I'd avoid ever platbuying a weapon that has a Prime equivalent, because you'll end up eventually getting/using the Prime version anyway since they look cooler and generally have slightly better stats and existing slot attunements. Weapon slots, reactors, and frame slots are always worthwhile purchases. Hoover (the resource sucking/shotgun sentinel) isn't a terrible platbuy for a newer player, since it can take awhile to farm up & build, and he'll tremendously improve your farming experience. If you want to pick up color packs for space ninja dressup, "saturated classic" is the best one. I can, however, recommend picking up Vauban if you want to buy a frame, since he's stupid annoying to get the "free" way and is probably the second or third best frame for defense/mobdef games, especially against corpus and infested. Never buy keys, mods or resources (except reactors and maybe a forma if you really badly need one RIGHT NOW) with plat. They're just too easy to farm for, and the exchange rate is godawful. Fakeedit: Also what Pierson said, minus the nanospores. Grab credit/resource buffs and power farm with other goons over a week/weekend. Realedit: Shab posted:Are there are ways to unlock warframe slots other than straight up platinum? No. What you can do is farm up rare mods and trade them for plat with which to buy more slots though. sushibandit fucked around with this message at 18:33 on Feb 18, 2014 |

I've been helping a lowbie friend grind mats for rhino/useful weapons and leveling birdframe at the same time. Ran into some issues on Xini with her Zephyr skill. Occasionally ALL THE DAMAGE will just go right through while the skill is up, for no apparent reason. Any ideas/suggestions to prevent that happening? Edit: Yeah, just hook up with other goons doing farming runs to finish off your MK1 to 30, otherwise you'll just end up re-buying it to level later and it will be more painful then after you've used good weapons. sushibandit fucked around with this message at 21:03 on Feb 21, 2014 |

Re: power balancing They need to just accept that energy is a lovely mechanic in an RNG-drop-based system (Energy Siphon notwithstanding) and steal Mass Effect's shared local/global cooldown system for abilities (and steal the universal ammo clip concept while they're at it). For example: Rhino Dash (5s global cooldown, 5s local cooldown) Iron Skin (10s global cooldown, 30s local cooldown) Roar (1s global cooldown, 30s local cooldown) Stomp (15s global cooldown, 45s local cooldown) Low to medium global timers on Rhino with longish local timers to keep people from spamming stomp on a non-caster-focused frame. Vauban Tesla (5s global cooldown, 5s local cooldown) Bounce (5s global cooldown, 15s local cooldown) Bastille (5s global cooldown, 35s local cooldown) Vortex (5s global cooldown, 55s local cooldown) Low global timers on Vauban to reinforce his "ability spam" role, but reasonable local cooldowns to keep him from dropping 10 bastilles on the objective at the same time. Etc...

Speaking of 4-forma Vauban... (what's the 4th forma polarity? I've got 3 in him now and I'm debating what a 4th would be used for or if I'm better off continuing to dump forma on Brakk/Synapse/Ignis) OP/this thread could use a gallery/list of goon-recommended builds for each frame for max effectiveness at a given task. I know there are quite a few scattered through the thread, but many of those are (possibly) outdated and you've gotta dig around for half a hour before finding them. Something for new/newer players to "work toward" as they play.

So what's the exact process necessary to get the Grustrag Three to spawn, and where will they spawn after you've completed the requirement? Is it as simple as "do missions for Corpus" in contested systems and then they spawn on you in future grineer missions? Need to farm up Brakk parts and all those sexy mods they drop.

Zeph is probably my favorite frame at the moment for everything but Infested. Mobility is king. That said, her shield is really frustrating when it randomly decides to stop working. It feels like the rng/blockchance happens in large chunks instead of an even dispersion, like it blocks everything for 75% of the duration, then nothing (or almost nothing) for the last bit until it expires. It's weird.

