Yes, just tap shift to dodge. Doesn't matter if you're moving or standing still. Rolling will knock them off.
EDIT: Grineer Seekers throw them. They're bright green and tend to stay away from combat.

Thank you, Imbaland, very much. Your laptop is better than mine, though, and I assume your hard disk is an SSD which is much faster.
Still, at least I know that the power supply for my laptop is not the issue.

I hope they bring back the easter one. I'm upset that I was one day late to get it :(
I want the Valentine's pack.

I would like an option to turn off shaking entirely. It's annoying.

I've never had framerate issues in this game. Not once, in any situation, and I've played with 4 people before.
I also play on a laptop.
Would you be willing to go to these threads and post your specs and that you have no issues? Please?

I'd like to compare our hardware and try and find out why I am having performance issues on my laptop.
-
I want DE to see this as I've read here and there about big deficits in performance compared to hardware specs.
I made a thread seeking advice from players and I think this warrants more discussion.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but DE Steve has said that system resource usage is capped in Warframe.
Is that the whole story or is this a compatability problem? I'm thinking it might have to do with Catalyst drivers.
The performance I see does not match what my hardware should be capable of.
-
Could be I have crossfire off myself. The game might not support it sincei it is not in options. Are those drive update messages valid? If so it might help a small bit to do the driver updates.
Edit: Careful with the AMD drivers, I accidently loaded Catalyst 13.x on my computer and mine is no longer supported.
Interesting. Yes, I have the latest Catalyst drivers for my hardware, according to AMD's auto updater. That could be the problem.
-
It should, yes.
-
It's always plugged in and I set it to high performance in the application profile, and set the battery manager to high performance.
Can You Run It? doesn't seem to recognize my second graphics card but it's there. Maybe Warframe isn't optimized for Crossfire so it's not utilizing it?
-
I do, yes, but it is far worse in multiplayer.
As a matter of fact, Can You Run It? shows me that not only does my machine pass in every category, it does so with flying colors.

DE has already explained that system resources usage is capped in Warframe. However, that doesn't quite explain why I'm having problems of my own. My FPS is great most of the time at 50 to 60 FPS then tanks at other times for no apparent reason. It's not even a case of alot of actors or effects going on. It just drops to 10 to 20.
Nothing is running in the background, I'm not using Steam, and I'm playing solo when this happens.
My relevant specs:
AMD A6-3420M 1.5 GHz
6 GB DDR3 System RAM
500 GB HDD (230 GB free)
AMD Radeon HD 6520G 512 MB Dedicated RAM + 7670M 1 GB Dedicated RAM
The CPU is quad-core.
Now I am playing on a laptop so I've considered that the power available to my system might be the culprit. This laptop is kind of unique, though, it's an Acer Aspire 7560G. It has a Crossfire configuration with the on-board graphics and the dedicated graphics. It has both. So before anyone says I don't know what I'm talking about, look it up.
On paper, this machine should have no problem running Warframe. I've stripped my running processes down to the bare bones minimum, cleaned up my hard drive, defragmented, and even turned off Aero. It still happens. I set Warframe's application profile to run at various settings. Doesn't seem to help at all.
Am I right that since it's a laptop it just doesn't have the power to run Warframe well? This doesn't make much sense as other games run just fine without any performance hits to speak of (Skyrim, for example, runs at a steady 40+ FPS on medium settings). I've turned all my Warframe settings down to the lowest I can already.
Can anyone help me out here? Tell me some tweaks to try?
Is Warframe's built-in resource allocation cap to blame?

We're talking about video games here, my friend.

The snipetron doesn't have a scope. It's just the zoom scale is much higher
To be honest that's what I meant. It narrows your field of vision too much for my tastes.
-
I've never used the Snipetron but in this kind of game I don't want a scope.
Latron. It's a good middle ground since you prefer melee. No scope but very accurate and excellent ammunition economy. The Paris is nice and all but doesn't have much ammunition and a much lower rate of fire. The Latron has a much flatter trajectory, too, making it easier to use and make follow-up shots.
But my advice: pick whatever weapon you want based on looks/stats and just practice with it.
-
Ah, the thrust of the post was lost, I understand. But that's basically what I meant.
Feminists label the things that female gamers (or they themselves) dislike as sexist. That was what I was trying to say.
Sexism was never an issue until it was artifically turned into one.
-
Sorry, but:
is a generalization.
No, I was rather specific when I mentioned feminists.
-
Reading comprehension, you need it.
Actually, you're generalizing right now without even realizing it. Sexism is not a women's issue.
-
I have an Ash, Excalibur, and a Rhino.
Excalibur is my favorite so far and, in my opinion, very utilitarian. There's nothing it can't do. It's a good sniper frame because of Super Jump and Radial Blind, allowing it to reach good firing positions and escape and evade when necessary, and it's a good direct damage unit with Radial Javelin. Slash Dash has more uses than simple damage. It actually makes a decent form of rapid travel and can be used to move from point A to point B rapidly.
Anyone who says Super Jump is useless isn't using it right.
-
Isn't that kind of discriminating against female gamers... :< just putting it out there.
No, no it isn't. I'm lamenting the current trend of slapping the label 'sexist' on everything that's not just what certain people agree with/like/want.
-
I had no idea so many people played with the bloom turned on. It annoys the hell out of me. They overdid it.
-
i think its very sexist that female gamers can't choose to play as female from the start.
Except it's not sexist at all. In order for something to be sexist it needs to actively discriminate against men or women. That isn't the case here.
I swear, one of the worst things to ever happen to gaming is feminists. Everything that isn't exactly what a female gamer wants is sexist.
-
Wouldn't hurt to add to the last point: armor penetration mods don't actually mitigate enemy armor, they simply add damage based on the enemy's armor rating. If a target has 100 armor and I have an armor penetration mod that does "+20% armor penetration" then I'm doing an additional 20 damage to them on top of all my other damage.
-
I've tried that, DYNASTY16, it does nothing. As the devs themselves have said there is a built-in resource cap in the game itself.
