After being downed in a mission yesterday, I was revived by a mysterious NPC named "devotee". They were dressed in white and carrying some kind of green box.
Did I just get forcefully recruited into an infestation cult?
aaaaand that is why I'm not doing this new Nightwave series. At all. See you when Empyrean comes out.
You don't have to participate, if you get downed in a mission I guess they have a chance of showing up, just like the Wolf or his minions did in the last set.
Let me clarify, then: not playing at all.
Space cancer delenda est.
For what its worth, Tenno are immune to it - it can try and destroy you but it can't infect you.
Commander Zoom has made their aversion to the infested pretty clear before, several times. No reason to try and convince them otherwise (or to give them shit about it like I have in the past).
I don't understand why. The infestation is the only life left worthy of the solar system.
Hey how do i actually start syndicate stuff? I've picked one, but they don't actually have any missions for me.
Put their sigil on (regalia in Warframe appearance options) and play the game. Affinity gained also provides rep with the chosen syndicate. You don't get missions until positive rep ranks.
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.

At least the Devotee mission invasions are a lot less annoying than The Wolf.

Look at them, they come to this place when they know they are not worthy.
Now that I've got the hang of the fishing and mining mini-games, and with spoiler mode combat likely to be more important than ever with the upcoming New War quest, I've started putting some serious consideration into what kind of amp I want to use as my default.
I've already built a 115 amp, but I only chose this components on the incorrect assumption that spoiler mode powers and amp ammunition were still drawing energy from a shared pool, so I was prioritizing ammo economy above all else. Boy was I embarrassed when I learned that I had wasted so much time on a blunder! :redface:
When choosing a default loadout for my warframe, there are all kinds of external factors that make the decision easier. For example, I look for weapons that have syndicate effects that restore energy, weapons that play well with the Growing Power aura mod that I like using, weapons that can quickly cripple enemies with multiple status effects, etc.
But there are no syndicate amps, aura mods don't affect spoiler mode, and amps only have one damage type, void. As I learned the hard way, spoiler mode powers and amp ammunition are divorced from each other. So there's really nothing to consider when choosing an amp except how the amp itself performs. It all comes down to personal preference.
But it's made me realize that it's been so long since Warframe has asked me to choose a weapon based solely on personal preference, that I don't remember what my personal preference even is.
I haven't felt like this since I first started playing, and my weapon options were severely limited by mastery rank. I recognize all the basic archetypes. Sniper rifle, machine gun, shot gun, flamethrower, laser beam, etc. And I know I used to prefer some of those over others, back when I used to play other games and Warframe hadn't yet consumed my life. But the way I normally play Warframe has conditioned me to think of weapons solely as tools I can use to set up combos with other game systems, and not as a game system unto itself.
Anyway, right now I'm leaning toward either a 653 or a 663. I'm not certain how annoying the Exard Scaffold's full ammo drain with every shot is actually going to be in practice.

Amps can equip arcanes though, and that effects how they work.
You can change the damage type from void to elemental using arcanes, though I don't know if that's actually useful?
The one that I'm using is you get more crit damage from crits, so I built a crit amp to synergize with that.
You get one that does more damage on a headshot which probably works well with the more accurate amps but I can't aim so I avoid using it.
One or two on kill effect ones, but since my main amp use is Eidolons I skipped those.
And there are others but that's off the top of my head.

I thought i was starting to get a handle on this game but i barely understood any of these posts.
Is there a way to judge your power level compared to the enemy? I wandered into the north zone in Vallis thinking i might attempt a fissure and the little baby coolant spider barely took any damage from my vectis. I couldn't outpace its field regen.
Are weapons etc that require a higher mastery level presumably better across the board? I found a sword blueprint (Chronus) off the Vor assassination mission on mercury, and was excited, but after building it, out seems to be almost identical to my starting Skana, except slightly faster, and the damage type balance was shifted.
Will say I'm having a blast throwing fire damage on my sword and just sprinting around doing slide attacks to kill dudes at their ankles. I found a mod last night that gives fire damage and status chance which is sweet. Infestation defense missions consist of me standing on the payload and just swinging away. I way prefer them to grineer who actually hide and make me come find them.

