I know this was from page one, but I wanted to use it as a springboard for a gripe of mine: I really don't like how most of the female warframes look.

This isn't specifically a social justice-ish issue either, I just feel that they're a lot less focused in their designs than most of the male warframes (like Loki, who is crazy focused in his design and imitation of ninja garments down to the organic Gi, or Excalibur and his fencing suit, or Frost's thick nobleman-esque jacket that's fitting for a heavy spellcaster), and are mostly just "Muscular Naked Lady with weirder head/fur mane/claws/etc." (though I do appreciate that they actually do have some visible muscle in their weird moldy ninja getup, big step up from most games.)

Saryn is probably the most focused of them though, and I definitely dig the weird pustule-covered gauntlets, and Mag is a close second.

As someone who's worn a full fencing outfit at least once in his life: how do you figure on Excalibur?

Wow, there are actually people complaining that you can trade mods and keys for other players' Platinum. There's even a thread with some guy trying (poorly) to drum up a boycott of trading. :psyduck:

Be glad you can't see council chat. One guy straight up said he'd quit if trading was implemented, because then people wouldn't "earn" their space ninja video game ability card data.

Please note, new players, that this person paid one hundred dollars to play Warframe. Please, trade for everything you can.

Hell, make it raise Stalker ghosts from each corpse it revives. Even if they do poo poo damage to enemies at least it would be something unique. And a hell of a spectacle too.

new feature added in patch: Stalker vocal clips

Red crits. I think they further increase the crit multiplier but I'm not sure exactly. The wiki is kind of vague on them.

I thought the Ignis was OP from the very beginning, just that the Dera was a piece of poo poo that's now much, much better?

I'm kinda hoping they introduce alternate, cosmetic models for poo poo like the Braton, Grakata, and Dera. I want to be a snowflake.

Little cosmetic model poo poo like scopes, magazines, etc. would be kinda cool. No effect on the weapon, just something to further distinguish yourself. That's a cool idea.

They really should make some proper loving skins. I wanted to buy rhino one, but its just different texture thats barely noticeable. There are plenty of F2P games that make bulk of its cash from various cosmetic stuff.

Double whammy: on Rhino you should have Iron Skin up 24/7, making the alternate skin more or less hidden.

I could make every single accumulated piece of poo poo I have in the Foundry if I didn't have credits in the way. At some point I had three hundred thousand of the loving things. Now I'm lucky to have thirty thousand (that immediately get spent).

Cash money for weapons is a poo poo deal all around. If you're dying to, though, I would do:

Soma primary (I don't think you can equip it if you're not rank 6 though)
Twin Gremlins secondary (this is my personal opinion, but they're annoying to farm and good against all factions)
Galantine melee (one of the few melee weapons worth using)

You could try the Burston for something different. You can purchase the Strun for credits, but that takes entirely different mods as a shotgun. I think the Grakata is fun, but nobody else seems to enjoy it...

I wish we had more Uniques. I'd love a mod that adds penetration to only bolt weapons, or range to the range-limited weapons like the Synapse and Ignis, or increased bleed procs on Grineer weapons, or other neat poo poo like that.

The Twin Gremlins don't dump their magazines as fast as the Afuris, and Twin Vipers empty their mags too quickly. The Afuris is an excellent last-ditch melt-this-dude-now weapon. Niche as hell, but hey!

Seriously, hitch a ride past Earth, not through every single point on it. Warframe's always had problems with new player gating, and until that changes (it's not), skipping around the entire solar system is normal and preferable.

It would be nice if Luna was a planet branching off of Earth/Venus. It could drop Neural Sensors, maybe? There needs to be another place that drops those goddamn things.

Glidergun posted:

Is it just me or is the king-of-the-hill capture four points mission on Earth completely loving impossible?

You can't split up one to a point, because you get swarmed and killed by Grineer and also it is hard to clean them out of all the cover they can hide behind. You can't move as a group, because any point you leave undefended is going to get recaptured instantly. Maybe splitting up two-and-two would work, but good luck organizing that with pubbies.

How in the world are you supposed to beat it? I can see this being somewhere as an optional challenge mission, or blocking access to an especially challenging area...but to gate your entire goddamn game behind one of these?

If you're low-level/unmodded, I advise just letting the Grineer have one point. I usually pick D on the one map where D is totally enclosed. If you get ahead of the Grineer you only need two points, if you're 100% sure you can hold them by watching the terminals.

I think I'm the only person that likes Interception.

If pulling out melee weapons lets you block incoming fire better, we will probably pick up swords more. I figure if in a fantasy game like the Witcher you can deflect arrows as an enhanced human as a Tenno you can deflect goddamn machine gun rounds with your blades. I find it hard to believe that we're thousands of years in the future and the largest military force in the galaxy will continue to be heavily reliant on melee weapons against enemies that are melee gods and goddesses.

You already can, kind of - hold block for a second in front of gunfire. It's not perfect, but the animation is there.

I'll take my time looking everywhere for loot and get to the end with everybody doing flips on walls and trying to cut each other right outside the escape pods. :psyduck:

It used to be that way, but not anymore - you can go into a mission without a secondary now. Or a primary. I think you can choose to ditch your melee weapon, too?

Out of everything this seems the most logical. The sentinel is your shield-charging, pickup-grabbing buddy. DE seem really focused on the whole dogs thing at the moment so we have to wait and see what they're good for.

Dogs will bring you pickups, but there's a button-mashing tug-of-war game to get them unless you have made the Tenno Obedience Collar (15 cells, 10 argon crystals, 400 oxium, 3 forma).

The Obedience Collar Prime (BP is a T4 Defense 15th wave reward) paper-trains the dog.
