The change to arcanes was great for me. I had bought the blueprints for four fully ranked arcanes in advance, and the hotfix turned them all into crafted items. Instant grofit! Nef Anyo would be proud.
I'm really liking the remaster too, and the bounty consoles have saved me a few loading screens already.

Okay guys, who's on PC and would like to carry a newb because he got stuck like 2 years ago on a story quest with a guy he can't kill and ditched the game afterwards out of frustration (among other things...). Asking for a friend (also, that's actually me).
I pretty much forgot how to WASD in this game and apparently more shit got changed again. So if some of you are okay carrying with all your super cool warframes and prime guns, that'd be ace.
Wanted to give the game a go again the other day, but then I remembered why I stopped playing last time.

Welcome back, glad you are giving this game another chance! If you have been gone for 2 years, you are in for a mountain of new content. My suggestion is to sample a little of everything: quests, nodes, open worlds, ... while giving yourself a few short-term goals (like getting a specific warframe, or a specific prime, ...). The RNG still reigns supreme, but the advantange of being gone for so long is that you can split the grind among many, many different activities!
I am myself just coming back (slowly) from a hiatus, trying to figure out how to avoid further burnout. I am usually playing during European evenings, and would be happy to help you out with any mission, or question, or anything (also, providing whichever essential mods you might still need!). In-game name same as here, feel free to shoot me a FR!
Let's lift together, Tenno!

Thank you. Easiest for me on weekends I guess, I'm one hour ahead of Eastern Standard Time. More or less what's your time zone? I guess my goal was always to advance with the main quest, but honestly I think it's time to try and farm for rare mods or relics or something, I want to get some plat (without actually buying plat) so the idea is just to start selling whatever I get. I recently discovered some sort of website that allows you to sell or buy stuff? without the hassle of the ingame trade/dojo thing that I always found to be a bit annoying. I just want a place where you can leave your items and F off to do something else without contacting people or waiting, and let the computer handle the sales. EDIT: OOF 9Gb update. LOL forgot Steam doesn't autoupdate this game, you first gotta fire the actual launcher. Well, that will take some hours.

I am GMT +3, so not exactly next door to you...
Your plan is sound IMO, I remember hitting a wall while rushing the starchart; getting a few real good mods and guns fixes that problem also, playing around with all the frames and the million weapons is what makes the game fun! That said, it is worth to go for the Second Dream and the War Within quests, as they open up a ton of new content - you can easily leave most quests for later though!
Getting some plat off trades is handy, and it is not very hard to getting a steady trickle of plat (enough to keep buying slots for your toys), but I am going to have to disappoint you, you can't do away with the clunky trade system entirely; you still need to meet folks in a dojo and interact with them. That said, external sites (I am going to assume you found warframe.market) allow you to bypass the trade chat entirely, while at the same time allowing you to better gauge what an item's value is - for those two reasons alone, setting yourself up on warframe.market is very worth it (for the record, I avoid trade chat like the plague, and having an automated system handling trades would be a dream come true for me, even if it'd end up crashing the market for most tradeable items).
Final note, many essential mods have a 100% drop rate in friendly dojos. I for one keep every copy I find of the most important mods, just in case someone might need them...

OOF I'm GMT -3. So it's 6 hours of difference. Oh balls, so the Warframe market website still requires you to be in game and deal with other players? fuck me. Why don't they create a proper market? I don't get it, don't people ask for it in the forums and shit? this is super weird honestly. I don't see why it wouldn't be beneficial to have an automated place to sell and buy items.

