Hey Mac, I feel like not a lot of people say this but I would HIGHLY recommend doing all of your side quests! Before the main story (really before the New War), preferably. A lot of them are great for worldbuilding, and they can unlock some really nice stuff on the side as well. Deadlock Protocol is required to get Sisters of Parvos, the New Strange will allow you access to an endless horde mode great for leveling stuff quickly and a simulator-type area where you can spawn enemies to test things in a controlled environment, so on and so forth. It's not required by any means, but once you really start to get into the story I think they add a lot. And Octavia's quest is completely awesome too for its own reasons :)
That equinox farm montage is peak wf experience lmao. The first runs optimism, the middle runs frustrations and despair, and lastly the feeling of relief and gratitude LOL
@@dragondelsur5156 sorry, you are correct, for some reason i confused her with trinity. which is also a pain to farm due to ambulas. but no, equinox isnt in the circuit. i was convinced that she was, maybe they will add her later. since they said they will add other incarnon in the steel path.
@@dragondelsur5156 dunno, they could always just do a troll and make each version be its own frame for you to pick. OR they could make it only equinox. lets be honest, of all frames, she, trinity and ash are some of the most annoying to get. i dont think many people really care HOW they do it, we just want them to do something.
I really want someone to make that Teshin vid. "The beast of hunger within me stirs, good publican. I humbly request a cheese burger - please abstain from including the mayonnaise, for my mouth cannot bear it - with the largest size of potato wedges, fried in the french style, accompanied by a vanguard of soda water. Please, make haste! Your diligence shall be rewarded!"

He'd have to do nightmare missions or trade for it. Since he hasn't been doing every node on the planets he's run through idk if he's even seen the nightmare mission marker.
@@redfiend8746I mean animal instinct is dirt cheap on the market, 4 plat is basically free, could sell just about anything for it. He should also start looking into corrupted mods because it’s one of the best beginner plat farms on top of being a farm for mods essential for all builds.
he don't want to use his platinum at all to trade or to unlock exilus he said he want to be full F2P even though spending platinum is a normal thing in F2P journey of warframe
Fun fact. First time I did Tyl Regor stuff I misheard the "My Tube Men" as "My Two Men" thinking he was in a 3 way gay relationship. It sure made the story a bit different, but it kind of still worked in my head. I just went "Alright, you do you Tyl Regor. I won't shame." It took a couple of days before I spoke up about it with some friends and they laughed their asses off.
They did and he spent a bit on the wiki trying to find out how to get one, a few chat members offered to trade him one but he wants to earn things himself.
@@javierbowen6518 accurate. he's gonna go "grind it out himself" with 3 people taking him exactly where he needs to go and carrying him through whatever mission it is until it drops, just like all new players.....oh wait.
@@Koranthus I can abide by the taxiing as if you join a good clan or community that's something a new player can feasibly achieve. But I just did some quick napkin math and I think he's had about 4,000 platinum worth of relic packs and boosters gifted to him. That is absolutely a line I draw and animal instinct is absolutely not where that line is. Last stream he declined 20 platinum worth of Tellurium (2) and in this video alone has gotten I think all the Tellurium you need to craft everything in the game, and not even counting his first run for it which netted him 12 because of the boosters and Nekros. I have ceased to view this as a new player experience run, and I'm probably dropping the series save for the next video which is the second dream and maybe the sacrifice. Glancing at his videos it seems he recently hit MR30 in less than 6 months, so I absolutely doubt he has slowed down at all.
"I'm told its a big deal" is the understatement of the century. When I started playing Warframe I was kinda "zoned out". Npcs talking in quests but I didn't pay attention to anything, I just liked the game because I could blow stuff up. Then when I played Second Dream it was like I woke up and though "Oh shit, this game is pretty good, actually!". Since then I just can't WAIT for the next lore missions they release.
One of my absolute favorite parts of the warframe community is how well they handle spoilers around the second dream. It's such a paradigm shift that everyone just wants to experience it with you. PS, you're getting slick at the grineer hacking lol
I stopped caring after Digital Extremes not once, not twice, but three times used the Operator/Drifter for promotional material, if they stopped caring, I stopped caring.
