Well, part of it is also that there are really only like 4 shotguns in the game in terms of playing differently, and there are few shotguns period, so you'd better really like a given shotgun because odds are you're never going to be getting an upgrade or even sidegrade to it. Gameplay-wise shotguns run into a problem similar to sniper rifles, in that they can overkill by a lot when the usually more important statistic is how many kills a magazine translates into, which is pretty much always higher for rifles, especially ones like the ignis which blatantly disregard game mechanics like walls, body blocking, and aiming.

But again, there's no good reason not to use shotguns if someone wants to use them. They're just not a particularly well developed or well supported weapon type right now.

I've been away for awhile; is the ignis actually good now?

I just discovered the best bug: my Dethcube just decided my friend was the devil during a recent tower run. It shot down his shields and vaporized him until he ran out of revives. Is this new in U11?

Finally had a Rhino Systems drop. Started building the three components and decided to free up some credits by selling off my excess helmets and chassis. So apparently you can sell blueprints while you're building them?

Just got the Cold/Status Shotgun mod from the Pluto spy mission. I wonder if it's an oversight or on purpose?

I thought they were named that way as a reference to materialism, as they seem to be a megacorporation. Not that there seems to be anyone to trade with other than the Grineer. Do we have any people in the game other than the East India Company, a hive of clones of clones of clones, and space ninja wizard robots?

There's a whole bunch of colonies of regular dweebs.

I guess what I'm saying is, it's a fine weapon for anyone who's willing to put up with bullshit for the sake of statistically higher damage on average, but I'm not that big of a optimal-sperg myself and I wouldn't really recommend it as a good-feeling weapon.

Normally I'd agree with you, but for all it's awkwardness this thing is theorycrafting as better than a brakk, without the range limitations.

Cathair posted:

Here's the issue: as a bow, it's a weapon that relies on accurate, relatively slow single shots.

How does it stand as a slower, much stronger Latron that requires you lead your shots?

I suppose you're right though; it's not really competing with the Dread.

Zephyr's Dive Bomb gets better at later ranks right? Was such a let down to finally get the plat to buy a slot to get a frame I'd been looking forward to, have tons of fun flying around, rank up and unlock Literally !Jump (From Final Fantasy, the reason I wanted Zephyr), only to slam down on a Venus enemy's head for maybe half it's health bar.

Most people, myself included, mainly use Zephyr for her 1 and 3.

If you really want to use Dive Bomb though, stick a Heavy Impact on her; Dive Bomb activates it from any height, giving you some nice AOE CC on demand.

Somme how the incarnon form does significantly LESS damage on similar color crits, like the regular hits on a level 50 enemy are in the 161k range, the incarnon hits are 64K. What am I missing, I tried it on both a Grineer and Corpus enemy and got similar numbers, so it's not like I'm hitting heat resistant enemies. Why is there such a drop in numbers?

Can the incarnon aoe wave headshot?


I'm coming back to the game from a long hiatus, and I've hit the riven cap pretty quick. Breaking them down for endo seems like a suckers game, and in-game selling still sucks as hard as I remember.

Should I be trying to sell them on warframe.market then? Googling pointed me at riven.market instead. Is that better? Worse? Should I be posting them on both?

Yeah I think that was the only place that really got me stuck. Just couldn't figure out what they wanted me to do there because I remember it being not obvious that it was a thing you actually could do (though I forget now what it was), and I think I ended up having to find a video.

Needing to use google to learn that explosive moas can hack terminals was pretty frustrating, as was being one and two-shot by bombards hiding in distant crowds, but the first two deacon stealth sections were absolute cancer.

The only thing worse than instant death effects is ones with animations that take ages to play out.

Speaking of complaining about TNW, is there any explanation as to what Ballas and Erra's deal is? Erra pretends to capture Ballas, *actually* mutilates him, and then reveals that Ballas was actually his boss the whole time?

Why the amalgam surgery? Why bother with the leash bit at all if they were just going to toss Natah the second she asked literally any questions?

Playing though TNW also reminded me of Stalker and Hunhow's partnership, which I still find really funny.

"This seems like an excellent idea!"

Not a plot hole, mind, as Stalker is clearly established as an edgy lunatic and not some 5D chess playing mastermind.
