I think it's being done by just whoever has the time to do it. Hopefully having someone be the end all on UI will tighten things up.

Thanks to the new Cernos, I now have a golf bag of bows for every single occasion in the game. All other primary weapons can go into the trash because poo poo just ain't as fun as bows. Paris Prime, here I come.

Do ragdolls work correctly for impaled enemies now? I have a supercharged Fragor and a Boltor, and I'm sad that the former doesn't ragdoll enemies and the latter has an extremly glitchy enemy pinning animation.

I would love it if they could implement some universal sets so I can switch between a frame and weapons in one click. It since to be able to create multiple per-weapon configs, but now that guns have more specific roles it's not as useful to be able respec them. I'll never use a gun that does 90% of its damage via slash to fight Grineer because that's silly when I can just get some piercing weapons ready.

Yeah, seriously. With the new UI guy on board here's hoping that gets implemented soon.

Also I bought a braton with some of my free PS+ credits, but what should I use my remaining 50k credits and 150 plat on? I was thinking about grabbing a carrier with half of the plat.

Grab a carrier and potatoes for your Braton and Warframe and you should be pretty solid for the early game.

Make sure to upgrade your Carrier's Vacuum mod ASAP, the range on it is pitifully low. You'll have to use Fusion Cores for it, unless someone knows how to get Vacuum mods at low levels.

Probably because of having to run through Sony for everything. Even if Sony has opened their platform dramatically they're still a second layer of interference compared to the PC. Even if you technically run the game through Steam all you're really doing is launching the Warframe launcher which connects to DE's CDN providers so they can drop tiny bits of content, bug fixes, etc. every couple of days.

Alright, thanks! I picked up the carrier for now, but i'll take a look at the other stuff later. Luckily I've been getting basically only fusion cores to drop, so while I might have no mods for my weapons, I can definitely upgrade this thing.

What are some sort of early/mid game goals? I've been working up through venus towards the boss at the top but I'm not really sure what I should be heading for frame/equipment wise. I'm looking for a nimble, high damage, not necessarily terribly tanky sort of playstyle (currently running excalibur). Is there a frame or some weapons that I should start trying to gather the materials for? I'm on ps4 so old damage model for the time being.

High damage and nimble you really can't beat a Nova but depending on weather you are willing to get some help and skip ahead a bit that might be a tough one to aquire in the early game.

Nova has an ability that i'm convinced was created on some kind drunken developer truth or dare sleepover.
Dramatic reenactment:
"Truth or dare Developer Dan?"
"Dare"
"I dare you to make an ability that makes most other damage abilities redundant and useless developer dan!"
"Cool I'll give nova an ultimate that slows all enemies in a radius and they take 200% damage from everyone!"
"Ohh snap that seems awesome mabye we should tone it down to 100% damage though?"
"Nah I'm not done yet man, then when they die thay explode doing massive damage you can increase with mods to all nearby Enemies!"

Well that sounds incredibly neat but I'll probably at least have to wait until I get into the ps4 clan to see if I can find a way to get my hands on it.

Nova is a product of the Design Council. The name, the theme of the frame, and the powers were all suggested and voted on by the player base (mechanics and implentation was all DE, though). Description from the DC voting thread:

quote:

1. "Molecular Prime" - Primes all enemies in a radius with antimatter. Upon death the antimatter and matter collide causing high damage in a certain radius. The explosions can kill other primed enemies and set off more explosions. Can kill new enemies in explosion radius. Good for chain reaction explosions.

Other candidates for the ult included:

quote:

2. "World Collider" - Spawns a clone of self at target location. It then starts to sprint towards the caster, when they meet matter and anti-matter collide causing a massive explosion. the greater the distance traveled by the anti-matter clone the greater the damage.

3. "Annihilation" - Casts two orbs in both hands: White and Black (Matter and Anti-Matter). The Warframe would then make a circular motion similar to Yin and Yang and press the orbs together, creating a blinding flash with an instantaneous explosion that knocks back enemies similar to Banshee's Sonic Boom.

Enemies caught in the radius are dealt devastating damage while enemies within viewing distance are blinded.

4. "Explosion" - Converts all ground in front of you into antimatter. All matter touching this will trigger an explosion. Last upto 7 sec. 40 meter cone.
Annihilation was the runner-up, losing by less than a dozen votes.

Fun fact: Nekros and Valkyr were originally runner-up suggestions later fleshed out by DE.

You should probably go track down patch notes and start reading. There is so much new stuff. New frames, new mission types, a bunch of new weapons (some of which are actually good!), a complete overhaul of the damage model (which is not actually good), a couple new tile sets, trading, a bunch of new mods, parkour tweaks, new enemies, etc., etc.

And achievements!

That last bit explains the barrage of icons I had when I logged in. Will check down the patch notes and see what's up. The new Frame looks cool.

Strun (a shotgun) is an interesting change of pace and dirt cheap to boot.
Paris (a bow) is interesting if flawed.
Burstron is good if you can swing burst fire guns.
Latron is something I've never used, but it's a semi-auto long rifle. Sniper mods work on it, I think? Nope, it's a rifle through and through.

edit: Braton/Latron Prime, as well as Dread are all Mastery 0 weapons. Those all take some doing (and a heaping helping of luck) to get though.

I just bought the bundle. I'm mastery level 2, however the game gave me the Soma and let me equip it. Quite a big oversight, or maybe Darvo greased some palms.

It's kind of standard really. I'm not sure if you can buy weapons beyond your mastery rank with plat, but the restriction has almost always been on obtaining the blueprints/weapon rather than using it. It's just another little hook to get you to spend.
