If the choice is Ignis or Atomos, and the criteria is "power", Atomos by a lightyear. Ignis will hit more enemies at once but the Atomos has vastly superior damage and still multi-hits.

That didn't happen for me. It fell off the world shortly after spawn.

If you go to a mobile defense mission on Ceres and get a certain entry point tile, the mission critical data brick may spawn off the map somewhere instead of beside you.

Void Trader was pitched to us as a way to make farming the void less disappointing. You have to play Tier X Foo literally dozens of times to get the one rare thing you want, and everything else you get is a "non reward" because you get a lot of them, couldn't use them, couldn't even give them away. So the void trader was a way to to turn all the non-rewards that were piling up in your inventory into something worth having.
That was true for the first couple of weeks, but now...
Personally I think the major mistake here is only having the void trader give things that you only need one of. He becomes just another bin of "farm to acquire X then forget about it" type rewards. What he needs is to sell things like forma, keys, fusion cores, restore packs, eximus specters, and other sorts of consumable things that players constantly use. Veterans who already have all his farm-once things wouldn't be complaining that he's such a total disappointment because they could still look forward to the chance to turn in all their useless parts for non-useless stuff to help them in other ways.
Also, the really terrible Primed mods are more to do with the fact that the mods they are based off are terrible, than anything else. The problem with Primed Fast Hands isn't that it's specifically Fast Hands...the problem is that Fast Hands itself sucks really bad because it's forced to directly compete against damage mods for space in our loadouts. Should give +10% speed buff per rank, making Primed Fast Hands (at full rank) halve reload times of weapons. That would be a worthwhile mod to own.

and I'm just sitting here like
Inorite?

While I sympathize with people that literally do not have the time to run the event due to real life, I also cannot help but giggle at the thought of flippety-floppers who refused to actually commit to a side now not getting the final reward thanks to their greedily chasing short term goals.
-
I hope they go back and give it the one click functionality of the Daikyu. I think I'd use Opticor more often if they did.
And I'd use it a lot less. The option to use quicker partial shots gives this weapon flexibility.

"Corpus don't use ballistic weapons" Well either change the effect so it shoots energy
They did that. It's called Lanka.
-
If only it was crit-build viable, It would be my standard anti-boss primary.
Honestly we don't need another crit-based tactical nuke bow. Dread and Paris Prime already satisfy that role quite nicely. Heck, the Paris and Cernos do better at that role than the Daikyu.
That's why I want to see the weapon's very high base status performance become its defining feature. And given how catastrophically slow the weapon shoots, that requires that it be elemental and inflict your chosen proc on every shot in order to be useful.
-
This is an easy fix they might actually go for; the lower DPS a mod gives, the less drain it has, going into the negatives if it gives very low (magazine warp) or no (hush) capacity.
If you do this then the only reason anybody would use those mods is for leveling. Mediocre weapons don't get magically good, and for the good weapons you use forma to increase the available points so you can max out on damage mods.
-
erm... it just has the same dps, you just cannot hold the trigger for hours xD
*sigh* This again.
Previously, with a base fire rate of 2, you could stack all of the fire rate mods. The power of old Synoid was the fact that you could turn its 2 rounds per second into 6 without really running into ammo problems.
Now you must remove Gunslinger and Anemic Agility, which right off the bat means that you're losing +162% rate of fire, i.e. literally half of the DPS it had. Then you also have to use Ammo Mutation. Probably Primed Ammo Mutation, which is super expensive to rank up. And, due to the way continuous weapons work (damage update interval), you're pretty much going to waste about 1/4 of your ammunition on overkill unless you use a firing macro..... at new 24 rounds per second that's a lot of wasted ammo.
Synoid Gammacor was OP. It did need to be adjusted. It didn't need to have a stake hammered through its chest. Just changing it from 240 damage at 2/second to 60 damage at 6/second would have been fine and reasonable, but no, it went from one extreme of the spectrum to the other.
(And just to add salt to the wound we have Entropy... which is basically irrelevant after it was nerfed from restoring a fraction of your total energy to restoring a flat 25 energy. Certainly nobody cares about the pointless Magnetic damage, which is useless against 2/3 of the enemies in the game)

Strun
168 base, 7.5% crit chance, x1.5 crit mult
0.925*168 + 0.075*168*1.5 =
155.4 + 18.9
Average damage 174.3
Strun Wraith
150 base, 15% crit chance, x2 crit mult
0.85*150 + 0.15*150*2.0 =
127.5 + 45
Average damage 172.5
... And then you consider that the Wraith version has twice the status chance, better accuracy, bigger magazine size, and reloads twice as fast...
No thanks. Don't touch anything about the Strun Wraith. I've wanted one for a very long time because it seems like one of the more practical and useful shotguns in the game.

I can confirm them being U5 cores
They are actually U5s just a glitch showing rank 1s
^
UC5's. Fusion cores quite frequently show as wrong rank in the UI.

