Yeah Excalibur isn't really melee. Rhino is probably the only suit that encourages melee. Maybe the Ashe/Loki for the stealth attacks?

I just use Slash Dash to move around and get through enemies easily, it does good damage as well. Super Jump + Radial Javelin is also pretty fun, as is Mag's Bullet Attractor + Radial Javelin. I actually quite like the Excalibur although I've only played 4 or 5 suits.

I'll trade stuff for Orthos Prime Blades and/or capture keys. Anyone interested? Will check back later tonight.

So no has any Orthos Prime Blades or Capture keys they want to get rid of? I have Barrel Diffusion, Blind Rage, Focus, Streamline, Stretch, Accelerated Blast, Rifle Ammo Mutation, Serration, Shred, Thunderbolt etc.

Also have quite a few T3 Mobile Defense, Defense and Survival keys.

edit: oh what, no bp or item part trading yet? lame. Still keen for T2-3 Capture keys though.

^Thank you good sir.

Speaking of Alerts, has the Affinity Aura appeared yet? Also I really wish the Aura slot didn't have a specific polarity because it makes it hard to try out different ones.

I've only used 2 forma on my Dera and 1 on the Twin Vipers. How often do you guys forma things? I'd forma a lot more often if it didn't take so long.

I wonder if they will ever add harder content where you'll have to be using formaed equipment.

CODChimera

So are Wraith weapons usually better than the original? How much so? I quite like the Twin Vipers and have 1 forma on it.

I just did a mission before and noticed that this persons M.Prime wasn't setting off a chain explosion. I figured that maybe he just hasn't leveled it up or something but it wouldn't surprised me at all if it was bugged.

I've been play a fair bit the last week or so after leaving the game years ago(back when keys were a thing, not this strange relic system) and my god they've added a lot of stuff. What's the best way to buy and sell items? I'm pretty close to having a few of those vaulted prime suits and I probably have some good stuff to sell.

Also the menu system is kind of annoying unless I'm missing something. Is there no way to easily change suits/weapons from the nav screen?

CODChimera
Jan 29, 2009

Good to see some things never change. I think Soma/Galatine/Rhino was the ideal setup back in the day. And a snow globe.

CODChimera
Jan 29, 2009

When you're on the nav screen is there an easy way to change gear other than just the general loadout? So annoying when I find a mission then have to esc out and change my weapon or config and find it again.

I have a lot of fun with my Icy Avalance spam Frost but I apparently forma'd him a couple times and it requires a few of those annoying derelict vault mods and the syndicate augment. Here it is anyway, maybe you can take parts of it as inspiration. It's not a super optimum build by any means, especially the Ice Spring, but the cool snow effect on bullet jumps is an absolutely vital fashion accessory IMHO.

Sounds fun, I'm going to try this.

You know what's not fun though? Some of these quests missions. Jesus Christ I don't want to do this dumb spy poo poo to advance.

I just unlocked focus but the game literally told me nothing about what it is or how to use it or activate it and I'm just like lmao

but apparently when the little circle thing is full i can hit 5 and i can shoot lasers with the help of anime???

Yeah I'm up to that part as well and it's so funny how little information you get sometimes. I think I'm going to mostly just ignore all that stuff, I don't want to leave my frame and using a lense takes away some affinity gains?

IAmKale posted:

I was watching this Skill Up review of Warframe and my god, for some reason Warframe looks really, really fun. I can't remember the last time I'd played it, but back then you were stuck in this stupid solar system UI between levels that was unintuitive and did nothing to excite me for another round of running through some randomly-generated level. I completely wrote the game off and never paid it much attention except for the odd article here or there.

I can't believe it now has all of these hubs, player housing, clan buildings...things you can actually move around in when you're not in a level. When did all of this happen? Should I give Warframe another chance?

Yes. I last played back when you just farmed for keys on the same old maps. It's actually crazy how much stuff they've added and changed in this f2p game.

Honestly I think the most surprising thing is that they haven't added loot crates, unless I just haven't got to that part yet...

Here are some of my personal favorites:

Vaykor Hek - A brutal uncompromising shotgun. It will mulch anything and everything at point-blank range.
Zarr - It shoots cannonballs and has an alternate fire that behaves like a shotgun.
Astilla - A literal glass cannon. It fires hunks of exploding glass at enemies.
Quanta - Shoots two sustained laser beams and has an alternate fire that launches cubes which you can detonate unreal-tournament style.
Opticor - The quintessential anime cannon. This gun fires a big laser and does it well.
Arca Plasmor - A "shotgun" that shoots a giant energy blob of radiation.
Twin Grakatas - The ultimate spray & pray sidearm. Fully modded it chews through anything.
Sonicor - The ragdoll cannon. Anything you don't outright kill will be sent into orbit.

You made all of those sound worth getting. I have the Opticor and it's not very modded but is already melting things.

I quite like the Twin Vipers. It's just funny burning through a clip instantly and if I get a secondary riven mod I'd probably use it on this.

CODChimera
Jan 29, 2009

Wait so with riven mods you dont actually pick what weapon it's for, it's just a random weapon in the game?

CODChimera
Jan 29, 2009

The riven mods picking a random weapon sounds so painful. God drat, I had 2 different friends who 'know the game' tell me you could pick the exact weapon with them. Fuckers.

I don't have a single Prime mod, what should I do aside from freak out?

I have got quite a few Prime frames on the way though: Ash, Nova, Nyx, Saryn and Hydroid all in a 4-5 day span. Also Trinity if I can be bothered to get more argon crystals.

It's not even funny how many Orokin Cells I need.

Ok so got my first riven mod and it's for the 'boltor' with -8.4% recoil and +3.9% dmg to Grineer.

What would one do with such a mod?

I gave advice on how to reroll it a page or two back. Just need to join or start a few kuva farming groups or be patient with sorties.

Yeah I did see that, thanks. It's more just that I'm not too sure I want to sink time and money into it when I already have a ton of other average weapons to waste resources on.

I got a rifle riven thats kill 14 enemies while wall latched while stealth. Not having any luck with Ash on infested survivals so I'm looking up a way to cheese to and the first thing I find out that Loki's wall latch is 10x longer.

That's super awesome except I don't have Loki.
