Now I'm kinda afraid to even wiki anything because I don't want to ruin other mission based stories just biased on how good this one was.

I stopped playing right after the Second Dream and started playing again a few weeks ago. While finishing the The War Within it seemed like I forgot about a lot of the lore in 2 years, or maybe I didn't pay attention to begin with, because I didn't really get the spoiler.

Some of it's because the story/junctions don't quite mesh up anymore, other times it's teasers and lines that seem like throwaways suddenly make more sense once you've seen other stuff. Like Second Dream stuff: Ordis's history is teased and referenced in second dream, but now you're more likely to do second dream long before doing enough scans/finding the codex easter eggs. You also do second dream before you get to the planet with Mutalist Alad V, so suddenly he's just a weird mutant for some reason, and everyon acts like you should know that, because the whole Mutalist story happened before Second Dream launched. Or War Within and Jordas/Infested bosses has The Worm specifically refers to your warframe as an 'infested puppet,' and there's also all the lines from infested bosses about you being of the same flesh. Her direct call out I didn't pick up on until I recently played through the star map again on ps4. I'm rather fond of the bits of story you pick up incidentally in item descriptions or lore dumps attached to frames in the codex.

It can take heat off my allies, but the key word there is can.

a few frames run into that whole problem of just being what some folks call a "weapon platform" where their abilities don't quite feed into anything more them feel too unique or fun to play on their own, even if they have a somewhat useful gimmick like "literally can never die" or require a very specific build and augment to be useful. Others are just 'meh' overall. I'm still glad they've gone back and made some previously worthless frames like the bird and hydroid cool. edit: also luckily most content is so under-tuned you can still run it with pretty much anything as long as you can fit the basic mods into your weapon and frame

I built a Nyx since it was the first frame I found all the parts for; and I feel like if you could spam her 1st ability she’d be a huge badass, but as far as I can tell that’s a no-go? I like dropping chaos and then mind controlling the nastiest unit and watching them wreck poo poo. But the bolts suck and if I can’t revive while I ultimate it’s not nearly as useful. I’ve only gotten to Jupiter and so far she can hang with all the missions I got, but she feels meh still. I’m much happier with my Volt default frame. But I did have to learn to be a lot sneakier cause she felt so very gimped at first. So now I’m better at spy missions.

Yes. Also fun is when everyone moves over to stay, then with 1 second to go, everyone moves to leave, splitting the group and leaving you to solo rounds 15-20 with a partially levelled frame. Or when the host leaves, three of you stay, and you lose everything anyway when the connection to the host drops. I really wish they'd indicate who's the host on the defence extract screen, so I could leave if they do.

Is this a thing that's been tested and confirmed on PC where I understand you can see who's the host? Behavior I've seen so far seems to indicate that only your own client tracks your rewards and not the host. When you're not host and you're kicked out the main menu for whatever reason, when you reconnect to that same squad/mission you lose everything you accumulated to the point you got kicked out even though the host hasn't changed and is still in the game. They could restore all your rewards if the host was tracking it when you reconnected.

I’m avoiding spoilers so just posting this here. Is there any trick to finding neurodes? I haven’t had issues with other resources at this point in the game. I do have an extractor I keep sending to Earth, but it’s never returned neurodes. Tried grinding Coba on a suggestion, but no luck yet. I’d like to build the Hek shotgun but I need a couple more neurodes.

They also drop from higher level enemies on the plains, but the drop rate is pretty low and you'll need a pretty robust build to survive the kind of fights where they frequently drop.

If not, pick the earth exterminate or capture missions, load your frame up with loot radar mods and hope you find the containers to get a couple.

Real talk: these Fortuna bounties are terrible. Really just wretchedly conceived and implemented. I seem to spend half my time running around a deserted map, full of utterly empty buildings, hoping for enemies to spawn. Really hope part 2 improves them, like, a lot.

