Haven't played since the sands of inaros can someone help me?

[HueOfBlood]

I need to know about any new mechanic or system that's been implemented since the sands of inaros update and how they work, great thanks to anyone that can help

 

[SurrealEdge]

Only change I can think of since Sands of Inaros is the changes to how archwing works. You haven't missed anything since then since The War Within has been pushed back to possibly sometime in October.

Everything is the same otherwise.

Edit: Nope I completely forgot about how fusion cores were changed into endo, new solar map, and ayatan sculptures. You're better off looking at the wiki to be caught up.

Ohhhhhh boy.  You missed a LOT of big things.

 

I'd just run down the entire wiki for Lunaro, Specters of The Rail, and The Silver Grove, because I'd pr,obably wind up testing the forums' character limit if I tried to explain everything you missed.

[Beggining]

You can ask players on Players Helping Players to help you: they're usually quite friendly and are willing to tag along if needed :)

[SurrealEdge]

I know that this part of the site hasn't been updated, but it's sufficient if you don't want to wade through the wiki:

Archwing had only just been introduced last time I played, I have no idea what the hell is going on myself.

OH DEAR GOD

CHECK EVERYTHINF POST UPDATE 15

AND THEN CRY IN THE CORNER

[Obviousclone]

every warframe has a passive now. Go to the abilities screen in your arsenal/pause screen to see them (none of them are useful except for Inaros).

Mirage's prism is now line of sight dependent. To compensate this nerf,  they "balanced" her by buffing the damage of sleight of hand (it's still a useless ability).

Trinity blessing is no longer global. It now grants a flat 50% dmg reduction (which can be buffed by power strenght up to 75%). Glaive-Blessing Trinity is dead. EV remains the same.

Vauban's Bounce has been transformed into Ivara's Quiver. You can now select between 4 different traps: A tripwire, the original bounce, an armour shred mine and a stun grenade.

Mag's Shield Polarize no longer has % scaling. Her Bullet Attractor now functions like Nyx's absorb, but cast on enemies.

Volt's Discharge now does an aoe stun and does more damage if enemies are clumped up. The stun lasts less on clumped up enemies.

Nekros Desecrate is now a toggle. It drains energy/health for each corpse consumed and destroys corpses. Shadows of the dead can only have 7 shadows out because of frame rate issues. The shadow now last forever, but they lose a % of their health each second based on duration, you can heal and re-position shadows by recasting.

 

Star chart is now a big map. Left click on a planet/node to zoom in, right click to zoom out. Old void got blown up and is now it's own planet you can visit forever.

if you've unlocked (most of) the starchart, there's a new "junction system". these are basically gates between planets that you unlock when you don't own most of the starchart. Think of them as small achievements/tasks to do. Do the tasks, then enter the junction gate, to unlock the junctions and receive a nice set of rewards.

Planets furthest from the sun are the hardest. Draco is dead. Everyone levels up at Berehynia (Sedna) or Akkad (Eris) now. Hieracon is still the god node.

Matchmaking now let's you choose to wait for players or host. Hallelujah.

That bug where you click on an alert/invasion, and get dumped into the not-alert/not-invasion variant is still a thing. Boo.

That bug where the mission vote doesn't appear for some reason has been reported to be fixed. I cannot confirm or deny whether it's actually gone.

Mission alerts don't tell you if it's archwing.

Deception as a game mode has been removed (except for alerts and syndicate missions).

Alerts can now award the new fusion core type, Endo. The chance of alerts awarding Helmets has been drastically increased.

Invasions that give credits are gone. Invasions that gave fieldron/detonite injectors now give like 3 of them at once. Infested Invasions are still the same.

Credit gain across the star chart is much lower. The exception to this rule are Dark sectors which still grant the "normal" amount. The removal of the old void also contributes to low credit count. If you do credit alerts like I do, it's not that bad of a change.

The Raptor bossfight got a rework. It's still a giant osprey. Actually kinda fun to fight now.

 

 

Void is now alert based. Your keys got transformed into Cabbages (they function the same). Check the alerts tab to find void fissures.

