Warframe in the Playground 2.0

[Eldariel]

Hoping for crit, hoping for crit...

I'd actually like it if they did something different, like a weapon with significant bonuses to channeling damage or something. That seems like it'd suit a katana-style weapon anyways; one hit, one kill.


Also, I noticed I had almost nobody from GitP on my friends list so I sent a some /f requests around. I might've missed someone, don't be afraid to hit me back.

Not a bad idea, actually. I could go for that.

Speaking of Sorties, how's everyone's luck going?
I have one Dera bit. ONE. It's all I want out of this thing, and progress is going kind of awful. I am sitting on a few lenses, though, which is kind of nice.

I have had excellent luck for myself, though I'm finding Sorties highlighting issues that I wasn't aware of before, being more of a solo player. Enemy scaling is terrible in this game.
I have enough lenses that I've put one on my Paris Prime, so I hope this does better in some Sorties, but the 90-100 enemies are very annoying to me.

Do you need a Blueprint? I have one, if you want it.

So, Lenses. I've gotten 3 from sorties so far (2 Vazarin and 1 Unairu). I was wondering if anyone here had any Unairu that they'd take a Vazarin for. Trying to make a greater Unairu Lens.

I will keep Unairu ones in the future that I get if that would be useful for you. I'm currently trading any lenses that I get for Naramon ones so I can upgrade all of my favourite equipment. (I don't want to farm focus. Maybe I'm lazy, but I'd rather let it just accumulate.)
...this will take some time...
I've also managed to sell off some weapon parts, though it seems demand has fallen for some of them significantly.

I'd like something like this too. I like the weapon variety in this game, so different mechanics would be welcome!

Thank you for the friend request. ^.^

I'm 200 Plat away from getting the Hunlow bundle.

Which aside from war gives me so some unique cosmetics, so I find it appealing to grind up for it.


As a result, I'm heavily inclined to selling all of the junk I've been collecting.

Is there anything you guys want to buy?

I've got Prismatic weapons.
Moon vault mods for 5 Plat each except for Speed which I don't have.
Lots of prime junk, including items currently in the prime vault
Some mods like copies of defiled snapdragon.

It's mostly the armor scaling. Non-armored enemies are manageable even at massive levels, but armored enemies without liberal application of 4 Corrosive Projections tend to reach the stratosphere in terms of durability fairly soon after level 100 (this is because of the classic problem of armor being a multiplier while the other health types scale additively; thus the quadratic scaling of armor + health vastly outpaces the other types of defensive scaling making armored enemies orders of magnitude more durable).

This is actually one of the primary limiting factors in long T4S solo runs; past 60 mins, enemy levels begin to get so high that killing the armored ones is too slow to maintain life support. Of course, some things such as Abating Link and Bladestorm can bypass these issues somewhat, and there's always the stacking of Corrosive Procs but that gets rather slow.

I'd be on board with buying the drifts. I have Power and Coaction Drift (too bad you lack Speed, that's one I really want), I could use the other 5. Given the lack of Speed, that'd give us 4 to trade. I probably won't have the time to get them manually any time soon so getting a bunch in one trade would make my life a lot easier.

Sweet. When do you want to set up a meet up?

I'm going to be online for much of tommorrow. Right now, it's around 8PM Central time for me, in case we need to adjust for timezones.


Oh and if you have Mag, Corpus get EASIER once the Shield scaling starts overtaking the health scaling.

You're gonna want atleast one Corrosive Projection for Grineer though, especially if the Sortie is Augmented Armor.

[IZ42]

Finally got all the parts for valkyr. Took 20+ tries, a couple threats to RNGesus, and possibly a blood sacrifice but I'm now building Valkitty.

[IFenrys]

Well, the Polycount winners have been announced. I don't really care about the helmets (though the lack of the Talos Volt helmet kinda makes me sad), but I am SO DISAPPOINTED in the choices of weapon skins. No Orthos or Kronen skins (especially aggravated about the latter, there were some really good submissions), and THREE Infested themed skins as the winners for the Galatine, Skana, and Jat Kittag.

Really, DE? Could we have gotten a little variety here? I actually like the Noxious Jat Kittag, but the Infested Skana is basically the Mire, and the Claymire Galatine is... just not very good. I was ready to shell out on the Grineer Galatine on Day 1, and even considering that I liked the Noxious Jat Kittag, there were better skins (the one modeled on a Grineer head comes to mind).

We could have done so much BETTER here, guys.

[Leon]

Salty much over some cosmetics that are largely not that good overall (hell even the recent "official" skins have been bad, last good one was Saryn) Two of the Mag helms look ok but the "anthro" one is terrible. Could not care less about the rest of the stuff as i have better skins existing for all of the things in those category or prefer the normal skin.

