You know how if you have ten energy restores equipped and then use one, you still have nine energy restores? If you're equipping a dragon key, you're not equipping just a single key, you're equipping your whole stack of that type of key. So it's not auto-equipping the next one, it's just that you only used up one key out of the stack.

Figured this out the hard way. Yes, with a stack of Hobbled Keys. :negative:

God, this new UI. It's prettier sure, but there are so many places where it's categorically worse in terms of accesibility. At absolute best it's a wash, but so many of the important visual cues I relied on previously are just gone or hugely understated (comparatively) now. So much wasted space.

But it's never been that way before, the effect usually disappears when you open the vault. Even if you have a key in storage.

Nevermind.
I quit playing this just before the flying frame (Zephyr?) was supposed to come out, and a friend asked me to help him get started so I'm picking it up again. What's changed since then? I see there are dogs that you breed(?), they added T4, and I'm guessing a few new frames. Any of them worthwhile? Are Rhino and Nova still completely broken? What new weapons should I be working on? Are there any new major mechanics I should be aware of?

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.
I feel like anyone playing this game hasn't played a :dice: game or Day Z. I've played this game for two weeks and they've already had at least five hot fixes. They may not be the best, but at least they're trying.

I also had the pleasure of seeing someone with the hobbled key voluntarily pick up my artifact after I opened up the door and get double hobbled.

His price guide can work, but it can entail advertising for hours on end. How much plat you can juice out of pubbies tends to depend on how patient you are. Eventually an impatient and/or desperate pubbie will show up. Fridays and Saturdays also seem to be better for selling.

The trick is to accept the fact that the pubbies don't want their money, they just don't know it yet.

In reality though it is a very time-consuming process to control or profit off of the market. Remember WildStar, much? I was probably the second or third richest person on Warbringer, and I spent a good six or seven hours every day just doing nothing but making money. It's not like there was anything better to do in that game at max :v:

Or MechWarrior Online. DE may be dumb at making not-broken things but they do not hate their players with a passion, break actual promises and ignore non-whale players.

Stories of PUBBIES:
1. I saw an actual Loki with nothing but a katana, thinking he is a badass and ran past everything, while invisible, to the assassination target. And got mowed down by the fatty with the gun and the others. A pubbie Rhino joined the game a few minutes earlier and went to save him. He also died. A Rhino and an invis Loki. JFC.
2. A pubbie ran past everything on a level 30 mobile defense Grineer (!) straight to the console. He got there, didn't wait for the rest of the team and activated the console. He then promptly died and the console destroyed, before the rest of the team got there.
3. On a mobile defense mission, a lvl 30 pubbie Rhino decided to bring nothing but his Orthos Prime. My lvl 18 Nekros killed most of the enemies in the mission.

They recently added an achievement for completing x number of missions (I think 10) with only a melee weapon equipped. Why they would try to accomplish it at advanced levels is beyond me, but that's why you're seeing that.

Sadly, it's not endless, but you're on the right track. Get a very, very low damage weapon and shoot the dens with it once or twice when the dogs stop coming out, and use Desecrate if you have a Nekros. When shooting the dens doesn't work anymore blow them up and go find the next set. Definitely goes much better with the Desecrate so if you don't have one of your own beg someone else to take care of that.

Dog mod farming tips:

1. Leave every den untouched and kill the dogs. Wait a bit to see if some more come out to grab resources, kill them if they do.

2. Once the den stops spawning dogs, hit one of the 2 dens (almost all come in pairs) with a weak attack once. This should spawn a dog from each den. Do this twice to each den. After this you can kill the dens.

3. One of the potential extraction points has a big hill before it and at the top are 2 dens, destroy the one closest to the extraction point and then jump on top of it and start killing dogs. Stay there and wait. The other den should keep sending out dogs in batches of 3-4 for quite a while. This is the best place to farm dog mods that I've found.

I'm normally pretty okay at trading in games, but I think due to a combination of there not being an official trading/auction house and me having played before trading was even possible... I just haven't even tried yet. I'm pretty sure I have some spare prime parts/blueprints I could pawn off, but I wouldn't know where to start with pricing things.

Since it's the end of summer right now, you could expect on a lot of items to be able to get a normal price by highballing it a little, but in general I've found this website to be rather helpful. I've flipped a lot of items this way.

The rifle scavenger aura really makes it easier to use ammo inefficient guns, get that if you can. Rifle ammo mutators drop from T1/2/3 survival missions and at least to me, the T(X) survival missions are among the most fun in the game.

I wasn't impressed with the Amprex or it's ammo efficiency until I put a potato and forma in it, so I'm guessing it will also be a bit underwhelming until you do the same.

It also helps to have two Novas using that and Molecular Prime making T4D absolutely trivial.
