Weeeeee.

Finally back home after a week at a conference, and there's a good chance I'll actually have free time to finally play this again.

I picked up that $13 package and the stacked XP boost is nuts. I am getting a level per invasion mission and I am usually the one lagging behind. Sadly, I have no resources to build other frames and only have to finish Banshee and Nyx before the weekend is up, but I have a few weapons ready to go for leveling. Hopefully can get mastery level 6 by Sunday night, but that seems like a long shot since I just did M4.

If you need resources we can help you farm them. The rares ones usually have the highest drop chance from bosses which means you'll be getting warframe component blueprints as well (which will need more resources to make...).

I should really qualify that in saying I have no frame bps which take 3 and a half days to cook anyway, so no worries. I actually have 12 neural sensors and 9 neurodes. Nothing I need right now takes argon crystals so I am actually ok. Forma bps and forma is still outta reach though.  Ohhhhh, I see.

Well - I recall you saying your playtime is mainly weekends, but if you can jump on PST in the evenings on the weekend someone will probably be online.  Just having a partner will open up opportunities for mission runs and planet unlocks, which will yield you some resources and mods.  If there's at least a couple of us around we can get into low level Void runs, or middle-ish level Interceptions an such which will potentially get you forma's, orokin cells, gold cores and so forth.  Not to mention whatever rando mods you pick up in the missions with a potential for a rare mod or two. (You WILL get a Power Throw). 

Short version: if you have some time to play and there's at least a couple people playing you can get into a farming group setup - you'd be surprised how much loot you can accrue after just a few runs.

Went to login today so I could start building my Valkyre since you guys were able to get me all the components and resources for it yesterday.  Buy the blueprint and realize I"m flat broke, 3k credits.  I need 25k to start building.  That made me sad.

Sell excess junk mods.  It can add up fast depending on how many ammo drums or fast reloads you've been hoarding.

Yeah credits was the gating resource for me when I restarted playing too. If you are willing to spend some real-life money to cut down on the grind in-game the credit booster is very handy. The $50 Prime Access accessories pack comes with a 90 day affinity (XP) booster and a 90 day credit booster which will double your affinity and credit rewards. You can also buy shorter duration boosters for platinum from the Market.

Void missions in general offer better credit rewards than the planet missions and Void capture missions in particular are good for farming credits since they can usually be completed very quickly once you are familiar with the tileset. In EC people tend to save their Void capture keys for double credit weekends but we can run some to get you enough credits to build the frame components and the frame itself. You can also hang out in the recruiting channel and join other people's void missions with the non-endless ones usually being the more efficient ones to run for the credits.

This.  Not going to lie - I run with an Affinity booster about 50% of the time I play, the other 50% I alternate over to a cred booster.  If you have the means (and aren't opposed to spending RL cash just on principle) these boosters can really make a difference.  I'm not saying you need to run out and buy a Prime Access pack to play the game or anything, but the effect of the boosters are noticeable.

P.S. - I bought one of the Gamersgate packs and it came with boosters, including a resource booster (which I didn't notice when I purchased it).  I now have 47 neurodes and 34 neural sensors.  Oh ho ho ho. Reallllly?  Might be worth cycling in a resource booster in the future now and again!

I don't mind paying real life cash for a game I'm enjoying, especially if it means I'm more likely to enjoy the time I am playing.  Just gotta wait till my next credit card cycle.

There's some sort of new Tactical Alert up - red text was trolling everyone in General.  Not sure of the details yet but just a heads up all.

I don't get it.  Sounds like an easy thing to mess up with the awesome context menu and end up pissing away a lot of credits.

Quote from: reddit
    Step 1: Buy and build a void credit offering
    Step 2: Equip it to your arsenal.
    Step 3: Enter a corpus mission on one of the planets mentioned in the inbox.
    Step 4: Encounter a bursa. Apparently they are not a guaranteed encounter unless you are in a squad of 4 (citation needed)
    Step 5: Use the offering near the Bursa. This will initiate a transfer.
    Step 6: Stun the Bursa (I used a ground slam melee with the Tipedo) and then hack it. It is possible that certain methods of stunning (namely Bastille) are not capable of opening the Bursa up to a hack because it alters the animation.
    Step 7: Keep the Bursa alive and stay near it while the transfer happens. It has powerful AoE spam and is capable of damaging itself, so you may want to be careful here. I'm not sure what the best way to keep it alive is - Bastille might work after the hack. DO NOT KILL IT UNTIL THE TRANSFER IS COMPLETE.
    Step 8: Once the transfer is complete, kill the Bursa as soon as you can.

