Warframe...Rant...Update

So, I wanted to make a little bit of an update to my last post which was a very large rant about the video game Warframe. This is because I had a friend spend a few hours with me on the game giving me some pointers and helping me with some missions that I was stuck on like the very last assassination mission on Demios, I was stuck on that for so long because I couldn't do it alone and could never find or drag any groups of randoms there to help me.

Anyway, one of the things that my friend told me about was this thing called bullet jumping. Yes, I am sure that it may sound stupid that I had not picked up on this technique being like 40 hours into the game but, I didn't. What I had been doing up until this point was repeatedly sprinting and then sliding. I didn't even think to add a jump after the slide. So, I practiced that and then I, on my own realized that I could sprint, slide, jump, slide again, jump again and just repeat that to cover even more ground faster so I keep on practicing that and am getting a little better.

Something else that is positive is that I took it upon myself to go out and look at build information. Not only for my Warframe, Excalibur, but also for my Boltor, Seer and Exalted Blade. Now, there really isn't all that much I can do because I don't have the mods that the builds I found and like, at least, not yet. Like, the foundation is there but there is more to go but it's a nudge in the right direction for me.

A little bit of good and not so good here is that I finally got the Archwing built because I finally got some neurodes from the several hours I spent doing Void Fissures and cracking open all my void relics. The not so good is that I now realize that I am not a fan of any of the missions that involve using the Archwing. I especially HATE the rush missions because I just get turned around a lost a little to easily.

I still HATE Hijack missions with a passion so nothing has really changed there. I've not gone back to the Heart of Demios story questline because from what I read, one needs to be MR6 or higher to even have a chance at the double boss thing I am stuck on.

Now, to get more into complaint terrority here. One thing that I find very fucking dumb with Warframe is the over reliance on the microtransaction, specifically geared toward the in game currency of silver. I say this because I recently had this thought of doing a recolor of my Warframe and weapons. I wanted to do a simple black and blue when I realized that...I don't have a basic black. Like, I have a single strip of colors that have like two reds, one orange two blues, some purples, like maybe one green and three whites and that is it. My question is this. WHY IS THERE NO WAY TO EARN NEW COLORS THROUGH FUCKING REGULAR GAMEPLAY???? Before I go into my example, no, Warframe isn't an MMO and yes, I know that. But, the two MMOs I enjoy playing, Guild Wars 2 and The Elder Scrolls Online, not only do they give you a decent amount of dye colors to work with when you start the game, but you can also unlock even more dye colors by doing regular gameplay stuff. Why the fuck are color palettes in Warframe only obtainable by spending 75 silver on them? WHY CAN'T INDIVIDUAL COLORS BE UNLOCKED THROUGH GAMEPLAY!!!! It really would not have been all that complicated for the Warframe developers to have something like this but, no, it's all about getting that money from people buying silver.

The very last thing here is that I don't understand drop rates in this game at all. I spent some time on Cetus doing one specific type of bounty because of the chance for the Gara chassis blueprint to drop. Now, I never got it to drop so I looked on the wiki and it's graph is really confusing to me. Like, there a section of the graph where it said that it would guarantee to drop 88 plus 29 stages and says something about stage 2/A, B and/or C and I have no idea what the hell the A, B & C mean here. Someone else I know said those mean rotations but what the defines when a rotation starts and ends? These bounties only have three individual stages. The first is locating and taking over a drone, the second is to find some caches and the third is to find and defend the vault and that's it. So, where does a rotation start within those individual stages? I have NO idea! I don't think anyone knows, even if they say they know something about drop rates in Warframe. That same person told me that the 88 is the highest amount of times that one can attempt the bounty and not that I'd have to do the bounty 88 times for the thing to be guaranteed to drop. I still don't know or understand the drop rate graph but I think it just comes down to doing the bounty over and over and over and oooooooovvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr until I get that chassis piece. Then, do it all again for the system and neuroptics because I really want to try out and level up a new Warframe.

Also, I've had like one positive interation with randoms since my last post but, I still believe that Warframe's community are a bunch of toxic assholes.

Btw, if anyone that commented on my last post about Warframe that offered up help, my name is Warframe in Bellasar, same as it is here. Feel free to send a friend request, assuming it lets you and there's no technical problems there. If not, let me know on this post your name in Warframe and I'll send you a friend request.

Prowlbee in an a.u. where Bee's father is a decepticon, but his personality is Lucifer from Hazbin Hotel.

He shows up to visit, and everyone questions how that guy is a decepticon.

Even better- Bee's father is a literal god of chaos and destruction.

This is a good opportunity to say that i will be separating the "Unicron and Primus are Bee's parents" AU from the Crack AU. (new au and tag is #god-sparkling au)

SO- to summarize: Unicron is a spirit of Earth and Primus is a spirit of Cybertron and they can materialize into transformers to interact with stuff. Bee is their Sparkling from the time they were a loving couple (now they are divorced per se). He grew up on Cybertron with guidance of his Sire (Primus) and now is living on Earth where he has fun with his Papa (Unicron).

So i had multiple takes on how they would meet. I actually think it would happen in one of the first fights when cons fight with the bots over something and Megs hurts Bee.

They all just hear a screech/roar in the close distance seconds after Megs punched Bee real hard. Megs carries on with his evil speech to the Prime and the next moment he is hit by a mining dump truck going full speed. Then said dump truck starts to shift and tadah- this ginormous bot twice the size of Megatron pops out and he is manhandling that chopper like nothing. The cons (Megatron) barely manages to run away, the moment the autobots think he's gonna wreck more chaos and possibly try to kill them he only shouts after the flyers "AND DON'T YOU DARE HURT MY SPARKLING EVER AGAIN!!".

This was both confusing and concerning. Bee goes running to that obviously dangerous bot and-- wait, why are they hugging?

So turns out this colossal fucker is itty bitty Bee's creator.

Now you'd think he'd be rowdy, aggressive and cause trouble on every occasion. But nah, this guy is smitten over his little kid, kinda like a doberman over a tiny baby. All scary but gentle. He's also cheery and loves to joke around and he will help out anyone if his sparkling asks him to. Parenthood completely changed this guy- at least when he's out in public or with his sparkling.

I haven't seen Hazbin Hotel, I only watch Helluva Boss, but I've seen some shorts about it.

I suppose Prowl would be definitely intimidated because holy fuck that is Bee's creator and he just threw Megatron like a ball across the field. Unis (Unicron's alias) is very happy that his kid got himself someone to love. Prowl hates to admit it but he's kind of questioning whether his relationship with Bee was a good idea, he still sticks with it in the end tho.

Everyone else is just as confused since Unis claims to be the most cruel and destructive warrior in the entire universe and here he is playing with Sari and Bee so gently and carefully, he never gives anything a scrach from his big claws or spike-like armor pieces.

ALTERNATIVELY (and maybe what you wanted in the first place)- Bee still has a Sire but he's not a giant godly being but instead a sleek warframe with a monsterstuck alt (a little taller than Optimus and Bulkhead).

So one time Team Prime gets a Decepticon signal on the outskirts near some abandoned facility and goes there expecting to find Megs and his minions. They spread out to get them from both sides but...

Well, they did stumble upon a Decepticon, one with awfully familiar features in fact, but that one didn't really behave like a Decepticon... He apologized for making a mess cuz he tripped and knocked down some tiny silos when they scared him and was very awkward and asking if they could maybe help him out. He strongly denied wanting to fight them even.

Then Bee came out of the bushes with Ratchet and the two bots with horns locked optics for a single second before running and hugging each other all happy.

So turns out this stray Decepticon they tracked down was Bee's Sire.

Let's name him... Dragonfly. He was a Decepticon, one of the higher ranking ones in fact, but not partaking in any business with the war surprisingly. He was a single parent and had Bee on a neutral colony, when Bee was old enough he helped his kid to get on a ship heading to Cybertron to work and secretly help his Sire out a bit on the colony. He and Bee couldn't communicate often, he didn't know Bee and his crew had gone missing but Bee had gone without replying to any of his messages for the longest time so he knew something must have happened to his bitlet. Worried and slightly paranoid he got into his camouflaged ship and went from place to place looking for him. He was spotted by the Elite Guard's ship and shot down when he neared Earth and now he was kind of stranded until his ship is fixed.

