i will sub to see your journey throughout this adventure
@@snobbymclobby1160 No, that will spread the brain dead plague. I just cured myself of it.
20 hours is still pretty early in warframe the difficulty will ramp up s you continue the starchart and yes everything in warfame can be gotten without real money except cosmetics and even those platinum only items can be gotten without paying money yourself by trading with other players for their platinum it all just takes time the stronger stuff just takes longer or is harder to get
The problem is that Warframe is so insanely large and content rich that with your first 20h you essentially only stayed in the tutorial even though its not named like it.
Lol content same cut and paste trash everywhere
Oh yeah.
What players call "The real tutorial" you'd only be able to maybe reach if you beelined with perfect path.
It wasn't even in the game for years.
So you can image how players react to it. (I hope the existence of _SOMETHING_ isn't a spoiler.)
So true,I took a long break a while ago, when I came back you could of free roam on some huge planets.
The game is so vast and full of content it's crazy to comprehend sometimes.

@@troy5370 Everywhere? r u even playing the game?
"Not what I expected" is a fair beginner experience. Right after "Mum, help, I'm lost"
I felt that. 😂
The true question though is : who are you reffering to when you say "mom". Lotus ? Nora ? Vor ?
Okay, maybe not Vor...

His 4th needs to proc electric dmg so we can use arcon stretch though
Yeah fr , but I do think you don't need archon stretch to does the job

"I was walking too slow, I was running too fast. I overshot my target" pretty much described 100 days of warframe. Which, btw, I suggest you to watch! It pretty much sums up the gameplay experience🤣 Good to have you, Tenno!
I remember watching one of Reb’s streams where she overshot her aim glide and got stuck above the door frame. If the Devs still do it then you shouldn’t worry about it.
on a friendly note - you mentioned that you felt like you still played in tutorial after 20 hours....the general playerbase consensus is - tutorial lasts till about 50-70 hours until you beat "Second dream" quest.
Because of early game streamlining it's possible to hit Second Dream in a handful of hours if you follow the critical path. They took a lot of the filler quests off of the critical path so players can do them at their own leisure, and there's a few less timegates in the way but in fairness when you do hit one there's so much other content to go do in the mean time.
id more say that the tutorial is until you unlock steel path
legit.
@@Maleniax_lnah, since that's just a hardmode it wouldn't really be fsir to call it "the real game"
I’ll go as far as to say the tutorial ends around the new war
I think the reason Warframe has maybe the best community around is because every player knows how lost they were when they first started, and every player had that someone who helped them navigate the madness, so everyone goes back to help the newbie's who reach out for help, and that aside from fashion frame is the true endgame. Helping your fellow players.
And so the cycle of kindness keeps on going
@@chronosite And this is wonderful!
i learned the game the hard way long long ago. but i remember what it was like and i sit and talk with new players whenever they ask. its kind of a way to show off too. like you bring a crazy frame to a mission and low and behold theres an mr 7 and they're like "wow how did you make that frame so good i heard that frame was terrible" and then you explain. you point out some niche crazy interactino that you're exploiting and their eyes shine with anticipation. with this wonder for the systems interaction that lets you make aframe or weeapon that all the big bad youtubers said was terrible actually work. and then they ask you for advice on their build and you get to explain statuses or additive vs multiplicative damage, or stat sticks, or energy management, or whatever little refinement that they can achieve to push their build forward. some hidden system or not well understood interaction that lets them use their mod capacity better
Also the vets like the look on people's faces when they complete The Second Dream so they don't spoil it.
Here here! It's insane to think about how few games actually have a community like this. So many other games have communities filled with players who overcome such and such learning curves or challenges, then use that as a pedestal to stand on, to lord it over the players that haven't reached their level, completely ignorant of the players above them doing the exact same thing and how they're repeating a cycle of toxicity. Sure, this community isn't perfect, but Warframe truly is a haven by a large part.
3 reasons why I play warframe:
- The main story.
- The music.

One of the things you missed I believe is that you can trade the premium currency platinum for blueprints with other players. You can farm rare blueprints and sell them other players for premium currency.
exactly like the game is so deep but my favorite part is the market and grinding stuff out and selling things
yupp, the slogan "ninjas play for free" is based on the in game player economy. And ninjas aka good players, know how and where to farm things effectively, while not having to spend much time at all, so in the scope of time vs money, it's practically free in the relation to enjoyment of pure gameplay.
Take someone who don't know how/where/when to farm, compared to someone who is farming properly in a group. And the group probably farms over 10000% more effectively than the player that don't know how to farm. This drives in to the economy part, where platinum acquisition is churning between knowledge and favoured content by the individuals. aka player a hates farming x, while player b loves farming it, and platinum is used to trade invested farming.
Then you have the influx of platinum to the market, which is newer players, players who just don't know how to farm, or players who know how to farm, but that fashion endgame left some plat over, so it's dumped in to the economy
@@magnuslshonestly just running relics without sharing and just picking the rarest drops will usually net you some decent plat.
Arcanes sell for a lot more
Unless you're on switch, then Nintendo decides to screw over its player base, and you can only trade platinum with other switch players that have cross trade enabled💀
Warframe is a game that has several, "Not what I expected" moments, and they're all amazing. Not difficult? Yeah don't worry. Finishing the Star Chart is just the start of Warframe.
So true. And Teshin will knock all the neophyte virginity out of you. 😹😹😹
Just like finishing the story is basically the tutorial of Monster Hunter, finishing the base star chart is basically the tutorial of Warframe
Was gonna say, man's talking about warframe being "too easy" and i'm sitting here figuring out builds for steel path content so i can actually manage the "harder difficulty"
The game never becomes more difficult than early game aside from *maybe* eidolons.
Combat becomes more tedious, but never more difficult. Bullet sponges arent difficulty but rather annoyance.
Skill isnt a factor in warframes way of feigning difficulty. Its all about numbers and speeding things up. Warframe isnt a difficult game and never will be unless DE drastically reviews their design philosophy.
Just downloaded war frame and watched the opening cutscene, can someone give me a rundown of what the game is like? I hear people saying that it’s hundreds of hours long and stuff like that but I’m just a bit confused by it all so it would be appreciated if it could be explained 🙏
Please keep in mind that the story only starts with the 'Second dream' quest on Uranus, everything before that is side quests and background teasers.
Please play that quest before closing the game and drawing a conclusion. it. will. blow. your. mind.
