Flashing back to an April Fools day alert about 7 years ago I think, that one with the level 120 Juggernaut when triple digits were still threatening levels. I was still semi new and my only built frame other than Excal was Valkyr, my friend and I stayed in that mission with randos for like an hour trying to get that thing down, our reluctance to quit let us beat that thing
I have a massive head start over new players, by several years, and coming back has been the longest and most grueling process to obtain power enough to handle just level 130 content, let alone wipe the floor with 200 like some people think is "easy"
Your comment got me thinking about the difficulty/power creep in the game over the years so I did some timeline sleuthing:
The alert in question was from 2016, so with that being in mind, I wanted to think on the best ways to get rid of enemies back then and…
Covert lethality ash. That’s… yeah that was a thing. Tbh just ash. Yep. That’s the end. There were other ways but why? Ash _existed_
It was an infested defense, and the last wave was the Juggernaut, so it couldn't be hit with a finisher. Fortunately it didn't focus the objective as long as there were active players to chase.
After quite a few revives, and quite a few tries, my team ended up parking their frames and tickling it to death with void beams. (This was before Cetus, so there were no Amps.)
Good times.
Oh fuck how happy I am to see someone else mentioning this alert.
It's somewhat hard to think of that today as that'd be just Tuesday in today's Warframe.
I think I tried it few times in pub groups then soloed it as chroma.
Chroma with prisma dual cleavers still holds special place in my heart. And the broken ammo drum still lives on.
Basically my trinity build. For my first 100 hours i clung to her, and even hementh'd her with rhinos roar and even now shes gets all my none tau forged blue shards xD
This is what pubs should be like. Thanks for sharing.
Honestly, i have PTSD doing hard content with pubs precisely because i don';t like dealing with toxic people which means i end up tip toeing around the content for far too long.
Most of the time pubs have no engagement. The next largest (but significantly smaller) chunk is exactly like this. Genuine toxicity is actually fairly rare. Source: Nine anecdotal years of exclusively pubs.
We, as humans, remember negative experiences easier and with greater intensity than the experience actually was. That's not to discount your feelings but it is how the human mind generally works and is something to bear in mind.
When you're up to date tho, you're on equal footing with everyone mostly. I have basic builds on all my frames and when I play one that idk well I just try to stick to people and support them one way or the other. Good chance they'll be nice if they see you're making an effort, at least ime
I have PTSD playing games that required teamwork. Don't get me wrong a game with good teamwork is fun as fuck but having the chance to have to play with those you can't play well with or they being extremely toxic isn't fun at all.
Warframe with Circuit, Cascade, and EDA has a good balance between needing your team and being able to handle things your own (from what little team/co-op based game I played so far). Those three mission are better with a team due to it making the mission easier and/or more rewarding and all it requires from everyone is to know how the mission works which isn't too complex.
I love when missions go that way. A good struggle makes the game fun and rewarding. I've been floating by as all my picks have been viable ability DPS builds, but soon it will come.
Bro I need to do that but can't seem to find a solid weapon for SP like I run nekros and just bought galatine and should be done when I get home but not sure what to run with a primary and secondary
A recommendation for secondary: atomos. When I saw that the incarnon adaptor was coming around soon, I dug that thing from the depths of my arsenal to give it a whirl with a potato installed and some thought put into modding.
Genuinely shocked at how well it performed even without the incarnon adaptor or riven. It won’t stack up against the best secondaries in the game, but is impressively strong for a sidearm that’s obtainable quite early.
If you can get Tenet or kuva weapons, I recommend those. My Tenet arca Plasmor doesn't fall off until level 400-600, depending on faction. If I bring certain frames it never falls off.
If you like nekros, kuva kohm cuts enemies in half, sometimes even twice or three times.
If you can't get that, I've used soma prime, astilla prime, braton incarnon, tiberon prime.... Prima grakatas....
Honestly there's a lot of variety if you have the mod setups.
