As always, I'll post an infodump about the livestream once it's over. Also you should probably add a recommended "first new weapons to buy" for new players since that gets asked a lot.

MotU posted:Is there a dash button in this game? I didn't see anything in the tutorial but I was not sure There's a sprint button. If you're on PC, you'll want to rebind either crouch or sprint somewhere else - there are reasons you'll want to be crouching and sprinting at the same time and it's pretty awkward to do with the default controls.

Feenix posted:Is there a way to tell stat comparisons or whatever? Like there's this Cronus Blade I can build now, but I have NO idea if its worth 12 hours and 15,000 credits plus valuable parts. Quick Primer for melee weapons: is it a single longsword or dagger? It's poo poo and you should never build it. Best melee by far right now is the Galatine, but a heavy weapon (Gram/Scindo/Fragor/Orthos) or Dual Heat Swords/Dual Ether Swords are also good.

Crowbear posted:Thanks for the pistol tips guys. Turns out I had a bunch of Neurodes lying around so I've got a Vasto building right now. Shotguns are alright, but not really top tier weapons at the moment. Pull is getting a nerf at some point soon, but right now Mag is always awesome. Even with that said, Pull does fall off a bit once you get near endgame since it won't kill things as fast. Stalker is basically just a gear check. Once you get good enough mods/weapons you can burn him down in like a second, but until then there's not really a lot you can do.

Berserkers revealed powers: 1)Grappling hook - launch yourself wherever or pull one enemy 2 or 3, unknown which) +melee speed/+armor for allies, -movespeed for enemies 4)Energy claws There is still one unrevealed power. a foolish pianist posted:I played a bit today, and I discovered that I can build the Cronus sword with crap I've collected. So far, melee has been terrible - the forward motion involved means missing most of the time, flailing about like an idiot, but that's just been with the starting weapon. Would making the Cronus improve that? Also, should I join the goon clan? I don't know what it would do. My PSN is phentyn, though. All single daggers/longswords suck. If you want the best melee weapon in the game, make the Galatines. If you want to launch yourself all over the map by spin-attacking, build zorens.

Yaos posted:After playing some more I found some things I don't like. Sometimes the levels require running across walls, but nobody knows how to do it (and neither do I), so we spend a few minutes jumping at a wall until the wall run decides to kick in. The green lasers that bounce you back are annoying as hell and only serve to make the mission take longer; I thought the cameras brought them up but I've gotten stuck behind lasers with no camera in sight. Vertical wall run: hold sprint and jump into a wall straight on Horizontal wall run: hold sprint and jump into the wall at an angle. All the wallrun spots have white scrapes along them from months of Tenno infiltrations. The cameras don't have to spot you to bring up the lasers, they can spot your buddies as well. You can slide-melee through them (hold sprint and crouch and melee) without taking any damage. Veteran players will do this basically 100% of the time and not even both with cameras.

You'd think that information (and what elements combine into what) would be part of the Codex, but it doesn't seem to be. This is the Damage 2.0 work in progress chart they posted a few weeks back  Those almost certainly aren't the final numbers, but the categories of what stuff is weak vs strong against is probably still correct for the most part.

Amazon has a sale for platinum (+some mods and boosts) at 50% off until December 2. You'll get 1500 platinum for the $50 dollar package compared to 1050 platinum for the Prime Access $50 package. It's not as good a deal as getting a 50% off coupon in the daily login rewards, but it's still pretty good.

Yaos posted:I think I've stopped being a newbie, I think I understand the game now. A great way to rank up and also get mod cards is doing defense missions. The Braton is a beast; I'm killing things left and right and in my first mobile defense mission, an infestation mission, I got 187 kills and the next closest had 126 kills. When you fuse cards they double the stats on the card, and the mod space or whatever it's called goes up by one, you can also use fusion cores to fuse when you don't have matching cards. This means you should not max out your cards since they take up valuable space, and new gear won't be able to take high stat cards. Unfortunately you have learned the wrong lesson. You want to max out your cards, because it's more efficient. For example, Hellfire and Stormbringer each cost 6 points to equip (so 12 points total), and add +15% fire and +15% electricity. If you maxed out, Hellfire, it costs 11 points to equip and adds +90% fire damage, for a lot more damage overall. And you'll end up with plenty of low level mods to equip as you play more, while you use your high level mods as you potato/forma your poo poo.

+Shield is good, but +health isn't as useful. Getting it up a few levels might be handy for when you're levelling a frame from the lower bits, but I wouldn't pour a bunch of mods into +health after that. Generally, you'll want most of your frame slots to go to powers and mods that boost powers (+Rush if you're one of the slower frames).

Wales Grey posted:No. All damage types have a status effect, and it seems to pick which effect to apply somewhat randomly. Why have armor boosting mods that add an absurdly tiny amount of armor for like half the frames in the game? The proc chance percentage increase mod is working as intended, it's supposed to be a percentage of the base proc rate. Edit: And crit chance mods work the exact same way.

barren_sky posted:Thanks for the help, guys. And just so I'm clear on this, the best way to farm is to go solo? I know some items are split between the team, but random drops like that are first-come-first-serve, right? Best way to farm is to hook up with goons who are also farming and do a survival/mobile defense mission, since they have the most enemies and thus get the most drops. QuantaStarFire posted:He's also buggy as gently caress. Be prepared to abort a lot when he becomes unkillable (outside of the bubble phases). IIRC from the last Steam Sale they did go to 75% off at one point, so for those who want cheap plat might be better to wait until the sale is almost over and see if they go down to that again.

Ignis is the best gun IMO because you can hit a ton of enemies at once (including through walls without having to include a penetrating mod) as well as doing lots of damage.