I decided to support Alad V and I'll explain why: he's trying to find the cure for the infestation. Now, I know Alad V is definetly not a good guy, and it's obvious he's trying to use us (just like Nef Anyo, anyway) but what he's trying to get is something that would help the entire system: the cure for the infestation.
This is exactly my reasoning as well.
How can people be so naive, he will use the cure only on himself, nothing more.
I don't understand the playerbase.
Alad isn't in the base hacking the systems and transferring the data. We are. He's not deciding what to give us and what not, because we're the ones with our hands on the goods.

it actually is pretty bad. especially for new players. I'm MR 17, 5k exp or so to MR 18, it takes a while for me to get more MR levels, but for new players? you can get enough EXP for MR 3 in a day if you try, but you cant keep leveling past one test, EVEN IF YOU PASS. the wait should be removed, and you should be forced to do a trial test at the relay before you can take the test again.
It probably ought to be a thing that as soon as a player has enough mastery points to take the trial, they get a new mission. This mission would lead them to the relay and the mastery trial practice rooms. It would also emphasize the fact that you can only take the test once per day.
Being able to rank up once per day sounds cool, but I can't help but wonder if there would be unintentional badness as far as making things easier to bot for gold farmers.
-
To be fair, I did fail the R1 test multiple times because I took a bow and it takes time to develop skill with a bow.
Possibly an argument for the bow being removed as a newbie weapon choice. Loki was removed as as newbie frame choice due to his unforgiving gameplay and high configuration costs, after all.
Maybe the newbie weapons should be the Braton, Latron, and Strun?

Already thought about this a bunch.
Consider. When we come out of cryosleep, we have no memories. By comparison, Lotus is ancient and continuous. She, or whatever it is, has been around since the time of the Orokin. She is intimately familiar with the history of the warframes and the Tenno. She could explain everything about what we are and where we come from.... But she doesn't. There is something she doesn't want us to know. Whether it's because being a people without a past makes us easier to direct toward her enigmatic purpose, or because she believes it kinder for us to remain ignorant is irrelevant. DE has assured us that Lotus is not evil, but good and evil are perspectives rather than absolutes.
Somebody said that maybe Lotus her/it self doesn't really know anything more than we do. In which case, why are we following orders from somebody who doesn't have any strategy except to shoot at the people shooting at us? If Lotus is flying blind, we need to know. We DESERVE to know. So do the millions upon millions of people that we shoot, hack, and burn to ash in her name.
I don't hate the Lotus. I just think should either give us all the information she has or confess ignorance. And until that happens, we shouldn't trust her implicitly.
We don't know where Lotus is, what it is, its history, its ultimate goals, or how it defines its morality. I will serve because Lotus seems to be the least antagonistic entity in the galaxy toward my kind, but it is impossible to trust when the flow of information between us is entirely one-directional.

Waiting time makes sense when it's a way for the devs to make you shed money (i.e. the forgery constructions)
Call me crazy, but I think it's charmingly honest when there are consequences for skill-based failure that can't be categorized as a pay wall.
No tutorial mentioned a practice room.
In fact, no tutorial mentioned how to increase your mastery either.
You're absolutely right. This should be improved. :) The game experience for new players is pretty rough all around.

Just got emails containing rewards for the second battle of the event. Two problems:
1.) Got a second event badge (checked in inventory, not actually given twice)
2.) The email containing my 20 (individually wrapped) fusion cores was addressed to "|PLAYER_NAME|"

Daikyu is pointless.
As a crit based weapon, it's out performed by every other bow. Yes, it has impressive base damage. But what makes bows amazing weapons is their capacity to combine crits with head shots. The difference between a head shot and a head shot crit is massive. Daikyu has a crit range barely worth building for, and can't even try to make that up with multiple hits to try and normalize the crits because its charge time is obscenely bad. Even the humble Mark 1 Paris that almost every newbie picks up is pretty much a superior weapon, with twice the crit chance and twice the rate of shots. Sure the base damage is a lot lower, but you'll crit a lot faster and more frequently.
As a blunt instrument of raw damage, it's out performed by the Opticor. Opticor has somewhat more damage with a half charged shot (which is faster, amusingly) and almost 3 times more damage with a fully charged shot. Plus AOE. And the exact same crit chance just for good measure.
As a status weapon for lategame after damage stops working so good, it's outperformed by... lots of things. Daikyu can reach a high status chance but it is let down by its long draw time and physical-based damage. A huge number of your status procs will be useless puncture or impact, instead of slash, fire, radiation, viral, or whatever else you building for. And, again, you can't normalize out the random rolls with lots of chances because Daikyu is slooooooow. Get a Braton Prime and inflict every status it has with a short burst, instead of a single status effect per 2 seconds of draw time.
I bought Daikyu with platinum to show my enthusiasm for archery as a play style and to encourage DE to keep adding new archery stuff. Not because it's a good weapon.
The way to salvage this thing... is really quite simple: Make it an elemental bow. It still won't do lategame type damage, but the fact that it could reach 100% status chance with any compound element of your choosing would make it at least interesting and unique.

After the first round, the summary of points controlled lost its letters too. The thing next to the minimap where it says A, B, C and D? Those turned into dark empty boxes.
-
Yup. This is a thing. If your map gets too cluttered you can toggle it to full size and then back, to clear the ghost blips.

Bad situation is bad, but, typically if I'm trying to do a key share:
1.) Everybody proves that they have the key. Click the key so it shows up for the group, then everybody declines to clear the vote and move to the next person.
2.) Hosting goes in alphabetical order. No favorites or weirdness.