My default loadout for any Grineer mission now is (any frame) + Ignis + (secondary to actually kill things). Feather the Ignis as you're running through the level to kill all hidden traplike poo poo. As a bonus, it works great against low-medium level Grineer as well.

Credit tax on plat trades is bullshit high, as is the 1m credit tax on legendary mod trades. Of course all the new shiny primed mods are legendary status, naturally. Gotta keep the credit sinks coming fast and strong. Between gunslinger and prismchick, which is the more fun frame for screwing around solo? I main Loki if that provides a point of reference. Flipswitch posted:Question for Vaykor Marelok goons, what end build and forma polarities are you ending up with on the pistol? It's a drat nice gun but I'm a bit unsure on an end build. I've got 2 forma on it at the moment but I'm about to finally max my Hornet Strike and I need to forma it again to fit it onto my current build. Personally, I like running the silence mod in the last slot for sneaky missions/kills since it's pretty much a pocket sniper and has absurd damage already.

I've had the G3 pop up about one-in-5 missions over the last week, so they must really hate me. Only seen one stalker and one zanuka in the same timeframe. Been mostly playing invasions and siding with corpus, so that may have something to do with it. Not that it really matters since I got the brakk during its initial event and we can't trade them (yet). It also feels like syndicate assassins are popping up more frequently. I haven't gone a single day without at least one paying me a visit during a drat spy mission. For reference, I only play ~fifteen missions in a given day.

This event actually finally convinced me that literally nobody with any kind of decision making power at DE actually plays their own game, and the person who signed off on the final version should be fired. I've got more than one video of myself spinning in circles around a bursa, 2 feet in font of it, not cloaked, with the drat "out of range" message flashing up constantly. Not to mention the other bugs like it occasionally not spawning even with 4 players who all had offerings equipped, or when it spawned outside the map. I couldn't even bring myself to mess with pubs doing it after I finished, it was so painful. That said, the quanta vandal is amazing (never used the base version). Looks like it will need about 3 forma to be fully pimped out; is it viable in actual endgame content? Seems to be much like a rifle version of the phage, what with extremely good ammo economy and amazing range for a beam weapon. Edit I did about 1200 points worth solo, but I had to team up to finish off the last 300 because gently caress level 90 corpus reinforcements combined with the bursa's bullshit.

A far better way of handling the event would have been for it to immediately detect a potentially fraudulent transaction, have you re-hack it to brute force the upload, then force you to defend it against (x) waves of strike forces as the transaction uploads, then have you kill it once the transaction goes through. At least then you'd be doing more than sitting around. Instead, you had to sit around for multiple minutes and were forced to use a handful of specific frames that could handle level 100 enemies with constant CC and tons of bugs like I-am-standing-right-in-front-of-you-why-the-gently caress-does-it-say-I-am-out-of-range-goddammit-de.

Bosses scale based on the conclave rating of all players if memory serves, but that's it. If you're failing missions on low level planets, you either have no mods or no frames/weapons leveled up. Joining a clan will help with the latter, farming popular missions or trading will take care of the former.

The syndicate buffs should start at (what they currently are) and scale up to (125%?) based on your current rank in that Syndicate so as to reward people who grind up to max rank and actually stay in the same syndicate they got the mods from. That would help encourage a more active trade in syndicate stuff as well since people would be less inclined to just cycle between themselves. Unfortunately, I started with Meridian to get the Hek mod. Not looking forward to crawling up from -44k to get the large shield / energy restores so I'm not gimping myself.

What they really need to add is a nightmare/special mode that increases spawn rate by 500% on defense maps. Multi-stage missions would be nice too (think some of the older TF2 games that occurred in three different "phases" unlocking a new segment of the same map each time).

Brakk & Syndicate weapons exist, thus all other secondaries (such as the Detron/variants) are irrelevant. Karak at least looks pretty cool. New bow seems...pointless. Apparently it can only be fired from a full draw, and it doesn't have the stats for a crit build which is the only reason Dread/Paris.P are usable.
