started about 6 months or so after release. But since I started, this is the 3rd UI I've seen, so that makes at least 4 UI makeovers.

And maybe bioorganic wasn't the right description. It just seemed less new age tech. Warframe had a very alien vibe to me when I first started, but it's been getting less and less so as time has gone on.
