Melee 2.0: Second Thoughts, Personal Complaints, Shameless Bashing, and Mild Suggestions.
After these past few days, and the new, awesome, super-ninja-out-of-the-world-crazy ninja slashing, smashing, crushing, whipping, slicing, dicing combo goodness, I'm going to gripe about it. Seriously gripe about it.
My griping is going to be mildly focused, and I'll jump around and back to certain topics without any particular pattern. If you're too OCD to handle it, you may proceed to kill yourself with a Heat Dagger in the eyeballs while you attempt to read through this massacre of words.
Let's start with the basic concept of M2.0 that takes away from M1.0. Melee 2.0 was designed to make melee more viable, more interesting, and ultimately fit into the game better, in comparison to mashing and/or holding the E key for ages on end, from Ich…
Need Help for U13 Things: Updating Pages
So, as we all know, U13 added 6 metric fishtons of content, including changes to ALL melee weapons.
I'm going to need everybody's help to go through and add in stance polarities to all the pages that lack one. Commenting on the pages but not adding it in directly still helps, if you don't know how to put it in yourself. Hopefully, someone who actually reads comments will swing by and throw it in for you.
Furthermore, for the braver or heart and mind, I need people to cross-check the tweaked weapons. Almost, if not all longswords were changed in their damage (buffed for most, Dakra Prime for the rest). I don't know about any other melee classes/weapons in general, so if anybody has the balls to go through with that one, please do.

Update 13: The Sword Alone - Is the Hype Real?
Melee 2.0 flew out of Vay Hek's mother's face today, complete with a major grind-fest boss, awesome katanas, Davy Jones, a cross-gun, and a fancy dinner knife and Kriss.
I was hyped.
Was.
I love this update, without a doubt, and the awesomeness packed into all the crazy combos is massive fun. If I could get my hands on one.
I don't have a single stance. Nothing. Farming yields abysmal results. My Reaper Prime, in all fanciness and hilarity, is stuck with a three hit combo. I don't know about you guys, but this was slightly upsetting to me.
I'm aware I got myself into RNG grind hell whenever I signed up for this awesome space-ninja-pirates-birds-animals-goats game, but I was NOT expecting this. I've heard the drop-tables were fixed a bit, and I'…
The Final Update for U13: A Mysterious Countdown?
So, I finally peeked at the last little screenie for your wonderful sneeky peeky.
Links! Everybody loves links!
It's a pretty standard fair. Looks like a new dojo lab for some nice research, and/or a weird capture of some strange, mutation of an infected beast. Or something like an earthly tree-plant-thing. There's a million speculations to what this creepypasta hologram is.
But that's not what caught me eye.
On the bottom left of the panel, there's a whirling timer/display/thing that's in Grineer. I'm not confident in my ability to read Grineer, but it appears to be a "7", followed but plenty of illegible blurs.
So what is this "7" supposed to mean? What's the timer for? Why is there a hologram of some unknown organ meat? Discuss!
Getting lazy…
One More, U13 Updates: The Totally Mysterious Tileset.
So, I'm just reporting in on this again, and here we go.
That link everybody wants.
This panel is just a snapshot with a bunch of the usual bucket-helmet Grineer elites, only in a new Grineer tileset. It looks like some sort of Grineer factory or an internal structure within the heart of the Grineer's Earth. Or, literally any other planet they've taken over.
I have a feeling of 4 options here:
A, some of Earth's pretty mossy jungle nodes will get Ruk-smashed into a neat little It'stheGrineer factory,
B, some of the environments of the jungle tilesets will be converted into these neat little factories,
C, we get a new planet nearby or related to Earth (like the "Moon")
or D, DE gets a little lazy and just slaps it onto an existing Grineer planet, …