He was very nice and polite unlike the Decepticons all of the Autobots usually met. He even took a liking to the organics and Sari when she visited the next day- she accidentally mistook the new bot for Bee cuz they looked so similar. When she learned that this was Bee's dad she was hella excited tho. When Bee introduced Prowl as his sparkmate he was surprised but very pleased that his little bitlet found love. Oddly enough, he seemed very leaning into the idea of Prowl eventually becoming part of the family.

Despite being a Decepticon, Dragonfly didn't really interacted with either of the sides unless necessary. He wasn't very happy to hear that Megatron and his troops also reside on this planet, more so when his bitty is an autobot and fighting them. He deemed it the best option to just hide and don't interact with the Decepticons here, Megatron had respect for him but Dragonfly knew he would use this for his advantage if he learned Bee was his Sparkling. He's also not happy to hear Optimus boss Bee around for dangerous missions and solo escapades. He's even more upset that this low rank is bossing around a repair crew to fight with trained war soldiers instead of calling backup from the Elite Guard. At one point he confronts him about it and states that he will not let Bee go on any of the dangerous missions and fights to potentially die and that he is incompetent for making an untrained group fight a war. So what if you have field experience and a war vet on the team? They are still untrained and not ready to fight what Megatron has in store.

Optimus hated being a low ranking Prime and did not want to sit there useless when the threat was knocking at their door. But with what Dragonfly said it might have been time he made peace with the fact where he belongs now...

And so, Team Prime becomes more neutral to the Decepticons roaming out and about (outside for the threat of human villains, Optimus refuses to leave the humankind endangered by them) and lets the Elite Guard handle most of the calls, only times they are forced to assist is when an Allspark Shard appears.

Going back to Bee and Dragonfly- Dragonfly stayed on Earth a while after Team Prime fixed his ship to make sure everything was fine. He gave a communicator to his Sparkling to call him undercover at any time, they speak to each other every week. Team Prime still doesn't know why such a kind and nice mech is a Decepticon but Bee is happy and that's all that matters. They may also gotten a tad nicer towards Bee cuz a Decepticon is still a Decepticon, and with the role Bee's sire plays it would end really bad for them if they hurt him.

Welp, you got 2 versions of the same ask, one of them surely was what you wanted so yeh. Thank you for the ask!

HI HI... it's Leolithe here! FINALLY INTERACTING. I see you in the notes of my Lotus posts and i am DEATHLY curious to know your opinions on the Lotus system! Both as characters in general and also what you'd love and/or hate to see in their story. The idea of a Sentient AI mimic who is a system is so incredible to me, but I wonder if there's anything about Natah, Lotus or Margulis you would change?

Also, how many of you have played Warframe? Has everyone tried it or is it just not everyone's cup of tea? Should I direct my questions to specific people in the system? I'd love to hear more Lotus thoughts!! :3

Before we respond, here's a message from Rokoko:

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOUR ART IS SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOD AND YOURE SO RIGHT ABOUT THE LOTUS OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG AAAAAAAAAAAAH 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃

Now, to answer your questions. I'll start with the last ones.

We've all played Warframe, and each have found something to enjoy in it.

We used to play it on the Switch, long before we found out we're we. Eventually stopped for reasons I can't remember. Probably because it was Warframe on the Switch. Lmao.

Recently ported our account to PC, which has been nice. Caught up on everything, so now we're just taking turns making frames and enjoying the loop. Learning how to mod. Deep in the grind. Ignoring rivens cause they scare us. The usual, I'm sure. Lmao.

Asking specific members for their opinions is fine. Just will take longer to get answered. Unless you're lucky. We can't really control who fronts, unfortunately. But you can still do it, if you're curious about one of us. They'll definitely appreciate the attention. Probably. Lmao.

On the Lotus, we absolutely love her. Love all three of them.

Zero loves Lotus and Natah the most. She's an AI, so she relates to their struggles, but we are all enamored with them.

Marguils' resolve, Natah's tenacity, Lotus' deducation. Their histories with Ballas. Their histories with the Orokin in general. Their histories with eachother. With Marguils' memory, her legacy, before she came back. Their love for the Tenno. Their children. Their dedication to protecting the origin system.

All three are amazing. Their plurality is very interesting, originally being a synthetic mimic with two different sets of memories in them. Eventually culminating in three different entities in one. It's unique and engaging.

Our favorite characters in Warframe, to be sure. They're amazing.

We'd love to seem their plurality be more noticable, in the future. We're all in on them being plural, but it is admittedly easy to miss. A line of dialogue unheard, a helmet left uninteracted, a line of text left unread, and you're probably not gonna know they're plural. We want them to start bickering during a mission. We want Lotus to be explaining something, ony the go silent for a time, then for Natah or Marguils to take over. We want some way to talk to them outside of missions, for character moments.

I don't know how likely any of these will be, personally. But we'd like to see them.

That's also what we'd change, honestly. The inability to change between the three was annoying, so we'd remove that from The New War. Or add a fourth option of "take turns". We want to see them interact. We want a blatenly in-your-face system.

We'd hate for Natah and Marguils to be forgotten, eventaully. For Lotus to be considered the default. For some convoluted story beat to fuse them all into one mind, as is annoyingly common in system stories. Since that's the only good end singlets can imagine for a system. Natah and Marguils getting forgotten would be disappointing and annoying, but if they all fused into one we'd probably drop Warframe immediately.

Hope these answers are good @leolithe. Don't know if I did a good job of expressing our love for this system but, we do truly love them. Thank you for the question.

Quick question(s) for ya! Do you play destiny? If yes what are your thoughts on lightfall/the state of the game currently? :)

I haven't played since "Beyond Light". I think the game has very solid gunplay and very cool art and world design, but I don't really get a whole lot out of most live service games 99% of the time.

I was always kind of let down by the fact that there wasn't much in the way of interesting & varied build-crafting, though it sounds like they maybe addressed that in the most recent expansion & also the upcoming one, so that's cool.

I get the urge to pick it back up again sometimes, but I don't know if the amount of time I'd want to put into it would warrant the price tag of New Expansion and Multiple Seasons That Go Away and More Battle Pass Bullshit. I hate battlepass stuff. I think the only games where I enjoyed a battlepass system were "Deep Rock Galactic" and "Warframe" and 90% of that is because they explicitly go "yeah all the rewards on here just become normal rewards you can earn once the pass ends", and that feels more like "I tolerate it" than "I like it". It's a fun engine to stomp around in & do Gun Powers in, though, so the temptation's still there.

Anyways I get most of my joy out of "Destiny" nowadays by watching recordings of all the narrative bits & talking about it with friends who actively play & reading stuff on the Ishtar Collective site. That or I imagine Mithrax or Saint-14 or Mara Sov in my head and I smile.

#Also they killed off Rasputin or something? I'm sad about that.

Ok, I'm gonna try to write a more coherent opinion post about Tennocon reveals, under the cut:

Soulframe:

Looks beautiful, sounds beautiful. Gameplay seems a bit lacking in terms of how much you walk vs how much you actually do. The boss fight was interesting and atmospheric. The little turtle creatures are instant marketable mascot material, so good on that.

I really wonder how this will work as a live service online co-op game though. Everything about it just screams "single player exploration game", but alright, I'll trust Steve.

Whispers in the Wall:

Ok, first of all - Old Man Yaoi real, that surprised me the most. Now that I have that out of the way.

I am so happy that Warframe loves to be weird and unorthodox and I'm also blown away by the visuals and the new area and just... new enemies and the entire environment is your enemy. I am genuinely hyped for it. I just love the eldritch horror of the Void and I was really worried DE might drop the ball and do a generic "you team up with your buddies and fight god" but so far it sees they're doing it more intelligently.

Also seeing the lost islands of Duviri in the background is such a delicious touch.

Random comment only few will get - the murmur enemies and the weird atmosphere gives me Fear and Hunger vibes and I'm all here for it.

Warframe 1999:

Seeing real life technology feels sacrilegious in Warframe. I never played Dark Sector so I didn't feel a fake-nostalgia from this preview. It is cool because I'm biased and everything Warframe is cool, but I want to know how this fits into the wider Warframe narrative.

