I'm currently using a hammer for my melee weapon, with the Motherwrench skin and the lower back holster style. On my profile screen, it clips through my operator and makes it look like I've got a flaming codpiece.

I feel that Ember, like Hildryn, is one of the frames that I'm always casting abilites in mid-air. Like I'd bullet jump through a room, and while holding r-click to maintain air momentum, I will press an ability key so I play the cast animation while I'm still gliding through the air. Aka, something that helps me run fast won't be that useful.

Leaving persistant trails of fire everywhere to further boost and be fed into by her passive is good for me.

TheParadigm posted:did him yesterday. What? corpro doesn't work on lephantis, since it only has health, not any sort of armor. Corrosive damage does do 75% more to infested fossilized flesh but the proc doesn't do anything. A better build would be fitting primed infested damage mods onto accurate, high-damage or fast firing guns and any other beneficial aura for the loadout, because you're not going to get any benefit from corpro unless you're planning on fighting a level 130+ juggernaut before reaching lephantis, which would probably not be the best use of time in that mission.

Nova slow also makes a huge difference on sortie/SP lephantis. If for nothing else it makes the window you can deal dmg greater. It's the difference between a 15 min kill and a 2-4 min kill, I find. Nova/Titania. If you're looking for a third option, I would suggest Gauss, as his 100% ROF Redline ability comes in handy too, but you'll be zipping around a lot. Got a few questions about Khora, what are you guys running for survivability on SP missions with khora? I'm using Adaptation and Venari Bodyguard, but I still seem to die to Corpus who have a loving 1000% accuracy on all their shots for some reason.

https://steamcharts.com/app/230410#All Warframe's all-time greatest number of Steam players was after this last Tennocon. 154K players. Previous high was 2018's Tennocon at 131K. Dunno why this one inspired more people to log back in than last years though for me it was that they were adding more spaces for old-fashioned frame-based gameplay, whereas RJ didn't enthuse me with its new AW/RJ gametypes. That they seem more focused on quality of release is another reason I wanted to get back in. Quit playing partly due to the buggy Lich/RJ releases and the more grindy numbers for those initial releases. E: The RJ Tennocon barely moved the needle in terms of concurrent Steam players, stands out even more when you compare to '17, '18, and this year. I guess a lot of folks weren't enthused by the hype - of which there was quite a lot last year, much of it yet to be released. E2: I distinctly remember Steve saying in the '18 Tennocon or soon after that they were done with adding new open worlds after Fortuna. I wonder if they took RJ's lukewarm reception as a reason to go back to adding more to see if that's what excites people. The graphs show all three open world Tennocons as their peak concurrent players. v1ld fucked around with this message at 17:29 on Aug 6, 2020 |

to be fair RJ's lukewarm reception could easily be due to 1) it kind of sucks and 2) it only kind of looks like what they showed during tennocon and that disappointed a lot people who expected cool poo poo like being able to call your RJ from the ground, there being all kinds of cinematic moments like dome charging the fleet ship, Kuva Lich tie-ins, etc. Also we still don't have the command intrinsic lol focusing this year's tennocon on stuff that isn't completely fake and absolutely will not launch in a state that resembles the demos (or even launch at all) was a good move. I'd have been fine if Deimos was another couple of months away even, as long as they made it clear this is what we're actually getting this time. also just found out that my waframe and twitch accounts weren't linked, but only on twitch's side?? Following the "link your accounts!" process took me to warframe's page that said my accounts were linked and good to go, but checking twitch's connection page did not have warframe. Thankfully they're sending out all of the tennocon rewards to everyone who logged in that day, but I might have to message support about the recent Khora part drops.

But is that why people didn't log back into Warframe after Tennocon though? Deimos is yet to roll out but people liked TC20 well enough to log back in huge numbers whereas they didn't do that after TC19's RJ hype. Maybe it was just the huge hype presentation last year too, right after Liches were a buggy and grindy mess. quote:focusing this year's tennocon on stuff they isn't completely fake and absolutely will not launch in a state that resembles the demos (or even launch at all) was a good move. I'd have been fine if Deimos was another couple of months away even, as long as they made it clear this is what we're actually getting this time. This was big for me, yeah. I hope the new syndicates aren't overtuned to be extra grindy for all you hardened 5-year vets and us more casuals have to wait another 6 months before they inevitably re-tune it. Have to say I'm hugely enjoying being back in the game, a feeling I know will lessen as soon as I engage with any of the daily standing limits in the game, ugh. Did an hour and a half+ of unsuccessful grind for the Acceltra last night and came away happy because I love the core gameplay of this game so much. The pub squad even stuck it out for an hour the second time and it was fun taking on tougher Demolysts. Didn't care that the BP didn't drop as the gameplay was fun. BMan posted:Pre-grinding for the mouth? Some of it, yeah. But it's more players than they've ever had on Steam before so there's probably a large chunk of new players too.

