    Infestes rapier zaw wrong idle stance/animation

    in Mission Specific

    Posted

    So I built a zaw using the infested rapier strike, infested single-hand grip, and the link that gives +atk spd+status chance/-dmg-crit chance. I can equip vulpine fox (a rapier stance) on it and use it just fine, but it seems that the idle stance and animation used for the weapon are those of swords. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    No shards dropping from teralyst.

    So I've heard that to get brilliant eidolon shards you need to bring 4 lures to the battle. My squad's done that a few times, but every time not only do we not get a brilliant shard, we don't even get the normal shard that drops for killing a teralyst, even though every broken limb had a line attached to it. Has anyone else had this happen? 

     

    Now that I think of it, we always brought more than 4 lures in case some got destroyed even though I was spamming bless. Does that somehow affect the drops?

    I managed to download ~3g for the PoE update and had some fun, but after hotfix 22.0.1 went live and I quit the game, I keep getting the following message:

    Update failed!

    Some content updates could not be downloaded from our servers. 
    Please restart Warframe to try again.

    Does anybody else have this problem? Any way to bypass/fix it?

    How does a Lens Work?

    in Players helping Players

    Posted

    Lens transfer any excess affinity on the equipment the lens is equipped on into focus for their respective school at a certain rate. Greater lens have a higher transfer rate (duh), but which one to use is up to you. Focus orbs increase focus gained by 6x during their duration.

    To maximize focus gain, you need to maximize affinity gained on equipment with the lens on it, and this requires you to know how affinity is split among equipment. Since you can't put lens on companions, there are effectively 2 scenarios:

    1. The affinity from something you killed. 50% of the affinity goes to your frame, and the remaining 50% goes to whatever you used to get the kill. Affinity from weapon kills goes to the weapon, and affinity from ability kills goes to your frame.

    2. Affinity from something not killed by you. This includes bonus affinity from those small secondary objectives in missions, affinity orbs, and (mainly) teammate kills. If you're in the shared affinity range of a teammate who scored a kill, 25% of the affinity generated goes to your frame, and the remaining 75% is split among your weapons.

    The people who answered above already presented a few scenarios for you to generate focus fast, so I won't go into detail. I can give a few general tips:

    If you're the one doing most of the kills, and you're killing with abilities (i.e. Banshee's Soundquake), put lens on your frame as affinity gained from ability kills goes 100% to frame.

    If you're the one doing most of the kills, and you're killing with weapons (i.e. Synoid Simulor), put lens on the weapon. 50% of affinity generated via a kill from a weapon goes to it.

    If you're not the one doing most of the kills, put lens on an equipment and equip only it. 75% of bonus affinity (affinity from teammate kills) goes to your equipment. Remember to stay in shared affinity range.

    Of course, these are pretty specific scenarios, and should only be used as a general guideline. If you take a few minutes to think about and understand how affinity is gained, you should be able to use lens pretty effectively in most situations.

    Really nice , it's great to read long articles like this from time to time, and the topic also rings a bell with me (and probably many other players). The warframe wikia has helped me a lot, from trivial stuff like where Cephalon Simaris' room is to more serious stuff like how some abilities work. I remember being clueless with equinox the first time I played him, and it took a a trip to the wikia to find out maim's damage mainly comes from the release. I probably wouldn't even enjoy warframe were it not for the amount of info available on the wikia.

    So a sincere thanks to all the data-miners and testers out there! You might not get much acknowledge from players, but most of us owe a lot to you people.

     

    This is team information?

    I do speak Chinese, yet I still fail to see what you question is. If you're asking why you were kicked, I would say you triggered the kickbot via  some specific character. The message you sent seems pretty standard, no idea what triggered the bot.

    For the convenience of people who want to help:

    rng for brakk total nonsense

    in General Discussion

    The best way to acquire Brakk would be to do Law of Retribution, as G3 is guaranteed to spawn every run. The daily reset for trials only applies to the arcanes and nothing else, so you can do as many runs as you want, provided you have the keys or can find someone with the keys. 

    LoR is relatively straightforward compared to the other raid, and you can get a pretty good idea of what to do just by watching a video a few times. Joining the raidbus would help as you can find other raiders there, but that's purely optional. 

     

    Trying to farm for Brakk the normal way is imho not that different from farming Xiphos. Don't do it unless you have loads of free time.

    Also i read the post over me and made me wonder when i tried to put a lens on sentinel i couldnt do it, does this was patched at some point ?

    You can't equip lens on companions (and their weapons, if any). This might be due to the fact that the affinity acquired by companions is usually "extra" affinity: most of your companion's affinity comes from teammate kills, and does not affect the affinity you gain, in effect "doubling" the total affinity gain.

    As for the original topic, focus farming is exactly the same as affinity farming. Here on pc before TWW came out I did a lot of stealth exterminations and Berehynia. Sorties also help, especially the longer ones. Affinity boosters also double the amount of focus you gain.

    Yes, lens change all acquired excess (>lv.30) affinity on whatever they're equipped on into focus of their respective school at a predetermined rate. So if you put another zenurik lens on, say, a synoid gammicor and equipped it, the affinity on both your synoid simulor and gammicor would be transferred into focus. 

     

    P.S.: In theory, the most efficient way to gain focus with lens on only 1 weapon is to equip it and only it, then let your teammates do the killing. 

    Cernos prime has terrifying potential and can possibly out class the tigris in damage.

    I took the added percentages of serration, split chamber and crash course.

    then multiplied the total by 6(assuming all  hit the same target here)

    i multiplied that total by the estimated 5X multiplyer from bladed rounds, then multiplied that by 4.9(red crit due to argon)

    then divided the final by 6(i know, redundant, but i needed to go through an order of operations so to speak)

    198k if all shots red crit the same guy.

    33k per arrow.

     

    if you can give a much better calculation, i'd be grateful

    First line is right.

    Second line is wrong. The damage on the stat board is actually the combined damage of the initial 3 arrows. If all 6 arrows hit the same target you would deal 2x the damage indicated, not 6x.

    Third line is not right too because that isn't how crits work. As stated on warframe wikia, the crit bonus from bladed rounds (1.2) stack additively with other crit bonuses. As you don't even have vital sense, your crit bonus when bladed rounds is activated is 2+2*1.2=4.4. Furthermore, damage of red crits is not crit damage*crit damage. As per wikia, with a crit multiplier of 4.4 and a crit level of 2 (red crit), the effective crit multiplier would be (2*4.4)-2+1=7.8, not the near 25 you came up with. (You can easily test this with soma prime. Simulate a tanky enemy, proc argon scope, and you'll find that red crits dealy a bit less than 2x yellow crit, not the crit multiplier*yellow crit)

    Fourth line, as you have said, is redundant because this would bring all the numbers back to the stat board. Again, I would like to stress that the numbers listed are the damage of all three arrows, NOT each arrow.

    I haven't had time to test the bow extensively, but I do know from what I have tested is that tigris p trumps cernos p when it comes to lv 140 corrupted heavy gunners...which isn't that much of a surprise. However, the bow performs quite nicely on most enemies. Haven't had a sortie to test it in yet though, will form a better assessment tomorrow.

    Feel free to point out areas you believe are wrong.

    Genuinely Impressed.

    I also like the quest, very interesting.

     

    The catch, however, is after the quest I noticed a mod that required me to do something, and I went to do it, probably similar to most. What happened next is pretty obvious from looking at the forums.
