Going to do the Saya questline on Loki Prime right now. I primarily use the following weapon set up.
I'll sometimes change the weapon damage type by switch an elemental mod around.
- Vaykor Hek (Primed Point Blank, Hell's Chamber, Shell Shock, Toxic Barrage, Seeking Fury, Contagious Spread, Charged Shell and Blaze) 11,227 corrosive.
- Lex Prime (Hornet Strike, Barrel Diffusion, Primed Pistol Gambit, Primed Target Cracker, Primed Heated Charge, Hollow Point, Lethal Torrent, Deep Freeze) 2,668 blast.
- Orthos Prime (Fever Strike, Primed Reach, Virulent Scourge, Berserker, Shocking Touch, Primed Pressure Point, Spoiled Strike, Voltaic Strike) 681 corrosive.

I wouldn't worry about that too much, the quest itself is probably the easiest thing they've ever added. (Non-crit Vay Hek build though?)
Getting the rest of the parts via bounties is another story. The easiest one feels like a mid-tier mission, second one feels like Sedna level, and the third is already like soloing a sortie. I think they're all vastly overtuned for the level the bounties claim to be, and if you get the drone escort as part of your series you're just fucked. I'm actually planning to try Loki Prime today using a hybrid invis/irrad. disarm build, but I still doubt escorts will be doable beyond the lowest level of bounty. I also don't know how the hell I'll sustain energy without Zenurik either.
I've been using Sybaris Prime (75% crit/78% status), Akstiletto Prime (95% status/33% crit) , and Atterax (Maiming Strike spin to win) mainly. I feel like Akstiletto's status is getting the job done way better than Sybaris, so I'm thinking about swapping to a 100% status Tigris Prime setup for when I need to drop something really annoying. Everything else I can just bullet hose. Atterax I've barely gotten to use, too easy to die trying to get into melee range.
Other random complaints:
Focus system. It's just terrible (still). So much operator stuff, Naramon and Zenurik both look useless and those are the ones I have greater lenses (and a bunch of refunded xp) for, and the grind is worse than ever. Daily cap got raised because everything costs more. Not sure how the new tier of lens works since it just says eidolon lens on it and doesn't specify a school. Also don't know how many greater lenses it takes to craft one, so I'm unwilling to re-install any of mine. As far as I can tell, the actual xp gain is still as obtuse and counterintuitive as ever.
Having to run back to the door every. goddamn. time. is already getting on my nerves, as does every time I see the next waypoint for a bounty pop up and it's 1500m away. It almost makes me want to play Destiny 2 for a couple days and come back when the Archwing research is done... except they're pretty expensive in PoE materials to build so I need to go fishing and collecting other stuff so I can start building them right away. I'm also hoping that being able to hop into Amesha or Itzal will make some of the really overtuned stuff easier to deal with. I think I need to build a Grattler though; neither Fluctus nor Velocitus seem ideal for air-to-ground combat.
Escorts. Reddit is on fire about these--and rightly so--so I assume they'll get changed in an early hotfix.
Frost Prime is usually my frame of choice, and I even bought the smoke palette that allows me to set my energy color to the blackest black and make it super easy to see out of the snow globe.... but something about the lighting in PoE has ruined that. Snow globe is almost completely opaque and I can only shoot at stuff out of it by getting a vague idea of where shots are coming from and moving the mouse around until I see a nameplate. Also, I get killed *through the globe* all the time because it's apparently not stopping the splash damage from explosions. Mortar turrets and bombards are the two most overtuned things, and when you combine that with not being able to see out the bubble I just can't play Frost at all.
For as big an update as this is supposed to be it's already feeling same-y. Possibly because I'm just doing the "easy" three bounties over and over since I've yet to get a single Gara part as reward, but I wasn't expecting the caves to be inaccessible/empty unless they're part of a bounty or incursion (which is just a mini-bounty). In fact, the whole map feels kind of dead aside from the places you're sent to to complete tasks. Nighttime just shuts off incursions and adds in sentients to kill with the operator (but Quills rep is bugged atm according to reddit, so don't try to hand in the cores).
Hopefully with a few hotfixes they'll clean up a lot of the issues, but I still think I'll be back doing normal missions quickly anyway since what I need most is endo and there's not really any source of that on PoE at all.