Edit: 3 weeks later. he did it boys. a new Tenno is awake.
mind blowing how this dumbass made a review on a game he barely played😂 had some shit points too
I hate this take so much , like do u expect everyone to put 30-50 hours into a game that they might not even enjoy? If people don’t like it in the first 10 or 20 hours they should just stop playing, and I’m saying this as someone who has 800 hours in warframe
@@dalog9194 It's not a take, it's a fact. I did not tell him that the game GETS GOOD at that point, i told him that the STORY STARTS at that point. Also how fast you reach the second dream is entirely up to you, i have seen people get there in 10 hours.
If someone wants story in warframe it would be a blatant lie to tell them that they already experienced it, so they would just move on and assume that they already experienced the "story" just like a lot of people do, and we both know it's literally just the start and it would be a shame because warframe has an amazing story.
Also i think you disliked this comment because of Josh Strife hayes video. Back then some people told him "the game gets good after 100 hours", which is completely false cuz the game stays exactly the same. it's the STORY that gets good.
@@dalog9194 Also he states multiple times that he did enjoy the game so your take about "putting 30-50 hours into a game that they might not even enjoy?" is just plain wrong.
ima be real with you, the fact that it started at second dream suck ass
how to deal with the foundry timegates: build a weapon at night, go to sleep, wake up, weapon done. Same for warframe parts. For the 3-day timegate, start on another grind, play another game, do something else while waiting for the warframe to finish. I've got over 800 hours in-game, I can tell you now that the timegate doesn't block progression. It simply gives an opportunity to do something else. It's the same reason they put in several intentional break area in the 4th-to-final current quest.
I think they ought to reduce non prime frames to a 24 hour build time instead of 72, keep the 72 for primes.
For sure when I started the time to bill was annoying but now I just start things and move on to some thing else because there is so much to do and now I’m MR12 I have 5 different frames sitting completed in the foundry along with multiple weapons 😁
@@Salmon_Toastie can buy with Platinum skip the time in the foundry and you can farm pl in game for free consistent like idk 100-200 pl per day in 4-5 hrs of game
I think issue kinda sorts itself out when you reach mastery 3-5, because you start getting a lot of different things pretty much every couple hours, every day, so you start building up foundry queue. It's more of a mindset thing, rather than system failure. If you are going to max 1 thing at the time and not have anything crafting in meantime, you'll be spending whole lotta time waiting for things to complete.
the foundry has no limit on the number of items you can have building or built, so you could have hundreds of items crafted, and only be limited by the number of active weapon/warframe slots you have. -highly- recommend going on a massive build spree, so there's always something waiting ready to go.
One day you're sneezing on a boss 20 times in a generic corridor mission, the other you're a space pirate with your own ship against a fleet of enemies, and the next day you're a living paradox fighting in a souls like roguelite.
I've been playing Warframe since 2014. For the past few years, there hasn't been a single development team that listens to and engages with their community more than Digital Extremes. It is the pinnacle of live-service
2014?
Then maybe 2013 was when they stole the i.p. of the players and passed it off as their own creation.
@@DC...very bored person! Find joy in other things 🫰🤲🔥🔥🔥😈😈
Well....most of the time, they sure take their sweet ass time when it comes to fixing up old, outdated warframes, but nobody's perfect and overall your right, they do a fantastic job listening to, and interacting with the comunity! Their pretty much the gold standard
and they got better now since we started getting a weekly 15 minute long stream to tell the community on what are their plans and answering questions
Dude DE released Warframe in 2013, this was their game to launch the studio ahead. Theyvliterally predate destiny. @@DC...
Time gating in Warframe is non existent beyond your first craft when you're a new player.
By the time you level your second set of frame + weapons, you'll have a backlog of weapons + warframes ready to level, you won't be actually waiting on anything to craft, since something will always be in the oven.
You forget to mention if they want more gear, frames etc gotta buy more slots.
nah even at mr 22 i get weapons and am like bro i cant wait to use this gun tomorrow, ( then 5 formas it coz im crazy and i love the weapon totally not my experience with hystrix then hysttrix prime lmfao)
@@TheDragonfriday Yep, slots are definitely the ONLY big and very annoying inconvenience, they really just need to add 100 slots to everyone by default, allow to still buy more beyond that, but by default 100 should be the minimum in this day and age.

"Items don't tell you what they do"
As he hovers over multiple items with full descriptions on each explaining exactly what it does.
you can actually also get a 75% discount for platinum which is one of the best ways to manipulate players into buying it and I 100% respect that cause the player feels like he got something good for a low price and the company/studio (DE) get some amount of cash as support this drives the games economy between players. also you didn't talk about the community much so I recommend talking with the community both in game and on different sites as they are one of the nicest communities I have ever seen.
Warframes platinum economy is build around the expectation that you either farm for platinum through trading, or you buy platinum at a 50% discount.
Everything in the store is priced around that expectation with an additional convenience fee of 25%. It has worked so far.
Spent money on Warframe many times, never felt bad about it, especially the community made items, with thousands of hours and over 10 years playing, DE earned my money
Do the story quests. Those can give you frames, weapons, and unlocks other stuff. You're still kinda just scratching the surface of what the game has to offer.
Edit: Addendum: I can't emphasise it enough. Do the story quests. I bounced off of Warframe the first few times I tried to get into it because I fell into the gearing rabbit hole too early. Then I decided to just play the story and put everything else on the backburner. And that is how I fell in love with Warframe. Warframe has given me some of the most magical gaming moments of my life.
Def this game is like a stew that just keeps on surprising you. And similar to elden ring the many many types of builds keep it fresh and interesting and the content itself.
He’s saying it’s easy so I assume he hasn’t touched any of them
Warframe has some of the best lore and story in all of media. I can't wait to see what they do with 1999.

@@godzelda123 WE'RE GOING WHERE THE WINDS DON'T BLOW
It never gets ‘hard’ in a skill based sense. The difficulty come in getting a frame to the point where everything dies before you get one shot
Yea the game is basically about making "your frame" a nuke. Meta is cool but it doesn't matter.
> When a game has a great soundtrack, you know there's a passion behind it.
*This Is What You Are Intensifies*
Anytime I think of warframe, that theme can't be stopped from playing in my head, the Second Dream still has a huge effect on me years later
As a wf veteran, I honestly can't remember the last time I rushed something in the foundry, other than the gargoyle, which costs nothing to rush anyway. In the late game, the time gate isn't really anything, because once you start building, you're just off to farming the next thing. Or, you can just turn in for the day. Ordis literally tells you it's okay to take breaks.
Exactly. With around 20-40 hours of play time I feel like this review was good for what it is, but rushed. I'd say at least unlock SP before making a review.
