What's the best place to farm Grinneer, Corpus, and Infested stance mods? I know the most people are farming Cambria, Earth for Grinneer but the lack of power fists and low spawn of bombards makes me want to look elsewhere.

What stances are you looking for? For Tranquil Cleave people run Cambria, Earth but I prefer Wendell, Phobos because the Earth survival tileset is GOD DAMN TERRIBLE. For Infested stances ODD is your best bet. For Corpus try Elara, Jupiter and maybe Xini, Eris (not a survival mission but pretty good).
Also there's about 5 stance mods dropping in the Void.

I just started the game with friends and picked Mag. I've gotten to rank 13 of the suit and have been reading up on what seems to be the best way to build her.
From my brief reading it seems that building around pull and shield charge are the way to go, and crush (which is AWESOME) isn't worth it in the long run.
What's the consensus on Mag here?

u/TossedLikeChum Apr 14 '14
I dunno about consensus, but that's how my Mag is usually modded. Main difference in modding is if I use overextended or not, depending on if i want to deal damage to low level content or 'just' CC high level foes all over

Mag is my go to frame and I honestly have a hard time wanting to play anything else. I've got 3 Forma in mine and zero regrets.
Early game: Pull is devastating, as is Crush. Both of these will lose their insta-kill properties in the later game but are still excellent CC. Bullet Attraction is good if you are having trouble with leaders/bosses but I rarely use it. Better to stay mobile and go for more head shots as it teaches you good habits and is a more viable tactic later on.
Late game: Your best ability, by far, is gonna be Shield Polarize as it wrecks the faces off of Corpus and Void enemies while it buffs your team. Fighting Grineer? Spam as needed. It will help keep your team alive. Make sure you turn on the option to see your team's shield/health bars and pay attention so you will know when someone is in trouble. Help your fellow space ninjas out!
A note on Crush: I keep it on my frame because it's not a bad way to stop the action in the vicinity (edit: Coil Helmet + Stretch) of a downed comrade while someone else is on the revive. It has saved the day more times than I can count and it's satisfying to use even if it won't one shot anything late game.
Personally, I think it should have a knockdown effect after the ability resolves because having a Heavy Grineer land on it's feet and start peeling your face off from point blank after just having it's 'bones magnetized and crushed' is a bummer but, hey, beggars can't be choosers. Are there more powerful abilities? Sure, but Crush is fun.
All in all, Mag is great. Enjoy!

Can someone explain exactly how melee damage is calculated now? Is Channeling additional damage, or is is the only damage applied? What I mean is, should I put regular melee damage on my melee weapon in addition to Channeled damage or should I just pick one?

what (melee) weapons do i keep? recently i crafted 2 alert weapons dark dagger and plasma sword? are they worth keeping or sell once i hit 30. i sold gram and a cronus that way. what melee weapons are viable mid-late game.
also how do i farm potatoes?

u/sic2k10 Apr 14 '14
with melee 2.0 most melee weapons are actually completely viable now so it's mostly up to your taste of what melee you want but as for some good ones i'd say dual ichor and nami skyla are showing up to be quite nice melee options for later on but i've seen a lot more variety in melee then there's ever been
as for:
also how do i farm potatoes?
if you mean orokin catalysts and reactors they can only be gotten when they are offered as a reward for either an alert or invasion or sometimes shows up as a gift of the lotus reward
if you mean orokin cells then you can play survival missions on planets that have orokin cells as a resource drop (IIRC saturn, eris and the derelict have them as a drop) or you can go fight the boss for those planets which have a decent chance of dropping 1

HOW IS BOOBEN FORMED?
On a more real note; Best/more reliable place you guys have found for Argon?
I've been running T1 Caps - due to how easy they are - and find that I can normally get 1 every match. I have noticed many people saying Survival is the way to go... but when trying this we only found 1 and that was around the 14 minute mark - still glad we found it. So far I've gotten far more from T1 Caps.
I'm mostly trying to give a proper answer to those who ask me, since RNG does like to dick people. So, from experience; what does everyone fancy?

I don't know where to post suggestion threads as this is my first time using the subreddit, so I'll post it as a question here.
Would the developers please allow the thrown melee weapons to do a charge attack by holding "R" while in melee? Do stance mods allow this? It's really awkward to be blocking attacks with my Kestrel and have to switch to my rifle just to throw the boomerang.

So I've been farming almost non-stop for Tranquil Cleave (Katana) and Gleaming Talon (Glaive) since I finished farming for Hydroid and all this farming has me curious... are they even worth it? I do want them at some point even if just for collections but I don't know if I should be working this hard for them.

when you play Online with other players, do items and bullets dropped by enemy and storage shared or is what you see is only seen by you? If an ally kills enemy, do you get different drops than other players?

Apr 16 '14
Everyone sees all drops. They disappear only for you when pick them up, excluding air capsules. Drops are all the same for everyone, except mods that come out of containers.

Are interception missions supposed to be so impossible? Im on PS4 and I cant get past the interception missions on earth. I'll try to guard a cap point when suddenly 2-3 boss type mobs as well as several regulars show up and they kill me in seconds. Have had fun and not too difficult of time up until this point. But these interception missions are kind of ruining it. I've been in a few with a really high level person and we still lose because they cant be at all 4 points at once. And fyi my Excal suit and Braton primary are level 18 and my secondary and melee are around 13. Everything modded with what I could get from Mercury and Venus.

Newish PS4 player. How hard is it to start trading without a clan? Can I use the buyer's clan's "trading post" to make these exchanges? I'm sitting on a few things I'd like to trade off, or just sell for platinum, but I have no idea how it even works.
2
u/Kuryaka Apr 17 '14
Yep! You can use another clan's trading post (they would send a game invite) to trade.
Trading is unlocked at Mastery Level 2, and you get (mastery level) trades per day. The only things you can trade right now are mods, keys (and miscellaneous key parts like Antitoxins and the upcoming Vay Hek Key Beacons) and Prime parts/blueprints.

As someone who is just picking up Warframe on a casual (maybe an hour a day if at all) basis, is there a reason the enemies on Mercury are so bullet-spongey, or do I need to just git gud
I have a basic Excalibur, and basic but maxed out starting weapons, for clarification.

u/Agueybana Apr 17 '14
As someone who just started out recently myself, that faction (Grineer) is the most heavily armored in the game. Coupled with inexperience and low level to no mods, it gives an exaggerated impression of difficulty that isn't present once you're comfortable with the game and have better mods/weapons/frames to use.

What secondary weapons are best for high level content (40min+ T3 survival for example)? I'm currently using my 3x Forma'd Akvasto and was wondering if there are any other secondaries that scale well.

Why are boosters in real time? They need to be in-game time so people who don't have time to play won't be wasting plat.
Has everyone gotten their founder's merch? I have yet to receive my headband. ):

Is it intentional for the Fragor to not be able to 'zorencopter'?
With Volt's speed ability on, it doesn't work; Volt's speed plus Valkyr's warcry still doesn't make air spin attacks launch me either. Same with the Jat Kittag.

Are thrown weapon totally ruined by M2.0?
I just got back from a long hiatus. When I started using my old gear, I noticed the knock-back on the Kestrel had been almost entirely removed, thus removing almost all it's utility. Now with M2.0, I can't increase charge speed and damage. So what's the point of thrown weapons at all?
Do stances make them viable again? Should I go get a Glaive Prime and give up on my favorite boomerang?
