Correct they don't show until you've done the mission map they are on, but you can taxi with friends and jump on any they have.

Rhino is from the 2nd boss you encounter you'll have all of his blueprints long before you have the money or materials to craft him annoyingly.

Vauban doesn't really have any room clear abilities just room control, so you still want others who can mass dps. Rhino with his stomp has an excellent horde clearer, surprisingly high dps until stuff scales very high. Nyx again is utility like Vauban and still relies on others to mass murder.

Quite a few frames have a mass dps I win button that will carry you until very end game mobs, ember, rhino, volt, mag etc are all capable of slaughtering en masse.

Randoms are fine online, met 2-3 idiots in a lot of hours played, you get the odd afk'er the odd person playing porn down their mic and the odd troll standing outside of the finish zone to make you wait an unnecessary 15 seconds or so.

Worst thing I come across is people with playstation camera which leaves their mic open, so you hear their kids farting or their mum walking down stairs etc, so I just tend to turn voice off unless with friends or on very hard content that requires coordination.

Very quickly you'll learn you just can't solo a lot of the stuff as a new player and you need to have other bodies there to help kill stuff and revive you, which is why I encourage everyone to view the game as multiplayer preferred at first and solo optional later.

If I have to solo I'll grab rhino or Loki depending on mission or go invincible mode on trinity.

PSN is Farslain btw.

Played this a bit and like it but dont have a clue at all on the upgrades etc.
I run around kill things pick up some cards and parts and level up some stuff but have no idea if i have points to spend etc to upgrade or if it does it automatically .
I dont even know what warframe i started with lol :) Just have 2 guns and a sword and got killed by someone call Vor or something who kept teleporting and killing me in 5 seconds :)

Look me up in game, I've got a couple of essential frame mods I am happy to let go, things such as streamline and flow, then there's some other stuff like heavy drop (which is useless but hilarious) .
Hornet strike, infected clip etc etc.

I'll trade them out, not after platinum.

All I would ask is if anyone takes one of my doubles and happens to land on a duplicate barrel diffusion or critical delay afterwards etc, let me know lol.

So after playing this a bit over the last few days I've come to the conclusion that this game is a massive grind fest unless you start dishing out cash. I'm nearly onto the third planet and am still level 1 and ridiculously weak, I'm still using the same weapons I started with because they are all too expensive to buy or locked, everything seems to be going so slowly. Am i doing something wrong?

I've had 4 barrel diffusion's, there's a defense in Neptune which seems to love giving them out :D

I picked one up today.

I am after a split chamber now.

I've had a right old blast the past couple of days, put two forma on my soma, my Nova finished building this morning and it's hilarious fun running around dropping molecular prime all over the shop.

No I kinda found the same, that 3rd level was silly as I kept running out of ammo on my primary weapon as my sword charge timing was just rubbish. Playing this solo definitely is a grind but as least my weapons are levelling up. Hoping as soon as my frame has all slots available/used for the default powers Ill get online - from there it looks a lot more fun...

ps3ud0 :cool:

Mastery rank one?

Don't worry about that, you can use almost everything from the market bar the Sobek, Soma and Hek I think.

It's worth while paying a little into it, the Grakata and Twin gremlins will see you through a massive part of the game, as will the orthos staff and you can make that quite easily.

Out of the starting frames, if you've chosen anything other than Mag it's going to be a slog, Excalibur isn't particularly exciting, and Loki doesn't have a great deal of destructive power.

I bought Nekros and Trinity on the first day, and have built Nova, Mag, Rhino, Valkr and Ember just through playing the game.

There is a hump you have to get over at the start, you aren't quite powerful enough, you can quite get the cash together to do anything etc.
A couple of good survival runs and things will get better.

Nova is amazing, I forma'd her 3 times already, she's beast.

Finally got my E Siphon.

So last night, I soloed a 4-6 Corpus capture mission with basic starting gear except for the sword. Loki, Mk1-Braton, Lato, Cronus. Man that was tough. I had crafted a mod to give myself +200% shields, and I think that's the only reason I managed it.

To celebrate, bought myself a Grakata with platinum. Oh boy that thing is powerful compared to the newbie gun. Been soloing a bunch of Grineer maps back on Mercury with that thing.

72 hours. Seventy. Two. Stinking. Hours.

That's how long it takes to build an Oberon warframe. That's after grinding the same boss over and over again to get all the blueprints, and grinding a bunch of other missions to get all the credits and materials needed. 72 hours.

Is it just me, or is this game taking the ****?

Ok I've jumped on and had a go but can someone explain what I'm doing? Lol

I picked Loki as I thought it would help surviving if I'm in trouble but I only have decoy as a power. Can you get other powers and if so how do you switch between them? Swipe activates it but if I have two cards how do I use other one?

Also I'm picking up stuff in inventory but not sure what I'm doing with them. Seems fun though.

I have also just started this, can you team up with other players?

The other three powers are mods you have to fit to the warframe. To do that, you need to level it up a bit, then go to the arsenal screen, and press triangle on the warframe to upgrade it. The number of mod points a mod costs is written on the mod itself, but that cost is halved if you match the symbol on the card with the mod slot.

Most of the features of this game are poorly documented, you just have to find out most stuff through trial and error.

And yes, you're supposed to team up. Soloing is very difficult when you're just starting out.
