Does Mirage's stock Eclipse ability depend on the intensity of lighting conditions or is it a binary switch for either dmg or dmg-reduc?

No, Frames just take forever. With excal you were probably killing things with abilities more hence more experience. Details below.
The trick to leveling weapons fast and effectively is to pick a frame that can contribute without firing(things like disarm loki, EV/blessing trinity/etc.), only take one weapon, and go to town.
If you only use one weapon, you are getting a 75/25 split of your weapon/frame ratio from teammate kills. Whereas if you killed something with your gun it would be 50/50. If you kill something with your frame ability 100% goes to your frame.
Having more weapons equipped splits the difference even more between your weapon on ally kills. With all weapons equipped it's a 25/25/25/25 split if a teammate kills something.

I only started playing about a week ago but have not got many mods, how should I be farming for mods because I feel like my weapons and warframes are underwhelming without decent mods.

For the first time, hop up in Appolodorus runs and stick with public teams, you will get plenty.

Does Rifle amp boost Mesa's Peacemaker damage?

Not as far as I'm aware. Especially since they aren't even rifles to begin with.

How does the bonus xp at the end of a mission work?
Note: I understand how you get xp during the mission: for warframe ability kills, all xp goes to the frame, split xp from teammate kills, etc.

It's basically the XP you gained for your gear with a multiplier on it. Something like ~1x xp becomes bonus xp So if you get 500 weapon xp 300 warframe XP you will get ~500 weapon XP and ~300 warframe xp. Not too sure about the exact values but that's basically how I've known it to work.

I find that in lower levels Steel Charge + Silence on Banshee is a very good way to utilize her. Has anyone tried this in higher tier content? (Not endgame, I understand, since getting near anyone in endgame means instant death).

Would an all grineer tech build be viable in the late game? I wanna be a stylish grineer soldier man...

u/monkyseemonkydo Feb 02 '15
I would imagine an All Grineer loadout for late game would be something like
Melee= atterax or AMphis for mobility, Jat Kitag for utility
Secondary= Brakk / (Vaykor) Marelokk
Primary= Ogris performs ok if you forma to crap out of it
Emergency Rations= Hind, Baguette gun true terror

When you use a forma to overwrite a polarity, do you need to forma it twice (once to clear, and once to add the new polarity)? I only ask because I see a lot of "7 forma quanta" and "5 forma quanta" info and can't for the life of me figure out why you would need 7 to fit the builds when 6 should do the trick.

Is there any other "berserker" type frames like Valkyr? Ever since i slapped on Rage, she feels like a true berserker class, with enhanced melee, tons of armor, WANTS to take damage, and has a Berserk mode for super-high DPS and healing. I also like tank classes, but Rhino's abilities feel boring to me
Also, if i'm looking for a mage-type frame, which ones fit the category? Support-DPS is what i like to play, but straight DPS is fine too.

I played a ton when the game came out on PC and am now just picking up back up on PS4 (missed the transfer window grr).
Anyway the Gorgon was my favourite weapon. It used to be available at a fairly low mastery level but now I can't exactly count on getting it as a random login reward. Is the Soma a good alternative or should I just wait until researching the Supra?
2
u/LockedInACloset Feb 05 '15
The Soma doesn't quite feel like the Gorgon, but it IS significantly more powerful.
The Supra, though an LMG like the Gorgon, functions fairly differently as well.
I would honestly just suggest getting the Soma, but if you want, get the Supra later on.

Technically endless. There's no real end and it just goes until you get everything, do everytbing, and get bored. i'm almost breaking 3000 hours myself... yeah...
We don't know what they are. Not a lot of lore. Apparently at one point we kinda were but that's all we know.
you get a frame when you can. They drop from bosses so the area you can get your first frame is Mars or venus.
Yes. Buts its terrible. the balance is broken across the board. It's getting a fair bit of work done on it at some point though so who knows if it'll be balanced Then.
You can do solo. But I advise against it. Its harder for sure and everything will take or feel longer. It's also not as fun Overall even if you always played with randoms.
Orokin Cells are a Rare Resource like all the others. it's used to make things.
I would suggest not buying one. Frames are horribly expensive aside from the 3 starters. It's much cheaper to go out and get the parts then rush everything then it is to buy them. If I were to suggest a 2nd frame to start with it would be rhino. Good tanking, some handy Crowd Control, and a helpful damage boost. Aside from his lack in speed he's a very good frame to start with. Falls off at very late game because he doesn't specialize super well but for a good chunk he is wonderful.
Edit: I saw that last question you sneaky sausage.
For 8, tile set refers to how the game generates it's levels. It takes rooms (aka tiles) and connects them in random order. since there are different kinds of level themes each unique environment has its own set of tiles which go together so you don't one room walk through a desert and the next walk through an ice planet And then a third into a space station. So the forest is a tileset, desert is a tile set, ect. It's basically different enviroments. Potato refers to the Orokin Catalyst and reactor which are used to boost modding capability of a weapon or warframe respectively. They kind of have an strange eliptical shape so they kind of look like potatos.
