[NoblesseOblige]

Trying to farm Ivara pieces and have to say the loot tables are far too large. Another example of nonsense they need to streamline.

Edit: Been spending hours on this spy crap and just came to a realization on how dumb it is from a story view...

Lotus: Tenno, we gotta bust into this enemy ship and jack the data. It's totes so important that the enemies would rather destroy it than let it fall in our hands.
Tenno: Oh snap! That sounds important I'm on it.
*Tenno risks life and limb to acquire this oh-so-important information*
IDENTIFIED: 1,500 Credits.

Yeah, Lotus, that was supe important. It's worth less than the MK1 starting weapons.

 

[frizby]

Hope that's a temp ban.

For Ivara, unless you desperately want her, I'd suggest just doing spy fissures and syndicate missions when they come up. At least you're getting something else for your trouble.

Also be sure to go solo and not set off alarms so you can get fire and ice dual status mods.

Baro selling Primed Continuity this month on PC. Might try to get 2, to sell one later.

 

[Cracklox]

I hope this event gets here soon. I've farmed my nuts off for last month - 6 weeks and feeling like a bit of a break. Its not so much the grind, its more putting up with some of the goings on in public games. The aforementioned dropping out after one (maybe two) rotations on endless relics has seem to have gotten worse. In the last week or two, I'm lucky if I get into a group that'll do more then two. Also the days after Banshee came out, people checking the relics in the lobby, and dropping if you didn't have one of the new ones equipped, shitted me to no end. Thats why I save my new and radiants for after the 1st rotation, cos I'd rather put up with that, then give people like that any potential rewards from my stuff.

I kinda wanna just get a good score posted in this event and go back to one or two games that don't require as much trust in other players to not be a dick for a while

Nah not here. We got the Aklex relics and some other stuff. I blew like 500 ducats on the relics, made about 8 radiant, then got 2 blueprints in one run, and 2 links in the next. None from my own relics lol.

 

[Wowbagger]

Oh god, that is so infuriating. Every time there's new prime gear, there's an endless supply of morons insisting on wasting everybody's time instead of using the recruiting channel.

In other news, yesterday, I lost two radiant Aklex keys, two Aklex BPs, another random key and reward, three relic keys awarded from the mission, the time spent farming ducats and traces for the Aklex keys and god knows what else; all because the final enemy in the 18th round of a defense mission decided to drop out of the map, leaving me with no choice but to abort. Sometimes I wonder why I still play this game at all.

Was it Lua? I never play Lua do that happening far too much

 

[Cracklox]

I don't think you get relic missions on Lua? If they are, they're rare

That sucks! You should still get the rotation rewards for the mission, just not anything you picked up during it though. That's happened a few times to me. Normally you should see the rewards straight after the mission, but once I got a message from the lotus in my inbox the next day, saying some items I had left behind had been delivered. Attached were a couple of Prime parts that I hadn't even noticed I hadn't received because there was nothing of note in there.

Another thing just on that. Yesterday in the Void tile set we had an enemy go invulnerable in around the 13th/14th wave. We could see him, just not damage him. After about 5 minutes of trying to kill it in various ways, someone (who turned out to be the host) dropped, which forced a host migration (which actually worked for once). That seemed to reset things, we killed the last mook, and the 3 of us continued on. So yeah, in those instances the host can take one for the team, which it sounds like you might have done for the others in your party.

New update lets you keep all you drops before the.....oh you abort =/

I'll be back for the event but I'm burnt on banshee helios and euphonia.

Maybe I'll just buy the last peices I need for each because I believe I've spent enough time and relics and traces that I should have gotten them already.
I can't take anymore xini and hiercon

Thats what I did, I just bought Helios and Banshee, Euphona is cool but slow to reload, Helios prime came too late for me, already scanned most of them stuff with normal Helios and Banshee Prime is meh in my book. Hieracon 24/7 is boring and more if the drops are pretty rare after you spend traces and several keys to get one piece of the set

No, it was Akkad. Not sure the enemy actually went under the map, like what happens all too frequently on Lua; kinda looked like it just went invisible and invulnerable. We couldn't even see the red dot, but we could find out roughly where it was by watching our sentinels fire at it, and we could mark it. No one managed to damage it, though.

Wait, what? You can abort and still get rewards for completed rotations? Result screen showed no rewards, but I might have gotten them anyhow?

I've seen host migration fix issues like this as well. Sadly, I'm pretty sure I wasn't the host.