I have to imagine part of the player uptick is because of a combination of things: - Everyone's either stuck at home, has less income, or both right now, so a f2p game scratches a couple itches at once - WoW is in the end-of-expansion lull and probably a couple months out from any sort of pre-patch event, so there's really nothing going on there - FF14's next big patch isn't for another week yet So right now if you're like me and want a good podcast-backlog online game, Warframe is looking mighty fine.

It shows which Twitch account is linked at the bottom of that account page. I had to double check since I have both Switch and PC accounts. I sent one of the early Twitch promos (Vectis Prime) to the PC account by mistake though I was playing on Switch at the time.

That's what got me to reinstall and login too - so that strategy obviously worked. I didn't even know of the in-game relay till the TC stream started and installed the game as the stream was going on and here I am, putting a couple hours a day this week. That they timed it for a good lull as Chernobyl Peace Prize suggests probably contributes a lot too.

dertylol posted:As someone who used to play a lot but hasn't played since the big bug boss on fortuna was a thing. where should i go, or what should i do to catch up ? i tried figuring it out a few days ago and got so completely lost Which one? There's two now lol. If you're trying to catch up on frames/weapons: Hildryn and Baruuk and their weapons are available through Vox Solaris, the same faction that deals with Profit Taker, the first big bug. they are both extremely good and fun. Wisp came with the Jupiter tileset rework, there's a quest tied to it too where you kill the new boss (Ropalolyst) that drops her parts. They also introduced Amalgam mods, which are weird combo mods and some of them give specific weapons new abilities. Most of them suck but there's a few gems. Wisps' weapon, the Fulmin, is an infinite ammo assault rifle that turns into a shotgun and it's really loving good and you get the BP from the market. Gauss is tied to the Jupiter tileset rework, and the special material to craft his frame and weapon parts (Hexanon) can be gathered on any node there. The actual parts for his frame are from the new game mode introduced with Wisp, Distruption, specifically the one on Kelpie, Sedna. his weapons drop on Ur, Uranus, but not as missions rewards, but as rare drops from the special Demolyst enemies you kill as part of game mode. They are both fully automatic rocket launchers, and yes they are as good as this sounds. Grendel is a big boy sumo ogre who eats people and loving rules, and can be gathered by running special mod-less missions for his parts, the locators for which can be purchased from the Abitration store. his 2H Sword is a dojo bp Protea is the newest frame who can do a weird time travel zippy Tracer ult and summon an ammo replenisher, closely tied to the Corprus Fleet tileset rework, and her BP is earned through Deadlock Protocol, the new quest. It adds a new game mode you summon inside of a corprus fleet mission where you use coins to kill a bunch of ghost nerds, you'll do it during the quest. You get Protea parts, and the parts for the Stahlta railgun, the Strohpa gunblade, and the Velox machine pistol in there as well. Jackal got a rework during this time too, and he drops the BPs for the Stahlta and the Strohpa. Also, primes in the time since you've been gone: Equinox (stradavar, tipedo) Wukong (zhuge, ninkondi) Atlas (tekko dethcube) Ivara (baza, aksomati) Titania (corinth, pangolin) Inaros (karyst, panthera) Nezha's next.

dertylol posted:As someone who used to play a lot but hasn't played since the big bug boss on fortuna was a thing. where should i go, or what should i do to catch up ? i tried figuring it out a few days ago and got so completely lost pt. 2 As for game mechanics, shortly after Vox Solaris came out, they gave certain warframe's signature weapons actual abilities that buff the weapons when used with that warframe. For example, if using harrow, the knell gets two shots instead of one. They've also done more with the melee rework, melee is extremely good right now. They also made a major change to how AoE weapons work, which you can see me crying about here. Also, very recently, they completely removed stabilization from kavats and kubrows, they work just like sentinels now as far as taking up space. As for game modes, Railjack... exists. It's one of those updates that's basically its own content island again, but you can get a cool new assault rifle and 2h nikana from killing the bosses on its nodes. I'm not going into the specifics of railjack because there's a lot, you can probably find a video on it. This is also how you get the Shedu, a giant sentient arm cannon; they made the quest something you can just activate from you codex (it used to be a secret from breaking a specific object on a specific node in the Railjack Veil Proxima with your Paracesis), but you still have to do the Sentient Anomaly missions to grind for its parts. It's an okay weapon. Your clan dojo needs a railjack dock to start making it, then you do a series of missions while building parts, like a warframe quest. They also added a new game mode called the Steel Path, where you get to do the star chart over again but every enemy is level 100+ and they all have 2.5x the amount of HP, Shields, and Armor. It's not a new end-game or anything, the rewards are entirely cosmetic and it's a hell-grind getting the materials for them all lol did I miss anything e: oh there was some times stuff you missed out on, the beach event came back and there was this big event called Operation Scarlet Spear or whatever where they showed off the Squad Link for the first time since telling everyone you'd use it with railjack at tennocon lol. No, Squadlink is not used for anything else yet. I think, besides some cosmetic stuff like sigils and some shortcuts to getting good arcanes, the only weapons you missed out on are a Lacera varient and a weird gun called the Basmu but barro will have those in his inventory at some point probably.

