Well poo poo. It's like thirty bucks worth of platinum to get these dumb things. Oh well. If I feel like paying thirty bucks for this game down the line I guess I'll just bite the bullet.

Buy an Nvidia code off ebay while they still exist. 465 platinum for $10. Plenty of trusted sellers who will send the code to you in a message.

Promo platinum can't be traded with other players, however.

Which colors are you interested in, exactly? You can get away with just getting the saturated classic -- at least to start with -- which won't set you back $30 on its own. The only thing that won't give you is a deep/pitch black kind of color.

That's the one I have already actually. I like it but hey the colors are the only premium thing I care about in the game, so figured what the hell. That's a lot of color packs though at 75 plat each.

I totally support being a pretty warframeprincess. If that's the case, maybe just get another one for now? Some of them are pretty similar so it's not really necessary to get all of them. And depending on how long you've played the game for, tossing another $5 at it can't be that bad of a cost.

My brother and I have been joking about that since they started that mission type. The Corpus are so dedicated to killing you that they're willing and able to turn off the air supply to AN ENTIRE PLANET. They really need to add some extra voice lines to explain that, say, they're piping nerve toxin into the area and it'll reach lethal concentrations in *X* minutes. That'd at least make some kind of sense.

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.

This never changes. I had to explain how to do survivals to pubbies in the derelicts. They even spent the first five minutes talking about how hard survival missions were and how they always fail them. Joining public void and derelict runs are really entertaining just to see how terrible people can be.

This game does lots of silly things for the sake of gameplay. Basically if it's fun mechanically it happens no matter how dumb it is.

Sliding "under" (see: through) the laser barrier doors bugs me, but it's no big deal.

$10? For 465?

Don't miss that opportunity guys, they're not going to keep making those promo codes. Get your two color packs half a dozen slots and ten 'taters for cheap while you can!

I got the sale price plus the promo card for a total $30; 965 platinum, 3 days of each booster, and 5 random cards (one of which turned out to be rifle mutation, which is great).

I chose to rush one frame for 50 instead of buying a second color pallet, I got the saturated one- the entire rest of it I spent on slots and a shitload of potatoes so they will not be a concern for a good amount of time. Also a carrier, because they're cute.

Still minding that I don't supercharge lovely weapons, though. Wouldn't have bought if it wasn't on sale either. Definitely over-priced without a discount.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

How common are the 75% off login rewards though? If they pop fairly frequently you don't need to hit ebay for codes.

Rare as gently caress and basically treat them as a nice extra rather than a thing that regularly happens. 20% and 50% are what you should realistically look out for.

I've never seen one after 200 hours but I have seen 3 or maybe 4 50% off coupons in that time, so I would wait for the 50% offs and just go with those.

If you want all the color packs, don't buy them individually, buy the bundles! Most people forget that the bundles tab exists, since it's full of stupid garbage you should never buy, but there's two color pack bundles and they're probably the only worthwhile things in there. I don't remember how much they are, but I remember it being a hell of a lot cheaper than buying every pack one by one.

The Immortal Skin bundle is worth it too. I only have Loki, Rhino and Frost unlocked out of them, but the patterns look really nice (with the right color combination.)

Yeah, I forgot about the skin bundles. Sentinel accessories, too. The bundles section is very much worth looking at when you're thinking of buying cosmetics, despite making you wade through piles of bad gun deals and stupid avatar packs.

Just look at the seller's feedback and you're safe. Nobody's selling 100 codes and then ripping the 101st customer off when they have perfect feedback. No reason to worry.

So I've hit max level on my Excalibur and Braton and further experience is going entirely to waste. Does anyone have advice about which rifle is a step up from the Braton and is attainable at rank 2? I want to get an Ash frame, so have been heading towards Uranus to work on it; until I get the parts for that I'm sort of stuck gaining no more frame mastery for a while as I have no intention of dropping 275 plat for a frame.

Just because there's an atmosphere doesn't mean it's breathable! Maybe that complex is currently in the middle of a deadly fart storm, so you need to release condensed pot-pourri fragrance into the air at regular intervals.

The only other full-auto rifles at rank two and below are the Boltor and the Grataka. The former got hosed by the new damage system, and the latter is genuinely painful to use. So there's not really any weapon that's a "step up" from the Braton in the way it's a "step up" from the Mk-1.

The Burstron and Latron are sidegrades into burstfire and semi-auto rifles respectively, and the Strun is a solid shotgun. Paris is fun to use, but not really suited to the speed that groups tend to move at.

edit: Here's a list of weapons by mastery level.

It still works the same way, you probably just encountered a bug. It's rare, but some really weird poo poo can happen- one time, I clicked on an alert and got grouped with three people doing a normal mission halfway across the map. :psyduck:

Either that, or you were grouping with goons who had already done the alert and voted for normal Cyath, I dunno.

I got a Hind after I maxed out my Braton. I'm not sure if it's actually better or not, but I enjoyed the switch to burst fire and it was nice not constantly running out of ammo for a change.

For me the real pain is rank 4-6. It's going to take me a long time to get to rank 6 and I don't see any weapons to tide me over until then. There's the dojo stuff, but I don't have a clan, so I can't get those. It's weird how they have no new weapons for rank 5 at all.

So join the clan so you can get the dojo items? The Dera and Ignis are fun and will last you to rank 6 no problem. Also I haven't tried the Sobek but apparently it's really good and you can get it at rank 4.

This is a long and lonely stretch. I got through it back in U8 when more weapons were purchasable with credits, but it took me two Saturdays with affinity boosters plus having bought the Female Warframe pack just to accelerate things and I still barely had enough things to level. So many junk weapons ground out and resold.

Have you done the lovely easy-to-craft alert melee weapons yet?

Just to add to the 465 plat nvidia codes chat (though there's very few left currently), Bill Me Later offers $10 off your first purchase. I signed up long ago and never used it, but it still worked, so $10 - $10 = 465 free platinum.

There are plenty of good void weapons as well as clan weapons you can use during this stretch. Farming the void weapons can be random but you get plenty of xp and cash from the runs. And they aren't particularly hard.
