They are still on the docket for today, Acolytes are a switch that gets turned on DE-side, not something we necessary have to download.

they specifically noted that they were going to push back the damage stuff (and khora as well), not the rest which was already put together

Personally? No. The Mod parts are worthless and its a small amount of credits and plat for $50. The exilus stuff is worth only 60 plat. It's better than buying plat without a discount I think, but it is still pretty terrible.

This game is perfect for empty-headed dunces that don't like to think much!! Of course, I'm a genius... I wonder why I'm so good at it?!
I look forward to getting nothing of value from the acolytes.

This one seems to be a not so good deal, however, if you look at the $9.99 version, you get 300 plat with it, which just for the plat alone is a very good deal (considering you'd pay nearly twice that in the Warframe store) - the mods, skin, and exilus adapter are just icing on the cake at that point. I picked it up last time it was half off.

The big new shotgun looks pretty cool, but I still don't understand why DE thinks it's a good idea to make weapons with one fire mode that's crit-focused and another status-focused.
Players only get one set of mods, so you're just forcing them to choose one mode to build for while abandoning the other. Euphona Prime, Fusilai, and now Corinth all do it.

Yeah it's an annoying trend. You can't even hybrid build them because then you just have two gimped modes.

There's a cutscene you can view in there if you've completed Chains of Harrow. It's a lead-up to the next plotquest I assume (so not Khora).

Both the $50 and the $10 steam packs are the same for plat, :tenbux: for 300 plat (weirdly, the $20 and $30 packs are worse deals). However, if you think you might spend more on Warframe, the $80 Prime Access pack gets you 2625 plat (:tenbux: for 330 plat) and the newest primes.

Also, goddamnit, why did they have to push a 500Mb update during the Acolyte event? For some reason that's never been resolved, I pull 10-20Kb/s max on my downloads from DE, so it's going to take the whole event just to update.

Now I've reached Uranus, I'm really struggling with melee. What damage types do I need to be prioritising to cope with the insane armour on some of these dudes? I guess puncture -- but I don't have any mods that add puncture to all these hammers and sticks.

Mod for Corrosive. Elemental mods are a bigger part of your damage than the base physical stats anyways, so puncture or not doesn't matter too much.
Also look into getting either Blood Rush or Condition Overload, which are the lategame OP hugedamage melee mods for crit and status weapons respectively. You'll probably have to trade for them, although CO technically drops from some enemy on uranus at an extremely low rate.

Cool, ta. I've got one mod that strips an additional +6 armour per hit, after fusion. That isn't a very big number though -- is it even worth bothering with? I dunno how much is a lot when it comes to armour, but I'm guessing it's well into three figures.

In an ideal situation you're killing enemies in maybe 1-5 hits, so that mod won't make a difference at all. If you are fighting stuff that you have to constantly whack for a solid 10+ seconds to kill, then yeah I suppose it'll speed things up, but you'd be better off on trying to boost your damage up to usable levels.

No event is that short. Bare minimum you have a couple days and based on the previous events its a full week.

Uranus was a big "mod check" for me too. I managed to get past it with help, Soma Prime, Hek and multishoot mods. For melee i used a Jat Kittag with a few formas and 4 elementals

I've got Boltace, Brakk, Dread, Latron and Torid rivens if anyone is particularly fond of any of those weapons. I'm not posting images since none of them are anywhere close to usable as they are.

Do you have Corrosive Projection? It'll take the edge off their armor and help increase your damage. That said, against Grineer you want to mod for Corrosive or Radiation. Corrosive is strong against all of them and strips even more armor, while Radiation does more damage to the big guys like Bombards and Heavy Gunners, and opens them up to friendly fire.