I don't have much trading experience, the only things I ever really traded for are Syndicate augments and archgun/melee parts, i.e. my Syndicate thing for yours. However, if you're looking to add some punch to your arsenal and aren't afraid to put in a bit of time, head to Fortuna and grind some Solaris United standing. From that, buy the component blueprints for a Catchmoon kitgun (I suggest Haymaker and Splat for the other parts). It may look like a hairdryer, but it's basically a pocket plasma shotgun that will serve you with distinction for the foreseeable future. If you're looking for a quicker improvement, the Atomos blueprint can be bought for credits from the in-game Market at MR 5. Handheld flamers never go out of style. Feel free to friend me in game! I'm not playing much at the moment, but if I'm online (name is the same as here, GMT +1), I'm always happy to help with a mission or a mod or other that might be collecting dust somewhere. Right now I have a pile of spare Sharpshooter mods that Arbitration trolled me with... bit of a niche thing, but I find it useful on a silenced Rubico with Ivara - never run out of energy while staying invisible!

Having done it already, I don't think I can assist, but I have an alt account I could help on if you like. Can't really remember honestly. All I recall is a main story boss fight... I remember him flying? ... niche. I remember reading the wiki to figure how to kill the fucker, he has ferrite armor or some shit and you needed a very specific weapon/s with specific mods for synergy, so your bullets could go through. Remember doing it once, did jackshit to him while wasting literally all my ammo. I had no ammo left and barely scratched him. Ultimately, I just want someone to run some quests or something, at this point not even to advance on the story. Usually I prefer to play my games solo, but I'm really tired of soloing Warframe I feel like I'm just running around like headless chicken not achieving much and at the same time I'm effing overwhelmed by the amount of stuff. Granted, I don't have much in the way of gear and guns, so I'd probably be deadweight, but anyways that's why I was talking about the "carrying" part originally.

Yeah, he's a bit of a a pain even with good gear, what with his constant flying around, adds, health regen, shield/energy disruption, and fiddly hitboxes. He's required for the Sedna junction IIRC. I could help if you want, sure, just let me know. If you have trouble with Vay Hek though you'll probably have troubles on Sedna as well and in the 4th arm of the void beyond Sedna.

I read "flying" and I got horrible flashbacks of trying to solo the Raptor on Europa with starter equipment and without serration. crashsuit probably has the better guess though, and yes, Vay Hek is an enormously annoying bullet sponge early on. Do not judge Warframe on its boss design, it's IMO the weakest part of the game.
Time difference means realistically we could join up only if you like to play in the early afternoon, so perhaps weekends? If you ever see me online, give me a shout, let's do something together!
Some more advice that might come in handy (or not). As Gileadan mentioned, the Atomos is a secondary that is worth building early, and remains strong all the way into end game. For primaries, I strongly suggest building a Hek shotgun. Unlike the atomos, it will get outstripped eventually by far better primaries, but it outputs obscene amounts of damage that will help you go through the starchart while still starved for proper mods.
Hoping to catch you soon in-game!

An update to keep this thread on the front page while I wait for Baro to show up.
Got the final piece for Loki prime, and the RNG definitely blessed me, it dropped on my third axi L4 relics... have seen only one more relic since, have burned out on Marduk, and have so far gotten none from syndicate relic packs
I have finally reached max standing with solaris united, and gotten myself my first kitgun - a tombfinger for which I have a pretty sweet riven. Still formaing it and it already hits like truckload of bricks! I am on the fence when it comes to kitguns and zaws honestly: fisherfolks and down-on-their-luck rebels mixing-and-matching crap suddenly come up with creations that are, to quote someone, "the pinnacle of the warsmith's art"? I understand power creep, but dang.
I have dipped into Vox Solaris too, and imagine my surprise when I realized that the Exploiter Orb is actually a great boss fight! Probably a first for me (I did like Tyl Regor actually, but he drops equinox, so I ended up seeing him a liiiittle too much). Even solo, it's neatly designed, has tight phases, no bullshit moves, there is always something to shoot at, there is a sense of progression, and eventually the fight proceeds to the next stage even if you can't counter the little cooling spiders (unlike Eidolons and their bullshit vomvalyst healing *cough* *cough*). I could do with less than three phases once you are outdoor, but I understand a full group would have too easy of a time otherwise. Hopefully DE manages to create more boss fights like that one...
... and not like the profit-taker. Now this fight is more in-line with DE's track record I will grind it and get my cores out of it, but dang, it makes geth in ME3 mp feel fair. Heist 2 is equally annoying when it comes to stagger, but at least it's short.
And finally, I have a kuria statuette in my orbiter, yay! Got the super-rare extration tile on Ceres randomly, and from there to looking for a guide, to deciding to complete the hunt just seemed to happen on its own.
Big update coming next week, and a new event! It's a great time to be playing warframe

