I kinda preferred when Lotus Gifts were consistently gold/blue potatoes.  Now its rivens I either can't use or can't be assed to build the weapon for, or relics that have a massive chance to contain nothing of note.  Potates were always useful.

You could just sell the veiled rivens. Pistol and Melee Rivens usually go for 15 to 20 plat, while a shotgun can go all the way to 50 plat. Think of them as small plat drops for you if you are not interested in actually using them.

There is what you are doing wrong. Run radshares or something, don't try to crack relics solo, you murder your odds of getting the good stuff.

EDIT: The fastest way to ruin Warframe for yourself is insisting on playing solo. The game is not designed for it.

Relics are literally the only thing you are practically forced to group up for.  As in you must not have randoms.  Other than maybe the spiderbosses, the now defunct raids, and the nightwave challenge that asks for a friend.  And the Hema but fuck that gun.

What I mean by solo is my both friends list and clan are empty.  Vast majority of the game easily accommodates that.

Honestly most of the prime stuff I actually have, I got by just opening relics at random and just picking from the four choices for shit I don't currently have.  Every time I've tried to game it and try to get something deliberately it takes like 20 fully refined relics, if it drops at all.  Its never worth the time and effort, and feels no better than the primes I got at random.

I played from ~2013-2016 almost entirely solo. It's perfectly workable for 90-95% of the content in the game, in some ways more and others less than it used to be.

In particular it's reasonable now that you have 4 self-revives per mission rather than per day.

Excalibur is a starter frame, and is an absolute monster that can carry you through the star chart and beyond. He is overshadowed now by Umbra (heh), but that is some distance away for a newb, and he comes with a reactor already installed. Dropping your first gold potato on Excalibur is not a bad decision.

It is. He'll delete that frame in a few weeks of playing.

These alerts or whatever probably should tell you the level of the mission.  Since I click those and it throws me into the match, without giving the info.
But, I'm fine with the free loot and carry.

On another note, recently encountered people who set up this nearly invisible barrier, you can't shoot into it, but you can shoot out.  Took me a lot of bullets to figure out that there was something there and my game wasn't bugged.
It also has this ambient sound when you stand inside it.  It gets old really fast.

Likely Frost's bubble with a stupid colour that makes it hard to tell its there.

[Rex_Nex]

Yeah it can be hard to see if Frost sets their energy color to black. It's actually preferable to other colors because of how easy it is to see in and out of it; with any other color it becomes fairly opaque if you have more than a single bubble down. It shouldn't be nearly invisible though, it's just a slightly smokey glass color. You might want to check your gamma settings!

[Zangi]

Eh, really, its just I didn't see it at first because I did not know it was a thing.  Now I can recognize it.


Some games, I can just not bother fighting and just focus on collecting loot, let allies spam their persistent yuge area abilities to get all the kills.

[wereboar]

Oh no, guys. This is probably not a benevolent Frost's bubble but rather Limbo's bubble of ultimate annoyance.

[Shooer]

Limbo was my first guess.  Forst bubbles are pretty obvious in comparison.  All glowy, angled and snowy.  Limbo bubble is just a color filter.

PSA: If you are running the 60m survival for the weekly, don't bring limbo!

Being in the rift shuts off your aura mod, and you will want everyone, or at least most everyone, to have Corrosive Projection. High level Grineer with their armor still on are a bitch to kill, and survival without using life support is all about how fast you can kill near a nekros.

The "perfect party" for this is Frost or Gara, Nekros, Hydroid (with augment) or a second Nekros, and Oberon. Frost or Gara to protect the extractors, Nekros to make more life support drops, Hydroid to make more life support drops, and Oberon to keep everyone alive.

If you are all really good at this kind of thing, then you really don't need my advice do whatever you think is best, but this group is good for people who are having trouble.

[Teneb]

An alternative strategy to deal with the brick-tier Grineer you'll be facing is either Inaros or other blinding warframe plus daggers with covert lethality. Gets a bit boring, but does the job.

Grineer are also nice because unlike Corpus or Infested, I think all of their units have execution animations.

That's a Frost bubble, probably with pure black energy color like I use. It's next to invisible on a lot of tilesets.

For the record, the reason you use pure black energy on certain frames (Frost, Gara, &c.) is because any even slightly bright or colorful energy color will turn their barriers nearly opaque, which makes it a massive pain in the ass to use them effectively. Frost bubble in particular is completely blinding if you're inside one with a bright color, since it also has that blizzard effect inside. Black energy color completely removes the "snow" streaks and turns it into a soapbubble.

Of course, Frosts who don't pop their own bubbles when they're no longer being used (and there's energy to spare) are annoying.

[MrRoboto75]

Does the game even tell you you can pop your globes with 1?
