    How is Excalibur good solo at mid game?

    in Players helping Players

    Posted

    Excalibur - as well as every other frame in the game is 100% solo play viable.

    What  you are doing wrong is that you seem to have a fundamental lack of understanding of how builds work.  You should not be building specifically for survivability; every frame has strengths and weaknesses.  Your mods should reflect those strengths and the abilities that a frame comes with.  The mods you use should enhance and support the strengths that are already present, not be used as bandaids to slap onto weaknesses.

    For example, let's take a look at a few of Excalibur's stats:

    EXCALIBUR (UNMODDED, RANK 30)

    Armor: 225

    Health: 300

    Shield: 300

    Right now, we're looking at survivability stats alone; nothing else.  If what you wanted to do was improve his survivability (from a statistical view alone, not taking any consideration into playstyle and how various strategies may improve your game experience), what would you do?

    If you said, "Put on a Steel Fiber or Armored Agility", you are incorrect.

    It would be much more efficient to use, say, a Vitality, or Redirection.  In this case, I would prefer Redirection and enhance his shields, as those recharge over time.  Health does not (without the aid of outside supports or auras).

     

    But wait!

    There's a lot more to how a frame plays than just how many hits they can take.  Realistically, in Warframe no one really "tanks" in the sense that you would in any other game; nope! Not even Rhino.  The objective of Warframe is not to stand in place and soak up damage.  You are mobile.  You are a space ninja. Use your mobility.  Focus your builds on enhancing the skills of your frames more than focusing on how many bullets you can convince them to soak up.

     

    Excalibur has great survivability.  Have  you ever used blind?  If you're in a tight spot; use it.  You can also pretty easily with early game mods, mod him for Exalted Blade (his fourth ability).  With a little farming and a basic understanding of how the modding system works, you can more or less keep your exalted blade out more or less permanently, provided you are making kills and finding energy orbs now and then.  This helps your survivability, especially in early game, because everything dies.

     

    Warframe is not like other MMOS. It is fast paced, and no matter what your build is, if you stand around, you are going to die.  You can solo any mission with any frame once you understand how to play upon their strengths and maximize them efficiently.

    I'll be level with you the entire reason I put her in the sweater is to take advantage of the visibility leverage the sweater has to offer me. 

    Design my clan emblem?

    I need an emblem made for my clan (Church of Booty Worship). I honestly have no ideas and, as an artist myself, I know how crappy that is in a requester, but eh. If I knew what I wanted I'd do it myself. But I don't, so here I am.

     

    CONSTANT "Cannot Update Information" Message and Reward Revoke After ALL Missions --- My internet is fine.

    in General

    Posted

    I have been having issues with Warframe since this morning, but it's a really serious problem that prevents me from being able to play the game. I have submitted a ticket and am awaiting a response on that, but I'm curious as to if anyone else has encountered it and if anyone might know a fix.

     

    After every mission, I get the "Cannot Update Information" message. I leave it alone, I do not press abort, I let it sit. After a few seconds, it will go away, and send me back to my ship. I immediately experience a host migration and all my exp gained, affinity, focus, credits, resources, mission rewards, etc. are gone. This is happening consistently after every single mission I do -- it's not an occasional bug, and it really makes it impossible to play the game. Sure, I can play missions for the fun of it, but what's the point if I get nothing out of it?

    I want to clarify that my internet is not the issue. I have chatted with a few people in region chat already who instantly assumed my internet was the problem. It's not. My internet is working totally fine and normally with every other game and website I use. I have reset my internet, restarted my PC, all that jazz. I firmly believe this is (at least not entirely) a problem strictly on my end. What can I do about this, if anything?

    Elemental Modifier changes need some work.

    The new Radiation bubbles that were added have the potential to break a mission. The second sortie took three tries today for the sole reason that the target kept walking inside the radiation bubbles, then dying inside them, thus making him un-rez-able.

    That should NOT happen.

    Ember Prime's pricing in the trade chat is absolutely absurd!

    You, as a consumer, do not get to dictate the value of a product for the sole reason that you don't want to pay for it. If Ember is just any other prime to you, then you will be okay waiting until she comes back to get her naturally. The longer a frame has been vaulted, the less copies of the blueprints there are to go around. The supply goes down, the demand (and price!) go up. It's basic economics. You can't do anything about people overpricing aside from simply not feeding the inflation by not buying it. But you cannot tell people what they can and cannot list an item for.

    What Warframe Has Become

    You must be new to MMOs.

    MMOs DON'T end. They are continuous and ongoing and are never a complete game. There is a grind because content is continuously added. They are not drowned in story because MMOs are played for the gameplay themselves first, and story second. Warframe has excellent lore. I have spent many hours reading it and theorizing it. But it is also a business, and platinum exists to feed the bellies of the people who give this game to us, and work to keep it going. Earning platinum in a free to play manner is always going to be slower and more challenging.

    Warframe is, has been, and will always be heavily driven and impacted by change. DE has addressed this many times. Sometimes core mechanics will be completely turned upside down, and sometimes you're going to hate it. But you adapt, and the resentment for change goes away, and you move on. The game still exists, and we all still play; like you said -- as difficult as change may be, you're not going to stop playing.

    Looking to hire an artist

    This is an example of the size that clan emblems have to be. Bear in mind that while it looks big-ish here, it's not going to look this big in game. It's going to be small and squished down and isn't going to look nice if you have too much going on. You want something simple that looks nice up close AND far away. Too much detail from mid distance is going to look muddy. Another drawback is that files have to be uploaded in PNG format which is cancer for artists. It's a lossy format, and will lower the quality just by saving it in that format.
