  1. The challenge for me is in increasing efficiency.

    I take a look at some key videos from people like TheKengineer explaining the maths, then some easy to digest examples from people like Layzar to give me an some ideas, and from there I try to work out my own builds for my own loadouts and see how efficient I can get.

    I like trying to catch up with players in higher level lobbies with powerful builds, and seeing if I can solo add-clear type content as quickly as I can

    No other games like this leans so hard into the power fantasy element, and it's super satisfying.

    I've got a tonne of content to try due to recently returning from a very long break,  I don't know how long this will hold my interest, but nothing lasts forever and that is OK.

    So earlier today I was going to buy just a few dendrite blastoma from the sister on deimos but accidentally hit the max button and without noticing spent all my platinum on it. I submitted a help ticket but was wondering if I either got more blastoma, more platinum, or used any of the blastoma if that would mess with DE potentially fixing it.

    Just make sure to keep at least the exact amount you want refunding. I can't say for certain what support will do here, but that seems logical. Good luck!

  3. I'm not 100% sure, but I think fire rate is decent. The crit chance buff looks good as the bow has a high inherent crit chance. Mag drain. I think the mag size is one of the best negatives as the bow can't go below 1.

    Not sure on price, From what I gather the best ones have 3 positive and one negative, but at the very elast that looks good to use.

    The most desired seem to be multishot and crit chance/dmg though.

    Yes, you will, this is bannable (I have asked before as my friend quit and wanted to give me all his stuff that he could, so I checked beforehand and they said no, if I did I can be banned)

    You can't cross platform trade anyway. If Cross save ever does become a thing (I doubt it will any time soon if at all), then DE will likely provide a way to simply merge your accounts together

    You really can't donate stuff to someone else? I know between your own accounts is not allowed, but I'd have thought they wouldn't mind someone just giving their stuff away if they wanted to.

  5. You know, I probably came in a little hot as I was tired and just wanted the thing to be over as I wasn't having fun, and ran into some into bugs that forced a save reload which pushed me over the edge into forum rant mode.

    I think it's pretty badly done, don't get me wrong, just don't know how productive my post was.

    The saddest part here is that the campaign had sooo much potential, and it just felt utterly wasted.

    I think there is a misunderstanding. I was posting about full time trading (which is more efficient than playing and then trading what you earned). I am by no means trying to poo-poo trading as an alternative. I've actually pointed it out as a viable alternative before. Again, I was just stating the fact that if you full time trade, you're sacrificing actual gameplay to sit in the economy and buy your way through rewards (the same applies if you just whip out a credit card). Does that clear it up? I feel like I'm being responded to as if I am saying trading is a no-no. I simply wanted to point out the negatives associated with taking the route as it's important to analyze that for a clear depiction of the overall picture.

    You are correct. This is not what I meant when I said that.

    And it wasn't what I was talking about, either. Looking back at my posts, they were quite clear.

    Saying that, trading is a part of the game just as much as shooting, and flying, and crafting, etc... if someone wants to focus on trading alone, they are still playing the game. It's no less valid than grinding out missions over and over.

    It's just a fact. You can choose to play the gameplay for the rewards or you can buy your way through most of those same rewards. You can sit in trade chat and warframe.market flipping stuff and just get most items. Whether that's worth it for you is obviously your choice, but you're spending time or money in trading/buying platinum to bypass playing the gameplay. I did this personally with Citrine's update. I found Mirror Defense to be a boring gamemode and whaled myself through almost all of the items offered from playing it.

    It's not a fact at all.

    It's not "bypasing the gameplay" lol, tading is an inherent part of the gameplay. Just because you took the longest route (which is fair, if you enjoy that kind of grind more), doesn't mean you earning it was any more valid than someone who found a shorter way.

    It's not "whaling" in any sense of the word if you grind the game and sell what you earn via gameplay.

    If you grind Platinum (which is more efficient for time) and exclusively buy your way through grind, are you really doing yourself a favor? Warframe is pay to win by allowing you to do this, but every purchase you make for items you can farm, you're paying to play the game less.

    What is this logic?

    If a player figures out they can farm elsewhere and sell items to buy the frame they still played the game to get there.

    That's just smart use of time. Time being the most precious resource all of us have.

    That's a lot of words for "I don't like how other people are playing this game" even though there's a Solo, Invite-only or Friends-only option in matchmaking.
    Don't like what people in pubs are doing? Play on your own or with like-minded people.

    This is kinda ironic honestly. They're not saying people who enjoy min/max are wrong, they're saying "play how you want" which includes those players.

    Their issue is players who obsess over meta to the point they actively negatively intrude on others.

    Oh, and for limited time stuff... look at the market for some of the holiday stuff right now.

    i'd skip the emblems etc. that cost plat but there are quite a few cosmetics you can get right now for 1 credit (yea, credit, not plat) for the holidays.

    worth a look at least 🙂

    Will do, I remember the difference!

