It's not even a PSN thing. This game is very much doing its own thing...for better or mostly worse. But so far, I'm tolerating the quirks because the game itself is pretty awesome. I might be that rare person who actually enjoys the process of collecting parts and building guns.

It's best to get into a party chat at the system level so you can talk through the menus and not just during gameplay, and from the main menu, if you hit options, you'll see your Warframe friends list on the right.

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

The akimbo pistols are fucking sweet! I've been running through entire levels just using them. Pretty much every mission I do at least 50% of the damage, often times > 70%. This is mainly because of the epic-ness of Sword Dash though.

Also, there are three different enemy types, three weapon/gear preset slots, and they tell you what the enemy type is for the mission before hand. This isn't a coincidence. (Hint: Each type of enemy has different resistances)

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

I'm rocking the dual starter pistols with fire, ice and shock upgrades right now, and I definitely lean pistol over rifle in this game. It just fits better with the melee and the frenetic pace of the game. If you're hanging back with a rifle in multiplayer, it feels like you're missing out on the fun.

I have a revolver build cooking in the foundry right now, and I have blueprints for the Viper as well.

I'll probably get a blueprint for the Soma next.

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

I picked the character "Mag"....I take it any character can use any weapon(s) correct?

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

Yes. I should have picked Mag. His abilities are pretty cool looking.

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

Well Mag fits my style I prefer to play...more of support with crowd or groups involved. I'm not a head first, guns blazing person and much rather be something where it's more of "SSS"...Support, Stun & Save. "She"...has Pull, Shield Polarize, Bullet Attractor and Crush...all of which helps solo and group play...or at least appears that way.

I've become a fan of "stun" since playing Diablo III...it's effects on enemies tend to be fully underestimated and it's a must in the higher levels of Diablo III...stunned enemies don't deal any damage but take everything you can give. And same with shields...if you can pull, stun and deplete shields= easier takedowns. Throw in Bullet Attractor and you can almost have a 1,2,3 punch. And Crush sounds too cool.

Update 11 was just published on PC. Hopefully it will be coming for the PS4 soon:

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

Just wanted to say thanks flashburn for the weapon tip...Burston. I decided to buy it last night and even though I'm still early in the gun made a differece especially the "Sabatoge" mission I did last. Had some weird dogs and zombie guys. The extra 10 in damage and burst fire helped.

I'm just at Level 7 but at least able to use some abilities. The Shield Poloarizer is good but I don't know what the % of drain & boost is. But I did try Pull last night and this one is a favorite already. It has some distance and was able to pull (3) same time. Some died and some stunned but for several seconds allowing me to hack them.

Still have questions on Mods & Inventory Items....

I picked up a Vitality Mod 40% Health. I don't have a slot with the matching icon you see in the upper right corner and put it in a blank slot. That's ok without any penalty right?

I've got one or two of those "Booster Mods"...one looks like a large Gear. What are they used for?

How to increase power to your Ability Mod...say I want to make Pull or Shield even more powerful?

What do you with "Items" you collect? In the inventory you cannot sell them but what are they for?

And is anyone using the "Sentinel"...I saw a video of someone using it...reminds me of "The OWL" in Killzone. Sure it's for higher levels but just curious.

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

Yeah. If you match the symbol, it costs half, and if you mismatch it costs a bit extra, but if there's no symbol, it's just the face value of the "card".

I'm guessing you mean fusion cores?

http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__...PackSilver.png

You use them to fuse duplicate mods together in your mods menu under arsenal.

By fusing duplicates...see above.

You use them in the foundry to build weapons, frames and sentinels. You can find blueprints or buy them for in-game currency.

I bought the collector one with platinum, but by the time you really need one, you can build one for "free".

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

Slight correction. You use the Fusion Cores as wild's basically. You don't need a duplicate mod to use one.

You should pretty much only fuse together the same mods, or the fusion cores obviously, the rest is a waste.

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

So say for instance...I have the PULL Mod and I want boost it a bit. I take the PULL Mod, Fusion Core and maybe a duplicate, use Transfusion, and that's it?

