I stopped playing this a while ago and tried it again after hearing about the movement revamp.

I had to re-do the tutorial and got to play with the bow, then I got to play my old character again.

Is there a non-cash shop way to get the the bow? It was a pretty rad weapon.

You should be able to get the blueprint for the regular Paris from the market for credits. Paris Prime drops in the void, and I'd be a lot of goons have spare parts kicking around. Dread is about on par with Paris Prime but only drops from the Stalker, who'll send you a threatening email when you kill a boss, and has a small chance to show up in your missions thereafter.

Which Syndicate mods are basically Must-Haves? I went Hexis, and got 25k standing with them (max rank, already got the weapon).

Syndicate weapon mods can be very nice for some weapons. Pilfering Swarm makes Hydroid a worthwhile farming frame. I like Perpetual Vortex for Vauban on defense missions or other mission types where you'll be immobile for a while. Greedy Pull pre-nerf is, of course, the Best Thing Ever (yawn) but post-nerf using it means you're just greedy and selfish, so go nuts.

Or just not pull health/energy orbs. Knowing DE though, there's probably no way to differentiate between loot types.

I thought conventional wisdom was you were better just tossing another vortex out.

To the OP, other situationally-useful syndicate mods are resonance (banshee), irradiating disarm (loki), post-nerf greedy pull/shield transference (mag), vampire leech (trinity), and jet stream (zephyr). Mostly because the builds are not particularly point intensive.

edit: and the mirage damage one.

Despoil is a requirement for Nekros. His desecrate drops health orbs at 2-3 times the rate of mana orbs, and with despoil you can keep the loot train rolling all night long.

They should have 'fixed' greedy pull by making its physics fling pickups in the same crazy directions that Pull does for normal mobs.

It might bring you those five energy orbs. Or it might send them sailing over your head and twice as far away behind you as they started. Or it might go like ninety degrees away or straight up for no reason.

Any weapon mod that ups damage/multishot. The Rhino iron skin one is useful just to be able to refresh it. Ihere's a new Oberon one that looked interesting but might just be gimmick. Chilling globe for Frost is a must.

Greedy Pull no longer affects loot globally. Just your instance of loot.

It's actually still great for credit-mongering with Chroma's Effigy since credits are global pickups.

Equilibrium kicks the poo poo out of Despoil since a max efficiency Nekros will easily be able to sustain Desecrate off of the health orb energy heal, while stacking even more regen from energy orbs. Get Soul Survivor instead to punch people back to life from across the map.

The Oberon one's a gimmick, and Frost can just recast Snow Globe now to freeze everything inside. Ice Wave Impedance is decent for a slow that stacks with Snow Globe, I suppose. Resonance is a must-have for Banshee, and Greedy Pull is still good for fueling Shield Polarize rampages.

So I was just doing a T4D with a group of goons. We get to wave 20 and everyone decides it's time to cash out.

I selected leave with the rest of them but at about 2 seconds left the game suddenly migrated hosts.

All that loot, gone.

Sometimes I really hate this game.

New patch out, some cut notes (the first block is a bunch of PvP poo poo :jerkbag:

Altered the visual effect of explosions that come from the Concealed Explosives Mod. :haw:

Made adjustments to the Tyl Regor boss battle that should make exiting the water in the third stage much easier. :argh:

Tyl Regor will now teleport more frequently during his boss fight, making it more difficult for players to determine his location. :jerkbag:

Fixed players being able to swim through the air in the hidden loot room on the Grineer Underwater Lab tileset.
Fixed enemies not being so perceptive in the Archwing portions of the Grineer Underwater Lab tileset.
Fixed the Escape key interrupting the water exit transition, causing players to stay on Archwing outside of the water. :(

DEEP FRIED DIARRHEA
So I'm choosing my next forma requiring build and I was wondering what I should choose out of the following:
  • Grinlok
  • Phage
  • Quanta
  • Sybaris
  • Torid
  • Kohmak
  • Nukor
  • Pyrana
I've got a pretty good selection of weapons already, aside from Prime weapons of which I only have a few. Is there anything in there that is just head-and-shoulders above the rest or failing that, just super fun? If it was up to me I'd probably choose between the Phage or the Kohmak but I figured I'd get some opinions.

From a previous post:

quote:

The 3rd part of the Natah questline (the survival one) has a 10 minute limit and stops counting once you pass that point. Fortunately the enemies stop leveling at 28 as well so you can stay as long as you possibly want to cash in on massive amounts of resources and mods! The last thing you need to know is that the Drekar Heavy Gunners have a 100% chance to drop a mod and a rare resource (gallium). When killed with a Pilfering Swarm Hydroid that means you will be getting 4-5 mods and 2-3 sets of rare resources (gallium)! Unfortunately you can only do this mission once so pick a good squad and stay as long as you can!



As for mine, we ran a Frost, Nekros, Ev Trin and Hydroid and made out like bandits. We stayed in for just over 1.5hrs (and I was running credit and resource boosters).

Do note that if you've finished the Natah questline already you'll have to piggyback off somebody else's.

Also gently caress me this game is so addicting for some reason. It must scratch that itch in my brain where bars fill up and the random ARPG drops like D3, etc.

Quanta is worth forma if you want laser accurate twin lasers or shooting cube of explosives. Shame you missed on Quanta Vandal though.

So I found an interesting bug in Warframe that says a lot about how they program things. I took the Kulstar and dread into a mission. They both use sniper ammo and I've learned that Warframe doesn't keep track of ammo for weapons but for weapon types. Dread had a maximum amount of ammo of 30 and when I switched to Kulstar after running out of arrows, the only bullets I had for it were in the clip.

That's not a bug though? That makes sense for how they've set their system up.

They usually come with little to no announcement ahead of time. No schedule for them really. You see them happen a lot though when they decide to run some challenge event that probably has a Wraith/Vandal weapon attached to it.
