In my day we had a stupid metal stick called a Bo and we baseballed groups of enemies across the map with it just fine. Why back in my day we didn't have alternate weapons! We had swords and more swords! Walls were for hiding behind and not for running on! And we didn't even have mods! And we all had 7000 shields and upgrades were a tree!

Cowcaster posted:Great, now you've reminded me how lousy the Volt's overload animation looks now compared to what it looked like in closed beta. At least these days you don't have to float there for four seconds like a tool, but I guess the tradeoff was back then Volt overloading would kill the entire level instantly because it had a chain range of roughly 15 rooms.

Buying the volt with plat was the best decision I made. It's seriously one of the best frames. The amount of damage you can do with it is asinine. For once I'm getting top damage % using it. Having a potatoed Ignis helps too

You were also invincible while floating there, and no longer are with the short animation, so.

Christ, these last ten mastery ranks on the MK-1 Braton are going to be murder. At least I unlocked Europa so I can hopefully get a control module drop soon and work on building Trinity.

I've been sitting on a lapis for several days now. Once in a while I pop into the clan chat and see if anyone has one and wnats to group up for at least 50 points, but no. Silence. I understand that all the overachievers had that poo poo done in a day, but what about the rest of us, slowpokes?

I understand that all the overachievers had that poo poo done in a day, but what about the rest of us, slowpokes? The thing is, once you get your 100 point run in there's absolutely no reason to bother taking a picture of a single plant, and the way the event works guarantees you won't want to. No plant pictures, no anti-venom. Which leaves all the people who haven't gotten their runs in yet in the lurch.

And it's exponential, so those last three levels represent 87.5% of the work needed to reach max.

Yardbomb posted:Goons, what is the best/most fun punchy kicky melee? Obex or Kogake, though I prefer Obex because it suits my Valkyr's Corpus bits. The Kogake is probably the better all around choice though. Ignore anyone who says Furax, that poo poo has terrible animations. Also everyone forgot the Ankyros exists for good reason.

Furax and Loki for invisible butt-punching. Works like a charm and hides your shameful animations from friends and foe alike. Hulk Hands are worth it.

The first time I met Stalker I tried to fry him with Overload (this was back when Electricity damage was rear end), he just walked up to me hanging there and chopped me to death with his Hate. This was back when Stalker was such a scrub you just had to stand on a box to kill him.

That's why I had an issue with people saying "we've got until January, there's no rush." The time limit was always just a couple of days, because that's when most people would get the event out of the way and then never touch it again. Best idea seems to be to just craft a Vermillion and then try to rope whoever you can find into doing it with you.

Nitrox posted:Vermillion is such an rear end in a top hat item that it requires winning the jade lottery 8 times. I've spent over 4 hours (total) to find less than half of it so far Just keep scanning the first garden and abort the mission if it's not there. I got 4 within like, 15 minutes trying.

This was back when Stalker was such a scrub you just had to stand on a box to kill him. Originally, way back in the mists of time, Warframe ultimates made you totally invincible during the animation. This eventually got removed, so for a while(during one of his low points in usefulness, actually) Volt was stuck with the ridiculously long Overload animation but wasn't invincible during it.

Tortolia posted:Christ, these last ten mastery ranks on the MK-1 Braton are going to be murder. You don't want to get control modules through Europa - doubly so on the PC. You want to get a tower key (15min in a survival is a guaranteed one) and then go play a Tower 1 or Tower 2 mission with goons. Because Europa is actually way harder and way more annoying than Tower 1 missions, while being a worse source of control modules.

Helter Skelter posted:Yeah, that's why stuff like Excal/Volt/Loki and the sentinels are actually pretty okay deals to just buy outright with plat: pre-slotted, pre-potatoed, and you skip the build time/resource cost. Well, the guns in it looked neat, plus I was basically out of new weapons for Mastery points. I think it worked out. I do like the Amphis slam attack, though, nice high stun proc.

So if I want to go full Anime Katana mode in this game I should stick with the Excalibur?

Fat_Cow posted:So if I want to go full Anime Katana mode in this game I should stick with the Excalibur? Nope! Excalibur is no more melee-oriented than any other frame. Slash Dash, his melee-themed power, doesn't actually care about your melee weapon at all. Single one-handed swords are pretty much junk, but if you really want to use one then Loki's your best choice of the starters: Invisibility not only extends your survivability but also doubles your melee damage while it's active. Actually, if you're going full anime, the Galatine might be a good sword choice. It's like six-feet long and hits like a truck. What's more anime then that?

Yeah, the Syndana and the Vauban skin was the only ones I cared about (and got for a total of like 4 bucks on the first day). It's also pretty funny that two of the Tigris skins sold for 165 bucks each the other day.

Anyone in the clan willing to part with some corrosive ammo types for whatever plat you think is good? I just can't be sussed to play this event with all of it's scanning and foundrying and coordinating with 3 other players to have separate toxins and what-not.

Sometimes when my friend is in a mission his screen will flash a red hue for 30 seconds or so and then he'll just outright die, without even bleeding out first. I'll be in a mission with him doing nothing different except using another frame (he's using Loki) and it'll only happen to him. Any idea what's happening?

Does he see any messages talking about vengeance or such before it happens? There's something called the "Stalker" that has a random chance of spawning in mid-mission, claiming to be avenging a boss you've killed. Thing is, it's hilariously buggy--I've been whacked twice for supposedly killing bosses I hadn't even unlocked.

If I understand this event correctly, you only need a group score of 50 points to get the toxin + status chance mod set, right? That seems markedly easier than all this Vermilion business.
