Twenty-five percent? Holy crap, I want this thing NOW. :D

Also, according to my maxed out codex entry for Excavators from the event, their hit points are a combination of Corpus shields... and Corpus flesh. o_o

Now that's a whole new can of worm: what should be stronger, limited edition stuff or prime equipment?

Whatever I get my hands on.

Knowing Zanuka project, I'm not even surprised.

well considering primes can get really anoying to get, and that loadsa ppl won't get a shot at the limited time stuff, i think primes(when aplicable) should stay on top, but limited time stuff shouldn't get too far behind, and mostly should work diferently from the prime/normal variant, for example, latron p has pretty much twice the base dmg of wraithron, but wraithron shoots faster and is crit oriented, while latron p is a high base dmg marksman rifle with high status support.

Apparently, according to some "leaked content", Nyx Prime is coming out in Update 15!

edited 29th Aug '14 5:22:05 PM by Delvarian

I'd be surprised if Nyx Prime was due for U15, Prime Warframes are not necessarily timed with major updates.

Still interesting I guess. The armor thing the dude was talking about is probably a shiny cosmetic from Nyx's Prime Access.

he also said hikou and scindo prime, i like the idea, been wanting a scindo prime for frost p for a while, that thing is going to be frking beautiful, whenever it comes out.

Hikou leaves me meh. While I kinda like the Scindo's aesthetic, I hardly ever use it. Tho I guess it's still nice to have. What I'd really one is a Tigris Prime that is balls to the walls OP.

In other news, guess what I got on my alt account.◊

And no, I can't use it on that account and trade it back to my main.

you mean the free plat don't you? 'cus i'm pretty sure if you bought plat wiht the discount you'd be able to trade it to your account.

speaking of alt accounts, have you built the clan key yet? i kinda can't get to making the plans for the dojo if i can't check wut rooms i can make n' all that XP.

also, i said scindo prime would be beautiful, not powerful, though all things considered it could be pretty darn powerfull too.

Hmmm. So I only see two kubrow patterns available in the market, but we can't select patterns that we already have to use for different kubrow. Seems to me that if you breed a kubrow with a pattern or color you should unlock that pattern or color for general use.

I mean, obviously the "technology" for switching patterns and colors on a given kubrow is already available since we can do it with market-bought stuff.

From what I read on the forums, using alt accounts to get discount and trade the bought plat is actually one of the thing that DE does not want players to do with alt-accounts. I'll play safe and not trade plat to my main, tho I may get some plat on this bad boy, maybe for 13 bucks (1000 plat).

I did build the key, I probably just forgot to give you permissions to enter the dojo (yes, new members need that, unless the warlord changes that).

What I meant to say is that I like base!Scindo for its aesthetic and I am looking forward to seeing Scindo Prime for its aesthetic as well.

I believe this is DE's attempt at keeping 'Breeding' relevant, even with market goodies available. The jury is still out on whether it's a sad attempt that just ends up making the Kubrows a weird mix between convenient customizable/breedable OR whether the system works fine.

Welp, I just managed to do the event. First couple tries were rather annoying due to teams that refused to stick together (or, in on case, even do the mission), but eventually I managed to scrape my way to 3k Cryotic on my most recent attempt despite a teammate bailing on us halfway through. Tomorrow, I help the rest of my clan do the same; I can already tell it's gonna be painful.

Also, somehow managed to get myself all the components I needed for a Bronco Prime when I wasn't looking. It's cooking right now, but while I wait, anyone know if it's any good?

i don't have it, but from what i've heard bronco prime is pretty good, though some prefer the regular bronco; also from what i've heard, bronco prime is very VERY good for making akbronco prime XP

You could say, it's a must.

Well, did the event in two runs, and first one only failed because host disconnected at 2900 and I got booted back to the menu.

...I may have accidentally broken something I owned after that, the details are fuzzy.

On the new weapons, tonfas look great, Glaxion doesn't seem terribly interesting over my Amprex, and Nukor just had me laugh(weep)ing at the crit damage/crit chance numbers.

I've been leaving comments in official forums lately... and noticed something strange. About half the threads just kind of die after I leave my post. Almost like everyone is shy... or realize that after I've said my mind, there is nothing to add and nothing to argue against. Yeah, the latter.

Oh, and I'm back in solo. Finished event and it was a breeze. Hardest part was when I got lost in new tileset. And usual spawn problems. I and one Banshee were feeding single extractor while other two did almost a dozen. I felt like leeching, but out of exp sharing radius, which is inefficiant way to leech.

just that exp sharing radius hasn't been a thing for a while, they changed it so that the entire squad would get exp regardless of how far you are from the others.

Source plz!

hotfix notes are your friend, i don't remember which hotfix it was, but i'm pretty sure it was during U13, could be wrong though.

Well, it should be easy to test. I assume after some distance numbers don't apear, but exp bar should still flicker. I guess. So... someone test please?

What did you guys think of the new excavation game mode anyway?

Honestly I thought it was fun, but the cluttered UI was the most annoying ever. Keeping track of 3 extractors with Lotus on top yapping about was a nightmare.

Also, the new ice level featured the most annoying marathon I've seen in Warframe. So much back and forth through huge tunnels of ice.

In other news, I am still fleshing out our alliance (which isn't hard, since it's just choosing a name and an emblem). I stopped my choice for the name on "Spirit Animal: Sloth" because I like Sloths and the clan mostly features lazy people. This is the current emblem◊, if we were to start the Alliance right now. Minor feedback on the name/emblem will be taken in consideration, but the concept is staying.

New post for the Cryotic Front event, includes results.

I'm still not 100% sure anyone here cares about that, but there you go.

If anything it tells us some people are really worried about their E-peen. I didn't do the math, but I wouldn't be surprised if a single player on the top of the leader board got a better score than our whole clan.

well i personally love the emblem (and who doesn't love sloths anyways?), not sure about the name,sounds a bit too much like a description or "trait" to me, but it's not like i have any better ideas.

speaking of the alliance thing, i personally think it'd be better if we could see if there's any clans that'd be interested in joining it before making it, after all wouldn't making an alliance with a single clan be kinda pointless?, idk just saying.

Dammit, I glitched out of my first T4 Survival run right at the end of everything and missed all the kickass loot and XP. >_< At least I'll have Rhino Prime in three days. Wonder if I should just sell off my old Rhino now that I'm getting a new one... I do have the room, but it's not like I'm gonna need him once the prime version arrives.

When/if the alliance starts, I'll open a recruitment thread on the official forums. We'll see there the interest. I'm heavily considering opening the shell TVT clan to recruitment on the official forums as well.

As for the name, well that's the issue with letting me name stuff, I think less of names and more of descriptive appellations.

I wish I wasn't so familiar with this feel. Just the other day I crashed out of a survival where we had tons of loot and exp. That was a kick in the groin.

Also, Endless, your clan leader is still interested by that alliance? (The alliance might actually happen in our lifetime!)

well then you shall name stuff no more!, and i shall not think of RPG character trait sheets when reading a name u made up either, then again noone else is making names, what are we to do? 0.o