WF killed my D1 Addiction, and D2 killed my WF addiction. I started watching you play D2 in January '24, and now watching you place a game that I love, with new point of view has drawn me back to WF.
I can't count the number of times I chuck a grenade when trying to bulletjump when I occasionally go back to D2. Then I promptly remember why I love WF, and I find myself back in Warframe pretty quickly :D
@XSlareX bro same. I go back and forth between the 2 games and when I go from warframe to d2 I always try and bullet jump and throw grenades. Makes you really appreciate the freedom of movement in warframe
Oh no, someone liked a game more than the game you like more! How dare they! Whatever will you do but comment that they shouldn't! We all know Warframe has never had disappointing content or lackluster releases or super short quests or a boring grind after a while, why would anyone have a subjective opinion that leads them to like another game more for a period? Your name definitely fits your reply. @@deluded2630
As someone who had to do the equinox farm twice, the casual "this will be easy" got a chuckle out of me lol. Also I'm in the camp of loving Spy missions, but that might just be because long back in the day I played the game in stealth mode (the whole "ninjas play free" tagline was amusing to me), and I've always enjoyed stealth games. This was also back before the WF meta was "nuke to win" lol.
I wasn't able to watch your stream when I sent you the Fortuna Theme Mac (cause I had to go to work). Seeing your legitimate reaction and smile made me smile! So glad you are enjoying the Theme, the game, and I am LOVING this series! I hope to one day run a mission with you.
A tip for endo (feel free to ignore if you've heard before) Ayatan statues and stars Statues can be found with loot radar In the ayatan treasures tab in mod menu you can insert stars into statues to increase the value of them You can sell the statues to maroo for endo I forgot to add that you can also do weekly ayatan missions from maroo for a statue @lorzon also brought up converting duplicate mods for endo And to cover credits you can sell harrow chassis(?) blueprints from inventory as even now you should have many
gorgon blueprints as well. you only need 1 gorgon, and after you max it, its better to grab their alternate version and use them instead. specially the prisma variant. which is the better of the 3.
For warframe mods, You'd want to focus on 3 things. Intensify, Continuity, and Stretch. These are basically the most basic go to mods for warframe, They will have better versions later on which are called Primed mods and/or Archon mods, but that's hundreds of hours away, so you don't have to worry about those for now. For Gun mods, you want the mod that does Damage, Multishot, Critical Chance, Critical Damage, Fire Rate. These will be your most basic gun mods. For Melee mods, you want mod that does Damage, Attack speed, Combo Duration/Count Chance, Critical Chance and Critical Damage. You should also upgrade ALL your elemental mods. You know what? You deserve at least a million subscribers.. For that... I'm in.
Kind of but Corrupted Mods are the way to go. Besides that, its perfectly fine for some frames to neglect a stat altogether. Like Volt only going for Range and Duration. Besides, by the time he'd get to Archon mods hes already in the minmax territory lol
20:43 all those hours of grinding so Mac can get this banger edit (and I'm here for it). As a D2 player taking a break since LF WF race to see if Bungo will get its act together, I'm stoked to see more Mac WF content in the meantime.
Spy missions have always been my favorite. The way vaults are so well designed (and procedurally generated) just makes them so much fun to replay because how you get to the intel is different every time, while also giving you different options and chances to test your parkour abilities. Stealth tests almost never exist aside from spy missions and parkour tests are never really there in Warframe aside from in the void and [redacted] tilesets so any chance I have to test my parkour abilities is an automatic plus for me. I don't think the community hates them, they're just a mixed bag for people who only play Warframe to kill things really fast.
The Second Dream quest is a key quest in the storyline. Take your time and enjoy it. It's pivotal, and will really enhance your enjoyment. :) As for spy missions? I use Ivara Prime with the Helminth mod that makes her immune to laser detection grids. I also usually put in the Parazon mod that autocompletes hacking attempts.
Wukong all the way when it comes to spy missions! His cloudwalker bypasses literally everything, and allows you to get to out of reach shortcuts with ease Nezha and Wisp work too as their teleports allow you to bypass grids
@@SapphicClown Hideous resistance grants immunity to status effects(never tried it, so idk if it works for laser grids). Auto Breach is the parazon mod, 30% chance to auto hack.
