I think I may have started playing this at a bad time (like last weekend), but this terrible game is kind of my thing, lots of complicated stat nerdery, and the combat/movement is kind of really fun now I've made key bindings that don't require three hands. Also have lots of shiny gear from two Twitch/Prime rewards, so that helps. And the Amazon free trial thing definitely works, it can just take a little while to arrive. Anyway, the new open world expansion is buggy and horrible, and can probably wait a bit - I have barely got to grips with what there was before that released, and still have most of the solar system to unlock. What I don't yet have is a pet dog, mostly because I cannot seem to finish the mission for incubator segment on Venus. What is the deal with that? I think I figured out survival missions aren't about surviving so much as collecting the life supports (even if you don't need any life), and have completed plenty of normal ones, but even when bee-lining the spawn points before they arrive on this one I still run out of time. And not the usual thing where health starts plummeting, just a straight up mission fail.

Moatman posted:Don't worry about the dog yet, they really shouldn't give you that quest before you clear most of the star map. Dogs are super expensive to make and even more expensive to upkeep. Cats even more so. Thanks, that's very helpful re. the life support stuff, and I'll hold off on the doggy. Though I think one of the few things the game does explain well is the movement/parkour stuff. You have the tutorials, codex, captura mode to muck about in, etc. And yeah, I read wikis, and the OP on SA when jumping into a new complicated game, I'm old school like that. Have been bullet-jumping (originally read that as ballet-jumping!) & air gliding since I started. Not being able to make a roll/slide with double-tap on WASD is annoying, as is not being able to bind SHIFT+something, but I am getting used to doing that with mouse thumb button, bouncing of the walls and generally killing things like a hyperactive idiot.

wid posted:Don't bother getting a dog until you're comfortably space rich. Dogs and cats don't contribute much until you specced them specifically to do certain things. At this time, you should really get a Sentinel, any one of them though we reccommend Carrier or Taxon which you could get as a Junction reward, and max out their mod Vacuum. No worries, I've got Taxon and 4/5 vacuum so far - anything that translates as "pick up loot you might miss" is a no-brainer. Also got the mod that sucks shields out of enemies, and that's very useful - just completed my first hijack mission on the way to Jupiter, and that was basically the dreaded escort quest, with a horrible slow thing to escort...but actually fun 'cause I had to balance feeding the thing that eats shields vs. cowering behind cover to recharge 'em.

Syndicates - they're probably quite important, aren't they? I've reached the giddy heights of mastery 4, and am on Jupiter now, but haven't done anything with a syndicate yet. Is there a general goon recommendation for which ones to go for, or does it depend on which weapons/frames you like? Or is it another one of those worry about it at endgame things?

It's always best to have something in every slot <30 to be levelling mastery, right? I'm ok with that for a while except secondary weapon. Am now MR5, and have: Furis - It's...an ugly submachinegun, kind of meh. Mk1-1 Kunai - lvl 24 already - effective, but dull. Kraken - This is terrible, unless I'm missing something. Angstrum - Just started building now (gently caress argon crystals), no idea yet, but looks fun, even if I can kill myself with it. Have a Seer blueprint and lots of cells, but no parts yet - could kill Vor a lot I guess. Is there anything worthwhile to get from clan lab, or blueprints buyable for credits? I prefer slow & high damage per-shot weapons that reward aiming.

Lex pistol. That was a good upgrade. A six-shooter sniper pistol, just what I wanted. Even the bucket-helmet corpus go down in one shot if I aim right, as do their awful flying robot shield generators. Whoever suggested that, many thanks. Obviously now I want the prime version. Already have a barrel from some random relic mission, and found this gibberish. It all looks 'common', which is probably good news, but what do the numbers & letters mean?

Annath posted:So, since I only have around 9 each of "nintain extract", "oxium", "neurodes", "forma blueprints", and only 2 "ayatan cyan star", I'm assuming these are rare/useful? What Tulip said earlier. The forma blueprints are not re-usable like some others are. 1 blueprint = 1 forma, so worth running alert missions that reward one. Also, Ayatan stars - ideally you plug those into Ayatan sculptures, which you get via weekly mission from Maroo (or very rarely just lying around), and then trade the star-filled sculpture in for tons of endo. After admiring how shiny and hypnotic they are... Or just sell the the stars to her for less endo, but still a decent amount.

