I think a lot of people are just trying to forget that fishing is a thing in the game. I mean, I actually started playing because I read an article that mentioned how Cetus introduced fishing to Warframe, but I'm probably a tiny minority. (and on a side note, Duviri fishing is poo poo and I am disappoint)

That was this patch too! Hunting is easy as hell now, you can fly around in your archwing and just scope in occasionally to have a nice big ui marker show you exactly where the nearby critters are, even if they're not in the scopes fov.

Is it easier to get the viral dog vulpa thing now? I watched a YouTube and decided it would be too hard for me to not aggro the dog while trying to train other mobs onto it

In game logic, hosed-up foxes get to equip mods for both space dogs and space cats. edit: Also, there's a stance mod for rapier in the the game called Vulpine Mask, this is a reference to Zorro, who's name is Spanish for fox.

big cummers ONLY posted:Is it easier to get the viral dog vulpa thing now? I watched a YouTube and decided it would be too hard for me to not aggro the dog while trying to train other mobs onto it Should be easy enough now, though imo there are two better options now: A hound with Synergized Prospectus, Manifold Bond, and optionally Momentous Bond. You build for viral heat/electric on its melee(The puncture+impact for crit and mercy kill utility, slash+puncture for damage and crit). A correctly built hound also has enough shield to have 100% upkeep of reinforced bond. Diriga, if someone told me I'd be using this even a couple of months ago I'd ask what the hell they were smoking. Basically same build as above, only diriga ability you want is Arc Coil, which will be constantly proccing the status from your weapon(I recommend vulklok so you can use tenacious bond) because it has an absurdly low cooldown of like 5 seconds or something meaning two kills refreshes it. The nice thing about the diriga is also that you can load up on all the vigilante set mods so you don't have to run them on your rifle.

Mentioning puncture and cold reminds me, I wonder when they'll get to gas and blast which are the remaining bad damage types. Both have neutral at best damage modifiers against anything that actually matters, gas's effect doesn't scale well, and blast's status is pointless.

I could be wrong, but I used to do a lot of blast on single-shot weapons and it doesn't seem like it was as good as it used to be.

My hound does Electric(comes with the ability, even triggers archon stretch) Viral, Heat, Slash, Puncture, and whatever others happen to come from momentous bond. And since it counts as damage from abilities, it now strips armor in a 9m radius every time it attacks something.

Mesadoram posted:That is wild. Is momentous bond a new mod? Yeah, manifold bond causes companion abilities to apply status from its weapon and every time you or the companion kills an enemy with 3 or more status effects on it all its ability cooldowns gets lowered by 3 sec, while manifold bond gives it basically a random 120% elemental mod for 30 seconds every time you kill an eximus. It's such a pain cause I can't choose which I want to use as my main lmao. Dethcubes still great for energy Diriga's great for the above reasons Hounds the same with the added permanent 60% fire rate boost if you can deal with pet ai derpiness Wyrm gives you a permanent 60% fire rate boost and a +1.2 crit mult if you put the vulklok on it too while making you basically status immune. Nautilus just constantly pulls enemies towards you, grouping them for easy priming with the helstrum Nalesh fucked around with this message at 21:06 on Oct 26, 2023 |

I mean, I get why they did it. With the right stat-stick, you could use Gara's 1 to launch a corpse from one edge of the Plains to another. But that was some of the most fun I've ever had playing Waframe, so...

The highest level non-SP bounty gives like 100-150 mother tokens or something crazy. Not sure what the endless mission rewards are like. Would be interested in hearing if it's faster than just running the high level bounty.

I think if anything dropping the MR 24 hour lock out for failing would push things ahead for new players, at least up until MR 15 or 20, and maybe add like 5 extra Warframe slots and 10 extra weapon slots for new players. Like I'm not 100% against a story skip, but the problem is you're losing out on the most important bit of the story which is knowledge of the game, or at least hitting a wall and having to look up stuff to find out why slotting +reload speed and magazine capacity is loving your damage up.

I don't know what quests you did but I can't recall a single one of them ever telling me how to mod weapons. You've always had to pick that stuff up from other players or the wiki, and you'll hit the same wall regardless. The quests didn't do anything in that respect because most of them were tuned pretty far down in terms of build requirements.

It's still funny to me that a year or so ago they revamped the new player experience with a whole new starting map, no one had ever complained about the starting map, however many people had complained about new player having no mods to work with and no introduction to modding at all, and how maybe, perhaps, possibly, one could find a use for a tutorial modding button in the modding screen telling people the basics such as aiming for multiplicative effects and playing to strengths rather than shoring up defects. And also a mail with actual mods so that they would have to spend ten hours before they'd get their first +base damage mod. You know, making the game take the place of the player's first hour in a clan in which someone tries to compress five years of knowledge in a thousand characters and leaves a few critical pieces out because it's second nature to them now. But the new map is neat, although I wish I could play the old tutorial again, I'm a sucker for lush greenery. Also it is something that they are removing the old renderer on PC, the new one has horrible chugs in the grineer forest tileset, more than usual actually, while the previous one was smooth as butter.

It's ancient and long overdue to be dropped, even the switch uses the enhanced renderer these days. I have a 2015 vintage laptop that still runs the game fine (on lower settings and the dx11 render path, which isn't going away afaik) with what is essentially a 750ti for the video card, so I have to wonder what's going on for you.

They're not going to wonder why their MK-1 Bo isn't doing any damage because DE changed the MK-1 weapons to normal weapons and removed broken mods in order to streamline the new player experience. Just one of many small changes they've done in parallel with this much larger change of story skip, which is explicitly intended only for those players who really want to immediately catch up to where their friends are so they don't get told "ok well do 40 hours of quests and then let us know once you're done so we can actually party up." But it's funny you should mention that because Pressure Point isn't a component of a lot of modern melee configs. +Damage isn't the slam dunk pick it used to be!

what melee builds do you have with no base damage at all? if you arent using pressure point you are using condition overload which is just more base damage.

Most of the MR 1-5 guns aren't going to put out the damage you need for later missions, especially when your mods aren't up to snuff.

Anora posted:mate, you're taking things way to literally in my post. You're not wrong about that, mostly, but all that stuff is tradeable. We're talking about a method by which you can spend platinum to jump ahead significantly, so it stands to reason there would also be platinum available to buy prime weapons, frames and mods (many of which are extremely cheap these days). Also, the explicit use case for this method is for people to catch up with their friends, so presumably their friends have a few sets and mods to contribute. The goon clan hands out a "starter pack" of mods that are generally beyond the reach of most newbies so basically we already do what you're describing. If anything the thing they need to figure out is how to handle MR gating when someone's getting jumped ahead. I'd appreciate if they'd handle that by removing MR gating entirely because it's a silly outdated mechanic, but we'll see what they do.
