Update 31.1.0: Echoes of War

 

The year is 2022, and Digital Extremes is back with the first Mainline of the year - we’ve got roughly 4GB of content changes! 

Less than 2 months ago The New War Quest was launched on all platforms. Our ambitions to have Replay on launch didn’t make it in time, but we made it our top priority to have it ready for our first Update of 2022. There’s still no accurate words to describe our appreciation for all the support and reactions to The New War, and we hope you enjoy replaying it as many times as you wish! 

There’s lots more in the Warframe oven for 2022 - thank you for coming along the ride!

 

In addition, you may notice nods to the Public Test Cluster in some sections. Thank you to everybody that participated in our weekend test! We’ve made some changes in response that you’ll find throughout the patch notes.

 

 

THE NEW WAR IS NOW REPLAYABLE!

Experience The New War Quest once more, Tenno! Access The New War Quest in the Codex to Replay. Please note with this implementation the Replay is a full time commitment and you will be locked into the Quest as you were in the first run, so plan accordingly. 

 

SPOILER POLICY

This quest has significant Spoilers for Warframe and its future. While The New War has been out since December 15th, there are still Tenno out there who have yet to experience it for the first time. Please let all Tenno experience it at their own pace, and be kind. Use liberal spoiler tags if you wish to talk about it, and do not ruin the experience for someone else. Content Creators should clearly label spoiler content and use spoiler-free thumbnails.

 

The Quest can be discussed in our temporary Sub Forum: https://forums.warframe.com/forum/1782-the-new-war/ 

Please note on Replay (heavy spoilers):

Spoiler

During the “end choice” moment, you’ll be able to select the other choices for strictly experience purposes. The choice you made in your original playthrough will override it each time once complete.

 

 

Additionally, 3 ‘The New War’ Somachord Tones have been added to the post-New War Plains of Eidolon and Orb Vallis. Based on player feedback, we have made these Somachord Tones stationary, meaning they will always be in the same spot (different from the original Orb Vallis Somachord Tones) and require 1 scan each. They’ll remain in their spots after Scanned for helpful Tenno who waypoint them for others!

 

Keep a look out for the following Somachord Tones:

• For Narmer

• Hybrid Abominations

• Sunkiller

NEW WARFRAME AUGMENTS

*Acquire from the Cephalon Suda and Steel Meridian Syndicate Offerings.

 

Gauss: Thermal Transfer: Thermal Sunder

Allies in range gain 75% bonus Elemental Damage for 30s.

 

*Acquire from the Arbiters of Hexis and Perrin Sequence Syndicate Offerings.

It now costs extra energy to throw the Aquablade as a ranged attack, but this is negated if you are riding Merulina.

 

*Acquire from the Cephalon Suda and New Loka Syndicate Offerings.

 

ADVERSARY WEAPON GENERATION - QUALITY OF LIFE CHANGE

As the pool of Adversary weapons grows and your checklist fills out, the natural chance of finding a Progenitor (Larvling or Candidate) with the exact weapon you desire shrinks. This Adversary Weapon Generation Quality of Life change is meant to reduce randomness over time of what weapon a Progenitor Candidate (Sister) or Larvling (Kuva Lich) can spawn with.

 

How it works:

By skipping a Progenitor (choosing not to Mercy them) the spawned weapon is then put into a ‘reject’ pile for that round of Adversary generation, meaning that it will not appear again and ultimately reducing the weapon pool each time you ‘reject’.

The list of rejected weapons is cleared once you accept an Adversary and the process would start again from a clean slate for both Sister or Kuva Lich the next time you go looking for an Adversary. This list clearing applies to both Sister and Kuva Lich, meaning once the chosen Adversary is Converted or Vanquished, the list clears for both factions.

Test Cluster change: Kuva Lich/Sister of Parvos weapon reject list will now reset if you reject every possible weapon.

 

SEASONAL EVENTS

*As shown on Devstream #159, we have Lunar New Year celebrations coming soon! Stay tuned!

 

DOJO ADDITIONS

Dojo Architects are you ready?? We have a handful of new Dojo Decorations and some new Rooms as well! We cannot wait to see your continually amazing creations. 