Kitguns are ridiculously powerful. I don't have a Tombfinger yet, but I do have a Rattleguts and a Catchmoon one, both with okay rivens that mostly balance out their weak points, making them more pleasant to use instead of even more powerful. The Rattleguts is a rapid fire weapon with a reasonable crit and status chance that's great for everything on the star map, and the Catchmoon is basically a one handed Arca Plasmor with unlimited punch-through through enemies and ridiculous damage output, though with limited range and projectile travel time. Both have a Pax Charge arcane so they don't need any ammo. I have yet to try the Exploiter Orb since I tend to do everything solo whenever possible. How hard is it compared to the Profit-Taker? I can manage that fight on my own, with some gritted teeth and muttered curses, but I only do it whenever I get a resource booster from the login rewards so I can pick up two toroids instead of one for my troubles. Congratulations on the Kuria statuette! Finally, I would heartily recommend the Larkspur archgun that came with Fortuna if you haven't tried it yet. I know archguns are not considered important equipment by many players, but now that they are required as heavy weapons for some boss fights and the upcoming Railjack update will feature some archwing action, getting a good archgun may be worth looking into. Before the Larkspur, I used the Imperator Vandal for everything, but the Larkspur is my new favourite. The primary fire is like a gigantic Atomos - limited range but jumps to other enemies over a good distance which makes obliterating big packs quick and easy, and the secondary fire launches a big energy projectile for longer distance work. Satellite defense has never been so easy.

Thanks for the kitguns reviews! I keep seeing the Catchmoon being described as the best weapon in the game right now, not sure if I want to get it yet and make the rest of my arsenal irrelevant
Will heed your advice and get myself the Larkspur, should pair well with the hildryn I just took out of the oven!
The exploiter orb is completely doable solo, and definitely easier than the profit-taker; in exchange, it's pretty hard to speed it up. It's long (as it should be), and the exploiter hits pretty hard, especially in the first phase; since I don't have any of the healing arcanes (and only have Zenurik), I am still relying on frames that can regenerate health.
Phase 1 is short and sweet, though it can be a little frustrating - you have to hit specific points of the orb with a grenade-like projectile before you can destroy them, and said weakpoints could stand out a little more.
Phase 2 is the bulk of the fight, and it's conceptually pretty similar to the Teralyst (which I finally captured for the first time solo recently! Trinity for the win), in that the boss is immune to everything but one gimmick, and has an horde of helpers that you need to deal with. Unlike eidolons however, the gimmick is specific to the fight (so no frustrating helplessness early on, and cheesing super-speed later), the helpers are fully vulnerable to your weapons, and the fight will eventually proceed to the next stage if it takes you too long (and solo it will, the little helping spider thingies are too fast and come from too many directions). Also, the arena is a great open space, and the Exploter attacks are well telegraphed.
I like it as a solo. Despite its length, there is always something to do, and the rewards are very nice (the toroid it drops counts for twice the standing than the one dropped by the profit-taker). Good luck whenever you decide to take it on!