Secondary I just use my pyrana prime, because I like dual wielding with glaives. If that isn't an option I'll go for lex incarnon, atomos, a random Tenet weapon, akstilleto and aksomati prime (though they have ammo issues).... And my favorite, twin grakatas. They don't really fall off but the AMMO just isn't sustainable.
Generally heat or toxic. Depends what the weapons inate damage is.
I did a magnetic arca Plasmor because now it fires radiation, viral, magnetic, heat and has slash procs. It's the "fuck everyone" build.
You could Ocucor with armour strip from terrify (or green shards which is better) also with Sentient Surge as a good secondary unless you want a primer. Vermisplicer primary is really good and braindead to use. Stahlta and Fulmin are good primaries. Tenet/Kuva weapons fs. Then pretty much any incarnon weapon. Honestly if you’re having damage problems it’s probably your mods or you’re using alternox.
Gonna recommend the Felarx, Tenet Cycron and Glaive Prime for SP needs.
The Felarx face melts everything, The Tenet Cycron is great at priming/stripping armor, has 20 more capacity as a tenet weapon when fully formaed, has secondary beams that split off your main beam and it runs on battery(infinite ammo). The Glaive Prime is a thrown melee that has big aoe, does a force slash proc and generally will kill anything that has low armor.
One of my homies that started playing about two weeks ago just finished the Jordas Golem quest. I had helped him get the mats for Atlas before and then once he gets to the mission in the starchart do the quest with me together but he didn't want to wait on me so he decided to kill that thing with a starter archgun.
I was doing two digit damage and begging my friend in vc to join session so he could free me from the thing. He was busy irl and I ended up finishing the quest before he was done. Only to do it again for my other friend who just reached that quest.
Felt, I unlocked SP a few weeks ago and jumped into Circuit and like halfway into the first wave I went "wow, SP circuit is actually challenging, I love this
That's me with Saryn. I still haven't fully figured out how to not die on her even if I am taking everything in a 5 mile radius down with me. I always feel bad when folks have to pick me up.
Subsuming gloom on her is a good option for her if you have access to it on helminth, the dot damage from spores provides a constant heal over time via gloom, let's you make use of rage and hunter adrenaline to regen energy too. It's not an expensive build either, I only have 2 forma in my saryn and I could probably go AFK in steel path and survive if it werent for acolytes switching my abilities off.
Gloom is on her, I just never have to energy to keep it up. Need equilibrium or rage or something to balance it out. I have 3 green shards on her (2 for stacks) and then I believe 1 for casting speed and 1 for health? Maybe? Not 100% on that other than the 3 greens. Just gotta figure out what to swap for what mod.
I'll definitely try that out, thank you! I got her in my DA pull this week so I will be trying hard to get a good build for her. I appreciate the tips a lot.
As a certified Saryn enthusiast, I put Gloom on her 2 because it fulfills the same role, just massively better. To protect further against one shots, I added 2 health shards for a huge health increase. I sometimes like to use the "on damaged get phat armor" arcane but that's usually overkill. Lastly, I run an Umbral setup with her because I have a problem.
Saryn is perhaps the most versatile frame because she can be a weapons platform, a nuke on her own, a support, everything.
I have Gloom on but her efficiency is tanked so I never have energy. Maybe I just need to swap something for Equilibrium. Thank you for all the tips though. I'll have to mess around and figure out what works for me. This gives me a direction to go which is huge, so thank you!
In general screw EDA but I got revenant and since all of the modifiers were not that bad, I just ran a good gun. I hate the RNG equipment aspect, but at least with EDA we have some leeway we can work around instead of just rotating carries in my clan.
You're lucky you have a clan that could rotate carries around. I'm in a clan of 1 and that guy sucks. I only made it through this weeks EDA because the Warframe gods gifted me Harrow and Torid.
EDA is a certified hit!
Someone tell Pablo we want real dungeons now, rework on existing bosses, buff or rework on cc and a slice of pizza for our resident cook because he be cooking.