 

New Rooms

Earth Forest Chamber

Uranus Chamber

 

 

New Decorations

100 Grineer Forest and Ocean themed Decorations have been added! We’ve got water pumps, turbine blades, cloning machinery and much more!

 

GENERAL ADDITIONS:

• The Legendary Rank 2 Test is now available to eligible Tenno! We appreciate your patience as we worked on getting it ready.

• Added the ability to individually color customize each of your Operator’s eyes for the full Heterochromia effect. 

  •   

• Added 20 new Operator skin colors options!

  •  

  • A future Update will bring improved Operator skin textures to match its New War variant. 

• Added a new Grendel ability tip:

  • "Feast's damage-over-time on vomited enemies, damage on Regurgitated enemies, and Nourish’s self heal on cast all scale based on the level of enemies Grendel devours."

• Added a tooltip to the Vox Solaris Quest to indicate that you can use your Secondary weapon on the K-Drive. 

• New Thumper variants have been added to the Post-New War Plains of Eidolon! By selecting the Narmer Bounty you’ll find these Thumpers ambiently patrolling the Plains. 

  • Their drop table matches that of its counterpart. 

 

OPTIMIZATIONS:

• Upgraded our compiler and have seen small optimizations across the entire codebase for a faster Warframe experience. We anticipate this to have no noticeable stability changes but we request Tenno report any oddities they encounter.

• Made a small tweak to Dx12 startup to try to improve support for systems without the latest Windows Updates.

• Made a micro-optimization to the Codex. 

• Made several general optimizations. 

• Made general performance improvements to Dx12. 

• Made numerous optimizations towards the Infested Corpus Ship tileset. 

• Fixed crash when aborting Dx12 startup. 

• Made systemic micro-optimizations to PC rendering.

• Optimized away a few single-frame hitches and potentially fixed a rare crash. 

• Made numerous optimizations towards the Defense arena in the Grineer Settlement tileset. 

• Fixed a minor hitch every time a player jumped into K-Drive, Necramech, or Operator. 

• Made micro-optimizations to Navigation startup.

• Made small optimizations to level streaming and loading and fixed an ultra-rare crash that could occur for hosts.

• Made a micro-optimization to loading in Dx12 and the classic engine.

• Fixed crashes and excessive performance hitches when Grendel consumed an exorbitant amount of enemies and proceeded to vomit them out (90+ enemies). In the name of performance, we’ve added a limit of 40 enemies that can be eaten by Grendel at any given time, and spread out the vomiting of large numbers of enemies.

  • Test Cluster crash report/fix.

  • This fix didn't make the build and will be coming in a Hotfix.

 

REFLECTION PROBE CHANGES:

We rebuilt reflections across the entire game when Enhanced Graphics Engine is enabled to use modern high quality texture format which improves the quality and punch of gold, bronze, chrome, and other metallics. This change reduces the noise, makes them more vibrant, and ultimately more balanced overall. A lot to visually enjoy during your replay (or first playthrough!) of The New War! 

 

UI CHANGES:

• Hold onto your seats: we’ve converted all Arsenal Screen rectangle icons to squares. This applies to places like the Arsenal, Operator, and Codex which previously used rectangular icons.

  • To provide some Dev insight: At the moment, we have literally thousands of duplicated icons. Each item had to support both displaying as a rectangle and as a square, but now that everything has been converted to squares, all the rectangle icons are soon to be deleted. Which will reduce the game file size once we hit the big delete button - stay tuned on that! In the meantime, if you see anything funky with icons (squished/stretched/cropped etc) please let us know.

• The Options menu has been reworked to bring some new and reorganize the old! This is the beginning of our broader Options menu rework efforts that will continue in a near future Update, stay tuned!

• NEW: Accessibility options now have their own tab! You’ll find respective VIDEO and INTERFACE accessibility options now live here.

• GAMEPLAY has been renamed to SYSTEM, and CHAT has been renamed to SOCIAL.

  • Moved all networking related options to System under a Network header

  • Moved all friend/gift/party request options to Social under a Privacy header

  • Moved all chat channel options to Social under a Chat header

  • Moved all chat appearance options to Social under a Chat Appearance header

• DISPLAY has been renamed to VIDEO.

