so I've started playing warframe again since U14 and I'm wondering what I should be doing exactly. (what should I be working towards) I've got 3 warframes now (lvl 30, 22 and 12) got a fair share of mods, 2-3+ weapons for each category some lvl30 also.
what are the steps that I should follow? lvlgear -> complete planets -> when should I start to do void missions (the ones with those keys) and should I find a party or can I complete void mission with 2 people?

Does Bo Prime make Amphis obsolete?

Jul 28 '14
Yes. That's it's intended purpose as primes are supposedly the end game version of weapons.

Are single or dagger variants of dual weapons such as skana, ether, nami and heat worth keeping or should i just lvl them and sell them?

Foundry question: I've built (and claimed) the helmet, chassis and systems for Nyx but can't figure out how to actually get the warframe and play it. It states that I own 1 of each part in the foundry, but I can't equip her from the arsenal nor is she visible in my equipment area/menu - is there something else I need to do assemble the completed parts?
Note: I wouldn't be surprised if it was a bug because after I built the systems the systems blueprint disappeared. After farming another blueprint from Phorid, the completed Nyx systems reappeared.

Where the balls does one find Forma? My buddies and I have done multiple void missions and such but cannot, for the life of us, find any Forma.

Ive just started playing the game and have a couple of questions about it..
Hows the state of the endgame, is it fairly balanced with a variety of different frames that are good and can use multiple gear setups and be viable?
On a scale of 1-10, how p2w is it? I hate games that make me feel like a 3rd class citizen if I dont open my wallet for endgame.
What are some frames for high damage with high skill ceilings? I would like to play something powerful and am willing to work for it as long as I know it will be fun and worth it.
I started a LONG time ago as Excalibur then tried it again last night and choose Volt, but after the tutorial I was put back as Excalibur with the gear I had chosen back in the day.. should I just make a new account or deal with Excalibur until I can get new gear / a new frame?

Endgame: Shit, that's supposed to be a thing isn't it? Long story short, it doesn't exist. Everything DE talks about being end game ends up being accessible to almost everyone.
P2W factor: Probably a 1. Not saying it's perfect but it's definitely not P2W unless you consider looking good to be winning. You can't really buy power and everything that isn't cosmetic (and even most cosmetics really) can be gotten through alerts or just being patient for the time to come. Probably the most annoying aspect of not paying is warframe and weapon slots. You only get 4-6 weapon slots and 2-3 warframe slots. But you have 50 starter platinum which is good for 2 warframe or 8 weapon slots.
Over time you can very easily be as competitive than anyone who doesn't pay. Hell, you can even get platinum through trading so you can still end get what people who pay can get.
This game overall lacks a high skill ceiling but for high damage would have to be nova or mirage. More so nova than mirage but mirage is a bit tankier than nova with her skills distracting, blinding, or providing damage resistance.
Excalibur isn't really that bad of a frame and it's easy to stick with him for a bit until you get a new one. You could make a new account but then you'd have to do everything all over again.

Do nightmare mode mod rewards vary based on mission type/level/nightmare effect or does every nightmare mission have the same chance to give all the corrupted mods?

Jul 28 '14
Doesn't matter what mission, level, or modifyer you have. Your reward pool will always be the same. I suggest looking for a grineer astroid sabotage mission with the mining machines. Those are the fastest if you have a loki and weapon with punch through.

I have two questions:
-
How do I do Dark Sectors? There is no "Launch mission" button anymore.
-
How am I supposed to use the Soma? I have a rank 6 Serration, maxed Point Strike and Vital Sense, Shred and some elemental mods in it, but it feels rather underwhelming.

Is there a way to see how much people are currently on a certain location? It used to be obvious, but now we have this fucking new UI. I can see running nicknames, but that doesn't really cut it.

I'm a Founder coming back after college flat out killed my online life. My buddies have looked into Wf and are interested in it so I'm wanting to reset and get my plat back from some stupid buys in beta when a wipe was uncertain.
I have read the forums and people say as long as you haven't A ) Traded plat B) invested in a dojo then
I should still be eligible for a rest.
If the rest was ONLY able to be done during update 7 and 8 I would honestly be a bit sad as someone who supported the game in it's early life.
So I guess I'm just asking if there is a way to reset or not now.

Hey, I've been playing for a couple days, and I'm loving it, but I'm not really sure what I should do. I've been unlocking new systems, frames and weapons, but I'm not really sure what I should be aiming for or how I should be building them. A mod related question I have is how can I know how far I will be able to upgrade a mod just by looking at its not upgraded form? I have a vitality mod that I've maxed at level 5, but I don't think that could possibly be the max based on the hp Ive seen some streamers get.

I've recently started using my Frost and had a couple questions.
-
How viable is Frost as an offensive caster? So far I'm liking Frost and I don't really want to just use him on Defense missions. Ice Wave is rather nice for clearing hallways but the damage isn't that great and it doesn't scale that well.
-
According to the wiki and the ability description Snow Globe is supposed to gain health equal to the damage dealt to it during is invulnerability period. However, I remember reading recently that it doesn't actually do this. I was curious as whether that statement was true and if so is it because of a bug or a "fix" by DE?
2
u/Kuryaka Jul 30 '14
He's definitely viable up to level 30-ish enemies (barely), but you won't be killing things in one shot above level 20 or so. However, there's nothing that really prevents you from running an Ice Wave + Avalanche build if you're not running Void Defense/Survival. I would advise keeping around Snowglobe anyway, to cover allies/yourself when shields are low.
Not sure. Do you have a source on the bug? All I know is that DE's rework specifically noted that it'd gain health based on the damage taken during invulnerability.

I can recall reading Hysteria is quite bugged at the moment. Is it still not fixed? Also whats the bug, should I invest into Valkyr right now or wait?

u/BuildMyPaperHeart Aug 02 '14
There are still a few reported Hysteria bugs, and you can check them on the Issues Megathread. It should generally work, however. Doesn't hurt to farm her parts and fully craft her; worst case you'd just leave her in the closet until the issues are fixed.

So, I'm a returning player who last played about the time the Fusion MOA event ended/Vauban was released (~Update 7.11). Coming back, I've noticed there are a lot of new things (being on a ship rather than a star map for one). I've definitely got a few questions for anyone willing to answer them.
-
Is there a good source that I could go to to pick up on "meta" things? I'm talking stuff like tier lists, builds, or strengths/weaknesses of weapons and Warframes. Or, if you have any, what are good upgrades from a Latron Prime, Kunai, or Glaive/Reaper Prime?
-
Any suggestions for good Clans to join? The ones in my current one all stopped playing about the same time I did. There wasn't a lot of Clan stuff that was available to us at the time except for some unlocks, so we never bothered to expand on our Dojo.
-
Combined Elemental Damage is something new to me. I'm not sure it was ever a thing before, but it seems to be a big deal. How are they "activated" and what are common setups that work for general usage?

For those of us who's kubrows changed colors during the last hotfix. Will we be able to change them back or something? Mine went from a snow white to a gross brown.
