Can you overwrite a mod and if so does that mean I should just fill my slots with whatever I've picked up so far? I see hints of the usual newbie misconceptions that happen because this game is so bad at explaining itself, so here's some bullet points:

a glorious hole posted:For anyone complaining about the whole moving forward / hard aiming of the melee weapons - in options there's a setting for something like melee in camera direction - disable this and it becomes a lot more bearable. Might be worth throwing in the OP. Do they seriously not have melee unlocked from camera by default on PS4? I play with a pad on PC and that setting is the only way melee is even usable. Also I don't know how they use the PS4 touchpad, but a good setup for pads on PC is:

Ciaphas posted:How the hell do I aim slash dash? I couldn't hit a loving thing yesterday no matter what I tried. It goes roughly where you're aiming. It hits in a radius around Excalibur that gets bigger as you power up Slash Dash, and is also effected by power range mods (Stretch and Overextended help, Narrow Minded hurts).

MisterOblivious posted:Oh, and Dual Zorens. Gotta have Dual Zorens if you wanna go fast. The reach is a bit low so Slash Dash isn't as "wide" but...you can jump around at super-speed. Slot them for Fury. Your choice of melee weapon has absolutely no effect on Slash Dash. The radius is determined entirely by the level of the Slash Dash mod itself and the power range mods you have slotted.

7c Nickel posted:Formas are amazing. They let you add extra polarities to your gear. Note that you have to have the gear at level 30 first, and adding the Forma will drop its level all the way back down. Do it if you really like a weapon/frame and don't mind releveling it. The other major use for Forma is as materials for building clan research weapons.

Turns out my character just has a Scindo and Furax and I'm not too hot on either, was thinking about getting a Mire or a dual heat sword set. Nope. There's nothing special about Mire anymore, despite what the description says. It's just another longsword now.

DeathSandwich posted:Actually probably going to do Amphis since I've already got the pattern and the Zorens don't look all that good. Either way I get to be a unique snowflake because I never see those weapons being used. If you're playing on PS4 Amphis might be kinda fun for now, but U11 currently has removed all the gimmicks of melee weapons like the Amphis. Until they get around to fixing it, Galatine and Zorens (and maybe Orthos Prime?) are basically the only things worth using for anything except mastery fodder.

Crowbear posted:2) Is there some trick to farming Survival missions? We got a group together to try and get some mods out of E Gate yesterday and we consistently ran out of life support at ~15 minutes, even though we were having no trouble with the enemies there. Is there something we're missing? You need enough enemies to spawn to keep the flow of dropped life support going, which means gaming the spawn system. It's complicated, but one seemingly effective tactic is to find a nice big room with a lot of doors and try to keep yourself positioned so that you're nearby, but not quite "camping" those doors.

Male Man posted:The Bolter was a recommended weapon back when its base damage ignored armor. I have first-hand knowledge of how it fares now, but I wouldn't be surprised if its damage didn't get tuned upward to compensate. In the new damage system, weapons that specialize in one type of damage may be good for high-level stuff, but for newbies mixed damage seems like a better bet. (The exception being Slash vs. Infested, which is a good idea at all levels.) The Boltor specializes in Puncture, and does less total damage than the Braton. Also, the old problems with it still apply (inaccurate, slow projectiles). I don't think it's a weapon for newbies anymore, if it ever was in the first place. TinfoilHate posted:What IS a good weapon progression for Primary (and Secondary, I guess)? I'm sitting at Rank 3 currently, and I'm wondering exactly what I should try and buy/build next. For primary, I'd say Strun, Latron, or maybe Burston. None of these fills the same role as the Braton, so be prepared to change the way you play. The more interesting low-mastery weapons are secondaries, Ballistica, Hikou (I'm iffy on recommending Kunai now), Vasto(s), Bronco(s), Viper(s), even Aklato can be a fun change. If you can get a group to help you through some Void missions, it might be worthwhile to try to get a Prime weapon, as they all seem to have the same mastery requirements as their normal versions.

Fire rate mods make the Ballistica's charge-up time a lot more reasonable, but if you don't have any of those yet I guess it may not be the best choice. I'm kinda biased towards gimmick guns, but maybe that's because I've already unlocked most of the map and have a lot of mods and don't really feel the need to be going for optimal DPS all the time. If you want pure effectiveness, Ballistica may not be the best choice, but I think it's fun. Also worth noting that the gimmick on the burst fire is that it recoils horizontally instead of vertically.

DeathSandwich posted:So what mods should I be using on my Paris aside from Thunderbolt? I've got it to level 8ish now and am getting to the point where I'm able to actually start doing mods on it. Yes, and reload speed decreases the time between shots, which can be useful if you want to rapid-fire uncharged arrows to cause more explosions.

