    Played some crossplay with my son tonight. It worked really well. Shame we can't add friends but at least we can just stay grouped up. He hit MR4 but that doesn't unlock anything neat. 5 is when the good guns start to show up. I took him to hydron and we did two rounds but then it was bed time. It sucks that I can't trade him mods. Also sucks that I can't find him a clan. He could really use access to those goodies. We had fun and are going to continue tomorrow after work and school.

    Hek and Vasto disagrees with you assessment of MR4 guns. Although most of the goodstuff at tier 4 are Lab weapons (guandao, nikana, venka, nukor).

    Holy shit, I'm never gonna make these zariman weapons. I'm incapable of finding a squad that'll stay for a full reward rotation. Everyone will cut at wave 1 or for some fucking reason, wave 3. My brain hurts.

    Does a void angel spawn at wave 3 of what you're doing? It's drop void angels for Nightwave so maybe they're just doing that. I guess the ravenous counts as a void angel... that... changes things :V

    I need 15 pinions quickly... so... sorry if I we crossplay xD

    Don't forget to check Yonta for voidplume trades, it's always an upgrade to whatever plume you're trading in and updates 3x daily. You should be swimming in Thrax plasm and Voidgel orbs after a few missions so always buy whatever doesn't cost Lanthorns.

    Also if you're been doing Zariman missions for a while do yourself a favor and check your foundry to see if you can build the Parallax landing craft. The air support marks every voidplume, syndicate medallion, ayatan sculpture, kuria, and rare crate in a decent radius. It is game changing.

    Ooh, been wondering about what did that. And I also finished building the Parallax yesterday.

    The absolute quickest route to pinions is spamming the exterminate or Mobile Defense; there's always going to be an angel somewhere in the tileset, and both of those let you pause what you're doing and gank an angel real quick. (And if you have a good amp, they're very soloable too.)

    I do exterminate as bounties because it seems that they do the old thing when you can truly clear the exterminate maps out upon completion and just explore. The sweet peace it brings... :V

    I don't think they fixed it so exterminate works the old way on other maps though, right?

    The irony about those pistol skins, IMO, is that by the post-Orokin era, they're all about as archaic as the flintlock.

    I'm pretty sure that they would have been as archaic as the flintlock even in the pre-Orokin era. Human civilization went to space, became the Orokin empire, flourished (as much as an utterly corrupt and decadent regime can flourish) and rose to heights where the leaders believed they were god, commited acts of hubris, warred against their creations, fell, experience a second dark age that lasted long enough that Warframes (the elite weapons of the previous war) became myths and religion before they were revived by some reclusive order of warframe worshipping cultists and their messianic leader the Lotus.

    Archaic weapons are kind of the point lorewise. There's fluff somewhere about needing to break out armament too primitive for the Sentients to automatically assimilate for themselves. Void energy did the heavy lifting but dusting off the museum pieces to surprise the Sentients was a part of it too apparently. Warframe is just so far off that even sci-fi weapons are archaic in lore.

    No clue, I'm afraid; that's the only one I've done it on.

    So far as I am aware there is only one weapon that requires parts as drops from zarimen missions. The aeolak or something? The overpowered weapons are all purchased from the faction weapon dude but required void feathers and whatnot to craft.

    I did almost ALL my void feather and resource harvesting doing the zariman exterminate node, solo. Doing it solo lets you fully explore, learn the tileset fully and open every loot container to get more lanthorns than you'll ever use by the time you get enough void pinions.

    It was very slow and easy on ivara and quite pleasant doing it while listening to sean carroll talk about the arrow of time. Often times, the exterminate node is a bounty from the zariman bounty giver, which I will take over simply doing the node naked unless the bounty requirement is doing the node in less than 5 minutes. I like to get all the loot and it has payed off, I've never been short or even close to it for doing all the crafting.

