Hi hello fellow Warframe enjoyers, I have a question!

What was the moment Warframe clicked for you?

Voting ended onJul 25

I've noticed a trend on where literally all of my friends (plus myself) clicked at the exact same moment, so I wanna see if that trend continues in an even larger pool of people.

Also, regardless of your feelings on human nature or anything, I think that a world where children can go to school without fearing being bombed from an ocean away is a world worth aspiring to and worth fighting for. Okay we might never abolish war because the inherent human nature or whatever mighty idealism you have. We could at least try to stop these wars, though?

[elbiotipo]

Again. Everybody get more anti war right now.

I like finding out what people my age and older had as their first cell phone. Anybody younger and their answer is a generic Android or iPhone. Phones from the 2000s were some wacky device like the sidekick or samsung x83 or lg env2

My first phone was a nokia 1112 in 2008

[darkferynn]

My first phone was this one. So insanely pretty. It came with a small bag in the same design and had an animated wallpaper of the flowers growing. I was obsessed when I got this as a child. Had like 500 songs on it and no internet access.

railjack is really really really fun and also good if you know the mechanics (that the game doesn't tell you) and your squad knows what they're doing (they wont because the game doesn't tell them)

[lightbulb-warning]

many such foolish cases of things left unsaid :)

[the-quasar-hero]

It’s extremely fucked up that some ppl try to make you feel stupid and immature for hoping for a better world. You say you want world peace and mfs think you need a pacifier; dawg, I just don’t want ppl dying from violence. This idea that ppl simply must die as casualties of war is misanthropic to say the least.

number one thing i want for public bathrooms is for them to be unisex accessible safe private and clean. number two thing i want for pubic bathrooms is for them to have flat surfaces in the stalls you can put your handheld items down on when youre shittin. ive encountered it in like two bathrooms ever and it changed my life for real.

I'm so sick and tired of having Warframe marketed to me by people with money in the most inane possible ways. No, I do not care that there's a Nine Inch Nails song in it. Yes, I know I love Nine Inch Nails. I like Smash Mouth too, but I don't watch the fucking Shrek films on loop just to hear them. The people with money spent their money that they got from emotionally manipulating you to license music for their intellectual property. They're getting free advertising from you, not to mention cultural permission to continue milking their customers dry as "the good guys" in the industry.

Wake the fuck up, Tenno. You're playing a hallway with occasional flower pots. You're supposed to be bored, frustrated and tired by the end of walking through it. So you spend more money to see more flower pots. They are not making a good game, they are making a profitably annoying game, which is so close to being art and uses that proximity to make you spend money. You are a blood bag to these vampires who you think give a shit about you.

They will continue to release updates that do more cRaZy and kOoKy things like make you go back to 1999 and listen to NIN while doing a dating sim because of the shock value. It doesn't matter how good 1999 is - it could be groundbreaking and I would not give a shit. You have to do multiple rep grinds to get there from a fresh account. You can't experience the art without first being forced to grind for weeks, JUST IN CASE you fucking hate that and you end up spending money to get there faster. All worth in the carrot is lost to me when you put it on a stick to get something from me.

Y’know what, this is perfectly fair.

The story being partly locked be Grinding reputation (and being so piecemeal and difficult to comprehend at times) kind of sucks. Alas

[beefusturoganoffu]

I wish that they would be more upfront about the grind you're getting into, too - it absolutely flabbergasted me that The New War stopped DEAD in the middle of its incredibly fast pacing to make me go and get a Necramech. I'm pretty sure it warns you now, but holy fuck, it was NOT a selling point of that story in the slightest when I realized I could have put down 5 bucks to have the story continued immediately. That felt especially wrong. You would have to know that that was going to happen when you made that, right?

[darkferynn]

They do not require you to farm a necramech at all anymore. You just get a loaner for the quest if you don't have one. Going by release schedule and with advance warning that it would be required before the quest was even released, we originally had loads of time (with not much else to do) to farm one and I suspect it was initially planned around that.

Obviously doesn't apply if you're a new player and speeding through the quests, but at the time of release it was not a problem and they went on to fix it when it became one for new players by making the farm easier first and then completely optional. In general they recently streamlined the entire progression through the story up to the new content.

Catching up is incredibly easy now. I think someone timed it recently for the purpose of Roathe romancing and it came out to like 53 hours and a lot of that is playing the quests themself. With the way the game is currently there is no need to grind any rep with any syndicate (there never was outside of the necramech issue afaik).

Three of my friends started playing recently and all caught up very fast with only casual playing. I actually have the problem now that I'm trying to interest them in leveling any syndicate on the side for late game reasons and they are uninterested because it is so unnecessary for them currently, but I know they'll hate the daily standing limits later (which are per dev statements there to prevent burnout, there is no way to pay your way past them).

I see that you're sadly getting rudeness in the reblogs for your initial take but I think it's because it reads as uninformed when looking at the game in its current state. There is no way to pay to progress through the story faster and the community itself has been incredibly vocal in preventing a story skip option from being implemented, so the way it is now where you need to make it through some nodes and checkpoints (where they inform you about gameplay mechanics through junction tasks) and fulfill some light requisites to unlock story quests is the best it's going to get. At the end of the day it is a game and not a movie.