The second dream was an incredible experience, but if im to be honest, The Sacrifice is my favorite quest. Tells a great story and hits the feels. So I'm looking forward to your experience with that one
Switched to Excal just because you got the augment for Excal's 4, then never once used his exalted blade in the video, even in the melee-only mission? Aw, man. On the bright side, I (a Legendary 2 player) just learned about HUD themes from this video, so thanks! Edit: Warning! Finish scanning the Stalker before going much farther in the storyline quests! I'm still at only 2/3 scans on him after all these years because I didn't know that! In fact, there's a lot of things I wish I'd known to scan before it was too late. Such as in the Sands of Inaros quests, there's one where you face something like 30 feral kavats. If I'd scanned them all, I'd have received enough Kavat DNA to get every pet kavat with no effort...
I've been binging your warframe vids all day while working. I always love seeing new players getting so passionate about the game features and the lore. It's so satisfying, like experiencing it myself all over again from 2020 🥰 Hopefully I catch your stream sometime.
I like these videos... i haven't played warframe in a looooong while but got back into it last month, so this kinda helps me catch up with lil things i didn't know
Can't wait for the Second Dream Play though, it's nice to see how much quicker it is to reach now days compared to when I completed it back in 2019. That was a hefty barrier for new players.
Absolutely love seeing how much fun you are having with this game, and I have so much respect that you did that final farm at the end. The immense amount of raw will is commendable
I just wanna say that I love seeing the way you enjoy the game so much. As a long time player it really makes me happy. Keep it up been watching the videos as soon as they come out 😁
Make sure to always check prime resurgence in the market, no need to go to Maroos bazar, vaulted prime frames get unvaulted every couple months for limited time!
I recommend trying to get your hands on an Animal Instinct mod. It can go on any companion and provides both loot and enemy radar. They drop in Nightmare missions which are harder than most standard missions but easier than Steel Path (NG+) and typically impose a restriction, like melee only or no shields.
nightmare missions can be ABSURDLY HARDER, or much easier, depending on the modifier. sometimes, the modifier of the nightmare mission is such a non game changer, you might not even realize what they changed at all.
I hope you keep in mind that creator mode is only for veterans creating content and not for new players, whether they are new to the game or not. Until you complete all the adventures, don't even think about turning it on. It doesn't prevent spoilers, it just omits details that a new player needs to experience.
Even tho i didnt really like the clickbaity style of some previous videos and i think its a thing the community prefers to evade, this one is absolutely great and please keep this type of videos coming, always great to see new players enjoy this goated game
Idk if you have been doing this movement on/off stream but pressing wheel mouse button on your melee while in air to the ground lift the enemies off the ground and the animation is fenomenal
From all the flood of new baby Tenno, your genuine excitement and eagerness to learn the game is refreshing, this is what made us all love the game and stick with it for over a decade, I enjoy watching you and see the reaction, all of the sudden he's in Equinox farm, and I'm like NOOOO, please god don't make him quit, the damn daytime parts will come in time, please keep it coming, and your first 2 Rivens are on me, just message and they're yours.
Ive caught some up-to-date streams, but im teally enjoying this guy's vibe of "dont gift me stuff i should earn" and then not using the things that break the rule and farming the base stuff anyway - his new player experience isn't the same as the average, but his insight into ehat wuestions to ask his chat I feel makes for a very good watch for new players - lots of gems of info in this series.
Hey Mactics, new sub here :3 youtube recommended one of your early WF videos, and they're really well edited so I kept watching !! I'm sure others told you already but the game gets even better when you start accessing some of the later-game content !! I don't know if you have done that already but I highly recommend watching a couple YT videos that explain how weapon stats work (impact vs puncture vs slash + elemental damage) - it's a bit complicated at first but you'll figure it out. the TLDR of this is: slash goes KRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
The moment I saw you going for Tyl Regor, I already knew pain was going to be felt. I ended up caving and just buying Equinox. 50 runs and only mostly Night aspect parts broke me.
its the final parts grind that had me.. i resonate with the crazy drops required for the parts like WF wants you to suffer the grind before releasing you to another grind. they can smell your needs.
