Archon continuity will make her 3 add corrosive as well, plus they're just generally good for gun reasons as you mentioned, though you don't necessarily need to run corrosive on them as well. I genuinely like that you can run basically anything you want on citrine because she can synergize with any type of weapon builds or elements, and it's cool that if you wanted to you could run almost all of the archon mods on her. chumbler fucked around with this message at 03:03 on Feb 7, 2024 |

free hubcaps posted:Looks like theres gonna be some upcoming alerts that give out Fortuna bonds as an interim fix before DE actually fixes solaris' economy; also maybe gravimag components? They've been giving out all sorts of good stuff lately They buffed hunting. You can cap rep in 5-8 minutes in plains or solaris doing it. Then for bonds you check ticker once or twice per day. For the final level's bond that never shows up in ticker (and maybe the one before) you can wait until it's a reward on a good bounty and clear out the rest in 20 minutes tops. If I was going to complain about something in the game it'd 100% be archon shards and the means of getting them. Unlike everything else in the game, there's no alternate means of getting them. It's a transparent compelled gameplay system that trickles something you want a ton of and very much goes against the spirit of the game. Netracells are awfully boring and you're compelled to do it 5x. It's not fun to stand in a red circle waiting for enemies to walk into it for 5+ minutes per run (sometimes 8-10 if it's a bad tile connection.) The rewards most of the time are stuff you can get with rep trivially or your 20th melee adapter. Kahl missions are really boring on the nth playthrough, and my n isn't even high. There's no skill ceiling/optimization to them, and while they have great personality the first time or two they're not content I'd interact with outside of the other one-time rewards. Archon hunts are decent, although I'm not sure if they always drop archon shards and I'm too lazy to look it up. If they don't always drop one then they should.

I did it this month and it's easier/quicker than abandoned spaceship incarnon guys (lanthorns lanthorns lanthorns -- even getting a bunch from extractors & netracell I'm still gated by them) & definitely easier than either of the amp reps. Getting rep is super easy yes, but the bonds are the issue. And tickers stock is constantly filled up with shelter and training bonds, they'll often have 0 medical bonds in stock for example.

It's not the end of the world or anything but it is widely considered the worst rep grind for the open world. And that's not even getting into toroids. Also I think people are a but more accepting of the lanthorn grind since it's late game, and you can also earn lanthorns passively with extractors. E2: I suspect that the Fortuna rework is partly based on player feedback/opinion, but I also suspect DE looked at the backend data and realized Fortuna is a place where lots of newer players stop playing the game. free hubcaps fucked around with this message at 03:29 on Feb 7, 2024 |

Brute forcing lanthorns means giving your Laetum (or whatever your current pocket warcrime is) to Nekros, it's not nearly on the same level as Fortuna's current nonsense. If you've just been relying on box breaking and mission rewards for lanthorns, I'm so sorry. Helter Skelter fucked around with this message at 05:10 on Feb 7, 2024 |

Yeah that's my main one, though it's pink for the metallic and gold for the geode part (random, as it often does, got it in just a couple clicks). I'm trying to come up with a second one and nothing really looks great. I don't want to be the uncreative white/black/gold color schemes guy all the time.

I went with all black for the matte and outer parts, gold for the trim, and different shades of emerald for the inner gems. There's only one gem color but one emissive coloring shows up in dark light. Going for a Phosphophyllite look from Land of the Lustrous/Houseki no Kuni. But, like, the gold trim looked better than white imo.

I’ve done a fair bit of hunting to try and get rep fast. And in my experience is faster than the other methods, but getting 28k rep is more like 15-20 mins for me, and that’s if I get a couple Kubrodons to spawn. Right now I just fly around with the rifle out, and wait for the animal sound then spin around to figure out what spawned and try and tag it. Any better system? Also I hate the little roll-up guys they are always a waste of time.

Volt for speed boost is also good but that's kinda annoying for hunting because you're mostly staying in archwing mode. Khorne fucked around with this message at 17:18 on Feb 7, 2024 |

So I did the weird defense variant with the Murmur, and Oberon - especially with Smitr - still deletes Murmur, so I did a little digging I to why. The Murmur have a new health type that's weak to piercing and radiation. The have no armor or shields to strip, they're just big bags of HP. Smite does radiation damage to the initial target, and then spawns orbs that seek out nearby targets and do radiation/piercing damage that's a significant percentage of the original targets HP - like 35%. These orbs will absolutely circle around and hit the original target, too. This annihilates Hollow Veins and Anatomizers, and is no slouch against the other Murmur either. So, If you have Oberon, or smite subsumed, use it.