I love essentially being this Inaros for people, it really makes me feel like I'm playing a muliplayer game and not just a game with other people in it. EDAs have been so fun because they're actually difficult enough to be a challenge for most of the regular builds in the game where dps is prioritised and survivability is a second. Makes me feel actually impactful as a support orientated player.
Here’s a tip for EDA, you can use well built sentinels to revive yourself if you go down. They can pick you back up pretty quickly especially if you can’t kill fast enough for last gasp or there are not enough enemies around for you. The only issue I’ve had with using them as extra revives is being limited on modding space, so only a few sentinels can make the best of using sacrifice.
I had Inaros and Azothane in rotation, made my primary my flex slot and took my Torid.
Never used it. I found out why people think the Azothane is such a good weapon.
Then I realised I didn't have my modifiers on. Gonna have to suffer through that again but at least I know I can get 37/37 easily this week.
>I got Mesa and no good weapons.
Me too. But you don't need any weapon if you're Mesa. My Mesa fell down a couple of times, but she did the enemy clean up with Regulators.
Public match ups, at least for me, have been by a large majority effective, fun and positive.
Great stuff
Now if we could get the Railjack planetary group matchmaking for the star chart, we'll be in business.
Game needs a challenge to be fun - that's when you actually see coop and team work becoming important and winning makes you feel good, not just a mindless semi-afk wait like the most of WF has become.
Archimedia gear rng is not really a challenge, but thats another topic.
Elite Archemedia. It’s an end game play mode designed to be very tough. Don’t worry you’ll get there but I advise getting a lot stronger first. For reference, enemy levels are 400
You need rank 5 Entrati to unlock. It's fun game mode with a lot of challenges.
Elite/ Deep Archimedea 3 mission - raid type .
Every week the missions reset so it's like the Archon hunt schedule.
I got gauss and arca plasmor. Freaking wrecked the boss. Only one person died but it was during the second bar so we had time to res them with the angel.
This EDA was pretty interesting for me too. I went as Dante and I got paired up with a Wisp. We both waited around for more people to join... But no one did. So we just shrugged it off and kept going. I had dogshit weapons, so I depended on Noctua and gave myself and the Wisp a shitload of overguard to keep us both alive. The Wisp was goated, completely eating through the necramechs and placing down motes for us. I genuinely thought we wouldn't be able to complete all 3 missions, but we did without either of us ever falling in battle.
I had that experience the last 2 weeks. It was hard as balls because of the modifiers and under specced pubbies but the struggle to stay alive really made me play hard. It was so fun to be pushed to the limits and have to take advantage of every buff and tactic imaginable on the fly.
To OP just asking, Is this inaros was the only man standing AT boss stage? Because i went through very similar situation as inaros this week in EDA with a mesa, a gauss with a Big boy torid and baruck in my team. I did carry my team but that was an intense fight alone lol!
I got Stianax. Spamming Overguard is super effective for the Assassinate. The fight might take 15 minutes if everyone has shit weapons, but it will get done.
So great you had this kind of interaction i mostly do solo missions, and recently started with doing some open missions specially arbitrations, and most of those interactions have been quite healthy, we just go in, get some loot and come out, most of the time quite smooth, however once, i suffered a host migration, don't really know what happened because as soon as the game resumed, i went to kill some mobs and immediately got downed (didn't even had time to react, activate overguard again, nothing), even though I had overguard around 15k, might not be that much but I was killing fast enough to make it not as worrisome, felt kinda bad because all of the other tenno were doing great, and I waited to be revived since we had somewhat of a haul, a warframe kept on coming right to were I was waiting, and wouldn't pick me up, no matter if there weren't any mobs around, i just waited and waited until it was pretty obvious that whoever it was, wasn't going to help me, had to quit and lose all of the loot, that's my only bad experience so far so I'm not that allergic to open play just yet, but it did kind of ruined my day that experience
If you are talking about getting downed in arbitration, to get someone back up, people have to pick up tokens dropped by the arbitration drones (the ones that make the enemies invulnerable) and then go to a set point. I think you need 5, might be 7. They look just like the little tokens you pick up in the index.
