Today I am going to out myself as being an idiot and exceedingly bloody-minded. I was stuck on the MR8 > MR9 test (the loving stealth one) for about a week, maybe 8-9 days.

When I cleared the test last night, I discovered you can only take one MR test a day, because in that week, I finished grinding enough gear to push me to MR10 instantly.

I have to go to bed now but I just learned that apparently over the course of a week, I maxed enough stupid pieces of poo poo to boost me to MR11, actually, and that's if I clear these next two tests in one go and don't get stonewalled again. Thanks, piece of poo poo mk1 gear and an affinity booster!

Thaaaaaat is incredibly handy, you're right. I'll have to give it a spin next time I log on, I've been breaking from a month of powergrinding to do faction stuff for the first time and all the weird side activities are hitting an itch.

If you get Helios, make sure you get the infinite scanner charges from cephalon whatshisface because you're going to burn through a hundred even on a pretty quick mission. It's ridiculous how many things are scannable.

plus if you start collecting plants now you won't want to hate yourself when you decide to get Titania

source: I just finished Titania's quest last night

Jesus christ is this right on both counts. I just hit the third potion for Titania and I want (everyone else) to die.

Oh, then in that case, to answer the questions:

alphabettitouretti posted:

Do I need to buy wings? Can I wear them all the time? They look badass. Which wings are best wings?

No(t with platinum, you can buy blueprints from a clan dojo), no, only on Archwing-icon missions on the map, and the last one I cannot even tell you because I've not had the experience with more than a few.

alphabettitouretti posted:

What's the Prime stuff I keep seeing? Are those more powerful variants? How do you makes something Prime?

X Prime is usually a sidegrade/slight upgrade (depending on which) on the standard X, and you don't make something Prime, you have to collect separate parts and blueprints to build it because they count as their own unique versions for completion.

So the Amesha is good—any other tips for archwing? I don’t really enjoy it and I seem under leveled now for it now that I’ve made it to Uranus and the whole place is locked behind an archwing mission.

In all honesty, you'll figure out that on Uranus, two things happen: if it isn't Extermination, or a specific quest mission, you can BLAZE PAST everyone to the next land part if you maneuver well, and you are getting absolutely no XP whatsoever for your Archwing gear underwater, so don't think you're losing out.

No, I mean I went into Exterminate missions specifically gunning to clean up every rear end in a top hat underwater, and my gear never got a single thing from it. I'm pretty sure at least as of a month or two back those sections do nothing to rank up your AW gear.

I'm legit interested in where a full Ember rework would go. I love the adaptation to make her more potent above lv30, so the thought of similar small tweaks to make me branch out a bit is pretty sweet.

Okay, ta. Sounds like sticking lens on frame is the way to go. I've only put them on guns so far.

Melee is also an excellent pick because of a power that'll give (up to) +25% bonus affinity/focus to melee.

Sometimes re-running an alert is handy if you're trying to take out a specific type of enemy (for dojo paint, for instance). It's hard to get some of the lower level guys in large quantities without them.

So does anyone know a way to make a mission objective reload itself if it bugs out? Because I'm 40 minutes, 2 new mods, and 7 argon into hunting around a Void mission as I finally go to the drat generators, and they won't let me turn them on.

And if I have to leave this mission because poo poo broke and get none of it I'm gonna be loving cross.

Any tips for the Lieutenant Lech Kril fight? I have been jumping around like a crazy thing trying to hit his back but failing.

Cold status to slow him down and make getting behind him easier, but the big trick is keep in close and bait a melee attack because that one keeps him from turning so fast.

How viable is solo-play?

I'm a stubborn bastard who plays 99% solo and I can tell you it's doable but not recommended. I've got all but about 5 levels on the starmap unlocked, the majority of frames, and I think the number of times I've paired up with other players is still sub-10.

This doesn't make it a good idea, some things were like cheese-grating my balls to do solo, but they are doable if you're bloody-minded enough.

edit: For context, nearly MR17, working on min-maxing 4 factions at the moment, and if you need a good tip for powerleveling lovely gear solo: Spy is your friend. With whatever loving frame you can keep alive via player skill or mods.

Darth Walrus posted:

Yeah, I’m pretty sure Interception is the only game-mode that’s functionally un-soloable.

What? No, lord no, it's plenty workable. You just need to know where the points are how to cover the distance ASAP, and each map is doable without issue so long as you have a good enough damage output for the level.

Once you GET the points, the AI tends to stick on a certain point as a target, so if you figure out where and defend it, the others will pluck away without incident unless something screws up the routine.

For what it's worth, my only holdup mode was Hijack, and that's because I didn't realize it queued off of shields, so once I figured that out it was a cinch.

Yes, but the question is why would you want to solo it

If I solo missions it means I both never have to wait on someone to assist as well as not feeling bad if I'm tired or just loving around since this has become a de-stress after work game for me some nights. Interception and Defection are the two I never run after a node's been cleared unless I need a very specific reward from them though. Huge timesink compared to literally anything else in the game you could do solo.

Bobby Deluxe posted:

It's doable, you just need to build T3 specters and stick them on the other points, then never ever go back to that node again.

This might qualify if you're going for multiple loops on the endgame ones but it's definitely not necessary in general.

dont do an interception solo if your intention is to de-stress. :|

In all seriousness the only Interception map that loving sucks and pisses me off alone is the Corpus warehouse from hell that's multi-story and spreads out so many of the points away from one another/behind doors. The AI will always go for point D or C there, and if it's D, you're not going to know until they've capped it, at which point the AI is going to rotate onto the next one and you're then playing a circular catch-up until you can trick it into going for one you're standing at.

I get that I sound like a total lunatic right now but a lot of this game is doable in a pinch, the only two major roadblocks I can think of are running sorties (I have still yet to complete all three tiers of one alone... but I'm getting closer now that I'm starting to Forma gear*) or Lephantis, who is a gently caress that I had to go into spoiler mode to take out after running out of ammo.

* I didn't apply my first Forma to anything until like, MR14.
