yesterday I did a Sortie with someone who had never seen or heard of Titania before. They saw me get small and fly away and were like "what the HELL was that??"

I remember coming back to the game after a long time away shortly after the initial, mostly stationary spoiler mode was introduced and seeing someone doing it during a mission kinda blew my mind. Warframes real good at surprise "oh gently caress at some point I can do THAT?" moments.

Yeah, it's always fun to see weird builds or surprisingly effective weapons, too. I saw some Vauban have spectrorage and it immediately lit a bulb in my my head. That guy wasn't using Spectrosiphon, but I certainly could. I, and a friend who also runs it, get a lot of questions about it because it's very dumb, very effective, and just prints energy. Spectrorage/siphon is just a fun Helminth infusion. It's not Gloom, but if you're running more range than power? It's solid CC and energy support. I even tossed it on my Citrine for flavor, more energy, and some better CC than her 4.

OK, so I played this years ago and now I hear it runs well on the Steam Deck, so I'm thinking of picking it up again. What's the recommended returning-player-who-was-never-really-good-at-it-despite-50-hours-in-game course of action?

basically the same as if you were a totally brand new player. progress through the star chart, do the quests that pop up, stop and farm for anything you think looks interesting get in the clan/discord to ask questions.  bookmark the wiki

Ask in discord and clanchat for things, mods that were rare and precious are now not rare and not precious (maybe you heard of "acolyte mods" which are now just somewhat annoying to get), but still a pain to get for a new player. Absolutely use the wiki, it is vital. Also, take a look at this video because while there's been reworks and reworks since it was made, changes in mods and such, the core of it is still very relevant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3iln0ZSZyI

I have a 50% coupon and about 150 plat; what's actually worth buying from the store (that also has the discount applied?) I would just buy slots but the coupon doesn't apply to them.

ok so i would say it depends a lot on where you are in the game. if you are new and 150p still represents a lot of money for you i would probably just save it for slots and other essential stuff. if you are old and just poor atm i assume you wouldnt be asking this question but would probably go with a deluxe skin or something fun.

I'm MR 15 and have been playing on and off for years, though there's still a ton of poo poo I havnt done in game (still working on a necramech for new war). I do like fashion frame but think I have most of the deluxe skins I like. I know spending Plat on weapons is generally a huge waste but considering they come with a slot and potato I'm kinda tempted to pick something I don't have up; are there any particularly good ones (that are also a pain to craft) that might actually be worth using the half off on?

I really look forward to crossplay finally being a thing so that console players don't have to deal with that system anymore. Also so I can play disruption on my phone on the metro and wonder why I'm suddenly poo poo at audio cues.

50% coups I tend to use on things that cost less than 60 plat base anyway. I try and reserve 75% for the spendy things like railjack skins or some of the more premium weapon skins, or premium frame skins that I'm not interested in the rest of the package. I think 50% is how I've unlocked most of my warframe specific idle animation sets

Does the new fancy xaku skin change how the skeleton looks? I wouldn't even consider buying it if you can't see it in missions, but if it still looks cool, I might sell some prime junk and get it. Also, I have my final warframe cooking! Just need to finish up companions, zaws, lovely prime weapons, and archguns. And arch melees... and k-drives... oh god.

Captain Vorr was a turtle man who put a bad thing on your robo-body to take control of it. I Think. The punishment for this is to be gunned to death.

I will cruise the wiki! I don't think you can redo Vor's Prize (the quest you're on) without resetting to a new account, but the breakdown is this: - You're a "Tenno" who was brought back from some kind of suspended animation by "Grineer," who are an expansionist clone army - Captain Vor is the Grineer leader who woke you up to try to force you to be a weapon for them - You did some stuff to remove a thing he put on your leg that was how he was going to force you, but it left a bomb inside - Go kill Vor, because for some reason that will disarm the bomb, and also screw that guy. A lot of the Warframe story stuff comes out from later quests or gets inferred from seeing the environments and what they're doing in them. You're not expected to know what a "Tenno" is beyond "a person who uses a Warframe suit and its powers, and who apparently talks to this Lotus person." The Grineer are fascist oppressors, the Corpus are capitalist oppressors, the Infestation is some kind of mutagenic hivemind, the Corrupted are a hivemind commandeered by some ancient hostile security system, and that's everybody you'll be fighting.

