FTFY

The OP trolled and now wants people like you to defend his ass that should be in solo doing these missions. There is enough info out there on effietively farming. He could just have done research instead of complaining on a forum. The fact you people are defending him instead of directing him to the resources he should have checked instead is what is wrong with the community. When I was clearing the star map intially, I actually took my time to be effective because effectiveness is fun. Idiotcy like the OP aren't. I only did the TWW after like MR12 because I wanted to be as effective as possible.

 

If a new player is willing to learn, then send them to the resources. But if the player is like the OP, then send them to the resources and leave the mission.

Yep, you're right. I definitely can't fool someone who thinks he's being fooled. I'm so troll this is the first topic I ever made about the game and felt embarrassed about actually posting it. I was expecting people to laugh at me because I was convinced the be the one who did something bad.  But yeah, I'm trolling. How does posting on a forum makes someone a not-new player, by the way? Are they really that difficult to find? Is there some sort of secret code that you get in the game after a certain point to be able to access it?  Because guess what. I found the forums when exploring the website while I was waiting for the damn 18Gb to download, and since it took about an hour and a half, I pretty much explored every area.

Another point you made, is that if you go on an endless mission on "pug" with a sub-optimal setup, people will be angry.

First off, someone tells me what pug means. The only thing that comes to my mind is "public game". But wait. Since I'm trolling I already know what it means, I just act like I don't. Sorry, I forget it's just a role I'm playing sometimes.

Anyway, point is, if you go on a public game and expect things from people, how is it the fault of those who join, especially if they join after the mission has started? Are they supposed to know that they joined a faming group?

 

Another point you made is that this thread is "literally mostly people agreeing with the trolling OP".

Okay well for one, No? I'm pretty sure I clearly stated that the point wasn't to have people agreeing with me. I said that I wanted to know what to do with the Warframe I just built.

Second, what does OP mean too? Yeah, yeah, I know, I already know what it means, I'm just really trying hard to look like a victim in all this.

 

You also said that one should look at the wiki about nodes.

Well sorry, but I look at the wiki to know about a weapon or warframeI find interesting. Why would I look up a node? The only reason would be to want to farm a resource, look it up on wiki, and look at the nodes it usually is found on. Plus, I have already been spoiled the fact that there's actually a human inside the warframe, because people who did the required quest can't stop making their character pop out of the warframe all the time. I don't want to know in advance about the missions I haven't done yet, to make sure the game still holds surprises for me. Like the Fight with Chroma. I enjoyed this so much, the fact that I was fighting another warframe, plus being told Ordis would leave us even though I like this annoying AI. I loved this moment. When he refused to leave, I smiled like an idiot in front of my laptop because I felt happy. If I had known before playing the mission, it might have ruined it.

 

You're right, I'm not a casual player. I love video games, and  I always did. That doesn't mean I know all about Warframe.

Want the truth? Fine. I'm 20 years old and severely depressed. I've been viciously bullied during my whole life because I was smaller and skinny. An easy target, indeed. I couldn't even defend myself. Instead of using this to become stronger, I started using my favorite hobby to escape it. Video games. It's still true as of now. Video games are my way to escape my S#&$ty life. I don't go outside unless a close friend manages to drag me out. I don't want to be told how to play a character I like. But maybe I'm trolling.

If you still don't want to even listen to what I say, then I only have 2 words for you. F*ck you.

 

Edit: If you also say I'm making this up to actually look like a victim, then you're missing the point. I'm explaining why I made this post, why this is important to me. I want to be better at what I do in the game. That's it.

With Hydroid's recent changes he's perfectly good performing in a CC role. If you don't want to do Pilfering Swarm, may I recommend giving Corroding Barrage or the augment for his puddle ability a try (I forgot the name of that mod). I have two set ups for Hydroid personally, one where I use Pilfering Swarm and Corroding Barrage and the other where I use CB and the puddle augment so I can heal allies and debuff enemies.

