Please no. Don't hide lenses.
There are three reasons to pick an equipment for your mission: You need it for the job, you want it cause it's cool, or you need the focus from it's lens. The lens symbol is important in this.-

If it's possible to adjust them per frame, then maybe it's alright to resize them for some smaller frames, but... They look super good as they are, at least for Loki. Planning on buying them.

I'd wager on october. However, whatever the date is, it's so far off that you're probably better off not "actively waiting for it" and just continue like nothing is happening.

I agree. 2k can be easily burned through without much thought.
how much plat you need for slots depends a lot on the type of gamer you are. If you want to keep one of every weapon and frame, you'll obviously need a lot more than if you're fine with just a couple of frames and a selection of weapons.Numbers are close enough, but not necessarily 100% accurate. Not taking into account free slots you get because there will be more weapons and frames before you get all of the current ones, so the amount needed is a questimate anyway.
35 frame slots: 700 platinum (assuming you only keep one version and not both regular and prime)
70 primary weapons: 420pl (not counting variants)
64 secondaries I think, again, not counting variants: 384pl
over 100 melee weapons: 600pl
... So, if you want to keep one of everything, 2000pl isn't enough. And we haven't gotten to archwings and archwing weapons, pet slots and sentinel slots, the upcoming modular moa thingie, zaw's, and so on. And none of those numbers included variants.
But, I recommend buying a color palette you like, maybe a nice looking syandana, an armor set that you think will fit with 1. your favorite frame 2. a great variety of other frames.
Even if you don't want one of everything, I'd still set up at least 1k aside for slots only. You'll probably end up buying a couple of catalysts or reactors for frames/weapons, but after playing a while, you'll have surplus of those. I think that, at some points, affinity boosters or resource boosters may be good buys, but those are in situations where you know you'll be spending the next 3/7 days playing a lot and playing for a specific purpose - like grinding focus and leveling frames. Or farming kuva to reroll that riven for your favorite weapon until you get exactly what you want. It may be tempting to buy a booster when you're at the beginning of your career, but you'll be lacking the tools/knowledge to make the most out of those boosters. -
Wiki doesn't recognize "shotgun only" or "no abilities" as modifiers for the Dargyn pilot challenge. I've completed a riven with the same challenge (kill pilots before they hit ground) using a different weapon, and I know I killed pilots that had spawned on the ground. People are reporting really inconsistent results for this particular challenge though, so there may be some sort of bug with the pilots that spawn on ground vs once that spawn in the air - even if there is, I highly doubt the riven actually Says that they need to spawn on the air.
Yeah, it's annoying when people doubt you, but it'll make things easier for everyone if you just post a picture of the riven so that people actually know which it is. -
At MR 5, you could complete the cinematic quests and get into sorties. Your equipments and mods aren't probably good enough to solo or contribute significantly in them, but most people don't mind a newbie hanging around as long as you aren't detrimental (trying to do spy vaults and failing or dying constantly - so make sure your frame can survive some punishment (invisibility works well)). Sorties reward rivens, which are kinda easy to sell (I'd recommend selling them veiled instead of playing the lottery and opening them first, but that's my personal opinion). in addition, sorties can reward you with an ayatan Anasa sculpture, and I know that a friend of mine can sell them regularly for 20p a piece.
IF you feel like you have lots of relics, then selling prime junk could be easy way to get plat (but make sure you don't accidentally sell any actually valuable parts).
Syndicates are somewhat easy: it takes some time to grind yourself to the highest rank, but once you're there, you'll get syndicate standing without putting in any extra effort. Syndicate Mods and weapons can be sold for some plat, and since you get the standing when ever you get affinity, it's sort of "free" plat, not really requiring much effort (apart from the selling part).Vault runs reward corrupted mods. I've been told that's pretty easy plat, but don't have personal experience on selling them.

Nyx is very easy to farm (phorid assassination) and works very well.
What frames you do have? -
The thing is that your success in missions depend on:
1. Your skills
2. Your frame
3. Your weapons
(4. Your mods)
If your skills are lacking, you can compensate with bringing a frame that is perfect for the job.
If your frame is lacking, you can compensate with your own skills.
If your frame or skills can't solve a certain problem you're facing, the right weapons may help you.
Trying to pick just 1 frame to solo everything with isn't impossible, but it's... just not efficient. Sure, you can do spy missions with an ember, but you're handicapping yourself. Or, you can go to a defense with a Loki but your irradiating disarm will slow the mission down and isn't exactly an optimal choice. That doesn't mean it can't be done, though. -
I kinda agree about the previous posters dread-ignis-grakata-tipedo keep part, but don't sell all the rest!
- Bolto - is a requisite for Akbolto (need 2) and Hystrix (need one AND a Viper!). DON'T SELL - use it to craft another weapon!
- Dread
- Ignis
- Tonkor
- Gorgon
- Grakata
- Despair
- Viper - used to craft twin vipers (need 2) and Hystrix (need one AND a bolto) DON'T SELL - use it to craft another weapon!
- Kraken - used to build Kulstar!
- Cestra - used to craft Dual Cestra (need 2)
- Furis - used to craft Afuris (need 2). I personally like Furis because of the augment it has, but it isn't very competitive gun
- Seer
- Anku
- Dark Dagger - Keep 1 dagger because of the mod Covert Lethality
- Heat Sword
- Nikana - used to craft Dragon Nikana
- Volnus
- Magistar - used to build Sibear. You may consider selling this and building a new one when you have enough cryotic for Sibear (30k)
- Tipedo - used to build Lesion
- Amphis - used to build Sydon
- Dark split-sword
- silva & aegis

