There's also the victory message from Arid Fear which they still haven't put on the lore page where Vor pretty much confirms this in a roundabout way (via the lens of "how the gently caress are these guys so advanced, I know, space demons!" whilst actually alluding to what Fish just said). Unfortunately it only showed up right at the end of Arid Fear as part of the UI and hasn't reappeared since, so I can't source it.

Morshu posted:Have they outright said that warframes are mutated people, and not just weird suits of armor made from the virus? I recall the devs not really outright stating anything, and while I never played Dark Sector, I think Hayden's excal suit could be taken off, and only his arm mutated. I always got the impression that Warframes are just sapient suits of armour, pretty much - intelligent Tenno weapons, but not people.

Feenix posted:Is there a way to tell stat comparisons or whatever? Like there's this Cronus Blade I can build now, but I have NO idea if its worth 12 hours and 15,000 credits plus valuable parts. You should be able to view the stat values of all the weapons in the market. Back on plat talk for a moment for those thinking about spending real money on plat, wait until you get the plat discount as a daily login reward. Once you get up to the 3 star tier, you can get a 75% coupon for plat purchases. It's not that common but the 50% discount is fairly regular. You really shouldn't buy plat without one of those two.

Quick Primer for melee weapons: is it a single longsword or dagger? It's poo poo and you should never build it. Best melee by far right now is the Galatine, but a heavy weapon (Gram/Scindo/Fragor/Orthos) or Dual Heat Swords/Dual Ether Swords are also good.

Dual Zorens are also great if only for their utility aspect as a means to helicopter around the map at ridiculous speed.

I think it actually uses your components, but the BP sticks around because you need it to claim your ticket.

Hey guys, I'm still super new at the game but I'm running the PS4 dojo right now, so I'm looking for some advice. I've got a reactor and a shadow(??) barracks building right now, and I'm wondering what I should focus on building next. Should I go straight to setting up some labs for research? Or is something else worth prioritizing?

The clan vault is just where materials go when you remove bits of your dojo, or decorations, or whatever. Don't upgrade the size of your clan until you get most of the research done, invite poopsockers first. The research and building requirements scale up with your clan membership cap, not how many people are currently in your clan.

Ugh well if any other goons have gone PC -> PS4, it looks like account migration won't be happening for a while: https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/130116-information-and-faq-pc-to-ps4%E2%84%A2-account-migration/ And! Account migration will overwrite your progress on the PS4 version. You will only keep plat and clan status. I want my Exalibur Prime, but drat... I would like to keep all my new mods too. Some other threads on the Warframe forums have implied that my stockpile of PC Platinum will not transfer over, either. I don't know if I want to bother migrating at all, then. But I also don't think I'll be going back to the PC version either, what a waste.

You're missing the point of what I was saying, I'm aware of what formas do I've used around 40 of them, I'm saying that the prices on (most) weapons/frames in the store make them almost worthless to people who have played for any length of time, who would much rather build them. However, if you got say 3-4 extra, instant polarities on the 200 plat gun you just bought then some people might actually consider it since that is something that you can only get by grinding up affinity and using formas to reset, which can take weeks. If you're paying premium prices you should be getting a premium product is what I'm saying, which right now in most cases you are just getting swindled, paying what comes out at default plat prices to $15 generally for a single gun. Of course something like this would probably never happen, because there's plenty of people who have spent plat on weapons and frames and would go apeshit if they didn't get a refund or something.

The problem with that is a double whammy of still not being worth the price they're asking and practically inviting accusations of pay to win from mouthbreathing pubbies. Plus what you already mentioned about people who already spent plat on weapons wanting compensation. Now, if people with more money than time/sense want to waste their cash on overpriced weapons (and there is certainly a portion of the player base willing to do so), that's fine. I personally think they should be cheaper by at least half, but I still wouldn't buy them nor would I recommend doing so to others even so, simply because it's so simple (if time-consuming) to acquire everything through gameplay.

They could always just make the cash shop items give an exclusive skin, no pay2win + they get some sort of value other people cant grind out in an hour or three. Glad I looked at the OP before using my Bundlestars 170 plat. Managed to net two warframe slots, four weapon slots, classic saturated paint, and the Carrier sentinel (god he's so nice to have, at least early on. I don't need to worry about melee enemies sneaking up on me since he just stuns the grineer sawer/corpus taser when they do).

I put a catalyst on Patriot Potato's weapon and it's kind of disturbing how powerful it is. Anytime a couple enemies sneak up while I'm sniping or get too close to shoot with a rocket, he just shreds them. And the vacuum ability is always useful. It's a great sentinel.

The payment was cancled, but the plat was still added to my account and I had spent it before I wised up to what happened. I messaged support, and they said if wrote a haiku for them I could keep my plat. Best customer support.

Feenix posted:2 Questions to whomever, just asking 1 based off Crowbear's post: 1) You need the key to get into the Dojo, which would let you contribute materials to building stuff and use whatever rooms we end up building in there. It's cheap and the only semi-rare thing you need to make it is a drop off the first boss so there's no reason not to, really. 2) Fusion lets you power up a mod by fusing other mods and fusion cores to it. Fusing a duplicate of a mod to it will fill the bar quicker. Transmute lets you sacrifice 4 un-leveled mods to create a random new mod. Using duplicates in the transmute gives you a lower chance to get rare mods in return, and using higher rarity mods gives you a better chance.

