If by "Cell" you mean "Orokin Cell", those are easy to farm. Find any Infestation Invasion Assassination mission and Phorid will often drop Orokin Cells. Killing Phorid is fairly quick as well.
Except Phorid doesn't drop Cells unless the planet drops cells. And waiting for Phorid to show up is a pain, I want my cells now, not in some unspecified time in the future.

I don't have the problem myself, I already had a bunch of credits and my extractor conveniently gave me 4 cells plus the ones I had stashed, but it's still pretty painful. And it's actually 7 cells since making the Akjagara takes 2 cells as well.

It's only a pain in the rear end for anyone who sold their Akbolto; it makes sense from a mastery grind perspective. You've made those Akbolto's and 30'd em? GREAT! Make a NEW weapon with them!
It's actually a pretty good progression path for newbies (Lato -> Bolto -> Akbolto -> Akjagara) but it's still a pain if you're like me and thought you wouldn't need your Akbolto after getting the Telos version.

I mean, overall it's not dumb or anything, but that doesn't take the sting away, you know? Let me bitch in peace.

The new features (Ambient Occlusion and Adaptive Exposure) use a fair chunk of GPU. Turn those off (they're toggles in Display options) and you should get your old performance back. Remember to restart the game after changing the settings.

Yeah. I think out of like... running Phorid into the ground like 50 times, I've only gotten MAYBE Gallium like once or twice. The rest of the times were Orokin Cells. If you need them cells, Phorid is who you need to call. Does Phorid have a "head" by the way? I want to be able to one-shot him with my dread, and shooting that thing that remotely resembles a head doesn't seem to do much :(.

Turns out he is farming it for Orokin cells to build the soma prime he bought and other prime gear that will make him a good player :doh: Im afraid to ask how much of mommy's money he has given to others rather than playing the game.

My favorite is in the new spy missions when you manage to not set off an alarm. "They won't even know we were here" almost immediately followed by "Corpus walkers inbound to your location"

So! The new batch of augments and other datamined stuff.

[PLACEHOLDER] Chaos Augment - Enemies entering the effect range will be inflicted with Chaos. Effect range lasts for |PCT_CHANCE|% of the ability duration and shrinks over time.
[PLACEHOLDER] Snow Globe Augment - Enemies that enter have a |FROZEN_PCT|% chance to become frozen solid for |DURATION| seconds.
[PLACEHOLDER] Crush Augment - Survivors have their armor decreased by |ARMOUR|% and become unable to move for |DURATION| seconds.
[PLACEHOLDER] Invisibility Augment - Weapon noise is reduced by |NOISE_REDUC|% while invisible.
[PLACEHOLDER] Blade Storm Augment - Melee multiplier lasts |DURATION|% longer before it resets.
[PLACEHOLDER] Overload Augment - Converts |SHIELD_PCT|% of damage dealt into shields split between Volt and allied Tenno.
[PLACEHOLDER] Radial Blind Augment - Blinded enemies are open for finishers, taking |DAMAGE_PCT|% more damage.
[PLACEHOLDER] World On Fire Augment - Enemies hit have a |KNOCKDOWN|% chance of being knocked down.
[PLACEHOLDER] Energy Vampire Augment - Excess energy replenishes shields by |SHIELD_PCT|%.
[PLACEHOLDER] Contagion Augment - Melee kills will leave behind a cloud of gas that deals |DAMAGE| damage per second for |DURATION| seconds within |RADIUS| meters.
[PLACEHOLDER] Sonic Boom Augment - Enemy armor is reduced by |ARMOUR|% for |DURATION| seconds.
[PLACEHOLDER] Vortex Augment - Vortex's duration is increased by |DURATION_INC|% of its max duration for each additional Vortex thrown into it.
[PLACEHOLDER] Roar Augment - Enemies within |RANGE| meters will suffer from a puncture proc.
[PLACEHOLDER] Worm Hole Augment - Allies that travel through wormhole gain a |SPEED|% speed bonus for |DURATION| seconds.
[PLACEHOLDER] Shadows of the Dead Augment - Shadows within |RANGE| meters each take |LINK_PCT|% of the damage done to Nekros in his stead.
[PLACEHOLDER] Reckoning Augment - Enemies killed leave a field that deals |DAMAGE| damage per second to enemies and adds |ARMOUR| armour to friendlies for |DURATION| seconds.
[PLACEHOLDER] Tornado Augment - Creates an additional |NUM_TORNADOES| tornadoes. All tornadoes are |SIZE_MULT|% their original size and won't pick up enemies.
[PLACEHOLDER] Tentacle Swarm Augment - Enemies killed by tentacles have a |DROP_CHANCE|% chance at additional drops.
[PLACEHOLDER] Sleight of Hand Augment - Pickups are turned into proximity mines that deal |DAMAGE| damage with a |PROC_CHANCE|% proc chance.
[PLACEHOLDER] Cataclysm Augment - Duration is increased by |DURATION|s whenever an enemy is killed inside.
[PLACEHOLDER] Shatter Shield Augment - Reflected bullets gain a |PROC_PCT|% chance of staggering enemies.

I'm looking forward to Shatter Shield, Sleigh of Hand, Tentacle Swarm, Shadows of the Dead, Energy Vampire, Overload, Crush and Chaos.


Also:
New mod:
Blood Trail (MarkTargetPistolModName)
Tracking Shot (MarkTargetRifleModName)

The description: Target visible on map for |val| seconds if hit.

:v:

New primed mods:
Primed Reach
Primed Pistol Mutation

:suicide:

Possibly new mods in the future:
HEALTH RESTORE CHANCE - |val|% Chance to Restore Health on Kill
SHIELD RESTORE CHANCE - |val|% Chance to Restore Shield on Kill
HOLSTER AUTO RELOAD - |val|% Clip Reloaded per Second when Holstered


Also a bunch of strings about PvP. You'll have separate PvP and PvE loadouts. PvP loadouts need PvP-compatible gear. I'm not sure if this means their stats will be shared across modes but I strongly doubt it.
At least one new PvP mod: Increases starting energy. The new syndicate is so far called the Conclave. It has 11 sigils, an "entry" sigil and 10 "rank" sigils.

PS4 players will be getting a new sigil. Same with Tenno Live 2015 attendees.

Darvo's shop's inventory will be time-limited and one per customer.

New Endless Defense sub-mode: Now you have to protect two points at the same time. (You protect two ships being loaded with cargo. The longer you go the more cargo it loads and I assume the more rewards you get)

Oh and just in case you missed it: Odonata Prime and Volt Prime incoming.
Odonata Prime: One more - polarity, 400 base shields (from 300), 400 base health (from 300), 1.05 movement speed (from 1.00)
Volt Prime doesn't seem to have changes implemented yet.

The graphic overhaul is pretty intense, the game certainly looks better for me now... and it's not like it was ugly before. Lightning improved a lot and the colors seem more crip. I also really like the new sneaky, sneaky... especially the stealth takedown xp multiplyer. But the best thing is the new Grataka sound, Grataka with maxed shred is pure audiogasm for me.
