Personally I always try to avoid using anything rank 30, but frankly there isn't much you can do when you got some nova with a soma steamrolling everything. You just can't kill what is already dead.

I load up my Nova/Soma combo when everything must absolutely positively perish. Things like t3 survival and such. Other than that it's just silly to use top tier items

There is plenty of stuff that don't need Orokin Cells, grind for something else and wait for Cells to pop up as an invasion reward.

They go faster than the other invasions but slower than potatoes. They put up about ten cells a week.

Is there one of these for the PS4? Their official Alert app for the PS4 is hilariously wrong. Its never been right. It'll say one thing but when you log on its nothing like what the app said.

If you really need a lot of cells, wait till there's an infestation on Saturn or Ceres and then do a mobile defense mission. Have everyone just sit near the console and bring a Nekros specced for Desecrate spam. Try to do it with clannies as, 80% of the time, pubbies will not sit on the console.

I always had pretty good luck farming orokin cells from Mimas on Saturn. But that was back when it was infested.

I also got a ton from Lech Kril on Ceres when I was farming Frost parts too.

No on the gorgon (soma is flat out better in every respect), yes on the glaive once you mod it up with the glaive specific mods from tower runs/generous goons. Unless you want knockback, glaive is one of the two melee weapons actually worth using. It loses to the galatine on pure damage, but is far more useful due to its range, faster charge speed, and penetration.

The rule of thumb is to get everything and try it out. But yes, both are pretty good. Check the wiki for optimum gorgon setup. Glaive is a DE darling weapon and is a whole lot of fun to use

If he's concerned with morphics management, then he's nowhere near the soma. Gorgon is a good transition to it

Yeah I just got both of those 2, I have a gorgon in the oven, but I'm only mastery level 4 so it's good for that? Once i get to 6 I want to get the lightning gun but that'll take a while. I'm really liking rhino and I have an ember that should be ready tomorrow. This game really opens up when you get a few planets open and figure out how the invasions and alerts work.

I'm rank 4 now. I'm sure I'll make any free blueprints I get eventually, just trying to prioritize for now and keep acquiring weapons and minimizing the time I spend with mastered weapons equipped. For primaries right now I have the boltor and braton mastered, getting close to 30 with the karak and I'm in the progress of building an ignis.

There are invasion missions where you get up to 3 at a time as a reward. Building them in foundry is rather expensive

This. Today has been really dead for invasions, but there is usually multiple 3 mutagen masses invasions up at a time.

My friend has managed to get hilarious amounts of use out of his Torid :confused:

Also the screenshot I posted where the guy got 11 kills and I had nearly 1100 was because he was actually a Loki who made all the clumps of Corrupted Heavy Gunners just try to hit us with sticks instead of shooting us. My hilariously inflated kill number was because Mag's Shield Polarize absolutely wrecks the Orokin Drones :v:

He didn't say anything about kill count, just that it would not be fun

Edit: Torid inflicts systematic damage, so your target(s) have to be within range for a period of time in order to get the full effect. Toss those rockets under a vortex and watch the numbers skyrocket. But good luck trying to damagea moving target.

The Ignis is the main answer here. Starts up right away and barely needs to be aimed at all.

Takes a while to build if you haven't been acquiring Detonite Injectors in anticipation of making it, though.

There was a cool council post today that talks about some of their goals to add more of an end-game to Warframe.

quote:

"Focus"
When a piece of gear hits rank cap you start earning points to unlock player abilities that they can activate as a form of 'avatar state' / 'demon mode'.
• Focus is classified - currently we have Warrior, Guardian, Tactician, Ward, Elemental and Channeling. You install a 'Warrior Lens' on your maxed Rhino to start earning Warrior Focus. Maybe you put a Warrior Lens on your other maxed gear to really 'focus'.
• All XP on a Focused item that goes above Rank 30 goes toward earning a Focus Point.
• You spent your Warrior points to unlock things from a tree-like set of skills. Example is, you buy 'Taunt' for 3 points which makes all enemies focus on you.
• Every Mastery Rank gives you a slot. Mastery Rank 4? You can install 4 Focus Powers.
• All of these Focus Powers add up to the cool-down cost. Later on I can spend Focus to reduce it, but out of the gate my Focus can only be activated every hour.

"Proxy War"
Factions and secret organization emerge. Working for them earns ranking within their organization and unique benefits.
• Expanding on the Gradivus Dilemma, we track player choices. XP earned on behalf of a specific faction is accumulated into a Mastery Rank-style progression for each group.
• Working for one side may impact the attitude of another... that said we don't want you to dig too big a hole so we may soften this affect.
• Secret Organizations exist that Tenno can embrace or reject - performing missions, special alerts, small quests allow you to rise through their ranks. The Red Veil assassins, the Oracles of Saturn... Proxy War grows the lore as well.
• Sacrifices must be made - similar to how Mastery Rank is increased through tests, rising through Orders requires sacrifices to be made. The Veil may want a Bane mod, the Oracles may want Orokin technology. Earning favor will not be easy.
• When your sacrifice is met and your standing increased you'll be granted exclusive benefits... the Grineer may share Grenade designs, the Oracles have Mod designs unheard of.
• If you're in a Clan, the Clan becomes the sum of its parts. An organized Clan may concentrate their players to earn favors from some factions and organizations.

"Badlands"
Clans and Alliances own parts of the Solar System. They construct a Solar Rail then deploy to an open (or contested) area allowing everyone to play... but they set taxes on missions run there. Monopolies rise and fall. Territorial battles break out for honor... and profit.
• New locations are discovered in the Solar Map, with rarer resources, harder bosses, better loot... but they are unreachable .
• A Clan (or Alliance) can collaborate on building Tower to connect it to the Solar Rail network. When it is build and deployed all Tenno can now run missions there. In essence, they've built a solar toll-highway.
• All missions run there have taxes applied to them - resources and credits - this rate is set by the Clan who build the Tower.
• Competing clans can build their own tower (maybe in secret) to challenge the area. When this happens, the area is locked into Tower Sabotage mode (against Orokin defenders, not PvP) - the Clans (and all players they convince to help) chose a side and try to destroy the opposing Tower (like a player-driven Invasion).
• If a clan has built up Favor with a faction they can call them in - making their Tower more difficult to destroy as Grineer Elites are brought in to help.
• Political intrigue grows, towers are built in secret, counter-attacks sprung, and rousing pleas for support play out over days of bloody conflict.

All three items sound really cool, maybe it'll bring in a bunch of new goons so we can go on a solar tower building spree and cockblock others.

Started using the Hek today. Exploding most mobs in 1-2 shots. :stare: Reloading sucks. I'd been avoiding shotguns on account of the starter being 75k to buy.

Then the shotgun piercing mod dropped during a defense mission. Now it's the Doom shotgun and gibs 2-3 enemies at once. :unsmigghh:

Oooo... Prestige progression type things with actual benefits? I'm a sucker for those. :dance: Wonder if it could be one of those things that's stackable to stupid heights. Might help mitigate all those scrubs with MK1 Bratons running around. :argh:

The Proxy War sounds great in theory, but in the current state of affairs that's left the Corpus completely buggered because people want to see the Harvester, they'd better take a fair bit of care implementing this one.
