Guys, new with Warframe here. How on Earth do I get an archwing to do the missions on Earth? Do I buy a blueprint And try grind the materials?
This game is really grindy. I would liked to have paid money for this game with out this intense level of grinding and I'm only level 30.

All right, DE. I'm ready. Don't mess this up!
The game is very grindy. It does get better over time as you open up more options, but that can take a good bit of time. If you don't like grind, you might not enjoy your time with Warframe.
Rank 30 is the maximum rank a weapon or frame can reach.
You need to do the archwing quest. Just keep doing other quests and unlocking junctions and it should give you the archwing quest. You won't be able to complete Earth until later.

I remember them saying that keeping it updated was causing some problems. This was a while ago though, so I could be wrong.

So I'm having a bit of a personal crisis with this game. I look at Prime items and rare mods, check their drop rates... and then contemplate trading plat for them.
I'm normally very against paying real money for in-game drops, but for some reason when it's part of an in-game, player-to-player economy, it doesn't seem so bad. It's weird and kinda makes me feel bad.

And there you have it. Should just put this post in the OP.

There were performance issues and iirc they weren't getting help from Nvidia to actually fix them up. I think they also felt bad for non-nividia users and we're going to try their own physics system sometime.
So one of the G3 finally spawned while I was finishing a mission the other day, and all I got was Endo...
I've been trying to get them multishot mods since I started playing the game and I am starting to get real frustrated.
Question, once you are marked for death by the G3, is it permanent or do I have to keep playing against the Grineer in invasions?

No the mark is removed once they invade but iirc it stacks as you do invasions and piss them off.

It'll last until they end up killing you. Then you'll have to get marked again.
Do Law of Retribution, the first raid. They always spawn in the last area of the second stage, all three of them.
Edit: Hydroid update inbound!
Unfortunately, I don't think I have good enough weapons or mods yet to do raids. I just started a good Hek and gathering mods for that, and I finished a decent Guandao build. I already have Nova Prime, but even there I am missing mods. As of right now I am prioritizing getting Trinity before she is vaulted.
Any suggestion on easy to get/build secondary weapons? I mostly want to focus on finishing the star map. I am MR8 (almost 9, dreading the test) and I am working on the Jupiter junction.
EDIT: 75% off coupon, FML...

Sounds interesting and in line with the other reworks re all the powers can work with each other.
Also that armor buff
Glitchesarecool

I don't think any of the changes will really make Hydroid that much better (and note this is without playing and testing him out, just from reading the notes), but the important thing is that these are all buffs for him.
Armor buff is probably the best part of the rework.
Seriously tho, haven't played around with it much but it seems like the entire basis of the rework was to add synergy to puddle so you didn't just have to lay there being stupid the entire time. I'm ok with this. Can't fit any mods on the damn thing without a potato tho, so I'll let everybody else play with it and just keep waiting for prime. At a glance tho I say it's a big step forward for him and they didn't break anything.

Yes this, absolutely. It's just that a big step forward from an F is still just a D.
They didn't even mention one of the most important changes. Barrage can be cast again without overwriting the previous Barrage. This change with Barrage also being chargeable make it a pretty decent ability. Its augment works well with it.
Tidal Surge is still too expensive for what it does. It's okay for a burst of invincibility I suppose. That seems like its main purpose. Barrage does the same amount of damage while knocking enemies down instead of away, and you don't have to be near them to do it.
Untertow is still one of the worst abilities in the game. Who wants to be a puddle of water? Again, it's useful for some invincibility I suppose, but I don't get it. Why use this? It does horrible damage, and if you try to move, you end draining a lot of energy, especially if you use Tidal Surge. The only time I could see this ability being useful is in interception or defense, where you lazily sit around and drag things into your puddle to very slowly kill them. So it's the same as it was before. You just get to click things now.
Tentacles are still tentacles. They seem a bit better at hitting things if you charge them up. That's about it.
Hydroid seems like he was meant for point defense. If you need one particular area locked down, Hydroid can get the job done. But that's all I can see him being good at, besides spreading a lot of corrosive procs with his 1's augment. The armor increase and Barrage not being overwritten are the standout changes, and that's pretty disappointing. Of course, I could be missing something and he could be amazing at doing something I haven't tried. But meh.

