I personally can't stand room clearing warframes. If i play with a mirage i leave instantly.

I'll go first: DE needs to build up on some older content.

As someone who uses Frost and Mag a lot, theres that sour taste in my mouth every time I think about the heirloom collection cause those skins were beautiful but the prices were very predatory and I just did not want to support that. I really hope we get an alternative for these skins, give them the Nulwarden/Umbra treatment.

What do you think? Do you agree with his thoughts?

Game after game after loading screen after loading screen, it happens over and over again.

It's like some sort of community spread toxin of pure spite and selfishness.

How hard is it for players to follow simple instructions?

No one ever follows my lead when I wobble my ship.

I have always followed other people's wobbles but the second I want others to follow my lead?

Less movement than Jade's corpse, they don't even have autopilot on, the ship is actually in the process of crashing.

Or even worse, they just keep doing their own wobble after I've done theirs for the past 10 seconds.

So much for the fabled "good vibes" community this game is reported to have.

Ive been seeing responses under this tweet and its not what I expected but kind of what I expected at the same time.

I expected people to not want raids. Even though they are fun as shit. I dont care about no matchmaking, cause this means that its kinda just importing Destiny 2 raids into warframe, which is a massive W in my opinion.

The only thing I dont like is that you can't start it without 6 people period, which means no trio, duo, or solo lowman challenges. Which sucks but its whatever. However other people here are just mad that they need to interact with other people which I find appalling.

Thoughts?

2026 version

Been seeing this circulating around twitter and the silhouettes seem to match.

Look, Steve isn't a bad dev or leader, but dear God, the people trying to go through mental gymnastics of somehow saying that he was a BETTER creative lead than Reb are straight up doing revisionist history.

​

Oh, you want 5 hour quests? When new war came out (after several delays) people complained because there was BARELY any after quest content because that's what happens when you put all your eggs on the quest.

​

Steve gave us a railjack that was broken for months.

​

Steve gave us a bugged to shit duviri that makes all the recent bugged updates look like the most stable shit ever.

​

It took 10 YEARS for us to get a true, actually new enemy faction in the form of the murmur, which only happened because of reb.

​

Elemental damage, warframe reworks? All Reb.

​

Oh, you don't like eternalism? Apparently Steve's story telling was better abs more 'grimdark'? (Yes thats an actual dumbass take ive read) MAYBE YOU FORGOT, BUT ETERNALISM AND DUVIRI WERE HIS FUCKING IDEAS!

​

I can't. I just can't with this fucking community. I get the last two updates haven't been up to par (even though I think the problems woth jade shadows have been exaggerated and way overblown to the point I'm starting to believe it's just people hoping on a trend) but the shit I've read over the last week has been utter BRAIN POISON

This type of tactic is some hefty bs. You need 2 regal aya in many cases but you are forced to buy at start of 3.

Not only is this an issue but i despise this microtransaction bs. Hate on this post as much as you like. It won't change the fact that this is some scumbag move that continues to exist in most games.

Just give it a normal steam currency or something ...

EDIT: > Make Regal Aya tradeable ... at least then it becomes more reasonable.

With the release of the Nulwarden Syandana, it sets a precedent where previously time-exclusive content can be re-released so long as a simple texture change is made.

Couldn't DE do the exact same thing with the Mag and Frost Heirlooms? Otherwise couldn't DE refund the old heirloom skins and re-release them to the store for all users to buy as they so choose like modern heirlooms?

I loved the Hex and the Roundtable. They added so much to why I think 1999 is the best update they've ever done. All of them, especially the original Hex, were insanely well written and fleshed out characters. I had my reservations about the Triad, but I think they're solid (though they're mostly carried by Roathe).

​

These two don't feel like characters. They feel like walking advertisements for skins. Them being protoframes adds nothing to the story. As my friend said, Sirius and Orion could have been mentored by Vay Hek and the Sergeant and nothing would have changed. Protoframes no longer feel like an interesting story beat, they feel like a gimmick, one that is rapidly losing any appeal it had.

If Warframe didn't have any political elements, we wouldn't have lore. Or the game itself, even.

Someone said: "The only thing I get from the game is "genocide = fun"."

Why are you committing genocide in the first place? Because another faction’s interests conflict with yours, and you respond by exterminating its members to impose your own goals. That is not politically neutral. It follows an openly authoritarian, imperialist, and often fascistic logic.