And I guess being just at Level 7 it's a bit early to even consider Blueprints? Guessing the main focus this early on is concentrating maybe boosting 1-2 abilities and weapons? Should I do more with the sword or rely mainly on the Primary and Seconddary?

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

Sure. You don't need to do them all at once, there is a meter on the side of the fusion that will tell you how close you are getting to levelling it up. The Fusion Cores have levels too, so some are better than others.


What do you mean by consider blueprints? I wouldn't buy any unless its for credits. You'll start getting blueprints more often as you go through higher level missions.

As to what weapons to use, I'd just use whatever you find most fun, they all seem pretty effective in their own way. I'd boost whatever skills you find you are using the most, or seem obviously more advantageous. There are some really good ones that boost hp/shield, as well as crit chance, elemental damage, etc.

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

Well I'm just pissed...I killed Capt. Vor and right near the end of escaping one of those Hatchet Guys came out of no-where, stunned and then killed me ending the mission. Now after two times I cannot even kill Vor. it's almost like twice as many enemies appear near his ending as the first time and nothing is dropping. I've used my "Re spawns" up so I've got to buy more...probably the one negative of the game as it's almost mandatory to have.

As to the Blueprints...I was asking if they should be even considered getting this early in but right now it's just getting thru Mercury.

But when you fail to complete a mission you do keep whatever you found and points right?

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

Don't buy respawns ever. Your 4 get replenished every day.

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

Thanks and thanks for the help with Capt. Vor, the rundown on the mods and hands on walk-thru.

...and being the first to do co-op and test out the "Ear-Bud"...which wasn't to bad all. Now just need to try and get 3-4 us to make that run...

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

Check the wiki before you buy a blueprint. Some of the parts you need you might not get to for a while.

You only keep XP when you fail a mission. Better than nothing I suppose.

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

Update 11 is in QA right now, so hopefully it comes out in a week or so. I've stopped playing for now, too many annoying bugs.

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

I'm popping in daily for the daily reward and maybe running a level or two.

I keep getting pistols for the dialy reward, but I can't find them in my inventories. Wonder if they are parts or something.

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

I'll look for you if it's ok to do another run together...not sure on that one level where you said we need really 3-4.

And yea..me to trying to pop in daily and maybe even do a run. I'm thinking since I'm doing solo a lot right now of just going ahead and getting a Sentinel. I see there are four to choose from but there is really no info when you pick one. Are they different up front....like one does something better than the others. And if so which is a good all-around one.

I'm really liking the game each time I play but I can see the real value is co-op. I hope as more get the PS4 they'll try the game. Just so many games..Killzone, BF4, this and still haven't opened Knack.

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

It's either XP or a blueprint, not an actual weapon. I made that mistake too. You can tell by the number, if it's a 1, it's a blueprint.

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

The wiki is your friend. ;)

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

:lol: Thanks. Can't get to it at work.

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

Ended up going with the Shade sentinel. i also got a better sword and took chess's advice on getting the dual pistols (same as what I have but dual). Now though since my stuff is (was) un-rankedI just re-played the early levels to build them up...I'm guessing there is no harm in doing this?

Question though on completing the missions and then moving on. There is one last one on Mercury...the one Chess helped me out on and seems we need 3-4 on. I've gone to Venus and did the first two but it's not showing like 2-12, just 0-12 like I've never been there. I guess it'll stay that way until I complete Mercury and move on right?

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

I've never noticed that before. Probably just another bug.

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

Yea..it's kind of strange because the last mission on Mercury is something like Level 5-7 of something like that and it was brutal...or at least to me and totally caught me off guard. I looked around and the only other planet I can do anything on is Venus. I completed the first two and still shows 0-12.

One other question...any tips using Transmutation. I don't exactly have tons of mods but I do have several duplicates and even one that I have four of with the same level. What I'm hurting for are Rifle Mods...I have only two but 14 points to spend. Have a couple of Pistol mods that help, lots of Melee and starting to get a bit more of the Fusion Cores.

