This is true, but really the fastest way to get any invader to show up is to hop into a solo mission with a new warframe and new weapons.

I saw them for the first time yesterday while grinding beacons with some goons. I had the mark for months without ever seeing them and suddenly we get them two missions in a row.

I might've been in that group, they can be a challenge for a group of 4 Nekros. Hadn't seen them at all until then and then suddenly two back to back appearances.

So I was apprehensive on the new stuff. Initial reports on Melee 2.0 felt like SWG's Combat Upgrade. But I had level 28 Dual Skanas I needed to finish off so I took a survival, stayed in melee form. 90,000 XP later in a 30 minute game and over 600 Grineer kills, I'm liking it, a lot.

Second Wind has a real, visceral purpose. I am going to be slotting that. The fact that I can chain melee attacks together with Bladestorm and continue chopping grineer into meat is absolutely fabulous. Getting melee killchains above 30 is absolutely satisfying.

It's great, and theoretically makes Ash one of the better DPS frames when coupled with a high combo multiplier.

For the same reason I have a decaying dragon key that re-equips itself whenever I start up the game despite being taken off and/or replaced - because DE are literal loving retarded monkeys randomly slamming keys on a keyboard.

Sometimes he'll dual-target. I was in a Void mission where he didn't send me any message, but he turned on and kills me after killing the guy with me. I thought it was over or else I would have kept shooting, so good on the Stalker for keeping me on my toes.

This is the truth. That or taking a break longer twenty-four hours is also pretty good. I swear, every time I stop playing Warframe for longer than a weekend, Stalker gets mad when I come back and drops in to show his disapproval at my disloyalty to the RNG Gods by making GBS threads Slash Dashes out.

Fair. I've got about 50 odd weapons at the moment and I'm thinking of selling a few sets once they're maxed, some of these weapons are a bit dull.

I ended up throwing $50 at this game at one point when I got a big plat coupon, got thousands of plat, and bought myself a fuckton of slots. I keep everything that's not overtly bad.

There's a lot of weapons in this game that are neither an obvious standout winner, nor total junk. (Usually, weapons in this middle ground have some hilarious gimmick builds too -- i.e. Nova doing Antimatter Drop with a fast-firing Flux Rifle, or a Torid with every multishot mod on it, or throwing every Corrupted mod with -firerate onto a Grakata and turning it into a slow-firing sniper, or a 100% status chance Tysis.)

Plus, DE has a tendency to revisit weapons in this area and bump them up, especially if they're Clan tech. For ex, Ignis used to be a bad joke when it was first introduced, and then it got turned into a murder machine.

So, unless I absolutely can't stand it, I keep it.

(e: Specifically, of the weapons I've used so far, the only weapons I've thrown away after leveling to 30 are Strun and Sicarus. I'd throw away Ballistica, as it was terrible to grind to 30, but I feel bad after spending so much resources to build it; ditto for Vulkar and Miter.)

I mentioned this in chat earlier but I figured I should post about this mod I found as well.



Right now it's only obtained through transmutation, but you can heal yourself when you do a channeled melee strike. This is the kind of mod I want DE to make, it changes the ways you can use various systems. You could have a 100% channeling efficiency setup and do some nice damage, or you could use it to heal yourself and focus on regular attacks because you might need the Warframe energy elsewhere. when you don't need healing. I also found one that raises crit rate when channeling, but that's kind of a joke by comparison.

I need to spam some void missions and get more credits, there seem to be other mods that don't drop normally out there that came out with U13. It baffles me that DE put in these things and then made them really hard to get. Why? :psyduck:

My guess is that Dark Sector Defense and Dark Sector Survival have their own reward tables and these mods are on them.

Because the entire progression system needs to be the next thing to get a 2.0, basically.

Also do we have numbers yet on the damage numbers of top-tier melee setups? In my dreams it will actually be higher than the top-tier guns to make up for the risk of getting and staying in melee without dying, but somehow I just know it won't be the case.

Certain weapons are immune to knockdown when attacking. Dual Ichor's in particular, properly timed attacks will ignore knockdown, including scorpion pulls and heavy gunner knockdown.

More specifically, this is a property of the move set (Dual Swords) and applies to any other weapons that use that move set.

Single swords using Iron Phoenix have ignored knockdown for me, too. It seems that any of the "special" attacks in the combo (usually combo finishers) grant knockdown ignorance.

Oh, yeah. I'd forgotten that they fixed that last patch/update/whatever. I started out mashing my face against the Void for Rhino Prime when it released and then sorta lost interest again and slipped back into my cycle of logging in for potato/forma alerts until Dex Furis appeared and lured me back briefly from the lands of DNDgoonery. And, of course, new 'frame and Solar rails is just like a hook in the mouth of masochistic trout.

This would've been perfectly reasonable. And suited the colour scheme, too! I know most of the griping about Hydroid happened several pages back, but goddamn it's a terrible name.

Slots are pretty much what I spend plat on. I got a 75% off coupon once plus the Steam sale that gave 75% off the starter pack and haven't bought any plat since. I'm really loath to sell any Clantech because Formas and 'expense,' but pretty much the only non-prime/non-clan guns I've kept have been Soma and Boltor. Though I will cling to Miter forever in the forlorn hope that DE one day makes it not poo poo. :lol:

Ask in clan chat. Most everyone keeps spares of the damage and multishot mods around to give away.

I don't know what some of you guys are talking about when it comes to combos. Swirling Tiger is so much fun. I mean, it's not like 100% game changing, it's still pretty much the same melee feel and everything, and I'm kind of convinced their purpose is to help build larger combos and provide multi-hit scenarios for melee weapons so they can compete with guns, but holy poo poo after finally getting swirling tiger for the zorens I'm a carnage machine.
