And if that's not super appealing, wait for an affinity booster to drop from a daily box or something to help speed things up.
It's not 'zomg fast' like some standard frame maps, but it's a hell of a lot faster than it used to be. At release... oh god, it was like watching paint dry.

So I decided to take a look at the plague zaw grips because the other day a couple people in alliance chat were wondering if there was a stat difference from them and the standard grips, or if it was just fashion, and I was also curious about it. From what I can tell there actually is a stat difference. The plague grips seem to be an in-between sort of deal when compared to the standard grips. The one-handed grip is described as fast but weak, and this seems to hold true, but it's not the same as the Peye, the standard fast but weak one-handed grip, as the plague one is slightly slower and slightly stronger while still being faster and weaker than the neutral one-handed grip. Same deal for the two-handed grip, as it's described as being slow but strong, and is indeed slower and stronger than the Jayap grip, but not as much as the Kroostra.
So I guess in the end you'd use them if you wanted something slow-but-strong or fast-but-weak, but you don't want it to be as extreme as the normal ones are.
The launchers are stupid cheap, doesn't seem like that'll be a problem.
Y'know what I do think is annoying with plains archwinging though? There's a bunch of attacks that just instantly knock you out of your archwing so it's really hard to actually engage enemies in one.
The launchers aren't super expensive, but if nothing else the Oil seems like the sticking point.
Is it a huge deal to take like 10 minutes, hop into the plains, do a little fishing, and jet to do some crafting?
Not really, but it's needless busywork all the same. I suppose if I were to actually craft some more Zaws or Gara or whatever I might be drowning in fish oil, but as I haven't, that's my short supply item that isn't easily picked up while running around doing other missions. Even mining can be slowly picked up while roaming from place to place, or taking a second while at a defense objective at a mine, but that's my take on it. Not a crime against gaming or humanity, but I would've preferred they go a different way. Hell, make a version that's more expensive but has infinite charges, or can be bought with faction like the Scanner upgrade (another item with a pittance required for upkeep and yet they allowed for not having to worry about it eventually). That precedent exists, though I respect that it's something of an exception compared to the dozens of other gear with uses to keep us fiddling with one thing or another (Polymer, I'm looking at you, at least before I went on a rampage and snagged a simply absurd amount of it).

what's annoying is that in between when i last played the game they fucked with the way archwing controls
whether or not you can brake on the Plains of Eidolon is a coin toss and it feels like a worse, less controllable experience even in archwing maps
if there is room in the PC clan could i get an invite? was in before but hadn't been on in a long time because of a deployment so i got kicked; in game name Formalhoute
So the event.
What do I do and how long does it take.
Also do I need to do War Within first
You run the Plague Star bounty from konzu in cetus, how long it takes depends on how good a group you have and if you slap in any of the 'I want to fight a lephantis reskin' consumables during the stage where you can do that.
WW is not required.
It was that somehow, from within the derelict-horror, they had learned a way to see inside an ugly, broken thing... And take away its pain.

This.
A foot patrol of three level 10 Grineer instantly shot down my level 28 Odonata Prime while Energy Shell was active.
I’ve got 30 or so air to ground kills to get for the trophy, then I’m saving the rest of my launcher charges for when DE makes Sky Archwing actually useful.

That's another reason why I like sniping with the archwing. I can engage from so far away that they never shoot their rockets at me to knock me out of the sky. Even if they do fire them at me, I'm so far away that I can shoot the rockets out of the air before they reach me.

A consumable would be cool. In the meantime, you might know, but for the benefit of anyone reading this, Primed Regen is worth grabbing if you see it come back around in Baro’s rotation. Two to three revives of your sentinel, once it’s leveled.

Dang, saw an Ember just melt the Lephantis knock offs in Plague Star down in about three seconds earlier by stacking four Fire Blasts one on top of another.
I thought you meant you were buying individual Vauban pieces and was trying not to say "damn, you got fuuuuucked", but 60 is substantially under the going Marketplace rate for a full set, so nicely done.
Re-reading over your post, I can see where the misunderstanding arose. :-P
I blame myself for not being clear. Yeah, I was prowling and just looking for full Vauban sets for 60p on the PS4. Found three so far and used one for myself, but have slacked off since. Baro's recent wares weren't super impressive, so I am good at the moment with what I've netted. That and still plenty of time to grind relics before his next visit anyways.
I still am going to try your method, though, if I can mentally recover from accidentally finishing a build early in my foundry. Platinum, wasted. I felt sick afterwards. It's what I get for not paying attention.

