The main reason digital extremes stays afloat with warframe is because people who spend money mostly do it to support the studio despite the fact that they could get everything for free
@@ChippiesBRyou can get everything for free because you can trade plat. And the only "manipulative practice" is the fact that you need to buy emplacements for weapons and frames.
@@ChippiesBR Yeah, that’s fair. Although I think the biggest issue is just the lack of red arrows pointing towards free methods of obtaining paid content. If more new players knew about all the ways to circumvent in game purchases, then there would definitely be less of the scumminess you talked about. Unfortunately, they need to make money somehow, or else no one could play warframe. I guess it’s a necessary evil when managing a massive multiplayer free-to-play game.
You got a lot of weird information. 1. Platinum (the premium currency) can be earned through trading so this game can be seen as almost entirely free. 2. Every frame, weapon, and later items can be gotten to level 30 to help your overall Mastery rank. You can get these things again to rank up, but will not provide anymore progress after they have been mastered once (lvl 30). 3. Don’t rush the game and just do all the missions and quests (you’ll have to do them all anyway if you want to actually do any endgame content). If you do it at your own pace, burn out is much less likely to happen.
So the Bulletjump was actually created because we originally had a movement tech called "coptering". Back in the non bj days, when you used the spinning slide melee while mid air, it would propel you forward with the momentum of your melee weapon. The faster the melee, the faster you would fly forward. The fastest weapons in the game at the time were called the Zorens, thus the tech was called "zorencoptering" at first, then just "coptering" after other equally fast weapons were introduced. Eventually the devs decided that the absurd boosts of speed were too much. Sometimes you would glitch through walls with how fast you were going. It was blindingly fast. When they announced that they were removing coptering, the community rioted against it. Bulletjumping was the middle ground that DE thought of and it ended up being a massive upgrade over coptering which was a strictly horizontal movement tech. Now it's the staple of the movement in the game. We love a dev that works WITH the community and not against them.
Always love seeing videos titled "I'm falling in love with Warframe," I click on it and find out...they've barely done anything yet. Heartwarming. ☺ Truly does prove wrong the trope that "it takes 100 hours to get good." It doesn't. It's good from the start. It just gets greater later.
@howardyoo4070 As they should. 11 year old games should provide a lot of things to do, and the best part is, the long grind isn't super necessary if some.dont want to partake. The quests and story have risen to be the best part, and if people just want to experience that and then stop, all good. 👍
The game could do with explaining core systems a bit better, as I don't believe showing where the modding menu is and slotting a mod in fully explains it, but the thing carrying new players through the early-game confusion is the feeling of "yeah, I'm a space ninja". I begin to worry the moment people hit the first wall of "omg enemies are really tanky and I'm really squishy now", as while all the info is available to the player, it's not shown, which is one of my big gripes when learning the game. I've had to explain what I see as something simple to friends because they assume it works differently. I get every game's gonna have the early-game struggles, but finishing the tutorial quests has the game go "now go, rid the star system of evil" and leaves you to it, with any question you may have regarding certain gameplay elements being left on read. ... actually not too much different from D2 when you think about it... only Warframe doesn't immediately shove 10 pop-ups into your face and advertise campaign skippers on the log-in screen.
Couple tips I'd give any new players: 1- do NOT sell your weapons/frames/pets until they get rank 30, each rank counts for your mastery rank, if you sell a lvl 10 skana, you'll have to get a new one and level it back up to 30 to get the missing mastery XP from the 20 ranks you missed on the weapon. 2- do NOT sell quest weapons, most are S tier and some are needed to unlock certain frames/weapons (i.e. Xoris for Protea, Paracesis for some sentient content). (Also note that regular weapon and prime/wraith/prisma/vandal variants all counts separately, so for instance, if you got a rank 20 Boltor, make sure to rank it to 30 before selling her to make room for your Boltor Prime).
Don't sell frames at all. Especially with the helminth system now added to the game. Well, let me correct myself, check how hard it is to earn the frame again before you sell it 😂 I remember selling Equinox shortly before the helminth came out. This was also before duviri/circuit dropped. I was so frustrated trying to earn all her parts again!
@@niconicoshi Dude, I remember selling khora, ivara, limbo, mirage, chroma, mesa, banshee, Wukong. So many 😭 I had to join a clan when I started playing again.
@@maimer1691 bro, of the ones you mentioned i only have banshee, mirage and khora on the helminth... atleast tbh, most aren't that useful, i do miss Ivara though...
@@niconicoshi dude get her prime! That's what I did. She's so useful in high level spy missions (sortie, archon hunt, etc). I'm really bad at stealth and remembering tilesets, even after playing for so long. Ivara let's me take my time 🥹
17:38 Heirloom skins USED to be limited. Now only the bundle itself is limited, so you can buy the skin and all the trimmings after it's initial sale period with the bundle. But yes, Heirlooms are about double the cost of a deluxe skin (400p). They changed the way Heirlooms work after the massive initial backlash with the Frost and Mag Heirlooms. Really hope they come back...
