Hi,

 

First thing I got to say, today was the first time I actually even heard of Warframe (don't really own a PS4) due to the fiasco rounds involving Mabinogi (which is where I was based) within MMOBomb and thus decided to try it out a few hours ago.

 

What I saw was not quite what I expected: While the tutorial was slow in giving me the controls (which often makes learning the game quick afterwards), the graphics stand out to me. Now, I'm not normally the type to just speak out like this, but I feel I had to say SOMETHING (yes, caps'd a single word, don't mind it please) regarding my arrival.

 

Based on most Third-Person Shooters (given I've got that right about Warframe), I often like to use Pistols (no revolvers, I hate those), sometimes hunting rifle styled guns, swords (shields are a bonus to them) and very rarely rifles. If available, staying back and providing shield/health healing support is my specialty.

 

I thankfully hope to get used to the community here.

Welcome, Tenno! Have some tips for a good start (copypasted, but viable nontheless)
 

Well, first of all, you may want to check the Wiki. Later you can also use Warframe Builder to browse weapon/frame builds and maybe even submit your own.
 
Boltor is a good choice for an anti-Grineer weapon. Karak is equally decent against Corpus.
Seer is... Specific weapon. Not the best out there, but it's definitely an upgrade from Lato. However I'd recommend using your Lato to create Bolto, and later Akbolto.
Rhino is a good choice as your second frame - if you have him, you can farm pretty much any mission.
 
How do you trade stuff? Simple, you need to be in a clan and use Trading Kiosk. And you need to be mastery rank 2 at least.a
Clans? I'm sure you'll find a good clan somewhere. Search on forums. And look for a big clan with every research done, like - for example - Asuro.
 
As for general tips:
 - Don't sell your weapons untill you level them up to 30, or you'll miss the Mastery
 - Do Survival, Endless Defence and Mobile Defence missions for exp and resources
 - When in any of the defences stay near the objective, or you'll be a door hero
 - Door heroes are even more hated than Leechers, so don't do it
 - When in Survival don't activate the capsule untill the support level reaches ~60%
 - People who are activating capsules early are probably even more hated than door heroes
 - Don't waste Platinum on buying weapons/frames - you can get every each of them during the gameplay
 - If you have spare Platinum buy slots. Lots and lots of slots.
 - I've mentioned Leechers... Leecher is a person that stays at the beginning and does nothing during the mission
 - If you happen to go afk - say that. Simple "brb phone" would do
 - Revive your teammates, unless you'll be put in danger. Or unless they are door heroes or leechers. Then teabag them.
 - Always wait for your team in the elevator
 - If you are the last person in the elevator you should activate it
 - Don't break reinforced glass on purpose
 - Try not to act stupid. It's irritating seeing somebody trying to meele a level 30 Napalm with his Cronus and reviving him constantly
 - Be polite. Unless you are talking to a door hero or a leecher.
 - If you are planing to leave Endless Defence or Survival - always inform your team about it. "Leaving at 15 min" will do.

Boy, are you in for a treat next Wednesday.

 

Sounds like I'll enjoy that day. What would be usable with a shield? Just swords or single-handed handguns/pistols? I may have missed others.

 

 

"*Spies....."

 

I am listening.....

 

Did that imply something else? That was not my intention. (Just to clarify, "spying" out of somewhere means going out of hiding in that context).

One thing I like is consistency and you just proved that with the first line. Thanks anyway.

Recommendation: Though I'm SURE that you want to get started gaming, I would advise you to take your time filling out the star chart and getting your weapons leveled up. I advise this because A) Melee is getting a HUGE rework on (hopefully) wednesday and B) It will make the game last longer. I have been playing or a year or so and still not filled out the entire star chart.

The whole meele system is getting a revamp, with combos, different stances and stuff like that.

 

As for shields - a sword&shield weapon won the Community Meele Contest, so we'll be getting that sooner or later.
