When I was a baby space ninja...

[Golgek]

I thought this game was singleplayer

I -almost- bought Oberon with platinum

I thought and was worried that it's impossible to die in this game

I bought the twilight colour palette

 

Your turn! (things you thought as a new player or did horribly wrong)

 

[Hamstertron]

I used to use Super Jump to get up on high ledges and wondered how people did it without Excalibur.

[Mr_bunny]

I bought daily revives with my starter plat.

[Plushy]

I tried to play without using mods

I used the Mk1 gear and a non modded Excal till MR 3, and the whole time I was giving away fusion cores for free because I thought they were worthless, BOY WAS I WRONG.

[Alma_Elma]

I potatoed my Dual Heat Swords because I had no idea how modding worked at the time.

I gave away a Buzzkill for a Decisive Judgement mod because I thought Nikana stances were rare.

[KimchiKen_Prime]

I forma-ed my Dual Ether Swords three times and my non-prime volt six times.

[Azrael]

I will tell you all a tale of great sadness and woe.

I traded my damaged equilibrium to a friend in return for some basic mods, because I didn't want it. Later, when I realized how rare it was, he said he'd give it back. "No problem," he says, "I wouldn't have taken it if I'd known how rare it was! Just wait till I get on next, and I'll give it back."  And then..., DE made them untradeable. Many cries were cried that day...

[Bleak-Knight]

I ranked up weapons without maxing them and then sold them.

Typos? What typos?

[(PSN)LiamRising]

picked loki as my starter and spent 30 minutes trying to use invisibility not realizing i had to equip it first, confused as to why my mk1 braton wouldn't level beyond 30 and wondering during jackal fight why it took all my ammo and he still wasnt dead took my second attempt to figure out hitting his leg lets me kill him.

[(PSN)JaysInc_]

I bought a resource with starting plat (stone me now).

[Ibro156]

I bought Disciple pack instead any of the other better ones.

[(PSN)FriendSharkey]

Bought a syadanna with my starting plat. Had no idea what Reactors and Catalysts were, let alone inventory slots. Made a dojo and bought forma to make a hallway so I could start building the labs,...WTF is a Oracle Room? Reactor Room? ... 24 hours later. 

Met friendly players who invited me to into their mountain clans early into the game. Nope, you are a warlord, no can do. Had no idea how alliances worked and that I had that option. Neither did they. 

[------Solo------]

Joined the game without knowing anything and as many people do bought Syandana with starter plat since i had no idea what potatoes were :P, not even knowing from where to start so i joined the very first mission on the old starchart and met some people that explained to me in details how does the game actually work. (Builds - Dojo - Pros and Cons of weapons - Faction weaknesses - Elemental debuffs - Fusing - Transmutating - making credits - etc...)

Soon after that, they invited me to their clan, gifted me all the essential mods even the corrupted ones, some where unranked, some more maxed, then started to carry me through all planets even those that i didn't have access to.

I got accepted to the clan with open arms soon became their close buddy and we were daily grinding/farming for prime items - mods - fusion cores -etc.

I gave away either my first forma or catalyst or something really important because I didn't have a use for it in first week or two of playing

Thought rhino was best frame

Became best buddies with zanuka hunter, even had my own special corpus locker chair =D

Ignored the void and all of the things that are now in the void. Seriously, I had no understanding of what the fk the void was or what was in it and missed out on so much stuff that is all vaulted away now

Thought the game explained anything

Got a trinket thing from the grineer, didnt look all that nice though

[Zdeadfallout]

I didn't use mastery tests at all DX 

[Lactamid]

Back in 2012 there were random mods and a whole other skill and rank up system.
Every game you had the chance to find something new and I thought it was awesome.

[Heliopata]

When i was a noob, i never moded for radiation, since I thought that I could accidentally kill my teammates or myself.

[Wiintre]

i bought Nikana's skin with my starter plat because i thought they are swords :\

[Tricky5hift]

I rushed building my Cronus with plat.

[Btabc]

I played for a while then left and am now back again!  I couldn't figure out HOW to solo/finish the starting mission against Vor... didn't use mods or ANYTHING and was about level 20 when I finally attempted (did not do the mastery rank tests, so I had about 2 I still had to do haha)!  Was using Excal and felt that he died too much... didn't use abilities.  Didn't know what plat was so I held onto it (thankfully), but blew it on rushing my clan dojo key -_-

 

[SoGlow]

• Bought Imperator Syandana with my starter plat
• Slaped my mom when i configured out that plat will be my life goal in the near future.

[-Spyro]

I fell in love with mag . Still mag is my mostly used frame since 2 years

[RagingGrizzly]

I sold my Excal when I maxed him... big mistake.

Also bought a r5 core for 50p X3
