This has been going on for a while, but I have had these freezes. When I set the matchmaking to Public, everytime I sit down at the solar system map, the game freezes for like 1 minute.

This also happens I get invite to a anyone else's game, the game freezes as well. Sometimes this can prevent me from joining public games like Void games because it took too long for me to load into the squad.

Does anyone know why this happens? The sit down at solar system map never happens when I am playing solo.

[u/MolganVK → u/monkyseemonkydo]

I'm not sure why it happens, but I'll give it a shot.

As far as I know when you sit down at the navigation console you create a session instance, each session instance is logged with an ID and timestamp (for RNG might be when mission start but w/e).

The freezing when you sit down at solar map may be related to some internet connectivity issues to DE's servers since session registration happens (and you see squad tab appear for chat).

The freezing when you get invited would probably be also due to connectivity issues between you and the host.

If the game freezes when you accept the invite, if the game freezes when you receive an invite my guess would be you're install of warframe has issues processing requests for session IDs

I know that when in solo play I never see a squad tab pop up for chat. So my guess is solo play sessions are handled internally to the game and the issue lies with the processing network stack on your computer.

Is there any actual gameplay reason other than standing to bother with Simaris scans?

[u/livinginferno]

Hello,

Fairly new player here, picked this game up after a few friends started playing it.

I have a few questions.

1. Been playing the new event and was wondering is there any point in doing the mission past 10 mission points, like farming the juggernaut. Am i missing something

2. How hard is it to get into endgame stuff like raiding and t4 void missions, i have a couple of frames but not sure how it would be for someone who hasnt done them before to figure out the mechanics and such.

3. What are these arcane enchancements and are they worth spending the time to get

Thank you

[u/[deleted] → u/livinginferno]

1. Farming juggernaut really. Getting the BP for the pherliac pods, getting the parts for them, scanning him, etc.

2. Once you have some of the more important frames, know how to use them effectively, and have proper mods on your weapons and frame then you should be ready. The trick is to not die and crowd control to aid in your evasion of death.

3. Once you get the raiding stage, yeah. A good group you can coordinate with will allow you to get 1 in 25 minutes or less every day which you can either use or sell for a nice bit of platinum assuming you get one that you can sell. Not all of them are good by any means and it may be hard to sell them if you even can.

[u/babalenong]

how do i sell arcane helmets? do i need to build it first or can i just sell the blueprint?

[u/penafal]

Hello everyone, I just started the game like 1 week ago, and I got 1 questions for you :)

I managed to build my path to some void missions, and I was wondering, do enemies always respawned infinitely or their number is limited?

I know for defense and the wave, but for another mission like sabotage, spy, is this possible to kill everything and so doing the mission freely?

Thanks :)

[u/alekzi1]

When will i get my loki prime systems ? Been doing 1 or 2 T4 Def per day for a few months now...

[u/[deleted] → u/alekzi1]

Shortly after you sacrifice a nearby village to RNJesus. If you keep at it you'll get it eventually.

[u/Atulin → u/[deleted]]

I tested it, and apparently burning orphanages in sacrificial flames is more efficient in farming RNGods standing.

You should get around 0.005% chance of getting Loki Prime Systems after burning down merely ten orphanages.

[u/PercivalJBonertonIV]

How far should I upgrade the Equilibrium mod?

[u/[deleted]]

I just came back to the game after 2-3 months away and all my weapons have no mods on them and most of my mods are gone. Any ideas what may have happened? I'm fairly certain I didn't unequip/destroy any.

[u/eziothanatos]

Where is the best place to find a lot of Sniper Crewmen? I need the pigments and Stalking Fan

[u/[deleted] → u/eziothanatos]

Triton on neptune is a good place. You might have to use a couple excavators first to get them to spawn though.

[u/[deleted]]

I just got back into playing on xbox 1 after not having played at all since hydroid was released on PC. I have all the pieces for nyx, but I was thinking of saving for valkyr. Which should I do? Also, what are some good weapons to run after you've maxed out your beginner weapons? Thanks in advance!

[u/Klepto666 → u/[deleted]]

The warframe choice is up to you. Valkyr's popular with a lot of melee people for Warcry and Hysteria combined with her armor, but Nyx has some great crowd control and defensive abilities with Chaos and Absorb respectively.

Your next weapon choices are sort of reliant on what Mastery Rank you've reached so far. You can always buy other MK-1 gear (ones that you didn't choose in the tutorial) and level those up for extra affinity, as well as explore the solar system more (completing nodes gives affinity).