So, you can be pledged to more than one Syndicate at a time, right? I joined Steel Meridian and noticed that I was gaining Red Veil rep, too, so I popped over and spoke to the T-800 who runs their shop and signed up as well - that doesn't override my membership in SM, does it?
I've been in and out of WF for ages and I finally found a Kubrow Egg last night. Turns out you have to smash the dens - I was convinced I needed to use the codex scanner to find them. Don't I feel silly! Anyway, can I keep smashing dens for more eggs, or is it a one-time thing?
Also: I know they are a rare drop, but what are good Earth nodes to get a couple of neurodes? I need two more to build a Hek.

Yes, you can be "pledged" to more than one Syndicate at a time. All you need to do is get the sigils for each one before you go negative with the faction(s). Reaaaaaaaaaally wish they ditched or minimized the faction penalties so that it wasn't a micromanaging nightmare to get positive/neutral with all of them...

Except that (IMO) that is exactly the intent and design. It's possible, but it's clearly not what DE wanted.
Then the syndicates should not be used in quests where they would ally with you at all, or their dialogue should reflect that. I've been hated by Steel Meridian forever, why would they talk to me about defectors when there are other Tenno that may be friendly to them? The entire Octavia's Anthem quest doesn't make narrative sense in this context either, among others.
Their original intent doesn't match with the narrative.

Oh, i didn't realize that. So for the ones I'm already negative with I'll have to use turnins to get back to neutral?
No, all you have to do is wear their symbol and do missions, you will eventually get back in their good graces. Just remember to check standing so you can do the upgrades so that the excess XP isn't wasted.
Edit: Regular missions, not syndicate missions. Also avoid doing syndicate missions for factions that are opposed to the one you are trying to build back up.
You can max out rep with four of the six syndicates with little effort. You level them in pairs, picking the ones that aren't hostile to each other. There's a chart that breaks everything down, but it basically just boils down to leveling one up and using the ally xp to level a second, doing that again with a second pair but specifically picking the faction that won't harm the first pair.
The big thing to keep in mind is that right now, because you have to physically equip the syndicate sigil on your warframe, you need to do it for each and every frame you want to use. You don't want to lose progress because you forgot which frames had which sigils on them. So what I do for syncicate stuff is to decide ahead of time which syncicate I want to level, then just spend the time to go through every frame and update sigils.

Right, but didn't TD say you can't get pledge and get the sigil if you were already negative? I went in with the assumption that you could only pledge 1 so I'm negative with a couple already and have no sigil for them.

This may have been changed, I know before you had to get the sigils before you went enemies with them.
Basically, you have/had to gain enough faction to get to neutral before you could buy the sigil (this is/was done through alternate factions).
edit: Check your sigils, Tofy. Reading around it sounds like you should have gotten sigils for all the factions and then you would just equip the one you want.

So yeah, I got shitfaced last night and apparently bought the Prime Access pack. I'd forgotten about it until today when I got on and had all the new stuff :rotate:
Welp, I've hit the Cyrotic bottleneck. what's the fastest way to farm that shit?
Get a resource booster and run extraction missions on Earth, I believe.
edit: Tikal looks like a good node, since the infested are easy to fight and it also has boosted resources on top of any boosters you might have. Everest has more people on it though so you'd get groups more often, and it's lower level so that might be the better option

I believe that you can buy a sigil no matter how much the syndicate hates you, this is probably a more recent change but I'm almost positive I bought one from a faction I was at -44,000 rep with when I was switching from left to right syndicates months ago.

To clarify, then: I believe there was a clear intent as to how the Syndicate rep system was supposed to work. The amount of effort required to "swim upstream" against that intent only reinforces that, IMO.
Whether that gameplay matches up with the story (and I concede that it does not) is, still IMO, not relevant to a discussion of the mechanics or system design. Don't make me link to TV Tropes.

I just do 3 syndicates. So much easier and no need to constantly swap sigils and keep an eye on rep gains/drops. It just manages themselves.
If you need anything from the other syndicates just ask in guild, people will be willing to trade for the opposite syndicate rewards or just give it to you for free depending on how long they've played.
Once I fixed the syndicates to be the 3/3 balance with one at neutral to keep 3 factions instead of 4 hostile, I stopped gaining rep with them. I only bother with syndicate stuff when I need to spend the credits and then I don't dip low enough to go beyond a day of grinding to cap out again.
But syndicate progression has to be horrible for low MR players.

