[@rock8650]

The first thing that came to my mind was to just set a fixed self damage number to avoid one shotting yourself even with the 99% damage reduction

[@TriburosOnline]

Same here, but then I remembered that frames have wildly different hp ranges. Ideally, I think it'd be fine if a blast - if you're unlucky to eat it point blank - took off 1/4th of your max HP. So maybe make it percentage based and just have it eat 25% max HP at point blank, and have that value decrease as the blast gets further away from you.

[@DragonKnightJin]

Like the old Tonkor had? Which they then removed, because people were *gasp* HAVING FUN with it!?

[@TheReaverOfDarkness]

It should just have an internal scaling system independent of most of the damage modifiers. It should still have a fixed amount of damage applied, but the scaling should be much more minor. Say if it deals 10% of base damage, no status, a fifth of the crit multiplier above 1 (so 3x becomes 1.4x), all damage mods scale the total damage completely additively (as opposed to base damage and elemental damage multiplying, for example), and then all non-generic mods are just entirely ignored. Something like that. And as long as players can move freely through other players, then player shots should move freely through other players.

[@cothrone3651]

Idea to fix self damage Self damage cannot exceed 15% of max health or shield for damage per hit. Explosives wont be “op”, Chromas can keep their bs, and the weapon wont send you to space after one simple mistake Or you could just remove the mechanic overall, that would be equally effective

[@Neion8]

Or better yet, just make self-damage universal for all explosive weapons *Including for the AI* ;P But for real though, there are a few builds that rely on self-damage (e.g. using Mirage for eidolon hunting by setting herself on fire to provide her own light) without which, you'd have even more of a set meta without room for creativity. The 15% health gate is a good idea though - or just shield gating for all warframes in general *cough cough* - and making it so your bullets pass through fellow players would just be a passive convenience buff all around that would do more good than harm.

[@VertietRyper]

Fixed self damage based on 50% of the projectile damage (not the explosive damage)

[@prateekkarn9277]

I just need a lenz vandal man. With double ammo capacity double radius, pulls in mobs into an implosion and much, much more suicide capabilities. Honestly lenz is the safest explosive weapon. Because even when your teammates hit the projectile, it only procs cold status and maybe hunter munitions, but enemy or ground and it gives you a lot of time to switch to operator and direct all damage into the void (operator crouch). But as a explosives lover I agree with you. Its really irritating when a teammate walks into my zarr projectile and kills me.

A quick advertisement of Napam Grenades and Adhesive Blast combination. Works magic on Penta. Damage boost of Napam Grenades with Penta's unmodded functionality thanks to Adhesive Blast. Frankly, Adhesive Blast is a much better safeguard on most launchers thanks to a Lenz-like fuse mechanic. Adhesive Zarr with Mirage is something to behold~

[@TriburosOnline]

My issue with that is that you're still taking up a mod-slot for Adhesive Blast, just to make a weapon usable. And just like Cautious Shot, you can't use it on every explosive launcher either, like the Kulstar or Angstrum. Unless those have a variant that I'm unaware of, you're kinda outta luck with those exceptions Cautious Shot is way worse though given the investment it wants, and atleast Adhesive Blast doesn't slap you with a penalty on top of eating a slot

[@prateekkarn9277]

Why do you need adhesive blast napalm grenade just insta explodes on contact. So does zarr. Idk why you'd use adhesive blast on explode on contact weapons.

@@prateekkarn9277 I think the idea is that Adhesive Blast causes your projectiles to have a sort of 'fuse' on them. So if you accidentally shoot too close to you, you can just roll away or Transference

Now that self damage is gone, I wonder, what if DE made a mod that enabled self-damage, it be could be an exilus mod and pretty much serve the opposite purpose of cautious shot. The reasons to why I would propose such a concept: -incase you wanted to use self-damage in some way for a skit -if you wanted to try to use self-damage for your advantage via abilities (ex. Chroma’s vex armor or Rhino’s iron skin) But to be fair that could be extremely overpowered so perhaps only self damage for thing like concealed explosives due to blatantly advertising self damage and only scaling off of smite mods, meaning relatively low damage.

New idea Step 1: Remove self damage from all weapons with some exceptions to the ones that advertise it (Lenz, Concealed explosives, ext) Step 2: Change Cautious Shot to ADD damage and self damage with (maybe 10% extra damage at the cost of 1% self damage per rank.) Step 3: enable more weapons with AOE potential to add this damage (Angstrum Javlok, Torid.) to use the new Cautious Shot. This is kinda what I just came up with. I personally enjoy self damage because I can use it to proc fire on ember/mirage and because I like the idea of keeping myself positioned to not blow myself up. so making a mod that enables more damage at the cost of blowing yourself up and It will allow Chroma. Embers. Equinoxes, Mirages, Revenants, ext) who want to use self damage to their own ends by picking how powerful the self damage will be. As Ember I can only use the Scourge or the Penta with the nightwave augment to proc heat on myself and while I love both weapons, I would like it if I could use some of the other weapons to proc a low damage fire and still work as weapons This is my general idea but I hope it helps, Thank you for reading my comment.

