Drifter Abilities (New War Spoiler)

[Jawnjay]

Why can't we keep their abilities to differentiate themselves from Operator? Id love to have a choice between one game style and another instead of just height and roll difference.

i thought the drifter was going to get Dax's moveset.

you can switch between drifter and operator in the transference room.

...yes i know i missread the op post, everyone can make mistakes now and then.
so put the black book of bad words away pls.

I know that, I just want to be able to use drifter's abilities cause they were fun. Now they're just a taller operator.

Hopefully they (DE) will flesh this out a bit more like they did with Operators.

When 2nd Dream showed up, the Operator was just a beam weapon.

Too bad?

The "abilities" were only because we didn't have our actual powers yet.

Those drifter abilities are pointless, and would be entirely useless, after you get your warframes and powers back.

The abilities were garbage, what are you even talking about?

I completely agree but then why would you even need drifter and his/her abilities unless you are playing a very specific drifter mission? Momentary stealth, self heal and scan are very pointless abilities during regular WF game play.

I think drifters would be a thing if DE did some mega changes to the core gameplay.

[KaMi]

because theyre one and the same.

I mean... they may be bad, but that doesn't mean they weren't fun, i would personally love stealth only missions that require you to use the drifter and with no warframes allowed

[Slyke]

These abilities are pointless outside of the handful of story missions constructed specifically for them.

I would have much preferred to see a string of missions where you finish Drifter's extensive combat training. Which would gradually unlock access to proper weapons and various unique abilities.

Ideally all that should be implemented together with a new type of regular missions where you can only use the Drifter (or maybe also an Operator).

[fragball]

it might be something DE 'envolve' in the future (like so many other things they might have on their... long-list).
personally, i would like to see an choosable skill tree for the operators void skills - and no, i don't mean our (still not propper reworked) focus tree(s) but something more like we see in RPGs. ofc, there could also be the WF-way of doing this with mod-cards like everything else but i would like at least once not having to farme yet-another-set-of-mods...

[DLOZanma]

Yeah i'd love having the Drifter with these cool new abilities that the Operator certainly didn't have for years....wait....

From the mission ...

Ordis: " ... Where's my Operator?"
Drifter: " ... I am your Operator ..."

[Dondu]

because drifter and operator are one..

drifter:
you're the me that got rescued... and im the you that did not...
you - you or me - you

you feel me?
