I suspect that they weighted the drop % to make it rarer then just a straight percentage of the reward table at rot C.
No, they haven't.

You're kidding right? Why do you think they nerfed the rare resource buff - because it was giving far more than was intended.
It's not just a UI oversight - if the buff icon on the HUD is overriding the previous buff, then what do you as the player expect to happen?
It's a design mechanic flaw that I am certain they will correct in time. Just like with the rare resource buff; people will whine and complain and not understand that getting the amount that was being buffed in that manner was completely ridiculous and made no sense at all in comparison to how you would normally obtain it.If the buff icon on the UI overriding the previous one was meant to have the same impact on the buffs themselves, why give the resource doubling buff a 120 second duration in the first place, as it will never run its full duration?

Yeah I can understand that - even though they don't specify this (and they should tbh). But that doesn't change the fact that having something stack on top of the other when it isn't even displayed in the HUD is an unintended mechanic. Something that hasn't been properly addressed and fixed. I mean I was expecting it to be fixed when I saw that in the hotfix notes.
Well the fact that you can't tell which variety of the buff you have at all from the icon is poor UI design, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the double resource buff stacking was unintended.

If you're referring to me - I was talking about this thread:
"Fixed Smeeta's Charm ‘Doubled Pickups and Affinity’ buff not working as intended and doubling a number of things that were unintended. It now properly doubles pickups: Resource, Health, Energy, Affinity, Credit and Ammo (previously it would)."
They clearly have not properly fixed the unintended buffs.
That fix was to stop it doubling the number of syndicate medallions and the like, not to fix multiple copies of the buff stacking.

There would be details to work through, of course, but I think it's a good idea.
Someone queued specifically for one mission should always get a place before a player that is queued for more than one.
In other games incentives are often used to get players to queue for 'random' missions, particularly for in demand roles, although Warframe doesn't really follow the tank / healer / dps model.

Resource booster and stacked smeeta boosts.

I think almost all pay-to-win mmos have some items (bought with real money mostly) that boost drop chances for gear and rare items. Why we have only resource drop boosters?
FTFY, and in the process may have answered your question.

Hey, you're self-aware enough to realize that most of that was your own fault.
That's a huge plus and puts you streets ahead of many others who come on here to vent.

I'd add the option to quick-select one of your loadouts once you see what mission type you've been given, without having to go into the full arsenal.

And no, the setting disable-scope doesn't do that, it keeps the awful zoom/FOV. We should be able to remove the entire scope on the gun and turn it into a Rifle.
That makes no sense, if you want a semi-auto rifle, use a rifle not a sniper.
It's like asking to hold a rifle by the barrel, club mobs over the head with it and call it a hammer.

So dont watch that part of the video but when recieving something like this aka being sponsored to create and promote content regarding a product(whether that product costs money or is free) it is a requirement that it be included in the video by the FTC which while an American entity(USA American) the laws and guidelines set by them is what youtube/google require all content creators no matter where they are to abide by. Its part of the whole transparent disclosure thing.
I doubt that's the reason. Most game ToRs specifically state that no in-game assets have any real world value, so giving those out wouldn't count as sponsorship.
I also don't recall many review videos specifically stating that they have received the review copy of the game for free, despite that being the case for most well known game reviewers.

If Prime Access continues to be a three month promotion and DE sticks roughly to the release sequence of the base warframes, they will have almost four more years to come up with a lore justification for Nidus Prime.
-
DE are making more of the quests replayable, so there's always that.

I'm not really a lore-junkie, so I can't help out much with that, but I do have a question.
Is the spoiler tag pre-emptive? Because I don't see any spoilers here.

I'm sorry you've had such bad experiences, sounds more like the sort of behaviour I'd expect from some MOBA players, not so much in MMOs.
11 hours ago, (PS4)Silverback73 said:I think the Clan experience is undersold and VERY underrated in WF.
Instant access to 30% more content and a higher grade of co-player is invaluable.
DE Steve even mentions a recommitment to Clans in 2017 in the Devstream.
If the focus is to be clan content, rather than alliance, then I hope DE introduce some way to merge clans that allows you to recover some of the resources you've invested in building them.
I have a solo clan that I've researched virtually all the projects in just because I'm something of a completionist, and it's a personal challenge to carry that on and finish everything by myself, so I'd prefer new group content was at the alliance level.
It also reduces the risk that you'll have to walk away and leave all your work behind if things don't work out within the group.

@LordClaros My normal practice in MMOs is to get into a good guild/clan/whatever as soon as possible and then turn off public chats and never look at them again.
I haven't felt the need to do that in Warframe, but if you're having a bad experience then getting into a good clan, or getting your clan into a good alliance may help you find people that you enjoy playing with.

Account migration has happened before, but possibly only from PC to consoles and not the other way.
I've only ever played on PC so it's not something I've ever looked into.

Simulor should really require a charge-up time for the vortex effect, or suffer from a low rate of fire, or have very limited ammo, or something.
Just a suggestion, I'm no expert. But why don't they make the magazine the amount of orbs it takes to create a vortex?
The vortex/singularity is not a big deal when looking at the Simulor's damage, the real damage comes from the blast when orbs merge.
My Synoid Simulor with the standard Vile Acceleration fitted fires just over 5 shots per second for a total merging base damage of 875 (5 x 175) per second, in comparison a vortex will deal 50 base damage per second.

All and every other mission I've done in the past year has been done with my Quanta Vandal.

Well, they used to be good for stealth affinity/focus farming, but with the changes to mob awareness it's now easier to do that with a Covert Lethality dagger.

you know you can one shot jugg at any level with ash, ivara, or equinox and a dagger with CL. You don't need to, but if its become an issue that is something you can do.
Covert Lethality works with any frame that can open a mob up to finishers, so Inaros would work too, probably several other frames as well.

in theory best chances are those that reward axi in rot B-C like "some" nodes, but no one does that mission.
The 'hard' defense missions (best option right now, imo) are easy to solo, you only need to survive to wave 20 then rinse and repeat.

- If a spore is popped on molt, regardless of the weapon used or the elemental damage on it, all enemies in spreading range will take viral damage and have a viral status effect applied.
- If you attack a spore infected molt with your melee weapon when toxic lash is active, you are guaranteed to pop a spore, but you won't spread a toxin proc.
- No, it spreads viral status (see 1).
- No, popping spores by whatever method will spread viral status.
- Basically, yes. More pedantically, a proc is the act of afflicting the target with a status effect.
- Check the details for the individual weapon on the Wiki, some weapons apply special status effects on slam.
- Toxin status is only spread by popping spores if the target already had a toxin effect when the spore was popped, in addition to the viral status that popping the spore would normally spread. The Wiki has the damage calculation.
- The easiest way is to hit an enemy (not molt) afflicted by spores with your melee weapon when toxic lash is active. As status effects are applied before damage is dealt, toxic lash will apply a toxin status which popping the spore will then spread to all surrounding enemies. A good way to do this at range is to use a thrown melee weapon like the Glaive or a gunblade like the Redeemer.

Nope, you're proposing a complete rework of an ability just because of its interaction with one weapon. There are much better fixes.
Such as... ?
and apologies if you already made some suggestions, the thread's too long and honestly I care too little to go back and re-read everything.
Well there have been several suggestions made, but the one I favour is...
8 hours ago, ChuckMaverick said:I think the best 'solution' would be to treat the orbs from Mirage's clones like multishot, so that they are already considered merged with Mirage's shot and don't get the blast damage, but they do contribute to forming a singularity.

Yep, three (at least) very different threads, all merged into one mush.
I'm normally keen to see redundant threads merged, but this decision has even me shaking my head.