Started playing a week days ago and looking for advice on what to do next... I'm Mastery Rank 5 and have three maxed frames (Ember, Mag, Octavia). I've finished through Mercury and just unlocked Mars, though I'm still on Venus for the story missions. I guess I have to go fishing to get the mats to build an archwing for those missions? I'm a fan of controlling minions, so when I ran into a Nekros player that totally seems like my jam, eventually. Right now all the enemies seem to die very quickly but I'm assuming it won't always be that way; outside of Jackal's damage walls I never really feel in danger. Are there weapons/frames I should be focusing on at this point, or should I focus on the story missions?

If you like having AI murder buddies then check out Wukong, his blueprints available at the clan dojo - he's one of the more utilitarian frames overall, with good durability and mobility, and his playstyle focuses around summoning a clone of yourself that attacks with melee when you're using ranged weapons and vice versa

Speaking of clan dojo, new players (and anyone really) should buy stacks of the blueprints for Detonite Injector, Fieldron, and Mutagen Mass, as those are required to build the lab weapons from Grineer, Corpus, and Infested respectively. For example it takes 23 hours I think to build one Mutagen Mass, and you need 10 of them to make a Bubonico, which is a super versatile and powerul regenerating ammo shotgun. It's a good idea to always have those 3 items building in your foundry, and always use 3 "Extractors" to passively mine resources from planets. Even if you're not logged in, you can do all that from the Warframe phone app.

Those things drop from bounties on the Vallis on Venus, so the pressure on them isn't that intense, but still, keep them cooking.

Invasions also reward fully built versions of those resources and are fairly easy to do, so worth looking at. Doing the Grineer vs Corpus versions will piss off the faction you fight against eventually, but only in the sense that they'll send a boss mob after you; however, fighting in Infested Outbreak (where you automatically fight against Infested) carry no such stipulation and sometimes rewards unique things, too. Otherwise you fight for the side of your choice 3 times to qualify for the payout once the invasion ends.

FreshFeesh posted:I'm a fan of controlling minions, so when I ran into a Nekros player that totally seems like my jam, eventually. There's still a bunch of "confuse" abilities to cause enemy infighting. Just be aware that generally minion (or companion ) damage output is going to be drastically lower than the player's. The one exception (railjack crewmate with a modded player gun) takes fairly long to unlock, but as a newer player you should still keep regular specters as an option in mind to help you clearing potentially lonely starchart nodes (usually solo interceptions).

RoadCrewWorker posted:Same here, just be aware that there's an unfortunate overlap of minion summoner playstyles and the one thing that DE actually seems to actively work against (which is automated afk farming) so most "minion" abilities are usually limited in some way (duration, mobility, control) to still force you to actively do something. Totally understood, and not altogether unexpected. Even using Octavia's abilities to sow discord (pun intended) are entertaining enough, even if my buddy who started with me is putting up insane damage numbers by comparison. Basically if enemies are focusing on other things to shoot, I'm happy.

Sadly, nekros' minions do basically no damage even when using hyperspecialized endgame gimmick builds. They're basically walking distractions at the end of the day.

FreshFeesh posted:Started playing a week days ago and looking for advice on what to do next... The "open world" areas on Venus and Earth and Deimos are extra stuff that you can always go back to and do later once you've finished mars. Just keep finishing planets and doing quests. You get an Archwing from a quest on Mars, then you can buy a blueprint from a clan dojo to be able to use it in atmosphere, but you'll need to farm up a bunch of materials from the Plains of Eidolon, outside Cetus. One important tip is to level up your mods as much as you can. Mods with 10 levels don't need to be leveled up all the way, but ones with only 3 or 5 should be. Mods are your scaling. If you're not in a clan, join the goon clan in the OP of this thread. People will give you rare mods that you really should have, but are tedious to farm. Also people will answer questions in game, faster than this thread.

Unfortunately, beyond the above build, the closest you can get to being a summoner main are (post-TNW spoilers) the weekly Veilbreaker missions, where freeing the dudes with the titular device will turn them into a buddy that fights by your side (with the exception of Sneaky Sabotage). You can collect as many buddies as you can free and they do contribute. The landing craft's ability also lets you call Kahl and his buddies down to regular missions to lend support fire; though in Warframe proper they're more notable for being "free" and immune to turning hostile on you the way regular spectres would.