  • Added 3 new headers: Display, Graphics, and Advanced. Respective options have been moved within the headers.

•  Added 3 new headers to the AUDIO tab: Sound, Sound Mixer, and Voice. Respective options have been moved within the headers.

• Added 1 new header to the INTERFACE tab: User Interface (alongside HUD). Respective options have been moved within the headers.

  • Moved "Item Labels" into the "Customize UI Theme" screen.

 

ORB VALLIS CONSERVATION CHANGE:

• In addition to the already existing Conservation method of Trail & Tranq, all species of animal on Orb Vallis can now be found ambiently in the wild! (Bolarola, Sawgaw, Kubrodon, Horrasque, Stover, Pobber, Vermink). Due to the endangered nature of the species, the rarest subspecies will still need to be tracked down by following their trails.

 

GENERAL CHANGES:

• New Sky/Atmospheric technology brings a physically-plausible simulation based on time of day. Enhancing the atmospheric experience to feel more immersive and accurate when a time of day is represented. 

• Improved visuals within the Cambion Drift landscape by comprehensive efforts to have less competing emissive values on foliage. This can be attributed to reduced spore particles and reduction in the overall red color the

  • 

• Enemy reinforcements will now spawn more frequently during the Drone Hijack mission in the Plains of Eidolon Bounty to reduce down-time and increase density of enemies to defend from while running alongside the Drone. 

  • Simple reasoning here is to bring a bit more intensity to this Bounty to have your escorting efforts feel valued. 

• Enemy reinforcements will now spawn more frequently in Exterminate and Assassinate missions in Plains of Eidolon Bounties.

  • Additionally, reinforcements that spawn in caves will now be more inclined to chase the player, instead of just patrolling idly without a care in the world. 

• Unified the drop rate of each house’s MK II and MK III weapons dropped from Corpus Crewships in Pluto Proxima and Corpus Veil Proxima regions to Uncommon (12.50%). 

  • Previously the Talyn and Vort MK III were Legendary drops with a 0.65% chance, while the others were Uncommon at a 24.35% drop chance. Vort and Talyn MK II were Rare with a 5.64% chance, while the others were Uncommon with 19.36%. Instead of having certain weapons in the same tier level weighing more than others in terms of rarity, there is now a far more equal drop chance across each weapon. 

• Railjack Crew Kuva Liches and Sisters of Parvos can now Revive players and Crew!

• Lavos’ Vial Rush has been slightly changed in the name of performance. When casting Vial Rush zones from previous Vial Rush are removed but deal a one time damage proportional to their remaining duration.

• You can now replace an existing Arrival Gate with another Gate located elsewhere in your Dojo should you choose to. Previously you had to destroy the original Arrival Gate in order to place a new one.

• Amped up Nechramech summon FX and added summon animations. 

• Improved Bow animation movement to better match sprint turn speed. 

• Made some lighting updates to the Grineer Sealab tileset. 

• Updated the Orbiter Arsenal floor to make collision more accurate.

• Improved frequency of rare tiles that almost never appear in some Grineer Shipyard tileset mission types.

• Softened the look of hair/fur while using the Enhanced Graphics Engine option (Temporal AA remains unchanged). Refined look to the shading. 

• Adjusted the Ogris and Kuva Ogris Nightwatch Napalm FX to be cleaner and use energy color consistently. 

• Added Zarr alt-fire FX. 

• Improved the colors in the waterfall FX in the Grineer Forest tileset. 

• Changed Oberon's Passive description from ‘buff’ to ‘link’ since allied companions stats are calculated based on Oberon’s. 

• Made improvements and fixes to out-of-bounds & AI pathing in the Grineer Shipyards tileset. 

• Increased the variety and randomization of the Cambion Drift underground tunnels to give the space a more lively feel. 

• The Amalgam Furax Body Count Mod now applies a Blast proc and Stagger on Melee kills.

