Recommended Posts

Any differences between regular Warframe and Warframe China?
  • The update speed of Warframe China will be similar to consoles, somewhat slower than PC
  • Other than that, don't trust all that rubbish that Google Translate gave regarding exclusives
  • All the content will be based on the global build
  • If there were Chinese Warframe exclusives, they will be announced
 
Are consoles getting Update 16 soon?
  • Will be submitted early next week, then have to wait for cert, will keep you updated

 
When are Senients appearing in-game?
  • Update 17 is titled Tombs of The Sentients, there might be glimpses and teasers... stay tuned
 
New emotes?
  • Working on a batch of emotes to put in at once
  • Eclipse Narta is returning
  • There's a generic Tenno greeting, as well as the "secret handshake" for each Syndicate
  • Click
    to see the two-player emotes!

 
When are we getting a Warframe PS4 theme?
  • It's being finalized, it looks awesome
 
Why did gore get nerfed after it became rated M?
  • Scott loves the gore
  • Some of the classic Grineer enemies can be cut up in many ways, but newer enemies can't
  • Also, Damage 2.0 effects might've overwrote some of the gore
  • Would like to go back and make Warframe gory again

 
Are selectable holster positions on the table? Dex Dakra holster is bad
  • Maybe... It's very difficult to implement considering the number of weapons and frames
  • All the clipping issues are addressed individually, so it's a lot of work to add more positions
  • Working on potentially adding more points of contact so that the weapons don't look pinned on, but lay naturally to the contour of the Warframe
  • Definitely considering changing Dex Dakra's holster position
  • Working on a  new weapon type that will have a totally new holster position
 
Boltor tonfas
  • Not recycled weapons, a lot of work goes into them!
  • These are based off of weapons that people love, and want themed loadouts
  • From a lore perspective, a family of related weapons is interesting
  • Puncture based damage!
  • Corpus electric prod tonfas is recognized as a great community idea... maybe coming later?
  • Click
    to see the Boltor tonfas in action! (something else hidden in this clip regarding Excal?)

Ultimate goal for quest system?
  • Make them more stable
  • Make it easier to build them so adding more is easier
  • Ultimately, it'd be great to have player generated quests

 
Toggleable animations (meditation)?
  • Yes, we'll get to it. Just a coding issue
 
Next batch of PVP balanced Warframes and ETA?
  • Ember and Nyx, coming in 16.5! There will be new weapons/modes added to PVP in 16.5 as well.

When will we be able to colour the interior of our lisets?
  • Hopefully coming 16.5

How long does it take to update something to use PBR?
  • Excalibur PBR update was 3-4 days, and that was rushing to get it done in time for the Sentient trailer!
  • Can take up to a week
  • All Warframes will get PBR, hopefully the process will be sped up in the future
  • Soma and Galatine PBR shown

 
New cloth mechanics?
  • There's a new cloth physics system coming that has much more realistic physics
  • An upcoming syandana will use the new cloth physics system, which is dated to be coming next wednes-day!
  • These new physics will sub-sequentially be applied to Trinity's skirt and the other frames that need cloth physics updates
 
Vermillion Storm (claw stance) when?
  • Working on a few attacks, almost done. Hopefully 16.5

 
Directx 12 support?
  • Looking into it. Want always keep Warframe accessible to players with dated systems, but it seems very appealing
 
Anything for the future of Syndicates?
  • There was no particular goal in-mind with syndicates, it was just supposed to be one more thing for players to do
  • It seems to be resonating particularly well with veteran players, so it will be updated as needed
  • Syndicate specific quests would be a great addition, that explores the lore behind them
  • Syndicate Primaries are coming! Someday!
  • Syndicate skins, like Simaris' Helios skin will be added!

 
What is Teshin?
  • Not a Tenno
  • Wait for Teshin-related quests to find out more about him
  • Teshin knows what Lotus did in the past and holds it against her!
 
Anything on the next Raid/Trial?
  • First, Nightmare version of Law of Retribution
  • Nightmare Retribution will hopefully be 16.5
  • Hopefully the next Trial will be Update 17
  • Will involve Archwing
  • Would like to add a new trial each major update

 
Future of coptoring?
  • Parkour 2.0 will affect coptoring! Confirmed!
  • Anything mobility related, including Super Jump and Tailwind, is up for a potential re-work
  • These changes might also affect PVP gameplay, making it less speed-oriented
  • The intention isn't to remove them completely and alienate players that are used to the mechanics, they'll just be tweaked
 
Tyl Regor update?
  • High mobility boss
  • Gorilla hands and Sword+Board stance
  • Tyl Regor's Sword+Board will be available to players
  • Will be added along with his underwater tileset
  • Click
    to see lots of new Tyl Regor animations!

 
Any chance for a Stalker re-work since Manic Grineer seems to be more threatening?
  • Yes, enthusiastically. Stalker needs to be a lot more awesome!
 