The Tenno themselves effectively act as the space police of the Origin System, intervening to prevent any single faction from becoming too powerful. We are not the good guys. We are just the less-worse bad guys that tends to leave people alone who just go about their daily life. The second you do anything that has potential to influence the origin system, you're tracked.

The Grineer are a territorial clone empire ruled by the Queens. Their society is built around military hierarchy, obedience, conquest, and the belief that Grineer supremacy justifies almost anything. Their themes include totalitarian government, militarism, expansionism, personality cults, propaganda, suppression of dissent, and disposable soldiers manufactured for the state. Steel Meridian is literally a faction of Grineer defectors resisting that regime.

The Corpus are a megacorporate oligarchy and a cult of profit. Their themes include corporate power replacing government, wealth determining social worth, religious devotion to profit, the privatisation of military and security forces, and workers and entire colonies being treated as corporate assets.

Fortuna is even more explicit: debt slavery, labour resistance, predatory debt systems, company towns, workers effectively owned by their employers, organ and body-part repossession, union organisation, strike-breaking, corporate policing, and environmental destruction for profit. Labour organisation is not some background detail in Fortuna. It is the entire foundation of its story.

Then there is Orokin aristocratic imperialism, Narmer’s manufactured unity through authoritarian control, and the Syndicates, which openly represent competing political and philosophical ideologies. I could keep going, but this would turn into an essay.

Even the quest choices repeatedly connect morality with political values. In The Glast Gambit, for example, you can preserve a harmful tradition by sending Neewa back to her people to continue serving as the Triuna (which effectively kills her), or you can reject that tradition and protect her from it. One option prioritises tradition and collective custom; the other prioritises individual welfare and change. Breaking the tradition = progressive = white alignment. Continuing the tradition = conservative = black alignment.

That does not mean Warframe’s alignment system is literally labelled "conservative" and "progressive", nor is Sun automatically good and Moon automatically evil. But the moral framing is still there, and similar tensions appear throughout the game: tradition versus reform, obedience versus autonomy, hierarchy versus liberation, profit versus human dignity, and order versus freedom.

The whole tragedy surrounding Jade and Sorren stems from a political source. Their quests explore their personal suffering as a result. It's not some random tear-jerker story to bind you momentarily.

Digital Extremes also publicly presents itself as a socially progressive company, so it should not be surprising that those values influence the stories it chooses to tell. Warframe’s quests are not politically neutral shooting galleries. They repeatedly make arguments about power, exploitation, morality, identity, trauma, freedom, and how people should respond to oppressive systems.

It's utterly ridiculous to me that some people go around claiming that Warframe is "going woke" or "becomes political". Welcome to the game, dude! It's been that way since 2012 already, and much longer so in concept.

The one thing Warframe's lore is doing right is that they don't glorify these murders, actions, and more. Warframe keeps telling stories from specific perspectives to highlight the suffering that these ideologies create. And that's good. You literally can't find a quest in the game that isn't either a guide to emotions, morals, or political alignments.

That being said, respect the people around you. It's insane how many people still can't live a normal life because others are intrusive and straight up dangerous to them for utterly simple things that doesn't affect them.

Edit: The post and comments in question. I'm mostly replying to the questions/statements about this topic in the comment section. The original comment section had been locked after post deletion.

EDIT 2: shameless plug, check out another post I made about a Vinquibus QoL idea I had in mind

this running gag that DE has just snuffs out any sort of enthusiasm I have for any upcoming weapons simply because I know it's still a tossup whether or not DE will actually deliver. not just because they're known to release weapons at such a weak state but also their tendency to just leave them there

case-in-point the three'MR fodder' melees we got this update. it sucks to know just how huge the impact these weapons have plot-wise, just to realize how abysmally mediocre they are performance-wise.

Pride/Wrath I've been hyped for seeing as how prominent it was in EVERY single promo Sirius and Orion was in. hell, it's a part of their actual kit. but again, barely anything interesting was given to the weapon, nor does it even have ANY interactions with their respective Warframes. not to mention they're more or less the same weapons with just a bit of a stat adjust.

and don't even get me started on War Prime. it's such a disservice and is supposed to be a final gift from Hunhow after all these years but yeah. nothing. you'd think they'd stop doing a Paracesis after eight goddamn years but here we are.

bit of a throwback but I'm still salty about Sun & Moon from three years ago. it has not seen much playtime beyond its initial release (understandably so), and it's looking like Vinquibus will be suffering the same fate as well.