Congratulations on capturing the Teralyst! Trinity is also my first choice, especially if I go for the next bigger guy too because she's just best at nannying the lures. If I'm just going for the Teralyst, Oberon is a nice alternative that requires very little attention towards the lures, other than checking whether his Renewal is still on. I finally got around to killing the Exploiter Orb, and everything you said is pretty much spot on. It's quite a long fight, so much shorter in a group and way more pleasant than the constantly hectic Profit-Taker. The hardest part was probably the lack of objective markers - I ran around like an idiot the first time the game told me to "make condensed thermia". I've also played around with the Jovian Concord update. Wisp is a great new warframe with a ton of synergies going on. And her signature gun, the Fulmin, is one of my new favourite primaries. It is very versatile - it has two fire modes, a silenced (!) plasma shotgun with 3m enemy punch-through and a very accurate non-silenced full auto, plus a self-recharging magazine, making it useful under almost any circumstances. It is also a good weapon to use Heavy Caliber with since the full auto barely loses accuracy from it, if any. A nice touch is that the warframe actually removes or reattaches the silencer when switching fire modes, and when the silencer is removed, it is held in the left hand while the gun is leaning on that hand's wrist while aiming. Very fun gun.

Yes, in pure DE fashion, the Exploiter orb is very poorly explained but hey, at least Eudico is just incompetent (who should take wetwork one-oh-one from Biz now? ), unlike the Lotus, who straight-out told you to do opposite of what you were supposed to do in kuva syphons - the dialogue has been revamped now, but in light of certain recent... story events... one wonders how much of that little spiel was a blunder by DE
I have in the meantime proceeded to solo capturing the Gantulyst reliably; Trinity is pretty much a must (at least until I start working on the Vazarin school). Getting a 223 amp was such an improvement; not just in damage, but the shots seem to track nearby vomvalysts quite reliably, allowing me to basically focus-fire the big guys without fear of getting swarmed. I have attempted the Hydrolyst once, and was down to the last Synovia when the morning sun vanquished the horrible night. I did a few mistakes, I think, and I suspect I could capture it already with some luck, but honestly that fight is a huge pain, so I have decided to stick to the first two 'lons while I work on operator arcanes and focus schools. Once I am better prepared though...
I have built Wisp, but barely played her. Somehow I ended up getting Garuda, Hyldrin, Baruuk and Wisp at about the same time. Her 1 is certainly amazing... though her moveset might be the best thing out of her kit, I am seriously considering dropping the plat to unlock her agile stance for all frames... Of the other frames, Baruuk has potential, but I am not sure I enjoy his particular playstyle. Hyldrin is great and probably amazing in groups. I am, to my own surprise, enjoying Garuda the most out of the lot. I think it's because her kit is not only coherent, but her synergies are, like Nidus' and Saryn's, not fixed; you have to read the situation and react to it, choose the most appropriate skill for the moment. This is in contrast with frames such as Gara and Harrow which, while being amazing, only really work best by using their powers in a fixed sequence, thus removing player agency from their playstyle.
But enough ramblings I only want to add that DE gets full marks from me for the Jupiter rework, looks amazing, plays amazing, and zero performance issues!

I just realized that at MR20 I'm probably the scrub in this thread. I just got to rank 19 and I think I won't make it to 20, seems very unlikely. For some reason, I tend to focus on improving what I like to use instead of trying everything out. Although, hopefully, I get all frames eventually. So far missing Trinity and its prime, Nyx prime, Harrow and Khora. Volt-P and Loki-P should be acquired soon as I have the relics, just need to cash in. Oh, and there is this new Wisp. Have not got her yet, I generally dislike the buggy boss fights with obscure mechanics. I'm spending majority of time optimizing the weapons that fit my playstyle and trying to stay away from the meta as much as reasonably possible. I have not even started on Eidolons and have not killed a single Profit Taker, although the Exploiter fight is kind of cool. It is very much possible to solo, even for really scrubby players.
I bought only 2 frames with plat from the trade chat, Rhino-P and Necros-P. Both are essential IMHO and are vaulted like forever. Most of the plat made it back thanks to some lucky riven rolls.

