What happens if you have almost half-a-million people watching TennoLive and many of them expecting a Twitch Drop?

Well, the answer is kind of complicated, but you've waited long enough for some closure so please read this quick post for the dirty details:

a) We had many more people watching than anticipated and our servers could not keep up with the data coming from Twitch.
b) Since we cannot turn back time, we have no way of knowing who was actually watching.
c) We have a very generous solution in spite of b).

Anyone who has logged into Warframe in the past 7 days on any platform with a Twitch linked account and did not receive the Ash Prime Drop will receive one!

We will let you know when the script is finished, should be some time this week!

Choosing that solution is legit uplifting in this pessimistic time we live in.

They do tend to err on the side of not pissing people off, the "half a million mutagen samples" incident notwithstanding.

DE has succeeded as much on concerted efforts to build goodwill with their player base as they have on their great art direction and willingness to let the player do a triple flip while shooting eight guys.

Did they re-do the Focus system? The very first thing the game had me do on logging in was pick my path again which was a little jarring. Then again, picking up this game again after a while is always jarring. But I do love it so.

they reset all your trees when they changed it a while back. you should still have all the focus points from before, though.

Hey I have a theorycrafting question that might take some explanation.

The Question: What is the best weapon for a desecrate Nekros?

The Explanation: Okay this isn't quite as simple as "Any slash weapon." Obviously we want slash and we want dismembered bodies for additional desecrate rolls. The wiki states, accurately as far as I can tell, that only enemies killed by a slash proc will be dismembered. Not the bleed damage tick, not just regular old slash damage- the proc itself. So we need to optimize for two things- slash damage, and status chance. That leans me heavily toward melee weapons. Conventional wisdom holds that the Tigris or Kohm are "good enough" due to lots of pellets and 100% status chance, but in order to reach that status chance you end up stacking so many other damage types that the overall chance of the slash proc being what actually kills the enemy start to get kind of low.

http://warframe-builder.com/Melee_W...-0-100/171334/0
So it seems like something like this Lesion build, where the only other status is a viral proc that will halve enemy health for easier slashing, is the way to go. But I never see anyone float Lesion as a great Nekros pairing. Has anyone tested this? Is the wiki wrong about what causes dismemberment?

It's just enemies that are killed by slash damage. Procs don't matter and bleed deals finishing damage. You can see this yourself by putting -status chance and +slash damage mods on a Tigris Prime and dismembering everything you hit.

Yeah I'm kind of skeptical of the wiki on this one. I will test the Tigris with a full slash build, I think I can make one without re-forma'ing.

Here's my three "To-be-simulated" builds so far for tonight. Not sure how I can get an accurate bodypart count, but I'll try.

You'll only get the Trinity if you have Twitch Prime. But you don't need the paid version of twitch to get Ash. So, yeah, link, log on, see if/what you get.

OTOH, AshP part/blueprint prices will also probably tank, so maybe not that hard to buy off of players.

Doesn't work with moochers. My wife gets free prime from her sister so I was going to link the wife's account, but it kept asking me to pay for twitch prime no matter which way round I did it.

Also i might have hosed up previously by linking my twitch to a burner amazon account with the prime trial, and then cancelling it once I got the free warframe stuff.

Either way I don't seem to be able to get prime freebies anymore.

Finally got Khora Systems to drop from Normal Onslaught. I'm finally free! I look forward to getting my cat frame and being horribly disappointed.

khora is excellent for syndicate missions; she's tough enough that the content won't ever be a problem, her abilities work well enough across every type except Spy (and even then, who cares you can probably do it) but first and foremost you can use the same maxed Animal Instinct you already have on your sentinel and Venari at the same time and they stack. Finding those tokens is now super easy. I use carrier + looter and venari and even though looter is half busted it works well enough to give me as many tokens as I have patience for.

for that alone, I like the frame. The part where she's good at other stuff is an excellent bonus. :v:

That sounds like the big Twitch push DE did last year, where you got random stuff for every [time span] you spent watching a Warframe partner. People gamed it by opening a dozen streams at once at minimum quality.

Part of the trouble is the content locust problem.

The regular veterans players will have completed half the tree and set up ultra efficient focus farming builds before DE can look at the stats and lo and behold : 80% of the playerbase have less than 5% of the nodes unlocked.

Similar to what happened with Hema. The research cost was clearly a decimal point mistake, but before they admit the SNAFU the big clans are already halfway trough the cost in a single week-end, so no correction that time.

If your a new player buy your first sentinel with your starting plats for a huge quality of life increase. Stay away from Kubros untill you have purchased and built the incubator upgrade or your doggie will die and you will be sad.

Game is good.

I am at Saturn right now and I am one assassination and a few relic cracks till penetrating Uranus. When I left off the game, I intended to do the Sands of Inarios questline as a quick diversion before rocketing into Uranus and doing the Natah and Second Dream quests, but it turns out it wasn't. I do have the first vessel opened up, but I am getting a bit tired of looking for Railgun MOAs. Should I just take the plunge into Uranus already for those quests? I mean, I am already spoiled for some of it already but if nothing else than for the system unlocks?

Sands of Inaros is one of the least grindy quests, just leave it on and go do whatever. It will be done before you know it, unless you're in a rush to get inaros.

Yeah, Inaros isn't bad at all. Just have it active and go do whatever. Railgun Moas might be the most annoying roll for the second urn but they spawn on almost every corpus mission so it's not one you need to actively farm at all, just play the game.

i guess maybe a survival or interception on a corpus tile would be the "fastest" way? I imagine you'd get the kills after 20 minutes, maybe sooner.