I think it's Curative Undertow. I was planning on getting either that one or Corroding Barrage, so I'd heal or debuff. Both still fit a support role with this, so I'm fine. I'm not really into being a DPS, it's really not what I like. It even bothers me sometimes. I have no problem with being carried, I actually don't feel comfortable as a carry. I'd rather be helpful to the team and make sure they don't die or don't have too many enemies shooting at them.

If my allies lose HP, I can activate Undertow and boom, full HP allies (while CCing and damaging some enemies at the same time, how awesome!).

Nothing wrong with any of that; a node is a node and not all missions are that easy to do solo with any off the top; just make sure when you team to ask the other players what they are going for, just because you are a Hydroid doesn't mean you have the mod points, mod, or slots for such a build - and not all Hydroids are Pilfering! - just make sure to talk to the random allies you have been given and often enough, players will understand that Random is not an optimized type situation and just run the run. Even though Hydroid does lack at his roles without augments, it doesn't mean you have to build him with augments or should feel forced by others to do so, play the warframes that you like, or the way you like them.

 The problem is that when I clicked on the node, it made me join an already started game, so no time to change to another Warframe.

And I forgot to reply to someone:

I'll be honest. I listen to Alestorm (pirate metal) and when I saw him I just felt like a child who was going to have a pirate costume. I also called my loadout "Yarrrrr" as soon as I equipped him for the first time.

So then do the node solo, Ophelia & Assur on Uranus are FARMING nodes. So don't complain because you took a non farming build to a well known farming node just to complete the mission. This problem is more a you problem and not a community problem.

I don't know all the farming nodes yet, simply because I don't have enough experience in the game. I just unlocked Uranus.

[Hydroid without Pilfering Swarm useless?]

Alright, I didn't expect that many answers after just an hour. Welp. 

I'm glad to know Hydroid doesn't exist JUST for Pilfering swarm. I'll look more into wiki to know his numbers, some tips and tricks with him and such.

So you went to a farming node and now you're complaining because you decided not to take the pilfer mod on hydroid. this is why you have a farming build and a general CC-build, take the pilfer on the efficient farming build and have it off for the CC-build. The Only reason to take hydroid to a resource farm node is to be a pilfer hydroid. Its like taking an ember to a farming node and having a full farming squad, its basically not effective.

No, I went on this node because I wanted to complete the mission and move to the next. I didn't want to farm, and I'm not confident enough to play alone in a survival mission, even for 5 minutes, hence the public matchmaking setting.

I just got Hydroid Prime. Started playing him and having a lot of fun with his kit, I've only played him for less than a day and he's already climbing up to the 1rst place of my favorite ones. I'm a CC kind of guy, and even though most if not every Warframe has some form of CC to an extent, I find Hydroid really good at it. Each one of his abilities has a form of CC, making him perfect for my kind of playstyle.

But, as I wanted to go on Ophelia, Uranus, I came across 3 guys who happened to be there to farm, not casually do the mission. I'm not going to give their names, of course, because why would I, I'm just curious about my Warframe.

And there's my problem. I don't have the augment Pilfering Swarm, simply because I don't want it. So 2 of these guys were saying I just have to AFK and wait for 20 minutes because I don't have the mod. But why? Because I don't have the proper mod?

Like I told them, I know it's a gigantic mod for farming purposes, but I don't want it. I didn't build Hydroid just for farming, I did because I looked at his kit on Wiki and thought he would be perfect for me. I find building a Warframe just to farm with it pointless, I just want to have fun.

 

So that said, I have a few simple questions for more experienced players about Hydroid:

Did I really build Hydroid for nothing, unless I'm going to buy the augment? 

Can't Hydroid be played in a CC heavy role? And be good at it?

If Pilfering Swarm is the only good augment on Hydroid, why are there others available to him?

 

 

If the answer to the first question is yes, then Rip my Hydroid, I guess.

 

PS: No stupid replies please, I'm actually wanting to know if I can be useful to my team as Hydroid with my playstyle. Don't care if I'm right or wrong. It's not the point here.
