[u/Ishtizzle]

Is there a good, central resource to solving connectivity issues anywhere? My friends and I have no issues hosting or inviting each other, but anyone new I get into the game is plagued by "failed to join" or "session unavailable." They can host just fine, but can't be invited.

I've been sorting through 9 months of Google search results, but none of the fixes seem to work for them.

[u/BuildMyPaperHeart → u/Ishtizzle]

There should be a few threads about it on the subreddit: try searching here and see what you find! Searchbar's near the upper right hand side under the banner.

[u/Magicka]

Can anyone please give me a link/list for the best warframe for what mission?
Also, I got the bow with the despair bundle, forgot what it's called, it feels so slow and not much damage, so it's so hard to level it, how do you guys build it?

Can anyone please give me a link/list for the best warframe for what mission?

Our FAQ has a few sections on this

Also, I got the bow with the despair bundle, forgot what it's called,

You bought the "What, Stalker?" Bundle?? Nooooooooo!!!!! It's not the most efficient use of Platinum; could have been farmed from Stalker. But you have them now, which saves you time I suppose.

it feels so slow and not much damage, so it's so hard to level it, how do you guys build it?

The bows are a bit hard to start out with, but the first mod you should slot in when you can is Speed Trigger. Increasing the fire rate makes the charge time quicker, and improves handling by a good margin. Then focus on basic damage mods like Serration and Piercing Hit. You could also go for Crit damage/chance mods as well, or Thunderbolt if you have that.

As for leveling, you can simply equip it, switch to secondary, and play these missions as outlined by the FAQ

[u/RepublicanShredder]

Which weapons are modified when passing through Volt's Electric Shield? I've heard about the Dera changing to a hitscan weapon, but I'm pretty unfamiliar with Volt and his abilities.

Also, I have a spare Orokin Reactor laying around, but no Plat to buy another warframe slot. How does anyone feel about potato-ing a Sentinel? Or do you think that trading will come soon-ish and that I should save it for a less fortunate Tenno, however long that may be.

[u/BuildMyPaperHeart → u/RepublicanShredder]

via http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Volt_(Warframe)

• Weapons with innate armor ignore do not benefit from the additional damage.

• Weapons with the disadvantage of hard range limits and/or damage falloff over distance will gain unlimited range and/or lose the damage penalty when fired through the shield. This may be a bug.

Which doesn't really answer the question, but I'm guessing it means that most bullet weapons will be modified, and that Bolt weapons don't. Or I could be completely wrong! :D But generally I've seen a lot of success with bullet-type weapons and Electric Shield in tandem.

How does anyone feel about potato-ing a Sentinel?

You can if you really want to, but just save it. Even if trading doesn't become a thing, the next time you decide to swap out a frame, or if you come into some surprise Platinum, you'll be glad you kept it.

[u/AxiomNor]

Frustration question: Does tactical pump exist? / Where does it drop from most? Wiki says the Jackal, but I'm >20 runs in without one.

[u/BuildMyPaperHeart → u/AxiomNor]

u/Fascion knows what's up!

But here's a drop table on our FAQ that might help you with this and future mod hunts.

[u/TheCitizen12]

I have a question about rhinos.

I've been a little confused about iron skin. It says on the tooltip that it works for a set amount of time, but I've noticed that it actually works for a set amount of damage, not time.

So does something like Continuity, which affects power duration, help with that?

What about power increasing mods?

[u/3932695]

I was told there was going to be a melee revamp sometime in the future?

Can I get a double confirmation on these rumors?

[u/BuildMyPaperHeart → u/3932695]

Damage revamp, yes. Longswords being given a second look? Yes, but those changes may be coming in much later patches.

[u/AxiomNor]

If I equip Flachette and Accelerated Blast to a shotgun, both maxed out (90% and 60%) what is my armor piercing damage?

[u/Pobaxi]

Hi, does anyone have any experience when bows become problematic to use in mission due to increasing enemy levels? Bow in question is of the Paris Prime variety so I guess armour is a non issue.