@@stryfe0 Every time that I see mag heirloom I experience a VISCERAL physical and mental trauma response because I couldn't get enough money for it before the end of the year when I came back to Warframe, and it was my favorite skin. Period. Ever. In any game I have ever played. I would pay a hundred bucks for an account just with the mag heirloom
@@draconic_underlord5297bro u couldn't gather 80$ over 5 month. U have really bad financial situation. Even i living in 3rd world country managed to buy it with salary of 200$.
@@stryfe0Yeah they can’t. They were advertised as an exclusive item and that they would not be for sale past the cutoff point. If they brought them back it’d be a huge legal issue. Same thing would happen if they brought back Excal P
The youtuber space is pretty full with builds, but a new player perspective is missing. Builds that don't require 1000 of hours of grinding and simple builds that dont require the rare farming mods and weapons would probably fill a need since a lot of D2 players are coming over after the final shape.
Definitely need more beginner friendly builds. Also the beauty of this game as well is the trading system. I've gifted and traded my buddy the things he needed to feel powerful but not overly op
@@nadjibmecibah6478It's a good Quest in terms of feeling progression in the game. If i remember well, the Quests prior “The second Dream" and “The War Within" are very basic and don't provide a Lot for the Lore. You feel like you're just completing every Planet missions with no direction of what's next. Meaning most of the Quests and content after “The Second Dream" become More interesting, in fact, most veterans say you're still in the tutorial until you complete the star chart. I still remember when i Completed “The Sacrifice" thinking i was near the Endgame 😂, but i still had a lot of content to Play.
I came from destiny year one vanilla and warframe is everything destiny was not. Destiny had thr chance to truely be legendary and yet that bullshit is what we got.
love this. Ive been playing warframe for years and this is the first time ive watched someone play warframe purely out of joy and entertainment raather than watching tutorials or guides. Please stream warframe soon :))
Definitely has been this seems to have been a couple days ago. I came into the stream the other day and he was cracking relics and forgot to select one and was calling the game bad 😂
dont know if anyone told you already but since you were asking about the dollars to platinum ratio, one of the things you can get from the random daily login reward is a discount coupon that can be used to buy platinum (theres 25%, 50% and 75%) so while when it appears is random, if you wait you can get the most expensive plat bundle for 1/4 of the price
I'm unsure if it's truely random but many of my 75% platinum discounts happen when I return to playing the game after a break. It's either coincidence or they do increase the odds for returning members
@@Nanoqtran it's actually seen as a bit of a trick of the trade that if you just take a 3-4 day break you can usually get constant discount vouchers. You'll have to play for like 2-3 days to reset it and then go on another 3-4 day break. Legit if I want a specific skin or need like a reactor or catalyst I just take a few days off and get a discount
@@Nanoqtran probably. The game legit kinda rewards you for taking breaks. You literally leave for a few days and get a market or plat discount. And they don't even incentives you to use it or try to coerce you
Mactics when you "prestige" a warframe you reset it to level 0 and gain the ability to place one of those symbols in your mod slots on your warframe (or weapons, it is on anything that can slot mods). allows you to fit more mods and more higher level mods. You use an item called forma to do so, they look like little puzzle pieces.
Just an FYI, A lot of the mechanics of Warframe are NOT explained well. For the most part, there will usually be a "tutorial" button in the bottom right of a menu that will explain said mechanics. Additionally, after the first quest, Warframe doesn't give a good direction for where to go. I would recommend simply going towards unlocking the other planets in the system, and things will work out, mostly.
my only problem is i have maxed out the basic tenno, and i feel like i have softlocked myself, as the power of my suit is not high enough, is that like a grinding issue or something else? do i need better upgrades?
@@bananadongl3 Most of the power you get comes from the mods you have and how upgraded they are. Some Warframes are beefier and stronger doing things than others, so if you're using, say, Volt or Trinity (who are kinda squishy), building tougher ones like Rhino can help with survivability. Similar with weapons, upgrading mods is where most power comes from. Reactors (for Warframes and Companions) and Catalysts (for weapons) will double the mod capacity for higher grade mods, and applying forma to mod slots will cause matching mods' polarities to drain less, allowing you apply more mods.
since you were talking about cosmetics so much. the best thing about it are the Tennogen cosmetics (the ones that cant be bought for Plat, but only real money directly) every Tennogen Cosmetic was designed by a player/community member and submitted to Digital extremes, and when a submission makes it into the game, the player that designed the cosmetic gets a portion of every sale it makes. so if you buy a tennogen item, you support both the developer and the community member/player that designed it.
