Shrine of the Eidolon: Update 22.12.0
YUP, another Mainline! We have some things that were not meant to be released like text optimizations, so if you see anything funny, it fell through the cracks. This is our longest set of Update notes today (largely because of the weapon changes), but there’s still lots of great details for you to find in these notes. Please post all bugs and feedback in proper forums!
DRIVE THE DARGYN
Take your fight to the skies by hijacking unmanned Dargyns in the Plains. If you get caught, it’s a footrace against the pilot to board the Dargyn! Use these to aid in your search for the new Eidolons!
THE GANTULYST AND THE HYDROLYST
“The Sentient was a deformed creature, sent from some dark fold of distant space, crushing towers and citadels across Earth…”
Until meeting its fate in a climactic battle.
“The device detonated. The Sentient’s body shuddered, wracked by a cacophonous energy. Fragments of the Sentient crashed to the Plains and marshes and flatlands…”
These fragments are known as the Eidolons — mysterious titans that continue to wander the Plains and loom over the people of Cetus.
Most of you have seen the Teralyst, a beast that rises from the watery depths every night. Legends speak of two more Eidolons that fell to the Plains, dormant for centuries but ever-present in the hearts and minds of the Ostrons.
Eidolon Hunters eager to prove their worth are trying to summon these creatures again. Are you worthy, Tenno?
GANTULYST
Legends say the Gantulyst wields an enormous boulder for an arm and radiates powerful beams of Sentient energy. The Ostrons built a shrine in its honor hoping to gain its favor.
HYDROLYST
The Ostrons believe the Hydrolyst is an omen of impending natural disaster. Stories describe a distinct, pungent aroma that precedes the arrival of this toxic beast.
TERALYST MATCHMAKING BOUNTY
You now have options to matchmake for Eidolon Hunts!
Worth Noting: Remaining in the Plains for the entire Day Cycle effectively allows you to hunt the Eidolons across multiple nights. If your team kills all 3 Eidolons in one night, or across several, then the Teralyst will respawn and you can start the hunt again. TLDR players can hunt Eidolons across multiple nights without losing progress as long as they stay within their current session. Going back to Cetus resets it.
RIVEN TRANSMUTATION
If you’re worthy, you’ll receive a guaranteed Riven Transmuter from the Hydrolyst (if captured). These consumable items can Transmute four Riven Mods into a brand-new Riven. Combining four Rivens of the same type (i.e Rifle, Melee, Shotgun, etc.) will result in a transmuted Riven of that type.
Additions:
- Added a completely new flow for Companion Incubator Management. Pets can no longer die! The base Incubator now behaves exactly as the Nutrio Incubator does with auto-stasis, and those with the Nutrio Incubator receive a significant discount on future DNA Stabilizer costs (from 75,000 to 5,000)!
- Added categories to Hoks store for different Zaw parts and Arcanes. His Crafting screen can now also preview Gilded stats and appearance.
- You can now buy up to 10 Loadout Slots! The previous limit was 5.
- Added a new subcategory in the Market Weapons tab for Archwings.
- Added a teleport trigger to warp slow squadmates outside of the loading hallway and out into the Plains. This is to catch followers who were far enough away to warp to the player, past the blocking volume already set up in front of the gate.
- You can now see your customized Operator in Diorama previews when purchasing items.
- Added toggle between Gilded and non-Gilded for crafted weapons.
- Operator Arcanes are now listed in the Arcane section of the Codex.
Sound Additions:
- Volume adjustments and balancing for all weapons. (Turned up quiet weapons and turned down loud weapons)
- Added a new audio layer to older weapons to make them sound more impactful.
- Added and improved exterior gun tail sounds for all weapons.
- Added unique ‘low ammo in clip’ sounds for all weapons.
- Added new sound to the Kohm reload.
- Updates and sound additions to one handed secondaries when using Glaive type weapons.
Warframe Changes:
Each Warframe’s stats and ability kits combine into a unique entity that offers different strengths and weaknesses. With 34 Warframes to choose from (and the 35th on the way), a Tenno may find there is no challenge they cannot overcome by making good use of the swiss army knife that their Arsenal offers. Some well-rounded frames do multiple things well, while others greatly excel in specific circumstances.
When reviewing the Arsenal over time, our developers often find themselves asking: ‘is this fun?’. That’s the most important question to us, from the perspective of both the active player and their three squadmates. We understand the importance of power fantasy, but overbearing abilities can make squadmates feel ineffective by seriously disrupting intended gameplay flow. Conversely, when a Warframe doesn’t do enough, players may simply choose a “better” frame, sacrificing personalization and diversity for efficiency. Neither of these situations are ideal, so let’s shake things up!
PLEASE NOTE: for the next 7 days you are eligible for free items!
- Login within 7 days of the update for an inbox message containing 3 x Forma, a 3 Day Affinity booster, and an Exilus Mod Adaptor!
- Console players will receive the same inbox message by logging in when they get the build with aforementioned changes.
- AFTER Friday’s Devstream (February 9th), ALL platforms will get BONUS Gift from the Lotus alerts this weekend with Orokin Reactors!