15:20 I can’t say whether we hate or love them as a whole, but some frames can help trivialize them. Several frames can go invisible, although iirc Ivara and Wisp (?) are the only ones that can step through lasers when invisible and not be detected. Others I’ve seen often used is Loki, Wukong and Titania.
As a veteran of the game you have brought me back to play this game earlier than usual. I normally start to play around October and December for about 6 months all cuddled up with hot cocoa. But I can play a little starting now
Equinox is my second favorite frame and previous main! Played her since 2015, until I recently got into Gyre. Her Rest ability is great for stealth and conservation in places like Fortuna and Cambion Drift!
Bro I popped in his stream the other day thinking he'd still be around this area of of the game and bro WAS NOT😂 he's fr been grinding it and I'm loving it!
Loving these videos (except for the Bengals helmet in the background...go Browns! haha). I played when the game first came out, then got away from all gaming just after Second Dream. When I came back last year, Second Dream was the one thing I looked forward to most (had to start over when changing systems, before Cross Save went live). Oh boy are you in for a treat very, very soon! That is, until you get to the absolute mind-*bleep* that is The New War!!!
Teshin's voice is done by Sean Phillips. I'm sure you can comission him to do some benign shit in Tesshin's voice. also, we all love Tyl Regor. the man is a woodchipper you throw scenery into. TUBE MEN!
ive been procrastinating heavily in the game )mr6 with 123 hrs, just finished natah quest yesterday) and ngl i was in shock the entire time. idk how i managed to stay away from second dream / new war spoilers but i'm very invested and very excited to get to the next main story! been watching your series for a week now and its been great seeing someone enjoy the game so much! i will suffer through all of uranus as i have thalassophobia and ... i heavily dislike the underwater segments
It's serendipity I literally started playing warframe a day before you did, and since found your channel, it's good knowing I'm.not the only one who's confused at times, but damn you got some damn good fans I was like how does this guy look like that when I look like a basic B, it's good though I dont even want the campaigns to finish because it's so good knowing theirs a story to continue with, natah or lotus I don't know what to call her at this point, but damn these writers go hard, slowly just realising I'm the bad guy or am I or not, like for real our operator needs a bullet in the head cuz just thinking about it hurts and so many factions are just trying to survive from their creators and then theirs us, a genocidal maniac who's lost his memory
Regarding the love/hate relationship of Spy missions as a community, there are game modes (such as Sortie) where if you or a teammate fails a single spy objective, the mission fails outright. I have since refused to do spy missions in a group in those game modes.
Here's the thing about Equinox's parts: She has 2 collections of components plus the blueprints for her day and night forms, which you have to make before getting to create the complete warframe. You will not believe how many times I heard "first you, Tenno. Next, your Lotus" before getting everything I need. Luckily her prime variant has none of the time wasting since she's built like all others.
At the time the quest launched pvp was more alive (we ran out of things to do) and teshin is your pvp teacher/master. So the player base knew him very well but for new players like yourself this may be the first time meeting him.
ngl the request for Teshin doing mundane things like a pizza order or w/e sounds like exactly the kinda thing DE would do. like the video of Reb reading silly names as Lotus. (I didn't wanna specify anything since this video is from 2 months ago and I don't know what's been seen or experienced so I don't want to spoil anything.)
You are getting there with the movement. Considering that there are frames that use other movement types used by some frames, though, maybe you want to try crafting them from the Dojo when you get that running. Frames like Nezha, who accelerates more when you slide (he's very good at sliding), or Zephyr who has permanent low-gravity. If you can get used to those, then you're going to get used to literally everything ^^
Elements matter a lot more in the game later on for certain enemies as you get later on in the game. Generally viral heat or viral slash is good. Radiation for other stuff later on but you don’t have to worry about it for some time
also started shifting to warframe around the same time. Warframe is really good and the thing is, the devs have and are showing consistent love to the game. definitelly addicted to warframe now
15:20 no. some people dislike them. but specially later, when you have a hundred cyphers to use. they becomes absurdly easy, as you can just burn one to bypass the puzzle. another thing is, you could put the code breaker ability in your frame with the helminth later. it is a waste of an ability, but i doubt anyone will cry for the loss of the decoy on loki... you can also use the orbiter timer stop ability. it is based on which orbiter you have currently equiped as your main. and you need to build the orbiter gear that lets you do it. but its a great "OH SHIT" button.
