Any kiwis have any good guides to mod farming? Haven't played since the game was fresh (Loki was my starter frame).

If its been that long and you don't know what you want to get, the only real advice is to buy a mod drop chance booster from the market and just play the game. I guess also talk to every vendor in every location to see what they have for sale, since some mods have to be purchased with resources instead of farmed off enemy kills.
 
I played the new quest and:
They really showed sentients to be a volatile force prone to chimpouts if not fed a steady supply of fent, then they framed any opposition to peace and coexistence with them as ignorant, prejudiced haters. Even this Adis sentient literally said "why do they hate?" in response to the antagonist talking about them becoming feral. "But he didn't kill the antagonist after everything she's done to him! Isn't the supposed monster more humane than the hateful, hateful human???" I hate this hippie message of valuing "peace", no matter how shallow and performative it is.

Play the game and pray to the Warframe gods that mods drop. I'd say there are very few mods I had to chase and the ones that I did were mainly boss/elite enemy drops like the Sedna boss mods because I'm unlucky.

The best part of the new story is the Uriel Genocide. Seriously, the loading screen alone is literally worth the unironic walking simulator bullshit you have to go through to get to it.

With The New War it's just been downhill. Lore/story was awesome while we still had a lot of gaps to fill with our own headcanon, but the more they define, the shittier it becomes.

The Old Peace reminded me of this movie and I wouldn't be surprised if some diversity hire dev just watched it and got "inspired":

In short:
Zombie virus gets cured, but the former zombies are discriminated against and hated. Then over the course of the movie it turns out they aren't really fully cured apart from having some free will. I don't remember the details as I watched it a long time ago but I think they were still connected to the hivemind and some still had their bloodlust. They even had cured politicians subverting the society. The "peace" falls apart as the lab holding resistant infected gets sabotaged and the tensions skyrocket. Of course there was some moral message about prejudice, too. But the movie wasn't as black and white though.

How appropriate for a film about creatures with rotting appendages and hiveminds to star Ellen Page.
 
Feels like reward balance was a struggle for DE this time around. Descendia is a fun game mode, but you're incentivised to knock out all the rewards in just a few hours by spamming floors 14-21 and the WarioWare-like appeal of the mode really fades when the actual maps only rotate weekly. Perita is more fun overall, but also has issues with reward pacing - Tauron strikes require ludicrous amounts of resources, to the extent that I'd got all the mods, the resources for all of the new equipment and maxed out several of the Tauron Arcanes without any boosters before getting my second strike (at an average of 10-11 objectives per mission). Leaves plenty to do when the event arrives, I suppose.

It's obvious that DE have come to terms with the fact that no other characters they've introduced have the presence or charisma of Ballas; he continues to steal every scene in this quest. That aside, this continues to have the same problem that they've really embraced since the New War of launching into every quest in medias res, as someone was complaining earlier, while also being allergic to connective tissue - every quest is more a series of vignettes than a story. Nothing is properly developed as we rush from set piece to set piece. At least some of the set pieces continue to be fun and Uriel delivered on the final Mynki design.
 
It was such a missed opportunity that the Orokin in the quest wasn't one of the six Seven members we haven't seen yet.

Come to think of it, in the Sacrifice, wasn't the intention that Ballas wanted to take revenge on the Orokin for glassing Margulis by leaking all the information about the Warframes to Hunhow? Which is what caused him to send Natah to Lua. Now that we know the Tenno interacted with the Sentients at all while Margulis is alive, where do those messages fall on the timeline? Was he already leaking intel to Hunhow before the Old Peace?
 