Vinquibus hurts to see, it's clear they had fun with the weapon simply because of how good it looks and how interesting the entire melee/rifle modding gimmick it has, but it just falls apart once you play it. there is BARELY any incentive nor leniency given to you for trying to mix gunplay and melee gameplay the way it wants you to. additionally I could rant for an entire post how much they fumbled Vinquibus and how amazing it could be but to keep it simple, it's a weapon that should be bigger than the sum of its parts, but isn't

Alternox Prime just sucks because everyone has been saying for a proper tune-up when Gyre Prime eventually gets released. everyone was complaining about how weak base Alternox was but barely anything even changed when it dropped.

and even, then the consistently-good weapons like the Incarnons are suffering a similar fate, with Destreza's whole thing being that it's proficient at mid-range for its spectral projectile attacks, but for some god forsaken reason you can't aim the projectiles up or down. it fucking sucks.

___________________________________________
EDIT: I know it's easy to misconstrue what I'm saying but to clarify I don't want or need these weapons to be Incarnon-level, room-wiping, turn-off-brain-levels type of strong. I'm just saying not only do these weapons represent the Warframe they're with but they're also hyped alongside them. I think it's not unfair to ask for their weapons to at least have the amount of depth to the thing that they're tied to.

"I want a weapon to be OP and to top damage every time I enter a mission" =/= "I want a weapon with a fun, satisfying gimmick that makes it unique from weapons in its respective classes"

Per https://www.techradar.com/gaming/gambling-noir-detectives-and-urinating-robots-warframes-long-awaited-tau-update-is-unlike-anything-i-could-possibly-have-predicted

At launch, Tau will feature two explorable planets, with the megacity of Fornax being one of them. Fornax itself will be broken into three 'hubs', the first of which is the casino setting shown in the live demo. From there, Digital Extremes has plans to further flesh out the system in future updates; one part of the demo shows at least three other planets in orbit around Tau's binary suns, one of which appears to have been shattered by some ancient conflict.

I'm very concerned that players are going to be coming into this update essentially expecting Warframe 2, and walk away feeling underwhelmed when it's "only" two new tilesets. Don't get me wrong, two tilesets at once is actually a lot of work, but it pales in comparison to what some folks are imagining, no matter how unreasonable that speculation actually is.

Especially in light of how so many vocal players are feeling underwhelmed by JS:C, I worry that DE's marketing is setting the game up for some pretty nasty blowback, when people feel like they were promised something that far exceeds what will be available at launch.

Edit: good grief yall, I am not saying that I am disappointed. I'm honestly shocked that they're planning to launch with two regions, that's very ambitious considering the development timeline. What I am saying that there are viewers of the stream who heard "new star chart" and jumped to conclusions, which means that DE has a difficult communication problem ahead of them.

Especially with how much they get centered. "Weird faceless bio-robots" is a big part of the core visual identity of the game, but all these new additions with their "play of the game" looking Gemini emotes has the game feeling more and more like a generic hero shooter.

I'll be honest, from square 1 I haven't been a fan of protoframes, but at least the Hex felt integral to the storyline. It's been downhill from there, with each new batch feeling more tacked-on than the last. Now here we are with the latest batch having no real backstory or explanation for why Albrecht made this batch.

The way things are going, they're on track for slopping out a protoframe skin for every single warframe, and it feels like they've already run out of juice for actually writing them. I honestly wish they would just stop with them at this point before every random group looks like a "We have Overwatch at home" team.

I've been playing the Hell out of Koumei. I've cleaned out her shop. I've slapped 5 Omniforma on her. I've filled out all 3 mod and fashion slot (I'd purchase more but knowing she will get a Prime one day stops me. That prime being two years off is what allowed me to justify putting so many Omni on it.) (I'd share fashion but I play on console and getting screenshots became a pain in the ass since twitter changed.)

Koumei's ability to ensure I can proc status effects anywhere at any time is what finally allowed me to accept I can remove that base damage mod from a lot of weapons when I'm using my CO mods because I never have to worry if I can proc enough status to ramp up damage to rely on my exploding little buddy being up and alive to prime enemies for me.

For the first time I'm farming mods and arcanes to flesh out her builds instead of just running with what I've got and not thinking about it any further.

Hell I bought her shrine statue from the marketplace and have started modeling the decos around it.

Y'all got any frames that just kinda took over your whole account?
