So is it just me, or is it kind of hosed up that the game throws the archwing quest at you like 4 or 5 planets before you get one with plastids?

Or did I gently caress up and skip the right boss for a while?

Either way, I was more pumped about Jupiter than any blueprint or weapon I've gotten so far.

This is me right now with Control Modules and every frame I've got blueprints for.

Also: Should I believe the person that said Volt Prime is coming out in the next few weeks, or should I golden potato my little shock jock now?

Volt Prime's been datamined but I don't think anybody actually knows when it's coming out, you could probably get another potato by then.

Ahhh, got it. Follow-up: If I have just the one potato, and just the one frame, but I'm a Control Module away from completing one of 3 different frames(Nyx, Rhino, Valkyr) would I be best served holding onto it for one of them?

On melee weapon chat:

If you're a newer player, Atterax (market?), Daul Ichors (clan tech), Jat Kittag (clan tech), and Galatine (market) are all pro melee weapons, not that difficult to build, and very powerful.

On this note, what should I be building towards for relatively accessible newish-person (Mastery 4, with enough levels to go on some frames that I'll probably hit 5/6 relatively quickly here) primary/secondary weapons? I've got a Hind, Paris, and Strun for primaries and a Gammacor, Kunai, and Sicarus for secondaries so far.

The weakness of my Kohm is that sometimes I get too giddy and forget to press any other buttons for awhile. It's a very real concern.

My gripe with the maneuverability is that I keep accidentally doing the air melee + ground slam instead of 'coptering, and I have no idea why. Also, when I was leveling up my Redeemer, my character would seemingly randomly stop sprinting. Really annoying.

Point your camera up. Like, >45 degrees up. From practicing Tipedoing the last few days, it seems like if you're either already in the descent of your jump, or pointing at the ground At All, even ground nowhere near you, it thinks "come on and slam" instead of welcoming you to the jam like you want. Now take flight.

One thing I appreciate about the stance-thing alert is that I built a Galatine for it and got it to level 26 by the end of the mission. That's about it.

So yeah it's pretty pesky: https://twitter.com/search?q=%40WFAlertsMods%20Vauban%20Helmet%20-Esprit%20-Gambit&src=typd

That's for the Gambit sub-type helmet, for the component helmet blueprint itself the last was:

Amalthea (Jupiter): Enemy Task Force Located - 119m - 5900cr - Vauban Helmet (Blueprint) 9:52 PM - 24 Feb 2015

Which is downright almost reasonable!

It's still a huge pain in the rear end, because they just did all the pieces in the last week, so it'll probably be awhile before any of them go up again.

Any of the frames worth buying outright / have extra-egregious grinds? I saw Harrow in the OP and looked at all its part drop rates on the wiki, but anyone else y'all can think of that is worth biting the bullet on if one has for instance not played this game since vauban was released and still has a plat balance for some reason in the mid hundreds?

I just realized/remembered that I can slot mods into slots without any polarity, not just matching polarity, and suddenly the game got a thousand times easier. Man it's been awhile.

Also it looks like upgrading mods just costs like, mod-essence currency and credits, instead of combining lower-level mods? That's nice of them because I have 11000 of that currency and 2m credits. Thanks game.

thats a tutorial quest to show you the magic of excals (or others) exalted weapons (or other killframe abilities) btw. By the point i had just the most basic sustainability mods and the 5 melee missions were way easier than the ones i was using guns for.

Yeah don't get me wrong, I'm pairing it with leveling up my Trinity Prime by riding along on pub Tyl Regor kills, and could switch it up with going back to King Nidus if I wanted to solo defense missions with just 1 and 2. But I like complaining about Uranus, as

Oh thank god. I'd googled around but it was just people asking if you'd continue to accrue Mastery when capped. Guess I'll use the time between tests to practice bullet time jumping, and level up crap to turn into other weapons.

You can also practice the test itself directly if you go to a relay. then esc, fast travel, pick cephalon simaris. When you get there turn a 180 and go up the curving staircase on your left. each little alcove is a specific MR test.

you can take them here for real if you want but the real value is letting you practice them as many times as you want

Oh hell yeah. Soon Rank 8 will be mine.

I never see people play him. It's weird because he's definitely fun and can handle higher level enemies quite easily with his sucker punch.

So far I'm enjoying that the third strike of his 1 combo just hits like...everywhere. I feel like I need to get better at managing rubble and petrifying enemies though.

I should have asked this sooner, but is there a reason to keep the Kuva staff from the Grineer queens? I never use it and unlike other plot stuff it doesn't seem like you can craft it into anything.

The reason to keep it is it comes pre-potato'd and comes with the best attack speed and status chance (and almost the best damage) of all staves, and you can use it to pop health orbs out of dead enemies. It's sick as hell.

What am I doing wrong with my Soma Prime? I've got the usual multishot, serration, crit Chance and damage, 2 eles build going along with two vigilante mods for the crit upgrade proc (arm and fervor) and it just doesn't feel anywhere near as good as a Dread or Vectis Prime, but I want something I can peel a few rounds off at people from. Should I just follow the current page and drop it for an Amprex?

For anyone reading this but unable to see the stream, Wisp also floats like her materials and body are in zero-G so in practice she looks even weirder than those screenshots. Looks cool as hell.
