Brimir Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) Definitely the Syndicate I wanted, because lore and stuff, but now that their rewards have been revealed they don't "favour" the Warframes I like so unless I want to screw myself over, I'll have to probably pick the Arbiters (because Loki). I really, really wish they had dumped the "favoured Warframes" aspect of the Syndicates because it very much forces your hand. EDIT: I realize that Arbiters and Meridian don't clash, so I lucked out. But a lot of players didn't - their favourite Warframe syndicate clashes with the one they want to join out of lore or theme or something.

AM-Bunny Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Why not just trade for the agument mods of the warframes you like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farren Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Except if you scrolled down you would have seen that Glen said that only two of the Warframes were named for each faction, and each one has more. Hell you could have used context clues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell you could have used context clues. Except if you read about the Arbiters you'd see that Loki is already "taken" by them. Why not just trade for the agument mods of the warframes you like? Because that relies far too much on another player to get what I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)IIIDevoidIII Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 And you can even choose both Steel Meridian and Arbiters. They have no effect reputation wise on eachother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric1738 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 this is my plan: join the syndicate giving me the most wanted reward first, then switch to the one i like most, and stick to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brimir Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 And you can even choose both Steel Meridian and Arbiters. They have no effect reputation wise on eachother. Fair enough, but I'm sure there are tons of players who are not as lucky in that regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Othergrunty Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) If you mainly use Loki you can go with Arbiters of Hexes and SteelMers without problem. They don't bite each other. Just switch the their Sigils (which you can without problem). However your Red Veil rating will suffer, since the Arbiters hate them, but since SteelMer like them the rating will go down slower. Also the special mods they give you for those favored Warframes are tradeable. Just find someone with your problem but on other faction and enchange the mods with them. It seems the whole favor thing is simply build in to encourage players to interact with each other more. And if you don't like interacting with other. Just main each faction one after another, get all their mods and THEN main the one faction you prefer. There is a max limit to how much negative standing you can have with a faction.

AM-Bunny Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Because that relies far too much on another player to get what I want. They're probably going to be very easy to get and will be for sale everywhere for like 2p. Sorry this is just a very stubborn outlook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rakshal Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 The favoring frames is pretty dumb IMO. I basically forces the player to join a faction based on favored Warframe or weapon rather than lore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, I lucked out. There are most likely tons of other players who are don't have it that easy i.e their favoured Warframe clashes with their favourite Syndicate.

Guest killine Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Its surprisingly useful for me. I always use Saryn as my primary warframe and Rhino for speed runs. So yeah. On the other hand i will just gain all of the reputations and get all the weapons. So it doesnt really matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are most likely tons of other players who are don't have it that easy i.e their favoured Warframe clashes with their favourite Syndicate. The favoring is simply the ability boosting mods they give. You won't lose standing with them just for using a Warframe they don't prefer. Meanwhile those mods can be gained via other players and they are not one time only So for example If you like Vauban but want to join the Perrin Sequence, just do so and trade the Mag and Nekros booster mods with someone who mained Suda but likes using Mag. It's not so much about punishing players as it is to encourage them to interact or develop strategies to get what they like. ... God Warframe really IS becomming kind of a trading card game.

Othergrunty Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) It always sort of has been :) Ha, i know. During Gamescon 2013 i think Rebecca or Sheldon allready made a comment how mods are resembling trading cards. Likewise the only way to get mods with plat is via random chance packs. And now we got another motivation towards the "trading" part of the name. Edited October 24, 2014 by Othergrunty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laisha Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) Wait...the 'new' warframe mods from the syndicates are tradeable? Aren't they removing warframe mods... So...now I need to press 5, 6, 7, 8, etc. to activate the new powers...or...what? Oh well a few hours left and I'll find the answers myself.

RazulDarkwood Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I'm a Volt user 24/7 and I plan to join the Arbiters of Hexis because of their ideology but still I bet that some people from my clan will give me the Volt mods from the Red Veil. In my case I cant work with both but still I plan to be with the Syndicate who I believe will suit me most as belief. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WERElektro Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I will play for the sequence, even though they don't reward me Volt abilities. These things are tradeable I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adaptor-Face Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) no one has said that one frame can only be favored by one syndicate, for all we know, loki could still be favored by steel meridian or cephalon suda or even new loka or all four at once Edited October 24, 2014 by Adaptor-Face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not entirely new abilities themselves. Ability mods are being removed. The mods that affect abilities are not. The syndicate frame mods fall in the second category.
