Devstream 1-8 overview?

[Cyborg-Rox]

Is there any place where I might find overviews of the first 8 Devstreams? The Warframe Wiki has covered every Devstream from 9 and on, so the first 8 are missing in the Wiki.

Would appreciate any help.

Their Youtube channel has all the past devstreams available for consumption.

Put if you're looking for a quick breakdown, no...I'm not sure where you could get them.

Are we thinking about making a list of WIP that hasn't arrived after three years?

I got the list, I just forgot to write down what devstreams they were from while watching them <_>

On another website I have some summary starting from Devstream 3 at the earliest. They aren't as detailed as AM-Bunny's. Would that help?

Ah, bummer.

I thought about doing the same at one time, but I tapped out once I realized that I only cared about clan kiosks in the relays.

That content is either on the bottom of the WIP or dead all together at this point.

Yeah, sure.

It's very amateurish but I have the summary for devstream 3 and 4. I thought I did more of them but can't find them:

Devstream 3:

Anyway, the biggest thing to note is that update 8 is coming this friday, with a bunch of new stuff (a new melee weapon, a pistol that has been given it's akimbo version and I

think a new shotgun) along with a lot of new goodies for clans. My guts tells me no one here cares about clans tho.

 

Second biggest thing: they are working on implementing on a melee weapon called the Glaive. Yes, that Glaive. You'll be able to throw it at enemies too. Along with that, they announced some throwable items. That wasn't announced for update 8, but still cool to know that it exists.

 

They also mentioned that a new boss was being worked on as we speak, namely to replace "Golem", and even showed artwork (spoiler alert: it's an infested). All around, they said they didn't want to add more damage sponges but that bosses take some time to introduce properly with moves, lore, art etc etc.

 

The community in general raised problems with specific frames, and the devs responded that they're always looking to make frames feel better. So yes, they are working on making better (or tweaking) abilities for frames. They also raised the possibilities of new powers for frames, and more than 4 powers per frame. Oh, and yes, they are working on new frames, in fact one of the dev said he would get back to one right after the stream.

 

According to the devs, the Stalker doesn't exist. What's a Stalker anyway? We certainly won't get more info about him in time.

 

Devs said they were working on a new faction.

 

They said they were also preparing a bundle of laser weapons to be released all at once instead of one by one. Definitely getting new pets options along with new pets (Sentinels, whatever). There will also be new mods eventually, including one to help with crowd control (maybe not the door lasers because it would be too popular).

 

Devstream 4:

The art part of the video can really be summed out to "we get a lot of inspiration, we look at stuff on the net from our fans, we're excited of doing Warframe after canning scyfy!Dark Sector, we're open to changing stuff". So really, mostly trivial information, like that at first the art director (Mynki) and co were very inspired by

Neon Genesis Evangelion and Metal Gear Solid before opening their horizons.

 

They gave a sneak peak of the current Warframe that is being modeled, which is stated to be a combat engineer. Fans of combat engineering can rejoice. A concept art can be seen around the 34:45 mark of the video I posted. I'm not particularly impressed by it so far, but considering the sketches of the other frames they showed, I think we can still expect something badass.

 

They talked about grenades too, if anyone is curious (I was curious myself): there won't be any, ever. The devs feels like it belongs to mods powers, so there won't be any kind of hand explosive available for all frames.

 

Update 8 is said to come out this friday, but I thought I understood it would be out last friday. I probably misunderstood, so I won't promise you that it is due this friday. However, it's supposedly this update that will deliver the Glaive. One thing is for sure, they are working on the Endgame of Warframe, which practically doesn't exist at this point. One of their vision was Clan's dojo, so that clans can have a physical place to show off their prestige, not much details beyond that. They were also talking about the pooling of resources like rubedos. Needless to say that update 8 is an ambitious update.

 

A third developper popped randomly and gave some random stats too: for example, did you know players as a whole were averaging 1 million missions per day? Or 1,6 million slash dashes per day? Also, it seems the game is more popular than they anticipated. That's a good thing, until their servers crash. Shouldn't happen now with their new super-hamsters ("hamsters" is a DE nickname for servers).

 

They talked about PVP (again): won't happen. The way they see it, there's already plenty of games out there that does PVP well, so they want to do something different for a change.

 

Gender swapping of frames is a touchy subject. Short answer: we don't know. Argument for it: customization. Argument against it: giving each frame a personality that is distinct. Best example would be Saryn that is described as a Femme Fatal. But then you get 3 Excaliburs together and the individuality kind of disappear. So yeah, dunno. To be noted, "dat Ash" jokes are already a thing.

 

That's pretty much it for the livestream I think. To be noted: apparently you can summon Steve (one of the dev) by shaking the Pink Shorts of Summoning. Food for thought.

 

Rebecca actually did a summary for the devstream number 5: See link.

 

Damn, looking back that was long ago.
