I've gone against what I normally do and haven't read spoilers with regards to The War Within, so I know I'm in for some sort of big surprise or something. Looking forward to it! I've only done the first mission so far, so I'm going to try and clear Earth and Venus next. Edit: also, I don't think I understand Nightwave Intermissions. Are they just story cutscenes?

They're weekly challenges and completing them unlocks a series of rewards. There have been two story seasons so far, but it's currently on intermission--so just the challenges, no ongoing story element until series 3 starts, I would guess in the new year?

Also the big surprise is in the Second Dream, War Within just rounds off the story and gives you an extra bit you need to do all of the Plains stuff.

No, DE hasn't repeated them yet - dunno if they ever will. They're not major story arcs, just a slide with voice over every so often during a season. In general, special event stories don't seem to repeat in Warframe.

I am already hooked with this game, and I haven't even scratched the surface yet, holy poo poo. Edit: is it dumb that I, for right now, prefer to play alone? I know the game is online only, but I was in a mission with others and it just got all weird, the mission ended early, and I got no rewards. That hasn't happened yet while I'm doing solo stuff.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:Can I, in-game, get caught up with the stories? If you are referring to the Nightwave, if you go to the radio and choose “tune in” you can replay the cutscenes. If you’re referring to the wider story of the game told in temporary events, unfortunately not currently, although DE seems to eventually want to be able to bring them back in some form. I wish they would reconfigure old events as quests tbh, it would serve the dual purpose of explaining to new players what is happening and tutorializing some of the more esoteric modes and systems.

I don't really know what happened there unless the mission failed. It's fine to play solo for a while. You'll be able to handle it, learn enemies, and learn tile sets. Just know that you can be very very mobile in this game with bullet jumping and double jump rolling, hard swapping directions in mid air, etc. Playing with other will let you see how they move and how fast you can barrel through a mission. Sometimes thats what everyone is going to be doing because you're all trying to complete a mission three times for an invasion, for example. Other times people will simply kill things so fast that you'll need to catch up or want to jump ahead. It's good to know how to gofast. But playing solo is still fine, there's a lot to learn and some of it comes in the form of simply getting familiar with the layout of things.

Yes: when you're in the star chart or options menu, there's a drop down top-left (or triangle on ps4) that lets you choose from solo, invite only, friends only, and public. Set it to whatever you're in the mood for that mission.

I'd just like to be clear in that I'm not against playing with others eventually, especially goons (yay Solar Whales  ), but I'd like to get more of my bearings first, and at least clear out the first bunch of quests on my own without the dual joys of "k1lld0ze311_4eva"* and "queefing_briefly"* zipping past my head, taking out enemies I hadn't even seen yet. Also, right now my internet sucks.*names are made up because I couldn't remember the real ones, but I have to admit that Queefing Briefly might make an ok SA username.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:Oh my god, perfect. And that's fine. For boss fights you will probably want to go public, just to farm their drops more quickly and make things easier on yourself, but I was the same way when I started. And I still sometimes just grab a bow and stealth-solo a level or two for some peace and quiet (and syndicate medallions.)

Man, this whole time (actually, I've only got like ~4.5 hours logged), I thought that I had to keep going with the quests immediately, one after another, and kept getting my rear end handed to me even with the easiest bounty from that bald guy on Cetus. Yeah, so I just tried an elimination mission on Mariana, and beat it no problem. Welp, I know what I'll be doing for the next little while. Also, how do I initiate the training for mastery? I did one before, don't know if it was mandated through the Vor quest or not. I've looked all over for anything that will put me into that VR-like area, but can't find it. Thankfully, this game is getting less and less confusing by the minute, which is nice. Lastly, I'm very thankful for auto-mod distribution (for now).

I've looked all over for anything that will put me into that VR-like area, but can't find it. Your main source of mastery XP is leveling up weapons, Warframes, any piece of gear capable of leveling up, but only the first time you do so. That is, you'll get Mastery for leveling up your Braton, but if you get it to level 30, then buy another Braton, you won't get any mastery for that second Braton. Always, ALWAYS level gear up to 30 before you get rid of it. You also get mastery by clearing locations on your Star Chart for the first time, so clear out as many of those blue diamonds as you can.

I equipped 3 unranked weapons and headed into Hydron after the patch. There seems to be a bug where you don’t get any indication your stuff is leveling up. I quit after a few minutes and all the weapons were like level 16. That’s like 48 releases of dopamine I’m not getting back, DE!

Stick to Cetus during the day and the north / middle of the Fortuna map. Also the quests are not listed in the best order on the quest screen, I didn't get the stuff I needed for the doggo quest for example until much later. Continue unlocking the star chart until at least Uranus and the Natah quest, and make sure you do The New Strange as well.

I quit after a few minutes and all the weapons were like level 16. There's that bug, but also for some reason that mission gives insane bonus xp at the end. If you stay for fifteen minutes with four people, you'll easily rank 3 weapons to 30 and the Warframe to about 26

Bobby Deluxe posted:It still doesn't make this clear enough, but at night Cetus has enemies you can't kill until you finish War Within (technically you can kill them after Second Dream but just not very efficiently). Oh.... oh my god....  While not explaining why, this explains so much. But you know what? At least I have an explanation, though yes, they should definitely tell you this in-game (and if they did and I missed it, my bad). EDIT: RiffRaff1138 posted:You can only take one Mastery Rank Test a day. If you're ready to level up but don't have the option to take the test, as early in the game as you are, it's entirely possible a day hasn't passed since your last test. Once you've gained enough Mastery XP to gain a Mastery Rank level, (check your Profile to see how far your are from your next rank) there should be an option in the Start menu that says "Mastery Rank Up" which will take you right to it. Or, once you have access to a Relay, (which you might not at this point) you can go to any Relay and head to Cephalon Simaris's room, a.k.a. Sanctuary. There's a little curved stairway to the right with tubes allowing you to access the tests, whether to practice or do it for real. You can practice the next available test as many times as you like, so take advantage of that before doing it for real. Thanks for this info!

Quick Old Blood PSA: if you feel like your favorite melee is now bad, don’t worry they’re buffing some stuff in the next patch based on what happened on PC and also most melee is now better than it was, you just have to build differently. Also, the kuva lich grind is a pain on release and you can just ignore it if you want, it’s been patched to be easier on PC and that will also make its way to us Soon (tm).

Hey, how many digs do I need to complete in those excavation missions? Edit: nevermind, I hosed up and I missed the extraction point after the first dig.

So I've got my main account on PC and another on Switch. The switch one seems to find it really difficult to find groups. I know an insane amount of people own a switch nowadays, and this is a free game, so this should not be the case? I'm also getting an occasional "strict NAT" message when I log in, which if I ignore doesn't seem to make any difference to my ability to play online, or to play with my friend, but I wonder if that is somehow affecting my ability to find groups reliably. Are there any known issues with the switch when it comes to finding groups, and does that NAT message I'm getting have anything to do with my apparent difficulty getting into groups for popular missions like boss fights, Semenei etc?