19:19 I guess I should've seen this coming when I made a comment about this grind in an earlier video. (Inspired music choice, btw) I just did the grind myself a couple weeks back (been playing this game since 2014) and got pretty lucky, I only had like at most half a dozen duplicates of any given component.
On the third vault, you could’ve done it by flooding the place there’s little pipes where you break the glass and you raise the water level the water destroys the drones
I remember farming equinox. I did a challenge where I had to do pushups or crunches depending on whether i got a day aspect dupe or a night aspect dupe. It was a very bad time
I mean this whole heartedly. Your genuine love for this game has SINGLE handedly made me love this game again. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD do not stop these videos
Bro I'm the same I haven't played since Umbra came out he makes me want to play again so bad
Power to you guys I don't know how you do it.

Ayatan statues and stars
Statues can be found with loot radar
In the ayatan treasures tab in mod menu you can insert stars into statues to increase the value of them
You can sell the statues to maroo for endo

@lorzon also brought up converting duplicate mods for endo
And to cover credits you can sell harrow chassis(?) blueprints from inventory as even now you should have many
Don't forget to burn your duplicate mods also. Even now you should have loads of dupes.
More importantly, you can put Ayatan stars into them to make them move, then put them in your orbiter as decorations.

You should also upgrade ALL your elemental mods.
You know what? You deserve at least a million subscribers.. For that... I'm in.
Kind of but Corrupted Mods are the way to go. Besides that, its perfectly fine for some frames to neglect a stat altogether. Like Volt only going for Range and Duration.
Besides, by the time he'd get to Archon mods hes already in the minmax territory lol

@@redfiend8746 Its still faster than getting past the new war dawg.
@@elseggs6504 Corrupted mods can be stacked with other mods
etc...
i would say instead of intensify, its better to focus on streamlined. as that gives you more ability casts.
20:43 all those hours of grinding so Mac can get this banger edit (and I'm here for it).
As a D2 player taking a break since LF WF race to see if Bungo will get its act together, I'm stoked to see more Mac WF content in the meantime.
Spy missions have always been my favorite. The way vaults are so well designed (and procedurally generated) just makes them so much fun to replay because how you get to the intel is different every time, while also giving you different options and chances to test your parkour abilities. Stealth tests almost never exist aside from spy missions and parkour tests are never really there in Warframe aside from in the void and [redacted] tilesets so any chance I have to test my parkour abilities is an automatic plus for me.
I don't think the community hates them, they're just a mixed bag for people who only play Warframe to kill things really fast.
really freakin wanna see that Second Dream VOD 😆
loving your content, dude.
how dare chat tell you to remove Thief's Wit.
The biggest deal on quests is The New War, and Whispers in the Walls.
You’re gonna love those two in sure of it
The Sacrifice though.
@@VallornDeathbladeThe sacrifice is still my personal favourite to me. Was a lot more impactful than the second dream IMO
Great teshin impression it’s spot on
The Second Dream quest is a key quest in the storyline. Take your time and enjoy it. It's pivotal, and will really enhance your enjoyment. :)
As for spy missions? I use Ivara Prime with the Helminth mod that makes her immune to laser detection grids. I also usually put in the Parazon mod that autocompletes hacking attempts.
He did it already, he’s done the new war too, its just his youtube journey is way far behind due to editing
Wukong all the way when it comes to spy missions! His cloudwalker bypasses literally everything, and allows you to get to out of reach shortcuts with ease
Nezha and Wisp work too as their teleports allow you to bypass grids
@@Kitsudragon i run infiltrate augment, a bullet jump mod for movement speed and perspicacity
What helminth and parazon mod are you talking about?
@@SapphicClown Hideous resistance grants immunity to status effects(never tried it, so idk if it works for laser grids). Auto Breach is the parazon mod, 30% chance to auto hack.
@@tr4l1975 oh, ill keep my perspicacity then
The second dream was an incredible experience, but if im to be honest, The Sacrifice is my favorite quest.
Tells a great story and hits the feels.