Put their sigil on (regalia in Warframe appearance options) and play the game. Affinity gained also provides rep with the chosen syndicate. You don't get missions until positive rep ranks.

Have you put on a sigil for the Syndicate you want to rep?
You have to go into each frame's appearance, and under Regalia, I think, you put on either a front or back sigil
Then you gain rep automatically as you play, up to your daily cap

Is there a way to judge your power level compared to the enemy? I wandered into the north zone in Vallis thinking i might attempt a fissure and the little baby coolant spider barely took any damage from my vectis. I couldn't outpace its field regen.
Are weapons etc that require a higher mastery level presumably better across the board? I found a sword blueprint (Chronus) off the Vor assassination mission on mercury, and was excited, but after building it, out seems to be almost identical to my starting Skana, except slightly faster, and the damage type balance was shifted.
Will say I'm having a blast throwing fire damage on my sword and just sprinting around doing slide attacks to kill dudes at their ankles. I found a mod last night that gives fire damage and status chance which is sweet. Infestation defense missions consist of me standing on the payload and just swinging away. I way prefer them to grineer who actually hide and make me come find them.
Get a Jat Kittag and then you can spam slam attacks and send the infested flying while singing French nursery rhymes because they just go so well together.
So, you can be pledged to more than one Syndicate at a time, right? I joined Steel Meridian and noticed that I was gaining Red Veil rep, too, so I popped over and spoke to the T-800 who runs their shop and signed up as well - that doesn't override my membership in SM, does it?
I've been in and out of WF for ages and I finally found a Kubrow Egg last night. Turns out you have to smash the dens - I was convinced I needed to use the codex scanner to find them. Don't I feel silly! Anyway, can I keep smashing dens for more eggs, or is it a one-time thing?
Also: I know they are a rare drop, but what are good Earth nodes to get a couple of neurodes? I need two more to build a Hek.

Then the syndicates should not be used in quests where they would ally with you at all, or their dialogue should reflect that. I've been hated by Steel Meridian forever, why would they talk to me about defectors when there are other Tenno that may be friendly to them? The entire Octavia's Anthem quest doesn't make narrative sense in this context either, among others.
Their original intent doesn't match with the narrative.

Tsundre-Syndicates are bad.
No, all you have to do is wear their symbol and do missions, you will eventually get back in their good graces. Just remember to check standing so you can do the upgrades so that the excess XP isn't wasted.
Edit: Regular missions, not syndicate missions. Also avoid doing syndicate missions for factions that are opposed to the one you are trying to build back up.
The big thing to keep in mind is that right now, because you have to physically equip the syndicate sigil on your warframe, you need to do it for each and every frame you want to use. You don't want to lose progress because you forgot which frames had which sigils on them. So what I do for syncicate stuff is to decide ahead of time which syncicate I want to level, then just spend the time to go through every frame and update sigils.
Right, but didn't TD say you can't get pledge and get the sigil if you were already negative? I went in with the assumption that you could only pledge 1 so I'm negative with a couple already and have no sigil for them.
This may have been changed, I know before you had to get the sigils before you went enemies with them.
Basically, you have/had to gain enough faction to get to neutral before you could buy the sigil (this is/was done through alternate factions).
edit: Check your sigils, Tofy. Reading around it sounds like you should have gotten sigils for all the factions and then you would just equip the one you want.

Get a resource booster and run extraction missions on Earth, I believe.
edit: Tikal looks like a good node, since the infested are easy to fight and it also has boosted resources on top of any boosters you might have. Everest has more people on it though so you'd get groups more often, and it's lower level so that might be the better option
The new Wukong changes are very nice at least.
I believe that you can buy a sigil no matter how much the syndicate hates you, this is probably a more recent change but I'm almost positive I bought one from a faction I was at -44,000 rep with when I was switching from left to right syndicates months ago.
To clarify, then: I believe there was a clear intent as to how the Syndicate rep system was supposed to work. The amount of effort required to "swim upstream" against that intent only reinforces that, IMO.
Whether that gameplay matches up with the story (and I concede that it does not) is, still IMO, not relevant to a discussion of the mechanics or system design. Don't make me link to TV Tropes.

If you need anything from the other syndicates just ask in guild, people will be willing to trade for the opposite syndicate rewards or just give it to you for free depending on how long they've played.

But syndicate progression has to be horrible for low MR players.
