I took a Volt in there, expecting a bog-standard defense mission. I lagged my team out with an Overload at the very last tower (thankfully none of them lost connection). Between the sparking effects and the audio clip it plays when a Grineer starts getting tased, I'm surprised I didn't DC, let alone crash it for my whole team.

Is this game kind of slow to get moving? Steam says I've got 8 hours in it and I'm still tooling around with my starting frame, sword, bow, and throwing knives. It doesn't explain things very well, but from what I've picked up the way to gear up is to buy blueprints off the market, then grind for crafting mats? Although I'm kind of leery to buy anything, because the one blueprint I did find, for a dark sword or something like that, requires mats that don't seem to drop on any of the planets I have access to so far. I don't want to sink pretty much all of my coin into something only to find that I need space metal that only drops from Uranus (lol) and I can't unlock Uranus without going through 5 other planets first. It took me a while to figure out what I was even supposed to be doing after the starting tutorial story thing ended. I didn't just want to redo what I'd already done, and it took a bit of searching before I realized that the slightly more shiny border around some missions meant they were 'new'. The navigation UI is definitely a sacrifice of functionality for the sake of looking pretty. Is there anything to tell me what I should be focusing on right now? I've got most of the Earth missions done, and only a couple on whatever the other two planets you start out with are. Mercury and Venus, I think?

1. Get a good primary weapon. Boltor is a good choice, though some people seem to like karak. 2. Get a rhino. Farm up the blueprints from the boss on venus. 3. Get a carrier sentinel. 4. Get any important mods you are missing via clan chat. Congratulations, you have the bare minimum to make this game not awful. Build stuff, level it by killing guys and then build more stuff. Aside from events that's pretty much all there is to the game.

Boltor if you have good aim with projectiles with travel time. If you enjoy bows this should be easy. But Boltor requires mastery rank 4 I think. Karak is standard automatic rifle and only mastery rank 2. If you enjoy military shooters, this is great until you get to mastery rank 7 and eligible for the Soma.

Slow to start is putting it mildly. Right now you should be focusing on unlocking more planets so you get access to more materials. You don't need to totally clear the map to get access to everything. Earth, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are the first six areas, and together give you every resource except Argon and Control Modules, both of which are easily accessed via the Void. Absolutely link up with the clan. Besides offering a place to get quick answers to questions and link up for lucrative missions, you'll be able to easily get a hold of a bunch of important mods to get you started. Don't be afraid to ask for help, those of us who have done most anything love to have an excuse to dip back into newbie content. You'll also get earlier access to the more bonkers stuff you can do, like missions where you kill literally multiple thousands of enemies. Keep in mind you can always buy another Mk1 if you're looking to tool around with a different style. They're not really good long-term investments (for God's sake don't shove a catalyst in one), but they're cheap and readily available. If credits are a concern then I'll reiterate that you should get in the clan. There are missions later on that spit out 20k credits in a couple minutes.

I really want to stress that while listening to advice is good, you should really, really focus on finding a very specific aspect of the game you enjoy and just loving cling to it, because it's the only true way to relinquish yourself to the endless bugs and the endless grinds.

I think finding a loadout that you really like is also important because there's a ton of grinding in this game. Some things I like: - The Attica is an automatic crossbow that can be modded to fire explosive bolts. This is exactly as awesome as you think it is. You do need to get to Mastery 4 to use it, though. - Secondaries are ehhh. I don't really have any strong opinions on them; the Akbolto (like the Boltor, but dual-wielding pistols) is solid. - The Dual Ether is a solid melee weapon that lets you move around at a pretty good clip by coptering (start running, crouch, melee, and you'll spin and move at like 2x speed). Kogake/Obex let you be Fist of the North Star but you can't copter with 'em. Once you find that loadout, use an Orokin Reactor on the frame and an Orokin Catalyst on the weapon so that you can slot in double the mod points. Even before then, ask goons for spare mods! Each weapon type has a full complement of elemental mods as well as a base damage mod, and having those is essential to making your weapons feel like they're actually doing anything. (Seriously, my kitted out Soma deals like 6x base DPS and it's not even fully maxed.) This post has some good farming spots, though you probably can't get to Sedna and Ceres yet. The wiki has a map of what unlocks what.

The only time I've seen that we've ever been not almost immediately researching the new poo poo is when it was the Galaxion. Our dojo has a teleporter leading to the empty hellspace outside the map, that automatically makes it The Best Dojo.

The Marelok is handily the best "magnum" type secondary. It's a LOT better than the Lex Prime despite what the stats might suggest.

I've got a bunch of buddies who are endgame-as-it-gets, and I'm just about finished playing catch up. Now I'm looking at where to best put my potatoes, my formas and so on. Could someone give me a quick sanity check for a non-poopsocker (i.e. no 5 forma) ? I have: Frames: - Crit/hysteria Valk build (waiting on my next rank test to get Dual Ichors) which goes fine in up to T3 but if I get drained it's lights out. -Globe Frost build -Fresh out of the shop Mag Prime and Nekros Primaries: -Paris Prime (potted) -Boltor Prime Secondaries: -Bolto -Stug -Marelok BP ready Melee: -Atterax/Dual Cleavers -Dual Ichor BP ready I would really like to be able to pull my weight in T4, we struggle with S/D/MD quite a bit. From what I can gather Frost is best for D/MD and Nekros for S - but with so many choices available, I don't know where to start!

