WHO ABUSED HIM. WHO ABUSED THE BOY.
Indeed you cannot. They've eased up on the drop options a tiny bit, but you really have to go all the way in with farming or platinum to score decent amounts.

Kappa is still Grineer these days. I haven't checked if there's a low level Corpus MD on another planet, but its a pretty good game mode to make nice hauls since the osprey spawn frequency is certainly higher than in Defense or Surivivals. And of course, you want them as low leveled as possible because of how much they love to kamikaze everything, all the time, and cheat you outta drops.

Hmm another update that introduces new stuff without addressing unbalanced play. Oh, de. I know it's your business model to keep creating new stuff so people never stop paying platinum, but at this rate your game will never get out of beta!

'beta' is meaningless for games like this, it's purely there as a deflection by the devs and white knights to explain lovely, unbalanced garbage that could and should be fixed.

It's a depreciated term with little meaning in gaming from the horrible misuse, though fans will still quickly point out to you that, say, the BF4 beta isn't representative of the final product, because 'it's just a beta!'

(I'm totally not annoyed by said lovely devs and white knights defending awful gameplay issues with the beta shield, really)

https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/291076-hotfix-1422/

Hotfix 14.2.2

Additions:

- The number of currently active squads is now displayed in the info popup when hovering over a mission node.
- Game invitations are now queued and can be individually accepted/declined when receiving invites from multiple players.
- Game invitations are no longer cleared when transitioning to/from a mission.

Changes:

- Public matchmaking now avoids joining the same session twice in a row; if you don't find an acceptable squad (or experience network issues), leave the session and the next time you select that mission you will either find a different host or start hosting yourself.

Fixes:

- Fixed numerous issues with squad VOIP chat
- Fixed incorrect values being displayed for Sentinel's Crit Damage and Crit Chance in the Arsenal and Upgrades screens.
- Fixed a rare case where players could end up in the wrong mission if they managed to join a host who had crashed/disconnected and then re-hosted a different mission.
- Fixed being able to send game invites via the /invite chat command when not currently in a squad.
- Fixed crash when attempting to launch a Solar Rail Conflict mission under strict NAT.
- Fixed overlapped Cyropod & Artifact objects when playing Defense alerts on Grineer Galleon tileset
- Fixed overlapping UI issues when viewing the Dark Sector information screen while the pause menu is active.
- Fixed gameplay crashes.
- Localization updates.

Can someone explain the Sony certification process and why it takes so long? I had assumed it was 'Sony checks your patch to make sure it won't gunk up their console or network', maybe via an internal testing network or something, but two months seems pretty nuts.

I'm curious about Melee damage mechanics, I tried to look it up on the wiki and I did not understand it entirely.
For example are channeled attacks classified as a different type of attack e.g. not standard melee?
If so, does Pressure Point have no effect on channeled attacks at all? Because it seems to increase the base damage of the weapon on the menu, at least.
Killing Blow, which increases channel damage how does that function in conjunction with Pressure Point? I felt the wiki was very unclear on it.
Which mods apply to normal melee, channeled melee or both? That would be handy to know. A lot to get into.

There's not much to it: Channeling is everything on your base mods + any mods that says they do X while you are channeling.

That's all.

So then Pressure Point (Base Melee damage) and Killing Blow (Bonus Channeling damage) will work together in tandem?

It hasn't been with Sony for two months. DE submitted it for cert YESTERDAY. They CHOSE to hold back Breeding Grounds from us and bundle it with 14 which they proceeded to gently caress up 1000 ways to Sunday. Its outrageous and entirely inexcusable. They even admitted as such in the last devstream or the one right before it, the UI one.

No loving excuse for this poo poo.

*Edit PC got Breeding Grounds on JUNE 19th. Here we are... August 15th and counting.

What the bloody hell does that have to do with anything? The entire point is that there's no reason to use distillings over the originals because you can still collect titans at any goddamned hour interval you want to. There's no upside to distillings and they cost more to build.
You realize that distillings have double the chance for rare resources, right?

Yes, and double (+3 percent) of functionally nothing is utterly trivial to the degree that you won't meaningfully notice. Unless, say, "you have a life/job at all" and are tracking it for months in an excel file!

I'd rather keep the oxium, because in all the time I used distillers they didn't score one rare resource versus the titans. Conversely, Prime are boss because while they also have a negligibly increased collection rate, their yields of stuff are anywhere from x1.5 to x2.5 (varies with randomness for stuff like spores, flat increase on rare resources) greater than the lesser extractors. Like I was saying, few rewards in game can beat the "buzz" being suddenly infused with 12 Neural Sensors or 8 cells at once when you really needed them. This was especially awesome before they fixed the extractor duplicate glitch and you scored a daily double of goodies.

The only reason I'm hyping them to anyone is because there's a good chance they'll be available again. It's hard to believe such a fundamental accessory progression will show up only once in a Prime Access and then never again. Then again, why would they be that nice?

You have a spaceship now, Dark Sectors have poorly implemented PVP that's slowly been getting better but is still nowhere near balanced or fun and probably won't be for quite some time, there's a void resource called Argon Crystals that decay over time, there's a new frame that you get through a quest, and there are now puppies. Otherwise things aren't that different. Maybe check the wiki if you're confused about something.

E: If you want to get your own space dog go kill the Jackal, it drops the spacedog quest that you have to activate in your codex.

I didn't know argon crystals degraded overtime. No wonder, I thought my math was wrong when I was gonna build an angstrum.

Are there any general tips/techniques for Kubrow farming? I've been at the 'find an egg' stage for a couple of days and basically haven't even attempted to do it because it seems kind of absurd. And also because my E Prime runs take five times longer than they need because I just can't stop hunting down every random container in an obscure corner of the map.
