Also Warframe's unique in that if a glitch is found the Devs will tend to embrase it. Like the Helicopter technique they turned that glitch into an actual move set that lasted for years before someone changed it or it got fixed.
As a Warframe player, I'm glad you're enjoying the game. It can be overwhelming at first, not very beginner-friendly, but the grind pays off. It's like school in that sense putting in the effort now makes you stronger and better in the long run. The story is quite good too. again thank you for trying warframe Warframe is so underrated
Welcome Tenno! Buy weapon blueprints with credits from the market to carry you. Focus on doing the quests and complete the starmap. Don't pay attention to loot, you'll get plenty along the way. If you need help, get yourself a clan to back you up and mentor you. Have fun any enjoy your stay. :)
The number one tip I give new players is to think more 3 dimensionally. The devs love hidden rooms and most of them are easy enough to find if you just look up every once in a while. I've got 1500 hours in the game and still find new hidden spots from time to time. They generally like to hide a bunch of loot in the hidden areas making it beneficial to search them out. Not anything an endgame player will care much about, but at this stage in your gameplay, every little bit counts.
The energy is very contagious and you two complement each other nicely (one likes builds a lot, the other fashion frame)! I can't wait if and when you reach the Story Missions around Uranus!
I got back into the game just under a year ago, and played for 3-4 years when it first came out. This brought me such joy watching you two with the experience. IT's FTP, but honestly it's the only game I play anymore. The community, the gameplay, the grinding and building...it's the perfect game for the entire experience. I never get bored. Plus their livestreams on their Twitch channel every Thursday are just two hours of hilarious chaos with some of the devs playing with the community!
Warframe has always had top tier music and it only gets better 2:14:00 god the fact that you got equilibrium so early is wild that mod is hella rare especially for newer players
It used to be harder to get but ever since they got rid of flawed mods, the flawed equilibrium that new players would get before is instead now the regular equilibrium
I’m so glad this game is finally getting the full recognition it deserves it’s so fun especially with friends and the grind/content is literally endless🔥🔥
I think the game needs more content creators that play other games so they can point more people toward Warframe! It's crazy how many streamer friends we have that haven't tried it yet
Love warframe, been playing in since it came out. I've taken breaks, but come back. My biggest issue, is for all major content, they push you into multiplayer. I've played mostly solo and don't being forced to party up. Most of my experiences with rando groups is we drop in, i glance at the map, and then get the message "3/4 waiting for you at the evac" Always RUSH RUSH RUSH
There's an option to turn off matchmaking and launch any mission solo ? I barely have a week in and even I know this, just do that if that's your issue with playing with others lol
The only thing I will say is that anything with stats can be farmed for, and even some of the stuff that's just cosmetic, without spending a dime as long as you have enough patience to do so. Heavy emphasis on "patience". Also that on console, you don't even need PS+, Xbox Live or Nintendo Switch Online to olay it online, they mean it when they say the game is free to play.
Grind as much nightwave as you can, you get slots for weapons & frames. Get any drops or give aways that are weapons or frames as these come with slots as well; even if you already have those items, cause the slots remain even if you sell the items. If you need frame slots, and want to buy them, get a full prime frame. This will include a slot for that frame and slots for its weapons, plus plat and cosmetics. Then you can do what you want with the standard frame and weapons. Companion slots are harder. Give aways for these don't happen often, and there aren't many prime versions. But you don't need a lot of these slots.
Oh also I hope I get to see your reaction to seeing Stalker for the first time basically the most terrifying enemy to encounter for new players. The Grundess 3 is probably the second most dreaded unit to encounter. Although their drops are spectacular. Oh and you might want to explore the clan structures an inside them more because most don't know this but their are still moduels to build armies back when they had actual pitched clan battles for Solar relays where. My old clan was involved in that alot and we actually beat Angry Joe's army once durring this until the Dev's stopped this. But they left the stuff and programs and mechanics to build the armies so we might be getting army battles in the future.
I think most people don't play it because its kind of a grind game but the storyline is so worth it! I been a 7yr long Warframe player and i adore the game, i also do enjoy the effort i need to put into getting the items its more fulfilling when the items are fully made.
I can answer the titular question as someone with a modest 1k hours in the game. It's honestly the mod screen. When a new player first goes to customize their warframe or weapon they see the mod screen with all the stats, and it looks like too much to learn and just uninstall. No shade at them I totally get it. There are so many systems to learn and the game is terrible at properly explaining them. Even the in game tips aren't very helpful. Sure the community is great, but if people don't understand how the game works at a base level what good is the community gonna do? Players shouldn't have to use external websites to understand how damage is calculated, or about what matching the polarity of a mod to the polarity of a slot does, or even that auras and stances add mod capacity. The veteran players shouldn't have to onboard new players, that's the tutorial's job. Hell tutor is the root of the word. The other thing is a lot of the early game is directionless with no story in sight. I've seen countless stories of fresh Tenno with 90+ hours before they even finish "The Second Dream". All because there are dozens of other things they could do by the time they get around to it. It's kind of like Skyrim's main quest. It's basically a meme that people have done all the notable sidequests like the dark brotherhood, or thieve's guild quests before even talking to the Greybeards. Third, the players want to change weapons right, so they go to the market and the list shows all the guns, but with the plat price tag attached to most and a credit to the mk1 variants and think "shit I gotta buy plat to get these, man fuck this game". Not knowing that a lot of the market weapons have blueprints they could buy. Then last but certainly not least, the craft times. 12 hours for frame parts 24 hours for weapons and 3 days for a complete warframe is enough to turn most people away. There are arguments for keeping them and against, but that's not the purpose of this comment.
Always funny to watch first time someone playing game. So much excitement! I play this game for something about 7k hours. Start this game back in 2015. Still playing it at least two-three hours a day.😅
@@GhoulxWarframe Really glad to hear that. Enjoy your time. Take all you can from this game and, most of all, take your time while you doing that. 👍 Sincerely, "Dojo keeper" of Millennium Squad, HSoul.
I knew you may get the warframe bug when I heard you excited for 1k headshot. Numbers go up and my brain is happy. Last night a screen shotted a 36.2mil radiation proc. It was great.
if you end up in the nexus their is a hidden boss who only appears after 1 hour of play in the nexus Johnny Prodman with a pretty covided drop and this guy is all the way back from the Beta with his own lore.
There’s no penalization when using both a keyboard and controller for Warframe. I’ve been using both and haven’t received any penalization after years of playing. You get penalized if you’re using Marco or other hacking like programs on pc that gives you advantages or going MIA in game.
The aim assist works for mouse and keyboard to you won't have any issues with get your account penalized PvP is a very niche part of the game very few people actually play the PvP content

There is nothing locked behind paying that we have encountered. Also the grind for gear and certain tools was greatly reduced we were told. Lots of veteran players are astonished we have gotten as far as we have as quickly as we have gotten there. You may be thinking of Destiny 2. The "free" looter shooter
@@CmdrStriker I will say it can be confusing that some quests are locked behind Mastery Rank. Make sure you spend the in game credits on weapons and blueprints for weapons.

"why arent more people playing this?" i mean, its almost always in the top 10 most played on steam. sure more players should play warframe, since its one of, if not the best F2P game on the market, but i would argue ALOT of people already play this.
I agree. I think from the US pov not many people play it as other F2P games. I like how excited people are in Canada and other places. Warframe deserves more mainstream coverage in the gaming sector for sure

I found a CRAZY nook on our first day of open world Duviri. There was the base of a tower growing out the bottom of the map with an Easter egg in it
Yesterday I found out in Gas city. A big room on a spawn point has more floors up there to explore, after 5,200+ hrs.