They all say that about MR, and then one day they realize they "only" have to grind K-board points to get to MR27 (Those days are still in the future for me, though archwings and operator prisms are starting to give me a strange look...).
Seriously, there's nothing wrong in not caring about MR, and sticking to what you find fun! That's the great thing about Warframe IMO, there's just so much to do!
If you are on PC, I have a spare Trin P set with your name on it Trin is the rare frame that is universally useful: any mission, any level, any team composition, or going solo, she is always welcome, and her regular version is locked behind the obnoxious Ambulas grind. I will be happy to help you experience her playstyle!
Good luck with the other frames you are still hunting, Tenno!

I love the K-drive movement, just don't feel like using it in a group. I do use them when mining/fishing/capture hunting in Fortuna on my own. Groups are always rushing somewhere, so archwing is mandatory. I also like archwings, although some missions are very poorly designed. The hated Golem mission is kind of good for me, I even help some people in the recruitment chat to get it done if I have time. Prisms, on the other hand, are not that attractive IMO. I generally don't like to overuse the operator. Maybe, more focus is needed to make it better, but then it gets into cheesy side of things. I still have not unbound any way-passive. It is only a couple of SO/ESO runs per day to get 250K quota. But then, you have to multiply it times 4 and times 10 and times whatever. This makes the experience too grindy and stale for me, so I tend to avoid it. If you are on PC, I have a spare Trin P set with your name on it Thanks, I have one or two parts, iirc. I might have something to offer for a trade. I do like the trading system and spend a lot of time farming relics/mods and in trade chat. Also, have been farming some kuva occasionally. Cannot stand more than an hour of that per week however.

Just in case anyone somehow missed it, Plague Star is live again on all platforms. Even disregarding all the other good standing rewards, you can get a fully built forma for each max level run.

Tried out the ropalolyst fight in Hope's of simply farming wisp. Got to say I hate the fight, just isn't fun for me, those 1 shot blazers are just cheap. Ended up just buying Wisp with Plat.
DE really need improve their boss battles, they often feel needlessly clunky. I feel this is where they largely miss the mark

IDK, the battle is OK imho, better than a few others. It is not too tedious also, can be done in 15 minutes if you know what you doing. Some mechanics are cheap, so a durable frame helps a lot, as usual in this type of content. Or you can act the hero part, run the ropes and ride the bird, does not need anything for that. Also, very much soloable, actually may go faster than with a group.
The Plague event, on the other hand, bores me substantially. I have run it probably close to a dozen time or slightly more as I have about 50K points the in Operational supply. Now, the question is what to do with these points. I can either max one Exodia, which I most certainly don't need and most likely won't use never ever, or simply get a few formas? The problem with forma is that I have so many BP that it is constantly cooking in the forge and I have a steady supply of it going smoothly at a steady rate. So, technically speaking, getting some extra would only disturb my rhythm of upgrades and force a faster rate.
On a bright side, I traded a Gram riven with +CC, melee damage, and electricity and - Corpus damage. It was a low roll bad riven (with like minus 100% SC) which I traded for some rare prime part and slightly over 100 plat and rolled it with Nightwave kuva 7 or 8 times. Now, I cannot decide what to do with it. Either roll some more, sell, or use as it is. Performance is quite ridiculous but it is hard to do a hybrid build with this one. I can set either critical (with Bladed rounds) or status (with condition overload) but not both because the riven does not have any speed bonus. Also, what if melee 3.0 will finally fix the Gram or if they lower the riven disposition, which is currently 5/5?

Yeah ur right its short battle.I think the frustration stems from the fact that the first time I tried I was Trinity Prime and died a few times trying to revive a pug who stood still and wouldn't revive himself. These lazers were 1-shotting me so I couldn't even heal.
2nd attempt I learnt my lesson and played Inaros, trouble again was the pigs who were making it difficult to kitte the chicken to those electrified platforms.
Cant be bothered to do plague star again, I have a lot of formal blueprints and the resources needed to build them. I did just farm for the Spectre vandal and Glaxion vandal, that event was pretty fun.

I can say with a great deal of confidence that the riven disposition will almost certainly be altered given how powerful the Gram currently is. If ur low on Plat then now might be a good time to sell.