I don’t do them anymore cause they’re not a good return on my time. I can max standing much more quickly by hunting down kubrodons. I’m pretty sure I got most of the drops during the rush to rank 5, I don’t feel like I’m missing anything at any rate

When I saw that Fortuna had an alert level to control how enemies spawn, first thought was hunting Juggies where you want to piss it off but it pisses off instead because you can't find enough infested to kill in time.

Kind of frustrating to have things gated behind this specific resource since it’s a pain in the rear end to get. A couple other random questions: 1) Last night I was running some lower-level missions (10-15), and a couple of times, level 35 mobs would storm in suddenly and just wreck me and some of the others. Would this be caused by a higher-level player being in the squad? Had no idea what spawned them as I’d never seen that before. 2) Is there a trick to the Archwing Rush mission that gates one of the junctions (Ludi?) My archwing just bumps around all over the place and I run out of time and the transports leave. Can’t access the junction unless I complete this irritating mission.

A buddy helps the most, since you'd have to do a bit of aw grinding to be able to damage the transport quickly enough or blow up the mines that slow you. The corpus aw map is rear end and even worse when you need to quickly move through it. Make sure to toggle into strafe mode instead of speed mode (where your wf stays 'upright' when you move instead of leaning forward) that controls a little better. And go into speed mode/boost only in straightways. But yeah AW really wasn't designed for controller play.

mentalcontempt posted: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. Turning down the sensitivity is recommended as probably the first thing you do on basically every platform. I think iFlynn is doing fresh 'new player info' series of videos on his youtube and in one of them he immediately turns the sensitivity down from the default 50 to 8. So definitely play around with that until you get something you like, you'll still want to be able to turn around quickly but you don't need a sensitivity that activates max motion blur on every small turn. The amount of systems and things to comprehend in this game is large. The list of unique/important nouns alone is probably pretty stupid. But it's kind of one of those things where as soon as you understand how various things work you kind of go 'well of course they work that way, anything else would really not make sense.' As far as gathering materials go, you can get clanmates or random players to taxi you to nodes and planets that you do not have access to yet, allowing them to bring a nekros to some place that drops neurodes, or take you to a boss that is highly likely to drop them. That little floating companion, Taxon, is a really good first sentinel to have and later on it's super weakass cold laser can have it's 'always procs a cold status on hit' mechanic exploited with Condition Overload to make having a Taxon a large single target damage buff. But hey, that's something to worry about later. CyberGeist posted:Been playing off and on for five years jumping between PC/PS4 and now Switch and just finished the quest. If you're interested you could safely wiki past events that aren't currently available, that will shed a little bit of light on even The Second Dream much less some of Warframe's cooler enemies. As for stuff in game, avoid reading about Chains of Harrow, Octavia's Anthem, War Within, and The Sacrifice. The Second Dream was my favorite quest both from a story and playthrough point of view, but the rest are still neat. Mesadoram posted:You are me both. Gotta say, I never played a game that had a character creator 40 loving hours in (<--- legit Second Dream spoiler). Now I really want to see what weird directions this story is going to go now. Oh buddy we are going places. If you've done War Within and Sacrifice, there is a trailer out there for The New War. Nyx without the recent update is honestly pretty bad. Chaos can still save a party's rear end when all the warcrime frames or even other CC frames somehow fail, I've definitely had sortie and the rare challenging alert missions completely saved by a Nyx's Chaos. But without the update that's all she has really, Mind Control is bad and Psychic Bolts is garbage and too many frames have better versions of Absorb. But after the update Mind Control is pretty alright if you can dump a ton of damage on a single target in a few seconds. Psychic Bolts becomes a very very powerful debuff skill, you can strip all armor and turn off eximus and ancient buffs with the same skill. Absorb is better but still not fantastic. mentalcontempt posted:Not at Lua yet, so I’ll try the other suggestions. Kind of frustrating to have things gated behind this specific resource since it’s a pain in the rear end to get. I guess I already addressed this but you can get clan mates to taxi you to missions you don't have access to yet, so they can take you to a planet or boss fight that is very likely to drop some neurodes or whatever you're looking for.