@@shaytheswift_4327 i would disagree mainly because SP (steel path for the uninitiated) is actually a pretty late game unlock. most of us vets did it ages ago so its easy to forget but completing the entire star chart takes a long time lol
@@MykahMaelstrom what I'm trying to say is 20hrs playing volt is just not enough time to be able to put together a proper review. I mean did he even mention the fact that making platinum can be done very easily and for free? 20 hrs is just barely scratching the surface of warframe.
The mid game I had too many things in the foundry and warframes and weapons and waiting time was a non issue it's was only an issue in the very beginning
I have only 200h but I rarely feel the foundry is an issue. I always have different things cooking at different times so I always get a new item or a few every day. There is always something to do as long as you aren't just trying to rush through the quests.
Warframe founder here: The game has changed so much since I started playing that it’s very interesting to hear what a new player experience is like. There are so so many systems, and so many things to do. The time gating never bothered me; there was always so much else to do, something else to farm that I would just go do that and have multiple things lined up. Quests are super important, and I would definitely make unlocking the star chart and getting those quests a priority.
I have definitely spent money on this game and will in the future. I pretty much only buy cosmetics. Farming for the stuff is the fun part for me, and I want to look cool doing it.
If you ever need help, check recruiting chat and ask for help. There’s always experienced players that are willing to help someone who’s stuck or needs something higher level than what they are. We’re a friendly bunch!
Probably the nicest community i ever had the pleasure to engage with. I love how the developers listen to the community and how the community itself is so nice. I've had poeple just giving me more than i asked for while trading (like a max rank mod instead of tge rank 0 i requested) without asking me to raise the price.
I missed out on founders status by a few months, and have had nearly the same experience and agree with your advice wholeheartedly.. quests + starchart is what I tell all the younglings.. and I remember the time gating but was soo lost early on playing mostly solo that it was the least of my concerns, only focusing on it once I realized what it was and by that point I had 5 or 6 MR lvls banked and was gated.. now there's a big flashy graphic over your profile to lead the way...
also warframe founder here. the game in its originally state 10 years ago was basic. challenging at the same time and far less build variety. BUT now its very much a theme park game.. there will be so much thrown at you that you have no idea what to focus on.
He also mentions difficulty but once you start dealing with arbitrations as a new player as well as later content like steel path also abbreviated as SP you will need to start focusing a lot more into build depth and synergy as well as having decent weapons. then archon hunts become a thing and then netracells and then deep archimedia and elite deep archimedia etc etc. those are the end game content. as if youre il prepared it will feel like a huge difficulty spike
but yeah for alot of hours it will essentially be easy mode. difficulty comes from acquiring much needed mods or if you wanting to increase your MR (mastery rank) you will be collecting and leveling ALOT of stuff. some you keep and others you throw out. there is alot of good weapons and alot of bad "Fodder" weapons
@@iAmDiBBz to much spoiler
@@rupustre they dont care. either 'get to their level, scrub', or shut the fuck up. they think 'founder' status is such a big deal LOL 😂😂
the difficulty is picking up at about 250-300h in when you unlock the Steelpath, it is the normal Star Chart, but enemies have +100 levels to the level they have on the normal Strachart, they have +250% health, +250% armor and +250% damage. PS. keep grinding my guy
My builds are so busted not even the new Sanctum is hard in steel path, and now they are making it easier to fight enemies, because they are nerfing their armor
I love that you got hooked by Fortuna, bc that's not only where i fell in love with warframe back in Feb 2018, but also knowing that the most memorable moments i had in warframe was still several MR ahead. And the main storyline of the game doesn't even begin till around MR 5-8, so there's plenty of content and more than enough time for the difficulty to ramp up
Warframe is best played with a guide. Someone who doesn’t tell you what to do, but is there when the new player is confused. It’s a super complex game that needs a friend to be there for you
Yeah best played in a group
Joining a good Clan/Alliance definitely goes a long way. Somewhere where you can ask "Hey what's this thing?" or "Where do I get X?" and somebody will answer... and maybe even offer easier or better alternatives without getting preachy about it.
There is a Q&A chat exactly for stuff like that which iirc is the first chat a new player will see (if they look).
Ive been playing with a new player friend the past month or so. And he was really surprised over how good the game is.
His only interaction with the game in the past was some obnoxious Warframe player who bragging about "not playing meta" and supposedly "making people rage" from it because he was playing better than the guy using meta items. But regardless of that he saw how spe Warframe is and only thing i helped with was farming the resources he needed, going after certain frames, and helping modding and occasionally giving some free items that is just annoying to farm for. Like wanting a single corrupted mod out of the 12.
Complexity is in the eye of the beholder, maybe it's just that people expect to understand a thousand hour game outta the bat, not gonna happen bud.
The timegating is definitely jarring at first but eventually youll have so many hings crafting and stuff waiting to be claimed that youll completely disregard it.
Also steel path is when the game starts ramping in difficulty, unfortunately it can take hundreds of hours to get there if you arent laser focused on the star chart
I kinda like it especially when playing off and on during the work week. It's like having something to look forward to, like, "hell yeah, Saturday these shits will be done!"
@@nurgle333 completely agree.
And the time to Steel Path has even gotten longer as it is locked behind the nodes that are unlocked via the last few quests which require completion of The New War.
Though I have heard that somewhere around Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus there is a point where difficulty spikes if you haven't learned how to mod well.
@dshearwf calm down there pro gamer
True, my biggest problem now is slots not foundry timegate, 200 items to claim but no space for them.
Your delivery, respect, and overall manner for the game is invigorating to see. I myself am only about 200 hours in. Which, unfortunately still is probably only about halfway through the content. I’m always blown away by the amount of content I still find, but more so by many people’s crass attitude towards it. Most things with substance often take time, and I think you portrayed that well. I’ve never seen you before, but I plan to watch much of you in the future. (As not creepily as possible) Great job.
One of the best Warframe reviews I have seen to date. Amazing video, can't wait to see more
My stats: 3400 hours. 11 years. 53 frames, never purchased any frame or weapon with platinum. I don't trade much. Never sped up a build. Legendary rank 2. I'm the dedicated decorator in my clan. Still have lots to do!
Thank you for your service, legend o7
Thats a playtime of 1 hour and 10 minutes every single day. Assuming you're a sane person who takes a break every now and then, i'll assume you'd come out at an average playtime of 2 hours a day. Thats a lot more than the vast majority of players can afford. Of course i know you've been spending a lot of that time bulletjumping around the orbiter in region chat because we all do.
Warframe is sadly designed around wasting our time with busywork. A shame really. Cut down the grind by two third and you've got a genuinely good deal. But since the game *is* the grind, thats not an option.