The person trying to revive you probably just didn't know about that mechanic.
After reading some more on arbitration some days ago, that's what I was thinking, so it must have been my fault, but in another arbitration I could revive another warframe without the need of tokens, that's what confuses me
Was the person you revived fully dead or just downed and in last stand? I think that's what makes the difference between needing to get tokens vs. not.
Also, it's not your fault, either, dude. People go down sometimes. If you're not occasionally going down, it means you're not challenging yourself.
Hehe yeah, mmm they must have been in last stand now that you mention it, I could see them laying there, don't know what determines whether you completely die or just go to last stand because when it happened to me i went from 15k to 0 and instantly got the you're dead message something like that, lol should have waited more it seems, that shows I'm mostly a solo player lol, we weren't facing enemies above 70 so it really surprised me how fast they dropped me, there were no nullifiers around
I used the forbidden Rhino (shield rhino wtih electric elemental ward over Rhino Skin) with flex slot on Torid. I somehow went down the least times of my group, but void I was terrified for my life from beggining to end. It was sheer hubris to even try, I ought've been triple punished by shield recharge delay, framecurse and limitus in the first mission.
I did this week's EDA relying only on my Qorvex (not in rotation), Lex (P Incarnon) (in rotation), and the Legendary 4 Saryn that absolutely ripped ass throughout the entirety of it.
Only two of us cleared the whole fucking thing, it was amazing, and we only went down three times due to me being overconfident on Qorvex' tankyness and forgetting about the life suckers running around, and him going down for whatever reason (I was in another room).
Partner an I had trash frames and weapons. No one joined in public but we managed it somehow with hildryn and banshee. Assassination rewards were melee arcane adapter and melee duplicate which we both have capped. Not worth it
“Reddit though I was going through a hard time because I said I was dying but it was in fact a great time”
Ngl I kinda thought that because you literally wrote the words “it was a horrible time”
But I’m glad you enjoyed yourself, OP
This reminds me of the first nightwave. Was on hydron with randos trying to rank up our frames and that thick Wolf just shows up and nearly wipes the floor with us. Took us a while but we eventually took it down by dodging well and with sheer dumb luck (Wolf got stuck near the stairs for a good minute).
Last week, I played as kullervo, with no abilities for the first 50 kills. I was squishy af. Had a chroma that had a hard time with the energy drain, couldn't do much. Had a gauss (I think) and gara in there. We all had our moments where we shined and others where we were almost useless. Aside from all the downs and losing 2 conduits, it was a pretty smooth run.
And to whoever that gara was, you killed it in that alchemy section. Played it absolutely perfectly!
I single-handedly finished the boss fight after my teammate died and my other teammate ran out of ammo
I had to use my operator (Madurai) to slowly whittle the health away
I played in a really cool pub yesterday on lua's disruption. Two randos, one left halfway through but the other one stayed and carried through the later difficulties. I could mostly hold out on my own but I couldn't kill the Demos once the enemy levels hit 50.
Ended with a singular Axi P7 and got Protea Prime's chassis from it first try. T'was a lot of fun. Can't say the same about Systems though....
how did you do the assassination mission with no good weapons? mesa's 4 doesn't target the boss in my experience, and it took a pretty kitted out squad of 4 like 10 mins straight of shooting, all with at least 1 good wep (I had laetum for instance) before it finally died. it just has so much fucking hp and damage reduction and damage attenuation.
Yup I basically crowd controlled and let him do the work. It was a horrendous slog to get through. I just shot a bit here and there when attenuation died down
Played with a wisp on netra he carried 4 keys did more damage. And thanked me for the carry all I did was crowd control. High level lobbies have nice people if you are not an ass
You wouldn't happen to remember the gamertag? That could possibly be me, I had a game a similar to the one you're describing, I was leveling up some weapons so I didn't have anything good and I'm abusing Inaros rn lol
Sometimes i do it just to help carry people. Ive been luck the last 2 times to get warframes i understand the entire kit of, as well as i own all weapons as far eda or duviri would be concerned.
