This was the highlight of the stream. Steve got super butthurt when Rebecca dissed the Rakta Ballistica, and Scott even said that it would be looked at (expect nerfs considering when he looked at Ember).

The take away I got from it was... Steve has no loving idea how to balance the game, and should stay far far far far away from that aspect. He's the same guy who things that the changes to Ember were "positive". You know, the changes that made her worse.

30-40p. There was a mad rush to the bottom in the middle of the day.

I also picked up a decent stack of that new glaive mod. I figure that I'll either end up rich or earn a hard lesson about speculating on fake guns.

Syndicate procs are free ults with other bonuses attached(such as +energy) and as such pretty OP(all of them should probably be nerfed and/or reimagined).

OK I shoved 5 forma down the Prisma's throat and it kinda fuckin' owns regardless of how you build it, plus it looks better than basically every other gun in the game.

Everyone should get one of these if they can, the fact that they don't suck and look amazing is probably going to push the price up significantly after the trader departs.

This game is cool as hell, the bow is the most satisfying sniper I've ever used. I tried to buy the Rhino for smash balls, but it's EXP locked to level 2. I'm level 4 but it's still locked.
How do I see what rarity a mod is and if I add one called "+45% heat damage" will it give my weapon heat damage or does it only work with premade heat weapons?

And where's the slots you buy for platinum?

What's locking weapons/frames/whatever from you is your mastery level, not frame level or anything else. You have to level up all your weapons and frames and beat new missions to increase your mastery score, then take a test to increase it. Look at your profile and it'll tell you how close to a rank test you are.

Mod rarity is determined by what color it is, common = copper, uncommon = silver, rare = gold.

Those elemental damage mods add damage of that type to any weapon.

Weird. Yesterday afternoon, I was rocking the vaykor and had the proc going off near-constantly on tower D's. Made it kinda hard to aim when I'm blowing up every 3-4 seconds.

Logged in today and my framerate somehow went from a steady 60 unless there's a kohm mirage to mid-20s even with everything dropped to Low. Made navigating capture rushes an exercise in frustration.

Lamadrid posted:

Also someone tell me if the oberon is really worth the potato or selling prime stuff to get more warframe slots.

The oberon has a guaranteed-knockdown, insta-hit first ability that can also hit 5 other targets for decent damage, it's ult is a literal space-dunk that does hilarious amounts of damage to groups of enemies, and it's got a healing ability for NM runs. Oh and in PVP (if you ever play it), it's 1 ability knocks down players-if it doesn't instakill them, you have a ton of time to finish them off while they're trying to get up. It's basically an excal with a lower-range ult and a usable damage-dealing ability in it's first slot. I'd rank it quite a bit higher than poo poo like nekros/valkyr, etc, especially as a damage frame.

Also it looks like a deergod of some description: a deergod that megadunks motherfuckers. :cmon: Potatoed mine, and probably gonna forma it for MORE DUNKING.

E: To put it another way, did an ODD with a lvl 0 weapon, no melee, and no sentinel, and still ended up #2 in damage just dunking fools.

It's not part of the ~ideal set~ (Mesa/Excal/Saryn/Nova), but it's pretty loving good.

The prisma doesn't look good when you compare it to the best of the best, but very little does. It offers a solid 300 sustained DPS unmodded (for reference, the boltor prime has 412 and the synoid gammacor 439) and has no glaring flaws. It sucks if you only care about using the best gun ever, but if you like to have fun and switch it up it's a big shiny bullet phallus that will pull its weight at any level of content.

I picked up a Prisma Gorgon because I'd like to have options for competitive DPS in high level missions without resorting to the usual boring weapons of Somas, Boltor Prime, Amprex, or Kohm. Aside from Boltor Prime, the top-tier weapons tend to look really ugly. The mere fact you can shove some forma into this to get pretty competitive DPS is enough to warrant getting I'd say because not every weapon is terribly great with lots of forma in them. I can't even bother leveling up my Panthera to 30 let alone to forma it multiple times, hell.

The Oberon is still not good. In regular games I can finish with 80-90% damage done with the Ember just using ult and not firing my weapon once, doesn't make it good. Even after the changes horrible as they may be I'd still rather play Ember than Oberon when I'm just trying to mix it up since that's at least different from does what Saryn does but worse.

With a booster active (and there's a free 3-day right now) you can go 0-30 on leeched XP in a single high level 4-wave interception, which takes about 15-20 minutes.

Even without a booster you can take two weapons (the third being unequipped) from 0-30 in two waves iirc.
