It really feels like these are the new mobs that are more lethal and less spongy, since I was cutting them down in droves with my hanzo steel.

I'm trying to play after being away for quite a while and like literally every single time i play i stop being able to jump after using a melee attack. If I spam "change weapon" eventually I may be able to jump again, but if I switch weapons after that or anything i again can't jump. what in the gently caress is going on i want to jump

Last time I played the Hydroid, Oberon, Valkyr and Zephyr didn't exist. Are any of these frames worth a poo poo?

From the position of someone who doesn't are about minmaxing Zephyr and Valkyr loving rule and are fun to play for a variety of reasons (being a flying speedy little bastard and becoming a BEAST MACHINE respectively), Oberson is kind of boring, and I don't have Hydroid because no-one does Vey Hek with me. :(

They all have at least one interesting and neat power, but none of them are top-tier (except for maybe Valkyr specced for maximum survivability). Oberon is probably the one least worth making but you'll get the parts for it anyway just playing the game so you might as well.

Oberon's kinda meh. Not terrible, but a bit generic-feeling. The rest are all cool in their own ways, though. Zephyr is probably the most mechanically unique and has ridiculous mobility combined with some solid defenses. Hydroid is a bunch of fun and has a bunch of neat crowd control stuff. Valkyr is what you play when you want to spiderman around the map and punch stuff while permanently invulnerable.

It's really kind of a shame, from an aesthetic perspective I actually like Oberon quite a bit. He looks neat, but his powers are just not very interesting.

If moving in massively advantageous ways no other frame can replicate and having the 2nd best defensive ability after Iron Skin doesn't qualify as "top tier" then I don't even know what that phrase means!

Seriously though Zephyr is super worth that painful 600 oxium, which is saying a lot for how difficult it is to farm up.

Well, the only frames I counted as top-tier were Rhino and pre-nerf Nova (Nova's probably still up there, but I haven't really tested her out since Molecular Prime got weakened).

One time, I did a thing.
Nova lost the instant destruction of pressing 4, but gained the ability to lock down loving everything forever until it explodes and dies. Also you can slot minimum damage and run Sechura to 5 in like 3 minutes because it speeds enemies up.

Nova did not get a nerf, they merely changed the ways in which she is OP as gently caress.

unrelated, Auto-Fuse Cores now fuses Rare Cores FIRST. Do not be me and not notice until your third newbie mod. I put in a ticket, 24 r5 cores lost is kind of a big deal what with being so close to the magic 500.

I started playing this game again, because I rather enjoy it, but I'm still pretty green about somethings.

I'm currently trying to level the Karak, as I heard good things about it and wonder what way to build it with mods?

You must've missed the patch note where it said it'd try to optimize core & credit usage, which logically involves using rares first. (Especially when you're using autofuse for Rare 10 mods and such)
If you want to use your commons first then just click on the common and push select all.

I tried adding you as well but had no luck. I can see you as the name you listed on the PSN but in Warframe it throws up the user does not exist error.

Have you played Warframe yet? Maybe it hasn't linked your PS4 account to the game yet.

No, this is a brand new style of event. I don't think any players know what the end goal is, but get your goodies while you can!

So apparently clans can change the credit payout midway through a dark sector conflict. If this happens your payout will be what the newest payout is, not what it was when you accepted the mission. I just figured this out and lost out on a decent amount of credits. Expecting 25k, I got 0 instead. Incredibly deceiving and I think I'll be reporting that as a bug.

If the reward changed to 0 that probably means they ran out of reserves in the middle of your mission. They need to make it so that the battle pay that is set must be able to fund a minimum number of battles. :-\

When a clan/alliance sets battle pay, it sets a specific payout for a certain number of tickets. The money required is then reserved and battle pay is locked, so it's guaranteed to distribute that many credits. The locking part is final: if you gently caress up, you're gonna have to deal with it until the tickets run out. This is what happened with the Eclipse vs Warbros Prime conflict for Caracol, where Eclipse accidentally set 55k tickets for 150cr instead of the other way round and pretty much screwed themselves over. When the tickets run out, battle pay drops to zero.

HOWEVER, the reward is checked when the mission ends, so if the tickets run out before you finish, you won't get any payment, similar to how you don't get any rewards if a corpus/grineer invasion ends before you finish your 5th run. This, of course, has been a cause of bitching by many people but it's in DE's camp to fix. The obvious fix everybody asks for is to lock a ticket when the mission starts, pay it out when it ends or return it to the pool if the mission fails.
