If you go melee a lot anyway, put link health and link armour mods on the pet, plus pack leader. One hit with your melee weapon should get your pet to full health.

I don't want to agree with angry pickle man, but yes gently caress railjack. The best part is due to the catchup mechanics a missed weekly is going to be missed forever due to having a queue of railjack blocking a doable queue of other stuff. NW was my favorite thing from 2019 and I was stoked enough at a new one to come back. Seeing it being used as a way to force their lovely new mode... it ain't great.

I used to be excited when DE would bolt on some weird new game mode, like fishing or shawzin hero or Tenno Hawk Pro K-Drive, but between railjack and liches I've come to the conclusion that maybe they need to just make new tilesets and maybe some new mission nodes. They have a sorta neat Sentient* tileset that's entirely wasted because NOBODY LIKES RAILJACK. *they say it's Sentient, but to me it looks like a discarded Diablo 3 asset, but eh, it's not Yet Another Grineer Galleon, so I'll take it.

Railjack needs a little more polish but the recent update made nothing but positive changes, such as homogenizing the railjack mods, reducing enemy DR (imo they over-nerfed enemies, they're *too* squishy), and overall made it more accessible to drat near everyone. I'm hoping DE adds more missions and objective variety in the future. Love it or hate it, this is a huge step up from some of DE's other, less successful ideas (defection, infested salvage, conclave, etc.).

The link mods just add a percentage of your Warframe's health/armour/shield to your pet. A high armour frame gives a much higher armour value than the normal armour mod could. And pack leader is life steal, but with the incredibly high damage melee does just a few percent of life steal add up to more than the total health of a pet. Link health and link shields become hilarious when you are playing a frame with lots of health or shield respectively, like Inaros or Hildryn.

Acht posted:-I'm grinding something called Focus for my school. Do I just save it up to 25.000 so I can buy my first "point" in the tree? - Yes. And once you've done that, you can choose to invest further into that skill to max it out or open up other skills in the tree to put points into. Choose wisely, it takes time to get Focus, unless you really like Onslaught. - NW Dailies don't give you as much points as the weeklies and aren't required to get to the max tier. Do them if you find them fun is my advice. It's easy to switch to say Gas damage for a few missions. - NW was among other things a way to give people who've completed everything in the game something to do. If you've stuff to do already, it's ignorable. - Infestations: Do you mean Nightmare missions? Or Defection/Hive? Answer is the same: they all have some unique stuff in their drop tables you'll eventually want to have. Grinding those missions for specific drops is one way to get those things. But trading had the highest drop rates, so start doing that too if you haven't. - Onslaught gives you a lot of affinity, so you can grind mastery and focus efficiently.

Ah that makes sense, Onslaught to grind affinity and focus. Seems I'm mostly on the right track in what I am running and doing. Think I also need to check up on Steel Meridian. Apparantly I can get some neat stuff from there, and I have the sigil on my frame to farm it up (followed the first few episodes of iFlynn's beginner guide). I like all these different things the game lets you work on simultaneously. Weapons are a bit weird at times; Broken War with it's high crit and build-in Forma blows all melee weapons I've gather so far out of the water. I'm sure that will change further down the road.

Acht posted:Ah that makes sense, Onslaught to grind affinity and focus. I didn't answer your direct question. Normal onslaught drops Khora parts and that's a very good frame to have. ESO is a better focus farm, but the vandal parts it drops are not worth grinding for - the drop rates are in the bullshit range. The wiki is a very good place to look up drops and rewards. https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Sanctuary_Onslaught#Rewards Re: Broken War. It's a very good weapon. Melee in this game has more build variety than primary/secondary weapons and it got more so after the recent Melee 3.0 rework. You may want to look up some videos on melee builds eventually. No hurry if you have other stuff to do, playing with builds is legit endgame fun stuff. XandyPants has some good videos post melee rework on the new builds it made possible. Basically, at some point after you complete the star chart and start getting into Arbitrations and other end game stuff, it's worth looking up some of the mechanics either on youtube or the wiki.

Acht posted:Ah that makes sense, Onslaught to grind affinity and focus. Do take all beginner guides with a pinch of salt. Time flows, things change. Some people are just dumb, etc. Looking up how stuff actually works, especially once you've done Second Dream (and maybe War Within) is often better. So when you have time and mood/brainpower looking up stuff on the wiki can be handy so you know why that advice was given and why you might ignore the advice. And yeah, quest stuff comes with a free potato in it, and usually some polarities so it's better out of the gate. And I guess finally just a reminder than the only thing Warframe unlocks is more Warframe. So when it gets tiring and annoying, flip it the bird.