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

Here's my tip on Transmuting, don't do it. It's a waste of money. Fusion on the other hand (I think this is what you were referring to) is awesome. Any duplicates you have, you should be fusing together. Rifle mods are always the ones I'm lacking as well, I wouldn't worry about it.

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

I've got one favor to ask....maybe the next time all of us are on i wonder if there is a chance you mind helping out on that one last part of Mercury. Probably not today but a chance sometime tomorrow. Like to get rid of that so I can actually get credit for what I'm doing on Venus. Thanks again for the tips.

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

Sure. I can probably be on tomorrow night. Maybe around 8PM EST.

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

Thank you...I'm central so I'll shoot for around 7PM my time...hopefully Chess will see this. Just this run as I've got my Diablo III partner (360) to finish a run as well. I know I'm not up near the levels of you and chess so I appreciate going back.

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

Just started building my Ember frame. It will be done on Sunday. I really hope it doesn't suck.

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

Yeah, I can jump on anytime this weekend. I'm completely free, and there's no way I'm shopping.

I'm still doing my level best to farm a control module on Europa.

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

Well hats off to Chess last night for not only helping out on that last mission on Mercury but also doing a big dent in the Venus missions...about 2/3 up to Vesper I think. At the end I pretty much...

Doubled my Mods...from 42 to 85
Sword...from Rank 5 to 10
Warframe...Rank 11 to 15
Twin Pistols...Rank 6 to 10
and my newly acquired Shade Sentinel Shade from Rank 4 to 7

All-in-all a solid productive night...probably more in one night than almost in a week for me. Even tried the "Guard Missions"...where you face several waves guarding some box...that I liked. Sort of a mini-horde mode. I'm actually surprise we didn't call it a night sooner since the last three missions we had run out of lives.

Something else I found and think even Chess wasn't aware of...when you are scanning the missions if it's in White..you've done it; in Blue it hasn't been done.

Probably won't be on tonight after all, got a lot to do in the bathroom remodel and even if I do I may go back to Killzone or pickup on BF4 which I really want to get ore out of.Would like to see three of us go a few rounds or I may try some randoms. Thanks Chess...a good night indeed.

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

No worries. I was tired of Raptor handing me my ass anyway! :lol:

Good times.

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

Got around to trying some random matches...mainly a few Guard to see how it was. I actually liked it and the groups I was in did well. I can see me getting into the random more and more especially Survival or Guard. I was temped to try that one at the bottom of Venus...Level 0-100 but maybe another time. I did get to try the "Crush" ability...this will end up being my GoTo when it's just to many and close to surrounded. Haven't tried Bullet Attractor but use some random to play with it. I've probably played this more than Killzone and BF4.

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

Two hours before my Ember Warframe is finished. Can't wait! Going to start building the Seer pistol, and hopefully the Glaive as well.

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

I just went on the Warframe Wiki to check Ember out...she is going to be seriously wicked! Talk about HOT!! I take you you got everything from drops or did you purchase or what?

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

I purchased the blueprint a while back, without knowing I'd need to farm for the other blueprints. So then I worked on getting those as well.

When Update 11 hits they'll have something in place to get discounts on Platinum, but I'm not sure of the details.

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

Oh man, Ember is pretty badass so far. Only level 8, but the stuff it can do is pretty sick. Fireball isn't very good, but Fire Blast is sick. Looking forward to increasing it's mods more.

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

Sounds good...may have to hook up your "Ember" with my "Mag"....do some sort of a "Crush & Burn"...and I've already forgot what Chess Warframe does...just know it's cool as well.

re: Warframe (PC, PS4, XB1) - Ninjas Play Free
 

Sure, send me a friend request in game.

This weekend was really productive, especially considering I didn't play a whole lot. By tomorrow morning I'll finally have a Sentinel (Dethcube), also building a Seer and the Glaive. I've heard the Glaive is badass, so I'm really looking forward to that.