  • The original Mod description stated that “Melee kills knockdown enemies within 15m” but that functionality has been missing in-mission since Blast Status was changed in Update 27.2 to no longer knockdown enemies . In addition to the Blast Status, we have also added the stagger to restore its original function pre-Status overhaul. We have also updated the description to be more accurate to the Mod’s function. 

• Added locations for Gems, Ores, and their derived types to their descriptions.

• Enemies will no longer throw grenades at adjacent walls when trying to hit an out-of-sight target. 

• Toned down the brightness of Revenant’s Mesmer Skin FX. It will also now be hidden while in Archwing.

• Removed Parazon Finisher prompt on flying enemies, since they have to be grounded to become eligible for said Finisher. 

• Added animations when performing Parazon Finishers on Crawlers. 

• Converted the following weapons when used by enemies to PBR:

  • Glaxion

  • Jat Kittag

  • Vulkar 

  • Supra

•  Improved how Pobbers and Kuakas handle sloped terrain. 

• Gas City door scanners are now more lenient and their trigger has been narrowed.

• Using the Arsenal will now mute background dialog from NPCs and Pets. 

 

CAPTURA FIXES:

• Scaled down the Captura controls list to cover less screen space. 

• Fixed not being able to fine-tune the exposure setting in the Plains of Eidolon Captura Scene.

• Fixed your Warframe’s orientation quickly changing whenever the Captura Lighting Colour settings are changed.

• Fixed some text overlap in longer languages in Captura screens. 

 

NEW WAR REPLAY FIXES

Thanks to everyone who participated in our Public Test Weekend for New War replay functionality (and possibly first-time Quest runs)! Over 200 testers shared their reports spanning the entire New War quest. We’ve done our best to focus on the larger issues, and those that affected replay functionality, in time for this mainline release. We have you to thank for the following issues being resolved:

• Fixed misaligned Railjack when entering from Archwing during The New War Quest.

LES GO CHAMP

[tipsy_princess]

excessiveness of bright effects is only growing but the main toggle to cure eye cancer still being gone. maybe just return the toggle this game so drastically needs.
it all looks more like ain't being able to admit some decisions being mistake, rather actual inability to return adaptive exposure switch.

ORB VALLIS CONSERVATION CHANGE:

• In addition to the already existing Conservation method of Trail & Tranq, all species of animal on Orb Vallis can now be found ambiently in the wild! (Bolarola, Sawgaw, Kubrodon, Horrasque, Stover, Pobber, Vermink). Due to the endangered nature of the species, the rarest subspecies will still need to be tracked down by following their trails.

  OMG! This is fantastic news! Much appreciated 😻

As mentioned in earlier updates, there are still some outstanding Conclave problems that have made it into the game a while ago. The following are just a subset, but they're high on the list:

• Telos Boltace -- could simply be disabled if not reset to its pre Old Blood behaviour. It's been over two years now. Ragdolls on players should never have been a thing in a mode that limits CC to slows, impairs and knockdowns. In some cases it can even break the maps. E.g. here the player just keeps falling for over a minute until a reset happens:
  Spoiler

  

  

  

  

  

  
  In other cases one can get stuck in the geometry or even land outside the map entirely.
  
   
• Wolf Sledge -- its throw has it all: very high damage and range, retained the super-fast Glaive wind-up, homing projectile, knockdown, AoE explosions (both automatic and manually triggered) and can melee block while throwing, negating 100% of incoming shots in that direction. Here's an example clip.
  
   

• Fall-off bug. Causes a lot of shotguns and snipers to deal PvE damage (min. fall-off) instead of the originally balanced numbers. Has been reported numerous times over months. Latest here:

  Spoiler

   

  
   

• Saryn's passive + any electric weapon. A bug introduced with the damage type rework makes it possible for Electric procs to refresh themselves. This gets exploited by some to get an unavoidable damage source which ultimately just kills without being able to do much about it. Especially problematic with AoE like from Castanas.

 

There are more problems, but these are some of the worst offenders right now. People would already be happy if you just disabled e.g. Telos Boltace and Wolf Sledge if you don't want to take the time to fix the bugs/balance properly.

When will Excavation mission UI be fixed? It's been over a year now.

