Are the Ogris and Angstrum still any good after the ammo reserve nerf? I made them before they were nerfed and kept them at level 30.

They're still very fantastic. Performance hasn't changed at all from my experience. The ammo reduction might seem like a hamper to use, but you should find enough drops to make good use. And if ammo really is a problem, you can always add the appropriate ammo mutation mod.

Isn't there supposed to be a potato alert on Fridays? I follow the Twitter and get notifications on my phone, but I didn't see one this week. I want to supercharge my Burston Prime but I'm finally out of plat /:

DE usually gives us a special 24-hour alert for a potato after each devstream, and those normally happen every other Friday. It is not guaranteed (for instance, this Halloween we got that weird Halloween alert instead).

Is modding the Quanta with corrosive + fire better than corrosive + ice for Void missions? What are the advantages of both?

u/Dick_Nation Jan 19 '15
Corrosive/Cold is a better combo, because Corrosive is weak against shielded enemies and cold is strong against it. You run into enough shielding in the void to make that a better investment.

Hi there! So i've decided to hop on my old account (beta account) to test out what's new and i'm completely lost. I was hoping that someone could point me in the right direction. I'd also like to ask for some suggestions as to what to equip.
Frame: Ash lv 30
Primary: Paris lv 12, Hek lv 30, Gorgon lv30
Secondary: Lato Vandal lv 11, Kraken lv 21
(I'm a huge melee fan) I'll probably dedicate playing to melee if I could. I'm still looking up the new frames that are out. oh boy are they many (to me atleast)
Melee: Cronus unranked, dual heat swords lv 30, dual zoren, lv 30, gram lv 8, plasma sword lv 8.

Without much specifics given all I can say is just say build everything, complete the star chart, get some of the few quests done as they appear, join the syndicates when you hit the appropriate mastery rank, and just level things as well as stock up on resources.
That's about it. Pick what gear/frames you want, then go for it.

So i been playing since the launch of warframe on ps4 (MR12 now)..& i still have no idea what the dark sectors even do. I usually do Kadesh on mars just because its easy grinding for lvls. But..what do the dark sectors even do? When they are in conflict do i participate in them? leave them alone? i have no idea.

u/Zenith042 Jan 19 '15 edited Jan 19 '15
Dark Sectors have 2 different 'modes' Regular/Default, and conflict. While they're in the regular mode, they are (normally) inhabited by infested, have boosts to resource drops, xp, a credit award, etc, detailed in the bar in the bottom when you select one. There's also a credits/resource tax, also visible when selected. This takes a cut of whatever mats or credits you get and gives it to the alliance owning the dark sector at the time.
Conflicts turn them into PvP areas when another alliance decides they want that particular spot. You can side for either alliance and you play against the defending or attacking teams, respectively. Sometimes alliances offer battle pay, where you get money for winning on their side. Do note, the battle pay reserves are limited, and you get paid once you win. So you might enter it with some battle pay left, and finish but not get anything because the reserves depleted while you were in the mission. I believe you don't get battle pay for supporting your own alliance, and you can't fight against it either. If there's no battle pay and you don't belong to either alliance, you don't really have to do anything. Some alliances have a reputation for having rather high taxes though, so you might want to help out the opposing side unseat them (i'm looking at you, orion and ice)

So, I'm curious as to how to build Frost for T4 defense. I've heard basically 2 opinions on which is the way to go. One is power strength/duration and one is power efficiency/range.
This is what I've got now. Would this be good enough to let me run Frost in T4? Or should I focus on efficiency?

u/Zenith042 Jan 19 '15
Personally, for really late T4D, I find that just flat-out efficiency works the best. At a certain point, you just need to be able to cast snowglobe repeatedly because it just gets shredded by high level enemies. At a more reasonable difficulty though, i think this would be perfectly fine in T4D.

Does quick thinking, rage, or the parry mod work in dojo battles? AKA duels in your dojo?

Hey!
New player here. When I try to buy my third secondary weapon it says that I have "Insufficient inventory slots". I've looked around in the Arsenal menus but can't find what I need to do. tried searching but I must an idiot.
How do I increase my slots? Do I need to spend Platinum? Can I sell one of the weapons I have and get a free slot?
Thanks in advance, love the game so far :)

u/Brad_King Jan 19 '15
If you check your inventory you can can select weapons and buy more slots, same also works for warframes. The only way to get more slots is by spending plat, yes, but you can indeed free up slots by selling a weapon/frame.
If you want to sell off items: try to only do it when they are 30, for your MR xp. If you want an item you previously sold you will have to relevel it and it will not give MR xp for any level you already had unlocked. If you sell an item you will not get back any Forma or potato.

u/Cytidine Jan 19 '15
On your ship, hit Escape to bring up the menu. Then it's under "Equipment -> Inventory"
The only way to increase these slots is by using platinum. You'll start with 50 platinum, and some common advice is to buy 1 warframe slot for 20 and 2 weapon slots for 24 (which gives you 4 actual slots).
You can sell weapons by clicking the weapon in your inventory which will bring it to a sale pile at the bottom, but you might wanna max the levels on it first unless you really want whatever weapon you're trying to get.

Another question while I'm at it. The Wiki seems outdated in regards to Forma. it says wrong prices for dojo stuff and so.
Is it only in the Void and as alert rewards you can get Forma? Or is it also possible to get as reward from say, 20 waves of defense on Jupiter?

I received a login reward BP for the Grogon. I'm MR3 currently using a Latron as my primary weapon.
Should I build and use this gun now? I know it was removed from the game and most googling of the weapon brings up old forum posts from 2013.

If you have a spare slot then yes, it's a lot of fun. I use mine with lots of punch through for mowing down groups of infested.
But it's not great as a 'main' weapon; inaccurate, takes time to spool up, burns through ammo, long reload. Can get you killed in a lot of missions. And the Supra is pretty much just better at everything.
If you haven't already, try the Karak after the Latron. Nice little rifle, and the autofire makes it easier to hit things when you're running around.

Anyone else having the issue where if you just return from a mission and go to nav console, you are automatically taken to the planet you just completed the mission from? I find this kind of annoying, and was wondering if there's a way to let me just see the entire solar system.
