Yeah, I think of shotgun mods as Carrier mods. Which is pretty useful because why would you go into battle with a robot buddy besides Carrier?

Probably because of the gunner's high hp the Carrier get to unload a lot of damage to it and out-dps you so it got the aggro.

CrashCat posted:Yeah, but if you counteract that in any useful way people will just abuse it. For instance if the falloff stays the same but the damage is finally attractive people will just stack enemies up at choke points or black hole them and murder them point blank. It would basically be used like the launchers without the exploding your face part. Which they already nerfed for being too useful. Literally everything else is useful for that too, except better because there's no falloff. And launchers having 20-ish ammo is not a meaningful nerf. They still dominate, you just can't macro ODD any more without also burning ammo packs.

I figure they don't want people to have an easy time farming with their brains shut off and I also figure they're completely in denial about where they're successful on that front. You're absolutely right though. The launcher ammo thing had been suggested by the forums for months. My guess is they just gave people what they wanted and didn't bother thinking further than that. It shut them up fairly effectively, even.

Kubrow are unstable masses of protoplasm just barely held together in the shape of a dog. This sort of orokin bullshit is how the infestation got started.

God drat it feels like T4 stuff is incredibly unstable. Last couple days I've only had one successful T4D run out of like 8 attempts, the rest were failed due to Vor not taking damage, Stalker showing up and breaking spawning, and Vor breaking spawning either after being killed, or after he got lost and didn't show up at all.

So what sectors do people usually farm stuff on? I'm looking to group with people (not right now, obviously) and it seems like all the mid/high planets are completely empty.

Depends what you're farming, really. I've been using this guide as a reference: http://www.reddit.com/r/Warframe/comments/2er6ul/current_popular_farming_spots/ Kappa on Sedna is pretty good for getting some early levels and it usually has a bunch of parties going. After that, Void and Dark Sectors.

launcher ammo is almost meaningless. you'd need even less to make it truly matter. and eliminate ammo mutation mods.

In slight response to this:OpinionCushion posted:I'm not entirely sure what's going on with the damage thing if you're getting one-shot at lower mob levels, but you have to be in a Shock Eximus's aura for a certain amount of time before you get disrupted. If you move in and out of the aura range or kill them fast enough, you won't be affected by it. Good news, guys! I figured out what it was that kept getting me suddenly killed in Orokin Void Towers seemingly regardless of enemy level! Apparently, Corpus throw grenades. Turns out I just had an odd irrational fear of Shock Eximus because of incidental occurrences involving seeing the purple aura on me and then suddenly dying from full HP, when I'm fully aware of how much damage a single bullet does to me across a wide spectrum of enemy levels. Instead, it's just these Corrupted Corpus throwing what I can only assume are totally invisible nuclear bombs that have a special affinity for targeting me because I swear I've never seen anything to so much as tip off the idea of a Corpus grenade.

Yeah both Grineer and Corpus toss plasma grenades every now and then. They explode with a characteristic sound effect and blue fire. They are also very prone to being missed in the middle of the firefight and there's no further indication of their existence after the enemy throws them.

Wheeee posted:I haven't played this since Oberto came out, is the game still growing in players and are there any meaningful changes? Yes and yes. General UI overhaul happened; good and bad. Melee redesign happened, and melee is awesome now. PvP redesign happened, and still mostly sucks. New players now get a huge tutorial that gives them basic mods and a simple learner's version of every map type.

Seriously, don't make me lose my poo poo again about the damaged mods. They're a loving good thing, and while they aren't the ideal scenario for introducing a player to the game, they will carry you well without loving you over in the long run.

There are three types of damaged mod: 1. Lower cost, max rank 3, lower bonus per level. Serration is the most notable example here, as a maxed out damaged Serration (rank 3, 5 points, 40% damage bonus) will beat out an equivalent cost non-damaged Serration (rank 1, 5 points, 30% damage bonus). Obviously this is only useful for the first few levels of a piece of equipment, but it is useful. 2. Max rank 3, lower bonus per level. A good example here is Vitality, and yes, this type of damaged mod is crap if you have a non-damaged version available. Thankfully, non-damaged versions of these tend to be common as dirt. 3. Max rank 3, otherwise unchanged. Apparently these exist, but I don't think I've ever seen one. Could be mildly useful if you just wanted an unranked copy of something to keep around for some reason, I guess.

Helter Skelter posted:There are three types of damaged mod: And since they're all max rank 3, you use about 10 cores total completely maxing them, so they are not a loving huge money sink. I know people think Serration is a huge money sink and tend to associate that with the damaged version, but the bottom line is that the money sink only comes in when you're past rank6 or so.

 Playing Destiny has pretty much made me want to play Warframe instead and I figure I'll go back into grinding out Serration and trying to get a Hammer Shot. Is that still the recommended path to glory with a Soma? Oh, my Vanguard Helmet for my Rhino is now an Arcane Vanguard Helmet and I think that means the speed bonus is gone, right? Because my Rhino still feels fast as hell, even with Iron Skin on.
