I've got some newbie questions even though I've been playing for a while.

What does the little symbol of a person with a number next to it mean when you hover over a mission? I thought it was the number of groups with an open slot but I've clicked on plenty of missions showing the symbol and not instantly gotten a group.

I believe that's just the number of groups on that map, full or not.

About the draw priority chat - how did you guys happen to notice this? Maybe I don't aim a lot or something, but I've put well over 200 hours into this game and have never noticed the effect you're demonstrating (although I can certainly see what you're talking about when you show it off).

Yeah, point-blank aiming is really skewed and is exacerbated by projectile weapons. I was leveling my Cestra and when my gun was basically in a dude's chest the bolts would go whizzing past. It's less noticeable with hitscan weapons but it's there; you still miss, but you can't actually watch the projectiles not hit the target.

Ahh, this might explain why I was getting frustrated point-blank shooting with my Lex way back when.

Are there any tricks on beating Stalker when he shows up? Also someone mentioned a farming spot for him, is that PC only? I'd really like to get Despair, it's pretty much an upgrade of Kunai right?

Since you say "is that PC only", it sounds like you're on PS4, and are thus lucky because you can cheese the Stalker by standing on something so he can't slash-dash you to death. Then you just plug as many bullets into him as you can. Some warframe abilities should still affect him, but I can't remember which.

I've just gotten around to looking at the Codex again after they added the strengths/weaknesses icons, and I've forgotten (and can't find the relevant patch notes) - does + mean that enemy is weak to that type, or is that -?

What is it with pubbies in survival missions? I've done two today to 30 minutes, and both times I triggered all the support capsules except maybe one or two. It's either like that and they don't touch them, or you get the idiot setting them off when you're at 80% or more.

Am I crazy, or did you used to be able to just click on a mission that was an alert and you'd play the alert (that is, you didn't have to go through the alert list on the left)? I thought that was the case, but I just played Cyath while that alert was up and only got 2400 credits.

Playing with a pubbie this morning, I learned a neat trick for farming in survival missions: once you get the extraction waypoint, go there to start the extraction timer, then leave. The timer will stop, and enemies won't level up, so you can just keep slaughtering them as long as you can keep your air supply up. Is this well-known?

Also, planning on building up a melee-centric Valkyr that will probably suck, but I've got tons of melee mods from Survival, so what the hell? Does anybody know if auto-parry procs things like the melee knockdown or damage reflection while blocking mods?

I'm thinking of doing a gimmick block/parry-based build at some point, too. Let me know how yours goes, if you get it off the ground.

Any advice on taking on The Jackal? This is my first attempt. (We wiped.)

Did you cotton on to his pattern? If none of you have god-tier guns that can tear through his shield, then you'll have to shoot a leg until he falls over, then shoot his body until he gets back up again. Make sure to run the gently caress away from his grenade things, since they can and will one-shot lower-level Tenno.

Is Corrisive Projection still good? I picked one up from the alert the other day and I remember someone raving about how powerful it could be when stacked.

Dumb question, but is there a way to turn off controller rumble on the PC version? I play with mouse and keyboard, but my 360 controller is still vibrating, which is noisy and tends to make it fall off of things. I looked through the menu and I don't see any option to turn it off.

Is it that big of a deal to unplug it? Not ideal, I know, but still.

Sort of one and a half times. There was one big UI jump, and then a smaller jump updating some of the older stuff to be on par with the newer stuff.

Now that you mention it, I don't think it was. Maybe a little bit?

In any case, I remember them teasing a HUD update almost exactly like the one in that screenshot back in the summer, so there may be plenty of waiting left before it happens. Or maybe it was a fan mockup?

I think I know what you're talking about, and IIRC that was indeed a fan mockup.

Yeah, Carrier's well-known for getting lazy. I haven't been able to figure out what makes him fall asleep on the job, or what snaps him out of it. Has anyone else figured that out or heard anything about it?

I was kinda hoping the Paladin frame was an upgrade of the Stalker from darkSector.

Is it me, or does the new HUD teased in the Livestream look way too... I don't know how to put it, too modern? It reminds me of something from Planetside/Battlefield, and I feel like a giant grognard for saying this.

No, I feel you on the HUD, too. I can't say about those two games since I haven't played them, but yeah, it feels too... I dunno, clean? Sterile? I would like something a little more organic, I think. Or maybe just a different font.

I didn't realize putting a forma in your weapon reset its level to 0. :(

Kind of dumb in my opinion, I often don't know if I want to forma something or not until I've played it up and see that I need more space or whatever. Guess I need to do some exp runs myself as well.

Did you put a potato in it first? I've found that the best route if you're not sure how much you'll like a weapon is to get it to at least 20, un-starched. If you like it, put a potato in it. If you then get it to 30 and REALLY like it but feel like you don't have enough mod energy, then you should forma it.

I noticed today while playing that my zorens no longer fling me across the room. Did they get rid of zoren-coptering? I mean, I saw this coming, but it still hurts.

They've worked for me today. However, I have noticed that occasionally it doesn't work as well. Seems to be a host issue, as far as I can tell, since it's consistent through the match.

It's more of a bug and hopefully it will be fixed once DE finally fixes crewman helmets being almost invincible, but very often explosions from the Ogris (and Penta) are interpreted as hitting a crewman in the head, so your 1000 damage ends up becoming 80 or something. But there's no apparent consistency so all you can do is keep firing rockets at the random survivors and hope it decides to do full damage.

I was playing with a pubbie who was using the Penta yesterday, and he kept randomly blowing himself up with it. His explanation was that there's a bug where occasionally the damage gets applied to you, regardless of how far from the explosion you are (I think he said it applies to Thunderbolt, too). Was he correct, or full of poo poo?

On a weapon, the crit stat is separated into what looks like a multiplier and a percentage. What's the multiplier-esque number mean?

hooah
Feb 6, 2006
WTF?

Helter Skelter posted:

The percentage is the chance a given shot will be a crit. The multiplier is what your damage is multiplied by on a crit. So if you have a gun that does 100 damage with a crit chance of 20% and a multiplier of 2.0x, you'll do 200 damage on a crit. Additionally, crits are multiplied by 4x on a headshot (2x normally), so if that same gun crits on a headshot, it would do 800 damage.

Ok, thanks. The percentage was fairly self-explanatory. Except, what happens with >100% crit chance?

So my first mission ended with the door to the last room not opening for anybody but me, and the other players getting stuck on the wrong side. It only ended when one quit and the other clipped through the level geometry, somehow triggering the level's end.

I hope this isn't a common occurrence, as the game was pretty fun aside from that.

Doors not opening isn't uncommon. However, when it's happened to me, I'm usually the only one affected. And in my experience, the door's been invisible to me.
