I'm thinking of picking up Platinum soon. I really like that new Banshee skin, but I've never played her. Is she a good frame? I know the Sonicor is a great weapon however.

Banshee's 4th is just disappointing 3rd is still okay since there's a lot of frame with niche utility skills but 4th is dumb
[QUOTE=Excalibuurr;50202332]4th is ridiculous, build that for max range and efficiency and you can effectively lock down the entire area.[/QUOTE] Still not good enough to justify the waste of time that is using it. It's like Banshee's winning move is not to play.
I crafted the redeemer to cheese the mastery test but holy shit it one shots level 35 enemies with no mods. What the fuck. I miss the room clearing of the Galatine but who needs that when you can clear the room without being in the room.
Speaking of Banshee I crafted her a few days ago and only now I noticed the huge ass fingernails that she has.
Well I just got a Limbo blueprint for a login reward. Looks like I have a new goal!
Good luck with getting he's chassis. Also enduring the boring ass AW missions.

Still waiting for Void Excavation :excited:

[QUOTE=helifreak;50203593]Archwing sucks. Excavation sucks. Interception sucks. Having to do all three and only getting a top hat sucks.[/QUOTE] Excavation is my favorite game mode. Also Archwing isn't that bad, but gets boring fast.
Survival is the most boring gamemode in Warframe.
[QUOTE=Excalibuurr;50202332]4th is ridiculous, build that for max range and efficiency and you can effectively lock down the entire area.[/QUOTE] Not really. It's the skill you use when you want to feel miserable and die. The only times I die with my Banshee is when I accidentally hit the 4 key and my Banshee slowly gets down and starts farting. The skill is just one of the most boring skills in the game. Sure it CAN do what you said, but why bother? There are other frames that can do the same, but only better and without the need of being stuck on the ground doing "nothing".

[QUOTE=Elspin;50203531]It's an excavation with a 1/3 drop chance on some of the rotations I don't know how that could possible be easier??[/QUOTE] Say that to me and _Charon that had to do almost 5 excavations all ranging from 30 to 40 minutes just to get he's stupid chassis. Not to mention if you're not doing with a frame like Frost that can protect the excavators while you get the power cells you can pretty much wave bye-bye to your digging site. Since corpus destroy the damn things faster than you can say SHAZAM!!
[QUOTE]In defense you can use your SKILL or your AMAZING BUILDS to get through it faster. [/QUOTE] Or waste 3 minutes searching for an enemy that got stuck on the geography or didn't even leave the spawn or better yet, 5-10 minutes in earth/phobos dark sector defense because an enemy got stuck under the fucking map and you dont have any frames with an AoE that can reach far enough to hit him [editline]26th April 2016[/editline] on the note of missions what happened to the missions changing mid-playthrough that used to happen so fucking often and even happened to one of my missions like 6 months before i got stuck on this metal floating cage but after that instance it never happens ever

I can solo a 40 minute run just fine with pretty much "anything". In defense I have to recruit a capable 4-man team if I intend to do 20 waves in less than 20 minutes or 40 waves in less than 40 minutes. Not to mention chasing down the last enemy which happens to be stuck somewhere. Or even worse if a Syndicate or Stalker attacks you could be force to wait like five minutes after a wave just to get them to spawn.

Try games without excalibur/ignis/simulor/tigris and suddenly you're saving what feels like 10 minutes each defense key you pull.

[QUOTE=Xron;50205850]Right now it feels basically like mobile def for me, I think it was a lot more fun before they nerf'd the rewards.[/QUOTE] On hiercacon you get all t3/t4 keys very reliably (me and 2 friends got t3 sab keys and got another set of loki systems last night), as well as packs of 5 r5 gold cores and a fair amount of credits. Seems like pretty decent rewards to me, but I'm curious what it is they nerfed, I don't think I was active when that happened
They haven't nerfed the rewards.
I think the rate at which you can get new excavators to spawn was nerfed, in a sense that nerfs the rewards because you can't get as many as quickly.

Like some of them are clearly recognizable via helmet and have a very clean recognizable look but others are such a clusterfuck of random objects sticking out it ends up more quantity than quality. Help if people didn't give them absurd colour schemes too.
They really need to implement a "material" option for at least Warframes. Some of then have really shiny looks that doesn't really work, others have distressingly matte surface that looks really bad. I'd love to be able to change that, if not for each piece along with its color, at least for the warframe as a whole.
