So I just finished War Within and I was wonder if there's any practical use for leaving the Warframe other than being able to punch some Grineer with your own fists?

Also did the Good/Evil choices during the War Within quest matter somehow?

Afaik you need to leave your warframe on the kuva harvesting missions, and I think someone said that firing a beam from your operator removes armour from enemies? No idea about the good bad choices, they may become more important in future updates.

Also, at the end of War Within Ordis says that "Maybe you can help me clean that infestation?" and I was incredibly disappointing in the fact that you CAN'T.

You can use it to teleport your frame by sneaking into places with your op in shadows, then recalling the frame, and it's important for the new blood currency mechanic.

The Good/Evil thing shows up in your profiles, as does your op now.

WF is a game all about enjoying the mechanics of being a magic space ninja. Either that's your deal or not, everything else can be ignored.

I got pretty burned out and then I realized, "I don't need to have that thing immediately." It was really liberating. If you try and min max it ie grinding mastery at Akkad for a weekend to get up to 13 you're going to go bananas.

Just do a sortie and like, maybe a few relics for example.

Don't do three 20,000 cryotic runs at Hieracon to get a specific relic, do 10 relic fissures to get void traces, and then run 2 maxed relics to maybe get a Tigris BP.

I mean, you have to shut down the instant gratification and loss aversion parts of your brain.

Also I've only formaed one Warframe and while it was worth it that one time, that way lies madness.

I'd argue that once you have a few guns in decent shape throwing Forma into a Warframe ups the fun because things become a little bit challenging again. Just have a sortie capable frame on hand and Warframe level is totally irrelevant for normal play but Forma has a huge impact on strength of your Warframe

I figure once I get up to MR13 (currently 11) I'll start forma-ing some of my favorites, but it seems like usually just adding 1 doesn't do much and you really need to add 2-3 to get good gains.

My Nova Prime has four Forma on her. If I remember right, one was removing a D polarity.

Having high Mastery Rank really helps with the Forma process, I must say - having 44 mod capacity on a freshly Forma'd weapon/Warframe/companion if the potato is already installed severely reduces the annoyance quotient. But, uh, getting there will take a while.

Which is a pain if you're a casual like myself and missed out on a load of cool new mods tied to a limited time event :saddowns:

I actually constantly find that I'm missing random mods that I feel like I should have picked up along the way by now. It feels harder than it should be to keep track of all of them.

So I just finished TWW. You know since the only conclave I really do is Lunaro, in a way Teshin is my fatherly sportsball coach who taught me to believe in myself the night before the big game :shobon:

Also I think we're really due a new relay in the form of a snowy ninja mountain fortress.


Teshin knows the truth that Operators and Warframes were bred and crafted solely to play Lunaro. The Lotus misunderstands their awesome mass-killing power and believes that's their purpose.

The Purge that destroyed the Orokin and that Stalker hates all Tenno for was just the result of a particularly tough game of Lunaro. Never perform the Void Dunk.

Don't put points into luck, they said.

It all depends on your playstyle and what you like to do. I'm MR 8 and I have a few weapons forma'd a couple times, twin grakatas with 5, and a few frames with 1-2. WF is my game for mindless action game grinding, though, so Akkad is like a second home to me. Some days I get home from work and all I want to do is throw spore packs like ninja stars at my shed skin and infested for a few hours.

I probably have enough mastery to be 11 or 12, but I've been lazily stuck at the bugged stealth test for like a week. I should really just build a redeemer.

Just tried this. Got to the third room until one of the jump slams from behind a pillar hit but didn't kill the last mob and I instantly got detected by it, and detected as soon as I re-spawned until I failed.

Maybe tomorrow.

I get one riven mod from War Within, it's locked and it seems like I need to equip it on a weapon for it to unlock but it just won't stick?

I'm having this exact same problem. Doesn't look like there's a way around it, just gotta wait for the fix.

I've also got an absolutely kickass Karak mod. Anyone who's used it, think having an additional Serration, Infected Clip and Fanged Fusillade would make that gun good?