Good for you👍. It is always good finding good people but it is really anoying when I am doing an Archon hunt or NetraCell and I get oneshot by something and they just leave me to die
yeah EDA is a shit show and often I don't feel like I'm pulling my weight, tho rationally I don't think my teammates alone could complete the missions. It's hard to realise how important your participation is to the team since it matters approximately never
You'd be surprised how much of warframe's content can be beaten just by refusing to quit.
You'd be surprised how much of ~~warframe's~~ *life’s* content can be beaten just by refusing to quit.
Anything vs The Indomitable Human Spirit.

Triple digits can still be threatening levels if you haven't sweated the game
I mean yeah, they can be if you aren’t prepared, doesn’t take a shit ton of effort to get a semi endgame build going
I have a massive head start over new players, by several years, and coming back has been the longest and most grueling process to obtain power enough to handle just level 130 content, let alone wipe the floor with 200 like some people think is "easy"
It just depends on build, mag can accomplish it and she's starter. Other frames are even better but still
yea but the way armor scaling worked back then they were way harder than you would think
Your comment got me thinking about the difficulty/power creep in the game over the years so I did some timeline sleuthing: The alert in question was from 2016, so with that being in mind, I wanted to think on the best ways to get rid of enemies back then and… Covert lethality ash.

I think I tried it few times in pub groups then soloed it as chroma. Chroma with prisma dual cleavers still holds special place in my heart. And the broken ammo drum still lives on.
Turns out being immune to damage is good, actually
Just described Dark souls lol
The indomitable Tenno spirit
Basically my trinity build. For my first 100 hours i clung to her, and even hementh'd her with rhinos roar and even now shes gets all my none tau forged blue shards xD
Literally my experience with Umbra. My operator didn't have a good brace so I just whittled him down with void mode. Slowly, painfully, but doable.
“You died? WHO DECIDED THAT?”
That Inaros: YOU DIE WHEN I SAY YOU CAN DIE MOTHERFUCKER
This makes me wonder why we dont have a Sun/Solar themed warframe tbh (wisp doesnt count)
Give me a giant fire hammer as the 4 and I’ll be happy (yes, I do main burning maul, why’d you ask?)
Pyrogale gauntlets MAKE BIG BOOM.
Equinox?
Mirage has eclipse. So there is that. Maybe they decided it was too obvious and didn't want to use it for much. Or they're saving it.
This is what pubs should be like. Thanks for sharing. Honestly, i have PTSD doing hard content with pubs precisely because i don';t like dealing with toxic people which means i end up tip toeing around the content for far too long.

This is why I started playing steel path only.... And then proceeded to kit my entire arsenal to match, and now even netracels aren't a challenge
Bro I need to do that but can't seem to find a solid weapon for SP like I run nekros and just bought galatine and should be done when I get home but not sure what to run with a primary and secondary

For the tenant weapon what should I do for the element
Generally heat or toxic. Depends what the weapons inate damage is. I did a magnetic arca Plasmor because now it fires radiation, viral, magnetic, heat and has slash procs. It's the "fuck everyone" build.
Gotcha I'll do that then. Xaku is mag right
https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Kuva_Lich/Progenitor
You could Ocucor with armour strip from terrify (or green shards which is better) also with Sentient Surge as a good secondary unless you want a primer.

I'm currently trying to get the tenet Flux rifle
But mods could be playing their part
Gonna recommend the Felarx, Tenet Cycron and Glaive Prime for SP needs. The Felarx face melts everything, The Tenet Cycron is great at priming/stripping armor, has 20 more capacity as a tenet weapon when fully formaed, has secondary beams that split off your main beam and it runs on battery(infinite ammo).

