    I dont think starter gear should have a potato. Instead setup a questline and introduction into the use of Orokin Catalysts and Reactors. (have it as a research questline to steal/research orokin data from data terminals in the void.

    The reason for this is because friends i recently introduced to the game were forma'ing thier guns and warframes before they even knew what Orokin reactors and catalysts done.

    Quest line would be more then fine with me as long as they have to install them as part of the quest.  That is actually a better idea as it explains what they are as well as help them out with modding.  Same effect as what I wanted but with a explaination, great idea

    No actually, they should not.

    We already get plenty of things from weekend events, logins and random Alerts. The difference between "this game is hard" to "this game is easy", is asking questions, and being able to Google.

    Friend of mine that started recently and only plays on my LAN is only on randomly, and in under 10 hours of mission time he already has a Pet, multiple Reactors and Catalysts, and ranked enough stuff to get him to MR5 to continue the main quest line.

    All games are "hard" if you decide to Solo everything, and if you always take that path, then you need to also do your own legwork.

     

    Causally signing on and doing Reactor/Catalysts is a good way to stockpile yes, but there are people who pick up the game, don't have a clue what's going on, put it down and never look at it again.  Google is easy enough when its only a Alt-tab away but that doesn't really work on console.  I'm sure there are a lot of people who doesn't feel like they should need to go do research on a game just to start playing it.  What I'm suggest doesn't hurt anyone in the long run and I'm not suggest giving them potatoes to put into their weapons.  I'm talking about them coming with them already installed.  At worse they get a free potato for Excal and Skana, Skana which they will eventually replace with Prisma Skana.  Volt and Mag they will eventually replace with the primes and the rest of the weapons are MK1 versions.  Everything will be replaced expect Excal.  Is 1 reactor really that bad of a idea if it helps new players get into the game.  People do like playing solo, and they shouldn't be punished by that, nor should they have to instantly head to the wiki to have a clue what's going on.  I don't seem the harm in giving new players a little advantage.

    Honestly I was thinking about a lot more then that, but was in mission when I was typing.  haha.

    Honestly what I think should happen is:

    1.  As said earlier, which you pick during the first mission should have potatoes

    2. After completing the first quest, you receive in your inbox a set of broken mods(serration, hornet strike, pressure point, stretch, intensify, continuity and streamline)

    3. Have a video guide in the codex and lotus comments about it being there during the first quest.  What these videos would cover, would be 1. Basic modding 2. MR and leveling gear.  3.  A guide on slots, platinum, trading, and moving in the star chart.  The reason I say a video in the codex is, as we all know Warframe changes fairly often.  If its a video of Lotus(DE Rebecca) talking while she do stuff on her account, anytime anything is changed, its only change the video file which could be done rather easily.

    I think that would make it a lot easier on new players, and the way I always looked at Warframe, its a game that grows on you, the more you play, the more you get hooked.  So keeping new players around a little longer, helps them get hooked

    changed suggested based on comments

    So after reading some comments, some constructive, some not so much, I decided to reconstruct my idea as some of the points were really good.  I left my original post below.  My reason behind this is to help with player retention.  I have a lot of online friends who I know would love Warframe, if they got into it.  They tried it, did the first quest, game didn't explain nothing after that so they gave up.  Honestly I would probably be in the same boat if people didn't help and explain stuff when I first started, now I have 5000 hours in the game.  I know people are going to say there is the wiki, there is the forums, reddit.  Yes, I know of all of those, but a lot of players are not going to go to those when they first start a free to play game.  They are not going to spend hours reading up on Warframe to understand what's going on to see IF they might like it.  So my original post was just something very minor I thought could help keep people around.  My changes however are not going to be so minor.

    Change 1 - would be change how MK1 weapons work.  I think these should have much less xp requires and level up very quickly.  There isn't many MK1 weapons in the game so there isn't a huge downside to this other then a few thousand easy mastery points.  My reason for this will be a later change

    Change 2 - should be the Skana that's in the quest as a possible first melee weapon should be replaced with a MK1 Skana.  Only real downside is people complaining about a useless weapon in the game.

    Change 3 - is that the Bo, Kunai, Furis and Skana in the market should be changed to credits instead of being built.

    Change 4 - The part after picking your weapons, when you go to get a segment for your ship, you also recover 3 fully built catalyst, that the game requires you to put in your starter weapons as part of the quest.  The Lotus can give a very brief explanation of what they are and that there is 1 called a reactor as well that does the same for your Warframe.

    Change 5 - and this is where they all come together, so during the quest, you get a enough xp to max out your starting weapons.  The quest itself requires you to change out your weapons, so if you pick MK1 Paris, Mk1 Kunia, MR1 Skana as your starting weapons, towards the end the intro quest, it requires you to sell those weapons and buy the Paris, Kunia, Skana in the market.  Lotus can also comment on how maxing those weapons to 30 for the first times counts towards your mastery.  I suggest this because someone made a comment about extra mod points would make it less likely for someone starting out to try other weapons, really good point.

     

    I think these changes will at least give new players a idea of what is going on.  A good bit more then what they have right now.  They will know leveling up a weapon for the first time gives more mastery.  They will know about reactors and catalysts doubling mod points.  Does it fix everything?  No.  Does it help?  I think so.  A lot of people try this game and quick very early on, DE knows this, they have admitted it before.  If I remember correctly its one of the reasons they changes the star chart, to help new players with a direction to go.  It's just a idea I think might help.

     

    Edit:  I also believe at the very end or either the intro quest, or the second required quest and package of broken mods should be given out, serration, continuity, streamline, hornet strike, pressure point, stretch, intensify.  A email with some kind of statement about helping you on your journey, help protect the solar system or help you deal out carnage and destruction as you cut your way pass enemy forces with all those mods.  In their broken forms of course.  Just a little starter pack.

     

     

     

     

    Original Title: Starter gear should have potatoes

    Original Post:

    So I have been thinking lately(mainly because I ended up with new brand new players in my clan) about when you start this game and how its not new player friendly.  There is a lot thrown at you, and not a lot explained.  Just a random idea to help out new players is that their start frame, and starter weapons would have potatoes already installed.  I think however minor the help would be, it would help as we all know its the mods that make sure good.  Might even keep some players from quiting