I thought you only get the frames, not the archwing weapons in PoE.That pretty much sums up my experience too, I was thinking about jumping back in , but it feels like they turned the grind up to 11 and the place is shit for anything outside PoE. I think I'll wait for a few weeks until they fix most of the bugs and nerf some of the more insane crap. It's basically signature Warframe move, add new systems that won't be used ever again.

I got an achievement yesterday for killing 100 enemies with my "archwing" (read: I was playing Titania) so I assumed that weapons and abilities *are* active, contrary to rumors going around earlier this week. I'm sure some people out there have bought the archwing foundry segment for 175p, but I haven't seen any streamers use it yet.

Spent the entire fucking day in PoE and I don't have a single Gara part yet, doing 1-2-3 then repeating 1 until it's a new day. Slowva is great for the first but I tried like 10 different frame setups and I cannot come up with a single loadout that is able to complete second and third bounty efficiently (multiple deaths/potential failure if there's a drone escort/slow-as-shit movement). I especially love it when the last stage of a bounty is to find the three hidden loot crates while an endless stream of enemies spawn and a mortar turret like a mile away shells the area, and I fail on time.
Edit: And yeah, I get what you mean now,
Zaphid
... you get the AW and AW abilities, but you're still using WF weapons. No need to farm an insane amount of oxium for Grattler, yay.

Was trying to do the 20-40 bounties last night and we kept insta failing the 3rd part once we got to the waypoint with no indicator as to why. And I mean, we'd fly right into the center of the circle and then fail. Are they stealth missions or something we were missing? :/

I solo'd the max level bounty up to stage 3-4 (as Ember Prime) and got put down at the last 20 seconds of the defend the console part. I stupidly forgot to change my shotty from Magnetic back to Corrosive after doing the Sortie and thus, the Bombards took way too long to kill, had to resort to the Blast modded Lex. The escort part of that mission was interesting though, seems the Drone only moves when you're close to it, so I found you can get it moving, jump ahead when you see the landing ships coming, smash them and return to the drone and keep running with it.

Well, at least leaving Twitch (iFlynn) going in the background muted 24/7 since PoE launch finally paid off--just got a fully built and potatoed Vectis Prime in one of the drop messages. Free weapon slot too.
Still extremely salty about bounties though, 0 pieces for Gara and I've done about 20 hours of PoE so far. Fortunately all the frames I farmed this week are starting to finish so I get to take a break from bounties to level up and maybe forma Banshee P, Valkyr P, Nidus, Octavia, and Harrow.

What a mess this is. Where to even start...
- AW gated behind stupid grind. They were harping so much about flying outdoors, and then it turns out you need AW charges to use it, and the amount of mats required is stupid. Won't even bother.
- Focus changes. One monumental fuck you, nothing new though as it was announced a few weeks ago. So much time waste farming this crap and it's almost all useless now (took all passives, operator crap I don't care about).
- More forced operator crap. I'm still MR23 because I don't want to do the MR24 test (guess why, it's more operator crap). Eidolons gated behind operators, yeah fuck off.
- Bounties. Most of the rewards are garbage. Plus reward pool too large (1 random out of 9? items) for how much time they take (and if you fail last phase you are back to square one, which leads us to...). So many bugs that will fuck you over. I don't have any problems with difficulty, I was only doing the hardest ones (loki, 100% status rad tigris, the rest doesn't matter) and it was all fairly easy except the hidden caches part a too big wildcard (failed that a few times, IMO they should increase the timer, or even remove the damn thing as it doesn't make sense since the enemy is not even looking for them).
- Operator removing the stealth now (maybe a bug, dunno). Yeah, I'm totally gonna switch to operator mode to gain a little energy, so I can get 1-shot afterwards when I switch back to my frame. I might as well just suicide and respawn (talking about sortie2/3 difficulty, the rest is mostly a joke anyway). I still find it stupid how they still insist on you starting everything with low energy. Come to Cetus with 600+, immediatelly turn around and exit, and you are back to ~100.
- Constructed 'welcome to las vegas part 43' weapons. Way too much RNG. I don't know... First they effed up with rivens, and now this crap. Why should I even bother when I can use strong and reliable weapons, and just ignore all this RNG crap. I only use half a dozen weapons weapons that a fully upgraded and properly modded, and destroy everything.
- More new resources to farm. And I still have no use for so much stuff that I have in million++ sized stacks.
Fishing is the only good thing they've added.