It might be a "rewriting timelines" thing or... maybe the Warframe universe really goes back that far.

Also random hot (?) take - Albrecht Entrati's Jojo getup is so goofy... My man you're gay where's the fashion sense!!! Let Loid dress you!!

Also I wonder if human!Loid's outfit looking like Limbo Prime is deliberate. Cuz we got a man named Arthur wearing Excalibur. DE is sneaky about lore but also they like to put a big red flag and then cover it with other red flags so you think it's a red herring.

So that's that.

Overall 9/10 Tennocon

Point deducted for the bullshit Heirloom collection. That shit is way too expensive and I hate whichever marketing ghoul invented it.

[kyliafanfiction]

In-game/in-app purchases, microtransactions, absolutely can be godawful annoying monstrosities. Gacha games in particular, with the randomized generation, or lootboxes or other things like that, especially so. And hell, I’ve fallen victim to it. I blew a good chunk of money on Raid Shadow Legends, I hate to admit it.

But for other games/apps, the purchases are just a net gain, rather than something that feels absolutely essential to play. Warframe’s platinum, for instance. I have bought platinum, yes, and used it mostly just for more weapon and warframe slots (because I hate to sell weapons or warframes even when I’m done with them) or trading with other players, but I played quite a while without buying platinum and would have done just fine without more too.

But I bought it because I wanted the slots and because here’s the real kicker-

In a game that’s free to play, if you actually enjoy it, and you have the money to spare, why not throw some money to support the people who made it? If no one ever bought platinum or the buy-with-real-money cosmetics, DE would either have to start charging for the game, or at least the updates (which would be reframed as expansions, I’m sure), or charging monthly membership fees, or whatever.

Or go out of business. And tbh, I’d almost certainly never have played the game in the first place if it wasn’t free. I would have seen that it was multiplayer and gone ‘neh’. And I’d have missed out on some great story and worldbuilding that works pretty well singleplayer.

So while in principle I think most microtransactioning is BS, overpriced, deceptive, predatory or the like, I do think the concept is not entirely without merit. It can be done better in some ways than others. And if nothing else, if a company is making a product you enjoy, and you want to continue to enjoy, if you have the money, is it so bad to pay, not even for the microtransaction itself, but as a measure of your appreciation of the game?

#Warframe #Microtransactions #Applies to other games and apps #Playchoices #Path of Exile #Musings #Like I don't actually really want or need any of the cosmetics that POE offers for microtransaction and even the stash space is neh #but I really enjoy the game a lot and I think I might want to buy some microtransaction just to support the game to the tune I might have #paid for it as a single player game like Diablo II - which is how I play it because I don't like to do multiplayer anything if possible

[retphienix]

As it comes to an end,

The Gargoyle's Cry was a rather exciting time for me.

It's been 3 whole years since the last event, Orphix Venom, and I was on hiatus at the time!

As a matter of fact the last one I did was Hostile Merger in 2019 and I have all the mats and oplink stuff from Scarlet but I never did it.

So my memory of operations, as I've done so incredible few (THEY KEEP WAITING ON ME TO GO ON HIATUS), is extremely unrewarding but very fun.

Things like the Pyrus Project where we coordinated to fix up a relay which gave us the weapon I probably hate the most in the entire game, the Zylok.

Or the aforementioned Hostile Merger which gave the Glaxion and Spectra vandal, MR fodder if anything though at the time I was extremely excited for the Glaxion.

I'm being harsh in retrospect but in all honestly I LIKE the small scale operation structure- just doing a quick community thing and being given a new toy to play with- I enjoyed that and hope we get a lot more of it- but I talk in this tone because this is THE FIRST "meta rewarding" operation I've ever done- wherein the entire gimmick is "Here's a list of those arcanes you need, grind em out" instead of a new toy.

Apparently, Orphix was the same, so this literally isn't "new" but this is the first time it's happened in over 3 years and the first time I've ever experienced an operation just giving me friggin' Arcane Energize, so I was stoked.

Now. Gameplay wise.

Fuck this operation man lol

I LIKE the boss fight, but doing it something like 160 times made warframe a drag over these last 4 weeks lmao

Now, that's my fault, but when I log into warframe and it goes "Yeah, you could go crack some relics, or farm some rep for arcanes to dissolve, OR- YOU COULD GO KILL THAT BOSS AGAIN FOR ENERGIZE (and others)" you shake you head and give in to the temptation -.-

I guess I'll never actually know since I never experienced it, but researching it back when I was bitching about the modern Orphix missions being extremely unrewarding it read as if the EVENT Orphix was a much much much easier fight and it was a pseudo endless mission that ended at 24 for normal and advances and 36 for the expert version that was most rewarding.

Dude.

Doing an 'endless' mission for arcanes sounds so much more chill than doing this boss fight 100+ times. My god. I want that instead.

But even with that though- this is technically more rewarding than even Orphix was.

For main drops in Orphix you got the necramech mods- which were a pain to get after the fact until this exact update where now you can just buy them from the cavia.

For main drops in this operation you get up to 2 arcanes (boss and angel) and a pinion and there are voca. So you can rep up 2 factions, collect 2 pools of arcanes, all the while building up splinters for a THIRD much more tedious to grind normally pool of arcanes.

Like I've been saying, this operation is extremely rewarding- like ludicrously so, and fucking TEDIOUS lol

I guess I'll round out with my haul, and closing thoughts.

I did something like 160 runs, which should have been enough to max 2 legendary arcanes (nearly 3 I think, it's like 60 runs or something for them) but I shuffled my purchases around.

I maxed Arcane Energize, Arcane Guardian, and Arcane Strike.

FINALLY I have the arcane most impactful to the meta, even if it's not one size fits all. FUCKING FINALLY lol.

I got Arcane Grace to rank 3 (with some extra), Arcane Barrier to rank 2 (with some extra) and bought all the cosmetic nonsense.

That's pretty fucking nice in my book.

My buds also came out like bandits, with one maxing their energize and the other coming VERY close (unless they maxed it and didn't update our chat). Nice :)

~

I sincerely hope this is a sign of things to come, with operations being rewarding (hopefully allowing those of us who hate eidolons to get our collections complete lol) and NOT TAKING 3 YEARS TO HAPPEN AGAIN lol

I hope we get more small and large operations and return to what appears to have been the old standard of 2 per year, only time will tell.

Now if you don't mind, I am going to take a break for like a week from warframe because this burnt my entire brain doing so many times lol

10 people you want to know more about!

Thank you to @hawkeshep for tagging me 💖

I'm gonna take the easy way out and not specifically tag anyone because I'm shy. But anyone who wants to, feel free to do this! 🥰

Favourite color: PINK! I love pink everything. I'm not brand loyal when it comes to gaming peripherals (or much of anything), but I have a bunch of Razer stuff only because it comes in pink. And they have a pink Viper mouse, so I had to get it. Because it me.

Favourite food: Sushi! Any kind really, but I salmon maki rolls that are simple - I don't like a ton of extras.

Song stuck in your head: Lately it's been Sinematic by Motionless in White. but it's usually always a song of theirs.

Last thing you googled: Stamina Templar builds for ESO because my Champion Points got reset after I stopped playing a year or so ago. Didn't think much about being a templar when I started the game, but it's kinda hitting different after playing DA…

Time: I wrote this in a notepad doc at 10:46pm but didn't post it until like 1:20am-ish Eastern

Dream Trip: I would love to travel all around Asia, specifically Vietnam. I had talked about going with my ex when we were dating, but it never happened.

Last book you read: Oh man, this is where I get to be That Person™️ and say I haven't read any books for a while. With work taking up most of my time, I tend to gravitate more towards games for my free time enrichment. The last book I clearly remember reading to completion was The Girl Who Played With Fire.

Last book you enjoyed reading: Gonna default to the previous answer only because I did really enjoy it, and I can't remember anything else I've read around that timeframe.

Last book you hated reading: I wouldn't say I hated it because I really liked the Millennium Trilogy overall, but I could not finish The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest. The hardest thing about the whole series is that it takes a long time for each of the books to wind up at the beginning. By the time I got to the 3rd one, I just couldn't get into it and gave up.

