@humanity: Agreed, Nyx has a couple of really interesting tricks between Chaos and Absorb. Mind Control and Psychic Bolts are pretty lackluster, though. One of the reasons I like her for T4 void play is her balanced stats (on top strong 3/4 abilities).
@zeik: Agreed, but I know a lot of new players struggle with the difficulty, and Rhino can be a way to surpass that, getting to figure out a lot of the game. Stomp is also a rather satisfying ability to use.
Though... I think that since Molecular Prime (Nova) was changed, Saryn's Miasma is probably the single most satisfying ability to use. It's just so utterly brutal.
Overall, most frames have something going for them - none of them are really weak, outside of some of the more difficult current content. But the game isn't really balanced around that content anyway.
If you're new and want a frame to build, absolutely go for Rhino. Rhino's been one of the very best warframes in the game since his introduction. He's basically invulnerable which can be real handy while you're still learning. Nova is also good to the point where she's broken, mostly due to her ability to kill entire rooms of enemies instantly.
A couple other great ones are Nyx and Saryn.
As true as this is, in regards to Rhino, it's worth mentioning that Iron Skin is a crutch, and if you go into "endgame content", you are likely to find that Iron Skin just isn't cutting it anymore. That can be a rude awakening if you've not picked up the necessary skills to survive without Iron Skin. :)
But yeah, it's a great frame to get started (probably still my most played).
@onarum: Not directly. I don't know exactly what's involved in creating a clan these days, it used to be just entering into a menu and picking a name for the clan.
That puts you into a ghost clan, allowing up to 10 members. You'll need to develop your Dojo to make the clan larger than that (building reactors for dojo energy, halls for dojo capacity and then building barracks to extend the size of the clan) - but that costs resources, some which may be rare for new players (unless you go to the market) (and each clan-size upgrade approximately triples the amount of resources needed to build the next tier). But starting with a Ghost Clan and seeing how it feels is not an unreasonable idea.
Once invited into the alliance, everyone in the clan gets access to an Alliance chat with everyone else in the alliance, so we can answer questions and run missions. :)
Ok, The "Giant Bomb Alliance" alliance has been created - and our first sister clan (Batman Buttman Batman) has been invited.
We may still need more clans in the Alliance to handle everyone who has asked for an invite, but I'm still figuring out how much space there is in BBB for new members.
(As a sidenote: unfortunately, it was discovered that it's not possible to share blueprints across an alliance - you can only buy blueprints from the clan you are in.)
@ajamafalous: Of course we do, you were unfortunately part of the big purge earlier in the week - if only you'd spoken up sooner! :)
@shozo: Sorry no, the Developers were discussing crossplatform functionality, but it didn't work out, so all clans and accounts are platform specific :(
To everyone: We're still working on sorting things out with the overflow clan, someone will let everyone know when the floodgates are open again :)
(Feel free to keep asking for invites in the other thread, keep it in one place to make it easier when we do start inviting again! Thanks!)
@deathtrap: Primarily, Primed items have 1-2 additional polarities on their slots to begin with, and some have slightly better stats.
For instance, the latest Primed Warframe, Nova has 100 health, 175 energy at base (with 3 V polarity slots) compared to normal Nova with 100 health, 150 energy (again, at base) - with 2 V polarity slots.
Adding a Reactor (for Warframes or a Catalyst for Weapons) will permanently double the capacity per rank of your item, so the timing/rank doesn't matter, a supercharged rank 30 item will have 60 capacity. As long as you don't sell the item, there's no way to remove a catalyst/reactor that has been used. Effectively, it's a function of the level, with no worries about when to use it to get the most out of it (which becomes sooner the better, as you'll have the benefit of it sooner)
Worth noting that reactor/catalyst blueprints are very rare, most reliable after the developers have their livestreams (usually 24 hour alerts), but can appear as random alerts as well.
Because of the rarity, most make sure they like an item before they supercharge it.