Ok, so I'm coming back to this after having last played before New War came out. I think the last frame I got was Xaku? I also have functionally infinite plat (for anything that isn't like, rivens or arcanes I guess) thanks to some tradebaroning back when I did play. So my question is: Are there any frames or weapons I definitely should or should not throw plat at for quick unlocking if they look interesting? Kullervo looks nifty but I don't know if I'd be able to get him relatively quickly through just a little bit of play, for example.

kullervo is pretty easy to get but can potentially be annoying if you have limited play time and are missing the right moods when you are on. styanax is kind of poo poo because you either need to sacrifice some shards or save up for awhile.

I would spend your plat on Prime frames you don't have rather than unlocking the non-primes. The only non-prime grind that I wish I bought was Caliban, only because I'm pretty sure I could have made twice the plat doing anything else versus waiting for for his bounty-specific materials to drop. You can get most of the older non-prime from circuit.

I'd recommend just buying Styanax, the grind to get him is fiercely timegated and pushes the clock even further back on other valuable stuff from the same source. Plus he's offered at a plat discount. Sevagoth can be a pretty irritating grind from what I've heard, and you just missed the give away they did for him. A lot of the newer stuff has some degree of bad luck protection via resources you'll gain along with your chances at blueprints dropping, so unless you really cannot stand a particular frame's associated missions just save your plat for cosmetics and potatoes.

I mean necramechs were in the game for a good while before new war (and with a worse grind than now), so it feels a bit disingenuous to call it scummy well after the fact. That being said, cornbots being entirely useless outside of one mode and two boss fights (or worse than the average warframe in bonewidow's case) is dumb, but that's warframe.

It's just hard not to feel like it's a poor return to the game to have a big "DO THIS NEXT!" prompt, click on it, watch some cutscenes, then get told "ok now you need this thing," google what it'll take to build the thing that's in my inventory (since I had the Voidrig bp already from the last time I played), and see it's either 'you can't actually do this next, really' or 'let's see that wallet buddy.' Especially for it being something I've heard so much about as being the big-actual-thing in the game, or the gateway to it. Just give me a necramech, even a crappy loaner, so I can do it. Worked for amps.

Finally cleared a lich that's been hanging around for a while and received my prize: The Kuva Kraken. This might be the worst pistol I've used in this game in a very long time. Is it even salvageable besides the usual "play very low level content"? I got an okay roll on the stat (39% Toxin), but I didn't expect it to feel this bad. In my defense the last time I used the Kraken was years ago so I didn't remember what I was getting into.

I stuck a potato on it anyway since I had spares and I'm not gonna get another one. It looks like the secret sauce is Steady Hands, which makes the alt fire actually kind of tenable. Not great still, but serviceable. We'll see by the time I get my MR from this how much I can fit in it. I'm sure my kitguns will continue to be my best options for high level play for... a while yet.

Ok, I did the New War today. My review no one asked for: 600 hours of playtime before I came back and this is not a part of the Returning Player Experience I can say I was particularly taken by. I don't mean to harp on it, but the Necramech thing went from feeling predatory/cheap to downright insulting. Yeah let me bother with this thing for literally a sub-5-minutes run-and-gun sequence at the end of like 3+ full hours of stuff where they just, give you the tools to use. No good reason for it at all except if one person on the dev team really wanted people to get a showcase they absolutely did not need and will miss if they blink, considering my rank 0 mech with a rank 0 default weapon shredded the whole sequence. Pros overall: The starting segments are all cool, it was neat getting to play all the universe's also-rans for a little bit. The hunts were a cool idea even if the boss fights all felt one health-segment too long. The ending was a cool payoff even if it, in the tradition of Warframe Lore, still had incomprehensible weirdness peppered throughout. Cons: gently caress you pay me. Also, for all that, that's it? A bow and a mediocre amp? Oh and more quests, maybe they have actual rewards. Neither pro nor con: It's a wild swing to jam a AA indie cover-and-stealth shooter in the middle of your live service loot game. I respect the attempt at least, but there's a reason we use the word "respect" when we don't necessarily mean "like." In conclusion: "Nothing I could give could repay what you have done for me" ok then let's start with the cost of this useless robot and go from there.

Necramechs are actually *super* useful once you have them leveled - the voidrigs 4 annihilates... *everything*. It's like a Supercharged Peacemaker. I actually basically got my Necramech for free, though. I had tried starting new accounts but couldn't deal with not having everything my switch account had, and they combined it all with cross save, so I got like 200p in starter platinum I couldn't use for trading, and then I got a 50% off coupon, so I figured what the hell. You will want to trade or grind for mods to get it and the Mausolon powered up.