That's the point, though; there WAS good stuff in there, items I would have gladly paid money for. DE instead selected some of the least appealing skins. Plus, I kind of HATE the Galatine's default skin, and would have gladly paid for the Grineer version as a replacement. That thing looked GREAT. But, no, DE decided the crappy 2 handed Mire would go up for sale instead.

EDIT: Also, Saryn was the second-most recent official skin (third if you count the currently unreleased Loki skin). So, the Palatine is the only crap one to have come out recently. Not a bad record, and I'm actually fond of the Palatine stuff, so that doesn't even stand against them to me.

[Eldariel]

Sweet. When do you want to set up a meet up?

We can try Wednesday. I live in EET timezone (+2 UTC) so earlier times for you are probably the only possible ones for me. Right now I'm kinda occupied by a 500page book I have to read for tomorrow, so I'm unlike to be online before tomorrow; let's try and arrange something then.

I'm... eight hours behind you, so, uh what time your time you feel is best then?

I still don't have Rage.
Do you have a spare?

That said, it seems like our timezones don't match up very well at all.

Ugh, now you mention it, yeah. The past two days' Sorties enemies haven't been near as annoying.

Your opinions on what looks good doesn't need to mesh with what DE likes, im sure people will buy them none the less. I have a friend who bought the Syndanna from the first wave and while i dont like its looks he loves it

Valkyrs Skin is not that good and i regret buying it. Don't really like Loki (not even sure how long i'll keep Loki prime since i have Ivara now and she does stealth better than loki) so its forth coming skin i wont be guying anyway but looks bad

[IZ42]

...

Pissed at DE now.

Playing the DSD (Seimeni) at Ceres, right under Draco and stalky boy shows up. Excited since I have a strong group, we proceed to kill him. His drop get's stuck in an accessible, yet not entirely practical area. No biggie. Except he shows up at wave 5, and I don't manage to get the drop, whatever it was, before the timer kicks in. I choose to stay so I can get the drop, and my group extracts. No biggie. I can handle some stupid infested, I have a Tonkor. Host Migration kicks in, and when I spawn back in, not only is the Stalker Drop kcufing GONE, but mobs aren't spawning, so I had to abort the mission, depriving myself of my primary intent to be there, which is the sweet, sweet credits. Goddammit DE.

So not only did I miss one of the rarest enemies and a most likely nice item, I lose out on +20k credits and any other drops.

[Krade]

I know I've already complained about the sortie drop table, but JEEZ.

So far I've gotten 2 EACH of the Karak Barrel, Reciever, and Stock, and today a second of the only Dera part I already got.

So hey, anyone want a Dera Barrel or Karak part in exchange for any of the other Dera parts?

At least you haven't ONLY gotten worthless lenses. RNG absolutely hates me.

How worthless?

Because you can sell those for a,profit or alot them in all your gear.

I've only gotten vazarin lenses. I think I also got some fusion cores. Once.

[IFenrys]

OH WOW

So, Keledrath got the second of the two Dera Vandal bits I didn't have yesterday, and gave them to me. I just pulled my Dera Vandal off of the workbench, made entirely of parts given to me by other people. What do I get today from the Sortie?

DERA VANDAL BARREL.

LITERALLY THE FIRST DERA VANDAL PIECE I'VE GOTTEN FROM A SORTIE.

I'M NOW GETTING DERA PARTS AFTER I'VE BUILT THE DAMN THING.

WHAT THE HELL?

[Vhaidara]

I'll take it if you don't want it

[IFenrys]

I'll take it if you don't want it

Pretty sure you already have a Dera Vandal Barrel, man :/

If you don't, sure, take it. I don't need it.

[Almarck]

So, now we know why Nehzia is so seemingly easy to obtain. She's a Sortie reward.

...wonderful. By the way, shall we trade?

EDIT: Thanks!

[Almarck]

UGH!

Why do Grineer Spy sorties have to be so damn ridiculously hard. One wrong move and you lose flatout

[Eldariel]

If you want it easy, just walk through 'em with Loki. They have no stealth detectors and you can switch teleport through the magnetic barriers with Decoy if need be.

[IZ42]

I need more Orokin Catalysts, but I haven't seen any alerts that drop them recently, so my Soma Prime is stuck without multishot. I also need to get punch through to make it actually good for damag against realistically anything.

One good trick is farming prime parts complete with some trading, get prime sets and sell those. This'll get you enough platinum to fund your potato use. I find the alerts too rare to rely on, and they're only 20 plat each.

Think of it this way: "At least I won't need to farm for Neural Sensors for a long, long time."

Even the invasions only rarely have taters, which sucks, but I guess farming prime parts might work. I have a couple (mostly junk) sitting around that I was gonna turn to ducats, but I might have some parts of value. I'd have to check.

EDIT: Thanks DE. Game froze with 45 seconds left on the Energy Siphon Alert timer, while I was in the mission.
