Contact bug

[Ishiba]

Hello there Friends..

I'm Sylvio From Brazil and yesterday i noticed something strange...

I was trying to play with some friends and when we loged in the game either me and him was appearing as offline to each other..

A third friend joined to test it and the same was happening..

So the bug is, You see your friends, But they appear offline and u can't play with them.. Help us.. :)

Thanks.. :)

Same issue.

Well actually, I can see 2 of my friends, the others are all perma offline to one another. Yet some of those that are offline to me can see each other and not me, and some that can see me can also see those I can't. This results in having to tag team each other to get into groups, because some of us just can't play together without a 3rd party there to enable it.

I've opened the ports required on my firewall.

My ISP may block them, as I've used http://www.canyouseeme.org/ and the answer is no for those ports (3960 & 3962).

But this leaves me wondering why should everyone that plays warframe have to contact their ISP and get those ports unblocked, why not use regular ports? I've never ever had this issue before in over 15 years of online gaming, that a company specifically chooses ports that many ISPs block.

As a side note, can't you get steam intergration or something similar? I know some members here might not like steam for their own reasons, but it's really convenient especially when everyone I want to play warframe with is already on there.

P.S. PLEASE NOT GAMES FOR WINDOWS LIVE! IT IS GAMING CANCER! IT KILLS ALL THE FUN!