Well, in the small amount I've messed with it so far tonight:

- Bursa appeared in 2 of 4 missions I ran when I was solo.  I could tell if it was going to spawn because you get a little Nef Anyo vignette within 10-30 seconds of mission entry.
- Not too hard to pick them out visually, they are bigger, bulkier MOA's.
- Not too hard to stun either.  Once it seemed my Kubrow bit him and stunned him, another time I did a "jump kick".
- Dunno about the "transfer" part.  However I did have the offering equipped in a gear slot and got a little video of Anyo jabbering while I hacked the MOA.  My bet is I missed that step.
- Hacking - use Ciphers.
- The keeping alive part is what I kept failing on.  Ohhhhh, I see.  Mobs mysteriously come out of the woodwork after the hack, and I guess the self-damaging thing was occurring although I couldn't really tell as I was spazzing around after the hack period.

I'd say Frost, Mesa / Nyx / Loki and your mates might be needed for this to go smoothly. (I tried with my Mesa ultra Shooting Gallery build and Loki using an IR build and failed both times)

Apparently Valkyr's Paralysis will stun it and then you can use Hysteria if you have issues staying alive while you wait for the transfer to complete.

Edit: note you will likely have to cast Paralysis multiple times before it will be stunned. Not sure if that's cause they have invulnerability frames during some of their attacks or if that's part of their innate CC resistance/diminishing returns.

This is fairly tedious. Seems the transfer rate is higher the more people you have in squad - took forever with 4 last night. Supposedly the future and even THEY can't get uploading and downloading wireless speeds right.

Also, sentinels and kubros can and will kill the Bursa so unequip sentinel weapons and get rid of the doggies since they can attack if owner is attacked. And no AoE guns. And keep the thing stunned the whole time but have each person stun it because of diminishing returns. Yeah... tedious.

It seems the transfer rate may depend upon what keys people bring.  Four 100k keys takes longer but gives everyone a lot more credits.  (If it doesn't keep glitching and getting "out of range", in which case even a 4k group will take forever.)

Hahahaha!  I'm really good at this!

The transfer rate is based on the combined credits in the offerings. If you want the shortest transfer everybody should have the 1000 credit offering equipped. The easiest way to wait out the transfer that we found is to stay near the Moa so it doesn't wander but break LoS to avoid the knockdown spam. Some of the Moas have other AoEs that that doesn't work as well for but you can usually find someplace to avoid must of the stuff. You can bring a Frost or Nova to try and keep it slowed but most of us that we're doing it together last night just used Valkyr.

The Moas also apparently scale in level based on your event points. Not sure if it's the host's points or the sum of all the squad members' points. That might explain, though, why Rasix and I were having difficulty killing the Moa after the tranfer finished as I was over 1000 points near the end of our runs.

I'm not sure I would bring the higher credit offerings.  It bugged out 3 times in a row last night with a group of 4.  It didn't seem to bug out at all when it was just Trippy and I.  

Part of the reason we were having problems killing it is that it can kind go invincible at times, and I kept getting killed.  Trinity is OK, but someone like Frost or Rhino is going to be better once you need to kill it.  Link doesn't prevent you from getting chain cc'd by that dumb thing.   Stunning it during the transfer period would probably help.

This is such an awful event and just an awful concept in general.  It's so goddamn cheesy.

That explains the slow crawl last night. 1k credit offerings from now on.  awesome, for real

The "bonus" credits thing that some of you got with the 300K+ credit reward was patched out when they fixed the offering consumption / able to give offering from gear menu bugs.

It may be worth bringing something when the Moas are very high level that can safely lower their HPs during the transfer phase to speed up the kill time.

They are totally worth getting unless you are a casual player who is never going to Forma a weapon. I haven't done an impact weapon analysis but the previous +90% damage (at max rank) type event mods have proven to be very useful. They are also extremely valuable to collect. E.g. the complete set of unranked Operation: Gate Crash slash event mods goes for about 1000 platinum right now.

The Nemesis skin has finally made its appearance in the game for Nyx (and NyxP).

Been waiting a long time for this since the original Excaliber Proto skin. All for 150platinum in the marketplace.

The ghosts of both Hayden and Nadia are now back in Warframe.

Yeah apparently you can earn up to 300 points in a successful run now if your Bursa is at max level (100). Unfortunately that also means the Bursa will be spawning more level 100 bodyguards around it.
