Spoilers: The Second Dream, Problems

[starsrift]

Okay, so I'm at the end (I think) of the Second Dream, where you go into your spaceship and somehow dodge these blasts of energy that come at you.

Except you can't dodge them because they come too fast, when you're carrying this other person.

 

Is there some trick to this? I can't quit, I can't do anything but sit there and eat the blasts. This is time sensitive. I'm really ready to quit Warframe altogether. Glad I didn't spend on Trinity Prime!

You can fire a laser at the projectiles and to charge the chair, pretty sure its just the fire button 

[starsrift]

The fire button doesn't do anything. I'm playing on PC; the LMB shows a pretty aura about the warframe but doesn't do anything, the melee and block button (RMB) also doesn't do anything.

Dude, just left click and shoot your energy beam when Stalker attacks. It's that easy.

[starsrift]

Ah, nope, okay, I got it. Despite there being any lack of a visible projectile on screen or anything like that, turns out the LMB was actually shooting... something.

 

Yikes. Might wanna fix that, DE.

Hope you enjoyed the second dream!

[starsrift]

I did! The story is great, I think, especially for a vidya game! 

 

The mechanics are a little spotty. ;/

Strangely, it was clearly visible laser beam when I was doing the quest. Could it be your video/display setting? Edited February 2, 2016 by FallingHeaven

I'd think it'd have to be a graphics setting somewhere, yeah.

I think the other reason I was confused was because I've been running melee builds, I'm not accustomed to thinking of my LMB being a 'shot' button, but instead, "channel". I don't remember seeing a part to the cutscene where I picked up the gun, either.

The inability to abort or do anything while being hopelessly confused was very unpleasant. You wouldn't believe at how close I got by just dodging the blasts, I dived onto the forums to panic for help after about 20 mins of trying. ._.

 

I think by making Pressure Point so common and Serration / Point Blank relatively rare for new players, one thing that should maybe be re-examined is the way the game trains the player in relation to early quests like these.
