I am so confused :psyduck:

Picked this up again after not playing for a year or so and.. are there no more mods/cards/whatever? Also got the intro mission then was dumped in the ship with all my old skill and gear, and evidently I need to re-buy the bow.

Is the plasma sword any good still? I seem to be missing a bunch of weapons I faintly recall-were they just removed?

How many Formorians have spawned? I have 6/15 at the moment, and I thought I had done every one that spawned, but people are talking in clan chat about having 7/15 and even 8/15.

There's been 7. One guy got double credit through some sort of bug. You probably missed the very first one (as did I), but apparently there's like 2 weeks of this stuff left so you should have no trouble hitting 15.

There are several weapons which are no longer obtainable, but they weren't removed from inventories. Plasma sword was never good.

Skill mods don't exist any more; you unlock/upgrade skills as your frame levels up. You have 8 mod slots instead of 10 to compensate. The intro mission doesn't let you keep your stuff if you're an old player apparently (I wouldn't know, I started after it became a thing).

That's exactly right; if you have an account that was created before the tutorial quest was added, you didn't get to keep the stuff you got, but MK-1 stuff is cheap as hell on the market anyway, just tens of thousands of credits altogether.

Welcome back. Weapons were not removed.

Please recognize that two types of mods will be dropping for you until you complete the tutorial portion: damaged and undamaged.

Undamaged mods are the ones you were using previously.

Damaged mods have lower drain values, lower rank caps, lower stats, and require less cores to max out. They are, in effect, starter versions of what you've already got. You can safely just fuse these into other mods and never use them.

Power cards, though, those have been removed. You now have two extra blank slots to put stuff into, and all your powers, all the time.

Thanks for the replies-starting to get things sorted piece by piece.

Sorry I'm being retarded here, but I got a new issue: There's things I have and have recorded progress with, but they're showing up as not owned (heat dagger, Cronus, Latron, etc). Do they re-unlock after tutorial, or am I just stuck re-building them?

E: The ship interface and the earth tile-sets are bitchin' as hell.

There's limited inventory (expandable through platinum). You probably leveled them then sold them to make room for something else.

Also, the fomorian missions that get completed successfully (as in the overall mission hits 0.0%) will come back around again for you to do them again.

The Mercury relay mission appeared a second time and I was able to get it after missing it the first time.

Keeping in mind that I'm rocking a lvl30 frame and running the tutorial/campaign missions, it's amazing. Stealth kills with bow/kunai, then just dash everywhere like a madman. I'm guessing that once I get somewhere close to actually properly-leveled enemies though, I'm gonna get rear end-stomped.

Yeah, that is entirely your own fault. You could have asked or checked the trader.
The trader didn't accept BPs when they released him first, and I checked. And who the hell was I supposed to ask when the trader sticks around for only two days anyway to begin with when the time could have been better off just building the parts? There were like two hotfixes and then they added the blueprint trade-ins.

Something's amiss when a mechanic like this requires you to have to ask the forums, and nobody in clan chat I remember mentioned that the BPs not being convertible was a bug until that hotfix showed up. Nobody stopped me exactly either when I said in clan chat I was building prime parts in anticipation of the void trader days beforehand either.

If there's only one fomorian a day like I saw before, you'll kind of get screwed I'd imagine. But the event has been going from the 19th and it's the 24th, so the expectation is something like 23-ish fomorians total, so you can miss maybe a total of 7 before you'll be unable to get to 15.

Plus, he has a power strength hat.

Edit: Here is an idea. Don't craft your entire inventory of prime parts based on absolutely nothing. You could have, oh, I don't know, made one item to test it first? But no, you seem to have been so utterly convinced that your idea was correct that you made everything you could all at once. I'm pretty sure that there is a clause in the EULA somewhere that releases DE from responsibility for you being incredibly goddamn dumb.

They've been pushing it harder than I've ever seen this season, but I didn't play a year ago. It's certainly not an accident so many major content updates have been dropping with so little time between. It's simply my estimation that this is more content dumping than November/December last year as their asset infrastructure has grown a lot in the meantime.

I assume that has more to do with their cash injection from the chicken deal than any particularly nefarious reasons.
Nothing will be as bad as that time they got caught with sub-1% drop chances, anyways.

Oh, so they're really just continuing the proud legacy of T3 Exterminate infuriating everyone. Now it all comes into focus.

Hyper Low droprates for new thing are to be expected, but the really kick in the nards is how difficult it is to get specific T3 keys on purpose at this stage of the game. It's a pretty dismal array of options.

One time, I did a thing.
The extreme rarity is keeping the Prime plat price almost as high as DE's price for the base frame/weapon. I wonder if they'll make that the default, with anything tradeable being extremely rare to keep the tradechat price competitive with the DE store price.

edit:

Summon-build Nekros is viable for t4d. Bombards bring real damage to the table, Nullifiers are massive shields that don't really go down ever, and corrupted healers will revive downed Tenno.

Bring a non-crit gun with a poo poo ton of dps though, cuz you have to kill these valuable mobs before your teammates do and nullifier shields don't take crit damage. Torid's actually a good choice since nullifiers eat damage if the aoe even touches their shield, and they're are easily the most important mob to revive.

Understand that if you can't get nullifiers (because your teammates kill them first), and you are relying on nekros at all, you are hosed.

2 failed runs to 20 because I couldn't get any good mobs(plus one because vor was making GBS threads 0's at us). a tragedy.

I haven't had much luck in game so I'll try asking here. I need Overextended and Fleeting Expertise and am willing to pay, trade and maybe perform various sexual favors for them. Or just do vault runs but it's hard to find people for those too. Getting those two mods would help me immensely; same name in game as here.

It is officially Goon Recommended to have 2 copies of both FE and Streamline, one of each maxed and one reach one rank short of max. That way you can do either just FE or Streamline as needed, or max efficiency (75%) with even numbered mod cost in two slots. The two slot 75% setup is ideal for many of the good Mesa, Nyx, and other frame builds.
