Alright, I understand passing the clan ownership to someone else if the warlord was inactive for a long time, but here the support refuses to give you back your clan in which you put a lot of time and effort, and that's actually unfair! What if I get injured and unable to log in for a couple of months?
It certainly could happen to you in that situation. For me, I've been working on my start-up company - that is a huge time sink.

I formed the clan simply for my own benefit and enjoyment, as well as to help out a small handful of close friends. The loss of the clan was opened up as a possibility when a single outsider was let in with no officer permissions - a clan officer was just trying to help that player get started. I was one of the last truly active players, and as far as I know, there were no other active players in the clan until the one player returned during my absence (and 30 days is a blink of the eye at my age) and made a claim for the clan.
While I am disappointed, I'm not salty. I truly consider the issue closed. I simply don't have the luxury of time, nor the desire, to repeat my actions of the past to recreate lost glory. I will be leaving Warframe.
I do want to make it clear that the original post was not made in an effort to get the clan back. While I understand DE's policy, I do think they should at least modify it a bit to notify a clan warlord of a possible loss of assets to other players (after all, there's real money invested in some of these dojos!) . My purpose for the post was to let warlords of other clans know of this obscure policy. The original post is a PSA and that's all.

Just now, UltimateGrr said:
...So you were inactive longer than 30 days, and your second in command was a jerk (since the most senior officer after you was awarded Warlord status), and now you're butt hurt about your poor officer choices.
Working as intended I suppose.
No, the player who took control had no clan rank or privileges other than membership.

I am a long-time player of Warframe (since 2013), have nearly 2000 hours of accumulated in-game mission time, and was the founder of a very small clan of players. I lost my clan. If you are a clan officer of any clan, please read the exchange below and don't let it happen to you. The following exchange with DE/Warframe support is presented in its entirety (except the removal of a player name) to help players be aware of an obscure and very little known policy.
My clan is missing!

SpafbiYesterday at 12:33The small clan of which I am the founder and leader is missing! I logged in after a hiatus only to find I can no longer view my clan or join my dojo. Was it wiped? Is there any way to get it back?
The clan name was Sneaky Old Bastards.

Support Yesterday at 19:45Hello Spafbi,
After checking, the clan still exists and it seems you were once part of it but got kicked/removed from it.

I was the founder. How am I kicked? Nobody had permissions to kick me. I would like this restored as I put both time and money (plat for emblem).

SpafbiYesterday at 20:08
Shoot... I couldn't even remove a player from the clan which I had elevated to founder status alongside myself... It doesn't make sense I could be removed.

Hello again Spafbi,
A clanmate of yours filed a ticket regarding your inactivity and the clan creator/founder tag was transferred to another player.
As per: https://digitalextremes.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/200049929-Clan-Alliance-and-Dojo-Guide
*A note to Founders/Warlords and the DE Policy on Dealing With Internal Clan Matters:
Keep in mind that once a player has been promoted to Warlord, they can no longer be demoted or kicked from the clan, so be very careful as a Clan founder when choosing other clan members to promote to this rank. The exception to this scenario is for clans created post Update 13 as these clans creators will be able to demote or kick other Warlords from their clan.If the Warlord(s) or Creator of a clan has been inactive for 30 days or longer they can be replaced by submitting a ticket to our support desk (we want to ensure that all clans are able to function correctly, which is not possible without at least one active Warlord). Digital Extremes makes it our policy not to get involved with internal clan matters and any other difficulties that may arise with a Warlord or other players in a clan will generally need to be resolved internally by the clan members involved.
Thank you for your patience regarding this matter and have a nice day.

Can you please let me know the player's name so I may contact them?

Hello Spafbi,
You may contact its current creator/founder <redacted>.

Great... Unfortunately, that player hasn't been on in 44 days. Any chance my ownership of the clan could be restored?

SpafbiYesterday at 21:43
They guy was just a low ranking member of my tiny clan... he was never a founder. This is so disappointing.

Please pass the following to the appropriate DE personnel.
I do feel the need to let DE know that I feel cheated by an obscure policy buried on a support website. Since 2013 I have spent almost two thousand hours playing Warframe and supporting Digital Extremes. I brought a good number of players to the game, participated in dev streams (I even won a plat prize!), streamed Warframe on Twitch and YouTube, bought platinum on several occasions, and participated in the Keystone alpha. After spending a considerable amount of time and money on the Warframe product, I find it extremely inconsiderate of DE to not even have the courtesy to at least notify me by email that a request had been made to transfer ownership of my clan. Had I been made aware of such a policy and that such a request had been made (to transfer ownership of my clan), I would have taken action to ensure retention of my clan rights.
Life circumstances reduced my available game time, so I chose to spend what little time I had to play games of which my long-time gaming buddies we're then playing. During that time I still closely followed the progression of the game and excitement had built to where I knew I'd be returning. However, returning to Warframe only to find my account robbed of a clan because a non-privileged member of my clan requested ownership be transferred to him during my absence, it’s needless to say my excitement in returning has been deflated and severely soured. I prefer small clans, don't wish to join another clan, and have little desire to form another clan and replay the sheer amount of time needed to obtain the game resources I have already spent in building out my clan dojo and researching blueprints. On top of that, even if I did create a new clan, I don’t wish to again pay platinum to resubmit my clan emblem (which I love!) only to have it likely rejected as it already exists in the game.
I certainly hope I can be restored as warlord/founder of my clan, but if not I believe I'll just call it quits (as all the other founders of my clan have already done). As I previously mentioned, I'm simply not up to the task of re-obtaining the in-game resources to replicate my prior efforts in creating a clan dojo+blueprints, only to take another break from the game (which is likely as variety is good!), and risk having to do it all over yet again.
If restoration of my position in the clan cannot be secured, my Sneaky Old Bastards clan (we’re at clansob.com) will likely forever R.I.P. in Warframe, but we will live on in other games.

