I am giving this a try for a mission or two a night as I have a bit more time until August
You'll have the advantage of some established players showing you the ropes if you want, too. That initial hump is hard to get over because you don't have a good selection of weapons, frames, or mods, but once you start having some options it's fun.

Hahahaha! I'm really good at this!

Optional reset is back online! Just reset myself, I'll hop back in once I get some time next week.

Yeah, which will be weird as I'm not used to that, but nice at the same time. Though, after Ard ran me through a couple of missions and was saying how with more people it is faster and a bit more fun, I also learned I really need to change some UI settings and hotkeys or find a controller to use.

I put sprint on Shift, crouch on C, and toggle crouch on Ctrl. Trying to do shift-ctrl-w in combinations to sprint-duck-leap-dive-whatever was too finger bending with the defaults.

Biggest frustrations I have with warframe is the grind for rare materials, restricting gear with mastery levels and the matchmaker - everything else I'd be happy to write off as "ah well its in beta and f2p".
Material grind is particularly frustrating when it feels like you need to switch to crafted weapons to progress but the drops aren't happening and as there's no side channel to purchase materials you're stuck unless you can farm with clan or friends - relying on PUGs via the match maker just adds more frustration.
Stopped playing for a bit when initially hitting this with morphics, then found the same problem with neurodes - finally had one drop last night, so later today I should have a Boltor!

I use PUGs for bosses if Ard isn't around. Though my luck on neurodes is crap. I was 0/7 at first, and still only at 2/10.

Yeah neurodes are a PITA to get. I'm happy to do boss runs with anyone to help out with getting materials.

The rare material grind isn't even the problem. You can get streaky results from the bosses, but in a pug, the whole thing takes 10-15 minutes tops. Rubedo however makes me want to stab someone. I'm at the point where my need for rubedo has outstripped my credit gain, so money is now virtually meaningless. I've got multiple warframes waiting to cook in the foundry for a few thousand rubedo now.

Rubedo really shouldn't be a problem unless you are building a lot for how little you are playing. If you just play through and unlock all missions on the rubedo dropping planets you will have plenty has been the experience of just about everyone. Usually you graduate from rubedo to alloy plate if you are building one of everything.
You can also farm some of the defense missions to get this stuff, break all the chests, exit and 5 or 10, repeat.

I now have every warframe except Frost Prime. All (except Excal Prime) made in the foundry. Nearly all rank 30 too.

Someone invite me to whatever the clan is - name is Nonentity.
I'm slowly building up my account again after the optional reset. I really, really, really like throwing kunai.

Didn't realize I was still in a Clan! I left so I can be added.

Spy Drone Event - kill a few of the new enemy and get a free Snipetron Vandal. Unless the community doesn't kill enough of that enemy, I guess? But with bonus rewards for being the catassiest catass on your block, so we'll probably hit the threshold. What an oddly structured event.

You can get the whole thing done in a few runs for yourself doing Uranus - Sycorax. I was getting 4+ per run in an easy to finish extermination set.

I've been having good luck with Uranus - Setebos myself. 8-10 per run, takes about 10 minutes if you speed. But if you're just going for 20 anywhere is fine really - just make sure it's on an actual Grineer tileset (grungy brown/yellow with circular doors); a lot of Grineer missions are on the Corpus tileset (sleek blue/grey with sliding vertical doors).

Has there been any mention of whether the event weapon will need an empty weapon slot whenever they gift it, or will it just stay in a queue somewhere (similar to the forge) until I've got space?
Thinking about it that does assume we get the weapon rather than a blueprint, which would avoid all these tricky questions and provide yet another resource sink.

It'll probably be a blueprint like the last reward, to avoid the whole issue of needing a slot. Find out in a day or so though.

Okay, I am so glad I stopped at 20 kills. The final leaderboards had the top 100 all north of 3000 kills.
On the upside, new free gun and free gun slot, as well as the blueprint for the old snipertron, which I missed before.

They gave the old blueprint out, too? That's pretty cool. No point not to since the Vandal is equal or superior in every way. (I'm still going to pull mine out on occasion, though. Sadly, I threw an Orkin Reactor in it last week.)
I still need my two friggin' Latron Prime pieces. They're being stingy with those Void Keys.

Apoc (or anyone else in bat country really), the dojo costs are reasonable now. I started building up a cross connector off one side. When that finishes, we'll need to build a reactor followed by an oracle off the two wings, then probably another cross connector and some of the labs so we can finally do research. I've been saving my forma for this patch, and have two more I can contribute to this right now.

Oh cool, I'll log in later on today if I get a chance.
Not been playing this at all for a couple of weeks now so I'll just make you the dojo boss Ard :)

I got most of the materials started for the reactor, which is what's stopping us from building anything else right now, but I was short some alloy plate, if someone can toss the rest of that in.

I've been running Raptor on Europa like crazy. In like 40 runs I've gotten two nova helmets, two nova systems and like 600 morphics and 50control modules.

Okay, the reactor is done, I started the oracle and the next cross connector, but I'm out of forma now for the connector and ran out of circuits on the oracle, so neither have started their builds yet.

Okay, I started the three research labs building, but I don't have the resources to start them. I threw in everything I personally had.

Apoc, or anyone else really, the first few clan weapon patterns have been researched now, if you want something new to play with.

Nice one :)
I've not played for a few weeks, might pop in again sometime soon. I'm sure I've got lots of resources lying around I can dump into the dojo.

That'd be nice. Ard is dumping a ton of his resources in, and I'm putting some, but only have limited amounts.

Okay, so the majority of the clan weapons are researched, if anyone is looking for something new to play with (mostly looking at Apoc here). There are only 3 left total that need materials.
They also added a new system with new planet maps, mobs, and a new boss fight this week for anyone that wasn't paying attention.

Nice one Ard :)
Not playing at all atm, kinda buried under Steam backlog, plus went and got hooked on Guild Wars 2. I'll try & pop in and chuck some more materials at things if I get a chance though :)

No worries, just keeping you updated. The last of the patterns will get started in a day or three anyhow probably one way or the other. Not missing a whole lot now. The bigger issue is that the weapon patterns need forma to actually make, which is still a giant pain in the ass.
