It’s still possible to avoid the worst of it. There’s still good games that don’t do many, or in some great cases any, of the shite shown as negatives for these games. It’s generally Indi games that avoid these practices while the so-called ‘Triple-A’ publishers shovel out shit laced with price-gouging tactics and expect us to be thankful for it.

Well said. Things will improve when the current dystopia is ash and bad memories.

Honestly, argumentation like this is part of my understanding of why the Reich Wing is so opposed to education. Baseless assertion works a hell of a lot better on people who haven’t been trained to look for and expect sources and evidence.

Just got the Alternox and I can see what you mean, it’s fun a fun gun with two very nice modes and just enough dynamic action to make skillful shots feel really good.

Fair enough, I didn’t know that. For me I have one of my warframe slots reserved for Ivara just in case I ever have to do another Spy.

Limbo can’t cross the beams without being detected. However Ivara can if you get her special augment for her invisibility power. Unfortunately you get Ivara’s pieces from doing Spy missions without the data-destruction timer being activated for any of the three vaults.

Yeah, understanding how mods interact gets progressively more important as you go. I can explain how to make your weapons better, at least, quickly:

Each ‘category’ of damage is multiplicative to other categories while all mods within a category are additive to each-other. The categories are Base (ex Serration), Elemental (ex Stormbringer), Multi-Shot (ex Split Chamber), Critical (ex Point Strike & Vital Sense), and Faction (ex Bane of Grineer).

So, you could get the Arsenal to show you high numbers slapping all your elemental mods on a gun but it won’t be as effective as using 1-2 of each category. So, make the combo element that hurts whichever faction you’re fighting and use the appropriate Bane mod and you should cut through Sedna like you’re back on Earth.

But there’s more; There’s several types of special mods that are only gotten from a few places:

• Nightmare Mods: They give two positive effects. Nightmare mods tend to cost less mod cap and give less of the effect but getting two effects from one mod tends to be worthwhile (so long as both effects are good). They’re only acquired from Nightmare Mode Alerts that show up in places you’ve already unlocked.
• Corrupted Mods: Give a positive effect and a negative effect. The positive effect tends to be larger than you could get on a normal mod when maxxed out and for some weapons or warframes the negative has no or almost no impact (ex less fire rate on a gun with 1 shot magazine, you reload rather than be slowed by fire rate). You get these buy opening the Dragon Vaults on Deimos missions which will require Dragon Keys.
• Galvanized Mods: Give a positive effect and a conditional positive effect (ex more crit chance for a few seconds after getting a headshot) these are extremely powerful mods but you can only get them from the Arbitration shop on relays, which uses Vitus Essence from the Arbitration gamemode as it’s currency. You need to do every node on the star chart to unlock it.

You can use these various special mods to squeeze even more power out of your gear, but you’ll likely need Forma to make best use of it all. And Orokin Catalysts.

Haven’t done them all yet… honestly I haven’t even finished my first K-Drive yet. Really not a fan of hoverboarding about. Still, I’ll see what I can do about the other modulars.

Thanks, hadn’t considered buying with plat but it makes sense. I use to sell Rivens prior to my last hiatus, and I’ve got a pretty nice stock of arcanes I’m never going to use too.

I thought about as much but it helps to hear somebody else say it seeing my situation. I’ve been trying to get the Alternox & Sibear and when either gets frustrating taking a break to crack relics. I’ve been poking at Liches every now-and-then as well. Honestly, it’s the Forma cost of getting all the MR out of them that’s my biggest stopping point on that, not the Liches themselves.

Really helps to hear I’m more or less on the right track, thanks!

I’ve been at it a few years myself as well. 4.4k hours on Steam. It took a few more screenshots than I thought it would but I’ve updated the main-body of the post with the whole log of everything I haven’t mastered. Thanks for taking the time to help, I really appreciate it.

Depending on the mission type presence of a Limbo is one of few things that’s cause for me to drop from a mission. Group-unfriendly builds are just trolling.

Sure, that’d work. Launch Limbo was a mess. By launch I’d probably mastered half of all non-prime warframes and with Limbo I had the persistent issue of being unable to so much as 1v1 a basic Grineer marine. Limbo would just die in as many shots as it’d take to kill an IRL human.

Specifically going through problems with him at launch and why they either no longer apply or how you can now counter them. I struggled through wringing MR from the 'frame when he was new and his Prime is currently slated for after Excalibur Prime for getting the MR from that.

Yeah, some more game modes which incentivize splitting up between the RJ and some Archwing fliers would be neat.

You may want to adjust their assigned roles. Mine never try to fly the ship because they’re all assigned to other tasks.

Interesting. Mind sharing your build? I went with mine because I like Onslaught Matrix as my aura and found just the right pairing of mods to allow me to have functionally infinite shields so long as I’m not face-tanking a shipkiller platform.

Same. It’d be so cool if they brought the Jordas Golem back as a Railjack Boss. Heck, add it’s node in Pluto Proxima and give us a little story about us not killing it and now it’s about to cause a major outbreak.

Would be even better if Parvos was our ally for the operation/quest for his own selfish reasons. So far he’s only been an enemy in spite of comments from him that he’d like to work with us (presumably us working for him tho). For whatever reason he wants Pluto not-infested and decided to hire the best there is for doing just that.

Oh! Just thought of the perfect thing: He’s hired us in part to study the Railjack. He’s offering Railjack parts, or at least parts compatible with Railjacks, for our assistance while he’s using data collected on us to bootleg our boats.

Yeah, I don’t have the Nautilus either. I do really love how customizable the Railjacks are, I don’t believe I’ve ever been in two that flew quite the same.

Mine’s built for keeping the shields up and ignoring enemy shields, including the directional ones.

Thanks, I’ll go rewatch them. Dunno why but I had put two & two together that gen. building advice still works.