Please continue the coverage, I've been in love with this game for the past 8 years
I’m glad you actually took the time to tell people about all of your ups and downs of warframe. I subbed just because I liked how you explained it and broke it down for everyone. If you make warframe content then I’d happily become an member and support that
I loved this video, Im looking forwrd to your future videos about warframe.
Great video. I have a few answers to some of the questions you’ve raised that I hope will ease you in to your next chunk of play.
Timers. Not as bad as all that unless you are in full no-life goblin mode (we’ve all been there). The strategy is to have a bunch of things cooking at one time. Throw in some sleep and a little time to touch grass (or go to work/school or whatever) and the timers melt away.
I do agree that the second frame and set of weapons should have some kind of accelerated progress to keep player momentum up a little though. (NB- there is no limit to the amount of unique items you can be building or waiting to be claimed from the foundry at any time - a lot of people assume it is one at a time, it is not, assuming you could farm them all up you could have every frame in the game cooking at once if you wanted).
Monetisation. Without making this turn into a full essay, there are layers there - discounts on plat purchases (both platform based and game based) - in game discounts on items too. Item bundles usually come at a discount and with some plat thrown in and are almost always the better value proposition.
Music. You think the Fortuna theme is good wait until you hear the OG “This is what you are”. Masterpiece and Warframe’s secret official theme song.
Progression. It’s been something like 8 years since I was where you are now and the front end of the game has changed a bit in the interim (there were no open worlds when I started). I wonder if you’re trying the harder difficulty bounties because Fortuna seems to be the stumbling point for a lot of people new to the game. Conventional wisdom is to do the bare minimum of the open worlds you need to do to get through the next Rail and progress through the star chart and coming back ready for the more challenging content the open worlds house. You should notice a hike in difficulty quite quickly.
Friends who play. They can inadvertently rob the early game of a lot of fun for you. In their eagerness to help they’re giving you the fish, not teaching you how to fish.
The frustration over the Fulmin and the associated MR requirement speaks to this - if you’re getting taxied to zones you don’t have access to yet to get resources (Plastids, Hexanon and Argon Crystals at a guess) you’re getting ahead of your own progression curve.
I also wonder how many friends are taking you into these activities are choosing frames that can keep you alive or steamrolling everything ahead of you - there’s no way an unmodded Volt is skipping merrily into Saturn and Jupiter with a base Braton and achieving anything without a carry from more built players.
It’s also not lost on me that you picked the Fulmin - my intuition tells me somebody told you to get it because it’s really good (it is) but didn’t know or forgot the MR requirement. You should be arriving at these decisions by yourself. There’s no good reason to arrive at the Fulmin before you given the Hek a thorough try too.
If you’re chasing MR (again an objective that has likely been given you by someone else) you’re going to have to level everything anyway.
Maybe find a list of weapons by MR and work from the bottom up. There are a number of weapons at the starter end of things that can be bought - fully assembled - for credits, not plat, credits.
Matchmaking. On the top left of the navigation screen (with all the planets) click on the middle square. You can switch matchmaking modes there. Sometimes you want to explore on your own. Solo also offer pause functionality.
Looking forward to the hour 40 video. Especially interested to see what your Diablo brain makes of Modding once you’ve got your teeth into it.
Hope this all makes sense.
I agree with this entire comment, and wish I could thumbs up it more than once. I've been playing for a decade, and if I took the time to write out my thoughts and advice it would be all this.
Great comment, as a new player this is helpful
You wrote everything i would have, i hope that he will see this comment
I found out wf on my own in my ps4 under free games. Played it once and stopped playing it. Didn’t understand the purpose of the game. Then a few weeks later I went back to play it and explored the game on my own. Once I found I could do quests unlock weapon bp and more wf characters, I gave myself a chance to play it a bit more. Managed to complete all quests that I had no idea it was games main lore story until a year later. I began to watch yt videos on How to…? I was able find more items and expanded my inventory in every aspect in it: characters weapons skins vehicles. I did all these things 5 years after its global release. Has been 6 years playing it now. I see myself as wf collector and not much of trader. My goal is to make my wf account a museum of old content from 10+ yrs and look back into it after a few years have gone by. Just to have something you manage to create on your over the years. Will become a beautiful piece of nostalgia over the years.
A point to add, regarding the time-gating is that it was a conscious decision like the monitisation and other aspects that are evaluated, because as we see with a lot of MMOs and Looter-shooters (looking at you Destiny) they are designed to be daily time-sinks with a lot of FOMO. Whereas DE will tell you "you've been playing for an hour, take a break" and the mastery test daily lock is another aspect of this, it's not designed to be another job the opposite in fact.
Yes, this will be annoying to someone who has the free time to slog through it, but DE saw the risks of this outweigh the benefits.
They have reduced the timers on items that need to be crafted for quest progression, so at least doing the story has less of these forced waits.
6:41 boy, what wouldn't I give to hear this song for the first time again...
I'd love to see a follow up video. Warframe has been my first game ever (got introduced to it through friends), I'm almost at 1000 hours now. It is so interesting to see how other people perceive the new player experience. Enjoy playing and exploring!
I can't wait for the video where you discover octavia and the sound bytes you can get for the frame.
My friend played as octavia, I didn't include the clip of me bouncing up and down to the beat of the Doom theme but I should have.
I've always told people that "Time is the premium currency in Warframe," because you can obtain nearly everything as long as you invest time. And while things are building, you are always able to go farm more things, you got time, you always have more things to gather.
fortuna's theme song still gets me everytime man, its so good
Love it brother, been a hard run trying to reccomend this to my friends, am glad you’ve given such a good introduction to it
DE once had a rare mod gacha for platinum for a short time. They saw how much money people spent in such short timing, they couldn't in good fairth keep something so predatory, and removed it.
I think it was DE Glenn during one of their Devstreams brought it up, talking about the system, then he started explaining it then went "Annnd we've made a slot machine." And then went on to explain that wasn't what they wanted and removed it after like a single day after I think it was one guy spent several hundred-thousand dollars on just rolling it.
That's the kind of developer integrity Warframe has. While they've gotten a bit Nerf happy on occasion when people found a particularly broken loot cave, they've gotten better about curbing their knee jerk responses, making more acceptable balancing changes, and have made farming a lot easier for certain things to make obtaining the more difficult stuff easier.
Things like the Sibear and Hema are still annoying to get as a new player but they're not outright cancerous as they once were.
rivens are still such a kuva sink tho QwQ
@@ComotoseOnAnime I dont want to be the one who's pissing into the soup, but the major factor was Europe adjusting its gambling laws in videogames around that time. DE was very good at seeing the writing on the wall and decided to earn good faith instead of waiting until the law forced their hands.