I think that the prime weapon from the prime pack comes with a catalyst already installed, doubling the maximum mod capacity for it. If you haven't installed an orokin catalyst on the older duplicate, consider selling the old one instead and using the new one. Orokin Catalysts are somewhat rare when you're new, and buying one costs... 20 plat I think.

The wiki is your friend, use it a lot, but try to avoid spoilers regarding quests - there are some couple juicy things in quests and you'll enjoy them a lot more if you don't spoil yourself.
Your "power" in the game is limited by various factors: First is the rank of your weapon and frame: Each rank they have gives you one more point of capacity for mods. Rank 30=30 capacity. The second limiting factor is what mods you have: The most "basic" mods you should work towards are: Basic damage mods for all weapons, basic multishot mods, and basic elemental mods (or the so called 60/60 elemental mods that give you status chance as well). If you don't have the necessary mods, you'll hit a wall at some point when you can no longer kill stuff.
The next limiting factor is your capacity: You can't fit all the mods you want with just 30 capacity. That's when you install a potato (orokin catalyst/reactor on your weapon/warframe) to double the capacity to 60.
The next limiting factor is your mods' rank. You need to invest endo and credits to rank your mods. installing 2 unranked elemental mods takes more capacity than 1 ranked elemental mod, but only give 2x+15% damage bonus, when a maxed elemental mod gives 90%. At some point, you'll run out of credits and endo (or rather, you'll constantly run out of endo). At some point in the game, you may hit a wall where you can no longer kill stuff because your mods aren't good enough, and you need to rank them more.
At late game though, all your mods are max rank and you can't fill all of the slots in your frame/weapon because you run out of capacity, and you still have empty slots in your frame/weapon: That's when the forma comes into play. Installing a forma resets your weapon to rank 0, but adds a polarity. Putting a mod into a matching polarity slot causes it to eat up only half the normal capacity. This lets you basically instal mods for half the normal capacity cost. Formaing a weapon is kinda costly and takes some time - installing a reactor is like snapping your fingers and then your weapon is good - putting in forma usually means you'll level the same weapon 3-6 times and each forma costs the same as reactor, and the end result is, at best, as much extra capacity as you got from the reactor.
Damage types: You can't go wrong with corrosive and slash. Slash is the best damage type because it ignores armour, and armour is the real trouble at later levels. Corrosive is the second best because it strips armor. Viral is the third most important because it cuts enemy HP in half. Toxin/Gas gets important at some times because it ignores corpus shields. These are all generalizations, though, and there are exceptions are opinions, but mostly: Instal corrosive. You can always kill corpus/infested because they aren't all that sturdy, but you may hit a wall where you can no longer kill high level, though grineers, because they got such huge amounts of armour. That's not going to happen very soon though.Progeression: You should aim to progress in the game by (in no particular order): Completing quests. Ranking up your mastery rank by leveling new stuff. Opening up and completing the star chart (maybe the most important thing). Ranking up your mods. (and also, farming building materials/components) These are all important things you should aim to do, but the most important thing is, that you do what you like to do, and don't feel pressured into any particular objective: There is so much you can do, that you should pick what you like, and do that, and then maybe switch when you want to try something else. Enjoy the game, and don't let it become a chore. Don't be afraid of asking help.
Join a clan, any clan with all the research. It's just... a loose collection of people, usually - it doesn't obligate you into anything, and it doesn't really cost anything, and clans that have done their researches can provide you with a huge number of weapons and a couple of warframes that you can acquire the blueprint for and build.
Nikana Prime is cool. You can get it, but you'll need to: Find relics (mission rewards) and open them (doing fissures) to get prime parts, which you'll need to sell to other players to get platinum, to buy the nikana prime parts from another player. That may take some time, but if you put your mind into it, you can actually achieve that pretty quickly. However, I'd probably recommend that you check out the (regular) Nikana first - you can buy it from your clan's Tenno lab (another good reason to join a clan). It requires mastery rank 4- something you should be able to achieve in maybe a week or two, depending on how much you play. Once you have that, you can use it to build Dragon Nikana, at mastery rank 8.

