Wow, I did a lot of ducat farming and he has nothing I actually need. I guess I'll buy the Viper Wraith? I want those drat Tenno cosmetics, DE. ...and an Argyle display because why not?

Who wants to sell me both weapons, primed cryo, prisma shade, and primed morphic transformer? And for how much plat or how many keys (I have a lot of the old vaulted keys from the old system)? I don't have time to farm ducats  I also have access to all the suda/hexis stuff you could ever want, but if you have that many ducats to spare you probably don't need it. I also have a spare maiming strike probably. edit: I'm not 100% sure on vulkar wraith or prisma shade. I don't get home for 9-10 hours.

Hah, I thought briefly about buying Primed Continuity from someone for plat, but I didn't realize legendary mods have a trading tax of 1 million credits. I guess I'll be popping relics to get some ducks this weekend, then.

I highly recommend cobbling together enough ducats to buy Primed Continuity if nothing else, even if you are a newer player and it'll wipe your credits out. It doesn't come around super often (although it will eventually so don't totally despair if you can't) and it is one of the single best primed mods and a huge QoL improvement for a ton of frames. Primed Reach is similarly excellent, although not quite as universal. What it really enables is turning the better polearms and whips into room blenders, which is fun and powerful in general and specifically enables some farms such as the sleep focus farm (although it's not 100% required for that).

I've only seen one get to 15, though.

For people with too much plat and not enough time/ducks, hop into trade chat and filter for "junk". You can usually buy 5 random prime pieces at a time for 8 to 10 plat total, though the price usually goes up when Baro is in town. 5 random prime pieces are worth, at minimum, 75 ducks. Prioritize cosmetics, as those can't be traded. For everything else, look at the prices on warframe.market and figure out whether it's better to turn your plat into ducks or just trade with another player.

Sounds neat. getting around on foot in the plains is awful and the archwing launcher costs too much for a new-ish player to fix it; so it's a really bad thing and I'm all about fixing it. like I went in as a pretty new player because I started on earth and here are the plains and then there was the event, and then I had a Quartakk bp I wanted to build, and the whole thing was just annoying as gently caress. smoothing that out so it's not so atrocious is critical if they ever want to sell me on "the plains, but bigger" anytime before 2019 when I have all the resources that are possible to have

My go-to source for quick ducks is buying Cernos Prime sets for 25-30 plat and trade in for 220 quackers. Seems to work out to roughly the same as prime junk (??) but it’s always a reliable source.

Here's hoping that they're actually fixing Armour scaling (which would make nerfing slash mandatory for balance) and giving some extra damage procs to the other damage types. Also changing the puncture proc, as that one makes no sense to me.

Shalebridge Cradle posted:The trick to MR tests is the same trick for everything else in this game. There is always a frame, weapon, or combination of those two that will trivialize what you're doing. This is obviously harder when you're starting out but after you have a full pokemon lineup its way easier. The hard part is remembering what powers frames have because wait what can Wukong actually do I haven't used him in two years. This is why you keep Zephyr around

Kokoro Wish posted:fixing Armour scaling (which would make nerfing slash mandatory for balance) Hunter Munitions is already pretty garbage against enemies under 40 or so -- why add extra damage as a slow DoT that takes 6 seconds to do its thing when I could just kill them right now? If armor was nerfed, it would have that same kind of value against lategame enemies.

Kokoro Wish posted:Here's hoping that they're actually fixing Armour scaling (which would make nerfing slash mandatory for balance) and giving some extra damage procs to the other damage types. So this actually makes no sense because nerfing armor already reduces the need for Slash. Slash procs do not interact with armor in any way. They are based on base damage and ignore armor. If a target has 1 armor or 1000 it's the same damage. So if you fix armor, you fix the reliance on Slash at the same time. That's the whole point. Without armor scaling, Slash is merely a DoT effect very similar to Toxin or Heat and isn't natively any more OP than they are. It ignores shields but so does Toxin. I am glad you said that however, because it shows how these systems are very complex and the solutions aren't actually as apparent as they appear. It may seem that simply fixing armor scaling will fix everything, but the reality is that if they simply removed armor tomorrow, it would create as many problems as it solves. That is a big part of why they have had several false starts on this. Right now, armor has warped the game around it at mid to high levels. This has caused the meta to shift towards finding solutions to armor, which it has: Slash+viral, corrosive, corpro, ability based armor stripping, etc. If you remove armor, then all of those builds suddenly become fairly useless and raw damage becomes king again. And the best way to apply raw damage is genocide frames like Banshee or Ember. That's already what happens in organized groups such as goon hydron runs. So if armor is just flat removed, you actually have reduced build diversity (since solutions to armor are no longer necessary) and also completely trivialized any enemies that relied on armor to be threatening. So the entire grineer faction, corrupted heavies, bursas, many of the newer bosses, etc. There's a lot more you break but I don't want to get into all of it. You might say "well don't remove armor, just fix the scaling!" But that is more complicated than it appears as well. Weapon scaling in particular is so out of control that if you removed armor scaling you might as well have just removed armor anyways. What really needs to happen is a ground up overhaul of the core defensive and offensive mechanics of the game. That's a pretty big freaking deal when you are talking about what, four or five years of accretion? More? I don't remember and I'm on mobile so Im not gonna bother checking. I don't know what the economics of that look like but I doubt it's super feasible. I hope that they can figure out some ways to address these issues piecemeal but it certainly will not be easy and is not as simple as everyone makes it out to be.

even a simple change along the lines of blanket-reducing the armor scaling by like 33% would most likely heavily sway things in some most likely unwanted direction. i really do wish the higher level stuff didn't begin and end at fucktons of armor but there will absolutely always be a small handful of crap that people solely rely on for taking on content.

You're making this much more complicated than it needs to be because you're forgetting about the enemy health types and damage resistances. "Armor" is two health types, ferrite and alloy, that has a neat secondary effect of the insanely stupid scaling of damage reduction until a unit has its armor depleted. I believe with all of my heart that DE can just say gently caress it and scale Grineer enemies based off of regular old damage resistances like the majority of the other two factions.