Favourite thing to cook/bake: Soups, mostly! Specifically phở or bò kho

Favourite craft to do in your spare time: Ohh I haven't really done a lot of crafts in a while either. I used to be into creative journaling, a bit of scrapbooking, things like that. I did some digital journaling for a while, but it's been some time since I did anything with it.

Most niche dislike: I don't know if it's as simple as "dislike", but the most niche thing I can think of is that I have to disable the battery percentage in my phone's notification bar because seeing the percentage gives me anxiety for some unknown reason. I can't explain it, but I hate seeing it. I disable it on a lot of my devices. I originally asked my friends to help me figure out a niche dislike I had (because I forget when a question is posed to me) and one of them sent a screenshot of me complaining about the new focus tree notifications in Warframe. So here's this:

Opinion on circuses now and in history: I don't like circuses. I sort of wanted to go as a kid, but that's a pretty common thing, I think? Now I don't think I could ever go to one. Too abusive and exploitative.

Do you have a sense of direction and if not what is the worst way you ever got lost: Absolutely not. I depend on Maps way too much. When I was 18 or 19, I borrowed my mom's car to meet someone that she didn't want me to. I told her I was going to a certain city to hang out with friends, but I didn't and went to another town instead. I thought I knew how to get there, but I got so turned around and had no idea where I was. I ended up having to call someone to help me figure out where I was. I don't remember why, but I couldn't use GPS on my phone.

The Random Players Of Warframe Rant

I like this is my third or maybe even fourth time going on a rant about Warframe. Now, the thing is that a lot of stuff I have previously ranted about isn't all that much of a problem to rant about it further. This rant really isn't going to focus on gameplay stuff because any gameplay stuff I'd complain about is like this:

I hate spy missions

I hate K-Drive races

I hate hijack missions

Grinding for materials is so boring and such a big part of the game

Stuff like that. What I want to rant about here comes to down how much I just dislike other players in the game that are not my friends. One thing that has made me realize this is that I've been using the Warframe market website to sell my extra Prime parts for platinum so I'm not spending as much real money on platinum. Theses people are really fucking impatient and it annoys the hell out of me. I've had multiple people message me wanting to do a trade. Now, more often than not, this happens when I am in a mission which isn't the other persons fault but I just find it annoying this is mostly when people message me about a trade. Anyway, I'll tell these people that I'm in a mission and will get to them when done. When I am done, I message them and either they will be offline or, in most cases, will say that they got whatever Prime part from someone else and this is what annoys me. However, I had one moment where someone messaged about a trade and then my internet decided to have a problem for 10 actual seconds and when it was fine, I messaged the person and they replied saying they got the part from someone else. Yeah, they couldn't wait for 10 fucking seconds and this just infuriates me a lot. These Warframe players really need to learn to have a little more fucking patience.

This also goes into the thing that randoms do that annoys me and has always annoyed me ever since I started playing with random players. That's how most randoms will just bullet jump their way through any mission as fast as possible and I find it both annoying and I really don't get it. They leave a lot of enemies not killed and they miss out on a whole lot of loot which is why it doesn't make sense to me for most players to play this way. It's annoying though for a lot of reasons. For example, those tiles that will have those sensors over doorways and if you walk through the sensor area it will activate a trap in the next and previous room/hallway. Random players will just bullet jump through these and activate all the traps and then wonder they they're down or other people in the squad will go down like, you activated the trap because you're in too much of a fucking hurry to notice what you're fucking doing.

I don't know why random Warframe players have such a fucking problem with having the slightest amount of patience but they clearly do. I had a recent experience with the Mastery Rank 11 test where I had to move through the obstacle course as quick as possible while shooting there orbs that will give me more time on the clock. I was having so many issues at first because I was too focused on getting through as fast as possible that I was going to completely give up and label this as impossible. But, one of my friends that I was in a Discord call with at the time had me share my screen to see what I was doing and basically told me to slow down and focus on nailing my vertical bullet jumps, the one where you start out crouching, and when I did that, I was able to breeze through the test with almost a minute of time left on the clock. I know it won't happen but I really do wish these random players and traders would have just a little more patience because I find this stuff super fucking annoying to deal with.

Hi! I'm eljeebee but you can call me Lana!

Pronouns: she/her

Hails from the Philippines

I post mostly Sims 4 screenshots and gameplays, though I would sometimes post screenshots of Mass Effect (that's the game that changed the trajectory of my life. just kidding, but really, I love that game. No Shepard without Vakarian!)

I wouldn't say this would be a dedicated simblr since I would reblog other stuff too, but I assure you, I post Sims! This account has existed since 2015, but I only managed to explore it now. I mean, a place to share my OC lore, my pixels' stories? Sign me the eff up!

I also post anything Warframe. From random bits of my gameplay to my captura captures (tag: #lana's captura captures)! Feel free to block the #lana plays warframe or the captura tag if you don't want to see them in your dash!

Anyways, I respect each and every one of you here, simblr or not. If you don't like all of my stuff, you are welcome to unfollow, mute, and/or block, no hard feelings!

Of course, if you came here to harm me, send harmful comments and stuff, and to other people, you're a hateful person who would hurt people, from all walks of life, gender, or race, then consider yourself blocked.

sy's beautiful list of hypothetical changes for warframe in a perfect world

also known as my SO and i have a love/hate relationship with this game, because it's the closest thing to the 'perfect' multiplayer game that can be played for hours upon hours upon hours, yet so extremely far away from it because of Things.

also known as: we discuss how we'd have approached & designed this game differently, to tailor it to our most perfect needs in a hypothetical alternate universe. because multiplayer games suck ass, generally, but they're the only type that allows playtime extension through content updates. unfortunately they are also awfully painful to plan & turn out to be a mess of code usually, meaning starting from scratch is the best approach to implement ginormous changes, etc. etc. etc.

also known as: i'm making a list out of this in case i somehow ever design my own multiplayer pve/p game so i know Exactly What I Want. or DE somehow releases warframe 2 and are open to suggestions. LOL

*cracks knuckles* This is Fuck Ass Long by the way Haha Oopsiedoodle

the most fun and important thing about warframe has always been its core gameplay loop. the parkour, the shooting, the warframe abilities, all of that shit is *chef's kiss* prime fucking shit. the only gameplay that hits as smooth and satisfying as that mechanic-wise, is fromsoft with its melee combat system that somehow feels like you're playing an fps but melee.

unfortunately that awesome gameplay loop is shoved away to make place for new doohickey cool projects, like open world v5 that isn't really open world, story continuation that's locked behind a linear progress and endless fucking grinding. SO HERE WE GO!

---

1.Star chart lvl 1-30 remains the introduction, BUT it serves as an introduction to multiple things aka the beginnings of mission types, warframes, lore/mini quests to understand what the fuck you're actually doing. The nodes for the open worlds? GONE. REMOVE THAT SHIT. WE DON'T NEED POE AS LIKE THE 5TH NODE ON EARTH. keep these shit nodes at the end of a branch & locked until further notice.

We are going starchart old-style, keeping the junctions & the bosses that drop the warframes 'n weapons. This 'introductory chart' should allow the new player to get their first few equipment shit, in order to get prepared for The Next Things. It also will give the player 'mandatory' tools to navigate said Next Things, such as the railjack, archwing & necramech introduced earlier, rather than 500h+ into the game.