Magus Vigor, an arcane that you can buy from Onko in Cetus, gives you +200 health (at max rank). It's added before the Vazarin bonus, granting you 1250 health. You can combine two of those to get even more, or one of those and one of the armor ones (Magus Husk) if you have the armor passive from unairu and health passive from vazarin for maximum effect.
Personally, I run one Magus Vigor with the health and armor passives (and health regen) (if you grind out your daily focus every day, it takes maybe a week to max out and unlock a focus passive - depends on the passive since they cost different amounts to unlock) and it makes my operator pretty sturdy. I also like run a Magus Elevate to heal my warframe when I transfer in and out.
You can enter void mode to stay pretty much invincible, though, so instead of trying to max your health, you could (and should) aim to max your energy pool (from zenurik), and get a good amp - that will get you quite far. Some extra health is nice though so that you don't insta-die to a single stray bullet. -
You won't get banned. If you do get banned, contact support, not the forums. Leeching means that you are letting the rest of the team do the work while you are just afk or fooling around. Don't worry about leeching - if you aren't strong enough to pull your weight but you are still trying, it's enough - we've all been new players at some point.
What you told doesn't make much sense. Sounds like there was a bug (data mass teleporting to spawn?) and another glitch (falling through the map?). I'm assuming that if you fell through the map, then your frame looked like it was far away from the console, and the other player thought you were afk in the starting zone or something.
In any case, don't worry about it.

The app is useful if you don't play all your free time - it let's you know when to log in (when you aren't already playing, and happen to be doing something else - say, watching TV or playing something else).

The PRIME in prime access are... Expensive. It's more of a question: Do you want to support DE? For PC players, buying the frame(+weapons) isn't "worth it", since with a plat discount, you could just buy plat for... 50 bucks I think, and use that plat to buy the frame and the weapons, leaving you with more excess plat than the prime access, while costing a lot less.
For consoles, I'm not quite sure - I don't know how plat is priced for consoles and how much new frames cost when you buy them from a new player.Personally, I'm going to buy the accessories pack because I think the rift walker sigil is cool, and I like the syandana, and 90 day credit and affinity boosters aren't bad either. But the actual prime access? Only worth it if you have extra money to burn and you want to support DE. It's probably cheaper to buy the items ingame.

That specific challenge I do solo just so others won't mess up and cause detection by the enemies.
Unless it has something like "without alarms" modifiers, others being detected doesn't trigger your fail - only if you are detected. Ivara -> stay in stealth for the whole mission -> complete.

When he starts to whisper, find a good place to fight him - preferrably something a bit more open. Then just wait. After the... Uh... Maybe third whispering and stronger screen flicker, he'll appear kneeling on the floor near you - as he's rising up from the floor, mark him with G (default - I recommend swapping USE to G and Mark to X instead). With him marked, you'll have easier time keeping track of him.
As for killing him: Stay on the move to make yourself a difficult target. If he gets a shot at you, you're probably dead soon after. He's immune or nearly immune to warframe abilities, so your best bet is your weapons.
... Before you've completed war within, that's really mos of it. Avoid getting shot, shoot until dead. Read up on him in the wiki but try to avoid spoilers about other stuff: http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/StalkerApparently, he can cast absorb when in low health. Don't remember ever seeing him do that, but I presume he'll float up a bit and form a bubble around himself. Stop shooting, or you'll die to the resulting explosion.

Currently? Put your best lense (greater, or eidolon - whatever variety of focus you want) on your best weapon (probably melee). Put another good lense on your warframe. Bring only your frame and that one weapon into Elite Sanctuary Onslaught. With all probability, you'll get a saryn, equinox, or volt, or some other AoE thing in your squad. Stay close to them. Everything they kill, gives you affinity: 75% goes to your weapon, 25% goes to your warframe. If you can build a good AoE frame, put the best lense into the frame - everything you kill with warframe abilities, goes 100% into your frame.
As a sidenote, everything you kill with a weapon, goes 50/50 into warframe's lense and weapon's lense.
Don't bring un-lensed weapons - they'll eat a portion of the focus you'd otherwise get. Likewise, it's more efficient to bring 1 weapon with eidolon lense and No Other Weapons, than to bring 1 weapon with eidolon lense and 2 weapons with weaker lenses (or no lenses at all).
Bring a smeeta kavat with Charm mod. It's not guaranteed, but with luck, it can proc that buff that doubles your resource and affinity gains for the next 120 seconds. When you get the buff, your next focus orb will give you lots of focus. Always farm focus when you get the affinity booster from daily login, rare container, or sortie reward. Always run as long in the ESO as you can: You don't lose any of your focus rewards even if you fail a wave, so it's usually worth it to go into the next wave and get the focus from the boost, even if you'll fail soon after. Results depend on the factions and tilesets that are currently on, but the few times I've ran 10-11 waves, I've gotten almost 370k focus in one run. Results may vary, and depend on the squad - the quicker your squad kills stuff, the more focus you get. -
Bring something that can contribute. A good weapon if you are leveling a frame and 2 other weapons, or a frame if you are leveling 3 weapons. Or don't bring anything useful, just do your best to stay alive, and pretend you try to be useful. As long as you aren't afk and at least try to help, you're good to go.

