It's the 18th, where is my Mesa Prime? Are they going to make us wait until the server reset? I thought it would go up when they did the Fortuna pt. 2 update, but apparently not.

In the spirit of Tennobaum

I've given basic frames away twice before as some frames in this game seem to cause outright despair and loathing for unlucky people, those times were just in response to someone's frustration in goon chat.

I'll be giving away any 1 basic Warframe of the winner's choice.

All you have to do is write a post here on why you hate trying to farm X frame, whoever writes what I think to be the best tale of despair and misery at how you've tried to farm X frame and have just given up in frustration will be gifted that frame, to bring light and delight and a merry Goonmas to you.

I'm expecting Equinox, Ivara, Harrow and Nidus to feature highly here.

But wait, there's more.

Because it's Tennobaum, I'll be giving away a second basic frame, to be given via random selection to anyone who has spoken their tale of RNG Grinching. After picking the tale of ultimate warframe Grinching, I'll come up with some random method of determining the 2nd frame to give away.

Please label your posts with RNG Grinch at the top, for my sanity in trying to find them all.

This will run until the evening of the 22nd (I'm a Brit, so that might be lunchtime or the next day for you), and then i'll decide and randomise on the 23rd.

Happy Tennobaum

I lost my job in 2017 and ended up having to sell my house and move into a place that my father-in-law owns to try and save money while I go back to school. The area we moved to is rural, and the only local ISP with cable/DSL has the end of their service area about 200 feet from where I am. I have satellite internet so unless I join a group through invitation, I'm pretty much guaranteed to be solo, which is not fun most of the time. Often, due to the poo poo connection when I've tried to farm Ivara it won't register that I'm interacting with the terminals, doors, etc. So I had resolved to just back burner that until I finish the program I'm in, get a new job, and move. Flipsixthreehole in game.

Okay, it looks like the fish dont spawn trapped in the rocks anymore and can swim away better so you'll have to aim a little more, but they'll still bunch up.

Using cetus spears will damage servo fish, get the new electric spear.

The fortuna mining laser is availiable at level 1 and is outright superior to all other mining lasers.

the fortuna mining laser is flat out better than the poe laser, and can be used in either location. while you can use the wrong kind of spear on fish, you only get damaged versions so you shouldn't bother.

Synthbuttrange: May 6, 2007

The second tier Fortuna spear stuns every fish around the target fish. It doesnt actually damage cetus fish so you cant directly fish but if you've hotkeyed different spear types its a way to stop fish from scurrying about in cetus. definitely fiddly tho.

I have spent far too long farming for Octavia's Neuroptics. Every run through Derelict Survival is like a knife to my soul, cutting away the joys of life, leaving a withered rotten core. I'm terrified to do Harrow.

I hate invulnerability phases.

I'm not saying they're objectively bad game design; they can be used properly, if they're short, clearly indicated, and if you give the player something to do that is at least as engaging as shooting the boss while the boss is invulnerable.

Tyl Regor not only has invulnerability phases, the adds that he spawns while invulnerable -- that must be defeated to advance -- have invuln phases of their own.

Why DE? What did we do to deserve this?

To top it off, I have farmed five Equinox Night Aspect Neuroptics without getting any single other Night part.

Please free me from bad game design hell.

Neo M2 and Neo Z2 are in T2 Interception missions (both have a 7.14% chance from rotation B and 16.67% chance from rotation C)
Axi H4 is in T3 Interception missions (12.5% drop chance from rotation B and C)
