AndryB94 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I took a very long hiatus from Warframe. Something over a year, maybe two. Last I remember before I quit was a quite big patch that changed the whole damage process as well as the graphical fidelity/settings for the game. Because I've not been able to afford/get a good PC so far, and I've been stuck with a pretty bad laptop for four years, I was unable to properly play Warframe (plus, other things happened in real life) and had to quit. But I decided to give it a go again. I really can't play this game properly anymore, it's a miracle if I get 30fps on the lowest of settings, but I'm used to it. And I still really like this game. Even with sometimes choppy gameplay I still have fun and do relatively well, although I've been slapped in the face a couple of times when I underestimated my opponents. At the same time I feel weird, returning to my level 30 Mag with a bunch of resources and weapons. That, and because of my quite powerful Warframe yet not having logged in for a while, the game treats me as if I were a newbie, and I feel like I'm missing or skipping bits of story and quests. I remember being slightly tired of my Warframe, too (and back then, grinding for a new one was a NIGHTMARE), and hoping to change. I've been considering making a new account to start a new, but I'd like your opinions. What should I do, or what would you do if you were in my place?

I know the feeling of playing the game with such a low fps, used to run it on a terrible little laptop lol Anyways, welcome (back) to the game, a lot has changed since you left. I would advise you to keep your current account, actually. Getting frames is a lot easier, for the most part. ( Unless you count prime warframes, of course c; ) so farming a new one up wont be too hard. If you'd like, you can message/friend me in-game and I can give you a hand! Same username as here on the forums, obvi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed it's easier, I've been getting more blueprint parts in these past few days than in almost a year of playing. Honestly, I'm just sad many colours are still locked behind platinum, but oh well. I'll make do with my... Valentine colour set *cough cough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a lot of nice reds~ Yeah frame part drop rates have been overhauled a few times iirc, it's much less of a pain now. I'm logging into the game now for about an hour, if you need any help, don't hesitate to drop me a line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm logging into the game now for about an hour, if you need any help, don't hesitate to drop me a line I might pop around in half an hour, even just for a bit of a chat and all. Thanks for the offer, much appreciated. Edited December 11, 2015 by AndryB94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AquilliusRanger Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 V-sync is such a big tease, isn't it? I feel ya...but there's even a change for that in the setting too if you don't enjoy the usual, screen tearing cutscene and lag also... ; P A laptop is sure as heck wouldn't fit for a big game like this...so take a grain of salt from my advice and enjoy a computer-style spec for your game, as games shouldn't always be considered abandoned, you know... ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndryB94 Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 hi ! welcome back !! Thank you :D V-sync is such a big tease, isn't it?

It used to, a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, but not anymore. It doesn't matter, I've been able to run this just fine, playable enough anyway. I'm used to lag since years now, I can get headshots even with sub-par FPS. :D Welcome back Tenno! Thanks :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