If you’ve read the Dev Workshop, a lot of this will look familiar, but there are some minor changes! Our intent remains the same. We relist important information here because our Update notes are much more widely read than Dev Workshops.
We believe these changes make our wide Warframe roster more diverse and fun to play. We will be listening to your responses, so please keep feedback respectful and constructive.
Warframe Weapon Changes
We are revisiting all weapons and adjusting their stats to fit into some Mastery Rank grouping guidelines based on DPS and Crit/Status split total. With this in mind, we are buffing a lot of the weapons you know and love!
Again, a lot of this is as shown in the Dev Workshop, but our Update Notes are more widely read.
Arcane Changes:
We have made stat improvements to the following Arcanes, indicating base changes. Just multiply by 4 for quick maths of Max Rank values:
The Index Changes:
Co-op games and the Index, not always a recipe for success. Often times your time spent in the Index is at the liberty of your squad mates. We have added individual extraction to The Index! When players reach their wager target, if they’re winning, the game will pause and bring up the defense reward screen. Players will have the option of extracting or continuing.
If players continue, they earn the credits reward, and the wager target is reset so that they have the opportunity to reach it again for more rewards. If players extract, the game ends and they collect all the rewards they managed to earn. The initial investment fee is only taken away once, regardless of the number of times the reward was earned. If time runs out and players are losing, they forfeit all rewards.
- Required points per tier are now 50/75/100.
- Increased the required Index points from 25/50/100 to 50/100/200
- Enemy levels scale half as fast.
- Changed the investment costs from 45k/60k/75k to 30k/40k/50k, and changed the credit returns from 120k/195k/275k to 105k/175k/250k. The amount of profit for each tier remains the same at 75k/135k/200k.
- Changed the rewards to give the total credit return and take away invested credits, instead of combining them into the net profit.
Teralyst Changes:
- Increased Teralyst base level to 50.
- Reduced base Armor and reduced base Health of Synovia weak points a bit.
- Reduced damage of Teralyst abilities to reflect increased level.
Somachord Changes:
- Volume slider changed to a horizontal slider.
- Added loop toggle:
- None: Stop playing songs once the current one ends
- Loop: Existing behavior
- Loop 1: Repeat the current song after it ends
- Inverted the Shuffle state to be bright when it’s enabled, and dark when disabled.
Changes
- Resource Drop Chance Boosters now affect Mining and Fishing, doubling the chance to get gems and the base number of fish spawns! (Previously only regular Resource Boosters affected the Plains)
- Prime Vault Bounty Relics in Stage 1 have been moved to be rewarded in Stage 2 and weighted accordingly amongst the other Stages. It’s worth noting that Bounty Stage 5 now yields the highest chance of getting a Vaulted Relic. Our intentions here are to alleviate players abandoning the Bounty after the first Stage.
- Resource Theft Incursion and Bounty stage (aka Armored Vault) in Plains now lasts only 2 minutes (was 3 minutes).
- Increased amount of Lures allowed at once from 6 to 8. Lures that have not been hacked to Tenno faction now get destroyed when their camp is deactivated, freeing up room for a new Lure to spawn when players enter other camps.
- Replaced Relics rewarded from Ghouls with Prime Vault Relics (Lith G2 & Neo E1 replaced Lith T1 & Neo S7).
- Focus Passives now apply immediately upon loading into a mission rather than requiring the brief Operator transition.
- Operators can now interact with Pets on your Orbiter!
- Reduced the delay between using a Gear item and spawning Archwing in the Plains.
- Zaws and Operator Amps now have a stat in your Profile.
- Mastery Rank eligible weapons now appear first with locked weapons appearing below when viewing weapons in the Market and Arsenal.
- Pressing and holding the fire button on an automatic weapon during a dodge roll will now begin firing once the dodge roll is complete. It’s now consistent with pressing and holding the fire button before doing the dodge roll.
- Interrupting an automatic weapon with quick melee will no longer require the player to press the trigger again; the weapon will now resume firing once the melee attack is done.
- Updated the Dojo Research completion icon.
- Tweaked Dojo Tenno Lab glass to fix bloom issues when using custom Dojo colors.
- Warframes in the Tenno Lab will now spin instead of standing still – so fancy!
- Improved the coordination of rain and stormy skies in the Plains to fix rain appearing during a clear blue sky.
- Reduced head bounce movement in Chroma’s sprint turns.
- Forma/Forma Bundle prices in the Arsenal Upgrade screen will now display the discounted price if there’s an active sale.
- Relay Chat tab now goes to the right of the squad tab.
- Eidolon Vomvalyst Lures now have a new distinctive mesh!
- Updated mastered icons in Inventory, they are now using the teal version rather than plain white.
- Mastered icons now also appear on Blueprints in the Inventory for items that have been mastered.
- Updated Grineer Settlement icon when used in the World State Window (old one was just a distant screencap of Phobos).
- Lowered and reduced marker range for small elevators in Grineer Asteroid tiles.
- Purchasing a Slot or Orokin Catalyst in the Upgrade screen will now auto equip/install. This reduces the amount of prompts you have to go through to equip/install said items.
- Harrow’s emissives will now always be on so you don’t need Penance active to see Energy Colors.
