I just installed this past weekend and been having a good time so far unlocking the star chart.

Lots of poo poo to do so a lot it's pretty overwhelming to start.

Do I have to worry about missing out on anything? My FOMO is at full bore. From what I can tell anything I might miss out on is probably going to be back at some point so I shouldn't worry about it.

Honestly doubt I can make any progress even if there was since I'm just making it past Mars now.

Newbie question:

I just hit mr5 and am starting to push through Uranus (lol). Things are starting to get harder to kill (probably) because I'm trying to level things simultaneously.

What mr should I be aiming for? It's getting a lot slower now so at some point it's probably a good idea to just equip my best stuff and grind the star chart.

I'm running Excalibur right now and if his exalted blade isn't running I am pretty bad at killing groups. I haven't had non flawed versions of the energy stuff drop yet (continuity, flow) so once that happens I feel like it'll be easier to plow through the missions. My Rhino is done in a day or two so I'll probably go back and grind that frame up to mess around with.

Tldr: star chart or level stuff to get mr? Where's far enough in the chart to take a pause and work on some leveling? Probs right about now that it's slowing down I'd guess.

What benefits does spoiler mode give you for hacking? I haven't done much with it yet and I haven't done many spy missions so I might just be missing something obvious.

Okay so I'm hooked, this game is rad. Is Wukong prime any good? I bought the starter pack and discord Nitro for Saryn now I'm eyeballing the primes that are currently available since the packs come with a ton of platinum.

I bought the middle wukong pack shortly after starting and it really (I think) enhanced my enjoyment of the game. Depends on where you are financially and how much time you have to grind.

No need to whale, because you can grind him fairly easy, but it's nice to have access to him and his weapons at low MRs in addition to the plat.

Edit: wukong normal is available in the dojo so you can give him a test drive first and decide if you wanna just wait for a coupon and buy plat outright.

Rhino is also fine for solo runs.

Explain to a scrub what I need to do to get these. My mods are lacking and sucking

They let you stack more ability strength/range/duration/efficiency at the cost of some other stat that you don't need a lot of.

If you were going to build a wukong clone build (or something), you don't need efficiency or range so you can dump those stats with the appropriate mods to stack strength.

He'll use the opposite of melee or primary/secondary to what you're currently using.

Clone melee sort of sucks so just don't equip a melee weapon and the clone is gonna go ham with you.

Have you built a Hek yet? What about Rhino? Can't tell what your mastery rank is but it's probably worth ranking that up as well.

Are you on PC and in the clan?

Lot of good info here but I'd stress decoupling the goal of clearing the star chart from leveling items at this point. They're two separate things towards the end and underleveled weapons and items makes harder missions even more difficult.

Cracking void relics by running the fissures will let you get items for more weapons and warframes. These are good missions to run new gear with and test things out on.

You can also sell those items to other players for platinum. Plat will be important for getting more weapon and Warframe slots.

If you like the looter shooter, leveling, and movement aspect of the game it's worth sticking with imo! One of the best F2P games I've played.

My problem with the Orphix stuff is really that if my mech dies I'm screwed. Really hard to recover from it if you're solo or carrying the team.

I'd love to see some arcanes in the earlier rotations. 9 Orphix to get a small chance at a decent arcane makes me pretty meh about running them.

After like 400 hours in the game I finally rebound crouch and jump to both be on my mouse.

Bullet jumping through derelict vaults for the nightwave really wore out my hand (ctrl + space).

It's so much better holy crap. It's hard to change the muscle memory, but hitting ctrl with the pinky was just too much contortion for my hand.

Shift would have been much better but then I'd need to rebind sprint and roll and that might be too much for my smooth brain.

What's your set up for Protea?


Also, do frames need to be max rank to feed them to helminth? I want to spread Protea's dispensary around.


Probably know this if you're feeding protea but make sure you've mastered it before you feed it otherwise you'll have to make it again.

If you've already mastered the frame, can feed whatever rank you want.

Only reason I brought it up was because I went to subsume Wukong and forgot I never mastered the non prime version. Had to make him again for the MR.

I just tried to do the sortie interception with ex stronghold with Baruuk.

I couldn't drop restraint at all with his 2 or 3. Does his 1 (I helminthed it off) work for this?

Gonkish posted:

Yeah, this.


It can be slow to burn restraint if enemy density is low, and the 1 wouldn't really help you with that problem because it scales so weirdly and requires a lot of nerds shooting at you to really have a noticeable effect on restraint.

Yeah, good to know. As Nalesh mentioned the eximus stronghold really made it hard. Was surrounded by them but couldn't burn restraint and was just picking them off. Ended up losing the point a few times cause I couldn't get the 4 up, plus I didn't have a weapon worth a drat for clearing that run.

I just wasn't prepped for how badly it seems like eximus stronghold messed everything up and wasn't sure if his 1 would have been more beneficial than the empower I wasn't using.

Build is all based on the mods from the big Baruuk post a while back (str dump duration). Dude slaps and is a lot of fun but when you can't burn restraint it is really hindering.

I forget, is it just when the host has loaded and cancelled the cutscene before everyone else loads, that it forces them to watch the ENTIRE intro cutscene?

I know sometimes I will load into a mission and see the cutscene, be unable to skip it, while I can see the other frames doing combat animations and hear sounds, and then the cutscene ends and all the other people teleport away. I know it can't be a loading speed thing, because I just switched to an SSD and it still happens.

Oh I wanna know the answer to this too. It feels like it's been happening a lot lately.

Got a quick question. I've been hoarding Aya for a few particular frames, but they ain't showing up. Is Mesa prime worth farming for?

I treat Warframes like pokemon - I gotta have em all. One of each! Primes are for using and non primes are for the meat grinder.

Mesa Prime, as another user mentioned, is probably dirt cheap plat wise. So you, if you're so inclined, could farm a few mods and sell them to buy instead of using the Aya on relics.

I do like that I can see if I've mastered the weapon that a grip goes to or if I need one or two of a particular item. Wild that this isn't built in when you have like 5 seconds to make a choice.