That's because Barrage has had that quality for a bit now I believe.
I don't think that's right, but I could be wrong. I was using him yesterday to get a feel for him again so I could better appreciate the changes today. It's a good thing either way. Maybe that came when they also made it a one-handed cast.
Edit: Wiki history says I'm wrong. Could've sworn it overwrote while using it yesterday. Welp. Armor change is best change.
I can give you a set of multishot mods if you want. Otherwise, I think it's probably easier to try and find them through void containers and treasure rooms than it is through the Grustrag trio.

It seems like it's better to just do spy missions solo.
Tried to do the Stolen Dreams one where you need to hack all 3 terminals and I failed everytime I went with a group until I did it solo.

It's only faster with people that know what they're doing. Never pub a spy mission.

lol
so he will remain to suffer like G did. I'll use him again to check it out and once i get the prime version.
+1 to both of these.
just switch from public once spy is involved and pick your frames of choice (Loki for just breaking it entirely , Ivara to make it a bit fun, etc)

Ivara with her augment makes it a literal walk in the park. Loki can't even approach how much she trivializes spy.
Infinite Justice
Member
I find that extremely hard to believe given how he breaks it so wide open already :O
edit: Ok after seeing the augment i can see it now since she has the aspects that prevent him from being a god. LOL.
PM'd you.
I can agree with this. Cameras I think are the only obstacle you need to worry about.
The only obstacle you need to worry about as Ivara in a spy mission is accidentally running or sliding.

I just play loki in spies because he's a lot faster than ivara.
Glitchesarecool

Actually I've come up with a fantastic Spy Ivara build that makes her almost as fast as Loki. Turns out that Dispatch Overdrive works while she cloaked. With enough rolling I've beaten some Lokis to vaults.
But yeah, generally loki would move faster. You just can't beat ignoring laser traps though.
I just jump and roll everywhere.

As a new player, if I buy like 1000 plat, what should I spend it on? Most of the videos I see are about grinding free Platinum.
I'd also appreciate an invite to the guild if possible. Same name.

Warframe and weapon slots. Then catalysts, then reactors, maybe forma bundles, and then cosmetics. You may also consider Warframes that have extremely high grind requirements, like Mesa or Equinox, but that's like least important for gameplay.
I would suggest getting a feel for the game first and seeing if it's your cup of tea before spending that much on it though.
Unless you got a 50 or 75% off coupon for the daily login rewards, I'd suggest you save your money till you do. As a new player, invest in weapon and frame slots.
EDIT: Beaten to the punch.
I'd also suggest doing some Lith Fissures once you have amassed a few relics. You can sell the items you get for plat in tradechat by using a tool like warframe.market. It won't be much at first but you will get a decent chuck of plat to spend on weapon and frame slots to get you started.
Tried out Hydroid in sortie 1 after never touching him after mastery fodder. Only useful thing think I like is that Tidal Surge and Undertow makes it easy to trigger Obex's augment, but I'm sure that worked before the rework. Having skills work in undertow is nice, but undertow is still a really dull ability.
Back to collecting dust til prime comes out.

Consider me sold on the Soma. I'm normally not into bullet-hoses in any game, and I was pretty cold on this one when I was getting going with it a few days ago. Better than the Gorgon, but meh. But then I took it on a little Void mission and Vital Sense dropped. Now it's 30, it's got a catalyst on it, and it's my default primary. I got a Carrier going to help me out on the ammo front, too. So good. 
Was just grouped up with someone using Hydroid on the Defense sortie and his Undertow and Tentacle Swarm abilities are still annoying to teammates, so that seems like it could be better. You really ought to be able to shoot into Undertow, and Tentacle Swarm needs to either chill out or be a bullet attractor or something. Instead it just sometimes launches enemies into geometry and gets them stuck.

Like I said, none of the changes actually fix the underlying issues of Hydroid. This was barely a rework, more just a tweak.
Undertow is actually the worst because it removes enemies entirely from allies. If they were just like, enveloped by water when they touched the surface of the puddle, so allies could wipe them out. If anything this update has reintroduced the TrollDroids, who just hold onto defense waves and drag things out.

Status duration is generally a junk stat. On the Mios you might lose some slash procs but you're hitting the enemy so often with something that it won't matter. The right is better for the status chance and range. Too bad you rolled impact there.

Huh, chat seems completely dead in-game. Weird.
Although I kind of... didn't notice until I was going to trade.

Turns out there were some undocumented nerfs with that change to Hydroid. So yeah, he's still garbage. He's just slightly less garbage.