Was it a moral choice? Yes. Was it completely altruistic in nature? No.
One thing to note about warframe that I personally find enjoyable; every bit of progression is permanent! Adding that next level to a mod, crafting that warframe or weapon, putting points into a new focus school. All of it is there forever once unlocked. So while its a slow grow, its a perminant growth.
I enjoy the anticipation of finally ranking something up to its potential. It's a great reward!
Yeah that’s a good thing about Warframe, unlike Destiny 2 which resets a bunch of your stats and ranking every season that comes out. It becomes really frustrating.
@tawnybudgieisbored3709 I think they are stopping that only increasing the light level with expansions. But still, one of my frustrations about Destiny is having to grind gear every few months
Warframe has the same longevity as GW2 in terms of how much your grind is respected
I would love to see an updated video when you've gone through more of the main questline. It's one of those "i wish i could experience it for the first time again" so we tend to live out that through new players.
Fortuna is what got me into Warframe too XD. Found We all Lift Together in a meme and got drawn in just to get to it. Envy that you've experienced it organically.
If you had continued the story, Fortuna would have been a challenge. My friend asked me to play the last Fortuna starting mission just because she kept dying.
A few things, 1: after war within difficulty spikes hard, level difficulty goes from 40 to 60 within 2 planets. 2: get a necromech early, the lock on the later quests needs one. 3: the game seems always easy as you mod but trust me it easy. Every faction has weaknesses and mid to late game your have to expolt those weaknesses
No one buys platinum outside 70-90% off coupons/sales... you can earn thousands in a single day without even trying, esp if you hold onto the stuff that will inevitably be cycled out. There seems to be no cap for any of this stuff so you just wait until these things that are worth 1-2 platinum cycle out for 100+ each ... or you trade for tons of the 1-2 platinum stuff and just trade it later if you dont wanna farm even passively. Anyone whos played warframe can attest at just how much of a joke it is to get EVERY premium thing you want for little to no effort in the game and be insanely rich where you hand out hundreds of free platinum to friends at the drop of a hat. Hopefully you keep at it, the game gets more and more crazy the more time you put in... wont spoil anything but the game does NOT front load anything lol... some core features of other games wont open up till 50-200 hours in minimum... and it will be worth the wait cause its done so amazing!!!
Then how do you guys support the game? Like one thing that has always impressed me about Warframe is the sheer amount of content it has. It cannot be cheap to make and maintain a game like this while making a profit so you can make other games. How does the community support the devs?
Well, every single plat comes from game store. Its not like players dont buy them at all - but that market system gives every player involved a fair share, which is great.
@@ajwaddanwarr3409 The platinum outside of sales is there for the people that absolute have no patience, or don't have the time to grind everything they need. That said, there's a lot of people who play warframe, and often you can leverage your platinum to get more, so those still sell. However, the main time people buy platinum is Prime access, and the platinum coupons; which offer a lot more bang for your buck.
I assume the best seller is Prime access because it offers the newest prime warframe and other bonuses, alongside platinum; all of which for less than the cost of the same amount of platinum on the store by itself.
Whales
@@ajwaddanwarr3409buy prime access because you want to support the devs and your favorite frame is primed. The game is basically entirely funded on the thought that if the players feel like they're being treated well, they'll give the devs money. Just not through platinum packages without coupons xD
The moment that really stuck me to warframe forever was a quest called “the new war”. I won’t say any more or spoil anything, but yeah, wow, what a masterpiece.
The new war is probably my favorite quest in the whole game, next to the duviri paradox. Excellent story, god teir gameplay, both are excellent experiences.
Just grinded out my mech and now I need to level it up along with the RJ and will be starting it soon.
The New War is literally the worst part of Warframe, where DE just fucking destroyed everything good that they've been building up to this point, wtf are you on about.
Rebecca literally had to recollect the game from shambles for it to be good again.
@@CaptainBloodRaven Playing the New War felt like watching the second season of a show you've really enjoyed so far, but instead of watching all of it, you're skipping every second episode and playing something else during those episodes you actually do watch.
Its bizarre. Never experienced so many jumpcuts in a piece of media before.
@@CaptainBloodRaven It was so bad that DE briefly considered adding the ability to pay to skip it.
Playing through the Second Dream quest ( DON'T SPOIL yourself on this) on release, which was 2015, is one of the most memorable gaming experiences I've ever had and I've played a lot games. It cemented my love for this game and even though I don't play it anywhere near as much as I used to it will forever be the greatest f2p game I've ever played and I consider it probably the best of them. It goes above and beyond what many AAA studios have been giving us for the past 10 years. It's not perfect and has had it's issues over the years but DE made something incredibly special with this game.
The major quests in Warframe are some of the most memorable experiences I've had in games
I'm loving the fact you started warframe. To comment on your difficulty issue, you just haven't gotten there yet. Once you reach a certain point in the game, you WILL absolutely feel the impact of your build crafting.
Is this actually true? I'm at the same point as this guy. I used to play path of exile so I understand the idea of an easy campaign with a few dmg checks. But I really enjoy being forced to master all parts of my character, and some people say that Warframe is not the kind of game to push you in that way even on steel path. That worries me.
@@DieGrotsky yes, it's very true in multiple aspects of the game. Steel path is a decent example. It's just the star chart again but EVERYTHING is so much more tough. Gotta have a solid build and chemistry with your weapons and frame. High level missions and survivals are the easiest for you to do, just hop into a survival and stay long enough and I promise you'll get overwhelmed. There's more than that but I don't wanna spoil anything.
@@AdamFireEyes Thanks for the reply! I'll be patient then. Really blown away by the game in other aspects, just finding it way too easy so far. Just finished the intro quests on Cambion Drift and finding out the day/night cycle consists of two gigantic wyrms fighting in the sky was incredible. It's weird how underrated this game is for its story and universe.
@@DieGrotsky You are welcome 🙂 Cambian Drift is where I've spent most of my open world time, it's my favorite. And that fight between the two wyrms is super exciting the first time you see it.
The first chunk of the game makes you feel like an unstoppable god. The end game makes you genuinely proud of yourself because you know you can die super quickly but you've mastered building, movement, weapons, etc. You'll get there, just keep playing.
Yup, told another UA-camr who started their Warframe journey that there will be a point that you will have to sit down and actually learn how to mod and learn enemy weaknesses.
Although I have noticed how much easier DE seems to have made normal Warframe, specifically for solo players like myself. Noticed it specifically in Survival missions where ad density feels very… barren. Like I have to go into a Steel Path survival to actually get any ad density now as a solo player.