Hello Spafbi,
For the most part, the reason why it's stated (as far as inactivity is concerned) at the very least, 30 days or longer. Leaving a clan behind without a clan creator/founder or Active warlord would leave the other clanmates that are still active looking for one (should they need that particular member's capabilities ie joining an Alliance, setting up an alliance etc etc).
To be honest, 30d is quite long for a break. We understand that players still have lives to live and real life concerns to deal with that's why it's set at that minimum amount (in this case, we find it justified to pass it on the next most highest and active member of the clan). That being said, I understand where you're coming from but we'd like you to also understand why we entertain such requests.
We cannot just outright give the ownership back to you (as you were removed by the new clan creator/founder). However, I did check the clan and its current creator/founder and found out that he/she was inactive for quite some time already. What you can opt to do is to ask to be invited back to the clan (as you're not even currently a member of it) and have the current creator/founder file a ticket to us requesting to pass the creator/founder tag to be passed on to you (or for this instance, since he/she seems to be inactive long enough for us to step in already) a member of the clan can file a ticket regarding passing it to another.
Hope you'd understand and thank you for your cooperation.

I wholeheartedly disagree that 30 days is a lengthy time to step away from any game. But as it is, given the in-game clan was so small to start, the new owner wasted no time before throwing all previous officers and members onto the curb - it appears all of the original members and founders have been removed. I don't know a single person who might still be in the clan and active. Nobody on our clan website, Facebook group, TeamSpeak, or Discord knows of anyone still in the in-game clan. Needless to say, I am extremely disappointed. I will publicly repeat my previous message of which I still have hope is making it's way up through the chain, as well as make public DE's response. This will not be done in malice. It is a warning to others of a little known and practically hidden policy (unless you purposely go out of your way to find out about it - but then why would you even think to do such a thing?) which does not allow for notification that in game assets, both earned and/or paid for, will be lost, as well as to share the response others might expect should they discover themselves in a similar situation.

You know... using Steam is easier to fix your client and etc... but what do i know...
In my experience, when it comes to Warframe, I've had far fewer issues using direct download than my friends who have used Steam. The resolution to their problems is usually to perform a direct download. That said, it's probably just a six one way, a half-dozen the other type of issue.

Title, not working for me
From what I understand, the codes are PC only. Additionally, entering the codes produces no immediate discernible effect, but should be rewarded in-game upon release of U18.
-
sorry if i was pissing you two off but i was just wondering was all since i don't want to have two different warframe accouts
Hmm... I didn't detect any animosity in the prior responses. I know that it does happen in pretty much any online community, but I would hope that in the Warframe community you should never read responses from other players as if the responses are venomous in any way.

The syndicate weapon, or weapon having an installed syndicate augment mod, must be held and not holstered for the effect to proc. Affinity gained while holding the weapon adds up until the effect procs.

Shiney_Piney, I'm sure there will be plenty of folks streaming it - I bet anyone streaming the hours after the U18 release will be running with the new quest content. That said, I would suggest NOT watching a stream of someone running the quest. The DE devs seem to be very proud of their work on U18, the lore involved, and have been pretty clear that there are spoilers that they think would be a shame to be revealed to Warframe players prior to their being able to play the new content for themselves.
-
I would suggest you do a little planning before heading into your gameplay. A significant quantity of items are not obtainable by running Void missions. So you should identify the mods, warframes, and weapons you'd like to obtain; look up said items on the WARFRAME Wiki (http://warframe.wikia.com/) to find out where they may be obtained. Then login, grab your clan mates for some help (you can always reach out to players on your friends list as well as other players on the recruiting channel), and go flex your Tenno muscle!

From the info DE has so far released, we don't know what type of rework Stalker may have received, but we know that Stalker will be a significant element of the upcoming U18 release.

While not a truism, keys as assigned by most game developers are usually bound to their default locations due to anticipated use patterns. If you have played around with keybinds, you may wish to reset them - once you do so, your quick melee will be bound to the E key.
That said, just like Rheoidegen, I have rebound my quick melee attack to my side mouse button.

My sons and I are quite excited for this upcoming update. Thanks for entertaining us so well, DE.

My Clan Was Stolen!!! - A cautionary tale

I know who made the transfer, and I remember playing with him the few times he came around. He was memorable as one of the only outsiders we let in. Keep in mind that he also hasn't been active for 44 days. As far as I know, as he cleaned house, it's likely the clan exists now with only that one player, and he's not around.
