Fish Noise posted:Yeah I've found that missile damage will get through even as Reflection sends it back. Ignis is blocked and sent back, hand grenades to the FRONT are also blocked and set back. Not sure what makes the missile explosion different. Unsupported supposition: When the missile hits you it's behind your block arc which makes block not work.

Oh, then I guess it just doesn't block procs. I know it reflects(but does not block) bleed damage. That happened during the Trinity test.

I dunno, I think being Volt and having speed active and making it ten meters past the corpus laser door before spontaneously falling on my face is great. I also wish the grineer galleon tileset would quit putting pipes through/around the door sensor's hitbox.

Gestalt Intellect posted:Deciding to fight Hek's turkey mode melee only (when I happened to have my heat dagger equipped) may have been a bad decision. Then having to get back up the waterslide because it bugged and didn't turn off two runs in a row was not one of my better experiences with warframe. Melee only was the best part of that run. Unlike, say, having to play Valkyr to have a shot at beating Hek or just getting more helmets. But, I've got Hydrant, no need to fight Hek ever again. And so, four more items fall into the trash category.

I just got myself a Seer pistol. I like the big ugly thing but I only tired it in the starting sector so far  Is it a good weapon, or is it one of the bad guns that never go beyond mediocrity even with mods?

I attempted to join a mission on Pluto, and was immediately booted back to the mission selection screen, but with a strange reputation box (not clickable) in the center of my screen. Looks like DE is working on a reputation system for this game so players can rank each other.

That reputation screen has been there for months, if they are (still) working on it, it's probably low priority.

Took me forever to kill (was a level 10 frame at the time) especially when you friends don't tell you what's going to happen and you have a bow for your primary. Still at least my aim improved after that run.

Carecat posted:That's a game that doesn't really exist outside of a few singleplayer titles and I don't know where you'd begin to convert that to a mass market coop experience. They could do a lot to make it less brainless but don't hold your breath. Do you remember that lovely, 20 year old game called wow? It wasn't f2p and it was a bit steep for its time. Not a big fan, either. It had some spergy planning involved to win raids, which gave you the good loot (comparable with tower runs, only harder to complete, and impossible to solo). But you are right, outside of the single player experience, online games are dumbed down to appeal the teens with the attention span and patience of hair drier, who legally cannot spend money on the game, but shovel ten times over what the middle class Joe would, regardless. chumbler posted:If you're after a stealthy, planning heavy space ninja game, you should probably give up on Warframe now. DE has painted themselves into a corner on this game and you're never going to get that stealth action you want. There is pretty much a zero percent chance that the game will drift away from being about shooting space men with different kinds of guns, and while recent frame releases have gotten much better, they've got a huge pile of old frames that need work that their community will not let them do. Negative nancy.  I am messing. You are right. I am expressing all these opinions, because I am likely going to give up on this game soon, since there isn't much left for me to do besides doing the same things again, for the 1000th time. This is also why I find the whole "which warframe is best" topics to be superfluous. The best frames have jack all to do with the ninja theme, and play nothing like. To have mass murder tanks on legs that are as subtle as a drum at a funeral, in a game that is allegedly about space ninjas, which accidentally has some of them, but they all suck and are hard to play(TM), and the map design and poor AI renders them pointless in coop, because they do not kill poo poo optimally, with big crit numbers to satisfy the inner sperg.

You will find no shortage of those, and a bunch of Dark Sector survivals/defense are infested only. Coincidentally, I made Nyx and began leveling her earlier this evening. Chaos is fun. Exploding Invincibility Bubbles are fun. Does that glitch where you can move while absorbing still exist, or was that always more of a visual bug?

Just don't feel too sad when Rhino/Nova/Zephyr/Hydrant/[insert AoE warframe] keep wasting rooms with low energy ultis and make Chaos meaningless/leave you in your zen bubble with a thumb up your rear end and surrounded by corpses. Nyx is awesome [get that Reach and Streamline ASAP], but it's not until much later that it has an opportunity to shine since everything is so easily turned into gibblets. I also rushed Nyx as my second frame, but overall I could have waited till later.

I don't think I've ever seen Absorb actually be useful. It's an area damage AoE that A)takes a long loving time and B)relies on a bunch of dudes shooting you. Most of the time I've seen it used, either it doesn't get attacked or everything has already been killed by the time it goes off.

But but if you play the game solo, slot every power and take your sweet rear end time while savoring every kill, it totally works great! Also, leave when level 20+ enemies show up. Trust me bro, it's great! Everyone who says otherwise is totally wrong!

Max Fleeting expertise, Max Stretch, Max Overextended. Now you have a 4 second absorb that reaches 23.5 metres on the explosion. I like to copter at the largest concentration of bad guys possible before mashing the key. The invincibility ball rolls to a gentle stop, just in time to destroy everything in a giant radius. Not getting attacked used to be a huge problem but they patched in an increased threat on it a few months back. It's pretty good at getting attention now.

Absorb is instant-cast and you can make it last long enough that you will regen your energy investment with one siphon. If you feel like it you can detonate your own pre-deployed Penta/Casta grenades while in Absorb, but this is not necessary- it just speeds things up. On Infested Defense, Nyx is eternal.

Also "Split Chamber" - get that to max. Slot them both if you can, or just Serration. Enjoy having an effective weapon.

I re-slotted my Nekros just as Denzine described, and the difference is night and day. Natural Talent is essential for this, but the desecration process is as fast as I can mash that #3 key. I now look at other Nekros players, spamming Shadows and Terrify, and thinking "why are you wasting everyone's time doing it in T3, you lovely support, why?! Maybe, just maybe, the reason we're out of oxygen by 35 minute mark is because you didn't desecrate enough" It's sad and awesome at the same time
