Wow, there are actually people complaining that you can trade mods and keys for other players' Platinum. There's even a thread with some guy trying (poorly) to drum up a boycott of trading. :psyduck:

What I'm amazed at is the people who are offering like, 2000 platinum (that's ~$100 USD) for Primed Chamber.

Seriously you guys? Just buy another goddamn game. Or an internet spaceship or something. How the hell are people so bad at cost-benefit?

Yup, I loving hate the rank up system. I didn't see there was a time limit on the mission since it was white text on a white back ground so I ran out of time with one enemy left. Now I have to wait 24 hours to rank up. gently caress you gently caress you gently caress you.

Twice today I've been doing a capture mission and get the first target just fine, but the second one gets away and I can't find him anywhere. There's no marker on the map, and the level design in this game isn't really conducive to going and playing hide-and-seek. I had to quit out and lose all the goodies I had picked up because I couldn't finish the goddamn level. I've been having fun but gently caress this is frustrating.

I'm just jumping into games, trying not to do any particular level more than once. They seem to be keeping the unlocked levels reasonably in line with your level as you go.

Also, go to the armory all the drat time and try putting new cards on your guns and such. That makes a huge difference. My machinegun sets things on fire now!

Thanks to the guys that ran the Void missions with me :D

The last wave of that defense mission is super hosed, though. We tried it 3-4 times and everything went super smooth until wave 10 where it ALL WENT BAD!

Anyway, I had some extra plat so I bought a couple of void key packs. Hoping to run some of them tomorrow night.

Clan chat on the PS4 kind of sucks since you don't get alerts when people have replied and you also can't see it. So I'll post here instead. I'm going to be online for a bit tonight and clearing as much of the star map as possible. Send me a message if you want to join in.

Clan chat's pretty frustrating on the PC right now, too. The chat window accepts any and all input when it's open, so you can't navigate other windows without scrolling your chat all over the place and collapsing it when you're just trying to back out of the arsenal. And there's not a UI safe-space carved out for the chat window, so it gets in the way of stuff. And they still haven't worked out a system to stick multiple channels in the same tab, so if I want to listen to my clan (I do!) I have to go completely deaf to my squadmates.

Is there a fast way to get capture void keys besides just random defense maps? It sounds like all of Ember Prime's parts drop from void capture now but I'm not getting anything reliable from defense rewards.

He seems pretty stupid now honestly. Every time I've seen him he's one-shotted everyone in about five seconds because basically all your powers don't work against him anymore, he's super fast and his bow does hundreds of damage.

So after some very, very basic experimentation playing with modding my Braton Vandal and listening to the Prime Time stream it seems like trying to slap piercing hit on and have it do anything just no longer works.

My Braton has a puncture of 2.0 base. Add a fully leveled Piercing hit and that goes up to a whopping 2.8

According to the streamers, Damage 2.0 works by adding all three damage attributes together in which case I've done basically nothing compared to upping my braton's Impact damage, it's main damage source.

So... Bigger Numbers/Elemental Damage? Maybe it's just a matter of kitting the gun out for whatever effect you want now? I wouldn't mind it being a sort of Borderlands-lite thing where everything is effective but some things are more effective against certain enemies. Lets you just do what you want and shoot all the mans.

That said, I kinda hope they add some sort of UI element in the modding menu to let you know which effects you have active.

Edit: Judging from the goon rage last night when the Red Text was making jokes, I'm not sure a mumble party would work out.

Yeah, from what I can tell the best way to maximize your damage is to up your base damage with the same damage/multishot/maybe also crit combo we've always used and then shove as many elemental mods onto your gun as possible. Upping impact/slash/puncture damage gives really poor returns, even if your gun deals purely one damage type. I wanna experiment with an elemental damage gun (probably an Ignis) to see if I can get three different elemental effects stacked up to just riddle enemies with debuffs. Still have yet to find a toxin damage mod in any flavor, though.

Figures that the damage model that was supposed to discourage rainbow builds instead heavily favors rainbow builds.

It maxes out at 2 elemental types on a gun at once since there are 4 base elements and they all combine in some fashion.

Also, the rifle toxic mod drops in the void.

Ignis with Blast keeps things permanently on the ground. Not sure what other elemental mod would be abusable.

edit: It's possible to have 3 elements. Two combos and a pure. I haven't tried to get 3 combos. I have poison rifle mod now so I don't see why it wouldn't be possible. With Ogris you can get two combos and a pure without toxin at all.

I was hoping that with a natural elemental gun that combining in, for example, ice would convert to blast, then another fire could be dropped in for a second elemental combination with whatever's next, then the last mod. Now that I think about it, that's unlikely to work. You'd need a gun that naturally spits out a combination element, and the only one I know of is the Detron.

I'm still really early on (a few missions into Venus) and am I supposed to be constantly running out of ammo? I'm mostly playing solo right now until I can get used to some of the mechanics, but even in the few matches I've jumped into with pubbies I have to switch weapons and use melee a TON because I'm unable to shoot.

^^^^ Your gun sucks because you don't have good mods yet, so it takes you a long time and a lot of bullets to kill stuff. DE balances this game around the assumption that you have serration/hornet strike/point blank (stupid base damage booster mods that shouldn't exist because they're terrible design) at decent levels. It sucks really early on, but that's just how this game is until you get those mods. If you have a fire damage mod for your weapons at least slot those.

Hulk hands on Valkyr is surprisingly pretty strong, at least until your melee attack bugs out and gets disabled, which is a bug that has existed for how many patches now and still isn't fixed? They also need to remove the coloring that covers your screen during it because you can't see poo poo while it's active (though its purpose is basically just mash attack so that doesn't really matter too much). Also sometimes ripline just straight up won't fire, and it never takes you the full distance. It does deal decent damage though, if you can manage to get it to hit something (its targeting requirements are super precise). The armor buff/melee attack speed boost thing is just not particularly relevant, and the knockdown is sort of decent I guess. Basically before anyone gets too excited to build her, she/the game needs some serious bug fixing and fundamental changes. Just build Rhino if you want a melee capable frame that might have actually been designed by someone who plays Warframe. She's still better than Nekros, though.

Also, don't waste your money or time on tigris or cestra. They are competing with each other for the illustrious title of "Worst gun in the game."

I'm kind of lost with some of these new things:
  • What are these "nav coordinate" bubbles I'm picking up?
  • What are these dragon key blueprints available in the shop? I'm guessing a special challenge orokin void with the handicap mentioned but better loot?
  • I did a couple alert missions but they didn't give out their bonus cash?
  • How do I trade?

Acrid has 'Gas' damage as its base.
I was really hoping that the combinations would be mod based, so you could do things like combine hellfire with something, but also wildfire with something else. Haven't tried yet, but I have a serious feeling it won't work.

Seems they found a way to 'buff' the Grataka by giving it a 10% base proc chance. Combined with its high fire rate it seems to be the best weapon in my inventory to dish out elemntal procs. Not sure if it's worth with the low base damage though... on the other hand, having a semi-reliable perma-stun ranged weapon might come in handy, especially since there are more than enough secondaries that can carry you through the game so losing a primary slot is not that much of a problem.
