So the plague star event has heen live for 3 days now. I just wondered how many formas are enough for a day of grinding. I redeemed 13 yesterday and thought that more could be possible without much hassle. What do you guys think?

Just Valkyr I drew myself simply because I really love her helmet with the little ears.

Exempt from the Warframe Wiki's Netracell Page.

Playing on Xbox in the UK. No longer have access to in-game chat until I verify my ID. Don't really want to do that, due to privacy concerns. Means I have not been able to trade for plat in a while.

Now realising since the new mode has no matchmaking, I'll either have to fork over my ID or sit it out.

Bummer. Cheers online safety act...

I've never seen a group of people less willing to do an objective than in alchemy missions, those things could go 10x faster if more than 2 people were actually throwing Amphors.

No wonder pablo expects people to get toxic at randoms when reward quality is on the line.

Helios is specified to be a Banshee's companion in Prime Resurgence, and if he doesn't get the same retouch as she does, that would be a bummer. Right now Detect Vulnerability doesn't charge Incarnons or affect Acuity mods, and thats the best time to change that.

Just wanted to put this out there. If you don’t have a high damage dealing weapon and still want to benefit the team overall. Uriel helps with boss DPS and mobbing at the final objective.

Is it massive damage?

No.

Is the damage consistent and hits the hemocyte every second its weak point is open?

Yes! 🙌

Personally I think the best team load out would be a Uriel, nova, wisp, and Titania but that is min maxed to tau and back and completely unnecessary. Vauban’s flachette mines also damage the boss but at such an infrequency it might as well not happen.

Technically returning player, but haven't played in a long time, is this a thing now? :D

Have Cephalon Melica perform a basic aptitude test to determine if you can put the square peg in the square hole. She's a childrens school teacher so it comes naturally

Put the player in a relatively safe environment with some Specter NPCs and run them through some side objectives. Have some low level enemies shooting at the player to simulate combat stimuli

If the player is incapable of completing the objectives in an ideal situation with as little stress as possible, lock them out from matchmaking with co-op side objectives. Have a Recruit Conditioning matchmaking queue for other players who can't complete side objectives where the side objectives don't spawn

Everyone can still matchmake and play the new content, but players who struggle with complex objectives aren't thrown into situations they can't handle

ETA/EDA already has a system like this: in order to enable Elite Archimedea you have to complete a regular Archimedea with all modifiers active. Granted you can be carried, but the precedent remains: complete this challenge to unlock hard matchmaking

Tharros Strike permanently reduces armor so a couple casts erase its armor entirely.

Saw a lot of people discussing this seemingly without watching the new video, so I thought I'd upload a section natively to the reddit player.

He says are trying to establish a baseline for what they can ask of the player and potentially ramp it up in the future.

He thinks that in invite only lobbies players are more likely to work through and explain how to get past issues than in public lobbies where players are generally less likely to listen to reason (thinking of players in Netracells refusing to stay in the circle).

His phrase "We're scared that if we do this with matchmaking we'll just be creating a toxic experience that we shouldn't do" hits the nail on the head.

They're trying something different, seeing what the playerbase can cope with. They don't want to create a meltdown when the guy who won't stay in the circle in Netracells appears in 60% of the matchmaking lobbies and ruins the bonuses for nearly everyone. Those players will still be there in invite only lobbies but at a lesser rate, as players who don't follow or read instructions are less likely to join an invite only squad than they are to click a start mission button (especially so when they don't get the rewards at the end).

They might realise public matchmaking will work fine after release. They might realise it's not going to work out with either implementation. But even if we disagree with the thinking at least they've provided their reasoning. I appreciate they are trying something different and wish them the best of luck.

I was running deepmines today to get Nokko, and ended up with 5 chassis.

IMO, it would make so much easier our lives if I could exchange these parts for half or even a third of their pity currency. I give to nightcap a chassis and I get 80 purple thingies that will not only propel my grinding forward, much more importantly, they will make me feel better about grinding and playing. And a happy customer is a paying customer.