Uhm, so not when you abort, but when you... uh, crash? Hmm. Well, in any case, used up the rest of my Aklex relics without getting the link. Would have bought more, if Baro didn't leave so stupidly early on Sundays now. Guess the Aklex is just mastery fodder anyway.

Are the relics standard in his rotation like the inaros quest?

 

[Orochinagis]

I hope so, I think Lex is vaulted too

someone go out there and ask the Warframe PC guys

 

[Wowbagger]

No, they're not. DE got plat to sell and don't want the Aklex to drop in value like the Lex and other always available primes.

Only weapons part of prime access bundles have been vaulted so far, I think.

 

[Trogdor1123]

Anyone want to war within on Wednesday night? I'm just at the ship and honestly don't want to do it solo.

On a side note, how much better is nova prime than regular nova? I really really want a nova prime but the BP farming is killing me. 2 days and nothing. I should just buy some Platinum I guess lol. I hate buying it though and prefer to earn it on my own.

She is but the trailer was delayed due the War Within development

Alex won't have shit on ignis wraith if we don't have an equally generous community as the pc one. There are at least a few clans who post on the WF reddit just giving away their BP's for free.

 

[Amon37]

Very good trading night.

Got a Euphonia Receiver for 30p and a Banshee Chassis for 5p + Atlantis Vulcan

Just need someone selling a Helios Cerebrum for cheap.

Shoutout to Frizby for selling me an Arcane Trickery set for a great price.

Wait so the Ignis BP is tradeable? So if we get it anyone in the clan can dup a BP and sell it?

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Yep. Great way to make plat.

No, they're not. DE got plat to sell and don't want the Aklex to drop in value like the Lex and other always available primes.

DE makes most of its money off of Prime Access which can't have platinum discount coupons applied.

Aklex Relics (which exclusively contained the BP and Link) are still selling for moderate prices and the pieces are still pretty cheap considering they can't be gotten at the moment.

 

[Tabby]

Yep. Great way to make plat.

Good luck with that because a lot of people, especially the ones over on Reddit are giving away Ignis Wraith BP for free.

Clan discount! Besides, I had a few.

PACIFISM DEFECT starting today. We really need everybody to run up their scores for this one, and if you haven't been in Warframe for a bit, now would be the time to drop in and contribute for the clan. Let's do this!!!

Lightning storm here atm, but I'll try to hop on later. How do we know if we're in the top 10%? The in-game stats show it, I guess?

During the weekdays I really only have 2 hours to play but I'll spend those 2 on the event. It's got to go through the weekend right? I wouldn't trust any numbers until everyone hops on then.

 

[VandalD]

It lasted a week on PC, so hopefully it'll be the same for you guys.

 

[BigAl1992]

I hate to tell you this fellas, but due to Health concerns, I won't be able to take part in the event. Long story short, I've been warned by my Therapist that my Current Brain Activity, due to events going on in my personal life, is a consistently high level when I'm asleep, to the point it's as if I was awake 24/7, and that this has been going on for a significant number of weeks. If it keeps up, it could put me at risks of more serious effects to my health, so I have to stop a lot of activities, including gaming, until it gets back under control.

I'm sorry to break the news like this, but I don't really have a say in the matter, and honestly I feel like I've been on the edge of a burnout since the start of this month. Good luck in the event.

 

[Amon37]

I forgot some other places in the USA have spring break this week, I was off work all last week so I wish it was then.

There's nothing on the nav menu. I take it the event was delayed?

I think it was only a notice about the weekly PS4@4 Twitch stream, which was supposed to give us an update on the event hitting consoles... But after skimming it, they didn't actually seem to be talking about it, just the anniversary gifts and new Tennogen skins...

 

[frizby]

Yup, I thought the timer was for the event...turns out it was for a non-event.

[Trogdor1123]

I seriously need a good banshee prime run and a saryn prime no. Ive ran both a load of times and never get them. Sucks lol. Finally got my soma prime to not suck as well.

Spring platinum sale should be soon right?

What are the top 3 or 4 guns right now? I'm running a 6 forms quanta and 4 forma soma prime usually. They seem great but as with any loot game, I want more!

 

[Callandor]

Update has cleared cert and is coming on Monday.

 

[Trogdor1123]

Could anyone teach me about sorties? They seem to be insanely tough.

I'm sure you'll get several fun answers and several mathematical DPS answers.