Any incoming weapon buffs?
  • Shotguns/Snipers definitely need a look
  • Nothing specific right now
  • Focusing on Excalibur

 
Excalibur re-work coming?
  • Initially, wanted to look at Frost for a potential re-work
  • Realized that Excalibur was in a more desperate need of re-work
  • Excalibur is becoming a swordsman frame
  • Slash Dash will ping pong in between enemies in a cone-area rather than a straight line. Similar to how it's employed in the
  • Slash Dash will be cancellable, and doing so will automatically equip your melee weapon, making it easier to swap
  • Radial Blind will be able to be used on the move, rather than stationary
  • Radial Blind will open affected targets up to finishers, with custom finisher animations for the energy sword
  • The energy sword will replace his ghostly Skana, and be an original design
  • Super Jump will be trashed
  • Radial Javelin will become Excalibur's third power, and it will be adjusted to it doesn't overlap with Radial Blind in terms of use
  • Excalibur's ultimate will be similar to Hysteria, where Excalibur enters into a fighting stance with his energy sword
  • The energy sword will fire waves of energy with each slash
  • It will have custom animations and combos, like Hysteria
  • New Excalibur helmet coming too!
  • Don't worry Frost players, he's next in line after Excalibur

 
Any ETA on Mios?
  • Nope. Animation is proving very difficult
 
Why was Frost Prime and his gear put into the vault?
  • Once the Void is destroyed and the distribution is re-worked, anything is up for grabs
  • Hopefully, "Void Fatigue" will be removed. You'll still be able to visit, but won't be forced to, you'll be able to visit all the tilesets.

 
Ordis keeps mentioning the Orbiter... coming soon?
  • There's something coming...
 
Sticky Grenade mod for Penta?
  • That's a pretty reasonable idea for an augment mod for Penta
  • Unfortunately, can't implement ideas as quickly as they're generated

 
Any plans for more mini-games like Wyrmius?
  • There are a lot updates coming to Warframe Nexus, the mobile app
  • Adding sign-in to the app that allows players to access clan-chat, inventory, crafting, potential minigames that will affect the main game
  • Update 17 might include a Liset-related minigame
 
Any Focus updates?
  • The augments, arcane enhancements, and everything else have cannibilized Focus System. It'll come when it's done being cannibilized, which who knows when that will be.

 
Mastery Rank rewards? Login Rewards updates?
  • There's definitely work that's gone into both of these. Not concrete enough to discuss specifics, but it's going to be re-worked.
  • Some of the login rewards will be some really big, important stuff. Seems implied that it might not be RNG related, but based on a specific number of logins.
 
Any plans for new Sentinels/Kubrows?
  • Yes. Always looking for ideas to expand both sets
  • There will be threads for the Design Council to vote on regarding this
  • Eventually will get another Prime Sentinel

 
Any plans for Archwing expansion?
  • The next Trial will involve Archwing use, hoping to get Archwing very clean for that
  • Also, Sharkwing will expand it a lot
 
Will Dojos get the hosting system that Relays have?
  • Yes

 
Any update on the starchart simplification?
  • That's a pretty huge question
  • Stay tuned for a developer workshop for more details coming
  • Imagine what's there now, completely different
  • Simplified!
  • Matchmaking doesn't have to look at 330 nodes
  • Better rotations for reward structures
  • When you sign in, there's always something interesting to do, even if you don't want to do syndicate missions
  • There are added rewards for doing a string of missions, and more
  • The amount of Mastery given will remain the same, even if nodes are changed/removed/added
 
Will The Lotus get updated?
  • The Lotus has a backstory, but she is generally very factual and honest, so she's not particularly annoying as a guide for players
  • She will be visiting the Relays, and the relationship with Teshin might be explored

 
Ever going to be more than one warframe on the obstacle course?
  • That'd be awesome, maybe when there's time to add it?
 
Chat/Trading 2.0 when?
  • Trading particularly needs a look. Definitely something in the sights

 
Permanent head attachments?
  • No, not yet
  • Lots of Warframes have strangely shaped heads... creating any cool permanent head attachments might not work with some headshapes
  • They also might restrict future helmet designs.

Is Excaliber getting a new skin?

 

He looks really weird in that clip doesn't he? Honestly I've barely touched him since he got the PBR update, so I wasn't sure how much of it was due to that. Rebecca mentioned there was some secret regarding Excal in that clip, so I'd love confirmation on what exactly it is...

Those boltor tonfas looks really good, too bad i dont like how they hold on your back, wish i can change that in the future.

 

Thanks for the overview as always.

 

I think on certain frames, they'll look awesome. Can't wait to see Nekros with Boltonfas and Cernos on his back :D

 

And you're welcome~

Where can i go to watch the full devstream? I miss it cause you guys gave out the wrong time. That is all. Thanks

They didn't give out the wrong time. It's 2p DE time (Est). If you missed it then it's cause you aren't in the same time zone as DE

Edit: you can find it on YouTube. PlayWarframe is then channel
