I feel like I should be looking at this game. I respect what I understand of their business approach, and like shooting it up as Sci-Fi style. How tough would it be for a total newcomer to jump into Warframe in the next few months? Is there an impossible amount of catch-up to be done, or is that a non-issue?

Hey @lvca, I promise to not use the Sarpa for the next run on the Razorback.
That was something else. I tend to forget how big of an impact armour has on damage, since soloing means mostly relying on viral and slash to bypass it, but dang the razorback went down like a chump! Next time, let's bring corrosive projections and see if we can turn it into scrap even faster!

It is never a bad time to jump into Warframe There is a huge amount of content by now in the game, but none of it is strictly necessary, so it is mostly a non-issue. Warframe is very modular by design (or lack thereof), you take what you like and leave what you don't. If the game sets its claws in you, eventually you will get to all the content you care to explore.
That said, the starting experience can be a bit underwhelming: the opening quest does not do a very good job at explaining the mechanics of the game, and is even worse at outfitting you (giving you only second class weapons and mods). To counter this, I suggest getting familiar with the wiki, as well as sending out a few FR to people in your timezone - other players will be happy to help you make sense of what is happening, and will help you get some of the essential mods to jumpstart your space ninja career
Hope to see you in-game soon!

Thanks for the answers and the good advice on getting started. This game is defintely on my radar. It's Sci-Fi action; it's been going for years; and it seems to just keep improving with no end in sight. Add to that the fact that I get positive, trustworthy "reviews" here, and I'm defintely giving it a long look. It's mostly a matter of when I have the health and focus to jump into it, at this point.

Glad you've seen this before becoming annoyed with running the hunt again and again. Won't be in tonight, but tomorrow should be fine.

It's been about 30+ runs and I still haven't gotten meme strike. Host migrations have been appearing constantly. I know it's that new router / modem / ISP. FUCK YOU SPECTRUM.

Hopefully it takes long enough so that I can experience the full meme-ness of it Patch notes: "In an effort to increase interactivity and create more engaged, interesting gameplay, the following changes have been made to Maiming Strike: the mod will now work multiplicatively instead of additively; it will also be made incompatible with True Steel; from now on, Maiming Strike will not trigger on a slide attack, but on charged strikes, and only if channeling; furthermore, it will have a 20 seconds cooldown bewteen uses."
I have a riven with a similar +crit chance on slide for the (prisma) skana, and combining it with blood rush makes it absolutely obscene. Enjoy Maiming Strike while it lasts! (I am with @howyummy on this one, don't expect DE to revise melee any time soon).
The more I think about it, the more I wonder if it wouldn't be better for DE to release mods with similar effects to blood rush and condition overload, but for guns! Instead of nerfing melee, resolve the current disparity that way; have combo counters that increase damage for guns too (SRs already do this, and DE has been adding combo mechanics to a number of guns lately), and then you can have mods that add scaling + crit chance/+ damage based on status procs that build up to combat increasing levels of armour/hp. Sprinkle in more minibosses like noxes to help re-build a counter that has decayed. Since mod space is already severely limited on guns (no stances either!), there would be trade-offs to be made. Are you going to be using one gun exlusively to keep the counter up? how about hybrid crit/status builds? I guess it would probably break the game in two, but I figured it was worth putting it out there. I for one would like to start seeing constant red crits on guns too!

I have a Rabvee riven with the memestrike effect. Just I couple it with Berserker. Is pretty fun. I cast warcry and then maybe a volt cast speed and I can barely click fast enough in between the attacks. With a friggen POLEARM hammer.

Finally after farming 120 000 alloy plate I could build the kavat incubator segment and breed myself a pretty kitty cat. Now I can stop playing the game, since I've accomplished everything worth accomplishing.

With Khora and Wukong cooking in the foundry, I now have farmed and (almost) built at least one instance of every type of frame in the game (I still miss some vaulted primes, but have their non-prime counterpart). In a couple of days I will be able to use every ability available to me, feels good
The worst grind must have been Ivara, though admittedly the RNG was incredibly kind to me when it came to Mesa (3 runs), Saryn (4 runs, including the bit for chroma), Equinox (12 runs) and Nidus (and thank the Lotus, after that damn quest and all those index runs!)
All I need now is about a hundred thousand weapons, archwing stuff, all the pets (ALL of them), zaws and amps, arcanes, all the mods, conclave sigils and skins...
... I am never going to uninstall this game, am I?

Nice! I miss Nova Prime and Mag Prime... both were vaulted before I started playing less than a year ago and they have not been unvaulted since. Because I'm a lazy bastard I actually didn't build every warframe available to me yet. Even those I could simply buy from the lab. I do have arcanes/exodias on my warframes, zaws, amps and operator though! I kinda farmed Ivara by accident. My worst grind was the Shell Shock mod (because 100% status Tigris Prime). 100+ runs of Hive Sabotage with 3 caches found. Ugh. (upside: I know all cache locations in my sleep now)

All that alloy plate grinding was a bit too much for me, I really didn't enjoy it much, but at least it is done now. I won't probably ever do such grind again if I can avoid it. Just let the components slowly accumulate on their own.
I am getting anxious to see what the upcoming update will bring. I really want to get my own walker pet.