Please let all Tenno experience it at their own pace, and be kind. Use liberal spoiler tags if you wish to talk about it, and do not ruin the experience for someone else. Content Creators should clearly label spoiler content and use spoiler-free thumbnails.

 

And exactly how to you suppose to let people talk about spoiler content in game? There are no spoiler tags there, no channels and no solutons.  There's a lot of lore to be discussed and people are getting kicked and banned from chat because of it...

Oooh that square arsenal is gonna mess my warframe placement memory sooo bad😂😂😂😂

Can you please enable Steel Essence drops from Eximus again after the eximus rework. Acolytes will still drop the Arcane and will therefore not be useless but the Steel Essence farm is currently completely dead, adjust the chance accordingly to our results and your expectations before the rework but please allow us to farm them in a proper way again to give Vitus Essence a viable alternative

[-AG-Minerva]

Why is Khora Urushu heels broken while using Urushu noble animation? It's been broken for months already.

And why is Yareli getting an augment instead of a rework?

Edit: Checked Urushu bug ingame after update, not only heel is broken but now whole feet is broken aswell.

Bugs I want to get fixed in order of most important to least important, after a brief skim through the list it is sad to see none of these bugs mentioned fixed.

E: That is a nice and Comprehensive list of bugs that I see that have been fixed. But an ETA on when the following bugs will be fixed is also nice.
Excavation progress UI not showing up for client, this is most common for arbitration missions. 

Sac alt fire throw with glaive, repro video inside. This can cause the arcana bounties to become impossible since the only way to progress in the bounty is to throw the sac.

Akarius explosion fx, see post below this has been bugged for so long I think it is finally time DE dedicates some resources to fixing it.

Casting Celestial Twin with total eclipse active does not grant the twin the buff, see post for video and reproduction steps.

Excavator collision hitbox is all messed up and needs to be fixed

Test Cluster change: Kuva Lich/Sister of Parvos weapon reject list will now reset if you reject every possible weapon.

Thank god for the test clusters... imagine forgetting one of the simplest critical scenarios checks...

We ain’t gonna talk about how bland the star days event is? Idk about you, but spending 1 minute buying the new items for most players isn’t a good experience. The majority of players who are fairly active should have a decent amount of bonds to trade, and for vets there isn’t much to do again. I get QoL stuff, but Star Days isn’t an event: it’s a simple click and purchase for most of us

ADVERSARY WEAPON GENERATION - QUALITY OF LIFE CHANGE

As the pool of Adversary weapons grows and your checklist fills out, the natural chance of finding a Progenitor (Larvling or Candidate) with the exact weapon you desire shrinks. This Adversary Weapon Generation Quality of Life change is meant to reduce randomness over time of what weapon a Progenitor Candidate (Sister) or Larvling (Kuva Lich) can spawn with.

 

How it works:

By skipping a Progenitor (choosing not to Mercy them) the spawned weapon is then put into a ‘reject’ pile for that round of Adversary generation, meaning that it will not appear again and ultimately reducing the weapon pool each time you ‘reject’.

The list of rejected weapons is cleared once you accept an Adversary and the process would start again from a clean slate for both Sister or Kuva Lich the next time you go looking for an Adversary. This list clearing applies to both Sister and Kuva Lich, meaning once the chosen Adversary is Converted or Vanquished, the list clears for both factions.

Test Cluster change: Kuva Lich/Sister of Parvos weapon reject list will now reset if you reject every possible weapon.

I hope this reject/ checklist is made visible to us. Since many of us also play normal missions which can impact this list. And indirectly making the larvaling able to mercied and don't stop and check the weapon. 

Along with adding a way to force reset this reject list if needed. Otherwise great change that fixes an annoying part of the lich hunt.

It’s Star Days, Stardust! Love is in the air, Ticker has made sure of that. Visit her in Fortuna at her special festive booth to claim Rewards by exchanging Debt-Bonds from 2pm ET today until February 23, 2022 @ 2pm.

These types of events are some of the best ones to have, since they don't require us to grind out new resources or have to potentially suffer through a new gamemode. So thank you for that.

On a side note, next event with arcane rewards when? I think this could be Scarlet Spear.
