Likewise, I've been running through the initial quest line hitting things with that starter staff. Great fun, though. Lots of videos to watch to get a grip on things which is fine with me, coming from Monster Hunter. There's a lot of helpful stuff out there for this game, nice vibe to the community.

Is this a thing that's been tested and confirmed on PC where I understand you can see who's the host? Behavior I've seen so far seems to indicate that only your own client tracks your rewards and not the host.

When you're not host and you're kicked out the main menu for whatever reason, when you reconnect to that same squad/mission you lose everything you accumulated to the point you got kicked out even though the host hasn't changed and is still in the game. They could restore all your rewards if the host was tracking it when you reconnected.

It'd be kinda dumb if they didn't allow seamless play across console gens like PS4/PS5 at the least. Like even if you go back and forth between a Switch and a SwUtch or whatever lovely name the rumored upgrade has since all the account data is still on DE's servers, right?

I assumed some of the resistance to stuff like general crossplay or transfer from console to PC is coming from the contracts they signed. DESteve said something to the effect of how the newer games doing crossplay now like Fortnite were able to ink better deals than DE were able to at console launch time.

If I am looking for those scannable things on mars so I can complete Phobos Junction (I have 2/3) are there better maps and worse maps to look for them? Some of these maps I get lost on and don't know where I have and haven't been, etc.
If I re-play a map will it respawn a new one to scan or have I used that map's one up?
Do they guaranteed spawn on EVERY map?

You can re-use nodes for the scanning until you hit the planet's limit which is between 3 and 7 - Mars has 5 according to the wiki. Yes, they show up on every mission except Defense and Interception. Well also not for Archwing.

If you put on a Loot Radar mod or put one on your companion, they'll show up on the map as blue blobs that are quite easy to see.

Using - to show the full map makes it easier to see what you've explored and haven't. I hit every door that's not marked objective or extract and finish off all the doors and areas behind that before coming back and going through the next door not marked green or red.

I don't have any of the syndicates, sorry. I love my Despoil/Shield of Shadows Nekros though, it just moved into my most used frame spot.

Shield of Shadows also scales off strength so adding Continuity to bring duration back closer to neutral while pumping strength for Shield and range for Despoil works pretty well.

Despoil's biggest problem is if you lose Vacuum for whatever reason, I find I die very quickly if I leave it on without Vacuum active.

I have default efficiency and energy pool which usually gives enough of the 150 energy pool to refresh Shield before it drops if I have a good set of enemies I want to keep around for a while.

E: Shield of Shadows isn't based on time but rather health. Duration decreases the rate at which health drops which is good, but strength increases the health pool which is better since it also increases their damage as well.

I kinda just want it because it looks like a stupid fun build. Thank you for the heads up.

It is a stupid fun build. Run it with Health Conversion since that goes really well with Despoil. Here's what I'm running and it's great fun though I'm sure you can find way more specialized and optimized builds if you google:
Health Conversion - Shield of Shadows - Vitality - Stretch
Transient Fortitude - Despoil - Continuity - Intensify

That gives 72% damage reduction with Shield and something around/over a 3x health and damage multiplier for the summons. So they last a while and do decent damage too. The range from one Stretch is enough for Desecrate in my experience since by the time you've Vacuumed all that, you've taken long enough and moved around too so you've already desecrated everything else in range.

I've only stuck in one Forma, but I plan to put in an Exilus and maybe a couple more Forma.

We ran out of air at about 40 mins or so because we stopped killing things fast enough even with 4x CorPro stripping all armor. I was the Nekros and the Desecrate/Despoil ticks show kill rate pretty well. We weren't doing the Kuva extraction beyond a couple and those may have gotten us more spawns - my bad in retrospect.

Gonna switch to a Viral/Electric build with Hunter Munitions for Slash on Amprex today and see how the Eximii like that.

They let you extract with all your takings even after running out of air, by the way, which is neat. It would have hurt to lose that Ash Systems BP drop which I've been hunting for literal weeks.

Also Hunter Munitions isn’t actually very good against enemies lower than level 60-80, and only very good against armored enemies. Lower level enemies or enemies without armor will just die before you can kill them with HM. If you have it, Bladed Rounds is better for lower level enemies.

Don’t use Hammer Shot, it sucks. Use corrosive + bladed rounds for lower level armored enemies and viral + HM for higher level. Toxin is good against shielded enemies because it ignores the shields, if you can work it in you can use magnetic/toxin for stuff like augmented shields sorties.

Yeah, this is for that 60 min Kuva Survival where they're up to level 130 by the end. With 4x CorPro they're just (very big) HP bags and Viral/Slash should be a good combo. Even Amprex's innate electricity will be good AOE CC/damage when it procs.

I haven't used the Magnetic/Toxin combo, but it would've been useful for sure in an augmented shield sortie the other day. I'm really only just starting to play the content where this stuff matters, there wasn't much used in proccing status when everything was dying in one or two shots.

The game could use better loadout selection from the starmap screen. It'd have been nice to be able to pick Warframe config and weapon config dynamically from there instead of dedicating a loadout slot to each possible way in which you may use Amprex for eg.

Question about the Auras on offer this week as part of the Nightwave: Are any of these worth spending my 50 wolf creds on? At this point I only have one Aura and it's a 15% health buff that adds a few slots. I remember hearing or reading somewhere that the good mods are one that reduces enemy armor and another that regens energy. Is the Loot Detector Aura worth dropping 20 creds for helping find Void Containers?

Don't know which ones are up, but the most useful bar none is Corrosive Projection - it makes a big difference against the Grineer, the toughest enemies in the game.