Helter Skelter posted:Eh? The Ignis doesn't go through walls that I've ever seen. Around, sure, but not through. I've specifically tested it by attempting to shoot through doors where I know an enemy is on the other side, even. A Shred mod is part of my standard loadout on it for that very reason. Ignis ignores walls entirely as far as I can tell, you can totally shoot through doors easy. ThePhenomenalBaby posted:Is there any melee weapon that is as cool as Galatine? I see why a lot of people run it now. I understand that melee is rear end in this game but at the very least this weapon is satisfying. The Dread does slashing damage which is good against Infested.

Lemon Curdistan posted:I've been putting pretty much just whatever on my Rhino, but can anyone recommend a better mod loadout? Get rid of Vitality, you should always have Iron Skin up and if that goes down you should still have plenty of shields to soak damage before you put Iron Skin back up. I'd probably ditch Continuity as well, it really only makes a difference on Roar. Then put on Focus and max out Streamline. Dezztroy posted:Are you sure about this part? When I ran it, I never saw the Stalker. Of course, he might have just instantly killed one of the pubbies and then run off. The stalker seems incredibly weak on that alert, he didn't even get an attack off when I was running it.

Feindfeuer posted:I say vitality has recieved a buff in Dmg 2.0. Shield is not the end-all damage soaker it used to be and if you get proced by slashing damage you will get a health DoT, the heavier/higher the damage/enemy, the more brutal the DoT. This will hit right through your shields. I don't know if it also procs through Iron Skin though, as I am the only Rhino who has it not equipped at all. It doesn't go through Iron Skin as far as I've noticed, Iron Skin stops everything (except Stalkers).

Lemon Curdistan posted:Right now, Vitality, Continuity and Marathon are in there pretty much just because I've got nothing else to spend my mod points on that would even make a difference. Sadly, I don't have Focus. Good idea. In my opinion you should always use polarize a power slot first (well, that or the aura slot), because all frames have at least one lovely power that isn't worth slotting.

My idea for weapons: Remove +damage and +multishot, since they don't actually do anything interesting. Increase base damage by level to compensate. Change +elemental damage mods to change a percentage of the base damage to that type. Add a bunch more mods with upside/downsides, so that you can turn a Soma into a high ammo bullet hose or a slow firing death cannon or a crit-based corrosive bullet shooter. For frames: Powers shouldn't take up mod card slots. Split the mod slots up between Power slots (which increase/modify powers) and Warframe slots (which increase health/shields/stamina/speed etc.)

Clocks posted:Actually, now's probably a good time to question Damage 2.0. Back when I played people liked to stack +damage and something else I think, but what are the best mods to typically stack on weapons now? Still +damage and something else? Literally nothing has changed, +damage, +multishot and elemental mods are still the top priority (plus crit mods on the few weapons with high base crit). The only difference is that now it makes a difference what order you have elemental mods in, and they added a toxin elemental type. Oh, and +armor piercing is bad now - you only use a mod that adds a damage type bonus (slashing/piercing/crushing) if the weapon is almost entirely that type. For all their talk of "getting rid of rainbow builds", the rainbow build is alive and well.

Livestream summary
want to simplify early/midgame in terms of damage type combinations required going to keep looking at reactions to infested invasion working to buff Saryn and Ember (and hopefully Valkyr) for 1.5 (not necessarily final changes) New "Paladin" warframe coming in 11.5 -  - Balance of support and damage output - help increase team survivability will see Darvo-style events again, Darvo will be in-game eventually  Lotus model  New melee system - can equip melee weapon and run around with it - making blocking more useful - new combo system and more depth - levelling up melee unlock stages of moves (applied retroactively) - weapon posture/grip system - every weapon grip can be used in one of two stances   XP Bar in HUD for sentinel/melee coming New UI preview (lvl 44 Braton not a real thing)  New Grineer jungle tileset (what became of Earth after Orokin left) - initial introduction through event next week - scanning as part of gameplay - adding a day/night cycle (not real time, based on when you login), with different gameplay    Brand new grineer cover/movement set coming soon with new AI (hoping for update 12) Void will be added to the codex later (training coming first) Codex will have more lore info More weapon-specific mods (Sticky mod for the Penta) Question about void loot tables and dilution of the pool, they're going to look at how they treat end-mission rewards and void missions Will someday be new factions Weapon balancing: - Brakk was intended to be a pocket shotgun, not a sniper rifle - part of melee 2.0 is to rebalance melee DPS across the board - going to fix single longswords to be actually useful XP Change - initial idea was weapons get XP in proportion to the amount they are used in that match - backed off of this for the moment, unsure if/what will change Vay Hek with WW2-esque propoganda machine - propoganda machine will effect the Tenno - multipart enemy - will fight through entire mission    Status chance mods/proc chances were intentionally started low, expect changes in the future 24 hour Orokin Reactor alert after stream

One of the biggest thing they could do to both improve the new player experience and make picking weapon mods more interesting than just "all the damage mods" is to fold the straight +damage (Serration etc) and multishot mods into the weapon as it levels. As it is now, literally every player who has those mods has them leveled as much as possible and equipped on every weapon, because they are by far the best weapons mods. Meanwhile new players struggle for quite a while until they can get them, because their damage is so much lower than vets who have those high level mods. If you just fold those into weapon leveling, now everyone is on a more even slope. And because you freed up two mod slots and points, you have space for a greater variety of weapon loadouts.

New Valkyr changes comingDE_Megan posted:Paralysis (Third Power) - Now only takes 1/3rd of shields but still calculates damage based on 1/2 shield use. Life regen at least gives Valkyr a purpose to having such high HP (though I suppose it depends on how much HP it gives back). Paralysis is a bit less self-murdering, so that's better.
