THE TAIL THAT BURNS TWICE AS BRIGHT...


Male Man posted:

I have Power Throw, Quick Return, then a whole bunch of mods to maximize charge damage. It's less a melee weapon and more a tertiary gun I can quick-toss when there's a nice group of enemies. It basically kills what it touches, save armored heavies. Fair warning: mine's a Prime with a catalyst in it, so you might no get exactly the same results.

But any advice on melee weapons is subject to change as of Melee 2.0 which could be tomorrow so whatever!

Whirlwind to nearly triple its projectile speed, if you can find one but it's kind of a bitch since the corrupted heavy gunners mostly want to drop Intruders. I gave away my spare already I think.

So what's the ETA on the new update? Tomorrow or possibly next week?

Probably Wednesday or Thursday. There's only one spot on the announcement page left and, IIRC they usually do big updates on Wednesdays or Thursdays.

Personally, I can't wait for the Octoframe.

Don't you think you should put more thought into your battleplan?!


Actually it looks like the Glaive does home ever so slightly on targets. But only enough to make a near miss a hit.

Now I want a Glaive Prime. But all I got are 3 discs (the only you only need one piece of, of course) and no blades or the BP, and, of course, those comes from Tower 3 things.
Nvm Metaprognostication is a cool guy. :tipshat:

I got a Glaive now. This thing is fun. Its like I'm really playing Dark Sector! :haw:

Sadly it seems kind of rubbish. :smith: Any idea how to make it decent? I assume just stack charge damage and the Glaive's version of punch-through?

If you want a legitimately used glaive get kestrel
It's a lot worse aesthetically (both model and sound) but it ragdolls anything it hits, which is an extremely useful ability at any level

I haven't tried glaive prime though so that might be a better option

Nothing better than swinging around a little girl like a flail.
Give Glaive the ability to detonate any element it has on the first impact. Becomes the best thing AND ties into Dark Sector even better.

They decreased the amount of blades needed to craft it since it was a bitch to farm, also I bet lotsa people on the trading channel would trade a BP for your a spare blade or disc anytime. I can ask my clan if they got a spare BP, if they do I'll pm you.

We're also gonna have an alert today for a blue potato followed by gold potato in two days and then a forma alert two days after that in preparation for Ceres transformation: https://warframe.com/news/prepare-whats-come

So presumably the prepare for whats to come thing means the update is next week?

It's the Badlands system, where whichever clans have the most spergs can force everyone to pay a tax to get to play the locations where the best stuff drops.

Are there any existing alliances that we can draw on from goon clan contacts in other games (e.g. Goonswarm and [allied EVE faction]) to try and get in with more spergy clans and avoid having resources sapped just to play endgame material?

They've said alliances will be limited by number of players, so only a few moon clans (the biggest size) will be able to ally, and as far as I know we don't have any relationships like that. The 4chan and reddit clans will likely hold them forever, due to the ability of their spergs to run hundreds of missions a day.

Edit: The Goon clan is never going to win unless we hook up, I don't think we've ever cracked top 10 in any event for Moon Clans.

I'm the resident "Give poo poo Away Guy" of our clan so no one has things I need as they're mostly getting my extras. I also have just 8 play and was recently informed that I'm losing my job at the end of the month so trading with pubbies is out.

It isn't really helped that like most goon clans there was a huge influx at first that quickly tapered off, and in Warframe that unfortunately haspretty big consequences. I'm guessing we'd actually be a Mountain clan if it could adjust downwards properly.

No, we wouldn't. Active membership (as defined by the arbitrary standard of "online in the last month") has been hovering around ~600 for ages. Mountain clans top out at half that.

Really? Goddamn. Is there a metric you get access to that tells you or something? Most goon MMO clans (and even then only the bigger MMOs) seem to start at a couple/few hundred then stabilise at a hundred or so after a few months.

I once kicked everyone who hadn't logged in for 20 days or more. We got down to like 600 in the clan or so. We are a Moon clan, and there's pages and pages of clans below us in the rankings.

The general attitude of the clan has been to do the minimum necessary for event rewards. To torture a phrase, we have not yet begun to grind.

No platinum intended, what I suggested was a trade: one of your blades/discs for a Blueprint that I would personally deliver to you, if one of my clans mates had a spare one. I'd give you the BP for free if i had one, but then again, you're on PS4 and I don't have a spare one.

Sorry about your job though.

My clan is working towards becoming a moon clan, and we would be more than willing to join forces with the Goons. We are pretty active too. Just say the word whenever and we'll support you.

I'm sure we'll all be happy to have the help.

Does anyone know if the devs have talked on how the Badlands thing will work? How the transit tax is shared among alliance members is going to be very important, and I wanna know if we can start a space ninja socialism program.

Unfortunately our clan performance in events is around the 20th place mark for Moon clans. However it is also true that there has never been any incentive to participate in things like that.