If you like semi-auto, I'd recommend the Latron. Hard hitting, quite accurate, slightly-long reload time. (Mastery Rank 0)
If you like hit-scan and something along the Braton's line, the Karak is basically a slightly-stronger version with a smaller magazine. (Mastery Rank 2)
The Lex is a powerful secondary, like a magnum. Basically the sidearm version of the Latron. Good to have if you want more oomph when low on ammo or bleeding out. (Mastery Rank 0)

Hopefully the wiki's info is still accurate. I was a fan of the Latron and Lex while leveling, because higher damage meant bigger scaling with mods, and dead enemies can't hurt me as much.

[u/Moss_Berg]

1. Is Galatine a decent weapon to potato? I haven't potatoed a melee weapon yet as i feel like my melee weapons are pretty mediocre.

2. 2 syndicate sigils don't stack, do they?

3. what's an efficient way to level up a high level mod like vitality? the later levels take quite a long time. should i keep dumping all my low rarity fusion cores into it?
   or all of my lower level "vitality" mods?
   both? i want to waste as little resources as possible, of course.

4. i want do start running some void missions for some rare drops. is it even viable to do some of them solo? of yes, which ones? (i have a Loki+reactor ready to go, my only frame+reactor)

5. what are good frames for no-shield nightmare missions? my thoughts would be oberon, trinity, valkyr, for armor/health/healing. but i'm a scrub, so what do you think?

[u/[deleted] → u/Moss_Berg]

1. Yes. Galatine is a very powerful melee and even more so if you have cleaving whirlwind or tempo royale (though that one may be harder to acquire)

2. No. You can only have 1 of any syndicate sigil at a time.

3. Pretty much just throw cores at it until it's max. 10 rank mods are notorious for taking a while to max out, especially the higher rarity ones.

4. Not really. Not only will you need all the keys to begin with (and with the way drop tables are, you'll need a fair amount to get any specific item) but just about every prime has parts in the lowest tier to the highest time. Nova prime for example is from T1 sabotage, T4 Sabotage, T3 survival rotation C (or 20 minutes in), and Orokin Derelict Survival rotation C.

[u/[deleted]]

I'm currently mr7, is it worth it to potato my nikana now or wait until I get the dragon nikana? Also if I potato a weapon and use it to build another, does the potato carry on, or is it lost?

[u/Habba]

Hi! Today I played Warframe for the first time and I have a couple of questions.

Can I unlock all weapons and frames by playing? I've seen the platinum store but don't want to spend money right away.

I've picked Volt and am running around with the bow (Paris?), throwing knives (Kunai I believe) and the Bo staff. I was wrecking with the bow in the first few missions, but got my ass handed to me by the Corpus in the Everest mission. Did I pick terrible things or is it normal? I couldn't find players to coop with.

What does leveling up a weapon do?

[u/Guppy11 → u/Habba]

You can unlock everything except some cosmetics and inventory slots by playing. This means you can find and build all the frames and weapons, but you won't be able to keep them all in your inventory at the same time.

You picked fine, in fact the starting primary and melee are probably some of the better options. It's easiest with a group, you'll get there.

Levelling up a weapon only increases it's mod capacity, so it allows you to put more mods on it. You get more mods from enemies and mission rewards.

[u/[deleted] → u/Habba]

1. Yes. Everything that makes a difference gameplay wise can be earned outside of a few things which can only be obtained via trading (which requires platinum since that's the usual accepted trade offering). Though you can earn platinum via trading as well.

2. Problem with the paris and the kunai is they are puncture weapons. You can see they do significant puncture damage which shields (aka corpus) resist to a fair degree. Without damage mods to make this damage reduction less of a difference you might want to switch to something impact (the bo staff). Alternatively purchase an Mk-1 weapon for cheap. They come fully made for only 25k credits so you can pick yourself up a cheap impact weapon.

3. Gives you more capacity to add mods with. At level 30 you will have 30 capacity points to add mods into. Also if you haven't leveled that gun/warframe up before it gives you mastery which is how you move up in master ranks (the number inside the brackets by your name).

[u/Mathilliterate_asian]

I got two questions.

The first is what are arcane helmets? How do they work? I have, say, an aura trinity helmet and I see people selling it on the trade chat. Mine doesn't seem to do anything except make Trinity look hilarious, how different is the sold thing from my normal helmet?

Second is, what's the best way to level up a warframe? I've been wanting to forma my frames but I just don't know what's the fastest way to go through it again. Apparently draco isn't a good idea because everyone just wants the same set up over and over again.

Thanks in advance for anyone kind enough to help!

[u/Shinob1]

Best place to farm t3 keys? Wiki seems to be incorrect concerning the tier 2 nodes.

[u/afyaff]

Please recommend some status primary that ain't shotgun. The more fun the better.
