  1. You haven't used teleport? That means you're underutilizing Ash. It's like people who don't use Super Jump on the Excalibur, you're hamstringing yourself. Ash's teleport can teleport you to any actor: allies, consoles, containers, enemies, explosives... anything that has a health bar. It can probably even teleport you to reinforced glass.

  2. Insects have exoskeletons (and many are, indeed, armored), does that mean there's another being inside them?

    The word 'suit' is not always used to describe something being worn, only something donned or put on, which can be figurative or literal, especially if you're uploaded into it from your original body or controlling it remotely.

    Nothing about the final example exempts a virtual presence.

    Here's an interesting example of a statement that can be taken either way:

    Tenno are often referred to as one in the same with their warframes, which shows how important the exo-armors are in Tenno society.

    - Lotus

  3. Because Lotus herself never names any Tenno and consistently calls the player 'you', it's very ambiguous, so I believe it to be up to interpretation.

    One can easily argue that we are either inside the Warframes playing as separate characters or each Warframe is fashioned after a heroic figure or pioneer and replicated and the consciousness is uploaded al la Surrogates (an interesting movie, by the way).

  4. So I got my Lex to 30 and while it's a beast (and my favorite weapon) I don't know if I want to supercharge it yet.

    So what should I get next? I've been thinking about a Sicarus. I don't like the way the Kraken looks.

    Any suggestions are welcome.

  5. Depends on what you want: rapid-fire DPS or single-shot DPS. Both cater to different playstyles.

    If you enjoy sniping, go with the Latron after the Braton, and if you like close-in CQB, go with the Strun. Either way, your sidearm should be the opposite of your primary. If Latron, get a Furis (or Afuris) or Viper. If Strun, get a Bolto, Lex, or Sicarus.

    If you need weapons u can use l long time without many problems or upgrades, i prefer AKBolto and Boltor.

    Using both Akboltos and a Boltor is pointless. Might as well not even carry a primary/sidearm.

  6. I don't know if these points have been mentioned:

    - At the beginning of the mission to destroy J3-Golem, Lotus mentions the ship you're on is Orokin. Because it shares aesthetics with all the other environments, I think it's safe to assume that all ships and the planetary bases we fight on are either directly Orokin or derived from Orokin technology. Therefore, I don't think the Corpus or Grineer are capable of constructing spacefaring vessels of their own, or we simply never see any.

    - Tyl Regor mentions something about Eternity in his commentary, even capitalizing the word. This means it's a proper noun.

  7. And I'll have to correct the bolded; if you pin an enemy and it goes flying by one of their buddies they will notice and be alerted to your presence, likewise if an enemy walks toward a wall and is staring straight-ahead at a dead ally, they'll notice that too.

    This isn't correct. I have killed so many enemies right in front of their friends with the Paris and all they do is look at them, then go on their way.

    Enemies aren't automatically alerted to your presence by corpses but they do go to investigate them.

  8. That post is just a whole lot of circumstance and hyperbole. It doesn't mean anything in the current vein of discussion.

    I could easily argue it's opposite based on any number of things I've encountered playing Warframe.

  9. This stuff is what happens when you 'use your brain'. People don't always come to the same conclusions you do. People don't all think in the same way.

    If by this you mean that they do not think critically or for longer than a few seconds before jumping to conclusions, I'm aware of that.

    But that is not 'using your brain'.

  10. There are a lot of problem with multi-GPU/Hybrid system, my guesses is :

    1. Crossfire if somewhat somehow disabled for Warframe, and your system run it with the integrated GPU only (happened a lot with Nvidia+Intel systems because of crappy Optimus GPU switching detection). Is there any way to force it to run with your discrete GPU, just to make it sure?

    2. There aren't any special Crossfire app profile for Warframe yet. Considering that AMD's Hybrid Crossfire is downsided on CPU-side, it's possible that the load on integrated GPU is not balanced enough with the discrete GPU, and that impacted on CPU performance, thus the erratic FPS. Needs some confirmation on other games with the same engine as Warframe, like The Darkness II or Homefront.

    I'm not an expert in any of this thing (not even an enthusiast, just a casual gamer), so don't take my words too much...

    1. Yeah, I'll try that. I just have to disable Crossfire.

    2. I made a new application profile for it, toying with AFR Friendly and Optimized 1x1. I do see an FPS boost overall which gives me some hope.

    There are a multitude of things you can try. Disable DirectX 11 and/or 64-bit mode in the launcher. Disable any potential power-saving modes your laptop might be running in. Disable asynchonous Crossfire with your CPU's IGP. Buy faster system RAM, since that hamstrings your CPU's IGP. Try different Catalyst driver versions, up to and including the latest beta driver.

    The one thing you should not have done, is make another fresh post referring to this post in another sub-forum because you didn't think you got enough attention in the < 90 minutes since your original post. You are the reason forum mods have a hellish task to keep things organized.

    Just my $0.02.

    I've tried all of the above except investing in new RAM. I can try that next paycheck.

    What I did had nothing to do with attention but with research (helps to have numbers all in one place). You can have your two cents back.

    EDIT: Considering I'm a moderator on two other high-traffic boards, I fail to see how me making a few posts here or there would be an issue. Why you're going so far off-topic, though, that's another matter entirely.

  11. The Camera/Door mechanic is not adequately discoverable nor explained, and the cause/effect relationships (particularly in multiplayer) are not cut-and-dried enough to expect people to figure out what's going on.

    Everyone who says it is "obvious" now either (A) got lucky the first time they were introduced to them or (B) were already primed with explanations or hints or © have forgotten what their original experience was really like.

    I was neither of those and I am certainly no genius.

    It is very simple and straight-forward. Camera screams an alarm and turns red, lasers and turrets come out to play. If you fail to make that association you need better situational awareness or you need to be more thoughtful. Problem solving is something you should go into anything prepared to do.

    1. Perfect.

    2. No. That makes them much too easy to overcome after you've figured them out.

    3. No. You should assume all doors have their lasers armed. This is rational.

    4. No. The real problem there is a lack of teamwork. If a newbie is falling behind, stay with them, and rushers are not being team players.

  12. It would make no sense to get rid of the Camera shake. You're not going to have shockwaves without camera shake. Move farther back from your teamates. You can't just remove a vital function from a game. I use the Paris, so I get that it can be annoying, but you just have to work around it.

    Move further away? When a player performs a jump attack it shakes my camera even in the next room.

    This makes defense missions very hard for snipers. And of course, the people doing it ignore me when I ask them to stop.