---

2. 'Content islands' should be handled like WoW new players are irredeemably fucked if they want to do the new war. the amount of required grinding you've got to do to get there, BECAUSE MOST RELEASED CONTENT IS MANDATORY, is awful. fucking. awful. who wants to go through the star chart, get open world rep, get a railjack, get a necramech, etc. etc. just to see how the story continues? it's a linear rollercoaster that you can't get off of, and this is utterly awful if you're a newcomer with limited information i propose dlcs like world of warcraft instead. CONTENT ISLANDS SHOULD BE OPTIONAL INSTEAD OF MANDATORY TO ENGAGE WITH AND TO PROGRESS FURTHER IN THE GAME. if you want to hear the entire story? yeah, you CAN do them, but you aren't FORCED to grind your brains out. blah blah blah, i get that it's a combination of poor decisions & shit planning & f2p methods, but still. as a result they're doing 'duviri is an alt. start heehee', but come on. these ''content islands'', such as the open worlds and railjack missions, should be introduced after the initial star chart is finished AND PROPERLY ALSO RATHER THAN RANDOM BUTTON X IN THE CODEX FOR QUEST Y.

okay. locking story behind story quest to tell it linearly, FAIR AND SQUARE. but to require 84914309328 farming things, fucking railjack, etc., is fucking ridiculous. these separate 'content islands' should be independent from each other and not depend on each other for mandatory 500+ hours of farming. this is TORTURE

---

3. More star charts notice how i said initial star chart? yeah, so, imagine, instead of the fucking steel path, IMAGINE a brand new star chart of some imaginary solar system/galaxy. the 2nd star chart introduces new tile sets, new missions, new enemies/factions that further pull the player into the world of warframe, and runs from lvl 30-60. possibly up to 90. with the increased difficulty, this is also where ''other methods'' can be allowed/introduced, such as a necramech in missions for boss fights or with a cooldown for example. necramechs should have that feeling of power armour from fallout, not some limited corn cob you can only utilise in an ''open world'' setting. yet you somehow need that for a story mission. what the fuck. and then, steel path difficulty, is the 3rd star chart, that is yet another one with new tiles/factions/whatever, and runs from 100+ to whatever the fuck steel path does. this is WHERE YOU REALLY CRANK YOUR BRAIN, aka a more gradual 'difficulty shift' towards steel path. rather than going from mindless fuckbeast killing to CHESS MASTER IQ 1MILL AND STRATEGISING WHAT YOU USE, this is fucking dumb. going from 0-100 literally

---

4. If you make a content island, don't hop on the hype train yeah yeah, duviri paradox and you can ride a horse and melee people with your drifter like you're playing fucking elden ring. sea shanty song because popular pirate game released.

it's so obvious that big updates like this are a try-out experiment to try the Next Big Cool Thing because Epic and have new gimmicks. yes, it can pull in more new players or let old players return. but then they stray away because new content's locked behind 483924320 hours of farming. so that's a le epic fail

content islands for multiplayer games happen. hell they happen for singleplayer games. the problem here is that when they fundamentally feel so DIFFERENT from the main gameplay, is that it gets fucking stupid. railjack? makes sense. you're in space.

you go into duviri to level up your drifter rogue-style...... ??? huh?????? i thought we were playing in skinny mecha suits? what the fucking hell?

and once you're done with content, you're done, you're never looking back. the new war gameplay experience with the grineer & corpus guy, neat! but now kahl is fucking stuck at a singular farming access point for the rest of his life, offering nothing interesting ever again. he's clem in a new suit. fucking. Hell. can we stop prioritising OHH NEW SHINY! and you know. make everything actually make sense & polish old stuff here and there.

and making content islands dependent on each other, so it ''links them together'' in the most awful way possible, is also dumb. it's only dependent because you need shit from old world y for new warframe z. THAT'S STUPID! KEEP IT SEPARATE IF YOU WILL, OR ONLY UTILISE BASE-GAME RESOURCES. YOU'RE INTRODUCING A MILLION NEW THINGS AND IT IS AWFUL! FUCK YOUR OROKIN FISH THAT I HAVE TO SLAUGHTER FOR MY SINGULAR (1) FRAME RECIPE!

IMAGINE INSTEAD, you have to revisit something for a new quest/update sometimes (not always), and it feels somehow different, instead of the same but +100 levels or it's alad v but now with an std! gods!

the most useful 'content island' that's frequently used still is nightwave, despite how fucking odd its beginnings are. that shit with the investigating some murder scene. what in the fucking hell man, what is this, i'm sherlock-fucking-holmes with a katana in space? why am i helping out this random woman. why am i screaming at some ginormous statue. what in the goddamn. at least the weeklies are relevant.

---

5. (Re)implement raids or 'dungeons' & LOVE tileset generation the random tileset generation, ARE WE GOING TO USE IT FOR MORE THAN JUST STARCHART MISSIONS? IMAGINE, specially-crafted tilesets for raids or dungeons, that also randomise each time you do them with 8 folks, so it keeps it fresh regardless of the objectives! and then there can also be special maps for these things to begin with!

why are there so many set maps now? citrine's last wish. the open worlds (understandable in that regard). quest number 100 that goes somewhere unknown with a specially-crafted area that you never go to again. you bitches remember the red veil? is harrow just chilling with them now? i don't know nor care

why do some starchart planets STILL have extremely similar tilesets, or ones that are incredibly frustrating to navigate? fuck me, i hate the derelict and uranus and that one icy planet i forgot the name of. faction-linked tilesets, fine for multiple star charts, but, gods, imagine more planet-linked tilesets that actually show the personality of the planet and how said faction has adapted itself to it. you know, besides water floors and doors on them. that'd be cool!

then they dare introduce the zariman mission with a new tileset but then it's just..... there. one new thing to the starchart, that you can't even get to for a million years. didn't we have this supposed earth rework like 483294032 years ago? god. i feel old and i'm only in my 20s.

---

6. MAKE ACTUAL OPEN WORLDS love it when you go into fortuna or some shit and do the same 5 bounties on the same 5 places until you're dead. okay, fine, you can do multiple missions in a row without leaving the map, BUT THERE IS NO POINT. MAKING THESE MANDATORY TO GET REP AND A NECRAMECH OR FIGHT THE ORB MOTHER ALSO IS FUCKING DUMB!

there should be more than just those bounties on the same 5 places. keeping them is fine, whatever. BUT COME ON, WHERE'S THE OPEN? EIDOLON IS LITERALLY JUST A FIELD

imagine, you explore, and you find a secret hidden boss that gives new warframe parts. never advertised in the trailer. it's just some guy there. you know, elden ring style! discovery! npcs walking about like you're in skyrim and you get credits for saving them or whatever, instead of HAVING to go to ''enemy camps'' and then you get spotted and shot! for what? NOTHING

what if there were optional (mini-)quests in the open world that could reward you with shit more useful than 5k credits? or share a bit more on the lore? the introduction to gara's quest without having to listen to onkko who looks like he's about to die. there's no ''open'' in open world if you only add in bounties, some stupid fishing mechanic, mining and tranquilising animals like you're in ark: survival evolved

also. for the LOVE OF GOD I CAN'T SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING IN POE OR DEIMOS. FORTUNA IS THE CLEAREST I CAN SEE AND YET IT REMAINS SHIT TO NAVIGATE! WHY DID YOU ADD FAST TRAVEL POINTS AFTER 5 MILLION YEARS? THE PARTICLE EFFECTS THE FOLIAGE THE BRIGHT COLOURS GOD MY EYES AND MY BRAIN

---

7. Rewrite that entire fucking mess of a story In an ideal world, the operator wouldn't exist because Fuck Them Kids. Get the drifter instead sacrifice-way, if we REALLY need to have a ''mech pilot'' so fucking badly. The introduction to these quests should be smoother, at least HINTS of it when you go through the initial star chart, rather than having to find out through the wiki, inbox or codex that -apparently- these things exist.

imagine, a new node pops up after a certain point in progression, and you're like owo what's this? BOOM. YOU GET SUCKED INTO THE TITANIA QUEST. or alternatively there's a mysterious cutscene that draws your attention once you finish the node, BUT then the problem of that is the amount of quests that'd be introduced & then overwhelm the new player.

also why can everything be thrown back to the orokin as the origin of all that is there? we're in space, for fuck's sake, give me more unique aliens! more outer forces at play besides those sentients that look like walking matchsticks!

you'd think life would be a bit more varied than blue long-armed humans, regular humans, capitalist humans, cloned humans & humans infested with fungi & humans so infested they became mech suits & sticks invented by the blue humans. oh and telepathic kids.

you're a multiplayer game. THERE IS CREATIVITY IN THOSE FRAME DESIGNS. YOU CAN DO THE SAME FOR THE FUCKING WORLD BUILDING, INSTEAD OF SLAPPING A SHINY LIGHT ON A HUMAN AND CALLING IT A NARMER. YOU ARE AS AWFUL AS MARVEL IN TERMS OF ALIEN DESIGN writing a better story is also heavily hindered by the fact it's a multiplayer game. how am i supposed to believe I AM THE ONE SPARKY if there's about 10 million other bitches besides me on fortuna? tailoring it to fit the multiplayer narrative would also make it more immersive and believable, aka you're not JUST the only one. you're just a speck of nothing in the grander scheme of things, or whatever.

this'd also allow multiplayer quests for once, because solo-ing every story-related thing is a bit.... eugh. admittedly, they did scale things to be 'bigger' with yapping about the zariman update, and I Get That Multiplayer Game Planning Is Awful And Is Messy, but god fucking damn. incoherent mess with 10 million buzzwords, plotholes and whatever else exists. YOU CAN BE INCOHERENT AND INCONSISTENT. BUT IF IT'S A STORY TO BE CONSUMED BY AN AUDIENCE, THAT AIN'T GOOD BUDDY!