Well now, the Valkyr has the benefit of invulnerability at the expense of being limited to melee range while invisible, which can hold you back damage wise in comparison to a Soma or Amprex or Boltor Prime. It can certainly help with some situations where buffing your allies with the screamy thing can synergize well with Rhino's Roar, making this perfect storm of bullshit going on. Globe Frost is a good choice for Defenses and Mobile Defenses, as well as holding points for Interception and defending capsules in Survival. Frost also has cool legboot things goin on which is pretty good if you care about aesthetic things like that. Mag Prime is the ultimate annihilator in regards to Corpus forces, just trounces any real opposition they provide, and she's decent for everything else in general. Nekros will be useful as a Desecrate mule, and if you stack on Rage, Equilibrium and the one mod that consumes energy to keep you from dying at low health, Nekros can sustain himself for a surprisingly good period. It's expensive in regards to Fusion though, and not a lot of people can pull it off effectively. Paris Prime and Boltor Prime will be a great primary pair, Boltor for general purpose and Paris for dealing with single targets that have a great deal of health, such as Corrupted Heavy Gunners and Infested Ancients. Bolto (and Akbolto) are awesome, Stug has some niche bits but can be underwhelming when in longterm defenses and survivals, and the Marelok is pretty much the best secondary outside of the Brakk, which might be an issue to obtain. Atterax can be fun, and is a very very slight improvement over Dual Ichors when it comes to a Valk' Hysteria build (attack speed doesn't change the valkyr weapon things and the increased status lets it crit and status as well. Dual Cleavers aren't really the best weapon, they're good for Mastery at least, and Dual Ichors are completely dominant in regards to attacking and coptering, it's a very good weapon. You're making good choices so far, and with time you'll learn the true mystical abilities of poopsocking in a space ninja game with psychotic goondongers, have fun with it!

A well forma'd/modded Boltor P and a well modded Mag P is amazing for T4. Pull and crush are nice and effective for a good while, and Shield polarise makes Vor almost trivial. Boltor P is simply a great T4 weapon, but to get the most, it does take a few formas. BUT. Those are formas well spent, and hard to regret. (I pretty mush only ever use my Boltor P when I'm not leveling a different primary, or shooting a Boss.) Dual Ichor Valk is also amazing, though a bit of an arse on the mod front to get right. However, only one forma to get the polarities right.

I dropped a Skill polarity for a D (I actually hosed up originally, and had to re-forma to fix my mistake). It can be argued that forma-ing it a few more times isn't a terrible idea to bump up capacity space. This is the build, as it stands. Ideally, blind rage needs more juice, but I've just not got around to pumping cores into it yet... This is the guide I roughly followed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Bm7swRhvsg Xaerael fucked around with this message at 13:12 on Oct 13, 2014 |

A lot of people slot in Narrow Minded to get perma-Hysteria and that build type tends to leave them with not much space for something like Ripline when its effective distance becomes 5 feet.

That build doesn't really use Hysteria much other than a panic button res state for when your buddies can't cope with the punishment you can. Ripline is meh compared to being able to perma channel, gain life faster than you can lose it, and hit faster and harder than greased lightning. 5 digit crits and an attack speed with buffs faster than you can actually press F. Also, Coptering is pretty much transformed into teleporting because your attack animation is so stupidly fast. (OK, this occasionally causes accidental clipping issues, but meh.) Valk-Ichor combo is literally the immortal blender build of Warframe.

I had a bizarre glitch that actually worked in my favor last night. Playing a T4S and my game freezes, but I can still hear the noises of the game being played. So I leave the game open hoping that once my teammates decide to leave it'll register as a completion for me and I'll get to keep the loot, since we'd scored a Rhino Prime Chassis which completes it for me and I was really frustrated. Once the sounds of gunfire stop I close the game, start it back up, and hallelujah I have a RP Chassis blueprint ready to go in the foundry. I message the guy who's key it was saying thanks for the run and sorry I crashed out, but I got to keep the loot. He says that him and the rest of the group all died after I froze and so they lost the key and didn't get anything. I have no idea how this occured but I'm not complaining.

I'd been tentative about playing void survivals since my game freezes more in the void than anywhere else. I was doing a key share (T4E) with some pubbies one time after running the Mars Interception. I was going to be the 4th key used and my game crashes when we're running the 3rd key and I felt kind of guilty that I'd gotten two free runs without giving anything in return.

Pre-Destiny there were usually 3-4 people at least online every evening, but almost all of those people are playing Destiny exclusively nowadays (and a little Shadow of Mordor), and the rest aren't playing nearly as much. (That's people in the two clans I know about. Overall, it feels like a lot fewer people are playing, but it's hard to be sure since they also did the change where fewer people show up on the lists in Chat even with equal people online.) Maybe people will get tired of Destiny and drift back, or maybe they'll all end up playing Advanced Warfare and one of the racing games; who knows?
