[Flying Dice]

Okay, I need some advice here. In about two or three weeks I'll be going back onto a connection I know is bad for Warfame; it's got Strict NAT because of ISP dickery, but it's my only option. What this means is that past that point I won't be able to connect to ~97% of people for playing missions or trading. I've still got a decent chunk of plat from when I got a good discount on my daily, and I need to spend almost all of it, barring a small reserve for potatoes.

What do I need to pick up in preparation for long-term solo play? Both in terms of things that will make it much easier, and things that are basically impossible to get playing solo but also highly desirable.

Spoiler: Here's a brief list of what I already have, to knock some things out (click to show/hide)

Warframes:
Volt Prime, a partially-forma'd Loki, Excalibur, Valkyr, Oberon, a cooking Frost Prime and Loki Prime, all the blueprints I need for Vauban, Ember and Rhino, part of the blueprints I need for Banshee (lol no, not building that except for mastery points), Mag, Nyx and Nova Prime.

Weapons:
Primaries: Paris Prime, Latron Prime, Soma Prime, Grakata, Vectis, BPs for Phage and Amprex.
Secondaries: Synoid Gammacor, Vaykor Marelok, Tysis, Marelok, Dex Furis, Bronco (in prep for eventually getting the second one)
Melee: Dual Ichor, Jat Kittag, Fragor, Nikana, Obex, Glaive, Dex Dakra, Dual Ethers (hey, remember when those were good?), a bunch of the random Alert BPs for Heat/Dark/whatever weapons.

Also a random collection of various Prime weapon parts.

I'm in progress towards accumulating most of the necessary mods. Mainly I'm just hoping that somebody can spot places where I'm missing coverage, because if it's not something I can reliably solo to get, I'm SOL come mid-May.

e:

Looooool. Had a visit from Stalker-senpai on a solo mission. When he poofed in, he did so on the little ledge outside the railing on a walkway over a pit and was stuck there until he died.

New operation up, will last for about a week. Rewards include a sigil, some mods, and a colourful quanta.

A Space Nigerian Prince has been asking for help from many people. For just a small portion of your credits, he will be able to claim his throne that lies within the Void.

Also, people seem to have misunderstood what the red text in chat was teasing us about, as it was poking fun of Darvo, and his entire stock sold out fairly quick.

[Aklyon]

The mods are for impact damage. I'm not sure if anything I have actually produces enough impact damage to be worth using them, but hey, event mods. Maybe I'll be able to actually get a buzz kill without a ridiculous plat price for once! (probably not, since trade chat will get flooded with the damn things.) And it gives me a chance to try out the quanta.

Edit: Holy cow the base crit chance on the new weapon. 35%, 2.5x multiplier

[nenjin]

Is it still the case the physical damage mods blow compared to the Elemental, because they don't scale off the modified weapon damage?

[BlackFlyme]

I believe they scale off of their own damage type only, rather than the total weapon damage.


I'm not quite certain on how to stun the droids for the operation, but it doesn't seem to matter, since people seem to want to destroy the droids, rather than do the operation.

[Aklyon]

Pub groups are for obvious objectives. Trying to scan synthesis targets or hold onto riot moa variants is too complex for them.

[Aklyon]

Solo valkyr on europa, smallest offering, 100 points. Heres what I've found out:

Ground slam the bursa to stun it (if you don't have a more reliable cc), make sure it can see you (the transfer bugs out for a bit if its blinded or loki is being sneaky), do not smash it until you get the red message on screen. Do so immediately when it does, unless in a group. No clue when to do it in a group, it only worked 1 out of 4 times I tried to group for it in clan. Solo has much quicker transfer time.

[BlackFlyme]

There appears to be more than a few bugs with this operation.

These include such fun things as only the host earning any points after a successful mission; people who have been knocked down by bursas being unable to get back up; and having multiple offerings being consumed if you have more than one of a kind in your inventory, even though you will still only get the points for one of them. Getting hit a second time with a knockdown or getting killed may fix being stuck though.

Also, for some reason a lot of people have been falling through the floor in the Europa tilesets. Dying from that and reviving or even using the unstuck command may not work.

[JimboM12]

The event keeps getting stuck for me: 100% transfer then the thing just freezes. No verify stage. It's getting kinda frustrating. Me wanty the beam gun with the potato and slot.

[BlackFlyme]

At least people have been getting better at doing this. Slowly. Maybe all the trolls got bored of being assholes or something.

There's still the odd "i thot u wer supost 2 kill it :-((" or people forgetting to turn off their sentinel weapon or bring their dog, and have those kill it.

Defense missions become a lot more annoying when the thing you are defending wants to kill you. Whose idea was it to strap an ATM to a tank?

[Aklyon]

Honestly its simpler to do the event with solo valkyr. (or solo frost, apparently. But I don't have a frost.)

[JimboM12]

Finally got my shiny new Quanta. The event was cool enough, but man it started out soooo buggy (still is if you're unlucky). I tried it out a bit, and put a split barrel mod on it, more pew pew beams of death. I also invested some of my winnings towards the new grineer grenade launcher, the Tonkor (queue Tonka Tough jokes), because it's explode on impact, which officially makes it sound pimp even if it probably isn't.

[Aklyon]

Saryn is pretty fun to play with. Feels sorta like Oberon or what I see people do with Nova, but with a thematic reason to use shamrock pallete orange as a main color for once and much better armor than nova.

[BlackFlyme]

New event. New tileset, which the event takes place in. New weapons.

I don't know where the primary blueprint can be obtained, but the secondary and melee blueprints are in the market.

This is a sided event. Who will you help; everyone's favourite two-faced zombie Salad V, or our newer entry, Nigerian Void Prince Nef Anyo, the Prophet of Profit?

I don't quite like either of the offered rewards.

E: Also, with the new invasion mode interface for choosing a side, I can't seem to actually click on a side. I can press the mouse as often as I want, but it does nothing.

[Aklyon]

If the blueprint isn't in the market, either its clantech (and appears to be according to wiki, assuming you meant the new bow), or it has some other method of showing up like the miter and its lol boss reward shenanigans.