---

8. In an ideal world the Warframes are actually Just Guys Unique abilities? Yes please. Unique idle animations? Yes please still. However WHY do SOME warframes get special roll animations while others don't? It's fucking dumb. There should be a 'standard' at least for particular body types, aka Grendel Big And His Arm Is Clipping Because Of Standard Animation. this also adds more onto the feel that warframes are unique and ''alive'' rather than skin puppets. because seriously Fuck Them Operator Kids And Drifter Adults (But Less)

have a main animation set (walking/jumping/rolling/etc.) for the 'average' body. have one for flying types. have one for bigger bodies. have one for smaller bodies. etc.

i don't want that airy feel with zephyr like she's incredibly awful to control. give her unique animations instead, and begone with that walking-on-clouds shit! rhino's walk should FEEL HEAVY BECAUSE HE'S HEAVY! hypothetically, what if grendel bullet-jumped around like he's some kind of sonic ball, instead of being as agile as the skinniest skin puppet? EVEN MORE PERSONALITY, BABY, RATHER THAN VALKYR 2.0!

---

9. A BIT MORE customisation freedom & optimisation The regular classic palette should be fully unlocked to every single player normally. I AM SO GODDAMN TIRED OF ALL THE WHITE/BLACKS + GREENS OR OTHER BRIGHT COLOUR. additional palettes being 75p that's fine whatever. why don't we include more cosmetic shit in login rewards or quest/nightwave shit that isn't a random wall picture?

material customisation should've been a thing from the start. though the way they do it now with voidshell skins, is fine really. BUT IN MY IDEAL WORLD, part of customisation normally.

amps/customisable weapons/whatever should be able to get their names changed always for free, though possibly at a cooldown interval of a month because. idk. database issues or whatever. you can also name rename regular weapons after max. rank and pets with platinum, sure that's fine whatever. imagine being able to give your own warframes a name as well. customised names for non-modified things should still show up to other players as nezha, baza prime, etc. because otherwise Confusing As Fuck, Baby!

the tennogen shit? that's fucking awesome, keep it coming. big minus of that, is when tennogen shit is out-of-date once the prime releases, and that Sick Ass Revenant Immortuous Helmet looks fucking HORRIBLE due to material differences. (another reason i'm an advocate for material customisation from the get-go)

some customisation shit should just be free. I GET THAT IT'S F2P. BUT WE DON'T REALLY NEED TO PAY FOR FACE TATTOOS. FACE TATTOOS, FOR FUCK'S SAKE! the older/outdated a cosmetic is, the cheaper it should be if made by DE. why do you want me to pay 50 plat for what's essentially a moving texture on a 2D plane. this shit should be like 15. I'M LOOKING AT YOU ASA SYANDANA. this is the same shit as nintendo still asking 60 quid for yoshi's doodoo world that came out in the 1950s or whatever. FUCK YOU, WHY DON'T YOU REALISE MORE PEOPLE WILL BUY IT AT LOWER PRICES IF IT'S BEEN A (REALLY) LONG TIME?

also: optionally, tennogen artists should be able to permanently 'lower' prices of their older items if they want to. good thing DE is doing tennogen sales tho, i guess

recolours of syandanas/armours/similar cosmetics (I'M LOOKING AT YOU, BARO KI'TEER PRISM SHIT!) should be treated as skins rather than separate items. it clogs up the fucking menu so bad. do it like fortnite skins, or, you know, how you select the appearance of something with weapons.

"BUT SY, WHAT IF I GET THE RECOLOUR FIRST" yeah so this system is dumb to begin with. cosmetics with recoloured versions should be rewarded for free rather than pay 50p-100p a recolour. TAKE THAT, AVIA ARMOUR SET

also can we stop having those cinematic market preview shots of new frames and whatever. i can't see what the fuck i'm looking at let alone what the thing looks like. ew

AND HEY. I KNOW WISP IS A FAN-FAVOURITE AND YOU KEEP RELEASING SKINS TO GET THAT SWEET $$$, BUT FUCK ME, I WANT COSMETICS FOR LESSER-LOVED WARFRAMES MORE OFTEN! FUCK YOU ASS-LOVING BITCHES

---

10. I Get That It's Spaghetti/Years Upon Years Of Code But Wow These Bugs Are Random XD saryn my poor girl i am so sorry for your loss of a cracked spine and having your innards penetrated by whatever this new positioning bug is in the market preview

my poor baby mustard will remain forever a premature piece of cyst. poor thang isn't even alive. undeveloped flesh beast. (Note that this has been an issue for uh..... At least a year at this point)

sigh.

---

*insert 2-hour break here because holy fuck the drifter faces are horrendous and i just HAD to fix mine's even though they've got a hood on 24/7*

---

11. Old Frame New Jacket You know what those fuckers at Hi-Rez do for smite? when an old ass model gets so ugly, they make it a new sculpt + model. The old version is still attached as an extra skin. you wanna look at sobek's glow up? of course you do.

what a beautiful boy!

anyway. can we do this for excalibur and nyx and whatever. you can switch between the old/new version and accompanying tennogen skins just fine. but still. my poor boy excalibur looking like a loose candy wrapper on the street

this also helps with keeping the art consistent. like, okay, i get it, excalibur looks basic as fuck, you're more prone to buy a skin for him. but this is just lame

cosmetics bring in money. fashionframe is endgame. i get it. fine. but fucking hell can we also stop implementing things that look way cool, but ruin the practicality of play?

ephemera wings? fuck you especially. fuck you extremely hard. 10 million warframe effects and it's just a visual mess upon visual mess.

---

12. Fuck That Farming Grind Extreme 1000 some bitches love farming. i don't. there should be more QoL to farming as well as better RNG rates & less RNG occurrence in general & better amounts of resource drops, especially for endless missions.

it should be a crime that there's double RNG upon RNG. RNG for getting a specific relic. so you can put in a stupid item, to increase RNG chances to get that specific item you want from it. that's SINFUL. AWFUL. WHO CAME UP WITH THIS? I'M GOING TO HAUNT YOU

why are the rotations like AABC? that's fucking stupid. why do you get so many shit things on rotation C only, aka after 20 minutes of wasting your painful life? can't we do it like khora, where you have a chance to get a part on rotation A, then B, then C? you know? more efficient time instead of purposefully making the player go fucking insane and then give in to buy with plat?

i got a life, homie, i cannot dedicate to the grind full-time. waiting 3 days for a frame you crafted, fine, whatever. but timegating a lot of shit behind that 20-minute mark, oh you're just asking to be punched

the faction rep farming with the tokens from deimos? good change. they should keep that. although farming rep in general is god awful and those rates should be lowered to begin with. why the fuck do you need to be rank 5 of the main faction and then rank 5 of the side faction to get some stupid wristband for your mecha pilot. that's dumb.

and the recent thing with citrine, that you can farm resources to buy from some guy to guarantee the part? also good! keep doing more of that shit, instead of locking the latest warframe behind arbitrations, which REQUIRES YOU TO DO X AND Y AND Z AND THE ALPHABET and you're 85 and about to die. god. this is awful.