For me:

Primary:
Synoid Simulor
Tonkor
Vaykor Hek
Tigris Prime
Dread if I have to choose a bow lol

Secondary:
Atmos
Akstilleto Prime
Vaykor Marlock
Possibly Euphonia Prime

Melee:
Galantine Prime
Dual Prisma Cleavers

Update has cleared cert and is coming on Monday.

Nice

The right warframe for the mission type.

Sorties requires certain frames to be easy like

Spy missions

Loki
Ivara
Ash
(Limbo)

Exterminate

Any warframe

Interception

Vauban
Frost
Nova (Slowva)
Banshee
*Any warframe with high DPS

Excavation

See interception

Sabotage

Any warframe

Defense

See Interception

Mobil Defense

See Interception

Rescue

Any warframe

Defend the operative

See interception

Assassination

High Weapon DPS*

Nova (Slowva)

Trinity (can one shoot bosses)

Any Warframe*

Nova , Frost, Ember and Trinity have a free pass in most of Sortie modes (I use mag and Valkyr master race).

In my experience Corpus type is the hardest due insane nullifiers and AOE offspreys bombs so you have to use your weapons more than your abilities while Infested is the easiest to being easy prey on CC frames like Vauban or Ember but drains your energy faster with their eximus units

 

[BlackLagoon]

Assuming you don't have the mods to put together very specialized "endgame" builds...

For Spy make a Loki with good duration (and maybe some range) and practice alone on regular Spy missions. Get good at hacking, and scour every corner of them for secret passages and shortcuts. You can cheese a number of them by placing a decoy ahead and switch teleporting to it, though they've started blocking this more and more - especially on corpus levels. The basic ship air support ability is also useful here as it will freeze the data destruction countdown for a little while, giving you a bit of extra time to salvage the mission if you trigger an alert.

Defense, put together a good duration Limbo and keep yourself and the target safe in the rift (using Banish). Let the others do the killing and revive them as needed. Works for Rescue as well.

For the rest it's had to go wrong with a decent slow Nova if you're mobile enough to avoid getting downed all the time. Or Trinity if you got her duration up to where you can keep Link going constantly.

 

[frizby]

IMPORTANT:

I'll probably do some clearing and recruiting over the next couple of days for the sake of being more competitive. I'm happy to reinvite people after, but if you want to contribute, be sure you're not more than a week or two offline.

 

[Callandor]

I saw a tweet from today from DE[Megan] said it passed XBox cert; but does that mean PS4 as well?

Yup, it's posted in their official forums. Both Xbox and PS4.

Also, assuming we're the same as Xbox, Pacifism Defect will start right at noon EST on Monday.

What do people do with their Rivens? I'm too lazy to unveil them or sell them. I this point I wonder if I should just give them away in the clan for random Prime junk or something.

I usually sell them , you can sell unveiled at 40pl

I know the trade chat isn't always reliable but do people really spend up to 3k Plat for riven mods? Is it just for the popular weapons?

Popular weapons can be sold at 100-200, Meta (the most powerful weapons on the current patch) weapon around 500pl and above, crap weapon rivens dont sell above 15pl

 

[BlackLagoon]

I usually sell them , you can sell unveiled at 40pl

How long do you have to spend in there? I tried selling a unveiled pistol riven for 40p for 5-10min and got no takers, while there were others offering them for 30.

Unveiled usually go pretty quick. I've sold pistols for 40 before, so you were far from unreasonable. From my experience, rifles around 30, pistols around 40 and shotguns seem to be a little more valuable, and have seen go for up to 80-100. I usually wait till I see a wtb, cos advertising a wts on that archaic system is a nightmare for people to see

 

[frizby]

Pacifism Defect supposedly starts tomorrow. I've been pretty ruthless about kicking folks who have been offline for more than 2 weeks and bringing in vets so we can better compete. Hopefully no feelings were hurt, and I'm trying to look out for the best interest of the clan. If I kicked anyone who wants to contribute, please post, and I'll make space for you tonight. Otherwise, we're currently sitting at 99 of 100 with only one or two lower MR (I think non gaffers) who I think I might replace.

Hopefully everyone can find time this week to get the Ignis Wraith for themselves at a minimum and run up their scores if they can.

Frizby, if you wouldn't mind, I'd like to be removed for the clan until the event is over, for reasons I stated in my PM to you. My PSN name is the same as on here. Good luck in the event everyone.