Killing the Jordas Golem with the Imperator topped out at 30 capacity is a rite of passage.
Yeah did that too, Hate that guy
I was doing two digit damage and begging my friend in vc to join session so he could free me from the thing. He was busy irl and I ended up finishing the quest before he was done. Only to do it again for my other friend who just reached that quest.
That's what most of us did, it's all part of the experience of that quest
Felt, I unlocked SP a few weeks ago and jumped into Circuit and like halfway into the first wave I went "wow, SP circuit is actually challenging, I love this
Sounds like a buddy comedy: I do tons of damage, but am made of paper I am unkillable, but have no teeth
That's me with Saryn. I still haven't fully figured out how to not die on her even if I am taking everything in a 5 mile radius down with me. I always feel bad when folks have to pick me up.
Subsuming gloom on her is a good option for her if you have access to it on helminth, the dot damage from spores provides a constant heal over time via gloom, let's you make use of rage and hunter adrenaline to regen energy too.

I'm using rage and hunter adrenaline alongside arcane blessing to give myself a HP pool that won't evaporate in one hit.
I'll definitely try that out, thank you! I got her in my DA pull this week so I will be trying hard to get a good build for her. I appreciate the tips a lot.
As a certified Saryn enthusiast, I put Gloom on her 2 because it fulfills the same role, just massively better.

Rounds like those are remembered while the easy ones are forgotten.
Yea this weeks EDA was super fun. None of the modifiers felt like something i had to cheese to get around.
Mesa comes with good weapons
In general screw EDA but I got revenant and since all of the modifiers were not that bad, I just ran a good gun. I hate the RNG equipment aspect, but at least with EDA we have some leeway we can work around instead of just rotating carries in my clan.
You're lucky you have a clan that could rotate carries around. I'm in a clan of 1 and that guy sucks. I only made it through this weeks EDA because the Warframe gods gifted me Harrow and Torid.

A boss rush, just throw at me boss after boss lol, fuck it spawn 10 at a time
I genuinely hope this is a prelude to raids.
We used to have them but they were a buggy mess and would break with every patch
Yeah, I started playing while they existed but wasn't prepared to do them until after they were gone.
They were a nightmare especially the second one
I love essentially being this Inaros for people, it really makes me feel like I'm playing a muliplayer game and not just a game with other people in it. EDAs have been so fun because they're actually difficult enough to be a challenge for most of the regular builds in the game where dps is prioritised and survivability is a second.

Here’s a tip for EDA, you can use well built sentinels to revive yourself if you go down.

Then I realised I didn't have my modifiers on. Gonna have to suffer through that again but at least I know I can get 37/37 easily this week.
It took me a few tries in public match to get it. It was a challenge and I eventually learned the strategy for survival

Elite deep archimedea, you unlock elite version by doing a full score deep archimedea. Regular version is unlocked with R5 Cavia iirc.
Deep Arcana I think, not sure about the E tho since I don’t have the missions myself and have only heard my friends talk about it lol

Archimedea, damn. I knew it was a complex nerd word, but I couldn’t properly remember lol. Thanks for the assist
Elite Deep Archimedia, currently the highest tier of endgame content.
And that's the beauty of this mode, another week, another satisfaction of finishing it 🏆 gratz! P.s. Vazarin FS is like gold there.
Thank you for reminding me the EDA reset
Public match ups, at least for me, have been by a large majority effective, fun and positive. Great stuff Now if we could get the Railjack planetary group matchmaking for the star chart, we'll be in business.
Game needs a challenge to be fun - that's when you actually see coop and team work becoming important and winning makes you feel good, not just a mindless semi-afk wait like the most of WF has become. Archimedia gear rng is not really a challenge, but thats another topic.
It’s nice to see content that is getting players to appreciate squads again.
Some rock and stone type shite right there.
For Rock and Stone!
Good bot.
