Warframe & Pandering Anonymous 03/25/2025 (Tue) 22:47:49 Id: e93472 No. 1082692
I just need a way to vent about this frustration. Warframe's 1999 update takes you back to the year 1999 in a timeline where Albrecht Entrati introduced warframes early by injecting the Helminth strains into people at this time. Main group is The Hex. Now we get to the most recent addition to this update. Adding more of these protoframes. And the issue with one in particular. The warframe Temple & his protoframe, Flare. DE decided they should both be officially "nonbinary". Why? Hell if I know. There's no lore reason & Flare is even referred to as they before he became infected. What further muddies this is his strain created a sentient guitar called Lizzie that is literally part of the Helminth. She refers to herself in plural form because the Helminth is part of the Infested hivemind. So you'd assume Flare is like this because he's part of the hivemind now but as I said already that can't be the case. If you're going to do this kind of thing then at least implement it in the story to have some amount of excuse. Not just shoving it in like Dragon Age Veilguard did recently. Look how it turned out for them. And just as a bonus annoyance, you still get banned if you refer to Nezha as a trap.
>>1082702 This is an extreme stretch, but when I read that Grendel and Gauss were meant to be released at the same time a thought came to me: Is there an Ornstein and Smough reference here? Fat cannibal frame and lightning (fast) skinny frame.
>>1112826 It is what it is. Mods and arcanes are so strong now a days you can easily make it work, but its a solid C tier at best. DE could have made it better, but they got very lazy with the codas compared to the kuva and tenet stuff.
>>1112945 Now that they've covered all three major factions, I hope we can get something like Kuva/Tenet/Coda versions of the Sentinels that they refuse to give Primes to since they aren't Orokin in origin. Kuva Diriga, Coda Djinn, and Tenet Oxylus.
The one and only issue truly holding warframe back is damage attentuation >make a decent build >shreds through enemies with ease >fight a boss >damage gets capped >stare the boss to death for 5 minutes >encouraged to use unlimited ammo weapons like laetum >pigeon-holed into a meta strat they can keep that dogshit mechanic IF we get another mechanic that disables that shit.
>>1113229 Damage attenuation is a (poor) bandaid for the greater problem which is that the combat is inherently flawed across the board because of how bloated damage has become. If the players can break multipliers by several degrees be simultaneously unkillable via shield gating/overguard/full iframes/mesmer skin/etc and also regularly deal damage in the hundreds of thousands to millions, how do you create an engaging experience? You can't. So the game has to become balancing on a knife's edge where if you don't maintain your state of invincibility you quickly get absolutely crushed the second damage manages to squeak past and tough your health pool. And in that state, the only way to create difficulty that measures higher than the normal dross that you fight is scaling. Since I came back to the game over a month ago since not playing it in 2019 I've been struggling to find the right comparison for how I feel about it. Outside of planning and creating your build, nothing about the gameplay feels meaningful in the way that I usually enjoy when playing games. I like back-and-forth struggle with the enemies I fight against, but instead of that Warframe is the equivalent of clobbering somebody over the head and having your way with them. Even with that being the case I enjoy playing the game, it feels good to use the overpowered tools in my hands and I love the alien fleshmech aesthetics ILU SARYN and the story/worldbuilding where it isn't shit on by bad characters with unfitting dialogue and bizarre pacing is also right up my alley, but outside of some kind of top-to-bottom damage rework I can't see them actually fixing any of these issues that are just gonna get more and more exacerbated.
>>1083099 >warframe story >OMG THE WARFRAMES ARE ACTUALLY LITTLE KIDS!!!!!!!! WOW!!! you are retarded if you claim you play for story
>>1113514 >how do you create an engaging experience? You can't. you can with other mechanics. lets take the lieutenant as an example. >starts borderline unkillable >the arena has "spotlights" pointing at the boss >shoot the spotlights to make him vulnerable >each spotlight reduces damage attenuation by a certain amount with that, veterans with a good build only have to pop 1 or 2 spotlights, while mrlets might have to pop all of them. this turns a 1 micro second fight into a fight. as it stands now, damage attenuation does nothing more than waste your time and effort. i'd much rather be absurdly powerful through my own wit and effort than gimped by a bandaid mechanic just to make a couple of fights take more time.
>>1113229 I agree. Fuck’s sake they made Acuity that superficially rewards a skillful playstyle with hundreds of thousands to millions of damage and then Attenuation tends to make it hit softer than Multishot builds

I knew something was off about them.
>>1114035 I might actually do ETA this week now. The DA is still aids, but half health should at least make it faster.
>>1114035 Well that explains a lot
Am I dumb or can I not view the Argon Crystals in my inventory? I wanted to see how long they have to decay without looking at the wiki.
>>1115020 You should be able to. I do all the time. I don’t think they are time-based but more of reset based. And decay 1 by 1

WE ARE SO BACK
>>1115387 Turns out I AM dumb, they're under "Components" in the "Foundry" tab.
Posting this classic
>>1115767 24hrs and they decay on time collected not 1 by 1 so if you got 1 earlier than the other they'll both decay at the same time but have different expiry dates
>>1119134 Ah, I see. So they all decay at the same time but actually expire at different times. Gotcha. Also, do I reeeeaally gotta join a clan just to get Yareli's parts?
>>1122426 yeah there's no way around it unless you plan to make some plat and buy her
>>1122426 Best to do so because some frames and weapons are only acquirable that way. And in special alerts, being in a clan opens extra shops like Gargoyle’s Cry and Belly of the Beast. You will want to be in a clan then.
>>1123166 >>1123531 Do I actually gotta contribute in any way or interact with these people? I'd rather just get the parts and leave.
>>1123863 Depends on the clan. There is always a high ranked gigantic clan that is chill enough. Mine only has the restriction that 1 month inactive risks a ban. And they didn't ban me for that anyway. Though this also means there is barely interaction there. Years back we kept helping each other doing relics togehter. Nowadays my clan is basically an accessory to us, to use for Trading or these benefits.
>>1123863 like he said it depends on the clan but if you don't want to join one yareli should be next in line for a prime you could just wait
>>1123958 >>1124148 Yeah, I think I'll just wait. I really don't wanna have to join anything if I don't have to.
What happened to the steam login? >>1124284 for your sake anon I hope they don't skip her for gyre
>>1096984 there's a vg board now gonna make a wfg thread there since there's a good chance 4chin is ded for good

/wfg/ bros are you here? Is this our new home now? I just got here.
>>1129067 There's a thread on /vg/ >>>/vg/1498 I think that works
They should make a warfare game but with anime girls.
>>1129356 duet night abyss when...
>>1083142 There's an alternate timeline where warframe was a pretty cool 12 hour singleplayer console action shooter with a now dead multiplayer that people remember very fondly.
I spent far too much time playing shitframe. I want that time back.
>>1145795 source on the dolphin music?
reminder to anyone passing by we're on >>>/vg/
