Mag is my favorite frame bar none (that awesome helmet being a large reason why), but what makes the Exergis this good as opposite to say, a Lanka? Usually I just run a gas/mag Cycron with a blast/cor Falcor for maximum Tron cosplay, the Cycron, being a beam weapon, absolutely POURS damage into the magnetize bubble. It doesn't do the awesome punchthrough trick like the Lanka, but the gas damage inflicted is more than enough to kill everything in splitseconds. Plus, my mag is modded for minimum Duration, so the bubbles explodes after about 3-4 seconds, and one clip from the Cycron is more than enough to turn them into mini nukes.

...buuuuuut Exergis might fit pretty well too. I might actually start to run mag with a primary again. Anyone got an Exergis Riven they're willing to sell?

at the end of the day im sure they have accountants analyzing this poo poo and run their formulas and decided these were the most profitable price points.
In some cases it's even better than that. Just before I signed up, players complained that the Prime Access packs had exclusive cosmetics. If you already had the Prime frame and just wanted the plat and cosmetics, you needed to buy them again just to get the exclusive cosmetics.

The solution they came up with (and this is why large chunks of the community get very defensive if people accuse DE of being money hungry) was to ask the community what they wanted to pay for just the cosmetics. And the community decided about $10-15 less than the prime + accessories pack seemed fair.

I mean obviously there were the ones saying that everything should be free, but generally most of the suggestions seemed to average out at the price that is currently set. It was one of the things that actually attracted me to trying the game since it happened around the time Destiny was under fire for really cranking up the eververse poo poo.

TennoGen's good poo poo. Would rather throw some pocket money at an artist (and a decent dev team) for some crazy rear end space ninja cloak, than dive into the pit of loot box cosmetics that every other game on the market offers.

I don't know if it was me, but here, have the best possible Chroma.



Feel free to swap out similar mods if you don't have any of that, Chroma kicks rear end even without being minmaxed to hell and back.

Also I maxed Primed Continuity and dropped a point of Streamline since I made that, so pretend there's a little more duration.

Yeah, tennogen is definitely expensive for most profiles of players (myself included), but it's good to know some people are making a livelihood out of their items for sale, and that DE allows them enough of a cut to make this happen.

I can't wait to see how Hildryns powers running off of shields works in practice. Like, will the augur set just regen shields at the same time they get spent? And that archgun looks badass.

Augur gains Shields based on energy spent, and as I understand it she spends shields instead of energy so I would think the augur set bonus would actually do nothing for her

or fortunately, if you're an eidolon addict. i think i have four or five dupes of r3s.

i'll probably sell them at a massive discount to clan people though, everyone's given me so much stuff since i joined i'd rather pay it forward than sit on a hoard of plat.

Does Adaptation gently caress with the amount of energy you get back from Rage? I'm playing about with a Nidus build and levelling it up in onslaught, but I don't really feel like the amount of energy I get back is particularly huge, and i'm wondering if it's because rage works out its energy refund after the Adaptation DR has been applied (so 90% DR means only 10% of the 40% damage-as-energy)

Rage works off of final damage to health, so Adaptation probably does gently caress with it :v:

So, what's the average pace most people who don't spend real money on the game get new frames?

Also, and I have a feeling the answer to this question is going to be depressing, but is there a way to get cool syandanas without outright buying them or trading?

And finally, what the best way to get around on foot usually? I've settled into a pattern of roll > slide > twirl >repeat. I might also try and double roll if the twirl finishes in mid air. Am I doing that right?

I never spent a dime on warframe, mostly used the free twitch prime Trinity which carried me through the newbie levels being able to keep everyone topped off on health and energy, excalibar umbra was also good since both came with potatoes and didn't need much forma.

Took about a month before I figured out I could sell fish for plat every day and then my warframe count ballooned from 2-3 to as many as I could get my hands on, I have a big post in my history about how to make plat as a new player.

For Syandana, so long as it doesn't have a dollar value next to it (due to being player made) and has a plat value you can get those without paying real money so long as you trade your stuff for plat regularly.

For movement just bullet jump as early and often as possible while navigating doorways.

A gas modded Lanka will do much the same thing but be worse as a gun you'd want to use normally (because it's slow).

It's a combination of long projectile lifetime plus lots of punch through that makes the magic happen within a mag bubble. Lanka's advantage is that you don't actually need to mod for more punch through like you do with Exergis.

As far as I can tell he's trying to 100% the game for free. In this case, I suspect it's using the gems to make in-demand arcanes. That in and of itself would be meh, but he's doing that with everything. All the time.
