![]() ![]() It can be incredibly off-putting but stick with it, it will eventually pay off. I found myself on the subreddit and reading the Wiki quite often. You are thrust into an overwhelming universe without much direction or explanation of how things work. First of all, the new player experience isn’t very friendly from a design standpoint. There are issues with the in-game marketplace and occasionally frustrating game design that should be sorted out. Of course toxicity exists in Warframe (just like every other game unfortunately), but it’s rare when I met a truly toxic player. They have helped me a few times in the earlier hurdles and I’d like to give a special shout out to the brilliant subreddit. There is a positive energy with people always willing to help newcomers out. ![]() Even starting out, I have never felt so welcomed to a game. Speaking of the community, I firmly believe Warframe‘s is one of the best I’ve seen. It’s this open communication with the community that puts Warframe in a unique position. The streams are entertaining and you can clearly see the passion that goes into the development. The Devstream highlights upcoming changes to the game, new gameplay mechanics, new warframes, concept art for skins, and more. Every few weeks the Digital Extremes will host developer streams. ![]() The developers go the extra mile making sure their communication with the community is second to none. There was also the case of randomized colours for your pets that they removed because “it was being used too much”. If you wanted more then you’d have to pay platinum and now you’re looking at four per mission with no option to buy more. The biggest thing that put me off early was how the revives worked you used to get four per day. The fourth one, The New War, is scheduled to come out next year.ĭigital Extremes are aware of when they make mistakes and actively work to fix some of them. As of right now, there are three cinematic quests: The Second Dream, The War Within, and The Sacrifice. The Second Dream was the first cinematic quest to release and still holds one of the greatest plot twists of all time. It’s hard to talk about the cinematic quests without spoiling them, but they are very much story driven experiences. Then there’s other features such as quests, new cinematic storylines, new gameplay mechanics, a visual overhaul of the earth map, etc. It had its own problems, but it was good fun and an interesting experiment for the developers. Plains of Eidolon was released just last year and changed up Warframe in a big way by adding an “open-world” map to enjoy. My personal favourite, Octavia, is a brilliant defense frame that can buff teammates and deal insane damage. You’ve got support frames, tanks, casters, defense, DPS, and hybrids of the bunch. Almost every Warframe looks, feels and plays completely differently (with a few exceptions), so there is something for everyone. Today there’s thirty five unique frames plus Prime variants of some of them. When W arframe originally launched in 2013, there were only 8 unique frames. Warframe has had a constant stream of updates that are completely accessible for free. There’s also a chance to get discount codes on the daily log in rewards that go all the way up to 75% off. It can be traded with other players to encourage a lively trading channel and with adequate farming you could make enough platinum to never need to actually buy any. Platinum (the premium currency) is unique compared to other games. The money I’ve dropped into Warframe wasn’t because it was necessary (with one exception), but because I wanted to. ![]() Every single bit of content can be enjoyed without dropping a penny into the game. The payment model in Warframe is excellent for the most part. I’ve spent hours trying out and experimenting with different builds. But things get more interesting when you go into the status effects, weapon/frame augments, damage types, melee stances, riven mods, and much more. You’ve got basic mods that upgrade your Warframe and Weapons in basic ways. The shooting, movement, and abilities are easy to get used to early on, but it’s the modding system that gives Warframe more depth. Mechanically, Warframe is a simple shooter, but there’s a lot more depth than what’s on the surface. The codex is well detailed and can be filled by scanning items and enemies around the universe. Unlike a certain other Sci-Fi shooters, the lore of Warframe is accessible in the game itself through the codex. I’ve had a few run ins with the game since the Xbox One version launched, but it was October 2016 I really started to get invested. Back in the original PS4 release, there were a ton of problems that threw me completely off the game. I’ve tried Warframe a few times before really getting into it and it’s amazing how far the game has come. ![]()