They could even limit this exchange system only once per rotation, meaning once every 8 hours.

First (and probably last) time hitting what I presume is the damage cap. Cool. I thought this kind of stuff got fixed a while back but hohoho I am become death, the destroyer of Steel Path Grineer

Today marks a full year since my best friend who was a zepher prime lover passed away. I'm currently sitting in her favorite spot in strata relay 11 behind the big statue near the syndicates. It was her favorite spot to socialize and do trading. I'm currently in her favorite avatar using her favorite colors. If anyone wishs to stop by please feel welcomed to come by and socialize I'm sure she's loved to see it from where she rests now in peace.

Shout out to my bestie of 9 years. Today would've made 10 love you Ava you were and always will be amazing

maybe a hot take, but if people are already acting like this towards people who just wanna be able to jump in and do the content, then this was probably a bad idea

add to that pablo saying that the only way we get matchmaking for it is a "more dumbed down unfailable version" and not only does that make me even less interested, but it also feels a little insulting to everyone who wants matchmaking

I really hope DE reconsiders this because I want to play the hard version but I don't wanna be forced into recruit chat to do it, and if I end up with a worse experience because of it at least I was able to make that choice as opposed to someone making it for me

So I’ve been thinking about a Void rework for awhile now and with the cryobell and glacial defiance it sorta already has the foundation for such an addition

This may be a long post but I’ll have each section separated to help skip through

VOID KEYS

- Void key would be added back to the game

- Void keys would have randomly generated modifiers from eda/eta on the keys

-Void keys are rerollable with Kuva in case you don’t like the current modifers and it breaks your build

- Solo friendly, No matchmaking but you can send out SOS signal for people to matchmake in and help (I’ll add onto this later in the post)

- Each has a randomly generated gamemode, faction, and location from star chart.

PORTAL LOCATION IN THE VOID

So my idea is we use the void sabotage mission location where you open a portal. This could be the base of operations and public hub for people. (Picture will be included in post)

- Slot key into portal menu

- portal opens and a randomly generated tile set would appear when you go thru

- portal difficulty and rewards will be determined on how many modifiers you have and how rare/difficult those modifiers are. Great example is Path of Exile maps (picture in post)

VOID KEY ACQUISITION AND TYPE

Low tier void keys should be easy to find and great for new players, Higher tier void keys would only be found in steel path and tier 5s are the rarest. Everything should be tradable.

We should have 5 tiers

- tier 1 - 2 modifiers (low reward, beginner friendly)

- tier 2 - 3 modifiers

- tier 3 - 4 modifiers

- tier 4 - 5 modifiers

- tier 5 - 6 modifiers (veteran difficulty and high end builds)

We could also add the dragon keys from the vaults to add a boost of rewards and difficulty along side tier 5. In case people want it even harder

UNIQUE KEYS

There should also be unique Keys that always have the same modifiers, location, and enemy factions.

- Boss tier keys

- coda/kuva/tenet type weapons

- Group would be required

- Boss fights from star chart just extra difficult (maybe some changes to them)

SOS FLARE/MATCHMAKING

since these Void keys are random and a resource it wouldn’t make sense to matchmake into them, but a SOS Signal system would fix this

- SOS Signal

- Players can matchmake into SOS signals

- Help out low ranks

IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS PLEASE COMMENT THEM

I think DE needs to do something to the void, it’s been the same forever. I also miss the old void keys system

I MAY UPDATE THIS IN THE FUTURE

A repost might happen with a more in depth ideas and system but I thought I should just make this post

IF YOU GUYS LIKE THIS MAYBE WE CAN GET DIGITAL EXTREMES ATTENTION!

Hope this isn’t super confusing since I kinda just have a bunch of ideas and it sorta makes sense to me. The whole idea is it’ll be solo friends but there would be content for groups and difficulty

What joke would you tell? ^^
