camels aren't so great
I finally got Saryn cooking :toot: and finished Mot so i'm looking forward to the next quests, although unfortunately not without some of my most uneven pub experiences since i started playing. Hosts so laggy that it was actually impossible to hit the targets in Kela's arena, low MR players going 0-19 in the Sedna arenas or being straight afk for the entire duration of the match, bonus if the host is so wonky i get spawnkilled twice before even gaining control of my character. On the opposite end it was basically impossible to extract at any point during Mot until i went solo (and beat Vor on my own) because every game filled up with players determined to go a full 60 minutes and refusing to even argue about it. Survival really needs a way to kick or split sessions, having to idle afk in some jesus-spot so you don't lose all your progress is such an awkward workaround.

Getting the actual Saryn parts was surprisingly pretty fun. I'm still sitting on like 50+ entry points for the boss from helping other players in the arenas, and i actually really liked the bossfight once i got a hang of the mechanics! ... as long as it doesn't break on a technical level and people bring something to crack her armor - otherwise it turns into an awkward bulletspongy standoff. Absolutely no comparison to the Tyl Regor shitshow or Equinox grind.

Hi, sorry for the random post but I'm hoping the Warframe thread can help me. I have a family member who loves this game but I don't really know anything about it. I want to get him some premium currency he can use in game for Christmas but I don't want to get a present as lame and out of touch as I actually am. ("I got you some Playmobils because I know how much you love the Legos, boy" :downs:)

So as best as I can tell what he needs is Platinum and he could buy that with a Steam gift card if I get him a one of those -- is that right? The big issue is: what is a useful amount of platinum/money? Like I probably can't spent much more than $40 so would that be worth it?
$40 is plenty. Just don't give it to him with the expectation that he'll use it right away. The game periodically gives out personal discounts ranging from 25% to 75% as daily login rewards, so he can make that money go a lot farther if he waits for the right time to spend it.

Shoot a leg until it trips, shoot the now-unshielded body until it gets up, repeat. Unless you have a decent gun with good mods on it in which case you can just shoot the body and overpower the shield with brute force.

Probably. The issue is that you have weak guns with almost no mods at that point of the game, so it can take painfully long. I had similar trouble with that fight and needed several tries and heavy use of Excalibur's 4 to finish it. Are you online now? I'd be happy to run you through it.

If you're ever having trouble in the early star map just go Public. 90% chance you'll find a vet grinding early poo poo or trying new builds that will carry you easily.

Just make sure you grind out mods while you go, because nobody is on the later planets. Expect to have to solo all of Sedna or as the clan.

Maybe it's different on console vs PC, but most of the 'lol pubbie bad' isn't really true. It's mostly badasses with the occasional outstandingly stupid motherfucker that leaves a bad impression.

My favorite dumb pubbie was some Excalibur Prime who started the mission by making fun of me and another guy for being in regular Excal, then he kept running off and dying instead of hanging around by the defense objective like the rest of us. Nobody went to go res him because of his poo poo attitude so he raged a bunch about how we're all useless idiots and good luck and quit.

Of course, without his superior abilities and damage we were quickly overwhelmed by the infestation we finished 20 waves with just the three of us with plenty of spare time to laugh at him in chat along the way.

Pubbies are competant enough until they need to do something like defend an objective, or do an interception mission, or actually move through a void fissure mission rather than hanging around in one area raging about how nothing is spawning when the loving reactant is right there dammit if you'd just loving move to the exit.

Pubbies are, on the whole, still incredibly dumb. It's just that the bar for contributing is pretty low when even a poorly modded weapon will obliterate star chart enemies as long as you're firing it in more or less the correct direction once you actually get the mods ranked up.

Made the mistake of doing an Interception Arby's with pubs. They all died within the first two minutes, and sat there arguing among themselves about who sucked the most. "gently caress all of you" was uttered multiple times as they tried to explain away their badness.

Nukor has a really high crit multiplier for some reason, so there's a gimmick you use Harrow and/or an Adarza Kavat to boost your crit chance and do stupid amounts of damage. It's really not worthwhile outside of the simulacrum.

Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.
I refuse to pub with anyone if it is a Spying mission, these people can't hack for poo poo.

Otherwise, I appreciate help in Defense or Survival, actively look for it in Intercepting - I can beat it by myself but one more person is already a boon - and anything else is fine.

I only hate when a tweaked out Level 99 guy joins in, rush the gently caress out to the objective and the exit and I'm lagging behind grabbing the spoils in the massacre that happened :saddowns:

I was getting nuked by Jackal too because I forgot how fragile you are at the start at the game, go to your Mods section and level either the one that gives you +% of Shield to 3 or 4 and Vitality to 2 or 3. That's going to carry you for a while until you have Endo to level other stuff.

the railgun was opticor, but most sniper rifles work well enough. titania's also pretty good at popping dropships.

as for parts-only weapons, that's mostly invasion rewards. there's also gorgon wraith, whose parts drop from the razorback event which happens periodically.

Jackal was the first sign to come of bosses having timed vulnerability combined with very high burst damage attacks. The former you can just wiki or learn (because if you pub and get some pro to instakill it you have 0 chance of even seeing what's going on), the latter are - before you get tanky mods or frames with invuln abilities - a mixture of either not letting them live long enough or evading a lot and/or hoping the boss is targeting someone or something else.

1. At low MR, a properly built sniper rifle of some variety is probably the easiest to get going, but there are lots of options. A corrosive-modded Tenora will do a pretty solid job of burning them down, for example. Soma would probably do alright as well. Once MR requirements are no longer a concern stuff like Opticor, Euphona Prime, and Tiberon Prime all become very viable options. Some frames are pretty good at popping them too, like Titania as previously mentioned.

2. All Wraith and Vandal weapons have blueprints that can be traded. Prisma and syndicate weapons can also be traded so long as they have never been used in any way (no affinity, no potato, no focus lens).
