Helter Skelter posted:A quick note on etiquette: I actually raged abandoned a kappa run because a pubbie was deliberately doing all of the above. And when I was asking him to stay near objective he gave lip the whole time. (Granted I spent maybe 5 minutes running around with the device hoping he'd get a clue but nope) Lost out on 40 oxium but gently caress that guy. Ended up duo'ing with another goon and we were getting 50-59 per run.

Weapons You Must Keep If You Have Them:
Weapons that are worthwhile to have around if you like them:
Weapons that straight up suck and should only be bought for Affinity, then sold:

Wait, Ignis is supposed to be good?  I was using that weapon at lvl30 and I could barely kill lvl20 poo poo; maybe I should have put a Potato on it.  Man, when was the last time I saw an Orokin Catalyst alert?

Azran posted:Wait, Ignis is supposed to be good? It's hilarious for any infected mission. The flames pierce by default, so that swarm of misshaped freaks charging at you quickly becomes just a pile of loot and corpses even with just some short bursts. The basic fire damage also gets bonuses from Serration, Cleanse Infested, and Hellfire. Then you add in some other elemental mods...  It's also got a surprising amount of range considering what it is.Not sure how it would hold up in the 30+ range, but it's still a really fun gun to use during alerts / invasions. limited fucked around with this message at 19:22 on Feb 15, 2014 |

Azran posted:Wait, Ignis is supposed to be good? Honestly, it's pretty hard to compare a weapon without a catalyst in it to how it's supposed to be. Those things are practically mandatory, and I'd pay ~$30 for some kind of bonus that just made it so everything I made had one in it by default, forever.

When I've maxed out my mastery, I'm seriously considering donning the Excalibur, adding some forma, a 6-forma MK-1 Braton, Potato'd/Forma'd Skana/Potato'd/Forma'd lato, and wrecking upper level poo poo, to the dismay of the gold-decked ember primes and novas...

Azran posted:Wait, Ignis is supposed to be good? I don't really understand why people do this- there are very few weapons that are any good without a potato. Even the Soma is pretty lousy without one. Anyway, the Ignis is indeed a good and fun gun. Can't be beat for wall-penetrating close-range crowd obliteration. It's strength is it's AoE damage, so it kinda falls down against higher-level Grineer heavies, but it's still a cool gun worth your taters and forma.

I have a 6 forma'd Ignis that is my pride and joy. It has: Infected Clip Split Chamber Hellfire Heavy Calibur Wildfire Serration Piercing Hit Malignant Force Making it have gas element with malignant force upping the status chance makes it great for pretty much anything, and the gas wrecks infected obviously. I occasionally make it magnetic for corpus or switch out infected clip for firestorm to have longer range. Being able to shoot through cover is really helpful on defense and survival missions too.

Nice having Volt systems in the dojo, finally got him in the oven. I just need to mindlessly grind Kappa until he's done to bide my time and get mastery up some more. What the poo poo did they do to the loot tables, they feel like garbage now.

Pierson posted:Sorry to the two dudes who got kicked off my ODD at the last wave, no idea why that happened. Was that the one I was on on PS4 where the reward was an uncommon core at 20 waves? I was worried I'd made a grievous mistake for voting to claim the 25 wave reward at first because it came up "Mission Complete" and people were saying "uh oh, oh poo poo!"  No idea why I wasn't affected, sorry guys.

You could always make a bunch of accounts and trade the starting platinum to yourself.

If you're wondering why almost everything in the market costs platinum, that's because it's the pay method of getting it. Look at blueprints instead, crafting stuff yourself is the free/grindy way of getting stuff.

I'm mostly tired of potato'ing poo poo I'll have to end up selling since they get nerfed hard/a better weapon in the same niche comes out. I've got plenty of good weapons with potatos in my armory, but after coming back to the game I had to sell like 7 potato'd weapons. Now compare it to the Penta, which is just incredible even without a potato, and I'm just waiting for the next Catalyst alert to improve it.
