KiteoHatto Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Hey Tenno. I have been away from the game for quite a while, i think i went on a break mid Fortuna update(i think that's what that Corpus place was called). Having been burnt out by other games and wanting a looter shooter that actually works, im here yet again. Just in time for the anniversary stuff. How is the game and what are some of the big issues these days ? Thank you :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)C11H22O11 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Try it out yourself honestly. You'll have a lot to do if you left at the 2nd fortuna update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnarlsDarkley Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 If you want to knwo what you missed take a look at the update notes or better the wiki. They list pretty good what was added. If you should come back: Dunno, this game is still pretty fun. More so after some breaks, so yeah you have lots of stuff to grind again. The core didnt change much so you shouldnt have a hard time getting back into it like with MMOs where you have to start almost at zero when you missed a couple of updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaotyke Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 You should try it out. Some thing did change since then. But do avoid the Forums. Salty Squishy Murderous Dolls are the current fad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackHargreav Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 We can only talk from our perspective. So as others said just try out the game yourself. It's free so you loose nothing. Here on the forums there are ppl who just straight up hate the game and they will tell you how the game is dying and so on. So this isn't the best place for information.

Slayer-. Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Come back and try it out, it should be fun with the amount of stuff around to sink ya teeth into. If you hate it all after a couple of weeks it's easy to Alt+F4 again and go back to real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surbusken Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 If nothing else you can get the anniversary items and build up daily login-in count. The game isn't dramatically different, so it's really up to you, if you are willing to grind for kuva weapons and ephemeras, or build a railjack or necramech, or whatever. If you like some of the new items, I don't see why not. Just make damned sure you read up on what the grind entails, exactly, before you put in work. Like the warframe xaku is grinding out 2 entire planets, and eidolon drops etc. They turned the already heavy grind into a babushka grind, hiding grinds inside grinds, hoping you won't notice, where it's an an absolute must now, you read up on every single item required in crafting - because it might appear to be just the one innocent little item, but behind it, is an entire planet-grind to t5. Then of course, inside those grinds are more grinds, because 'just 4 crafting materials" isn't heavy enough. "Scintillant" for xaku for example, is another notoriously terrible grind, and it's just one of his items. Similarly, the kuva lich is grind is heavy-duty, they got the idea to make those weapons 5 forma mandatory, to get MR from them. AND, have to get a handful of duplicate versions to get max elemental damage on them. So read up on everything, and I mean everything, if you are going to play.

KiteoHatto Posted May 2, 2021 Author Share Posted May 2, 2021 Thank you everyone. Got a question though...where do i start ? Do i do railjack first or the infested looking place ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schilds Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 I'd probably (1) catch up on the quests first, (2) unlock any starchart nodes you don't have (you can hop on other railjacks, doesn't have to be your own), and leave the progression stuff to one side. So do the Deimos (infested looking place) quest, do the RJ quest, do any other ones you've missed. Then figure out which progression you want to tackle (mods, warframes, weapons, mastery, standing, railjack intrinsics, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you :) DE have started putting more RNG into their grind systems.. and Tencent now own them if that matters to you. .. the last update wasn't completely broken. So there is that. .

Soy77 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I'm so glad to see this forum finally start coming to their senses and point out to returning players that only they can decide what they like. Instead of, you know... writing some wall of text explaining in lengths about every single stuff that gets added into the game. Or even worse, simply stating their own personal subjective -and rather worthless opinions; don't come back railjack suck. As for OP, i see you're in good hands, well mostly... So all imma say is welcome back, tenno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if that person did ask is because said person wants other players opinions and to know what's going on with the game. Otherwise let's be honest, the topic would not have a reason to exist. It's pretty obvious that OP only can decide if it's worth giving the game another shot, especially since we are talking about a F2P, so it's not like you want to collect opinions if it is worth to drop money again before playing.

Do i do railjack first or the infested looking place ? Do you prefer to do space combat as soon as possible or getting that unstoppable walking tank that is Necramechs? However I do have some tips on what to do. Do the Deimos grind to max out your daily cap. After that, gather materials to build your next space ship part. Finally, Do anything else until you get bored and log off for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angwah Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 10 hours ago, KiteoHatto said: Thank you everyone. Got a question though...where do i start ? Do i do railjack first or the infested looking place ? I personally like Railjack, so definitely give that a spin. Deimos is fun too, I really like the story and NPC's there. And while it might look confusing at first, the Deimos rep grind is through earning tokens so it doesn't 'punish' you for continuing after having hit your daily rep cap, so that's nice. As for choosing between the two, why not alternate as you feel like it ;-) Diversity is good :-) Both have good frames and weapons on offer after all, though Deimos has more goodies obviously, including the Helminth, which you may want to look up. Other stuff you can look at: - Protea is very nice frame, and the two weapons which also come in her special game mode are really worth getting too. And I think also Wisp and Gauss? Grendel? - Steel Path is a special game mode which unlocks after completing the star chart. You can basically redo the entire chart again but with +100 levels, more armor and shields, 4 player spawn even in solo and occasionally mini-bosses, the Acolytes, try to assassinate you. All the nodes in SP give you extra mastery, and you can earn Steel Essence to spend in Teshin's SP shop for various things, especially the umbra forma which is available every 8 weeks. Make sure especially your weapons are up for it however as enemies are a lot tougher. - Kuva Liches are bosses you can spawn and hunt down, and of course, steal their stuff, namely their weapons, and they have some really nice ones. It's a bit of a convoluted process so you may want to look that up in detail. Anyway, you have much new content to explore, so, have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would probably start with Deimos so you can unlock your Helminth segment, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that if you immediately play the new content before DE fixes it you'll have a worse experience. When content launches it takes a bit for de to reduce the grind, fix bugs, nerf and buff stuff (hate investing in stuff for it to just be nuked,) do a QOL pass etc. Also recent trend that de has been doing to reduce 'content islands' complaints is making new content build off of old content.

Redfeather75 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I quit shortly after fortuna and came back twitc to do it. It hasn't changed and is still very grindy. I spent a week farming the same bounty over and over to get 15 gyromags. That's warframe. If you are okay with that then try reinstalling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soy77 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 1 hour ago, Bregastor said: Otherwise let's be honest, the topic would not have a reason to exist. With all due respect to OP, some kind of topic does not have reason to exist. Just like all the cross-play threads: the answer will always be the same. People will just rewrite their previous answers from similar threads, which is just a waste of time and effort. if i don't like railjack, i will keep encouraging returning players to hate railjack as i do. And let's just be honest, some players will fall for it. Just like many players have fall for the lies that warframe potentially could have some sort of cross-play. tl;dr There are the patchnotes. This is an invaluable source for returning players to decide if they should return or not based on facts. As for people who need to make that decision based on other people's subjective opinions, people who most likely like different things than they do.. well i guess they won't be returning for too long.

RazerXPrime Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Generally confused why people ask other players if they should play a game... I mean you can just login the game and see for yourself. Read the releases to see which content is new. Of course you can ask players what content to focus on, but leaving your choices on what you do with your time to other people? Well that's just weird.

Well games like Warframe are constantly changing, so he’s just asking what the current state of the game is like. I get where you’re coming from, but asking “should I play Warframe right now?” isn’t the same as asking “should I play Doom Eternal?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
