Is this different from a Party? If so, does it notify you in-game if there's a new message? If it doesn't then I think the in-game chat is better... time stamps are coming next patch.

Mr. Community
It pops a PSN notification alert everytime a message gets sent and because it's a ps4/psn feature, it works cross-game, meaning no matter what you're playing you can always check what's going on with warframe GAF.

Hm, not bad then. Will use.
Please invite me. PSN: Xater
Spent pretty much all day yesterday playing this. Quite enjoying it. It's definitely scratching the FPS itch I have...at least until Planetside 2 is launched.
Are there any UK/Euro gaffers playing? Would love to group up for some missions and learn a bit more about wtf I'm doing. Will probably be on pretty much all day today
Also, an invite to Gaf Dojo?

Anyone play Valkyr? Builds? I got her to level 10, and she seems underwhelming so far, especially her ult. Never mind the fact that you can't see shit while you're Hysterical; it's also hard to hit enemies with the janky melee controls. I suppose it can be used situationally, in defense and survival missions, but all in all, she is mediocre.
Yep, EU here. Just hit me up. I have so e stuff I need to level anyway.
If it's any consolation, I'm right here with you.
Well, not literally, but you know what I mean.
Haha. I still spend all my time just doing random missions for parts, I am hoping I can get my Rhino and maybe a new set of weapons before I head out to try some real stuff. I have not tried and alert, or using keys or nothing like that.
That's not a bad way to go for where you are. Just keep making progress through the star chart, levelling stuff. You'll get a decent amount of stuff in each category as you go, and by the time you have a set at 30 you'll have a good selection of mods, and a decent amount of options as far as where to go with building new toys.
I wouldn't worry about keys until you get a set to 30, either. You CAN handle a T1 and arguably a T2 with a lesser set, but being able to maximize a run in the void is really handy, and that's not something you'll be doing if you are only surviving the runs, not crushing them.
You guys have my sympathies; I've only dodged the bullet because I booked this time off several months ago. Once tomorrow's out of the way, I'll hopefully get a few days to put some time in; I need to build the Glaive.. it looks so cool... but there's at least a days farming to be done first!
I have back to back 5 day weekends, so I am hoping the wife lets me get some good time in! My baby ... well he may take up some of that time. Haha.
So any suggestions of blueprints to buy for my next set of weapons? I have a Braton maxed (I am working on the starter gun for the points) and I still have the starter pistol. I am using the sword that drops from Jackal.
The only weapon blueprint I have is the Glaive.
Not the headset. Those people have the PS Camera.
With the two shield mods (redirection and the one that decreases the charge time) and Steel fibre, it can take a considerable amount of damage.
The tactics with it involve dive bombing into a mob, hitting paralysis and blowing your shields out and them lacing into what's left standing with hysteria.
I really enjoyed the Latron (Semi-Auto accurate rifle) as a primary. If you want auto and don't mind projectile travel (meaning you'll need to lead your targets) Boltor is ok. If you have access to ClanTech try getting the Dera. Same projectile travel issue as Boltor but it's a laser gun (think Stormtroopers blaster rifles). Vastos and Dual Vastos are great secondaries, and farm the materials for Glaive. It's super fun, you can throw it by doing a charge attack and it'll bounce around like Captain America's shield slicing as it goes.
I really like the Latron for precise shooting, and the Boltor is a good versatile pick. That said, if you don't have a shotgun yet, you may want to go that route, since you are building Rhino. I've made several posts discussing the pros and cons of those in this thread, a search should get you them.
Melee wise, I like the Scindo quite a bit. The Amphis doesn't get nearly enough love, either. The Kogake are really neat, too, if you just want to beat some dudes up.
I love the amount of options. I just do not want to get a gun I can not build/have the mastery level for.
If/when you sell a gun, and you buy/build it again, is it level 0 all over again? I am wondering if some guns are worth keeping (Yes I will be buying some slots)
I settled on a latron (prime) for the rinho. Because of the iron skin, you can take your time lining shots up. The prime version has high crit rating (25%) which i built up to 45% with 700% crit dmg. Rinho stomp to line up 7-8 enemies for 10k crits to the face. DPS wise i can keep up with most end game novas and mags
I'm not entirely certain.
Back when this game was in Closed Beta, they had a Founders Program. Was originally going to end in March 2012, ended up ending in November 2012, but that's not the point. Anyways, one of the perks was you earned Excalibur Prime.
Once I had E Prime, I figured I had little reason to keep my standard Excal, so I sold it.
I'm unsure of when, but at some point I suddenly had the regular ass Excal in my inventory again. I might have bought it sometime with spare plat just to round out my roster of frames, they might have put it back in my inventory, I don't know. The point is, it was back at "Unranked". When I sold it, it had been at Rank 12 or so.
So the reason I say I'm uncertain is, I can't honestly tell you how I got that Excal back. I'm pretty sure I didn't buy one again, but I wouldn't put it past me to just go fuck it and drop the plat for some reason. And if I got it back because of some weird thing with the Founders Program and E Prime, I don't know if that changed how it worked out either.
So...yeah.