AND HEY. WHY DO I NEED 120K FUCKING ALLOY PLATES FOR A FUCKING INCUBATOR JUST SO I CAN GET A STUPID CAT TO WALK AROUND MY SHIP? WHAT THE HELL

---

13. Fuck Them Power Creeps, Give Me Actual Challenge the modding system is already complicated enough and you add a whole new set of power mods again, now from the archons? why do we even still have damaged mods? that's stupid. rid of them. god. i'm going to jump off a cliff.

I LIKE IN THE STAR CHART THAT IT'S DIFFICULT WHEN YOU START OUT! YOU DIE! YOUR BULLETS DO SHIT DAMAGE! NOBODY FUCKING CARES ABOUT AOE OR YOU! THE ENERGY & HEALTH MANAGEMENT COULD BE A TAD BETTER BUT STILL!

for the love of god can we stop this power creep. fine, you one-shot every single thing when you know what you're doing. but can we just not have this at all? one-shotting lvl1-30 enemies. fine. whatever.

sorties and arbitrations and similar are fine also, but, come on, dude, that's just an endless defense mission with an increased level for ''difficulty''. that's dumb. and also the fact you can one-shot them. where's the design in that?

red crits constantly in steel path shit after learning your stupid shield gate and navigation skills? i think that's dumb. it's a nobrainer. you have 0 thoughts doing warframe like this and it makes the grind unenjoyable, ALTHOUGH EASIER to get through

increase the difficulty, NOT BY JUST LEVELS! lower the amount of shit power warframes and weapons can get! why is AOE still the meta! why are boss fights only increased in ''difficulty'' by giving them invulnerability, gated health bars or disabling your abilities! that's so fucking stupid!

MAYBE INTRODUCE MORE ENVIRONMENTAL MECHANICS FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS LIKE BOSSES ALSO. THAT ISN'T JUST *corpus hound blares and spins lasers in a cone, also known as your average spy mission* OR *guy screams and there's water and you just have to jump up a little*

why do people have to learn stupid mechanics like shieldgating in order to get crazy mad unkillable with a 100armour frame with no health mods, instead of, i don't know, utilising the actual tools at disposal! can we balance warframes and weapons more for a more even playground! good fucking gods. the game is fucking pve, but the only pve available is the loot & the parkouring & useless minigames in open worlds. WHAT ELSE

---

14. I am New and I Need Mommy new player experience remains absolute dogshit JUST because of the focus on new stuff & the fact that it very heavily deviates from what you start out as

hello? in-game wiki? or at least more comprehensive tutorials that aren't a stupid wall of text like we're playing a jrpg. i will Not Remember what you said about the modding system. like at all.

the fact that you will NOT survive without the wiki or someone to teach you is utterly awful for the survivability of a f2p game. how in the fuck warframe's still standing is sometimes beyond me. fun gameplay loop maybe. jesus

15. Prime shit should be Better than 10% health stat increase Hello? you're missing out on the opportunity to make primes actually fully worth it, besides a new look with overwhelming gold ornaments. or, you know, someone wants nidus, but nidus prime already came out, so, you know, why bother with the regular one unless it's for MR

what if abilities were also just stronger? so. you know. it actually feels more like a prime rather than a golden iphone you bought from the store, only because you didn't like your black iphone. sigh.

the increasing amount of fucking normal tex lines + details on primes (and newer frames in general) is also god awful.

HELLO? I CAN'T DISTINGUISH NOR READ THIS VISUALLY

16. Companions are still pretty much useless yeah girl i love going into steel path and then my sentinel is immediately dead because this motherfucker's health is so sad and bad. the CONSTANT notification of a pet dying because it's in a high-level defense mission. god. help

at this point you might as well make companions fucking invincible and only have them for flair or small QoL changes. you know... how mmos do it... like the sucking up items with a sentinel. the fact that my sentinel can just kill starchart enemies on its own is dumb, yet it dies immediately if it comes close to level 60.

companions are never going to have the usefulness of palicoes in monster hunter and frankly they shouldn't do that either. we already got frames. we already got weapons. cats having a random farm boon. fine. pet the dog maybe. also fine. BUT WE ARE IN A SKIN SUIT FOR A REASON, BOYS!

17. Redundant & inconsistent things that should be rid of or fixed archwing should only be a means of quick travel in open worlds and railjack. why are there still archwing missions. fuck uranus for having so much fucking water.

why do we need to keep track of 4839248320923090423 resources with each new update? this is so fucking awful. i'm holding my entire inventory and 5 of each component falls out. goodbye. why do we even have so many status types also when there's a clear preference for viral + heat?

the abundance of mods? fuck that. why do we need primed. why do we need archon mods. why do we need arcane mods. why do we even have umbra at this point. simplify it, for god's sake, there's a bazillion things at this point that basically do the SAME THING so you can only STACK IT. BUT FOR WHAT? WHAT'S THERE TO KILL BESIDES STEEL PATH OR ARCHONS WITH THOSE MODS? TELL ME FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!

WHY IS THE OPERATOR/DRIFTER EQUIPMENT UI DIFFERENT THAN THE WARFRAME ONE? WHAT THE FUCK? DO WE REALLY NEED 5 MILLION BUTTONS IN THE MENU AND UI, IT'S SO OVERWHELMING

newly-introduced ''pity systems'' or changed mechanics should be also applied to older versions. why the fuck is the mining game different still, if you use the poe drill vs. the fortuna drill vs. the deimos drill? why the fuck is getting a dog fundamentally different to a cat to a moa. WHY DID THEY NEVER INTRODUCE TOKENS FOR FORTUNA & POE? THIS IS SO FUCKING DUMB AND INCONSISTENT!

syndicates are also so fucking redundant, with their expanded system compared to usefulness in practice? what? i'm picking between pokemon sword & shield to see which special frame-specific mods i can get besides relic packs? and also who'll sometimes come to assassinate me? that's it? and i can pick out of 6 different factions with a different look that you could've definitely built more on lore-wise? but the only one you basically build on is teshin for some reason? christ.

18. Where is the multiplayer in my multiplayer game? you can solo shit if you want to. farming and gaining xp becomes a fuckton easier with a squad. maybe you can do steel path easier. but that's it. most of the time you're in random squads. forgettable usernames. forgettable places. etc. etc.

with the previous point about difficulty and also a more multiplayer-tailored story, this can also just boost multiplayer interaction over solo. it's a multiplayer game ffs, why is the main story acted out solo?

it's the same with any multiplayer game that's too piss easy. remember classic warcraft? yeah i didn't play that, but fucking hell bitches would get into a party and become friends over fucking questing.

this is a general anonymosity issue with the internet/gaming/whatever as a whole, but still, fuck me, warframe literally doesn't feel like a multiplayer game whatsoever. utilise that mechanic besides shitty host migrations and crossplay! god! there's barely even any pvp!

19. For Fun Gimmicks should stay For Fun Why in the hell is there a faction for a hoverboard in fortuna......... Why do I need to tranquilise 5 fucking animals for 1 plushie and that's the Only Way I Can Get Him........ God. Good god why can't it just be simpler and easier. this is so fucking stupid, holy fuck. farming for cosmetics, fine. farming for a stupid plushie so your ship looks less bland and depressing, that's just dropkicking the player into a chasm

*add in comment here that my post is getting so long that it's making the tumblr editor glitch. this is extremely funny to me i am writing a book here*

20. Mastery rank is a fucking sham locking things behind mastery rank is fucking dumb, especially if they require something like MR10 and you get the equivalent of a starter weapon. my god.

mastery rank is there to show your 'progress' of the game, but really the majority of it is levelling gear. discovering new locations and quests only add so little. do you know how stupid that sounds?

what the fuck am i mastering here? how to shoot a guy with my goddamn hek? what da hek is going on?

it is true that mastery rank can be more-or-less tied to someone's experience with the game, but even then it's flawed. it's not a good indicator. the rewards you get from the tests, fine, great, but other than that, it's just another fucking bar to fill, like, you know, the millions of other bars in this fucking game

---

21. There is always fucking Something You Don't Know when it takes over 1k hours to learn of something new, especially if it's a required or fundamental part of the game, that's so fucking stupid. i still don't touch steel path despite min-maxing my warframes. i still don't use specters or whatever the fuck. i don't care enough to do sorties or arbitrations or whatever because fuck me what do they give me? nothing of worth to me.