Click the mission type you want to do (yes, you can do reactor sabotage or Spy missions to farm primes), then select the Cabbage (based on the loot you want).

Complete the mission, and extract while you pick up 10 Lemon Candies from enemies that spawn during the yellow lightning. Then select your loot (you can pick the drops that your allies got, everyone shares loot, kinda fixed keysharing).

At the end of the mission you get void traces which can be used to increase the drop chance of rares.

overall, you are more likely to get the stuff you were farming for, and less likely to acquire large amounts of primed junk. T3 is still a royal pain to farm. Forma is easier to manage.

There is no more endless void for endless amounts of primed junk. there wasn't much incentive to go that far anyways even with the old system, but it's a loss for a significant portion of the playerbase (I am not part of that group, I'm the slacker who liked doing capture keys only). 

 

They brought back explosive barrels all over the map. They also introduced Freezing Explosive barrels to Corpus maps (why)

They added special containers for each resource. Resources now look like their icons on the ground instead of hockey pucks.

 

There is a new PVP game mode. Lunaro. It's like basketball. But the ball explodes if you hold onto it for 5 seconds. No killing allowed.

 

Primed Pressure point is a thing. The power creep is real. (PS primed pressure point sucks efficiencywise and is very min-maxy)

Shotgun silence mod is now a thing. It drops from Kela de Thaym

 

Fusion system now uses a new resource called Endo. Endo replaces fusion cores. Your fusion cores got transformed into Endo points. Legendary cores are still the same.

Your Endo points are in the top right of the mod screen.

Mods can no longer have partial fusion ranks. If you had partially fused mods, the partial level was refunded in credits/endo.

You can select stacks of mods with middleclick. Turning junk mods into endo is free. Fusing up mods costs more than the old fusion. You may or may not care depending on your credit supply.

You can acquire Endo Treasures (stars and scupltures) by going to Maroo's Bazaar (found on Earth), and talking to Maroo for a weekly quest involving ye olde void parkour rooms. Opening containers/lockers in any mission also may yield these treasures (VERY RARE). The treasures can be used to decorate the ship, sold for credits or consumed for Endo. The sculptures have moving parts and the parts can be enabled by using the stars on them.

There are now posters you can buy to decorate your ship. The posters display fanart. People have used the posters as Boards for the purpose of artificial Furniture. Look up "ikeaframe" on youtube for more details.

 

Kavats are a new companion type. You can acquire them by buying genetic code from the store, or by going to any orokin derelict mission, and scanning them (they are invisible, you'll need to right click to see them).

There's 2 types:

type 1 is the adarza and gives teamwide flat 60% crit chance buff for a few seconds.

type 2 is the smeeta and based around insanely good but rng buffs. Here's a link to the wiki, because the list of buffs is huge and the buffs are insane (like guaranteed red crits for 30 seconds or 2x exp for 120 seconds)

 

New warframe, Titania. Can be acquired by doing quest: The Silver Grove. It involves scanning plants.

Start the quest by going to a relay and talking to New Loka.

After you finish the quest, you can re-craft and re-fight the quest bosses on Earth. The bosses can drop new aura mods (such as pistol amp/shotgun amp).

Titania is a fairy themed supportframe. She can make enemies float, grant cc immunity to allies, provide 4 different very weak but long duration, stackable buffs to teammates, and use archwing on land (using a special set of exalted archgun/archmelee).

Titania's animation stances have brought a new level of ascension to fashion framers (literally and figuratively).

 

new in game emotes: Sit and kneel (there might be a 3rd I'm forgetting, but sit and kneel are the best)

 

Cephalon Simaris sells a new melee weapon, the Heliocor. Whenever this hammer kills anyone, it scans them into the codex (for free). It's okay.

The strongest sword in the game is the Galatine Prime. It has the highest base damage for melees in the game.

The strongest hammer in the game is the Fragor Prime. It has the highest base crit chance (35%) for melees in the game. It also has a slightly higher bonus damage when channeling.