So I'm looking forward to your experience with that one
Thief’s wit is warframe’s version of hollow knight’s wayward compass lol
Switched to Excal just because you got the augment for Excal's 4, then never once used his exalted blade in the video, even in the melee-only mission? Aw, man.
On the bright side, I (a Legendary 2 player) just learned about HUD themes from this video, so thanks!
Edit: Warning! Finish scanning the Stalker before going much farther in the storyline quests! I'm still at only 2/3 scans on him after all these years because I didn't know that! In fact, there's a lot of things I wish I'd known to scan before it was too late. Such as in the Sands of Inaros quests, there's one where you face something like 30 feral kavats. If I'd scanned them all, I'd have received enough Kavat DNA to get every pet kavat with no effort...
I've been binging your warframe vids all day while working. I always love seeing new players getting so passionate about the game features and the lore. It's so satisfying, like experiencing it myself all over again from 2020 🥰 Hopefully I catch your stream sometime.
PLEASE dont stop warframe this is such a breath of fresh air and everyone is enjoying your journey in warframe!
Mac: "Did she (Lotus) used to be evil?"
Tenno everywhere: Yesn't mayhaps
I like these videos... i haven't played warframe in a looooong while but got back into it last month, so this kinda helps me catch up with lil things i didn't know
Gotta respect the grind for base equinox. I just gave up and brought the prime version lol
Sick warframe video start at 0:01 btw
real fans start at 0:00
@@BlackAphro_ the REAL fans have bell notification ON ready to click the video before it even is released 😂
Dead trend already
No shit
Cringe asf
I am so fucking excited to see your reaction to The Second Dream, I still remember how I felt when I played it. Absolute kino quest.
Mac: I've got streamer luck!
Me: well he just jinxed himself. *Old timey music plays* sounds about right
Can't wait for the Second Dream Play though, it's nice to see how much quicker it is to reach now days compared to when I completed it back in 2019. That was a hefty barrier for new players.
He’s so close to waking up now.
Absolutely love seeing how much fun you are having with this game, and I have so much respect that you did that final farm at the end. The immense amount of raw will is commendable
I just wanna say that I love seeing the way you enjoy the game so much. As a long time player it really makes me happy. Keep it up been watching the videos as soon as they come out 😁
Make sure to always check prime resurgence in the market, no need to go to Maroos bazar, vaulted prime frames get unvaulted every couple months for limited time!
I recommend trying to get your hands on an Animal Instinct mod. It can go on any companion and provides both loot and enemy radar. They drop in Nightmare missions which are harder than most standard missions but easier than Steel Path (NG+) and typically impose a restriction, like melee only or no shields.
nightmare missions can be ABSURDLY HARDER, or much easier, depending on the modifier. sometimes, the modifier of the nightmare mission is such a non game changer, you might not even realize what they changed at all.
It begins.
Love these videos, was so happy I could see your Second Dream playthrough live.
I'm surprised no one told him about the Reverse Camera feature to swap over the shoulder incase he has to peek over the left side.
I hope you keep in mind that creator mode is only for veterans creating content and not for new players, whether they are new to the game or not. Until you complete all the adventures, don't even think about turning it on. It doesn't prevent spoilers, it just omits details that a new player needs to experience.
11:12 Ohhh boi can't wait for his reaction!
I just can't wait to see you proceed further. You are to experience the peak sequence of quests.
Dang it mac! Now I'm going to have to go back and do these missions. Sooo good. You're gonna love the second dream.
Even tho i didnt really like the clickbaity style of some previous videos and i think its a thing the community prefers to evade, this one is absolutely great and please keep this type of videos coming, always great to see new players enjoy this goated game
Your videos made me pick Warframe back up. Loaded it up yesterday and had 6-7 quest to do. Down to the last 2.
Tyl Regor is my favorite Grineer character so i hope you treat him well
Idk if you have been doing this movement on/off stream but pressing wheel mouse button on your melee while in air to the ground lift the enemies off the ground and the animation is fenomenal
From all the flood of new baby Tenno, your genuine excitement and eagerness to learn the game is refreshing, this is what made us all love the game and stick with it for over a decade, I enjoy watching you and see the reaction, all of the sudden he's in Equinox farm, and I'm like NOOOO, please god don't make him quit, the damn daytime parts will come in time, please keep it coming, and your first 2 Rivens are on me, just message and they're yours.
