How Bad Were Things Back Then?

[Bayle_Fire]

My start date for the game was 3/28/2014 or in other words... When the Dex Furis came out in celebration of one year that game has been out. I want to know the things I have missed before that date. What was it like? Where there crash bugs after simply opening a door? Did a frame not look the way it currently does? What progress have we made?

 

I want to take more appreciation on this game by knowing the things I don't. It would be great if you guys can provide screenshots or videos if possible on the older Warframe.

Crash bug didn't happen to me alot last year. Game was... well alot more of  a grind fest since resources and bp didn't have a guarantee drop rate. The control mods you see today didn't drop like rain... now their like nano spores. Rainbow build was a thing back then, and cryo round were actually kinda rare *for me that is.

Damage 1.0 - Insane armor scaling, elemental damage was just plain extra damage, there were no procs, no resistances, or anything fancy.

There used to be more prime weapons, but they were overused so they removed them

I enjoyed the game much more 9 months ago and i hate melee 2.0

Mods were not shared between frames(and between weapons). So you had to manually transfer every frigin mod that you need from one warframe to the other when you wanted to change frames. same with weapons and sentinels.

[Instinction]

Closed beta was amazing due to the ability to stacked mods, which just gave a flat rate instead of leveling.

So you could have something like 400% multishot + 170% electric/fire/ice damage (those were the only elements then, as per Dark Sector) + 200% damage on the Snipetron and run around one shotting everything, literally.

 

Oh, and elements used to be 100% proc, each of which was a lengthy stun so enemies could never move.

 

Oh, and many melee weapons had 100% stagger on hit, so you could stun lock enemies for days and never have to worry about anything.

 

Also, (not sure if this is still in effect) but there was one boss, Tyl Regor I believe, who was right next to a pit, and you could knock him off the stage by ragdolling him with the Kestrel into the pit and it would instakill him.

If you had an Acrid you were a God.

 

Also, armor-ignore or GTFO

Such lies... 

[Archeyef]

I remember when the Redirection (or was it Vitality? I forget which) drops got bugged, around the time I started. Bugged as in, they never dropped. Ever. It sucked.

 

And I remember when not only did bosses only have a percentage chance to actually drop bps like the exima do now, but the physics on them were screwed up and they'd fly across the room. It was very easy to lose them. I think at one point you could even hit them with your melee, with the same results.

 

"Formation Bravo"

 

Oh, and there was that time, though I never saw it personally, when the mobs would sometimes show up towering on each other. Imagine a stack of three or four Lancers standing on each other's shoulders.

At least the MK1-Braton was good back then compared to now. 

[FalsePride]

fusion core drought a while ago.. that was fun

[deathlander]

When Jackal was a challenge (and horrible RNG to get those rhino blueprints).

[jrkong]

TREE SYSTEM! The almighty 3k+ shields and hp and crazy mod numbers. RNG was a great thing back then.

[Toaman1994]

Son, back then, we had to use melee weapons with our bare hands. None of those fancy schmancy Stance thingys you young kids have nowadays! Nosiree!

I saw this old video once about the Jackal boss firing a bunch of rockets that just seemed to down (or at least inflict ludicrous damage to) a player every hit or too and the homing was ridiculous. Still thanks for the info though.