I am scribbling this down. Ember Prime is so much fun on the Plains thus far.
I spend a ton of time running akkad over and over again because I like leveling things.
Is it weird? Yeah but fun for me.
Is that the Infested defense in the small area? Buddy of mine dragged me there for the first time. He told me to bring Nekros, didn't tell me anything else. He was Ivara and he put dashwires over the defense point. We just hung up there on the wires with Despoil running murdering. Was boring, but effective.

Primed Regen was on sale this past weekend! (on PC)
First they came for the Muslims, and we said NOT TODAY, MOTHERFUCKERS
Based on a recommendation, I just picked this up on PC over the weekend. Spent almost as much time reading guides and watching videos to figure out what is going on as I did playing. Not sure that I will binge-play this, but it seems like it will be a lot of fun to pop in and play a few missions.
Anyway, my Excalibur is about halfway through Venus. I was a little disappointed yesterday when I reached the XP needed for mastery rank 2 and it told me I needed to wait 5 hours. I was hoping to start building a new gun. I think Boltor was the recommendation I saw on a video.
Hints and tips for super noobs are always welcome.
Oh, Regen and Primed Regen help, but when you're getting bombard napalm spammed and that uh... mortar thing it's like boop-ba-doop. Same as normal (talking lvl 30+ mobs)
There's just a point where being fixed directly above your shoulder is probably not a good thing. If only we could direct our sentinels to stop following or resume following. That'd be
awesome.
Trying to figure out where I can slide uninterrupted for 500m. I've been able to go ~250m before hitting a rock.
Was also able to snag Piercing Caliber for 100p last night. Console is up to 75% before Razorback returns, so that's kind of a steal.

Not sure when/where it happened, but Rage dropped in during Plague Start runs last night, and I am super excited. I've got a Inaros waiting with baited breath.

I've seen enough hosts leave and being forced to transition that I'd just assumed it was treated like any other mission.
Cetus exists like the relays. The Plains themselves still rely on players to host.

Last night was a pretty good night. I finished the Inaros quest. I had to replay the last mission 3 times though. That boss seems oddly placed. It's a 20-25 mission, and I was using my Braton. Everything I faced in the mission literally died in 1 bullet. Then the boss comes along and is just a complete bullet sponge. I ended up running out of ammo on both my primary and secondary and had to engage in melee, which isn't great considering he could kill me in like 2 hits in melee.
Anyways, on my third attempt I brought my Opticor and killed him in 3 shots.
But even better than this, after a run of like 30 or 40 goes trying to farm up the pieces of Nidus and not finding a single piece, I somehow got all 3 pieces over a course of 5 attempts. So he's baking right now along with Inaros. Those are the two frames I feel I've had my eyes on the longest. Once I get them leveled and modded I can focus more on weapons and mods.
I was the beneficiary of a bug last night that allowed a Riven to unlock. It was a 'complete a 30+ defense where no damage happens to the pod' mission. A ton of damage happened to the pod, but it still unlocked at the end. It's for the Mutalist Quanta, which seems like a neat weapon, so I'm going to start trying to build that tonight.
When you re-roll, does the weapon it’s for get re-rolled too? Because that riven was for the Boltor, and I don’t really think there’s a possible riven that will get me to return to the Boltor.

No, the weapon remains constant. You also get to choose whether to keep the original roll or keep the new roll.

one of my rivens requires me to win a 30 minute defense without killing a single enemy
Are you sure you don't mean Level 30 survival without killing? IIRC none of the rivens require a specific time or # of waves, only start level req and if it's actually defense... you need to report that, because that's impossible as waves don't end until everything dies.
Anyway, it's easier than it sounds. Take Ivara or Loki, pick a Grineer map and stay stealthed the whole time, opening every locker and canister you can find for life support and energy.
