  1. I've been playing Warframe fairly regularly since it launched on PS4, and if there's one thing I can say - its that Warframe is like the US stock market - it's filled with ups and downs through the various updates, but ultimately its always on the up-and-up given the grand scale of time it has been up and running

    Every update, someone posts something along the lines of "If X update fails, then Warframe will die." The problem is - the various terms that dictate whether an update actually fails is very different than what we, a vocal minority on a forum, define as failure. This is also true as overhyped games are teased - remember when Andromeda and Anthem were going to kill Warframe? How about those original toxic "Destiny vs Warframe" debacles?

    The big picture is this: yes - someone is going to download this update, despise it for what ever reason, and never play Warframe again. Heck, they might even rant about it here. At the same time, someone is going to download the update, and adore it, calling it the greatest thing to come to Warframe, while logging in constant hours making the most of it, and buying plat to support DE; And you are going to have a vast playerbase everywhere in between those extremes.

    That's the beauty of it - just don't worry about it. If you love the update - great! Keep enjoying Warframe. If you despise it - oh well, there'll be another update soon, you can just enjoy the content you enjoyed before, the old stuff very likely isn't going anywhere.

    I'm not saying DE or Warframe is perfect, but I am saying there are a lot of people that far and away over-react. I love this game and want it to succeed for many years to come - but that doesn't mean that every update has to somehow save this very alive game from dying, "despite youtubers and veterans leaving in droves."

  2. I feel there's something to be said about youtubers feeling so disillusioned from their experiences from Destiny, and all the money it cost them to play; and then finding and playing Warframe, (which cost them nothing) and having a phenomenal experience. Destiny/Bungie/Activision clearly has some issues that a lot of players are resounding with, and the developers aren't addressing. Warframe, for a lot of people, addresses the issues Destiny has. It's a free-to-play antithesis of triple-a disappointment.

    And as far as Destiny 1's end game content - it wasn't fun, it wasn't challenging, it was annoying. If you didn't have a Gjallarhorn, you couldn't contribute. You just had to join a match (which you would have to use a third party system to find people) and hope to find a group willing to carry you.

  3. Welcome to the Warframe Community! 

    I also had a similar experience and weariness of free-to-play - it's certainly not our fault. Warframe is kinda creating an exception.

    I have found/continue to find (and hope you will as well) that this is genuinely one of the best communities and games out there. Of course there's a few bad apples, nearly every encounter I've had with other Tenno has been extremely rewarding and positive, and DE seems to genuinely care about us, and listens to feedback.

    I hope you continue to enjoy! 

  4. I only play on PS4 so don't know if this is a console specific, BUT:

    I have noticed a small bug where, when transferring out of Operator Mode back into Umbra during missions, sometimes Umbra will glitch off the map, (cue the "falling noise") and of course the camera/point-of-view follows. Usually it fixes itself in about 5 to 10 seconds or so, and Umbra will "land" back in the map. I've had it happen on various tile sets and varying mission types. I've also had this happen once while transferring back into a "bleedout" Umbra.

    I apologize if this was posted in the wrong place; I haven't seen any feedback threads for Umbra yet.

    I agree with Helminth predating Umbra.

    Actually helmitnth seems to be created after umbra. Because ubra had free will and so on. Ballas created helmith that became base component for other frames.

    Spoiler

    Am I the only one who remembers in the quest when Ballas is talking to the Dax who would become umbra, and tells him that "A lovingly cultured Infestation swarms within your blood," and that in the Vitruvian, Ballas mentions Helminth as the strand that makes warframes?

    Helminth predates warframes.

    They did say on stream that the console team is confident of it.

    They said the same thing about the day they released it on PC that Thursday. At first they said "this week" then on the day they released it, they straight said "we are confident we will get it today" and they absolutely did.

    Have faith, and give DE your energy.

    Worst case scenario, we will have it the week after Tennocon, but it's looking like it will be sooner.

  7. I've seen a bit of discussion regarding optimum amp build for the Tridolon hunts, (2-2-3/3-2-3/3-3-3) but something I haven't really seen:

    What arcanes are your all putting on your amps? Are there any arcanes that help with Eidolon hunting?

    Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

    I think it would actually come down to "can the enemy defeat the Sentients?" Because the Sentients are the only ones that can actually travel from one system to another. The other Warframe races would be stuck on the Sol system fighting a defensive war against the enemy, while the Sentients would be the only offencive they have. If the enemy can defeat the Sentients, Warframe could never win, only get stuck on a defensive war

    This got me thinking...

    Who would win - Sentients, or Reapers? (Mass Effect)

  9. You know, I don't think our conflict with  The Man in The Wall will be a physical fight by any means. Based on what he supposedly "is" (a "physical manifestation of the void") - I really think he is going to be a representation of inner conflict...

    I'm a bit sleep deprived atm, so I apologize if this comes across as vague/incoherent. I'm trying to think of an example - the best I can think of, aside from what others have already posted - is the Dragon Age series - TMITW is to the Tenno what the "Dread Wolf" is to the elves/dalish. Or Elder Scrolls - Lorkhan/Shor to the elves. He is an obstacle to overcome, but I think he is going to represent an emotional/mental obstacle.


    ...


    I'll edit this to make more sense once I get some sleep...

    This is something that I seem to be learning myself. It seems to me that the closer you are to the start of the night cycle the better the group you get paired with. My one "bad" group was one that started with 40 minutes left of night.

    Can confirm. I usually have a day/night tracker for the PoE on my phone. When day cycle has about 10 minutes left, I head to the recruiting chat. It's usually lit up with quality, experienced "Chroma/Rhinos LF Tridolon Cap, need Trin/Harrow/Volt." 

    The last group I ran with, the host was a Chroma with over 150 Harry caps. As soon as the shields came down on Terry, Garry, or Harry, he was one shotting - I couldn't even get a scope up.

    With that being said, I have been denied an invite because my MR was too low (I'm 23) or because I had too few captures (I just hit 30).

    So even after the changes to stasis and the rift i find it baffling and incredibly sad that i am harrassed just for using Limbo. Quite literally was told to f off and called a show off for already having limbo when i just wanted to try him out in Onslaught. Even after stopping to use stasis, so the only thing i was providing was free energy regen, this behaviour continued. Should stasis become a slow instead of complete halt? should being in the rift provide only dmg reduction instead? Honestly dont know, all i know is getting berated like this only made it so what little time i had to play today was ruined. Hope the guy running saryn enjoyed competing with the other two saryns since i felt like i had become a glorified revive station. but hey free xp and loot i guess. (sorry needed to vent).

    How *DARE* you try and enjoy this game.