 Update on Damage 2.0 This new damage system introduces a number of new terms. This post will take you through introducing and explaining these terms, then elaborating on what they mean for combat. Keep in mind that things are subject to change, that some terms may be placeholder. Physical Damage: Impact Puncture Slash Every weapon in the game is made up of a combination of these three damage types. The overall damage of any given weapon is the sum of Impact, Puncture, and Slash damage. Weapons will exhibit a variety of combinations on the Impact, Puncture, and Slash damage spectrum. Mods will affect damage types as decided by the player by their loadout. In short, Weapon Damage = (Impact + Puncture + Slash) Real-life Firearm Metaphor: Impact=Slug; Puncture=Armor Piercing; Slash=Hollow-point. When assigning physical damage aspects to weapons we avoid making them 'pure' (100% in one direction). This ensures you can damage all enemies in the game. Elemental Damage: In addition to the 3 base damage types, Elemental Damage can be applied on top of a weapon’s base damage depending on what Elemental Mods are applied. For some rare weapons, elemental damage is all they have. There are four primary Elemental Damage types: Heat Cold Electric Toxin Elemental Damage can be applied alone but if you combine primary elements they create new combined elemental damage types! This opens up new possibilities, reduces 'rainbow build' problems and reduces some of the confusing effects like 'frozen guy is on fire'. Combined Elemental Types: To create these combined elements requires mixing two primary elements together: Blast (Fire + Cold) Gas (Fire + Toxin) Radiation (Fire + Electricity) Magnetic (Cold + Electricity) Viral (Cold + Toxin) Corrosive (Electricity + Toxin) Elemental Damage is applied in addition to a weapon’s physical damage types. Weapon Damage = (Impact + Puncture + Slash) + (Elemental). Elemental Damage Hierarchy & Combining Elementals Elemental damage combinations are made by following a strict order. Fire, Cold, Electric, Toxin. As an example: If you want Fire damage + Magnetic damage (Cold + Electricity), you will need to split it between weapons because when a Fire Mod enters the mod loadout any other elementals will combine with it as it is first in the hierarchy. Status Effects ('Procs') All damage types have a chance to inflict a status on the target – including you! Impact: Knockback Puncture: Weakened (reduced damage output) Slash: Bleed (health reduced over time, healing blocked) Fire: Ignited (fire damage over time) Cold: Slowed Electric: Chain Electricity Damage Toxin: Poison Damage over time to health. Blast: Stun Gas: Poison in area Radiation: Confusion (difficulties targeting) Magnetic: Shield reduction Viral: Sickened Corrosive: Armor Damage UI Representation The UI will represent all these damage stats numerically. Attached are screenshots of what you can expect to see with Damage 2.0. Exhibit 1: 3 images that show the Physical Damage types represented in the UI, and the added Heat damage after a Heated Charge is added.  Exhibit 2: 2 Images that show the impact of a No-Return mod on Puncture Damage  Exhibit 3: 2 images that show the impact of an Elemental Damage combination.  Enemy Levels Enemy levels now fall in a more compressed scale. Level 1 enemies are still the easiest, but the difficulty of a Level 40 enemy in Damage 2.0 will be comparable to a Level 100 enemy in Damage 1.0. Infinite mission types will still feature ever increasing enemy levels. Enemies will be wielding weapons that can inflict different types of damage and Procs on the Tenno, meaning the difficulty will come from a combination of their loadouts and their level. Know your enemy. Enemies will react to damage types differently. Begin hunting your enemies to discover the best way to approach different faction and enemies. With your Primary, Secondary, and Melee weapon, you will be able to take on the fiercest foes with many different combinations. Significance of Change Damage 2.0 is a very significant change to Warframe. We are standing by to receive feedback and experiences on this new Damage system when it is released.

I still probably suck as much as your average pubbie, though! Also I'm a huge loser who threw real money at this game just so I could unlock teleporting space ninja man right off the bat.

Another thing to keep in mind for console players as a reason to not buy a Warframe with platinum is once they allow account migration to PS4 I assume a few of us with lots of good stuff unlocked will be switching over, and we can help you easily farm any frame you want aside from Vauban and maybe Nekros. It takes about 4 days to craft them but farming the actual blueprints for a boss takes no time at all with a geared out person running you through whatever zone it is you need. And personally as far as spending platinum goes, I have only bought slots and catalysts. You end up getting plenty of Orokin reactors through alerts but it's likely you will end up wanting at least a few catalysts once you settle on 3 weapons you like, and it's always fun to have a varied loadout.

So I guess that means if you want to get the slow effect from cold damage, you can't have any other elements. I guess the same goes for fire, but you can get electric and toxin by themselves since they're lower priority.

Looking at that some more, that "5% status" thing could mean that rapidfire weapons will be a lot better at doing status effects so if they adjust those numbers for every weapon then underpowered things like the Grakata could actually have a use (provided they don't give the Soma the same number so it continues to be better at absolutely everything). On the other hand it could end up making sniper rifles even more useless if they will have status chances like 5%.
