    Got one, won't let me go into the dojo solo.

    If it works the same way as on PC, your clan leader/admins might have to enable the "host" role for the default Initiate rank. That lets you host the dojo!

    DE stole my argon crystals. I had like 20 of them last night. Now I have zero.

    At least I only need a single one to upgrade my Katana once it hits 30


    My favorite stance so far is Iron Phoenix with my Dakra prime. There is a lot of great forward motion with the combos. You can just flow from enemy to enemy. The final strike of the basic combo is a forward lunging stab that does a ton of piercing damage. The last strike of the secondary combo appears to be an AOE burst of your most prominent elemental damage, or at least that is what it looks like when you use the heat sword. I need to experiment with different elemental types on my Dakra Prime to make sure....but I can't bring myself to remove the blast damage because it makes the weapon look so gorgeous.

    What happened? I played this game today after half a year break, and apparently it is now even more easy than it was before. What's with the Grineer/Corpus fighting for you?

    You played invasion, the side you play for give you rewards for playing x amount of rounds for them and the side that wins gets the planet.

    Sounds about right. It just took me two-three days of grinding to get it.

    So I guess throwing weapons, like the Glaive, Glaive Prime, and Kestrel will explode if you use Power Throw.

    Two-three days, you are yet young when it comes to the grind game. I remember a time when the parts of this so called Ember would not drop for weeks. That my friend was true pain!

    And on another note I really hope they buff the droprates on a few of those mods, specialy those who drop from rare enemies!

    I really couldn't care less about the new melee/stances, and this seems to be good for my mental health.

    You can still quick melee while having another weapon (or the codex scanner!) equipped, but to access combos and channeling you have to equip your melee weapon, yes.

    Isn't it stupid? I mean, I was mainly using melee because it was easy - just hold F and strike, but now I don't really see much point in doing it because I can just kill enemies with ranged weapons for the time it takes to swap to melee.

    Bit of truth to that. Farming with pugs is a mixed bag full of gems and rotten poo. Forcing myself to blindly grab a handful of that gets quite frustrating. Just bugs me that the only melee weapons I have to level required stances I didn't have.

    If your still missing hydroid and on around 1900 EST give me a shout. Still need an codex pics on those guys and not burned out on nekros, again, yet.

    Stupid? you still have all you need from melee 1.0 minus charge attacks by pressing E(or whatever melee is on) and by holding F(or whatever wep switching is on) you can pull out a melee wep that byfar challenges even soma on dps. Like the new melee with Loki spamming E kills mostly everything going full melee mode leaves nothing standing.

    And right now I do agree that once every now and then I concider missing charge attacks but then I use this new awesome thing channeling and wolla who needs charge attacks!

    I don't think I got anywhere here but still melee 2.0 is awesome people just need to get used to it! =)

    We had a really fruitful run of Earth survivals last night. 3 or 4 stances including Hammer & 1H Sword. Then the Grinyu Force showed up.

    Um, you're going for Tranquil Weave? The notes I saw indicated it drops off Frontier and Arid Butchers. I don't think you can find those on Earth. Everyone seems to be grinding on Phobos for it.

    Well, I may wander over to Earth, I haven't had much luck on Phobos, though I've only ran it a few times.

    Still haven't really tried out Melee 2.0 because I can't find a stance mod for a weapon I'm actually trying to level.

    On that note, I really can't wait until they introduce the talked-about Focus mechanic... finally a good reason to say "Fuck leveling up that crappy shit! I'mma take ma good stuff!" and go on accruing focus points with all rank 30 gear. They better have some harder missions out by then! ;)

    That would be awesome Kashaar, would love to take the dust of Dread vs some real high level stuff that is not 40min+ survival or defense.
    Would be super cool if they added some kind of mission in the void or on derelicts where you could find/steal orokin tec to have in the dojo (orokin reactor tec for better reactors etc?) and this type of stuff should be super hard being a real effort even for lvl 60+ formas... But hey one can dream =P

    Congrats, it's been around 10 strait hours of fail here. Including a couple double nekros runs. Sounds like I'm still on the low side from what others have said as well.

    Not pugging is hardly an option if you want to do more then solo. Maybe once chat gets fixed/merged it will change.

    The big problem is its a team based game with no visible advantage to running as a group. So people go running off to solo stuff. Maybe if there was a visual indicator for shared experience range, or loot drops required being in that range as well.

    Ughh, trying to level my Nikana so that I can build the dragon Nikana....I absolutely abhor this thing. I can't wait to get them both to 30 so that I can toss this on the trophy rack to collect dust.

    It can't copter worth a damn and I rank it as one of the ugliest melee weapons because of how it clips into everything. I'll probably only pull it out for marathon survival/defense missions as an experience point gathering stick. I just don't understand the hype surrounding this thing. It just seems as highly overrated as IRL katanas.

    edit:
    That came out a bit more negative than intended. I just can't believe the contrast of enjoyment that I've had with melee 2.0. Slicing and dicing enemies with the dakra prime, my twin zorens, and the nami skyla or grand-slamming enemies with the Bo is some of the most fun that I've had in warframe in awhile....and yet the Nikana is pure anathema to me.

    I was kinda surprised the default attacks didn't follow the basic kendo moves. That movie style draw-swing-sheath thing looks kinda silly to me. With fencing and kendo being about the only long blade stuff commonly taught (at least in my region of us) was expecting the scripted attack moments to be better done.