And for a daily reward you can sometimes even get like 50 or 75% off purchasing plat which makes 1000 plat worth buying
One year I got a bunch of -75% coupons and also bought some Prime Access and at one point I had like 40k platinum. It's gotten to the point where I'll sometimes buy things from other players _above market value_ just because. If they were selling, I was buying.
Except rivens. To hell with those. I'm so glad that nothing is balanced around having rivens.
@@SageRuffin except incarnons lmfao
If you dont play for 3-4 days you will guarantee receive a 50 75 off
The game expects you to exclusively purchase platinum with a 50% and upwards discount. Everything in the store is priced around that expectation.
Dude, everytime i hear the music on Fortuna it gives me chills 😄
i wish i could experience warframe again, the wonders of just discovering stuff, seeing your stuff getting better etc.
6k hours in the game and it makes me wonder when the game will make me feel like i'm in danger again
On the monetization, people rarely ever buy plat outright, especially at full price. Daily login rewards sometimes give you platinum discounts, from 20%-75% off, and that's the only time I ever buy platinum. On top of that, you can actually acquire platinum without ever spending a dime on Warframe because of player trading.
I buy plat every time I get a 75 😂
@@Salmon_Toastie I started playing WF two weeks ago and on my fifth day, I tried purchasing a mod from another player. I didn't know I couldn't use the starting plat to trade. The next day when I logged in I had a -75% off plat purchase coupon login reward. Coincidence? I think not!
@@kardnails8729 The only factor in how often you get platinum discounts is how often you have used them in the past. I think a regular spender gets around 1-1.5x the amount of discounts as a non-spender.
Please PLEASE post another update after you catch up on some of the most impactful story quests! I'd love to hear your reaction to where the story goes, and how it ties into the evolution of gameplay.
The first thing you do when you get to Fortuna is get your K-Drive (Hover Board) which can be used in any open world, you can also use your Arch-Wing. But first you need to craft the segment.
Thanks for the fascinating insight into warframe! I've played since 2013, so I have some difficulty understanding what its like to be new in warframe, and reactions like this really help me to understand how warframe is to new(er) players.
Two nitpicks: Warframe isn't first person. If Warframe was first person everyone would be vomiting, constantly.
And if you're buying platinum, you're playing the game wrong. Welcome to the war, Tenno.
But I got so much content that I like to throw them a couple shekels every now and again. But bring on Vomit City
but those 80% plat discounts be hittin' from time to time lmao
if people didn't buy platinum, you wouldn't be playing this game for so long. There is nothing wrong with throwing the devs some money when you get to play it for free.
Someone needs to buy the platinum for you to get the platinum.
@@Sekhatt Correct! However, there are many ways for people to buy it discounted. There's 50-90% off coupons you can just get when logging in some days (more common after logging back in after a short break), and many bundles include platinum like the "Prime Access" bundles which people mostly buy for the included prime warframe, accessories, weapons etc.
You might have misunderstood the "time gating"of the foundry and the Rank systems; it's in place to force you to explore the game, to force you to do something else like fishing, hunting, getting reputation, opening relics, farming materials (which most of them are NOT tradable), scanning objectives, practicing and learn mission mechanics (Spy), etc. Also they want to avoid the leveling farms that some other MMOs have, where you can buy a fully leveled account with ease.
I have been playing on and off since April 14th of 2013 and I've seen a lot of the changes that the game has gone thru. Yes, the learning curve is not easy, but that's why you want to take your time and actually enjoy the game.
I’m barely able to pay attention to the vid, idk why. but I’ve watched 100s of UA-camrs and have had years worth of conversation experience but this guy talks so good😭🙏
cant wait to hear more of warframe, especially opinions after major cinematic quests
Get to the quests. Specificly the second dream. That's when it gets real.
I feel like some people overhype the second dream a bit much. It for sure is up there when it comes to story quests for free to play standards, but I feel we need to understand that the Second Dream will not hit as emotionally hard to a new player now, then it did for us when it first dropped.
We had multiple years invested in Warframe before we even got Second Dream. Having that history with a game will make a story have way more impact. A new player just starting Warframe and maybe just a week in when they get to Second Dream, will be like, "oh that's interesting...neat quest." Then they move on.
@@lilfuzzballa Beelining for it is a bad idea, imho. I was about 200h in, having played at my own pace, and the quest uses that sense of feeling comfortable within the game to pull the rug from under your feet.
@@nicolasferreiro4492 yeah and even that moment for you is still just a fraction of how players felt back in 2016. We are talking a fan base that have been steadily playing for 2-3 years. You become so much more emotionally attached to the world and characters with that much time. Then when they drop that on you, it's almost life changing.
But I feel a lot of vets still think it will be life changing to new players as well. So they hype it up too much and get the expectations up way more than they should, and potentially making the new player a bit more on the disappointed side when they realize it wasn't this 15/10 experience like they made it seem.
@@lilfuzzballa spot on. Second dream isn't that amazing in terms of a quest or story telling as everyone hypes it up to be, but it does send a game and your experience of it on a different path, and you can't even compare the impact it had on players after 3 years of playing the game and getting to that point, and players today.. especially since it was the "first actual story quest" ... also everyone's pretty much seen the drifter/operator already.. so yeah.. I 100% agree. I think many original players don't actually hype up the SD as much as so called cultist fanatics of warframe. I wanna say that they are the vocal minority, but I'm pretty sure it's like at least half, if not even more of the playerbase....
@@lilfuzzballayeah everyone hypes it up I get to it and finish it and I’m just like welp that was it? These people only liked the quest because they played for so long with no real backstory and so expanding on that was fun to them but how it is now it’s just any other quest and there’s nothing special about it. Everyone back then loved it because it gave them more lore as well as content but again for he new players it’s just meh.
I’d love to see more content on this game from you, especially regarding how your experience changes the longer you play, and your opinions on the stories evolving narrative.
One insight I’d give into the monetisation of Warframe is that the majority of money DE makes comes from platinum purchases with discounts, direct purchases of Tennogen cosmetics, and prime access purchases. The endgame of Warframe is essentially making your Warframe’s look as cool as possible and operate as effectively as possible I.e. Fashionframe
Edit: Also, regarding the time gating, it becomes far less of an issue the further you get into the game. With crafting in particular, you’ll be making so many weapons, warframes and items that you won’t really feel the delays at all. I’m currently sitting on 133 items unclaimed in my foundry because I just can’t find time to use them all. The only delay that’s a real issue is the standing limits which can definitely be a bit frustrating, but with the amount of different factions you’ll be encountering it’ll be near impossible to cap out your standing limits for all of them anyway.
was nice to hear the game is still in verry good shape, played it a long time ago, when i was around 14/15. just about 180h but still enjoyed them. I think back then i didnt rly understand the crafing or saw the need to grind a lot, but your vid made me download it again even if its just for some good old quests.
