 Nightmare Alert on PC for Blaze Shotgun mod. 34minutes remainingIt has a 1% chance reward for normal Nightmare mode so jump on it if you dont have it already. sockpuppetclock posted:At what point would I be considered 'ready' to go do Void missions or whatnot? If you've cleared Mercury you should be fine with Tower 1 missions, ask in clan chat if anyone wants in since they have ok rewards (and are tradeable now if you end up getting duplicates). Wouldn't reccomend soloing them unless your are anti-social though. Grobbit fucked around with this message at 13:33 on Feb 22, 2014 |

I have to disagree...Denzine posted:Target cap. Do not allow it to be recast until primed enemies are dead or de-primed. This leads to the annoying gameplay of "find that torso!" (or other enemy stuck in bumfucksville)so you can recast your ability! quote:Alternatively, remove the explosion component entirely. A massive aoe 50% Slow 100% damage boost ult is still pretty excellent. Welcome to playing the Nova, explosive weapon required. Yeah, the Nova is a strong class. M. Prime is arguably one of the strongest abilities in the game. My strongest disincentive from using M. Prime Nova constantly is the experience system - I don't need to have that much warframe experience. In fact, I'd rather level my secondary/primary weapons over dumping XP into my warframe. But I do like playing with Novas, 25% exp spread across all my poo poo is nice!

Tnega posted:To those of you posting nerf m prime, I ask "how". The attack/move slow is super significant, and would help balance it if removed, I don't understand how you could think this would have no effect. What needs to happen is it needs to not be a huge chain reaction when one enemy goes down, enemies exploding and damaging others when they die is fine, but killing them and causing them to explode and so-on is what makes it just instantly kill everything in the room making the power completely ridiculous. I think if they made it so that the explosions could not in turn cause other m-primed enemies to explode themselves it would probably be fine, it might even make it fun to use.

I read the wiki some more, and a few other pages I won't mention, any sage goon advice for farming up firestorm/heavy caliber/split chamber? Looks like I need to ODD and T3 Corpus Def. til mine eyes bleed, but if there's something I missed, please enlighten me. For the new guys, I have a spare hornet strike and serration if anyone needs them. Edit: Also, I'm trying to resolve my session join issues by adding people to the friend list on PC. Sorry for the inconvenience I'll be causing, it's the only way to fix it for now. PathAsc fucked around with this message at 18:02 on Feb 22, 2014 |

They also do a free 1000 plat giveaway a few times per stream; last dev stream only had 54 people logged on for the first giveaway so that's something that might be worth paying attention to. Streams show up in the news tickers so you can keep track of them!

Tnega posted:To those of you posting nerf m prime, I ask "how". Have you never played any high-level content or something? You just highlighted the two reasons why Molecular Prime is the best damage ult in the game, the reasons why it's ranked next to Roar as one of the two mandatory tools for high-level content, and you think they're trivial.  M. Prime could be made more balanced in one of two easy steps: A) Remove the debuffs, so that it only turns enemies into walking bombs, possibly increase the radial damage a little. Gives the power the same basic dynamic, but it would actually require effort to make use of and wouldn't insta-kill entire rooms. Downside is that without a non-damage component, the power is just as mediocre as every other pure-damage power in higher level content. B) Remove the damage component, leaving the debuffs to movement, speed, and damage vulnerability. Makes the power require even more effort to use, but would be more powerful overall than the above, as it would still hold up just as well in higher level fights and can also be used as a defensive tool. Some would argue that it would be overpowered even in this state (much like Roar), because as I've already mentioned repeatedly, anything that has percentile scaling outperforms the hell out of anything that doesn't in higher level combat. Re: Mass Effect style global cooldowns, I like the idea because it makes it so you never have to worry about expending a non-regenerating resource in order to use your fun spaceninja powers- you have infinite casts, just with cooldowns in between- and also requires some semblance of tactical thinking as to when and where you deploy your strongest abilities. You have to ask yourself, do I need to use this overpowered room-clearer so badly that it's worth being without powers for however long the global cooldown is? Or should I use a lesser power and not be vulnerable for as long? You know, the same tactical considerations that made this system one of the few interesting things about Mass Effect's clunky combat. Sure, there's some issues with interfacing this system with the way Warframe works right now, specifically the synergies between certain powers that require them to be cast one after the other. It could be tweaked in many ways though, and I don't mind talking about wild ideas because hey, it's not like DE reads this thread anyway. Right now, all it takes is collecting enough power and then bam, feel free to hit harder than God for as long as your power pool lasts. This is the #1 reason why Warframe is a game about running into rooms and pressing the '4' key on your keyboard. If you're going to have powers that indiscriminately destroy entire rooms full of enemies, that are simply better in every way than all other powers or weapons you have, then there needs to be some sort of downside to that power, something that requires tactical thinking to deploy it and prevents it from being the solution to everything. If the current spamhappy system must be maintained, then the power of the ults needs to be diminished in some way, and I don't think that would work with Warframe's current horde gameplay. But like I said, I'd settle for just having energy gain be consistent.