some see it as a bonus that there's always something to learn. i agree. but if it's for fundamental systems that will be required in the journey (EVENTUALLY), then, you know. that's. so. stupid.

look at this fucking shit ass table of game mechanics, some technical in the background, most of them part of your moment-to-moment epic gaming.

like what the actual fuck? it's so clear that you can build upon coding, or reinvent coding to copy-paste it into a new zone (multiple areas that count as your 'decoration zone'). yet by multiplying what's essentially the same, you're just, again, bloating the system with useless crap that could've just utilised the original base.

the last time i actually saw a new fitting mechanic, was when disruptions were introduced, because, wow, that was an actual entire new game mode, rather than copy-paste defense but NOW with gems to collect. sheesh. again, this is the focus on shiny new & adding more shit onto the pile, rather than keeping it more concise. eugh

22. I'm feeling 22 i'm actually not 22. my head is empty and this is like an essay. there is 4832948230 more things but above? yeah that's about the majority of it.

here is an irrelevant beast you will never see on mars ever but only about once maybe.

that's my ted talk. good bye

#ive been alot happier playing video games now that ive detached myself from them #like warframe i talked about alot already 3000 hours whatever. but now ive actively been avoiding grindy games #and just playing for fun!!!! #oh i saw a link meme (its my -insert thing here- and i get to choose the thing!) and i felt that!! #like doom!! im seeing people play like ultra hard mode but fam i dont got good reflexes and my mental state is deteriorating #so i play the easiest mode!!! and i have fun playing it!!! (although the early levels are kinda boring) #and warframe!! i sometimes enjoy it but like trying to spend time to get something is HARD. #you gotta spend a full fucking 40 hour work week to get like TWO of the nice arcanes #i spent just an hour or two each day for 2 weeks and got the two arcanes i REALLY wanted #theres more that i want but i would need to put triple the time i already put in. maybe more!!! i hate that!!! this isnt my job!!! #im here to have fun and frankly doing the same thing hundreds of times over just is NOT fun!! its not fun!! #so i stopped. i havent played warframe for like a month or something #ive been watching shadow play as the killer in dead by daylight #i love watching him wipe the floor with the survivors and shoving the toxic players faces into the dirt #i LOVE it when he gets toxic messages and then he slams them!!!! #sometimes he gets a group of survivors who are in a party and playing ONLY to win and nothing else. game etiqitue be damned #they only wanna give the killer a hard time. those times suck but those people are awful #and ive been playing alot of minecraft. not obsessively. just playing when i have alot of inspiration to build something #and playing with the void people is really nice. we get into voice chat and chill #i talked about all of these before and i might be repeating myself #and im really nervous cuz im gonna be talking to my landlord today about lowering rent during the quarentine #and theres a lot of issues with the property i need to bring up too. i dont have like. alot of reasons to be scared #its just intimidating talking to the person who owns the house you live in. thats a wild statement i hate it #also talked with a tenants union so im gonna be trying to get more active in that while im off work #and theyll help me if it starts getting nasty with my landlord

Sharing this video because though I no longer play Warframe as actively as I did, I still love the game and I absolutely hated having to live through this bullshit. Chat Moderation is a complete fucking joke. The Guides of the Lotus is a useless thing in the game, and I’m tired of DE’s favoritism towards certain community members and the straight up denial of actual problematic players and abusive chat moderators. 

In all honesty, I can say that I loved the game at one point. It brought me so much joy and entertainment, but in the recent year or two, I’ve been noticing a disturbing trend of DE ignoring problems and getting too egotistical thanks to the giant boost that Skill Up gave the community thanks to his review of the game. I’m not saying that veterans of Warframe are the only people that matter, not by any means and I am glad that newer players are enjoying the game. I simply come from a point of playing this game for 6 years. I have loved this game for almost every minute of it, and now I can barely pick up the game because I’ve finally caught on to the fact that nothing is really changing. 

I want to see Warframe improve and get better, but I don’t see that happening if things do not change. 

#warframe #here we go posting my controversial opinion again #Can't wait to be told to fuck off or that i'm anti-sjw and have an angry hoard commenting here that 'my opinions are invalid' #I hate certain types of people in this community #It's why I don't play the game anymore #but I still want the game to succeed and IMPROVE

If Yareli can do all that why do the youtubers hate her?

That's what I want to know as well. The biggest reasons from what I gather are:

She has little to no ability synergy, unlike the one that came before her, Sevagoth. I will agree on this one, but they talk like this is an extremely bad thing. A lot of "strong Warframes" barely have synergy themselves, like Chroma and Saryn. You only press one button on these guys to be effective at the very least.

Her 2nd ability, Merulina, is extremely difficult to control. Oh sure, I also agree on this one, but umm... and Gauss isn't? "Well you play Gauss on open worlds, not small tight areas." Then Yareli's the same. Play her on proper maps, dipshits.

Her 1st ability can only stun a few select people at once, probably 3-5. A valid flaw. But... to call her the "literally worst Warframe" just because? And are you going to sleep on her ultimate, then?

Her 3rd ability doesn't deal enough damage. Again, a valid flaw, and could use tweaking. But at least they have guaranteed slash procs, and last a ridiculous amount of time.

I'm sure they got more complaints than these, but now this just pisses me to hell and back because Yareli has a LOT of other proper strengths!

She has a goddamn 200% crit chance increase on secondaries. "But you have to keep moving" Oh no what a chore to do in the game where you're always jumping around like coke-infused robo-ninjas. It's also an INCREDIBLY small price to pay for a 200% crit chance, when there are weapons like Akbolto Prime and Pyrana Prime.

Merulina provides so much buffs, while also giving her certain resistances and immunities outside of what's dictated. I don't even know where to BEGIN. She's immune to any status effects, and casting Merulina will cleanse her of them. She can't be affected by Nox clouds, Arctic and Venomous Eximi auras, neither can ice floors and lava spills. Not to mention, she can't trigger pressure plates in Orokin maps. She doesn't enter the heavy landing animation when falling from a great height while on Merulina, and lastly, she's immune to knockdowns ONCE while on it, at the cost of being knocked off Merulina. But she does not get disabled for that.

Merulina's damage resistance is surprisingly strong. I am unsure what's going on here and I don't have the math to prove this, but Merulina's damage resistance just feels a lot stronger than it should. Despite having only 75% resistance, compared to Gara's 90% or Mirage's 95% (while in darkness), playing her even on high level Kuva Lich missions never had my health bar dented. They all keep whittling down my shields slowly, which will then be restored by my Sentinel, and by the time they whittle it back down, my Sentinel can restore it again. Again I don't know how accurate this is, but I've felt more tanky as Yareli than I ever had been as Gara or Mirage. Playing those two, I would fold very quickly against high level enemies regardless. Yareli though, I've yet to taste the floor.

I will admit Yareli's not the best Warframe, but she definitely does not deserve the title for LITERAL ABSOLUTE GARBAGE-TIER WORST either. At least she does as advertised, still capable of dishing out good amounts of damage, and is fun to play. Yareli is fun to play! She's proper strong once you've modded her right! She can play with the big boys and girls yet everyone decides to give her shit all because some hot shits with popular YouTube accounts had bad first impressions, and obviously everything they say is right. Or maybe because everyone decided to jump on her because hating on Xaku was soooo yesteryear.

Also, if she's the literal worst... what do they have to say for Frost and Atlas? The literally two most forgotten Warframes because they're outclassed by everyone else. Not even joking, when's the last time you've seen a Frost or Atlas.

TL;DR:

#warframe #yareli #sorry for walls of text but #I feel strongly about this. #rayrants

If I'm being honest here i haven't played warcrame in days. I don't hate it or anything I just haven't felt like playing so I've just been playing for honor and I want to talk about my for honor ocs but if I do I get 0 notes and I like getting notes it makes me feel good so I guess either expect a rebrand with occasional warframe shit or expect me to get lazy and simply not do anything. Idk at this point

#warframe #seriously tho i havent been able to keep my for honor ocs out of my mind #i want to talk about the knight women