Been playing since 2018! I am thrilled you had this experience. Your evaluation is perfectly accurate, and I can't wait to see what you think of mid and maybe even late game content. Truly a sauce one can get lost in.
Fun one. Early on they discovered they had to monetize to keep the lights on, so they worked with the community to make the monetization system in general. And they adjust the system if things went off rails.
Also the Tennogen items are user made,and those users get a reasonable cut too.
Lastly, you can trade premium currency too.
Lastly. Make sure you got the headphones on and lights off for the Chains of Harrow
I don't know if it's still true, but early on, a Tennogen skin would make a freelance 3D artist more profit than a job as an artist in the industry. Nowadays there's a lot of items, so the pool is more diluted, but.
"We all lift" song still gives me goosebumps. I love warframe but I don't think it's for everyone, but if you haven't tried it, it's worth a try. There really isn't any true end game, and there won't ever be and that's fine. As you play more, more things open up but if you don't like the core of the game you won't like the late game of it. It's just more of the same thing. It's more of a variety is the spice of life game. Warframe is the type of game you play when you are watching something or listening to music.
I totally disagree. I think the game opens up way more after the second dream quest. That's when I went from really enjoying the game to falling in love with it
@@AnthonyLopez-cc9nf What exactly did you disagree with? Were you not a fan of the core game until after the second dream?
Dude I rarely leave comments on ytb videos but I loved you video
I’m a Warframe player myself and found your video so well written that it really does resume the love I have to this game
Glad you enjoyed it!
i subscribed for the journey, I'm looking forward to see how your opinion changes as you progress
One piece of advice about the Foundry that a lot of people doesn't realise if not being told about. You can craft A LOT of things at the same time there (not sure if there's actually a limit but if there's one it's like really high) and once something is finished, you can leave that item there for whatever long you need, thus not occupying your limited and precious weapon/Warframe slots.
That means for example that you can craft every component for a Warframe/weapon at the same time. Yes, you have to wait anyways but I know people that didn't know this and just build the parts one by one and it obviously became boring quickly (imagine spending 36 hours to forge three 12 hour Warframe components 😅)
And, as others have already said regarding the difficulty level of the game, you just have to think about reaching The Steel Path (completing for the first time the whole Stellar Map aka your mission progression through the planets) as completing any other arpg campaign for the first time, unlocking the endgame and further and harder difficulty modes. Enjoy feeling like a god among insects... while you can 😝
Man, do I really wish I could queue up builds, though. I'm fine with Forma taking a day to build, if I can set it so I build a week's worth without having to come back and claim each one. Or building those dang alloys and gems which take a minute but I have to hover over the foundry if I need three in a row of the same one.
@@Joe90h That's what the mobile app is for. You can build from there without logging in.
@@xanosdarkpaw1 I didn't even know there was a mobile app for the foundry, what's it called?
@@channelhasbeensuspended3986 warframe companion app
@@channelhasbeensuspended3986 warframe mobile companion app on your phones app store
Fun fact, the "time gating" is in place to prompt players to take a break to eat or drink something or play something else for a while, the timer of the foundery still continues to progress even if the game isn't currently running. Moast players miss that last part.
4 Days = 264 Likes. Holy Clem!
"This comment sponsored by digital extremes" gave me a good chuckle, thanks @devilfork1
it also helps prevent you from just slashing through the entire game. like you get to see so many of the smaller pieces of it that most people miss @~@
Im surprised people dont know this. But im a long time player so its good that youve said this in reguards to progress on building not stopping once u log off. Theres also even a app for your phone that lets you log in to claim foundry items or craft things while your AFK.
It's quite an interesting thing, cause even with the time gating and locking MR rank up to a timer (24h to re-rank or to re-try) you can still achieve something like MR13 in 12 days from the beginning of your journey, information is the key to achieve it, going blind in warframe was always something difficult... yet it is simpler today and well covered.
An 84 hour timer to get a new “character” isn’t the same as a friendly reminder to take a break.
That first time seeing that a weapon takes 12 hours, and a warframe takes an additional three days feels like the ultimate betrayal. Like “I just spent the last few hours playing your game to be able to craft this, and you’re withholding it from me?! For THREE DAYS????”
The longer you play the less the timer matters, I have like 7 prime frames sitting in my foundry waiting for me to play them. But for a new player who maxed all their current equipment, and had to farm for the crafting materials because they don’t have a huge stockpile yet, that timer is a gut punch. It feels like the game is spitting on those efforts.
For any new players in this situation, where you’ve leveled your weapons and frame and can’t continue leveling your mastery rank, do this.
Go to your arsenal, pick a weapon slot primary/secondary/melee, and scroll through the shown weapons. All of them can be bought with Plat, the premium currency, but a decent amount of them can be purchased ALREADY CRAFTED for just credits. They’re all low end early game weapons that you can use while you start farming and crafting other weapons.
Always try to keep some weapons crafting. If you run out of blueprints, go to the market at the front of your orbiter. On the weapons tab choose primary/secondary/melee, any of them. The top left has a few different symbols under the search bar that you can hover over to read. One of them is “Hide items without blueprints”. If you toggle it on, the market will now only show weapons you can buy the blueprint for with credits. These weapons still have to be built, but once you click on one you can hover over the “buy blueprint” button to see what materials that weapon requires.
You are right and wrong about "patience" in Warframe.
You are right, that in the first 20-30 hours, it sucks to wait 12, 24 or 72 hours to get your hands on new toys.
You just have to put the game away and wait. I get that. (the game is free, btw)
OR! You can look at this from another, and imo, proper perspective.
This game is massive. It was small in closed and early open beta in 2013. But then in grew very rapidly. Each two weeks there was some new stuff - couple of weapons, new mission, new warframe etc.
You just start to craft whatever you have "ready to craft" in you foundry... and go do other stuff in the game.
Stop for the day and return tomorrow.
Oh, cool! New gun. - put something new in the foundry - return tomorrow.
Oh, cool! New frame. - put something new in the foundry - return tomorrow.
Sooner than later you will be drown in things "ready to claim".
You will do it for the mastery rank, you will do it for the stuff you actually want to try and to use.
Every day, for a long time, you will have something new to try.
It is about the journey, not about "I spend 50 hours, I want to "Complete" the game".