AzureRequiem posted:So I'm not at Uranus or Sedna in the star map yet, but what exactly are invasions? Every now and then a system is earmarked for "invasion," which means that several nodes will have a special event where you pick a side (Grineer or Corpus) and can go and play a special exterminate mission where you fight alongside the faction you chose. If you do it a certain number of times (usually 5), you get a special reward once people have played the mission enough times for one side to win that conflict. There's also infestations, where one of the sides is always the Infested and the missions usually take three runs instead of five and have a lower payout.

Of course, occasionally DE gets brilliant ideas like the Harvester, which requires you to complete invasions on the Grineer side to piss off the Corpus if you want a Detron (cool little energy shotgun sidearm). This resulted in everyone siding with the Grineer which is why they now control the entirety of Europa except the boss node.

So I'm super, super new to this but this game is oodles of fun. I've just finished every mission in Mercury, got the regular Braton to level 10, twigged that fusing things makes them better and how that works. I'm trying to get Morphics so I can build the dojo key because it seems like an important thing I should do; is Vor a good place for this? I keep getting the receiver for his pistol so I guess I'll just build that whenever I get the barrel, but my priority is still the dojo key. Also I started as Mag and have fused my Pull up a few ranks, I want to pick up Loki and Excal but Mag feels really good. e: Oh, I applied and got invited into the clan as monstrodoom. If you see me online and don't mind hanging out with a workaholic who plays an average of five hours a week in low-level content, feel free to drop in.

Don't quote me on this but I think if you take off a sentinel's main attack ability (which is no real loss since they do trash damage) , they'll never draw aggression. So you can have your floating truck nuts hoovering up all the items forever without worrying about it getting smashed.

For what it's worth you can actually make them pretty awesome if you put a catalyst on the Sweeper weapon and have a lot of the good shotgun mods. I had a hard time leveling melee weapons with the flying potato because it just destroyed everything I got close to.

The sound from Sweeper was annoying me so I took the attack mod off so it would be quieter. That would have been the only time I actually used one of the inane silencer mods, but shotguns don't have one! The real issue was I was using Sweeper on a non-Carrier sentinel, and the attack precepts for the other sentinels have much longer range when you max them. End result was it blindly firing a shotgun at something 30m away and dealing zero damage. For reference, Carrier maxes its range out at 10m. Either way, once I finished leveling the non-Carrier sentinels, I just didn't feel like hearing the shotgun sound.

I'm in favour of eliminating the energy globe system. As has already been said, it provides a strong incentive to just save your energy for mashing '4' when you see a bunch of guys. I never used Excalibur's Super Jump because of this, and it would have been much cooler if we could see all powers being used in combination, rather than just the supers. I think the Mass Effect system did it pretty well, as you could develop strategies that took the different cooldowns into account, so some abilities you could fire off quickly, and some would put you out for a bit, but you were never 'losing' anything by using them, so you never felt you needed to hoard anything. And I don't think this would make the game into WoW, as you are also still running, jumping, shooting, and slashing away. Few fights are going to be someone standing in a corner counting down timers for optimal DPS.

I hate to tell you, but if anyone on your team is running with Energy Syphon, you basically have a built in cooldown system, except you have more flexibility than Mass Effect's global cooldown system.

I have no idea what Mass Effect's system is, but if each ability had its own cooldown, there'd be more incentive to use abilities that are very similar to each other. For example, you could use one ability, then use another ability while waiting for the cooldown to end. I mean, I'd prefer it if they made each ability distinct and worth using on its own, but

How about this: Remove blue orbs entirely, add passive energy regeneration (boosted by energy syphon) to all frames. Maybe caster types get more innate regen. Energy cap is boostable with mods just like now, tone down +energy efficiency mods to maybe +50% max combined to prevent excessive spamming. Ultimates should probably also get a cooldown.

Insert name here posted:I can't think of a single time my sentinel was actually attacked directly while I was not downed instead of getting blown up by AoE or attacks that were directed at me and the sentinel accidentally intercepted. I don't know if they do it any more, but I've definitely seen Grineer Scorpions throwing a harpoon into my Sentinel to try and drag it to them.