Coolness Averted posted:Yeah, the prices on almost anything is just crazy if you pay full plat price. Once you get to a 50% (or 75%) discount you can justify a lot of the purchases, even the occasional orokin reactor or not easily farmed frame. If you'd rather not wait for the luck of a coupon draw there's always the prime bundle. Since that's a higher than 50% discount on the plat but also requires you to sink about 80 bucks on the game. If only we lived in the world where £50 = $80 for real things...but yeah, that sounds about right. I bought that prime bundle (game is worth £50, easy), and whilst I'm not hugely blown away by Hydroid Prime frame, it's still good, and the weapons are excellent for a new player - they'll max out to 30 soon enough, and you're kind of forced to use other things to level mastery, but it's nice to have the option for a tricky mission. You can get just the prime weapons + 1050 plat for £33, which seems like a decent deal for a game you'll play for months if you know you like it, and that'll buy a lot of slots for the insane amount of stuff that is craftable from goon labs & market blueprints. Definitely don't just buy 1000 plat + mod for £33 without at least the 50% discount bonus though.

I may have blown some P2W plat on Nidus (don't regret it, is very nice looking frame, and great for no-shield nightmare missions) and of course I found the 'spooky room', and sat in the "No, Tenno, are you insane?" chair, and well...pink blob is fine, all will be well I'm sure.

A question - I'm stuck at 44K rep with two factions while I try and find 200K credits to upgrade to the next rank. Is anything I earn now wasted, or does it keep track like mastery rank? Also, a tip, for anyone who doesn't do this. I just accidentally figured out double-tapping space will instantly 'skip animation'. I had been using ESC + mouse click like a chump. Many seconds will be saved!

nerdz posted:ok, let me reword it: I had a shitload of level 4 mods (including all of the damage, shield and vitality ones) and the prime frame and weapons I got from the twitch thing. all my weapons and frame had all 8 mod slots filled and upgraded to a certain extent. I was literally one shotting everything so far while taking minimal damage. then the boss wrecked my poo poo up because I literally couldn't see where to shoot it to cause damage. Jackal's a bastard solo when you first meet the fucker. I eventually got him down with Frost Prime from Twitch and a lot of patience. There is next to no feedback as to what you should be doing. Rapid fire weapons help. Gorgon if you have a blueprint for it is good. Standing underneath him with a good melee weapon can work sometimes too. Definitely not the Paris bow. Oh, and you'll be needing to kill him a lot more for Rhino parts. That frame is seriously good. I eventually relented and just joined pub groups 'til I got 'em.

sicDaniel posted:I started this on PS4 four days ago, it's really fun. But it's a real slow burn at the start, or am I missing something? Specifically, the Rhino frame which is supposedly the first one you'll be able to craft needs Plastids and I have to clear out so many planets until I can farm those. My Excalibur has hit 30 yesterday and I'm not even close to crafting Rhino, I just reached Mars. I could probably just do everything in MP and rush through the missions, but that's not my cup of tea.The amount of weapons I can craft is also quite overwhelming. My first craft was the Hind, which is quite nice. Yeah, plastids are a bastard, and remain so for a while. By the time you start finding more, you need more. Phobos is the first place they show up I think, and that's just after Mars. Not many, but combine that with the occasional alert mission reward and you can get 600 for Rhino without too much trouble. I normally run spy missions for resource-hunting - there's a finite amount of easy enemies to deal with, and lots of crates/lockers. Try and get a mod that gives +LOOT RADAR (you almost certainly have a Thief's wit if nothing else), explore everywhere, and open all the containers, it adds up.

The advice given to me here was not to bother 'til later, and that was good advice. It's quite a resource sink. Still, if you like freaky-looking 'dogs', go for it. Just freeze the thing once you decide it's too much bother. And Oberon's alright. Not great, but he sure looks cool. Hallowed ground can be good when it works (infested hordes will rip each other to shreds), and having a heal skill is good for trying to solo nightmare missions with no shields if you don't have Nidus.

Massive amounts of armor and regen you can maintain in perpetuity with jacked power strength and Rage/Hunter's Adrenaline. He can carry pubbies through just about every Sortie on the back of the sheer amount of teamwide +armor and +regen he puts out, easily. Well, that's good to know. I was mostly coming at it from an early/mid game solo perspective, but glad it wasn't a wasted potato!

AttackBacon posted:the intricacies of this dumb system should illustrate why nothing is a simple change in this terrible game that we all love. Sounds about right. If it were clear and simple how armour & health & damage types & whatnot worked everyone would immediately gear up for the most effective setup to kill things as quickly as possible. If it was horribly confusing (it is!), and constantly being messed with, it would take maybe a week after a major change before a consensus on the most effective setup became apparent. And then everyone would immediately...etc. The only 'solution' I can think of is even more sillier damage types (there's already poo poo with colours and music that is going in the right direction), and weapons that launch other types of weapon, and costly powers that subvert expectations and...there's a reason I'm not a game designer. And that'll only go so far. Honestly, I'm amazed they have kept this going as long as it has without resorting to the "start over again, everything you had is now irrelevant" approach you get from, say, a WoW expansion or a new season in Diablo/Path of Exile/whatever.
