Devstream 170 Notes
This was a great stream, fun and full of antics, I recommend watching it for yourself. Regardless, here are my highlights :) Duviri spoilers will be under the cut.
Rebb's outfit… I say this every time, but god DAMN, fashion QUEEN
DUVIRI:
I'm glad the team is happy with it!! I loved the quest, and they should be proud of it :)
The devs waiting until they see the stats to make a call on the duviri paradox as a new player start is the right choice.
Is it just me, or is there some lack of alignment between Pablo and Rebb as far as game direction that wasn't there before? It could just be Rebb's mania from sleep deprivation. EDIT: expanded on later, as Pablo stabbed Rebb in the back by not responding to her slacks liking Leon Kennedy
As usual with my boy Pablo, everything he has said about decrees is on point. I'm glad he has acknowledged the progression curve on drifter with decrees is a bit nuts but still respecting how fun the power fantasy is. He's very aware of the delicate balance, and he is a good steward. I didn't know we'll likely be getting more decrees in the future, and I look forward to seeing them!!
So many of the fuckos on r/Warframe have been saying DE doesn't play or test on Steel Path, so Rebb talking about how she and Pablo did a run on Steel Path and how they recommend approaching it was VALIDATING
Dax-inspired Warframe??? 👀👀👀
Defense objectives in the Undercroft might be revisited later.
Rebb originally wanted 10 emotions. Oh my god I want to know what they were
Discussing Calm as a potential free roam mode… I would love this for me personally, because I love exploring and resource gathering.
Confirmation that sol/terra/luna is voiced by a guinea pig, the cutest that Chris on the sound team could find.
Kullervo: new Warframe
fuckinf. DAGGERS. a pincushion boy. He's so pretty and shiny He's got a voidy syandana:
my clanmate contributes "Kullorbo from my Warframes"
Gardening: We are now on Gardening Plan v 4, smaller than previous ambitions. Rebb regrets getting community expectations so high, and they simply have to acknowledge the limitations of the team size. No Dormiview Valley for us.
Gauss Deluxe: "Space Hermes meets Mecha"
His head goes UP
Acceltra concept, which… doesn't look like the acceltra at all lol
Gauss Deluxe Kaithe skin looks sick as all hell:
Tennocon 2023: Buy a digital pack to tennocon to receive… X-shaped (for Tenth Anniversary) Syandana, which I think is terrible and will clip into everything
Gorgeous rapier skin
A smattering of other customizations showed too quickly for me to take notes on.
Q&A I had to type all this v fast so it's paraphrased Q: More bosses? Pablo: We have plans for one more miniboss Q:Does it make a difference which name you choose for Sol/terra/luna? Rebb: it's a flavour choice Q: Crafting or housing in Duviri? Pablo: We looked at making the dormizone a third base (after orbiter/drifters camp). It's complicated. We are going to look at stats for drifters camp first. Kary: We would need a very good reason to rebuild all those machines
Rebb is very happy that Duviri is out, and will be even happier when the bugs are fixed, which the team is fully committed to doing. And then there was a round of shoutouts to the great voice actors in this update. And a joke about Rebb getting food poisoning while recording a steel path test run. Watch out for raw eggs.