    We may not be on the same platform, but my operator can usually one shot the angels, hit me up if you want to try some with a team mate but not feel the need to rush. My in game name is severenn and I'm also in the discord

    TIL that they left the "automatic failure" thing in Exterminate missions. Was exploring and blowing up all the crates and boxes. Satisfied there was nothing left I started the Angel. Last bar... and this happens:

    Every time I've done a time limit exterminate, I go back and spend all the time looting and have never had a failure or problem. Though I do also always kill the angel as soon as it shows up, never waited until the timer was done. I prefer to do them slowly from the outset though so I've only done a dozen or so timed missions.

  • tastydonutstastydonuts Registered User regular
    I went through the bounty kills and was just exploring and all... but by the time I started the angel there just wasn't enough time to complete it. As I assumed I wasn't pressed for time, I didn't fight it like I was... I actually melee'd down the second bar... while I was doing the void part the game went "oh hey you have 30 seconds until mission failure!"

    Had it not knocked me out of my frame that would have been a different post. :V

    If you're scavenging for Zariman resources, the absolute best frame you can bring is a box-breaker Xaku build, max range and efficiency, dump duration, spam 4, bring lots of Loot radar and Helminth on Greedy Pull if you're feeling extra lazy. Lanthorns for DAYS.

    edit: also bring the cat that digs up rare resources.

    They've been talking about an iOS client for a while iirc. Bet it'd eat your battery, but don't see why it couldn't work; the various play-anywhere/streaming solutions seem to be doing nicely.

    Tencent has lost a lot of market value the past few years, plus support... so idk..

    weird that they have the Iphone 11 and XR... but not the SE (2022). Though I guess display size/res was a large factor in that consideration?

    Not only can you invert tap and hold, you can do so for each individual frame and power. works fine for me, been this way for a long while now on pc.

    yeah, unfortunately it doesn't seem to work on Xbox, or at least it didn't for me. Tried setting just the frame to "invert", no joy. Set the default to "invert" too, but it still didn't work. :V

    Maybe it just applies to cycling abilities?

  • tastydonutstastydonuts Registered User regular
    Vauban's 2 is a cycling ability (different mines)... changing it around wasn't doing anything. I would set it, confirm and then when I played the control didn't change. When I went back to the menu, it still showed my choice as "inverted" too. But having switched to a few different frames and some missions later, I tried to set it again and now it's working? I'll take it.

    Managed to get a Xaku Chassis to drop too, so I'll have that frame in several days shortly.

    Like the global bonus to energy return applies to things like Hunter Adrenaline/Rage. That might genuinely make some Quick Thinking builds a lot more feasible.

    One hilarious but kind of expected thing I've noticed about cross-play is that Switch players always load in and out of missions dead last. It's to the point that 9 times out of 10 when cracking relics I'll load into the mission and the mission is already over ... and I'm the host. Now let me just run over, collect the trace, crack the relic, and run to extraction before the timer runs out. And here I thought players were speedy in running missions on Switch. Those PC players will make you rethink your life decisions. I don't think I can run Eidolons in a public squad guys because by the time I load in Harry is already crying ... wow.

    no, has to be an SD card or the built-in memory.

    I AM using the internal memory but everything loads S L O W L Y for the switch ... well slowly compared to everything else, LOL.

    I've even had cases where the mission completes and before I can get past the mission complete screen I'm loading into the next mission. I'm literally getting dragged into missions because of the loading time. I mean, I didn't even give consent before I was whisked away to goodness knows where.

    So, not very impressed with the Perigale.

    12 round mag on a sniper rifle isn't bad, but it shoots in four round bursts so you really only get three shots. Ammo max is 24 for everyone except Voruna who gets 48. Four consecutive headshots (including multishot) procs 100% ammo efficiency for four seconds.

    Sounds not bad, only unless you are in Steel Path the enemy is probably dead from your teammates AOEs by the time your hits land, so I hope you enjoy the interminable three second reload.

    For solo it's not too bad, but I wouldn't use this on any frame but Voruna for the Sniper Wolf memes.
