Current meta revolve around the plague star event head for base viral damage

Would having a zaw like that translate to more damage with exalted weapons, or does it not work like that?

aleksendr posted:

Exalted weapons apply your mod melee modifier to the exalted base stat or efect. So its a case by case basics

Example if your using Excalibur or Titania you probably wont care for reach, the effect already being a projectile, but if you use Wukong, then reach give you even more AOE damage with the staff, so its best to max reach in your melee setup, even if you have a dagger equiped.

In your specifc example the zaw head viral damage wont get transfered to the exalted weapon (unless you set the elements for "Space Aids" on it), but the reach and condition overload would, making the build more suited to Wukong for maximum status spreading than say, Valkyr, who usually perform best with max crits.

AttackBacon posted:

Exalted weapons are a little bit more fucky than that but it's generally right. There's some weird stuff with which mods work and innate weapon buffs (Mire giving 10% more toxic etc).

Yeah that didn't make it any more clear, let me rephrase the question.

Let's say I'm using Hysteria with a Nikana Prime outfitted with Hysteria-compatible mods. Would I get an extra buff if I used a Viral Zaw or a Mire equipped with the exact same mods, instead of the Nikana?

AttackBacon posted:

Mire yes, Zaw no. The Mire has a unique 10% buff to toxin damage that increases the damage of exalted weapons. The Zaw just has viral as an innate damage type which does not effect exalted weapons.

Does that mean Mire is the best weapon to use in exalted weapon builds? Are there any other melees like it?

Is there a passable way to farm affinity solo? A combination of connection and technical issues is making it painful for me to try missions with other people right now (apologies to the three goons who had HalfHundred disconnect mid-sortie a few days ago). No doubt there's nothing on par with 4x corpro hydron, but I have six frames to master and a forma or two to stick in Inaros, and it would be nice if there's faster or less boring option than grinding out Dark Sector infested defenses with low-level frames.

Titan, Saturn. Find a nice dead end room to camp in and shoot grineer in the head for 20 minutes.

Well the double XP weekend is finally officially confirmed, so let's do a giveaway.

As you may or may not know, the double weekend boosters stack with market boosters for a 4x total boost. Since this is my first double weekend ever, I'd like to celebrate by giving away 3-day affinity boosters to twenty (20) goons.

Here's how to participate:

  • Quote this post
  • Leave your in-game name
  • If you already have an active XP booster that covers the weekend don't apply, ya dingus (not that I have a way to verify that, but still)
  • If you're one of the 20, you'll receive your 3-day booster during this Friday's Devstream, after which the double XP weekend begins

I'll also be giving away one super special awesome secret prize to a random goon from my list of 20.

I was bored at work so I did some drop probability calculations based on the data here: http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Bounty#Level 40-60

Interestingly, the new relics will never drop in Stage 1 for any bounty, it's always Stage 2, and they all have significantly increased chances in their final stages. But anyway. If you run a complete bounty, the chance that you will get at least one drop of the new relic on the bounty drop table is as follows:

Lith: 36%
Meso: 55%
Neo: 62%
Axi: 81%

I feel like that's kind of rear end-backwards but it's largely because Lith's are on 3 stage bounties and everything else is 4-5. So I guess they're balancing around the rate per hour instead of the rate per individual runs.

Well fffffuck all that. Looks like I'm getting the rest of my parts from pub fissures and buying the rest a week before they go back under.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:

You should be able to earn credits the way you earn Syndicate standing -- basically by just playing the game. There could still be a modest ramp-up as you get into more difficult content, so that your credits / time ratio is relatively consistent and there isn't a perverse incentive to repeatedly farm content that's too easy, but even then the difference between the lowest-paying and highest-paying missions should be a tiny fraction of the difference between regular missions and the Index now.

yes, 100%

e: To expand on this I feel like the credits you get for finishing sortie missions should be about what you get for doing high level stuff. Take that level and apply it to floods, thralls, arbies etc.

hey guys look at this bullshit

a kind redditor posted:

TLDW:

Pablo is bothered by Saryn being so oppressively powerful in ESO. He doesn't even play ESO because of this. However, he says she is too powerful outside of ESO too, giving survival and defense as an example. He had hoped Ember would be used more in ESO, but that didn't happen (you only have to do one run with Ember to realize that's never gonna happen).

The things he's thinking about doing:

  • Making spore spread range fixed (not affected by mods), but buffing it a bit, in order to get rid of the Overextended Saryns
  • Making the spore drain between zones faster so you lose all your spores (this already happens though)
  • Lowering corrosive proc chance to around 15%
  • Slowing down both spore damage buildup and decay
