Got back into this to see what's new (dropped out a bit after Deimos), and been doing some revamped Railjack. Did I miss something like an alarm reset button or do corpus ships have an extremly tedious mechanic with constant electric AoE landing on you? There's a delay so you can easily outrun them, but it makes the Ivara stealth approach very very tedious.

Is it corpus tiles in general or void storm tiles? But yes, mega annoying.

Not sure, haven't done enough of it yet, but it's just a big pet peeve. Obviously, I can still ninja my way, nuke everything or Titania-zip around, but I also like the slow and quiet Ivara infiltration, and in some of those Railjack missions, that was close to a non-starter. I loved the old Railjack feel of detonating Grineer ships from within without being spotted.

NPC crew are cool btw. I love how you can customise their look and give them any OP gun from your armoury. I'm glad I had all those intrinsics to not restart from scratch.

I won't lie: I have no idea what Sisters are going to be like in terms of buggy tedious grind, but I'm so going to endure it all for that Tenet Arca Plasmor.

Cool, guess it's fairly reasonable then, which is a good thing considering the number of weapons and RNG involved in which one shows up.

From a silly point-of-view, could you stuff 3 copies of Oull in the parazon to one-shot the next 3 Sisters? Or is it only one copy per parason/requiem?

RoadCrewWorker posted:

The "convert" ingame mail is a pretty nice touch :allears:


Haha. Pity it doesn't come with 12 pages of small print T&C and requires you to click "I agree". That could have paved the way for a hilarious patch some time in the future involving one of the clauses.

After 6 finished sisters I've had a few really lousy hosts on PC pubbing with hard desyncs

That reminds me, since I've been away for a while: I presume there still isn't a "DON'T MAKE ME HOST! EVER!" setting? I use the "Laptop" setting which deprioritises me, but I still end up host every now and then and it ruins everyone's day, including mine.

Thanks, guys.

This is way more complicated than it probably has to be, but I guess That's Warframe! (tm)

Is there any trick to the thralls/lich themselves or is just "mildly tougher, just hold down fire longer on the ignis wraith"?

They just kneel down instead of dying, you need to finish them with the Parazon by getting in melee range and pressing X.

The lich will have powers dependent on the frame you used to make it appear, and it can be tedious depending on what it was. Some damage resistance is also tedious if your lich reaches level 5, but nothing you shouldn't be able to handle at the end of the day.

One of the pubbies in my last group was in a mech and constantly holding down Arquebex M1 for most of the fights too so the entire screen was constantly covered in explosions and it was really hard to actually see + aim at the lich.
It didn't seem to kill the lich any faster though, and when I briefly tried out my own mech my Arquebex did 0 damage to the enemy.

So I'm guessing liches have some kinda special necramech resistance. (Though that might have been one of the fight mechanics making them invincible until you kill all the spectres or something, idk.)

Indeed. The patch notes explicitly mention Necramech and Arquebex as a major reason for special damage resistances for Lich enemies.

Went ahead to grab a first sister, and it's a 37% toxic Tenet Envoy.

I'm floored by how fast it went for the murmurs/requiem. It takes more time to get her to spawn now than it took to get the song...

That Tenet Envoy is an absolute riot. Think I'll push this baby to the whole 5 forma goodness, to enjoy it before it gets nerfed.

No idea what it's like in Steel Path, as I only very very occasionally dip my toes into that, but in anything else, what a ride!

That's going to make some brilliant reading on their forums, hoarders are going to be mad.

Already having Loki Prime here, I take it that's basically completely useless? I already helminted the free Loki they gave out before, I don't think there's anything to do with a double of the prime?

Did some Steel Path last night to mop up the nightwave stuff, and that dropped me enough of the weapon arcanes to start playing with them, so I fitted the one that gives damage multipliers for 24s after a headshot, up to 3 stacks. Only rank 1, so it's 40% per stack. Holy macaroni, this feels insane. My beloved Kuva Quartakk already felt like a monster, but now it's just ridiculous. The stacks last so long that it's dead easy to maintain, and being an arcane, it's completely free and in addition to everything else. Argon Scope was already pushing my quad-aimed-shots into hilarious territory with the increased crit chance, but now I'm also sporting an extra multiplier...

Guess now I have to run some arbitrations to grab the galvanised mods. I have to see how deep the rabbit hole goes.

I'm running one with galvanized chamber and a rank-1 Merciless in Steel Path, and it feels really good. It one-hits trash mobs, will take like, 30-40% off even high-level Grineer mobs, and semi-reliably puts procs on enemies to boot. Incredible weapon, 10/10.

Yeah, I'm on the 4th forma right now and took it out on SP a few times while leveling it and it's working just fine with galvanised multishot and arcane. This is 100% going to get nerfed, lol.

Got sort of blessed by RNGesus tonight. Decided to go magnetic for the Tenet Arca Plasmor, as high shields are annoying and it's my goto gun in Index where shield numbers are downright obnoxious. Did one granum void with Mesa and hey, Tenet Arca Plasmor first try. Only 25% and no ephemera, but still... There's always valence fusion to pump up that score if need be later.

Sister fights are jank as hell as usual I guess. Whole lotta "and suddenly, youre dead from full health" with no warning or animation or anything. What the hell happened to shield gating here?

I found a new type of jank last night. I knew the first word, and had a random second one.

Sister goes down -> stab. My first two words appear for some reason, with the second one incorrect. "Sister, you have been promoted" in the background, but she's still there of course. She's taken down for the second time, I stab again, and same thing: two words, second one incorrect, promotion. She disappears as she should though, this time.

Net result? She went from rank 2 to rank 4 in a single mission.

Slow weapons don't feel great in general to me. Once I made the Kronen Prime I basically never use any other melee weapons. Unless I want to just gently caress around, then I just dust off the shelved ones and try to make a fun build.

Not sure that's still working, but for slow melee, bunny-hopping with heavy hammer slam attacks used to be funny, particularly on a dainty frame like Titania. Hammer Fairy best Fairy.

Whats the element bonuses bonus?

I played around with it a bit and nothing about the double elements being on the right side works any differently than other innate weapons. (the only wierdness is is it has two elements off to the ride side of the mod screen, which combine if you don't mod for it)

Mine is Toxic. If If throw mods in toxic/cold -> cold/toxic -> heat order, then I get Viral + Heat and the innate toxic is added to the Viral.
