Go for maximum insurance. Gara, Frost, min range Limbo and I guess Trinity to keep everyone's energy up? Or Ivara so Gara can cast from a tripwire above the target and enemies can't get over the wall.

I've been playing Frost Prime a lot, soloing Fissures.

Yeah, next time I’ll bring a different frame. I grabbed Mesa in a hurry but wish I had brought something with more utility.

I'm fairly certain the objective got hit with a few stray bullets combined with corpus damage scaling working the way it is. Sorry about the rage quit but after doing it once and not getting credit and a bizarre failure I was done for the night.

Nah the rage quit was totally understandable. I was just expecting my shield osprey to have pulled its weight a little harder. I assumed me being an annoying goon and jumping in your bullet path played a part in the rage too.

Oh yeah, I don’t blame you; I was already feeling salty after not getting credit the first time.

We did get a few good Garfield-related jokes out of it, so not a total wash.

About that defense mission...

quote:

Greetings, Tenno!

The Nightwave Elite Weekly that required 40 waves of Defense has been swapped with ‘Kill 100 Eximus’ after we received bug reports of the 40 waves not counting in Orokin Derelict Defense.

If you experienced this bug while trying to complete the Defense weekly, we're sorry for the serious frustration this caused. We’ve reviewed other challenges as well to help prevent something like this from happening again. We appreciate your patience as we work to iron out any bugs, issues, and inconsistencies in the Nightwave system. We’re also actively reviewing feedback to improve Nightwave overall; please add your feedback here:

Hah. And to think that yesterday’s sortie was an Eximus stronghold. What’s the best way to fight a lot of Eximus enemies - ESO?

On the plus side, I got a bunch of mutagen samples from the Derelict defense.

Today’s 3rd sortie is an Eximus stronghold, but since it’s an assassination you probably won’t kill too many.

Ugh, cracked open 10 radiant relics last night hoping to get Zephyr Prime's blueprint and rolled all commons. :smith: Anyone got a spare blueprint they'd be willing to trade?

Oh well, at least I got a couple of systems and neuroptics for some other Prime frames out of it.

I asked about stat sticks where a weapon's numbers are used by a frame's abilities and it seems that while they no longer apply to exalted weapons, they do apply to the 1 for each of Atlas, Excalibur, Gara, Khora, and Wukong.

The weapon's innate stats don't matter at all, but Mire and Venka Prime's specials are taken into account. The mods are what matter, but check the wiki for which mods work and which don't. Simple version is that damage, physical, elemental, augments, and rivens affect the ability but mods like Condition Overload don't come into play.

I'm on PS4, PSN is ButtCollege.

Edit: Aw shoot. I'm still new to the game so I didn't realize that there were MR requirements to trading until someone clued me in. Thought it would sit in your inventory/forge until you're high enough MR to craft it, like the other blueprints you get from relics. Only MR 5, so I don't think I'd be able to trade for Zephyr Prime's blueprint.

I am not struggeling to get through Ember Prime, but I am definitely not enjoying it. I remember seeing a video with a fun melee build for her, need to go find that again because world on fire is boring and kind of annoying to run.

Why can't all frames be as fun as Excal Umbra, Saryn Prime and Limbo :smith:?

They gutted Ember, I'm still mad about it. It was an impressively bone-headed and transparently anti-low level farming move that showed they clearly didn't give a poo poo about her being viable and only about slowing player progress and listening to whiners on Reddit.

The new two-handed nikana, Tatsu, is pretty fun.

Hopefully she will get a re-work in the foreseeable future.

So the anniversary weapons come out tomorrow. Any or them worth juicing up?

So I deleted my Warframe data, hoping I could redownload on the new memory card I got. But unlike any of the other games that I have done this with, there’s no ‘Warframe - 0.0mbs’ file in my data management now. Did I just lose the thirtybux I spent on this game? Is everything kept on Warframe servers? I’m so afraid I pressed something wrong and deleted my persistent data by accident and I’m too scared to re-install just to find out.

Man, I straight up don’t think it’s possible to outright delete a warframe account. People have gone on three year hiatuses and just had to ask customer service to reactivate he account

Just reinstall, throw in the login info, and you should be good to go.

I tried this, and honestly just felt like I had wasted an hour re-downloading the 25gb of warframe, plus its a royal pain in the rear end to force the switch to put something on the system memory instead of the SD card.

YMMV, but there's a decent chance it's more effort than it's worth.

You can request that customer service delete your account, at least last time I checked.

This would be useful for me if they ever let us migrate to PC so I could delete my lovely MR PC account.

Popping back into Warframe after a fling with Destiny and a train accident with Anthem. I got a 50% off coupon right off the bat and figure I'll buy one of the new frames. Is there an obvious choice on which of the frames released in the last 6 months or so to get?

Also, please re-add to clan. PSN: barren_sky

If you’re low rank on fortuna syndicates, the clear answer is hildryn. The boss that drops her parts just got released yesterday and her bp is rank 2 vox solaris which requires rank 5 fortuna.

They said in a previous devstream they weren't going to do an auction house, but I guess things might have changed with the stuff on the PC market.

Plug in a USB keyboard and use that for chat, works on both PS4 and Xbox, in game and out of game. If cable length is an issue use a wireless keyboard that comes with it's own USB dongle. These things are basically PCs and they will use a keyboard (and mouse) without any problems ;)

They seem to think that both special channels increase player interaction and are therefore a good thing for the game: trading and recruiting. I think both suck without a keyboard with that virtual cursor navigation making it worse. Switch is particularly bad since the keyboard takes up the whole screen and it's common to be slow typing a message to your squad post mission and find that they disbanded and you've sent your message to clan/relay/dojo/anywhere else instead.

I'd love to see DE do two things to make better trading possible: first, allow sites like Market to integrate with the game by allowing messages into the game and fetching in-game presence from the game. The biggest problem with Market right now is actually contacting the seller/buyer if they're not online, so allow Market to bridge that gap if the player allows that access. Second, allow for offline messaging in the game using that email inbox we all have, so a "WTB Blaze" message from the Market can be read the next time they're online.

It'll never happen, but that would make Market so much easier to use.