BMan posted:kuva liches lmao I actually had a big paragraph on them and I deleted it on accident Kuva Liches are a system you can get into after completing The War Within in which you summon a special juiced up grineer who annoys the poo poo out of you and steals your resources. I think you get the parazon in your mailbox??? But this is what it's for. You start it by murdering a larvaling in grineer missions (cassini, saturn is the go-to spot for these), and then the larvaling tells you what weapon it's going to spawn with when you execute it, and then depending on what warframe you execute it with, it spawns with an appropriate element with an elemental weapon to match, and as either a Male Kuva Lich with one (1) personality variant, or a Female Kuva Lich with one (1) personality variant. Each lich has a set of abilities, some weaknesses and immunities, possibly an ephemera (still not convinced these actually exist), and they take over a planet on the star chart. There are like 20 different weapons, most of them variants of existing grineer weapons with slightly different mechanics, but there's some new good ones. The Chakurr is a flintlock explosive rifle, the Shildeg is a hammer, the Kuva Ogris is now semi-auto, etc. They're all pretty good. Some of them, like the Kuva Nukor and the Kuva Bramma (an artillary bow) are really good. So anyway now the horrible grind begins. You farm Murmurs by killing Thralls, which are mini versions of the lich that spawn in any node that lich has control of. You beat the node, it pisses the lich off, rinse and repeat until they show up and you beat their rear end. When you drain one of their health bars, they'll kneel and you'll try and execute them with your parazon, which is hopefully modded out with Requiem Mods, which you get from Requiem Relics, which you get rarely from thralls or way more commonly from Kuva Siphon missions. There's 8, you have to guess the three you need, and the order they need to be in. Murmurs fill up a bar that will tell you what Requiem Mod you need, eventually telling you all three, but not the order. The game tracks your guesses and you can see your history in the lich menu next to the nightwave bar. If you guess one right, it remembers and you don't need to fill that Murmur bar. If you fail, they kill you instead, and then they spread their influence to another nearby planet and they + their thralls + their node become more difficult. Also, killing a lich gets you WAY more murmurs than killing a thrall, and it doesn't have to be your lich or thralls to get murmurs. Squad up for lich missions. So you kill the lich (getting back everything they stole from you), you can finish them off and get their weapon, or you can spare them and they'll show up at random (extremely) rarely in the middle of your mission to help you out, usually long after you've completed the objective and you're on the way to the exit. Spared liches can also be traded to other players who may be missing that weapon or whatever. You can smash duplicate weapons together to improve their elemental percentage or change their element. Liches are a boring grind for the most part but their weapons are really good. They can all be formed 5 times to improve their level to 40, like the paracesis, which is cool. v1ld posted:Status now stacks. Also this, Status can go over 100% now, and I'm not sure when they made this change but I assume it was relatively recently, but IPS procs are no longer favored over elemental procs, which kind of nerfed Slash builds a bit but seems to have been a net gain for everything else. They also changed how some elements work; heat strips armor now, electricity chains, gas is useless, etc. Tylana posted:Melee 2.99999987420smokeweederryday too. And this, I briefly touched on it in my second post but what this actually is, is they changed how the combo mechanics and stances work. Now as you build your combo multiplier, your damage goes up, and you can spend it on heavy attacks (middle mouse button) to do a bunch of damage all at once. Stances got normalized across the board and should make a little more sense, input-wise. Also as far as reworks go, Wukong got a major one and he went from broked to yoked, nukong is really good. Vauban got a rework and he's okay, which is a gigantic step up from his previous incarnation, really bad. Ember got a rework too but I don't ever really play Ember so I can't comment on it; I hear she's still good but there's mixed feelings on her new overheat bar.