Not even Macs streamer luck can avoid the Equinox farm
Good to see a UA-camr that enjoys playing Warframe that's not endgame and simply enjoying the early game and discovering new stuff as they go
I love seeing you play this game please make more videos and most importantly have fun!
I am seriously looking forward to you streaming and playing The Second Dream. It will change everything!
Ngl, watching you farm Equinox was funny as hell xD I feel your pain and I'm glad You went through it aswell
Ive caught some up-to-date streams, but im teally enjoying this guy's vibe of "dont gift me stuff i should earn" and then not using the things that break the rule and farming the base stuff anyway - his new player experience isn't the same as the average, but his insight into ehat wuestions to ask his chat I feel makes for a very good watch for new players - lots of gems of info in this series.
Mac: "She committed tax fraud and the sentient is the federal government."
Me: "...... yes lmao"
Hey Mactics, new sub here :3 youtube recommended one of your early WF videos, and they're really well edited so I kept watching !! I'm sure others told you already but the game gets even better when you start accessing some of the later-game content !!
I don't know if you have done that already but I highly recommend watching a couple YT videos that explain how weapon stats work (impact vs puncture vs slash + elemental damage) - it's a bit complicated at first but you'll figure it out. the TLDR of this is: slash goes KRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
The moment I saw you going for Tyl Regor, I already knew pain was going to be felt. I ended up caving and just buying Equinox. 50 runs and only mostly Night aspect parts broke me.
its the final parts grind that had me.. i resonate with the crazy drops required for the parts like WF wants you to suffer the grind before releasing you to another grind. they can smell your needs.
You should REALLY do the Duviri Paradox, it's pretty different but has an insanely cool story.
Dude watching you farm equinox brought back horrible memories haha I do not miss that farm one bit! Awesome video though I absolutely love them.
15:20 I can’t say whether we hate or love them as a whole, but some frames can help trivialize them. Several frames can go invisible, although iirc Ivara and Wisp (?) are the only ones that can step through lasers when invisible and not be detected. Others I’ve seen often used is Loki, Wukong and Titania.
Voruna can step through them too i use her for spy
limbo too, but he still gets detected by scanners and cameras.
wukong doesnt trigger lasers either in cloud form
@@bottlekn1ght202 I remember when I brought him to Spy missions, good times.
As a veteran of the game you have brought me back to play this game earlier than usual. I normally start to play around October and December for about 6 months all cuddled up with hot cocoa. But I can play a little starting now
Equinox is my second favorite frame and previous main! Played her since 2015, until I recently got into Gyre. Her Rest ability is great for stealth and conservation in places like Fortuna and Cambion Drift!
Oh boy, watching the Equinox farming segment was the best part.
I can feel his pain.
Your movement is getting really good. Love your Videos.
Lmao the 5 stages of grieve during the Equinox farm montage were amazing. Every player goes through this at some point
Bro I popped in his stream the other day thinking he'd still be around this area of of the game and bro WAS NOT😂 he's fr been grinding it and I'm loving it!
someone get this man an animal instinct. he needs his loot radar
Second dream is about to get you hooked
idk why but im all in invested on all your episodes
Loving these videos (except for the Bengals helmet in the background...go Browns! haha). I played when the game first came out, then got away from all gaming just after Second Dream. When I came back last year, Second Dream was the one thing I looked forward to most (had to start over when changing systems, before Cross Save went live). Oh boy are you in for a treat very, very soon!
That is, until you get to the absolute mind-*bleep* that is The New War!!!
Teshin's voice is done by Sean Phillips. I'm sure you can comission him to do some benign shit in Tesshin's voice.
also, we all love Tyl Regor. the man is a woodchipper you throw scenery into.