So... can’t use vapor specters or any such thing in nightmare mode defense, huh? Cool beans. I dropped a vapor specter in the beginning of the last wave, and he proceeded to turn around and gib me, then completely wreck the cryochamber. Good times. I’m having tons of fun on Saturn, but I cannot for the life of me beat the Kepler Archwing rush. Even if I get there in time to catch two of three transports, I can’t take them down quick enough. Do I really need to buff my mods, or should I be looking at different weaponry? I’ve been eyeing the Corvas. I’m not too enthralled with this Excalibur I picked up. Kinda wanna sell it and build a Nehza. No biggie, yah? I bought it half price in the store, so I figure I’m only losing a handful of plat since I got the frame slot with it. I figure, if I really regret it, it’s an easy farm; and I plan only buying more frame slots later anyways. Am I missing something or is it worth it to swap? This game has so much it’s hard to concentrate on grinding one thing. I’m really happy to be on Saturn though cause it has all the tasty goodies I’ve been needing to farm. When the clan finishes a pigment color, where do I get to access it?

However Excal is an exception since he has no Prime (it was a founders exclusive), and a later quest gives you a better version (the sacrifice). I'd still say keep him and read some guides on how to build and use him because he does have a useful kit. Nezha is better though, so definitely build him. I just wouldn't sell any frames. E: especially don't sell any frames you bought with plat - they come with a reactor, which doubles the amount of mod space they get when fully levelled.

I’ve been eyeing the Corvas. It may be your damage output, do you have most of the archwing weapon mods like +damage, +elemental damage etc. installed and maxed out? Like normal weapons, the mods make a significant difference to damage output for archwing. I've got spares on Xbox if you need any, on other platforms just ask in clan to see if anyone has some they can trade. Also if you need it unlocking just ask for some help in clan, MR20+ old farts are happy to taxi people around when we've got nothing better to do  Rama of Ra posted:I’m not too enthralled with this Excalibur I picked up.

I'd be tempted to say keep it, and just buy more slots anyway. You can never have too many slots. Also with a decent setup Excal is a great frame, like your archwing guns it may just be that you haven't maximised his potential due to a lack of mods. If it is Excal's gameplay aesthetics that are the issue for you then fair enough, but I still have my starter Excal hanging around. Once I've stuck a potato and a few forma into a frame, I'm loathe to part with it...

Right now plat on switch might not be as funky as the ps4 and xbox just because people were able to copy over their PC account, but unless the market winds up working much differently in terms of plat discounts, it's gonna dry up and be much more rare. If you were on PC and got him for 50-75% off you were roughly paying just the cost of a slot, and you'd easily make that up selling even garbo rivens. Also remember that frame you bought came with a preinstalled reactor.

it might just be me, but the PS4 market seems to have really picked up since xmas. Like, you can sell ayatans at 10p each if you're lucky, when you'd have struggled to get 5 for them before. People are just freer with their plat now, or so it seems. like I say, that's just what I've noticed, I could be wrong.

The more I start the understand this game, the more I realize how much I don’t know. I was reading something last night about ways to earn plat through trading. I guess you can sell Prime parts that you don’t need, like stuff from good relics, for plat? People were talking about selling them in bundles of five, to buyers who turn around and sell them for ducats. I’m not even sure how you’d sell a bundle of these things but I’m at a point where I’ll need plat to get more slots, and I am accumulating random Prime parts. And based on the post above, you can sell Ayatan... stars? Statues? I have a bunch of the stars but no statues. I’m also trying to figure out how to balance mod upgrades, since it increases the drain. E.g. is it better to level up certain mods (say health/shields/shield recharge) for your warframe, knowing that you may have to sacrifice some other mods because of limited capacity? And I understand you can use catalysts or reactors to expand mod capacity, but right now I only have one catalyst.
