I saw the helmet alert last night after I went to bed but gently caress if I was going to get up for it. :P They're not on a schedule so you can't really predict when the alerts will drop. Although it seems like previous alerts have always been happening at 3 in the morning or some other really inconvenient time. They don't ever seem to drop during afternoons and evenings so this helmet alert was a nice surprise. I'd like to mention that thanks to a resource doubler + the holiday bonus, I got 36 orokin cells in one Cassini run this morning and I am positively *glowing*. This was the best thing to happen in a while for us players who can't log in that often during the week.

Denzine posted:Gremlins do 30 damage per shot and reload .6s faster than akbolto. My Akboltos have been languishing unleveled in the armory for ages, because the last time I tried them, the projectile speed seemed just as slow as the non-prime Boltor. For a semi-auto weapon, that's horrible- all the theoretical DPS in the world doesn't mean much if you can't hit poo poo with them outside of melee range. The Gremlins have a much faster projectile speed, and even though I'd describe them as merely 'decent' rather than good, I find them much more comfortable to use.

For a semi-auto weapon, that's horrible- all the theoretical DPS in the world doesn't mean much if you can't hit poo poo with them outside of melee range. I've never used the Gremlins to compare, but compared to other hitscan weapons, I really don't have much of a problem hitting people with the Akboltos. I do primarily play melee focused frames, but even at medium range I can reliably hit with them. Most enemies do tend to run at you, and if you are firing into a corridor with multiple enemies, the flying bodies do additional damage to those behind. They certainly aren't for long range, but the increased damage is where they really shine. I can usually finish off most grineer below level 30 with 1-2 shots.

I've been using the Kraken since update 8 and I think it's a joy to fire. Quickly adjusting aim between the double shot to score a double headshot feels hella satisfying, and I love how it sounds. Any suggestions for similar hard-hitting hitscan semiautomatic/burst secondaries? I grabbed the Aklex and it's cool, but not quite as satisfying to shoot; not enough "umph."

Mango Polo posted:What's my best option for doing the Rank 2 (pistol) test, without using platinum guns? Buying an aklato and ranking it up? My regular lato does poo poo all for damage in regular missions, and I see quite a few people whine about this particular test. I've actually done that test not too long ago with a regular Lato, it went far smoother than the Rifle one. My mods were Heated Charge (45% damage), some critical enhancing mod and something for ammo capacity. I thought it was very easy, though - the damage from the gun is on the low side, but so is the enemies' HP, especially those idiot Butchers. Edit: now that I think about it, my shield was also about 300, so I could just stand around lining up headshots, which help massively to with handgun's low damage rate. Were I to run around and aim at the same time I would've probably fared much worse. Szurumbur fucked around with this message at 16:59 on Mar 18, 2014 |

Cheers for the pistol feedback! Guess I'll pick up a Lex tonight, though I have no pistol mods besides extra ammo, puncture damage, critical chance and I think a chance to do toxin damage (Pestilence something; or does that only work if the pistol already does toxic damage?) Guess I got unlucky on the damage/reload ones.

Toxin damage adds toxin damage as a percent of the total of the 3 base damage types, it's good. If you need reload speed or base damage I and many other goons sleep on piles of Quickdraws and Hornet Strikes we don't know what to do with.

I'm on PC, I'll try asking tonight. Woo, mods!  Though... I think I first need to do the Rank 2 test to be able to trade right? Yesterday an awesome goon helped me get past Earth's Eurasia mission, because that one was kind of retarded. Apparently that mission already got nerfed? It still seemed fairly impossible without being able to dish and soak up tons of damage.

The tragic thing about the event was that they cut off the resource boost instantly, even if you were still in a mission. We went from rolling in orokin cells and hilarity to suddenly getting just 1 at a time and knew the fun times were over.

It was the most depressing thing to run over an orange can and see the pop-up "Orokin Cell +1." Farewell drop boost, you were too good to last. At least I've got 70-something cells now. Should make a couple of prime weapons.

I managed to farm over 200 morphics/neurodes/sensors/cells before the event ended, I am one happy camper because I went from 8 cells to 228. Now if only I could sell the 8 million nano spores....

Mango Polo posted:Cheers for the pistol feedback! It will add the advertised percent of damage to your total base pistol damage (% of the sum of puncture, slash and concussion). Put it on. Fuse it with cores or duplicates of that particular mod (if any) to rank it up. That damage percent boost will consequently increase. Nevertheless, don't worry much about it. Even stock, Lex is a good side arm and it should get you through the test fairly easy. Keep an eye on the timer during the first stage of the test, keep moving around (or roll), close to the center to reduce damage taken and to draw the grineer out. The grineer will either charge you or sit next to a column. Turn around often and seek the next target. Don't waste time hiding. In the second and third stage, the time constraints will be a bit more lenient. I love cats fucked around with this message at 18:57 on Mar 18, 2014 |

So I was checking our clan stats. According to the in-game counter, we have 141911 hours in this game. That's a little over 16 years worth of play time. Warframe (PC/PS4): why do we have over 16 years in this terrible game

I love cats posted:When the gently caress did that change? Not a week ago they weren't for sale by themselves. You needed a blueprint and a pair of latos to build them, or buy them for plat. Been like that for a while. I started in January, and I remember buying Aklatos in the market for credits way back then. I know because I used my starting lato to make a Bolto rather than having to use them on Aklatos.