Strength and joy for everyone - please celebrate responsibly!
And if you are one of those people who don't want this kind of celebration "pushed onto you", stop reading, stop posting, and move on. Nobody is forcing you to read and respond to every single thread or post. The fun thing about internet is that you can pick and choose what discussions you take part in. This one is for celebration, so leave the negative attitude outside. If you wish to argue or debate genders or sexes or what pride or parades mean, this isn't the right place - there's plenty of educationary content in the internet.

" If you sold your nidus, accepting platinum or some other item in exchange, then why should be buyer be penalised? "
"So you mean you can not sell non prime frames for plat or anything else? If so, correct.Not sure what you mean by "or to another player"?
All sales must be to "another player"."
No, I literally ment that you don't understand the situation, since you clearly didn't know how selling stuff works. Your opinion was based on misconception that OP got something meaningful out of the exchange, that there would be a buyer that would be penalized for reversing the trade. Though Yeah, you are correct in that sales to other players are final - but that isn't the case here.
OP made a mistake they can not fix, while DE can fix it. DE shouldn't NEED to fix it, though - quest frames should be acquireable via some other method too (like replaying the quest or adding them to the market once quest is complete), but unfortunately, nothing like this has been implemented yet.Even if OP sold the frame on purpose, reversing the trade would be fair since every other frame in the game can be re-acquired ingame (apart from a couple of similar quest frames) and there's no warning and no way to know InGame that you can't re-acquire Nidus (or another quest frame). All the other frames, you can safely sell and build again later if you so wish.
EDIT: Actually, you are right. People should learn from their mistakes. In this case, though, the mistake is on DE's side - they really should learn from these and implement a buyback feature or add quest frame blueprints to market (after you've acquired the frame) (or make quest frame blueprints re-useable) (or a similar solution). OP's mistake likely wasn't on purpose, and even if it was, unless he has been reading the forums, he might not have known the consequences. The fault really isn't on him. -
9 minutes ago, (PS4)Deadmennwalking said:
The whole OP doesn't seem justified to me. As I respnded to another player:
Still can't see any justification for a "refund".
What happened to "learn from your mistakes"?
Have fun and may RNG be forever in your favor.
You don't seem to grasp the situation.
You can't sell normal (non-prime) frame parts to another player. You can't sell built frames (prime or not) to other players.
This means that OP has sold Nidus for credits (25k credits to be exact). While technically speaking, OP did "sell" the frame, practically speaking, he threw it in the trash (because 25k credits is really, next to nothing).
While I normally agree that people should "learn from their mistakes", it doesn't mean that the mistake shouldn't be fixed if possible. Further, the phrase is usually synonymous with "well, at least he knows not to repeat the mistake, right?". Problem, and the reason why OP has contacted support, is that Nidus is a quest frame. You can only obtain his blueprint from a quest, and only once. Apart from forking over real money, about 13 dollars or so (not counting discounts), OP will never, ever, have another Nidus. The request to have it back is pretty fair: OP didn't really gain anything (meaningful) for selling the frame, the frame was trashed so nobody is penalized for returning it, and really, by now DE should have implemented an option to buy the BP from market after you have completed the quest. Of course, it may take a while (several days? A week or two? I have no idea. Hopefully not a month) before OP gets an answer. There's also precedent for these cases - support reverses the event, if it's fairly recent and they can. Reversing it benefits everyone, while not reversing this pretty minor mistake doesn't benefit anyone. -
Here's a fun trick: remember that you get double credits for the first mission of the day. Running sortie as the first thing after logging in each day, can bring in more credits. (THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO INDEX - Doing index as your first mission wastes the bonus). If you are lucky and live at a timezone where the "day changes" moment is during your play time, you can log in, do sortie 1, get double credits, do sortie 2, then wait for day to change, and do sortie 3 for double credits - this will get you 40k, 30k, and 100k credits respectively - 170k for something you Should Be Doing Anyway each day.
(Remember that the day doesn't change the same time when the sorties are refreshed - the day changes some.. Uh... I think it's 8 hours later?)

Full 17 run? But after 9 codes, no more big things spawned on the ground mission and we had no choice other than to extract. I've no idea why this is. Is this a bug or did we maybe do something wrong to get locked out of additional waves?