And then you realize, that you spent 1 000 hours in the game.
P.S. I have 5,5k hours in Warframe. And yes, good stuff in Warframe starts at 100+ hours. - Sigh -
P.P.S Regarding difficulty - try to do long endurance runs on any endless mission and also wait till you get to Steel path and some other, very late in the game, activities. You can still crush them, if you know what you're doing, but not as a newer player, without good arsenal and understanding for the game. Warframe is not about difficulty, it is about fun.
I hope you'll continue to play the game for a while longer. Seeing new players first impressions of the Cinematic Quests, most importantly the Second Dream is absolutely priceless.
I would really like a series of you playing or telling your experience of playing it
Welcome, Tenno.
warframe is like fren who will always be there when you lost, or you need someone to come back to, and when you 'done' having fun and start to get bored, he part with you with his biggest smile
and middle finger
I have been playing for years and and really enjoyed your take on the game. It reminds me of how I felt when I was first starting I would definitely love to see more of what you think of warframe as you get more into the game
One thing I love about Warframe is that the community is insane kind and welcoming to new players, for example I’m new and I needed platinum and a veteran player traded my 20 platinum for a mod I had like 18 of. (Amazing game and I can’t stop playing)
Very good review, I just want to emphasize one thing: I have never met anyone who has ever
I bought platinum just to accelerate in the foundry, in early game you will only have two or three items in the foundry but very soon you will have dozens of weapons and a few warframes and you won't feel the pressure to speed up anything.
Now i better see a video after you complete cinematic quests and how you will see the game after, welcome aboard Tenno.
Going through the game as a new player is always super interesting to me, because youre not just playing the game as a progression through the solar system, but also a progression through time. Quite literally going through the game update by update over the last 11 years, condensed into a couple weeks or months.
please keep making this content! It seems nostalgic, but very new to me. Keep it up.
the game needs a tutorial quest where you build a warframe and a weapon for sure
Warframe has been my goto since 2013. Its been wild how much the game has changed and from the looks of it, plenty more to come. From what youve mentioned so far, youre definitely at the beginning and have so much to look forward to. Hopefully no one has told you about what's up next on your path, good luck n have fun. The game is an absolute monster.
The Star Chart is the Tutorial. I have spoken.
TBH, most people dont even really know most things after 200 hours, but thats the cool Thing. When u come to arcanes, different mod builds, - dmg. steelpath,hour long survival missions. zariman, incarnon weapons, eidolon hunts and so on you will notice that this game has nearly infinite things to do and the more u grind the more fun it gets. Join a Clan and so on...
Over 1600 hours and still come back from time to time. One of the good ones
12:00 oh sonny boy, wait until you find out about Steel Path...
Oh man, PLEASE do a series on the story once you get there.
You're going to LOVE it.
Every time I overcome the current difficulty curve of the game I stop playing then a new update drops and more difficulty becomes available. Its quite fun to hit those difficulty walls honestly. The build crafting becomes absolutely insane later.
Request: Follow-up video/series on your play-through week by week!
Also if you want to, you can que "solo" or "friends only" to avoid getting high levels thrown in just smashing things. If I don't have a friend or friends I am playing with I almost always play matchmade but just wanted to put this out there.
I just started playing Warframe two weeks ago. I love this game! I had zero expectations and when I got to the "We all lift" cinematic I was blown away. I also freaking love the login-screen-music, sometimes I just sit at the login for minutes :) I kinda like the time gating stuff tho, like when you order stuff online and get to wait with excitement for a couple of days.
i have been playing warframe for many years now and I can confirm that this video explains well about the game for new players, of what the game is about and how it progresses. I love this game, when i started I loved the open world and the complex interconnected systems in the game. And the fact that it is rewarding and you can get most of the stuff just by playing the game without spending money. Also the customizations of the frames. All this with great graphics and amazinggggg story line as well. I think this is the best combination for a free-to-play game, JUST AWSOME!!!!.
Adding on, for beginners this game is as big and complex as it is, people feel lost and just quit the game. I personally didn't really like the complexity of this game but with the good graphic, customization and the fact that this game is soo rewarding helped me continue, AND USE UA-cam FOR ANYTIME YOU ARE STUCK, THERE IS EVERYTHING ON UA-cam FROM WHERE TO FARM MATERIALS TO FARMING ALL THE FRAMES. Good luck New Tennos !!.
trust me, i thought the game was too easy when i started too. boy was i wrong. keep pushing through, and you'll definitely get the challenge you wanted. also, the junctions are pretty easy until you get to about the jupiter one. that's when you'll feel the difficulty jump. I've been playing for quite a while and have unlocked all planets, and i havent spent a dime. I'd say this game is pretty good.
If you want more of a challenge, do a survival mission solo for as long as you can. Enemies scale up gradually through that mission, and eventually you'll reach a point where they begin to overwhelm you. Notice what level that is, and use that to gauge your own power level and work on surpassing that.
Instructions unclear, I have been in this survival for 7 days and I am still one shotting enemies
@@quelqunderandom6143 That'll happen, give it a few more days Tenno
Are there early disruption missions? I don't remember if they added any early-planet nodes for it, but you save far more time than the slow ramp in survival.
@@nebvbn4504 earliest one I think is Mars
@@nebvbn4504 also, survival ramps up very fast once you've been in for like 1h15 minutes. You often reach levelcap in low level survivals by 2h30/2h40
"warframe is like an onion if you peel it wrong it will make you cry" as someone who played this game for years this is the most spot on statement about this game ive heared from a new player
generally agree with most things.
sadly the difficulty doesnt get much better warframe is simply not a challenging game if you keep building your stuff.
the movement is probably the greatest part and what really keeps me playing after all these years
warframe has forever ruined any third person game for me if i cant fly around the map like i can here it simply feels wrong to me.
I view the time gating when crafting as a habit builder. It encourages you to log into the game tomorrow and play for a bit to try out your new toy. While you try out that toy, you get closer to getting another toy so you play longer until you can craft that toy, which then encourages you to log in again the next day to try it out. The cycle just keeps going.
I recently introduced a friend to the game and he really started to get into the swing of things at hour 100. I’d love to see how far you make it
I would literally pay to see you keep doing videos about this game after every 20+ hours of play. As a veteran player, I'm also willing to offer my help if you want any tips or just a consistent ally to help you out with things.
One great thing with Warframe is its login bonuses. I was considering buying some Plat as a way to support the game. Eventually, I got a 75% off coupon and that sealed it. I purchased a normally $200 pack full of plat and other items, including a special frame. I haven't had to spend more since, so pretty satisfying.
