Can I get an invite to the Steam clan? Thanks in advance.

IGN Churu_Payapa

This game is dense, but I’ve gotten to Ceres and gotten MR 5 so far.

Some questions:

How do I put Ayatan Stars in statues?

What the gently caress is up with that room in my ship that seems to be Infested? What did it yank out of my neck and where did that come from?

When does Darvo sell anything?

Why do Spy missions suck so much?

Thanks.

It’s the last option in the mod menu. View the statue and at the base you can move your cursor over the holes to plug in the stars.

Spoiler thing. You will find, in time.

quote:

Why do Spy missions suck so much?

Learn that you can kill turrets/cameras and that don't break stealth.
Find your way to skip lasers (that can be jumping, a specific frame, other stuff ).

Spy missions don't have much variety, once you have mastered a design, you can do that again and again and again. Further you will find another version of the same design, with a bit more turrets and poo poo.


You can craft a item that delay the alarm a grace period. If somebody else is doing the vault, and he make a mistake, you can use the item to help him.
You can craft a lot of cyphers in advance to easily solve the hacking minigames.

Maybe leave the hacking to other people if you are truly bad.

I just feel like certain things are really obtuse. The ayatan star thing, like I know I found that menu before but I couldn’t figure out how to actually insert anything into the statues.

Like, this would have taken me ages to figure out.

And I cannot for the life of me figure out how to mod my archwing and it’s weapons, which would be really nice cause I feel really gimped in those missions. What am I missing?

And can I really not get blueprints for orokin catalysts in the market? Gently caress that.

For statues, there should be a button to auto install all stars as well.

For archwing (and conclave), there should be a button you press when in your arsenal to access the other modes. For PS4 it’s R3, not sure what switch control it is but you should see it on the bottom of the Arsenal screen.

Correct, you can’t buy tater blueprints. Just whole taters.

So how do blueprints in the Dojo work? Can I just set any research off I want or is there an additional cost to the clan?

Also im looking for a Split Chamber mod for rifles and pistols? I have been pretty lucky with most stuff bit I just cant seem to get these to drop.

I am also after the corrupted damage type mods for rifles/pistols too now i know they exist.

If anyone has spares they can price up and throw my wayon Switch I would be very grateful.

Loki has a teleport. Ivara does not. Also, getting Ivara requires that you do advanced spy missions without her.

Also I was not expecting to like Mag as much as I did. Just run around dropping armor nukes and refilling your teams armor was really satisfying.

Undertow and Tentacle Swarm complete him. Dive into groups of enemies, hit Undertow, charge a Tentacle Swarm while they're drowning, and kaboom, they're gone and you've got dangerous, long-lasting area denial. Then do the same thing again with Tempest Barrage instead of Tentacle Swarm twice (because you can sustain two TBs and one TS at once), and the entire battlefield is watery death. Also remember that both your area-denial powers knock people down, so get to groundstabbing people.

Hydroid is a thirsty boy, though, so the Zenurik school and Energy Siphon (plus efficiency, duration, and energy capacity mods) help him a lot.

One tip - pop your TS when there are nearby enemies that you haven't Undertowed. It'll make the tentacles much more aggressive and grabby. You can also use Tidal Surge to shift your Undertow pool and scoop more enemies into it if you're out of position and have energy to burn. Tidal Surge also bypasses laser fences, which is situational but nice.

Baro Ki'teer? In my Strata relay?

It's more likely than you think

Primed Point Blank and Primed Pistol Gambit are a must, but then again so are the Prisma cleavers. This is also more than likely the last werk the Solstice syandana is going to be available until next year, so this is going to be a difficult week if you're short on ducats.

If you already have them, Prisma Obex is fun on a speedframe like Nezha, and the palette doesn't appear very often. If you have ducats to spare however, buy extra Primed Point Blanks and sell them on trade next week.

I am insane and have lost all hope, so am buying the Primed Morphic Transformer because it's there and I don't have it yet.

Because of some underlying OCD tendencies, I grinded out Equinox. I then shortly after went to Neptune for the first time.

I've just been jumping and then helicoptering every time i'm travelling on either the plains or vallis. People in the PC thread have been saying how you can just grind one rail for ages and max your rep in five minutes, but grinding is awful on console because you have to somehow jump with x and turn with the right stick. If I had a third thumb maybe, but it just doesn't seem possible.

In the meantime, just do a ollie. Lots of them.

Ever since I played Titanfall I’ve forever kept jump on a trigger button. Made Destiny more fun and I think it helps a lot in this game too, especially the way bullet-jumping works.

Just got started with Warframe on PS4 and the ranged weapons seem really hard to control, even with aim assistance turned on. Shooting aerial enemies is an exercise in frustration. Any tips on customizing the controls or do I just need to “git gud”? I’ve played a lot of Destiny 1/2 and this seems much harder to aim and stay on target.

Bobby Deluxe

I find strafe aiming on Warframe much easier. Practice on lower level grineer or infested, but basically you aim near the enemy with the look controls, and then strafe your character to move the reticle over them.

DE are from the older generation of devs and their controls feel more like an old PS2 era game, when developers were still getting used to the idea of having two thumbsticks. I remember the days when there was no kind of autoaim at all, and strafe aiming was almost a necessity.

Also yeah, the guns are not going to feel as good coming from Destiny - for all its faults, Destiny 1 & 2 had crazy fun gun feel, especially the bows.

E: aerial enemies are janky and you're probably going to need to go full auto on them, especially the dargyns on the plains. They're also affected really badly by lag.

I guess I've always just been comparing Destiny 2 pre-Forsaken to Warframe with proper mods, and found Warframe downright better than D2 at almost everything except easing you in.

*note I never played Warframe PvP, but pre Forsaken Mayhem was the only Destiny 2 PvP that resembled fun.

Alright, thanks. Strafing is what I’ve been doing for the most part. Do you recommend turning down the sensitivity on look/aim or movement? That was the other thing that was jarring to me.

The amount of things to learn can be a little overwhelming but I feel like I’m doing ok. It’s a little frustrating getting blueprints and not having the necessary materials, and then having to figure out where to get them. But I’ve opened up Venus and Mars, managed to somehow get a little floating companion that shoots things and boosts my shield, etc. And I’ve seen some higher level players that can do really cool things, which I’m looking forward to.

Yeah there's a lot of cool stuff from second dream and war within.
The only thing I didn't like was how much it sets the tenno and lotus up as heroes of the solar system. Especially the post war within stuff really scales back the amorality. I kinda liked the idea of lotus as a rogue ai that's setting up these adventures so her psychic murder machine surrogate children can dream of being heroes -which second dream and some of the lead ups like natah dropped hints at. Regardless of the actual conditions of the solar system that spoiler is mostly about tonal stuff, including post war within content. But only directly spoils second dream as a quick fyi