- try the zenurik school first, it's the best school for beginners, very forgiving and gives you a lot of energy so you can keep up your abilities. You can always swap later -yes, they're frequently extremely easy challenges that can be done in one or two missions. As a beginner you really want to do as much as nightwave as you can because there's tons of extremely useful rewards, but also mods that you can get through the store. Get the aura mods as many as you can, but especially corrosive projection, steel charge, rejuvenation, and the damage amps. The rest are up to you. -you should start thinking about corrupted vault runs. These corrupted mods are usually absolutely necessary for many builds and will give you a massive power boost. You can solo runs pretty easy with wukong, but it might be better or faster with a group. But do these runs ASAP

Note : Damage Amp auras are as close to worthless as possible because all your +damage % add together and then apply. Rejuvenation is... mostly bad? Especially if you join the clan and get Team Health Restore bp off the lab. (Hotkeying your first 12 gear slots to F1 to F12 canbe handy, though obviously steam overlay and such might fight over some of them.) Corrosive Projection and Energy Siphon are both handy. Steel Charge is only really useful because it's fatter and those increases your max capacity by a fraction. More importantly, you can get them all off clannies. Don't waste your NW bucks on them when you might need it for BPs and Nitain that you cannot trade for. The gold mods in the NW store are weird quirky PvP mods that are being released into PvE, so are mostly niche or lol. Tylana fucked around with this message at 14:35 on May 25, 2020 |

That being said, the eight missions is the least of my concern. I do animal capture and tons of other crap I'd never do if there wasn't a NW objective without grumbling too much. The two ones in my queue, specifically artillery and a boarding party, you're not going to get as the pubbie railjacks I've been on destroy everything without any group involvement and spin around like a top. There's been plenty of objectives I've ditched in the past, specifically the ones that require preforms, but that was like 2-3 objectives for the entire season instead of one a week.

The NW weekly for 8 railjack missions doesn't mean it has to be veiljack. You can do the piss easy intro missions with 30-40 fighters and two crews hips which can be entirely disabled now by blowing their three engines in about 5 mins per mission. It takes longer to get out and board than it does to fire the forward artillery twice and murder all the fighters, really. Plus it's 7k rep, on par with the other 7k this week which is a 30m survival. Similar time spent, similar reward. This isn't that bad as the 60m kuva survival bullshit that NW series 1 hit us with.

Not sure what kind of pubbies you play with but if somebody is constantly behind the wheels the other 3 can do literally anything else and you'll be fine. The greatest danger is the host because either their ship just sucks or the connection is so bad you get stuck in the void.

he one design shortcoming of RJ that I don't see overcome by adding more context is that only one player takes his stuff to the mission. Now, obviously if you grind out max stats for your equipment you want to take it out for a spin and if you don't then you probably don't much care for the game mode and have little idea how to contribute. Though as things stand you really only need two players for maximum efficiency, with the additional two slots for people chilling in the side turrets.Tylana posted:Corrosive Projection and Energy Siphon are both handy.

I gave Iretep 6 corpros because they ran out while I'd been sitting on a dozen since NW intermission 1 because I was apparently never on when newbies were asking for mods. Not like there was anything else to spend NW creds on as a vet. Used to be aura mods were from alerts like Nitain, so you just semi-passively gained them, unless DE's scheudule hated you, which is why that system was bad. And yeah. Nothing wrong with buying or farming up stuff. But ask around first (and then if you want to be really nice, farm up one to pass on later.) On a similar note, remember you don't need a role to +3 up in chat to get a group for something. But if you want help getting past something that is hard saying "I could do with help beating this Hijack" frex is a lot more likely to get you something than "Does anyone want to do Hijack?"

To put it into perspective, without the 25% faster forge speed upgrade it takes ~ 2 minutes and 45 seconds for a forge cycle to complete, and we were doing these things so fast last night that I was steadily falling behind throughout.

I remember your situation with this and totally agree that rail jack needs more variety before I'll consider it actually good. But those rj missions that are just killing fighters and crew ships with no extra objectives can be done faster than spy and rescue missions, this does however kind of sort of require three people though. I'm a fan of how rail jack is being set up but not putting in even the slimmest version of the command intrinsics tree for people who have constant connection issues is p bad. But those are really my only two gripes with current rail jack: it needs to at least have content that almost matches the base game modes, and in this game with constant odd network issues they need to accommodate solo play. Luckily they definitely know this, unfortunately I think command intrinsics are even further away than new rj misssion modes.

Railjack is fun as hell to pilot. I love zooming through the void in my big fat space boat, instantly shattering entire squads of fighters with my dumb flashy abilities, then watching my friend one-shot crewships with a giant laser death beam. I love space-ramming through asteroids. I even like joining the occasional pub mission where some poor idiot has brought their no-avoinics scrub-tier shitboat to Saturn, and as soon as I warp in everything is on fire and there's a hull breach and then busting my rear end to save them despite their suicidal piloting and hilarious incompetence. What it really needs are actual challenges, because all the missions are utterly trivial. It could also use replacing the 10 or so intrinsic bonuses that are totally worthless with something cool, and actual interesting choices for ship customization (that would need to be paired with different challenging mission types and enemies). Someday, it will get there, but for now, it's fine. If you're shedding tears of blood and rage because completing 8 missions and firing a cannon once are on the weekly list, just ask in clan/alliance chat because there's dozens of goons with decked out jacks who can grind out 8 missions in Gian Point in about as long as the single 30 min survival mission. All they need is someone who can make point-blank shots into ship engines with the artillery and someone to sit in front of the refineries and click "more dome charges" in between watching videos from their favorite youtube channel on ducks.
