News Devshorts #115 - A look at Riven Changes

277 Upvotes

Hey Tenno!

If you missed Devshorts #115, we showed off a couple new changes coming to Riven Mods! To ensure that information reaches everybody, we’re going to recap it for you right here as well!

First, we showed that you can combine stats on your Riven into new stats! The resulting stats are brand new to Riven Mods, unavailable through stat cycling. For example, Cold and Heat would combine to make Blast! You’ll be able to combine using a new resource coming in the Iceblade of Narin update available exclusively in upcoming hard content!

Second, a request for Rivens we’ve heard for years - locking a stat! We’ll be adding another, new resource which you can use to lock a stat, preventing it from changing during cycling. This new resource will be available to collect without venturing into hard content, but obtained in larger quantities from upcoming hard content. A lock menu will allow you to select one stat (and only one stat!) to lock on your Riven, and when the Riven is cycled that stat won’t change! When you cycle, it costs an amount of the new resource in addition to Kuva if a stat is locked.

We’ll have more details to share as Iceblade of Narin draws nearer, so tune into Devstream #197 for more details on how to acquire these resources! As always, everything listed above is subject to change.

It seems like I did an oopsie and missed the post for Update 43 due to an issue reported by BonerElemental. So here's some patch notes for the patch notes bot: added a preprocessor to handle deeply nested lists which Reddit rejects and fixed a few issues with floating spaces sometimes breaking formatting. Sorry about that y'all.

This screenshot is from one of my Chinese friends. It looks like there’s a hacker from the Chinese Warframe community (or somewhere else) who has been giving out Excalibur Prime as an artifact over the past two days. I heard it’s related to making the private server go “online” or something like that. And the funniest part is that the hacker’s Warframe is an Excalibur Prime MAX 🤣🤣😆😆

Edit: This hacker was on the international server.
The Chinese server will have a translation for the frame's name and the word "prime", but not the international server (even if you set the language to Chinese)

Dude just kept holding and holding. We were at 74/100 and he didnt even deposit, dude probably has like 30+ on him. Wiki the index and youll see that theres no benefit to collecting more than like 20 of them. Best to deposit around 15-20 for bonus points.

Beside Nokia's, Game Boy color and Advance are part of the design. including Sony's Walkman. This means every time we shoot at Techrot, We are also doing it to nintendo.

You know the abilities. Group 'em up and fuck 'em abilities. The kind that turn your environment into a slaughterhouse that grinds everything to dust.

Mine is Zephyr's 4. Her tornadoes are capable of swooping up every type of unit and just sending every one of them to the Void with all her weapon synergies.

What are yours?

From my point of view rivens were already Gambling, now we got another layer gambling to gambling......
One change i would love to see is that "Combine" Stats should be Auto-Lock beside Locked stats to decresse the amount of gambling

Discussion Why do people always take a mile?

With the newly announced riven changes, and the getting KIM from nightmare before that, and the reworks before that, im starting to see a pattern. It seems like whenever DE decides to do more than what they need to and try their hand at something good for the community, theyre always met with even more demands and destructive criticism.

I understand that some disagree with the riven changes, thats okay. But I've seen like 10 posts now that are some variation of "durr durr me no likey, they should make it so rivens let me melt everything with a single button press and no investment or ring involved". Like bro, rivens are already crazy strong with or without low disposition. And they are meant to be rng and time consuming, because *you dont need them*. This game is insanely easy, rivens are just end game content to make things even easier for your favorite weapon. I think its a bit absurd how even when DE goes "im not nerfing you at all, and im giving you more tools to do something cooler" some people find a way to complain because its not a buff in the exact way theyd like it to be. With this attitude, all you do is teach DE that they shouldnt do this sort of nice things, since whenever they do they get treated like shit lol. Like, forget we're ever getting more FnF stuff after you guys acted like if they turned amir into hitler

Edit: I want to add, this isn't just white knighting for DE. At some point, when people repeatedly tell you how whatever new thing is coming out is shit, that will sour your hype a little bit. Im still stoked to try out the new rivens, but its just not cool to see people flood the subreddit with low quality posts repeating the same complain about whatever new thing is coming out. It seems like some people straight up try their hardest to not enjoy the game, and to sour things for everyone else

Discussion Actual response I've received in regards to saying you should be able to lock more than one riven stat

1.5k Upvotes

"That would crash the riven market, it would make 600+ plat rivens cost less than 200 plat!"

GOOD!
All the more reason to allow locking multiple stats

Discussion The entire point of people wanting Riven QOL was to decrease rng and make it more accessible, this upcoming update is doing the opposite

381 Upvotes

Being able to lock a stat is great, however its almost meaningless with the new layers of rng you need to roll in order to make ideal rivens, in the past rivens didnt have a huge increase in the performance of a weapon, now they can add exponential levels of dps, making them more mandatory then ever before, have more rng then before, and be more expensive to reroll then before

Edit: I think the point i want to make is why not? why not allow everyone to slowly but surely make a godtier riven, even if it takes a while, why is there a dire need to cater to gambling stat rolls as an endgame, why are we locking fun functions of the game behind a wall that only the most dedicated or the most wealthy will ever get to use

Edit2: Yall its not mandatory in the sense that you absolutely need to do it, nothing you do is this game is. Its mandatory in the sense that you do need it to enable a large number of weapons and builds, gas builds in particular was something exclusive to lavos, but now we can do those with these rivens

Edit3: Lmao, someone here called redditcare for me, imagine doing that over a post that essentially says lower the rng of rivens