[@TheAbyssoftheMind]

As someone who honestly likes self-damage, yes, I 100% agree. I feel that the current self-damage system is more fun than no self damage at all, BUT I do NOT feel the implementation is honestly good: It's just better than nothing. If I were to fix it, I'd cause the self-damage weapons to do % damage against your health+shields, but let it respect armor. For most weapons, this will be between 20 and 50%: multiple mess-ups could kill you, but a single one shouldn't unless you're already quite hurt. Even the Lenz for this (with being extremely good and having a basic safety feature) I'd only make it about 75%: it's likely to kill you but not guaranteed. The issue is that it's not really a mass solution: each weapon requires custom attention and testing, and the ideal solution would be one that can be mass-applied to all launcher weapons with ease.

[@TheAbyssoftheMind]

As for Cautious Shot... as far as I'm concerned, either take it out entirely or change it to something entirely different. A health gating effect? Immunity to self-damage procs? Heck, forget the self-damage entirely: make it a rifle mod, increase armor when scoped.

[@personanonmaga5178]

Cautious Shot shouldn't be at 100% self damage resist. I mean the mod would STILL be useless unless it's at max rank. rather have it give your weapon a damage cap on self damage. can still be at 9% per rank but have it scale in reverse from 99% so unranked, your weapon self damage will be capped at 99% of your max health, and at max rank the cap would be 9% so no matter how powerful the weapon you'd be able to tank up to 11 instances of self damage

[@Wofulrumble4893]

'This Aged poorly' Nah it aged as well as it could, especially since many of the problems came AFTER the Self-Damage removal.

Even if they kept it in, lmao good luck dealing with some of the enemies that can now sprint towards you in the time in takes for you to fire. If they were to add in Self Damage again, just make it so that each shot deals a % of your max health, so that using it is a proper risk while giving a reward.

I think there is a fairly easy fix to that. There are the +explosion mods. If they remove innate self damage on weapons.

[@raeus571]

DE nigga: add self damage Dev: ok. DE nigga: and make it the shittiest self damage mechanic in the whole universe Dev: what? DE nigga: you dare oppose me mortal?

[@praetorian4922]

And now the game is plagued by AOE and explosive weapons because they removed self damage. Thanks DE.

2018 staticor was definitely game breaking, no reason to use anything but it until it’s ‘fix/nerf’

[@TriburosOnline]

Personally I think it more depends on perspective and time. People were saying that the Tonkor back in like - man like 2016...? - was broken, since it did almost no self damage and had really good crit stats and base damage. But looking back on it, I think it was a combination of the community hivemind that generated that mindset, but also the game being in a different point in time. Back when weapons held more of a candle to frame powers in regards to clearing groups (weapons are still better at handling heavies though), and back when power creeped weapons like the Gram Prime didn't exist. Nowadays, I think most would agree that the old Tonkor would be completely fine, and I look back on it being a perfect example of how all explosive launchers should work. Our meta is vastly different than it was all those years ago; Wide range, long distance DPS is now mostly handled by frames rather than weapons unless you're a frame that relies on buffing said weaponry like Chroma or Mirage. So a weapon like old-Tonkor I feel would be fine. But regarding the Staicor, even back in 2018, I didn't see the Staticor as dominating as the old metas like Mirage / Simulor or Telos Boltace if you remember that dark period.

coming here after looking at the DEVSTREAM of yesterday.... this is a day for the annals.

This is why I Yeeted my zarr into the void

[@Xomsabre]

I'm okay with self-damage because I strongly dislike reliance on weapons like the Tonkor that many noobs have used as a crutch. On the topic of the Zenistar... it was broken at one point. It used to do stealth damage... imagine playing Loki in defense, dropping the heat disc on the pod, and going invisible... was actually a thing my friend did to power level in Infested defense... worked great. Was totally broken. My solution to the "self-damage" problem would be health gating. If I were the guy making these decisions at DE, I'd make it so any damage (self or otherwise) coming in at you from 50%+ HP would drop you to 1 HP. It wouldn't make any functional difference, since you'd likely get shot immediately afterwards, but hey, not my problem.... just grow a pair and stop playing the game on crutches.

[@thetruffleshuffle21]

and here we are today with shit like the bubonico clearing out levels with no risk...really wish self damage came back

Just put a 25% Max health self damage limit so you don't One-shot yourself and know when to be more careful Also, hek lips...and I did it on my phone xd

[@GODZofMC]

Great video, rationally and intelligently addressed all the problems with self damage. Hope DE sees this and thinks a little harder about the mechanic.