 

There are 6 new Syndicate melee weapons. they cost 125k standing. The strongest one is the Telos Boltace. The worst one is the Synoid Heliocor (yes it is weaker than the normal Heliocor). They all have unique passives that no weapon can provide. They do not have built in syndicate procs.

There are new warframe augments:

Atlas (landslide leaves a trail of rocks that stun enemies)

Nezha (can give Warding halo to others, including the cc/status immunity part. yes it is insanely good for radiation sorties)

Ivara (moves faster during prowl and can ignore spy lasers)

Inaros (sandstorm now scales with melee mods)

Ash (teleport auto-melee finishers and refunds some of the energy)

Oberon (Renewal instantly revives allies killed during it's effect)

banshee (soundquake now grows in range, damage and energy cost, up to 20x effect. Range can reach 100m of stunlock, yes she is now a meta DPS frame for draco-style gameplay)

Wukong (Two augments: one allows him to jump using iron jab on the ground and empowers his next melee attack, and two gives him a stackable crit chance buff whenever he hits an enemy during primal fury)

Nyx (nyx can now slowly move and shoot during absorb)

Ember (accelerant cast speed buff is now shared with allies and allies get bonus fire damage)

Valkyr (pressing alt fire during Hysteria causes her to leap towards enemies).

You can now buy archwing weapons with syndicate standing.

Syndicate missions have had their reputation bonuses reduced. Syndicate allies can no longer trigger alarms for spy missions (god bless)

 

You can now craft all archwings through clan research.

New archwing-Amesha, the supportwing. It's consider OP and mandatory for Jordas Verdict with the Trinity blessing nerf

Archwing now uses full 3d movement system. You'll be sick for 30 seconds, then adjust. To rotate the camera, wag your crosshair in a circle.

Archwing exp gain has been buffed.

Archwing defence has been removed from the game (except for alerts).

Two new modes for archwing, pursuit and rush. I have not played either so I cannot comment on them.

 

Orokin Derelict dragon keys are acquired from the Tenno rail section of the clan research lab.

 

You missed these temporary events:

The return of the acolytes and Argon scope not being expensive AF.

The return of Mag prime (and boar prime and Dakra prime)

The vaulting of Loki prime (and Bo prime and Hikou prime)

The Corpus bust event. for a month there were 50% market plat discounts on popular items such as: Mesa, Hunhow's gift, Catalyst/reactors. At the end there was no unique weapon however.

 

New gunblade- The sarpa. New gunblade stance:bullet dance to match the sarpa, bullet dance can be acquired from Void Tileset Sabotage caches.

New melee hammer: the Sibear, the cold hammer. You need 30k Cryotic to craft.

Vauban now has a primed frame. You will need 9k oxium and 20 Nitain to craft him.

Nekros now has a primed frame. He actually has reasonable costs.

...there were other new weapons, but they are boring and I don't care or remember what they were.

 

Quanta Vandal is worth about 2k Plat on warframe.market. Have a copy from Baro that you were saving for selling? Now would be a good time.

 

The majority of weapon deluxe skins (except for banshee's sonicor deluxe skin), are now universal and can be equipped on any weapon of the same type. (eg, the palatine jat kittag skin can now be used on any hammer)

new Nova Asuri Deluxe skin. Kinda looks like a Mcdonalds ballpit. Has special FX whenever using skills that causes additional arms to appear behind her like Zenyatta from overwatch or the hindu god: Shiva the Destroyer. Comes with a melee pole-arm skin.

new banshee Soprana deluxe skin. looks like a DJ. Also has panties ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). Limbo/mesa levels of "looking like an actual human". No special effects. Comes with a Sonicor skin.

 

If you used the parkour strategy of, slide, into bullet jump, into spacebar, well unfortunately that trick got nerfed.

minimap now shows enemy facing direction (if you have enemy radar)

ship parts: Kavat incubator segment (acquired from killing Hyekka masters, or clan research). Void Refinement segment (acquired from the Earth-mercury Junction reward).
