I didn't realize sniper rifles were bad. I just maxed the Vectis and it was tons of fun headshotting crowds of mobs with it. Is it because I'm low level?

My first rage experience was with the weekly sculpture mission. I didn't know what I was getting into so when I got to the treasure room, the counter started at 20 seconds and I was like "uuuuh, what?", then promptly failed the mission. It was my first mission failure, too, so that's how I find out that you don't get to keep any loot when you fail.

I retried a couple times the next day and finally managed to get it right. It felt so good :allears:

e: btw when does the weekly sculpture mission reset?

Decided to head towards a rhino for my first frame. Not too far planet-wise and looks like from what I've read will serve as a good frame for a long while. I'm already dreading farming component drops.

I've been reading FAQS and guides all day trying to wrap my head around all the systems etc. It's a lot to digest.

You can also get the free warframe they're offering to Twitch Prime users. I signed up for, then cancelled, the trial to grab it. It's a pretty awesome frame imo. Lots of tankiness and his 2 and 4 can really clear rooms.

A word of warning to newbies like me who haven't done The War Within yet: the quest is currently broken. You can get stuck at various points where you have to use a certain skill (especially if you haven't picked a focus tree yet, as mentioned in this reddit thread), and since you can't quit the quest, you won't be able to play at all until it's fixed. I managed to get stuck at the very end of the quest and now all I can do ingame is use the clan chat and look at messages and profiles.

Neogaf is claiming that you can get drops just by idling streamer chats (add /chat to the stream address).

Im testing it now by having 10 chats open at work.

Doesn't work for me. I opened 24 chats and went on a 10-round defense mission, no drops. Went back to 24 streams, did an extermination, and got five drops.

Tonight I was trying to solo the Lephantis sortie. It was going well, albeit slowly because I was using my Ferrox for ammo efficiency. Midway through the underground phase, suddenly a "MISSION FAILURE IMMINENT. ELIMINATE REMAINING TARGETS" message popped up with a one minute timer. It ticked down and I failed the mission.

I tried again, this time with Vectis Prime and some ammo pizzas. Lephantis's last head was nearly dead when the message popped up again. I killed him, but the timer didn't stop ticking, so I legged it towards extraction and made it with only ~15 seconds to spare (which is good, cause failing at that point probably would've ended with me throwing some stuff IRL).

Does anyone know what causes this timer to appear and what I can do to avoid it?

That timer is there when the mission drags on too long, which pairs nicely with Lvl 100 Sortie Elemental Resist Lephantis: the ultimate HP sponge.

Why on god's green earth is there a timer for that, especially in a solo instance? This is the most :de: poo poo :mad:

I got a "do a L30 survival mission without killing anyone" riven yesterday and the guides I found all said to use Ivara. Loki would've been much better. With Ivara I pickpocketed the 15 enemies the map spawned then slowly jumped between containers, scavenging modules. With Loki I could have zoomed across the map much faster, and with Irradiated Disarm I actually could've got some of those enemies killed to spawn new ones and get me more modules.

Loki is the answer to like half of this game's challenges.

Since you can just extract at 5 minutes, you don't actually need any life support aside from what gets dropped in normally. So you can just bring some energy pizzas if you're not running Zenurik and be invisible with whatever frame you like being invisible with while just ignoring all enemies entirely.

Oh. :downs:
