I think I needed a stock, but I'd have to log on and check my inventory. Shoot me a friend request next time you're online, I'm [REDACTED - PM me for info] over there, too. Maybe we can meet up, swap, and run a couple missions.
Drifter without Void powers was a mixed bag for me. It would have been nice if they'd told us the smoke bomb could obscure the Deacons' line of sight. It took me more attempts than I care to admit to get through Nu-Fortuna because of that - my dumb ass figured "They're special enemies, they'll be able to see through it". Other than that, I liked his power set. It was a nice change from stumbling around as the kid.
They definitely did our boy Teshin dirty. I may not have liked him, but he didn't deserve to go out like a bitch. Plus, now who the hell is Varzia going to lust over with him gone?
I figure they're probably weighing the options on how many man-hours it's going to take to re-rig all of the Kiddo outfits to fit Drifter versus the community outcry if they either 1) don't do it or 2) try to make us re-buy all of it. You know the shit's going to hit the fan if they don't do it, but it's really going to hit the fan if they try to make us do a re-buy or split Tennogen accessories off so they're either for one or the other, but not both.
I really want that grapple glaive mechanic for our existing frames. It would open up so many more movement options it wouldn't even be funny. I hate to admit it, but it took me longer than it should have to figure out how to match Teshin's energy abilities against the attacking Sentient. I figured we'd have to go round robin and switch out like we do with the Frames, rather than just playing "match the colors". While I found the character of Kahl the most intriguing, I wasn't really that engrossed by his gameplay - it felt a bit more Gears of War than Warframe, and we've all played that before. Veso-R had an interesting gimmick, but it would have been nice to have had more combat with his pets than what we were able to mix up. I'd like to see them do more multi-faction stuff in the future. I think it'd be a nice change from the usual frantic "mow down the horde and leap through the level" gameplay.
The Drifter taking fall damage really threw me off the first time it happened on the Earth level, because I damn near died from it. I ended up spending the next couple minutes hiding behind something and dropping stimpacks until my health was back up to snuff. It wasn't a problem for me after that barring a couple of glitches - in two separate instances I was trying to jump up on something, he got stuck in mid-air, hung there for a couple seconds like it couldn't figure out what animation to process, and then I took fatal fall damage and he'd ragdoll. It would have been pretty funny if I hadn't been so annoyed.
I've heard that about the Tennogen stuff, so maybe there's nothing to worry about there. I know the saying is that the endgame is FashionFrame but I generally don't go in for Tennogen on Operator accessories since you're not going to be seeing them 95% of the time - any suits I have for the kiddo have been bonuses in the packs, so I look at them as nifty freebies more than "I want that look".
As far as more Drifter sans powers goes, I could see them doing more with him if they go into flashback missions for what happened with him prior to the convergence at New War, but as far as content going forward goes I foresee them keeping him powered up.