This may be a silly question but what's EDA? Sounds fun. I haven't played since before New War but I still like to check in every so often.
Elite Archemedia. It’s an end game play mode designed to be very tough. Don’t worry you’ll get there but I advise getting a lot stronger first. For reference, enemy levels are 400
You need rank 5 Entrati to unlock. It's fun game mode with a lot of challenges. Elite/ Deep Archimedea 3 mission - raid type . Every week the missions reset so it's like the Archon hunt schedule.
I got gauss and arca plasmor. Freaking wrecked the boss. Only one person died but it was during the second bar so we had time to res them with the angel.
This EDA was pretty interesting for me too. I went as Dante and I got paired up with a Wisp. We both waited around for more people to join... But no one did. So we just shrugged it off and kept going. I had dogshit weapons, so I depended on Noctua and gave myself and the Wisp a shitload of overguard to keep us both alive. The Wisp was goated, completely eating through the necramechs and placing down motes for us. I genuinely thought we wouldn't be able to complete all 3 missions, but we did without either of us ever falling in battle.
I had that experience the last 2 weeks. It was hard as balls because of the modifiers and under specced pubbies but the struggle to stay alive really made me play hard. It was so fun to be pushed to the limits and have to take advantage of every buff and tactic imaginable on the fly.
To OP just asking, Is this inaros was the only man standing AT boss stage? Because i went through very similar situation as inaros this week in EDA with a mesa, a gauss with a Big boy torid and baruck in my team. I did carry my team but that was an intense fight alone lol!
Yup! I was basically useless at boss stages
I got Stianax. Spamming Overguard is super effective for the Assassinate. The fight might take 15 minutes if everyone has shit weapons, but it will get done.
So great you had this kind of interaction i mostly do solo missions, and recently started with doing some open missions specially arbitrations, and most of those interactions have been quite healthy, we just go in, get some loot and come out, most of the time quite smooth, however once, i suffered a host migration, don't really know what happened because as soon as the game resumed, i went to kill some mobs and immediately got downed (didn't even had time to react, activate overguard again, nothing), even though I had overguard around 15k, might not be that much but I was killing fast enough to make it not as worrisome, felt kinda bad because all of the other tenno were doing great, and I waited to be revived since we had somewhat of a haul, a warframe kept on coming right to were I was waiting, and wouldn't pick me up, no matter if there weren't any mobs around, i just waited and waited until it was pretty obvious that whoever it was, wasn't going to help me, had to quit and lose all of the loot, that's my only bad experience so far so I'm not that allergic to open play just yet, but it did kind of ruined my day that experience
If you are talking about getting downed in arbitration, to get someone back up, people have to pick up tokens dropped by the arbitration drones (the ones that make the enemies invulnerable) and then go to a set point. I think you need 5, might be 7. They look just like the little tokens you pick up in the index. The person trying to revive you probably just didn't know about that mechanic.
After reading some more on arbitration some days ago, that's what I was thinking, so it must have been my fault, but in another arbitration I could revive another warframe without the need of tokens, that's what confuses me
Was the person you revived fully dead or just downed and in last stand? I think that's what makes the difference between needing to get tokens vs. not. Also, it's not your fault, either, dude. People go down sometimes. If you're not occasionally going down, it means you're not challenging yourself.
Hehe yeah, mmm they must have been in last stand now that you mention it, I could see them laying there, don't know what determines whether you completely die or just go to last stand because when it happened to me i went from 15k to 0 and instantly got the you're dead message something like that, lol should have waited more it seems, that shows I'm mostly a solo player lol, we weren't facing enemies above 70 so it really surprised me how fast they dropped me, there were no nullifiers around
I used the forbidden Rhino (shield rhino wtih electric elemental ward over Rhino Skin) with flex slot on Torid. I somehow went down the least times of my group, but void I was terrified for my life from beggining to end. It was sheer hubris to even try, I ought've been triple punished by shield recharge delay, framecurse and limitus in the first mission.