Sundowner posted:A light soft-lock or better/quicker switching of the direction of the attacks would be really helpful for console players. I'm not a fan of autoaim on guns or any kind of projectile weapon but when it comes to melee it's actually probably more beneficial to the player, just because of how 3rd person cameras and games tend to work. This exists on PC now. If you play with a pad, turn off "Align Attacks to Camera" and turn on the other two melee options, which do melee auto-targeting and make the camera follow the direction you attack. Melee is finally fun, even if it's still poo poo for damage.

Neurolimal posted:Currently leveling an Obex, I'm having a shitload of fun with it, almost considering supercharging it because it's just so fun and if nothing else, it would probably be more unique than a Galatine or Zoren or etcetera. I'm currently considering Fury, Melee Prowess, Pressure Point, and Blast damage; are there any other mods I should consider to make them better/suck less? The Obex finisher attack is great, and with blast damage you might be seeing it more often, so consider Finishing Touch. Obex is kind of an oddity because a bunch of build types seem viable on it. You can go for extremely rapid normal attacks and boost your crit rate to make lots of yellow numbers, or do the same with elements to try to inflict statuses, or slot Reach and Finishing Touch and jump around knocking everyone down and pummeling them, or make a build to one-shot MOAs with the magnetic-type charge attack, or just crank the damage and try to showboat with the wall attack, etc.

At first I thought they were trying to nerf Ignis against Infested, but then I saw the 75% bonus for radiation damage. Slap a Stormbringer on and continue to burn down mutants at your leisure.

triplexpac posted:So I'm playing this game super casually, just going through a match or two every few days. Keep digging your way through the map, mostly. You might replace the starting pistol with Aklato, which is almost a straight upgrade, or a Viper. A lot of the others require Neurodes and/or Orokin Cells to build, which you probably don't have yet. You have more options for melee weapons; Kogake has the fun kick-and-punch moveset, Dual Heat Swords have high charge attack damage, and Kestrel is pretty wacky. There's others, but those are the most fun ones you can build early on. You can start picking up the parts for Rhino, the tank frame, from the Venus boss, but it may be a while before you can get the resources to build it, unless you can get someone to bring you to the levels where they're available.

I really want to play this on PS4 since my friends that never tried it on PC are playing it there now, you would think the character copy thing would be a bit of a priority for them to get up and running. U11 for PS4 was stuck in Sony's certification process for much longer than expected. Hopefully Sony will get better about this. Also, we're on 11.3 now.

Male Man posted:It has a worse resistance/weakness spread because the status effect is so good. Radiation's the same way. Radiation's status effect really isn't that good. Confused enemies still generally target you if you hurt them, and coincidentally you're hurting them when you're putting the effect on them. For them to even start attacking other enemies, you have to run away as soon as the effect starts so that they lose interest in you, and usually by the time they're effected they've already taken enough damage to not last very long against other enemies. The best it can do for you in most cases is divert a little bit of the other enemies' attention for a few seconds until the effected enemy dies.

Djinn's weapon (Stinger) is probably second best of the Sentinel weapons, good for when you're running a shotgun and don't want to compromise mods with Sweeper. I haven't really tried Djinn itself, too busy leveling up all the other Sentinels who have secondary precepts that are useful or at least don't get you killed.

The weird thing about the Penta is it seems to do equal damage to everything in its blast radius. Ogris and Thunderbolt explosions both have falloff, but something right at the edge of a Penta blast takes as much damage as something in the center. This and the weird bouncing (and the lag problems mentioned) make it pretty dangerous to use, but it's still the best weapon.

They're working their way through the placeholder bosses (new Ruk, Golem's gone, new Vay Hek coming), it's not too hard to avoid getting hit by the Stalker's attacks if you stay mobile, and pre-U11 the only weapon without an armor ignoring damage type that was really viable against high level enemies was the Soma. Meanwhile the weakness/resistance table has changed 4 times recently, there's a bunch of new level tiles appearing in the invasion missions (and sometimes normal levels), they're releasing at least one new weapon a week, and for the first time (as far as I know) a new frame is being released in a non-major update. Warframe has problems, but a slow development pace is not one of them.

It seems like the original idea of the Cicero Crisis event was probably for players to first get a basic antitoxin in one or two runs, and then keep getting enough on each run to keep building those as well as enough rare plants to occasionally build the other antitoxins. This would've worked out fine if players accrued points from each antitoxin defense run. Instead, since only your best run counts, there's literally no reward in building anything but the better antitoxins. The result is players just grinding the level for the rare plants, doing a single defense run, and calling it quits. Somehow, DE managed to take what would be a semi-tedious grind event and make it even more tedious and grindy.
