100% Agreed. Great suggestion! These two go hand in hand IMPO. I feel that Earth, Venus, and Mercury should be 100% tailored experiences for New Players. IE: Each Planet is a Questline. These Quests introduce each of the standard game Mission Types, as well as introduce Gear Items to players with in mission/cutscenes explanations. Ex: *Scene of Excalibur observing a Corpus Outpost* Lotus: Tenno, use your scanner to zoom in on enemy operations. *Player is shown on screen how to equip and use the scanner. Player cannot move/progress until they follow through* Lotus: Target Nef Anyo and scan him. It'll provide crucial intelligence. So on, so on.... Also, this tailored experience could be used to award New Players with new weapons, and explain loot to them. IE: Defeat The Jackal and upon returning to the Orbiter... Lotus: My scans indicate that you acquired a schematic to a Warframe long thought. Lost. How did the Corpus get their hands on it? Is that how they engineered The Jackal? Text Box Pops up: "By repeating mission you've previously cleared you can scavenge for supplies and acquire Blueprints for Weapons and Warframes." Just small things like that are intrusive, tell a story, and make the early game much more manageable. I'd also revamp the Solar Rail Battles. Gone are the Specters. Narratively they make NO SENSE. I'd replace Solar Rail fights with mini-Missons/dungeons. Like a small puzzles that must be cleared to open the Control Station. (Like having to do a new game mechanic the next planet requires such as: Hacking, inserting fuel cells for a Sabotage mission, defending 1 Disruption Node, etc.) Then in the Station, Players will encounter a unique elite enemy that's on par with Assassins such as Stalker, The Gustrag Three, Zanuka, The Wolf of Saturn Six (Minus his insane DR). Essentially these units would function like The Stalker Acolytes: IE: They're reskinned Warframe Specters. Player defeats them, business as usual. A Cutscene showing the Orbiter entering Mars orbit plays, and as the Tenno prepares for Deployment, The Lotus congratulates them on a job well done. As soon as the Orbiter loads in, Players are greeted with a message box: "Congratulations. From here on out you are free to explore The Origin System at your leisure. Replay old missions to acquire new gear and blueprints, scavenge resources, or hang out with Ordis." From this point the game would be more less cinematic, but still follow a Questline of sorts as The OP explained. Heavily agree. This is something that has turned off many of my irl friends. As some of them are not loot goblins like me and dislike scavenging an entire map for supplies. However, the game is free to play and I understand DE wishing to add some appeal to spending Platinum. But for the early game and start weapons, it should be easy. The 24 & 72 hour timers are MORE than enough incentive for new players to buy plat. Hot Take here... All Landscape Maps and Quests should be locked until The War Within is Cleared. This is a logical choice from both a Narrative and Gameplay standpoint. The Landscape Maps feature unique enemies, new enemy AI, and just core systems that give new players severely violent whiplash. With Fortuna and Deimos pushing/scaring new players away. Many fortuna missions are too much for starter loadouts to handle and Deimos hordes are and mechanic s are too advanced for Starter loadouts and power levels. Game goes from a 3 to 9 then back to a 3. The majority of my irl friends vehemently HATE Fortuna and they dislike Plains and Deimos because of these factors. To help remedy the issue.... I'd introduce the Landscape Maps via a 1 time mission, then I'd loosely unlock them at planned intervals. Cetus would unlock upon clearing Vor's Prize, and the only Bounty missions available would be the levels 5-10 & 10-15. Additionally, I'd update Cetus to award a mount. Situation A (The New Player did not Clear Duviri after clearing Vor's Prize Quest) After Konzu's intro bounty, a Cutscene where Nakak and a Vent Kid talking plays, and they essentially give new players a loaner K-Drive for use in Plains Bounties. Situation B (Player has Cleared Duviri Quest) Upon returning to Cetus, Onkko and Master Tenosai are talking about a strange signal. The Tenno appears and they ask the player to check it out. Upon checking it out, it is revealed to be their Kaithe from Duviri. For narrative reasons the player is confused as it appears to 'Know' the player and offers them it's services. This allows players the option of using their Kaithe in the Plains. Fortuna I would not open up until AFTER players have cleared: The Glast Gambit. Deimos will not unlock until The Jordas Precept has been cleared. (Storywise this shouldn't unlock until later anyways.) After The War Within is cleared, all Bounties in all Landscape Maps would be available. Agreed entirely. I shouldn't feel obligated to taxi and carry every new player so they can fairly clear Nightwaves. Nightwave has 'Permanent Weeklies' now. When a player does not have access to a feature/mission/mode, it should be replaced by a permanent weekly. I'd make this an unlocked feature on Mars via Questline. As the players go through Mars, they'd 'Rescue' a Syndicate member. That member would take them to a relay and from there a tutorial on Syndicates would play out, explaining Syndicates, giving players a Trial Mission, and 1 free reward of their choice from the Syndicate store. Bottom line: It would be alot of work but it small changes like this would severely help player retention and break Warframe out of the F2P mobile game like stigma/funk that it's often grasped by.