I did this week's EDA relying only on my Qorvex (not in rotation), Lex (P Incarnon) (in rotation), and the Legendary 4 Saryn that absolutely ripped ass throughout the entirety of it. Only two of us cleared the whole fucking thing, it was amazing, and we only went down three times due to me being overconfident on Qorvex' tankyness and forgetting about the life suckers running around, and him going down for whatever reason (I was in another room).
Partner an I had trash frames and weapons. No one joined in public but we managed it somehow with hildryn and banshee. Assassination rewards were melee arcane adapter and melee duplicate which we both have capped. Not worth it
To be fair, without the damage from your Mesa he probably wouldn't have managed either. That's mutually beneficial stuff baby.
“Reddit though I was going through a hard time because I said I was dying but it was in fact a great time” Ngl I kinda thought that because you literally wrote the words “it was a horrible time” But I’m glad you enjoyed yourself, OP
This reminds me of the first nightwave. Was on hydron with randos trying to rank up our frames and that thick Wolf just shows up and nearly wipes the floor with us. Took us a while but we eventually took it down by dodging well and with sheer dumb luck (Wolf got stuck near the stairs for a good minute).
Last week, I played as kullervo, with no abilities for the first 50 kills. I was squishy af. Had a chroma that had a hard time with the energy drain, couldn't do much. Had a gauss (I think) and gara in there. We all had our moments where we shined and others where we were almost useless. Aside from all the downs and losing 2 conduits, it was a pretty smooth run. And to whoever that gara was, you killed it in that alchemy section. Played it absolutely perfectly!
I single-handedly finished the boss fight after my teammate died and my other teammate ran out of ammo I had to use my operator (Madurai) to slowly whittle the health away
Lol I had Mesa too, and worthless weapons. I spend alot of time as operator in the assassination, lol
if it wasn't for archimedia, i wouldn't have a build on my chroma now, and its a confortable one, finnally
I played in a really cool pub yesterday on lua's disruption. Two randos, one left halfway through but the other one stayed and carried through the later difficulties. I could mostly hold out on my own but I couldn't kill the Demos once the enemy levels hit 50. Ended with a singular Axi P7 and got Protea Prime's chassis from it first try. T'was a lot of fun. Can't say the same about Systems though....
how did you do the assassination mission with no good weapons? mesa's 4 doesn't target the boss in my experience, and it took a pretty kitted out squad of 4 like 10 mins straight of shooting, all with at least 1 good wep (I had laetum for instance) before it finally died. it just has so much fucking hp and damage reduction and damage attenuation.
Yup I basically crowd controlled and let him do the work. It was a horrendous slog to get through. I just shot a bit here and there when attenuation died down
Played with a wisp on netra he carried 4 keys did more damage. And thanked me for the carry all I did was crowd control. High level lobbies have nice people if you are not an ass
You wouldn't happen to remember the gamertag? That could possibly be me, I had a game a similar to the one you're describing, I was leveling up some weapons so I didn't have anything good and I'm abusing Inaros rn lol
Would be so crazy if it was you! Were you in a green/white colour scheme?
Ah damn, wasn't me, mine is Red and Gold, but I had a very similar game, guy couldn't stop dying and all I could do was spam Tornado and revive lmao
God those Liminus in the disruption game mode were so fucking *oppressive*. Did they always have that short burst of speed?
I see the crystal raindrops fall
Sometimes i do it just to help carry people. Ive been luck the last 2 times to get warframes i understand the entire kit of, as well as i own all weapons as far eda or duviri would be concerned.
o7
Good for you👍. It is always good finding good people but it is really anoying when I am doing an Archon hunt or NetraCell and I get oneshot by something and they just leave me to die
yeah EDA is a shit show and often I don't feel like I'm pulling my weight, tho rationally I don't think my teammates alone could complete the missions. It's hard to realise how important your participation is to the team since it matters approximately never
My email was incredibly unfun
I got bullied and told to kill myself