Other useful auras can be Energy Siphon (especially early on when you don't have ways of generating energy on demand), some of the weapon Amp auras since they will match other polarities and Steel Charge which gives a bigger boost to mod points and a nice boost to melee if that's useful.

But unless you really need them right now, get a couple that match the polarities of your frame's aura slots and use them as free points to stick in more mods. Definitely get Corrosive Projection and make it your default aura unless there's a reason to slot the other ones - and there will be early on in the game, not so much later on.

Edit: should mention that Corrosive Projection (CorPro) can strip all the armor if all 4 players slot it. This can be very important against very high level enemies (100+) which you will never encounter in the starmap unless you're sticking around for 45+ mins in missions. But when you do need it in those kinds of missions, it's important that you have it on. I've been playing close to 300 hours and have run one mission where it was absolutely needed so far and that was for a weekly challenge.

I asked about stat sticks where a weapon's numbers are used by a frame's abilities and it seems that while they no longer apply to exalted weapons, they do apply to the 1 for each of Atlas, Excalibur, Gara, Khora, and Wukong.

The weapon's innate stats don't matter at all, but Mire and Venka Prime's specials are taken into account. The mods are what matter, but check the wiki for which mods work and which don't. Simple version is that damage, physical, elemental, augments, and rivens affect the ability but mods like Condition Overload don't come into play.

God I hope that's the solution they settle on for the riven problem. Trading is bullshit on PS4 because of the lack of keyboard.

They said in a previous devstream they weren't going to do an auction house, but I guess things might have changed with the stuff on the PC market.

They seem to think that both special channels increase player interaction and are therefore a good thing for the game: trading and recruiting. I think both suck without a keyboard with that virtual cursor navigation making it worse. Switch is particularly bad since the keyboard takes up the whole screen and it's common to be slow typing a message to your squad post mission and find that they disbanded and you've sent your message to clan/relay/dojo/anywhere else instead.

I'd love to see DE do two things to make better trading possible: first, allow sites like Market to integrate with the game by allowing messages into the game and fetching in-game presence from the game. The biggest problem with Market right now is actually contacting the seller/buyer if they're not online, so allow Market to bridge that gap if the player allows that access. Second, allow for offline messaging in the game using that email inbox we all have, so a "WTB Blaze" message from the Market can be read the next time they're online.

It'll never happen, but that would make Market so much easier to use.

Market is better for selling I've found, list your stuff there and wait for messages. Folks will contact you directly in game for those listings as well, so marking yourself in market as in-game when you log in and online/invisible when you log out can make a biggish difference.

When setting prices, I've found it better to look at what people marked as in game or online are offering and not what the folks who haven't come back to the market in weeks set as their low low price which you can never get in reality.

The Saya's Vigil mission on the eidolon plains seems to be bugged for me.

I've searched round for something to trigger and aborted/reset twice but nothing seems to work.

also is there a preferred way to farm up some credits in the early game? I can build a sentinel thing at my forge but I made the mistake of buying all the guns for credits and left myself in crippling poverty.

The game is supposed to have the ship come and pick you up when you get there, as I recall. If it keeps doing that for you, may be worth dropping support a note - they have very good support and it's worth a try.

Are you up to Ceres yet? The Gabii node there will get you about 25K for a 5 minute survival. It was my go to for a large part of the very early game. Once you unlock Neptune, you'll have access to the Index which showers you with credits.

It's great to see a Limbo or a Frost deny access to a target if you're in a mission where the enemies are actually challenging for the players in it. But it's also quite annoying to see a Frost plonk down a medium sized bubble over a target and go off to do something because once the enemies get inside it, you have to do more work to kill them.

It's Frosts I commonly find more annoying than Limbos to be honest. No need to put down bubbles on every target when they could be kill/freeze frames instead.

Thumpers are probably better farmed with invisibility of some form so they're not moving so much. I may try it with Loki + Itzal later today. Nova would be good too. Prioritizing those alert birds they start to emit at the halfway health mark makes it a lot quieter.

They drop quite a lot of useful loot, animal parts and gems, but they're sadly not quite the standing pinatas that Exploiter Orb is for both OV standings. The latter drops a Lazulite Toroid worth 12,000 VS standing and a couple dozen gems worth 1000 SU standing each. Thumpers drop about 8 nysts a run and that's with a booster, worth 400 standing each. Thumpers are way faster to run than Exploiter, so it's not a fair comparison anyways.

Still a good and useful fight if you don't for eg want to go fishing for murkray livers and stuff like that.

Yeah, I’m fortunate enough to have Tempo Royale already. And Aksomati too, for that matter. Was wondering if Fanged Fusillade might be useful for a slash-proc weapon for Nekros.

Good video on slash and desecrate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZV1kMPcDcW0

So slash procs aren't needed, you just have to kill the enemy with a hit that has slash as the largest damage type and not proc any elementals while doing so.

Fanged Fusillade is more useful for increasing the likelihood of slash over other procs where you usually have slash as the highest damage type already. But you could use it to convert a non-slash priority weapon to one that is I guess. And as you know FF also doesn't increase the size of the bleed ticks themselves, unlike what elemental mods do for their procs.

I like having a copy of every mod but the +IPS% mods aren't strong in a world where Hunter Munitions exists and hybrid crit/hunmun builds tend to have the most slash/bleed tick synergy since bleed ticks do scale with crit damage.

E: Leyzar's videos for HunMun weapon builds can show how much synergy there is between hunmun and +crit chance/damage over a hunmun + viral damage build. Dropping viral and its effective 2x damage for Argon Scope + Bladed Rounds to bump crits gives much higher bleed ticks and much faster kills. Battacor is a good example for this, IIRC.