    Oh, and where is the most populated player hub if there is one? Like, in some MMOs there's one place where everyone goes to chat/trade/menace etc... does WF have a capital?

    You have more than enough for anything you'll need for a long time.

    The only things that you really NEED plat for are more inventory slots. And those are super cheap. It is also useful to have for reactors and forma... but those are 20-35p themselves.

    Don't spend any big plat on stuff like Rivens etc. until you REALLY mean it. And even prime mods (usually go for 400'ish plat) aren't even remotely necessary for 99% of the game.

    Hit up warframe market (google it) and search around if there are specific mods you want/need when you get a build setup you want to try. The vast majority are cheap and you can decide if you want to farm them or just dump 20-50 plat into the mods.

    But yea... really... unless you go hog-wild and buy rivens or a couple arcane energize or something, you'll likely not need to worry about plat anytime soon.

    gl man 🙂

    Ok, that all barely made sense to me via my experience of past iterations of this game and MMO style games in general... is there still player to player trading? I made that 6k buying selling mods ages ago.

    I'll hold off spending anything until I know more, thanks very much!

    You answered your question yourself already, there's mostly no positive stuff about the game in this forum.. sadly.. 

    Edit: I meant it as in "most answers won't be positive" I'm surprised though, wonders happen, merry Christmas ^^

    Oh, that makes perfect sense now.

    And yes, I'm aware how fired up core communities can be. There has always been a fair share of that in WF (look at my "recent" post history for feedback threads where I'm literally lamenting about people moaning all the time! and that was back in 2013...).

    shoo

    let him get used to it

    @Zakalwe 

    One more thing you should probably know, the games changed, for sure. 

    The forums have become a nasty place mostly filled with self-righteous smartasses who will do anything to sound smart and corny

    Yeh, I've noticed the other sub-forum by now and have requested a mod move the thread.

    And so far we're running with a majority of helpful, the forums always had their fair share of the opposite. 😛

    I'm quite curious, what did you mean when you said wrong place?

    Where else could he post a topic, regarding warframe and it's interesting, and find out about new additions and information?

    Please do elucidate.


    I'm assuming the PHP sub, but this isn't that far off General talk. I doubt anyone's going to sustain lasting damage by it.

    Ha, I'm feeling quite overwhelmed.

    Standing in my Orbiter and I have no idea what I'm supposed to do.

    All my gear is still here... the mod system has completely changed... I guess I should just dive into some missions and try to learn as I go... there's so much to take in!

    You can expect to be completely confused lol.

    There are many new systems and ones that you remember probably work differently now. I do not want to spoil anything for you but, if you enjoyed the game enough back then to be a founder then I think  you will be pleasantly surprised as to what the game has become over time. 

    My suggestion for you is to immerse yourself in the game once more. I think you will like it even more then you did back in the day. 


    Expectation matched, lol.

    And yes, I'm just going to dive in and hope for the best! Cheers Tenno!

    Well, since you left few years ago, you probably missed a few things. I'll do very , very quick recap of the most important.

    - Did prime versions of stuff exist when you left ? Like Warframes and weps , if not, that's new.

    - Archwings.. Know what they are ?

    - 2 Open world area with quests / mining / fishing / grinding for mats.

    - Probably tons of new planets / quests to do ( We now have 18 planets I think ? )

    - Probably many new Warframes ( we have 37 or 38 different now, not counting prime version of some )

    - A lot of weps / mods

    - Relic system with fissures to collect Warframe/wep parts/blueprints ?

    - And a overall very nice community

    That's kinda on top of my head.. I started playing just a tad over 3 months ago..

    Prime stuff is all I see that's  familiar.
    We can fly?
    Oh my...

  16. You just returned to the game.

     

    It's not clunky. Super Jump is SLOW in comparison. Super Jump just send you more or less upwards at a shallow angles even when you are moving, directional melee allows fine directional control ... probably TOO good actually, because after a while you learn to land on railings and even stop on top of poles accurately.

     

    Yes, I'm aware I just retuned to the game. Hence the questions...

     

    The slow rise of super jump is a massive part of the charm for me. It allows me to view the battlefield for a moment and gauge what I need to do, or to make priority shots, or simply to use it as a breather mid combat.

    Directional melee sounds different in ways that wouldn't make it as enjoyable for me. 

     

  17. Jump then melee in the direction you are aiming. If you aim up, then you will get launched much the same manner as Super Jump.

     

     

    Super Jump is being removed because it is basically a redundant ability, as something similar can be done with every frame. In addition, it has been mentioned that parkour2.0 might have a charged-jump mechanic, making Super Jump even more obsolete.

    Sounds clunky in comparison. Is it very easy to pull this off? Is it just as good in terms of manoeuvrability? 

  18. Just returned to the game to find out this is happening. It's easily my most used power, I love the manoeuvrability and other frames often feel so restricted to me not being able to launch themselves in the same way.

     

     I realise this conversation must have been had a few times now, but man does it suck. ;_;