Random Shower Thought but... It'd be cool if they revamped Extractors. 1. Let them gather random amounts of a all 4 of a planet/location's resources. 2. Added an Extractor mini-game to the mobile app. (I could use a time killer when I'm on the go.) Like... You get to fly around a little map, avoiding enemies, and when you find resource nodes you have a little puzzle to solve to gather the resource. Quick and Easy Puzzles like you'd find in Dead Space: Ignition, Marvel's Spiderman (PS4/PS5). Maybe add in some Racing mini-game too. Make it where if an enemy (Faction or Wildlife) sees you, the drone takes damage, failing a puzzle causes damage. Could be a cool way to show the chiller side of the Warframe galaxy. Would be fun to explore a massive Plains of Eidolon map mining, gathering, and catching fish (Golden Maw style) without being snipes from across the map from aimbot Grineer, hovering through the eerie and empty Zariman halls, running for dear life from hordes on Deimos & Eris. Also, playing the app game could be away to hunt specific resources somewhat more reliably. (IE: Really need Argon Crystals or Entrati Lanthorns? Go specifically hunt it via the Mobile Companion App.) Just give it a capacity limit so folks can't abuse the Extractors. Makes every resource gathered count.

To be fair... We have over 50 frames now... No one can regularly use 50 different characters. There will always ultimately be a 'favorite crew/team.

There was no change. You've just been getting lucky. Happens to me sometimes. It's RNG. But they ALL take damage at random intervals. I've watched them for 'the lulz' before and have seen all of em get a few hangnails. I personally think the damage depends on the resource RNG chose. As typically, when my extractors bring back rare loot they usually show up with a few stories on how they fell down the stairs, walked into a door, etc.

Basically. I slap on Radar & Range mods and use Greedy Pull. (whatever survives Cataclysm and doesn't move when pulled is usually a medallion) But I'm a Loot Goblin so medallion Nightwaves I typically clear by playing normally. I mainly use Limbo for The Index tbh. Saryn is basically for all things Sanctuary Onslaught and/or Survival.

If you already built Cephalon Cy then try going to relay or dojo Dry Dock and interacting with the console. See if it forces the quest forward.

Cross-Save has made this an unreliable method. In addition to resetting Console players forums status to newbie and not even bothering to update our glyphs. *Points at self*

A fellow man of civilized culture. (What I'd pay to be able to play as Vulgran so we can utterly destroy Yareli in an alternate Questine.)

Name 1 game where Vote Kick is NOT abused. In a game like Warframe such a system would add a brand new layer to Toxicity. Especially given how gaming (Internet even) culture has embraced trolling. Imagine, killing an Archon, clearing a Netracell, Farming for 60+ minutes then during extraction you get kicked. Or people vote kick to force a Host Migration "4 the lulz". Warframe is a game that is 100% soloable so the need for any form of kick is moot. Every reason players have for such a system is solved. Want to play a 7-24hr mission? An all meta loudout squad? All radiant of same relic? A squad full of players who play exactly how you want them to? (As if they are NPCs in some videogames) The answer to all of the above is: Play solo or recruit for it. New players still learning the game do not deserve to be kicked from 7out of 10 games because they are LOOTING in a Looter Shooters game and not racing to extraction at Mach 90. New players deserve to enjoy and learn the game like everyone else did. Veteran and returning players don't need to get kicked cause: "Lulz, they're [Mastery Rank Here] they didn't need the mission rewards." Or "Probably screaming at their PC/Console. Lulz!"

Had to set the rule of: Frames I use at least 3 times a month, since every now and again I try one out or let Duviri RNG amuse me. I don't feel like digging up a url host thing so.... Here's the List: Used: [The Main Force] (My Most frequently Used) Ash, Frost, Zephyr, Equinox, Ivara, Gara, Harrow, Grendel, Styanax, Lavos, Volt, Trinity, Rhino [Squad B] (Occasional Use) Sevagoth, Nidus, Gauss, Hydroid, Hildryn, Ember, Nekros, Mesa, Excalibur, Wisp, Wukong, Revenant, Mirage, Mag [Nightwave Squad] Limbo, Saryn Unused: Atlas, Banshee, Baruuk, Chroma, Garuda, Inaros, Khora, Nezha, Nova, Nyx, Oberon, Octavia, Vauban, Valkyr, Voruna, Xaku Not Applicable: (I don't own, farmed then fed immediately to Helminth and need one to level, or haven't played outside of leveling for Mastery) Qorvex, Protea, Dagath, Citrine Burning in my Orbitor's perpetually blazing incinerator: Titania, Gyre, Loki, Kullervo Entombed in the thick soupy cesspool The Central Origin System Relay's bottomless Septic Sewage System: Yareli, Caliban

Thank you! I....I just got Rhino, am high on life, and am thinking of going to the Plains of Eidolon. I sure hope things go well!

This is true. It is required. I am a PlayStation player but thanks to linking accounts so I can trade with my IRL PC friends I am apparently a brand new forum user. 😮‍💨 Years upon years. Gone. *Shrugs* Guess I'll consider this a new beginning.