Ballas set the tenno up by having them reactivate the dormant zariman terraformers, knowing that it would lead back into war. He set the tenno up to do it because he didn't want to be the guy that broke the tie in favor of war. That betrayal is why the operator tries to storm the academy and kill him. Margulis knew about ballas' plan but isn't in a position to stop it (he way outranks her), so instead takes responsiblity for the tenno because an attempted murder of an executor would basically lead to the worst punishments that the orokin could come up with, and she wanted to protect her adopted kids. Because Margulis covers for the tenno, she is executed in their place. Ballas did actually love margulis, so when she is executed and there's nothing he can do stop it (pardoning her shows everyone there are zero consequnces to an attempted assassination of the one the second in command of the entire empire), he gets assmad about it. Lucky for him, the only ones who knew about his plot were his band of prime grineer (in his pocket), margulis (dead), adis (dead), and the tenno (in cryosleep). Some time later, now that peace is broken, the sentients show up ready for war, and then the other executors eventually want to use the tenno/warframes because they are almost about to lose the solar system to the sentient army (which is ironic because ballas broke the peace to try to steal their system). Once the tenno are back in play, ballas conctacts hunhow with the vitrivian from the sacrifice quest, which is how natah knew about the resevoir and would eventually lead to the second dream quest after she failed to kill them as planned. I'm assuming hunhow wasn't 'born' yet, because old peace is a long, long time ago. And if Ballas' plan had worked as intended, hunhow probably wouldn't have existed as we know him.

Early on there's obviously spy, bounties and defense missions. Prime relic farms also give you ducats which are required to get some of the better mods. Completing the story is also required to do steel path where all the best mods and arcanes are from. Other than get some friends, play the game and do some public squads for some loot. Spending a lot of time in relic missions and trading the prime parts for ducats or plat I really don't think there's any advice to give. I will say, since you can trade almost anything or buy it for plat, the best method is find a decent plat farm you find fun for the mods that are hard to get from missions you find boring and just do the fun farm.

They already "got inspired" by Children of Men when making Jade Shadows. When high-ranking CORPUS out of nowhere decides to let one of the most valuable objects in the entire system go.
The entire point of their existence is fucking Profit, you don't become commander of entire fucking Obelisk class ship by being a sentimental pussy. It's a materialistic cult, for Granum's sake.

So yeah, wouldn't be surprised.

That's all a retcon, by the way. Pretty sure originally Margulis was reduced to a pile of atoms for refusing to weaponize her research meant as therapy for Zariman children, because at that point its potential for that became apparent (as the incident described in Rhino Prime codex entry indicates). It was just vague enough for them to write this in.

The story is whatever flavour of the week anime Rebecca watched recently regurgitated through a team of writers/diversity hires.

I can buy it. If it was Nef Anyo I would agree with you, but the whole point of Deadlock Protocol and the ending inbox message is to show that Parvos values more than just money the way the modern corpus do. If Parvos actually does have values, Xeto probably has a chance with arguing that the new corpus aren't baby killers. If that doesn't work, then there is an argument that stalker is now in debt to them, and we know how much the corpus love being owed a debt. Alad v was willing to stick around for quite a while in second dream because the tenno owing him a favor was a big deal.

Farm nightmare missions or Orokin Vaults, if not as what another poster said, find a plat farm that doesn't destroy your brain, and you can buy the critical mods needed. That or you can ask someone in the recruiting chat, and I am sure numerous long time players will just give you some of their excess mods they haven't melted down.

Edit: I forgot to mention DE finally added a quest that teaches you the fundamentals of modding called "The Teacher." Do that, it'll likely reward some of the important mods you need too.

Tauron farming wouldn't feel so awful if you had more shit to craft with the resources you get from it.

I've farmed for two of the fucking things and already have the new frame and both weapons. Now every time I fire up that gamemode it feels like I'm wasting my time because the progression is so goddamn slow and I get nothing else out of it.

The fucking skins should have been weapons.
 
So I was looking at the list of honoria on the wiki and saw this:

Ack-AckPrefixAwarded for destroying 30 airborne units from the ground.
 
Just got that last night, just go for the flying bulkheads in perita, takes a little juice but once cascadia flare or merciless have some stacks, they melt like everything else.
