I lost interest in IV once they started rolling back the difficulty.

I can't say Warframe is known for its difficulty. If your modding isn't up to par, you will start to struggle at some point.
There are a handful of super bosses and endgame activities that push difficulty a little. And you can always solo level cap.

There are a lot of systems you can get lost with in the beginning. For a new player, I would focus on the main quests, then side quests, then finishing the star chart. The open worlds on Earth, Venus, and Deimos can be a bit of wasted time for new players.
Most base frames are farmed from assassination missions. Each takes three component blueprints and one master blueprint to craft. This process takes 84 hours. Weapons take 12-24 hours to craft. A lot of new players are put off by the crafting times.
The Wiki is extremely helpful in figuring things out like where to find mods, how to farm materials, drop rates, etc. I use it a good bit when targeting something specific.
Modding can be overwhelming, but if you take the time to understand your frame's defenses, how you sustain energy, and what stats are most appropriate for your abilities, it can become very easy. Same with weapons and damage - understand the damage buckets, what's additive, and what's multiplicative. But this isn't too relevant until much later in the star chart.
And there are inventory slots for everything. Slots can only be purchased with platinum, the premium currency. Fortunately, there's a very active trading system you can get a ton of platinum from.
If you get stuck or want any help with anything, let me know.

Wasn't expecting or needing 7 inches of rain the last few days. Potatoes may be a loss this year. Starting to see end rot on the tomatoes. Hopefully, it will work itself out as the soil dries...it did after the previous heavy rain.
We're picking squash and peppers by the boatload. Cucumbers are starting to come in. Beans are not fans of all the rain, but they should bounce back.
I need to side dress the corn and tomatoes, but that isn't happening until the end of the week at the earliest.

re: Sony earnings: takes additional 500 million write down for Bungie
Posted by Devious on 5/8/26 at 10:43 am to imjustafatkid
Every time Bungie had an ownership change, people thought it was good. More cash, more developer resources, etc. Then when Bungie went to self-publishing, people thought Bungie could finally do what they wanted to do. And then Sony was supposed to save Bungie.
Turns out, Bungie just wanted to hemorrhage cash on ideas that never saw daylight while neglecting the IP that actually made money. It will be an interesting case study on mismanagement.

Hit MR30. I've made my own Dante and Noctua builds and have completed ETA with them multiple times. At this point, I want to find a few more frames and weapons I like and make builds for them.
This has been a really fun game, and I'm glad I gave it a fourth chance.

Pillage has weeds in his beds...he is human after all.
I've honestly never thought about that. Off to research.

All is going well here. Except the rain shortly after planting potatoes. Not the stand I was wanting, but I'll be grateful for what did come up.
Everything is in...10 and a half 50' rows...
2 rows of potatoes
2 rows of tomatoes
1 row of peppers
4 half rows of corn
4 half rows of green beans
1 half row of watermelon
1 half row of cucumbers
1 half row of squash
I'm beat

2 packs at $4/pack vs. $1 per plant for 76 plants... I'm cheap :lol:
I will have three 50' rows of tomatoes and peppers. I'm not covering anything :lol:

Mine is 3/22, but if the weekend of, I don't see anything 10 days out, I'll take that calculated risk on transplanting.
Besides, most of what I start is from seed anyway. So it's practically no risk.

You early planters never learn...we see it every year :lol:

That's my plan for the weekend. And looks like 6" of rain right after planting potatoes didn't hurt. They're starting to break through.
For those just north of I-12...it is time.
Have fun in the parking lot :lol:
I'm glad I was back last week before this foolishness hit

Potatoes in after a whirlwind of a week. I think I'll have a pour later.

It helps a little. I'm going to be a week late on potatoes because of some rain and a short-notice work trip. Off to an expected start lol

You early guys irritate me...I just transplanted peppers and tomatoes. Won't get them in the garden until late March if weather cooperates.
