    Just got the starter deal from the store, 200 plats for 5 bucks seems like a pretty fair deal
    I know I should spend them on frame and weapon slots but I don't really know what is a good ratio for it

    How much weapon slots did you folks get?

    I've easily burned that much on both slot types, mostly from selling stuff to other players.

    Off the bat I'd just hold onto it until you need slots, but I figure you'll go roughly 1:2 to 1:3 on frames to weapons depending how much you keep around.

    I never get rid of primes or other hard to get stuff (Baro weapons etc) so I have a large collection of stuff I don't use much but won't sell either...

    When I was starting out I'd level a weapon up and then trash it if it didn't feel like something I'd use or if it had a higher tier weapon just to save on slots. That came back to bite me since a lot of lower tier weapons are used as ingredients for other weapons so I had to eventually recraft some stuff, the wiki has a list of weapons that are used in other BPs here: https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Weapons_Required_as_Crafting_Ingredients so I would either save those up or immediately craft the upgrades if you are able so that you don't have the old weapons taking up space once they are levelled up.

    I don't pre-buy slots, I just get them as I need them, but I'm not tempted by most cosmetic stuff so if I have spare plat I don't feel it is burning a hole in my pocket.

    So it looks like the Twitch Prime goodies have shuffled to (non-prime) Ember and some cosmetic stuff, is anyone else having trouble redeeming them? I get the window for authorizing them to see my email to give my account goodies, but then I get some funky error screen thing.

    Something about an invalid token? I got that. I fixed it by using an incognito window. I had to log into like 3 different services between amazon, twitch, and warframe, but it worked on the first try.

    The link that Amazon Prime and Twitch Prime accounts have between them is so wonky. Like, why do you even have to log in a second time if you're going to the goodies link directly from your twitch notifications?

    Did DE change something in the lighting model for the game again? Any ships I'm on (Grineer, Corpus, w/e) are suddenly super-duper dark inside, almost to the point of losing navigability.

    [Edit] Looks like HDR suddenly got turned on? Weird. Turned it off, and things are visible again.

    [Edit 2] But not inside Orb Vallis facilities that are underground; still dark as all get out. Weird.

    I find that a real good way to get a riven in your next sortie for one of Baro’s prisma weapons is to sell it. Then a real good way to get him to stock it again is to sell or burn the riven. I guess I could try going, “oh, I forgot I had one of those already,” but I suspect the RNG would see through such a cheap trick, and punish me for my hubris.

    You can sort weapons and frames by usage, actually.

    There are also loadouts, of course, and those you can favorite if you ever go crazy and spend a shitton of plat on enough loadout slots that you need to actually scroll through them.

    It can be. Kuva if they make an attempt (at least on PC) and they can help a lot if your rank 4-5 Lich is tougher than you'd want to face solo. Though it seems like nowadays you're not going to actually get a pug that often unless it's the Lich version of an endless mission.

    I screwed up growing it, but I have one and about 75% of another requiem done on the one planet she was on... kept her level 1. The only mission I have left is freaking a interception one and hate solo interception. I guess if I can get her to spawn I can drop her, take the failed guess and hopefully level her up, then just fail the mission. Don't really feel like blind/ banish+stasis or other CC spamming it up.

    edit: forcing a level will save progress, but you won't get any murmur progression if you fail the mission, I guess to prevent farming in that fashion.

    Consoles are perpetually behind because they can't just hotdrop patches into the ecosystem, it has to be certified first.

    they don't just need to be certified, IIRC they contract with outside studios who handle the porting for the console versions. So they need to finalize the PC code then deliver it to those studios for porting, then the ported patch needs to be tested, THEN it needs to be submitted for certification by the console people.

    Edit: Also I think I am almost done with the starchart stuff, cleared almost every planets except for the ones requiring archwings and really tough missions. Can anyone give me a general direction on where or what to do next?

    My general experience is I'll do 20 waves of void defense and come out with one (or zero) argon. Two if RNG is feeling nice. And given I have literally nothing else I want from there, it feels like wasting time as well as being boring as nuts. so I have done the entire rest of the ship in a week and I expect this will take a month.

    You want to do survival or Mobile Defense, bring a Smeeta Kavat, some form of loot radar and a frame that can boost loot drops. Non-Defense void maps usually have at least one Aragon crystal container, might even be guaranteed, and Smeeta will randomly give you an argon like a good kitty.

    Yeah, I had two options, as the only mission left on the planet was interception.

    1) lose to them intentionally so they level and expand (did this)
    2) complete the solo interception mission (which is so... SO boring to do).

    The upside is that the Kuva Lich interception is mercifully 1 round long, should I decide that I need the murmur progress and have time to waste next time I poorly plan my planetary cleanout.

    She's carrying a 39% Radiation Kuva Karak damage and I feel like the percentages are random just so they could add an infusion system to the game because why not? Maybe we'll get an optimization station to let us improve the damage % for kuva too? >_>

    I farmed all 15 argon without a booster yesterday in about an hour and forty minutes just by running Hepit (low level void capture) and scouring the level with a max range limbo (his 4 breaks containers and can easily nuke the low level stuff) and an ignis (also good aoe for breaking containers). Probably could have gone faster if I hadn't tried to check all the lockers. I think I got one crystal from a locker but the rest were from rocks and an occasional enemy drop. It wasn't the most fun hour and forty minutes I ever spent in warframe but it was probably more engaging than the mining I had to do.

    Since I'm a PS4 player, Railjacks don't exist yet. But looking at the build requirements, I'm going to need millions of credits. What's the best method, aside from The Index, a mode I hate and a quest I can't finish?

    The first mission you do for the day gets a double credit bonus, so a good habit to get into is to make sure your first mission is the final stage of the Sortie. It's an easy way to build up credits over time. If you want to farm a bunch of credits at once without the Index, another option is Profit Taker.

    Profit Taker, Chroma 4, credit booster, fractures event. I think you can hit 2m per run if the stars align like that.

    Since I'm a PS4 player, Railjacks don't exist yet. But looking at the build requirements, I'm going to need millions of credits. What's the best method, aside from The Index, a mode I hate and a quest I can't finish?

    Credit farming by efficiency:
    1. Index
    2. The Profit Taker with high damage frames like Chroma. Good cash, but requires very good gear and it's still not as good as Index.
    3. Dark Sector Excavation. Get in, run a single excavator. Get out.