TUBE MEN!
ive been procrastinating heavily in the game )mr6 with 123 hrs, just finished natah quest yesterday) and ngl i was in shock the entire time. idk how i managed to stay away from second dream / new war spoilers but i'm very invested and very excited to get to the next main story! been watching your series for a week now and its been great seeing someone enjoy the game so much! i will suffer through all of uranus as i have thalassophobia and ... i heavily dislike the underwater segments
It's serendipity I literally started playing warframe a day before you did, and since found your channel, it's good knowing I'm.not the only one who's confused at times, but damn you got some damn good fans I was like how does this guy look like that when I look like a basic B, it's good though I dont even want the campaigns to finish because it's so good knowing theirs a story to continue with, natah or lotus I don't know what to call her at this point, but damn these writers go hard, slowly just realising I'm the bad guy or am I or not, like for real our operator needs a bullet in the head cuz just thinking about it hurts and so many factions are just trying to survive from their creators and then theirs us, a genocidal maniac who's lost his memory
Watching him play this quest I knew he was in it for the long term, got him hooked
Regarding the love/hate relationship of Spy missions as a community, there are game modes (such as Sortie) where if you or a teammate fails a single spy objective, the mission fails outright. I have since refused to do spy missions in a group in those game modes.
ITS HAPPENING. EVERYBODY STAY CALM!!!
Here's the thing about Equinox's parts: She has 2 collections of components plus the blueprints for her day and night forms, which you have to make before getting to create the complete warframe. You will not believe how many times I heard "first you, Tenno. Next, your Lotus" before getting everything I need. Luckily her prime variant has none of the time wasting since she's built like all others.
ah it begins, welcome to the begging of the end of the tutorial
Wiser words have never been spoken tenno
At the time the quest launched pvp was more alive (we ran out of things to do) and teshin is your pvp teacher/master. So the player base knew him very well but for new players like yourself this may be the first time meeting him.
The creepy uncle!!! U FORGOT THE CONCLAVE!!! DONT FORGET THE CONCLAVE !! REMEMBER THE CONCLAVE.
ngl the request for Teshin doing mundane things like a pizza order or w/e sounds like exactly the kinda thing DE would do. like the video of Reb reading silly names as Lotus.
(I didn't wanna specify anything since this video is from 2 months ago and I don't know what's been seen or experienced so I don't want to spoil anything.)
17:18 was sick as fuck. Proper Space Ninja, good job
You beat Equinox farm, the rest is easy peasy!
You are getting there with the movement. Considering that there are frames that use other movement types used by some frames, though, maybe you want to try crafting them from the Dojo when you get that running. Frames like Nezha, who accelerates more when you slide (he's very good at sliding), or Zephyr who has permanent low-gravity. If you can get used to those, then you're going to get used to literally everything ^^
Elements matter a lot more in the game later on for certain enemies as you get later on in the game. Generally viral heat or viral slash is good. Radiation for other stuff later on but you don’t have to worry about it for some time
also started shifting to warframe around the same time. Warframe is really good and the thing is, the devs have and are showing consistent love to the game. definitelly addicted to warframe now
I recently made the decision to leave Destiny after 10 years myself and I’m glad I found your channel 🙏🏾💯
Im so happy cuz ur getting close the new war which is the hardest quest ever but its really fun
I'm so hyped for you to get to the second dream.
15:20 no. some people dislike them. but specially later, when you have a hundred cyphers to use. they becomes absurdly easy, as you can just burn one to bypass the puzzle.
another thing is, you could put the code breaker ability in your frame with the helminth later. it is a waste of an ability, but i doubt anyone will cry for the loss of the decoy on loki...
you can also use the orbiter timer stop ability. it is based on which orbiter you have currently equiped as your main. and you need to build the orbiter gear that lets you do it. but its a great "OH SHIT" button.
19:19 I guess I should've seen this coming when I made a comment about this grind in an earlier video. (Inspired music choice, btw)
I just did the grind myself a couple weeks back (been playing this game since 2014) and got pretty lucky, I only had like at most half a dozen duplicates of any given component.
O7 for mac, this dood is a real farmer. few people do that farm in that early stage.
Bro made more progress than me after 5 months in just 5 days ..,,,
On the third vault, you could’ve done it by flooding the place there’s little pipes where you break the glass and you raise the water level the water destroys the drones
I remember farming equinox. I did a challenge where I had to do pushups or crunches depending on whether i got a day aspect dupe or a night aspect dupe. It was a very bad time