C'mon man, you are the tank. What are you doing lining up shots? Get your ass in there and start wrecking shit.
Not trying to be the jerk who goes "YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG YOU DUMBASS", honestly. I'm just saying, If I saw a Rhino that was picking dudes off, I'd have a hard time not thinking "the fuck is this guy doing".
So I guess the Strun would be a good second weapon to pick up and run with the Rhino? Since I do not have to build it, it is even better I think ...

Can that damage 2.0 chart be added to the OP?
Yeah, the Strun is a fine weapon. It does get a bit outclassed by the higher end shotguns but you can get a lot of use from it before that ever becomes an issue.

So what you guys think about the frame with the largest potential DPS output?
Mag Prime and Nova?

Farm. Tell me when you're ready and I'll help.
I'm playing both PC and PS4 for some reason. One thing I'm slowly working towards is a Trinity I can play on Vita. Basically I'll spam Blessing and run around grabbing energy orbs/mats and keep an eye on life support in survival missions. The problem is to effectively reach a point where that's viable I need a few things.
Trinity (lol), with Aura slot polarized for Energy Siphon.
Maxed Mods: Blessing, Continuity, Constitution, Narrow Minded (Corrupted), Flow, Streamline
Helm: Aura
With this setup Trinity can keep Blessing up for about 25 seconds with 1.2 seconds (cast time) down time. If the team is dying in the 1.2 seconds it takes to cast it's probably time to bail.
This way I can still effectively contribute to a team while not having to worry too much about the control limitations on the Vita while the wife or kid is running the TV.

That would be awesome, thanks! My PSN is paritybit, I have one friend. lol
I spent $17 so far.
I used the 20% off sale, with the $10 bucks of PSN money in the PS4 box, and the $10 Sony paypal deal.
I picked up some plat on sale for slots/Reactors/Catalysts.
I've spent at least $400 dollars on this game since I started playing. Keep in mind I started on the PC.
I've spent a bit more cash on it as well, I have enough of the ball aching parts neurodes, control modules etc to last a while, got 4 reactors, 4 cells, 4 catalysts in the bank as well.
I don't mind spending money on it, I average what I'm spending on it in game purchases anyway and I am having a great time with it.
Only thing I don't like about it is the Corpus missions, the ospreys move too quickly for me to get a bead on them with a pad, meaning you can get quickly overwhelmed by a horde of virtually indestructible bad guys.
I've got a Mag building now to see if I get on any better with it against them.

I've spent the $10 sony money that came with the console, and then an additional $30-35 over the last month. A big chunk of that was when I decided I had to have Nekros(wish I hadn't) and bought him with plat.
But considering I've mostly used my plat on extra slots/catalyst/reactors/the occasional material I can't seem to get to drop and I've crafted Rhino/Trinity/Scindo/Galatine/Orthos/Boltor/Vastos/Dual Vastos, I'd say I'm having a pretty good time. Now if I can get the other 2 Frost Prime bp's to drop...

This is fun but is there some form of good guide for newbs anywhere that explains this game to folks? I feel like an idiots half the time with whats going on and what half the shit in the game is. So much crap has no explanation in the game, and the game lacks tutorials for basic things.
The Warframe Wiki has a pretty good Beginner's Guide. http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Beginners_Guide

Valkyr has the highest armor rating in the game at 300. Rhino is the next highest with 190, for comparison. With maxed Steel Fiber that gives Valkyr 630 armor, meaning nearly 68% of all damage done to her health will be mitigated. Only something like 32.25% of damage will make it through. Rejuventation is probably the best aura for this frame.
You also should keep in mind that that Hysteria makes you invulnerable. If modded for max power duration that gives you over a minute of total invincibility while you collect orbs and let Rejuventation tick your health back up. Not bad...
Also, dive bombing with Rip Line is just stupid fun. =)
Pretty much. Super fun Warframe to play, though perhaps not all that useful for endgame.
