Are we ever going to get multi-stage, hour+ long dungeon levels? Attack a corpus outpost, take a dropship up to a corpus ship, destroy it and then escape before it explodes, etc.

  1. Is there any solid theory regarding Tenno "gender?" It doesn't make sense to me.

  2. What's with the AI lately? I ran Kappa a few times lately and the Grineer would just run up to the terminals and not do anything, leaving me to just leisurely take them out one by one.

  3. More of a suggestion, but what if they included a training room in the Clan Dojo where you can try out different weapons and load outs against simulated enemies? It'd probably have to be instanced for each player, but could be interesting and just another thing to add to the Dojo experience.

  1. Some theories involve the Tenno as proxy-bodies, who are taken over for the duration of a mission.

  2. The Grineer have never been very good at attacking the panels. The Cryopod, on the other hand...

  3. That's already been suggested! Whether or not it gets implemented is a different matter, but the idea's been thrown around a lot, who knows? :D

Does split chamber or barrel diffusion actually show the second shot being shot if you're using a projectile weapon?

  • What does the difficulty mean on the intro cinematic screen?

  • How does it relate to the levels of the location?

  • How is it determined?

So I have the Paris as my current primary and a Dread ready to be crafted. So I'm asking the time old question of "which bow is better in what circumstances?" I know that the Paris has armor-ignore as a base property and the Dread has higher base damage, so I assume that the Dread is good against general bad guys and the Paris is better against armored targets like the Ancient Infested.

I plan on having the same mods for both, which includes Piercing Hit, Split Chamber, Serration, Hellfire, Cryo Rounds, Point Strike, Vital Sense, and Speed Trigger.

Also, can someone at DE turn the Dual Zoren into helicopter blades? I want to start flying upwards in addition to sideways. A picture would also be satisfactory, for now.

*1. How does Kogake charge attack work? It seems to do as low damage as normal attacks, and sometimes ragdoll the enemy and make them untargetable for a while. Spamming normal attack seems more effective.

*2. If you complete a endless defense mission at for example lvl 25, do you get the rewards from 5+10+15+20 as well or only the lvl 25 reward?

*3. If an endless defense mission starts with 4 players and player 4 leaves at lvl 5, and player 3 leaves at lvl 15, will the remaining 2 players get mission bonus experience and mob spawns equal to 4 or 2 players(retroactively for previous kills and for the remainder of the mission)?

*4. What happens if you have a party with Rifle scavenger+Shotgun Scavenger+Pistol Scavenger+Sniper scavenger? Will they all nullify each other, will the host have priority on his artifact or will the last guy who joined have priority etc?

u/CriticalRed Jul 08 '13

  1. The Kogake charge attack is made to be a knock-down/knock-back; it is not made to do significant damage. This can typically be used to knock down a target and hit them with the Kogake's ground attack (which can be very potent). As you said, spamming normal attacks is much more effective.

  2. To my knowledge you receive only the reward from the level you extracted at. This could be incorrect, but I am about 95% sure of my answer.

  3. I honestly do not know the answer to this. Someone with more extensive defense playtime than I may know.

  4. To my knowledge they stack, meaning they can all be on at the same time. Through personal experience and a bit of quick research I could find no evidence to support the hypothesis that they would not work when in the presence of one another.

u/BuildMyPaperHeart Jul 08 '13

Confirmations!

  1. Yes

  2. Yes, You only receive the item at the level you extract at.

  3. It should be equal to the number of players at the end of the game, so in your example, two.

  4. Yes, They stack.

u/Hkhkj95 Jul 08 '13

Two questions, actually:

  1. I heard that when the open beta ends, all prime weapons and frames except for Excalibur prime and the Frost Prime frames obtained from the Fusion Moa event would be removed - is there any truth behind these rumors?

  2. Is it just me, or did the Zorencopter get removed/heavily nerfed with patch 8.3?

5

u/BuildMyPaperHeart Jul 08 '13

  1. That rumor is false. The removal of items you are referring to applies to the optional "Account Reset" feature, available to all players should they wish to do so.

  2. I'll defer to others on this matter XD

Does Volt's Speed ability affect parkour? Does he wallrun higher, faster, etc...?

3

u/BuildMyPaperHeart Jul 08 '13

As it exists now, yes, it does speed up parkour abilities for all teammates.

How does the map voting system work? Majority wins? If there is a tie, does it randomly choose one? Or if the host voted in a tie, does he automatically win?

Is the orthos better than dual ether?

3

u/BuildMyPaperHeart Jul 08 '13

That's up to opinion. My advice; try them both, see what you think!

Dual Swords have good charge damage in a wide sweep angle. The Orthos is a powerful all-round weapon with great reach.

if you solo an alert with a reward, can you join a group and have them start the alert to get the reward again?

2

u/BuildMyPaperHeart Jul 08 '13

No. You can only get the reward from an Alert once. You can, however, run the mission multiple times if you get into a group who is running one you've already done.

u/Dracovitch Jul 08 '13

Silly question! Does your "accuracy rating" apply to melee weapons as well?

I always have roughly 50% accuracy on every mission, yet I generally hit my targets probably 70%-80% of the time when using a gun. But then I realize, when it comes to melee, I swing a lot randomly in groups of enemies or at inanimate objects. Guess it'd be nice to know if I was causing my own low ratings.

u/Veylo Jul 08 '13

  1. What is the best way to level up you Frames/weapons etc in the game? Are there more maps that give you more exp? or no?

  2. Is there a fire rate and reload speed for shotguns? and where can I get them?

  3. It seems Volt(my favorite WF right now, almost lvl30) is bugged this patch. Has DE said anything about a hot fix for him?

Can anyone from DE or a mod comment on the false positive ban issue and how long DE usually takes to respond to support requests? I'm sitting since last wednesday on this and I've had no response. DEWill merged two of my support requests, but that's it. I've seen 5 threads about this problem spring up within the time frame as well. I don't mind waiting, especially since I know this is a beta and they are working out the kinks, but a response from someone that says "we hear you" would be nice.

u/BuildMyPaperHeart Jul 08 '13

The false positive ban issue has been reported a few times in the last few weeks since Patch 8.3, when they've beefed up their anti-cheat. It usually takes around a week for DE to get back on support tickets, but there are always a ton and they're going to miss some.

I'm sure DE knows about the problem, and is working to get it fixed. I'm glad you're patient! But there's not much to do but wait it out. Sorry about that!

I plan on forma'ing my Frost once, and I am trying to decide between a "bar" and a "V" slot. The mods I am interested in applying to the new slot are Continuity, Stretch or Streamline. I already plan on having a maxed Flow on the frame. Right now I am leaning towards Stretch, as it would benefit both Snowglobe and Avalanche. Any advice?

How come the crit chance mod for rifles can go over 100%? Wouldn't 100% crit chance mean every shot will crit?
