Just put in a measure that stops new players/someone who isn't paying a lot of attention from doing that because that can gently caress up the user experience pretty hard.

It would require actual coding logic so probably never happen, but they could make it so suit powers are never allowed to be used as fusion materials, only the fusion target. Of course then you could end up with a max rank power you can't fit in some weird build but that could be fixed too if they gave a poo poo.

Yeah, I know, you were joking :kiddo:

Sounds a lot like Star Citizen. Is this what that game would look like if they actually hired a couple programmers? And, I mean, wasn't a space dogfighting game? :geno:

You see,
God doesn't help little frogs.

He helps people like me.
That's the best part, the game actually doesn't let you fuse away your last copy of a warframe ability mod. I have a 0-rank Freeze for Frost that the game won't let me get rid of. On top of that, all ability mods only go to Rank 3, so it's trivial to max them out even with off-polarity fusion fodder, and you're guaranteed to get the full ability mod set when you build or purchase a warframe anyway. :iiam:

Dunno, don't care about Star Citizen and the most I know is how goons have wasted a ton of money on a game that might never come out and content for a game that might never come out.

Warframe feels like it's dominated by the artists. Why do we keep getting new weapons? Because it's cool! Meanwhile, gameplay balance never seems to be a big priority and they never really fix the underlying issues that plague Warframe.

So many weapons are more or less the same thing with the numbers slightly different. Mod balance is poor, costs are weird, and at the rate they're going there will have to be another mod overhaul so the number of mods don't keep expanding infinitely.

Sure, it means Warframe is a game that doesn't really require a player to have an optimized build to do things but I think it'd be possible to make a mechanically interesting game that's still fair to more casual players.

There's some weird bug where sometimes stuff will disappear for basically no reason, and I guess maybe it was fusing. I lost absorb for my nyx and had to put in a ticket to support to get it back, because it didn't have a drop location at the time. I think the drop locations are DE protection from their game being really buggy.

The theory behind it is sound, it's just the execution that sucks. If things were actually distributed sanely it wouldn't be a problem.

Even as busted as it is, though, I'd argue that it's still better than the old "anything can drop from anything" approach.

First off thanks to the Goons that helped me farm out a Rhino frame. The stories are true, playing with goons does make games better.

I think I should put in a ticket or something because I do not have access to Earth. I played the game way back in the early Beta where you started at Mercury. For whatever reason when I loaded the game back up after a year or so I had access to Mercury, Venus and Saturn. I figured maybe I just needed to beat Mercury again. No dice. Then I thought maybe Venus? Many failed attempts to beat the Jackal later, some Goons finally helped me clear it. So now I have Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn...

Anyone else have something like this happen?

Update 14.2.0: Avalanche Offensive

PSA: Login will require AUTH this hotfix - the launcher will ask for your password.



Avalanche Offensive is on until Monday @ 12 Noon EDT!

AVALANCHE OFFENSIVE

Defeat the Corpus Arctic Eximus!

A message from Cantis of the Red Veil Resistance:

Tenno,

You've helped the Red Veil in the past, now we want to return the favor. Our spies have discovered a large batch of Corpus Arctic Eximus are massing for training around the polar region of Mars. With so many Arctic Eximus gathered in one place, you have the perfect opportunity to strike a crippling blow against the Corpus field command.
Go to Mars and take out as many of the Arctic Eximus as possible. We will offer you what we can from the spoils.

- Cantis

HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED TO DO

- Visit Mars and take out the specified amount of Arctic Eximus.
- Follow your individual progress bar to see how many Arctic Eximus you have defeated.
- Once you have fulfilled the objective, Cantis will contact you to congratulate you and provide you with your reward!

Go forth and take down the Corpus Arctic Eximus, Tenno!

Additions:


• Tenno Reinforcements: Karyst Dagger! Find it in the Market today for Platinum or Blueprint!
• Added in a Kubrow Category for Kubrow specific mods.


Other Choice Changes(see thread for all details, there's a shitload):

Changes:

• Banshee's Silence no longer affects the Stalker.
Fixes:
• Fixed issue with Ogris rockets that killed Infested Runners having their damage be used on the pod as well as part of the Runner’s explosion.
• Fixed an issue with Wormhole being immediately recastable on Clients under certain scenarios.
• Fixed an issue with players being unable to enter Clan Dojos via the Clan menu if there was a host and client already in the Dojo.

You've gotta kill 100 Arctic Eskimos on Mars. You get about 25ish per run. The reward is a 2 day affinity booster that gets applied as soon as you finish the mission.

Wait, the reward isn't the cold status mods a la the previous poison/electric/fire ones they've given us? I assumed with really obvious cold theme that they'd be handing out cold mods to complete the set.

Doesn't make sense to complete this on a weekday... I'll probably just wait until Friday and use the boost over the weekend to max a few things.

Affinity booster?

That can't possibly be right, this has to be the Cold status event mods surely?

I too was hoping for some cold/status chance mods to round out the set and make my Blast combos even more ridiculous. C'est la vie.

Edit: Reading the redtext in the forum, apparently there's no mods because this isn't, in a technical sense, a 'full scale' Event. More of a sub-mission, if you will.

Also I'd guess this is just part one of the update 'story' or whatever, it'll probably end with the cold mods eventually

I'm trying this game out. If I'm someone who's Really Bad At Shooters but decent at beat-em-ups like DMC/Bayonetta, should I be playing this game with m/kb or my PS3 controller? Furthermore, how much can I get away with mostly doing melee and powers and not using guns so much?

This is nothing like DMC/Bayonetta. Quick melee is spammy and equipping melee is just spam with slightly more variety. You will not be pulling any sick combos in this game beyond building up your combo and gradually increasing your damage, which is only possible against enemies with giant HP sinks because everything else dies so fast.

The really stupid thing is that they could shift Serration to also drop from Grineer Lancers and Hornet Strike to Corpus Crewmen or something and it would instantly improve a huge portion of the early game for a lot of people.
The most reliable way to get Serration is the Stalker, comically enough.

That's pretty much how it is, with the exception that there are sometimes temporary missions called "alerts" which can show up on a mission you've unlocked, which can have blueprints as a reward for completing them. There's no overlap between the blueprints you can get from alerts and the ones from the market, so don't worry about wasting your credits.

Edit: There are other exceptions, like void missions, but just like alerts, there's no overlap between what you can get from them and the market, so go wild.