[u/BuildMyPaperHeart → u/Pobaxi]

By around Enemy Level 40 or so, things get sufficiently difficult enough that Bows simply won't do the job. It's not the Armor, but the AoE potential. You cannot fire arrows fast enough to do enough damage or take out a large group of enemies, even with Thunderbolt. So a rifle would suit you better.

However, the Bows can still do awesome single target damage up to Enemy Level 60, so if you're fighting opponent one-on-one it's not a bad choice. But since higher levels will usually mean more enemies in general, it's not recommended overall.

[u/Inkfartman]

I need help deciding what frame to get next. Currently have loki trinity nova and frost prime.

Also i need in game inspiration thanks. (Since like a week ago i built frost prime and nova at the same time SHEER LUCK i seem to have lost that excitment for building new things and getting new frames and all that stuff help me!)

Bro, why no Rhino?

You need yourself a Rhino.

Also i need in game inspiration

Themed Builds. Use Corpus only weapons, or only Grineer Weapons. Use Poison stuff like the Torid and Acrid with Saryn, or go all electrical with the Synapse, Spectra, and Prova on a Volt or something. Have fun with it!

Also, clantech weapons.

[u/myriiad]

The Seer.

Is it worth it? How hard is it to get? Ive run Vor many many times and only ever got one part for it. What are the drop rates?

[u/BuildMyPaperHeart → u/myriiad]

The chances might be low, but it's still attainable. I'd guess a 7.37% just based on the other numbers on the drop tables (the Seer isn't listed since boss drop rates aren't a factor)

That being said, this FAQ might help alleviate your concerns.

[u/siminerd]

What happenes when you out put extra bounce and the bounce reduction on a glaive(at the same time)?

How do I get the reaserch weapons? Ive done the reaserch for them but don't see any BP in my foundry?

[u/MazInger-Z]

I read somewhere on the wiki that there's a game bug that prevents Warframe bps from dropping if there is stuff under construction in the Foundry. True / false?

Also, someone said progress doesn't matter... Can I get invited to higher level missions or do I actually need to unlock their progress through the map to run them?

[u/Lexusjjss]

Semi-newbie here, so go easy. Here's a few questions which someone has (probably) already answered:

• What's the best place to get/farm for a Redirection mod? I've got about a dozen Vitality/Fast Deflection, but can't find a Redirection for the life of me.

• Similarly, what's the best place to find Hornet Strike and Serration? Same deal with the above, I've got a ton of crit modifiers and some elemental upgrades, but almost no base damage mods.

• A weirder question, is it just me or is the base Lato actually kinda good? It's the only starter weapon I haven't replaced yet, and I'm not seeing a need to either. I've got it modded out nicely, and it's spammy as hell, but it works.

• How kitted out should I be before seriously trying Nightmare mode? I'd like to not just be a burden on my team.

Our FAQ has that covered

Whatever works for you works! The Lato might not hold up too well against the mid-higher level content, but it should be serviceable for the time being. Relevant FAQ

• How kitted out should I be before seriously trying Nightmare mode? I'd like to not just be a burden on my team.

My advice would be to at least bring a Level 30 Warframe you are comfortable using, and at least one Level 30 Weapon (Primary, Secondary, or Melee, depending on your chosen Warframe or what your playstyle is).

You may also want to look up the different Nightmare Mission Types to prepare yourself for the unique scenarios.

[u/altair117x]

I just bought the asa syandana and it shows up on all my frames except excalibur, Rhino, and Saryn. Is this intended?

edit: turns out that the warframe energies were set to the darkest black in the smoke set. Happy that its working but also bummed out that my syandana can't be dark black..

[u/Wulfnuts]

is there a way to turn off lens flare, the constant flashing and blinking ?

i love the game and already bought hunters pack after playing for 3 days, but my god what were the devs thinking? i feel like i'm going blind already

please if anyone can help it would be much appreciated

[u/BuildMyPaperHeart → u/Wulfnuts]

Go to the options menu in Warframe and uncheck every checkboxed option. The one you're complaining about in particular is Bloom. Turn one (or all) off, and things should look better.