I'm MR20, with ~600 hours invested in this game, and I've only just caught up to current content. The person above me is correct, Warframe is a game that gets better the more you play. You could probably get to the same stage as where I am in half the time, but the best enjoyment you can have is to stop and smell the roses, and really take the time to try and engage with Warframe's many side systems. For example, fishing, it's so well done that it could be its own game. I paused my progression through the game, just to learn fishing. I've mastered it. Now, wherever possible, I can fill out Syndicate reputation by catching fish. It's meditative and much faster and more enjoyable than doing bounties 😊. But there is an endless font of such systems present in the game, and by rushing past them, you're missing half the game. Stop and smell the roses, my friend.
The super cool thing about the fashion is that not only does Digital Extremes make cool gear but they have contests for the community to make concept art/models and then they CREATE those skins/pieces by the artists and incorporate it into the game. So it supports the artist as well!
You're having fun, enjoying the gameplay, that's fantastic! I would recommend not hanging around when completing objectives, though. There's a lot-a-lot of missions to get through and you'll make more progress by finishing the individual missions quickly and moving on to places where you can earn more Exp and more weapons/warframes. There's so much to discover and it's waiting for you further on in the Star Chart. Oh, and to answer the question of 'Primes vs Regular' frames, there's approximately 4 years between the release of a new Warframe and the release of its Prime variant, so for about half of the Warframes you only have their basic variant. They release a new Prime roughly four times a year, so it cycles on what you can get and where. Primes are only 'better' than regular frames by a small margin, such as a higher base Health/Shield/Energy Pool/Armour, so it genuinely doesn't matter whether you only have a basic version or a Prime in terms of gameplay. Just keep up with the progress, follow the path through the planets, and keep having fun with it, you're doing great ^^
@@iakovospapaioannou7202 True, but you'll forgive me for overlooking that because they didn't use to. When Frost Prime was released he was exactly the same, except with a few extra Shield points, they added the base polarities later after the Mod Slot rework ^^
Seeing Cotton candy Samurai made my day dude, take your time tenno. It's a grind yes, challenges are hard the further in and you can pretty much be mad with power
Hey! I don't know who you are, but keep this series going! I love watching new players experience Warframe, also hope you get to see all of the exiting ways you can play the game later down the line. you have earned a sub mr. youtuber~ keep it up!
Warframe is an amazing game. I really started playing winter of 2022 but by the summer of 2023, I got too good at the game. I've played everything, used almost everything. I could start a Warframe TH-cam channel with how much I know about. Heat inherit, expedite set ups, armor strip nukes, etc. I would sit in simulacrum, steel path survival, steel path disruption, 1 shot solo archon hunts, solo eidolons. Everything I used turned into a steel path nuke, made guns 1 shot steel path demolists, etc. Even though I stopped playing, I am glad I did play because the journey was so much fun.
Yeah I no life it for about 10 months, got to MR3 prestige or whatever 2nd lot is called and stopped because it was too much of the same but might come back cos there's been a lot of new things added
Not gonna lie, this video (along with all the d2 b.s) got me to try this game. From the start, I asked a question in the chat, and right away people were quick to answer and give tips. I CANNOT wait until I get good at it lol. I have crap to learn but it’s cool to be part of a welcoming community.
Also mactics is gonna fit in so well with the Warframe group. His quality of videos I feel like once he gets some knowledge under his belt he could make some entertaining content.
I remember when I first started and I decided to farm some relics so I could earn some plat and trade for few mods I wanted. The guy I ended up trading with noticed I was new and decided to just start giving me stuff that was just leftovers for him since he was an endgame player. It was a huge boost to my progression and it showed me how great this community is.
I'm surprised that nobody pointed this out to him in chat, but you don't really need to pay for the premium currency, there's an in-game economy where people trade certain items for the premium currency.
Mactics… let me tell you something. I just came back to warframe after playing it years ago for a short amount of time and now I’m here to find you playing it now too? Imagine the level of dumbfounded I’ve been since learning this info. I’ve watched you for destiny builds but I’ve stopped playing destiny. And now you’re here and present in another game I’m really into. Super happy you’re loving the game. Looking forward to builds here in the future
To be honest every game that's 10+ years and still growing It must be doing something right... Love seeing a new Tenno on the rise, good luck with your farms!
As a comment said, yes there’s overpowered builds on TH-cam already, but there are no beginner friendly builds, all the builds on TH-cam are those who have played 100 plus hours, so a beginner build guide will help all the newest players who don’t have 100 hours in the game yet
Bruh how is it possible most TH-camrs are just now finding warframe? As a 11 year vet I’m actually astonished and glad more ppl are finding this (hidden gem?) or gem
Crazy to see you playing. I jumped on this between d1 and d2 but ended up playing d2 after a few years. Redownloaded this and start playing again a few weeks ago. Good to see the chief build master in it
I started playing warframe about a month ago after trying getting burnt out on destiny. I remember getting later into the game and missing the level of quality that your destiny build guides provide. I cannot wait to see you experience this game and start doing more and more builds. Much love and enjoy
One thing I really enjoy with warframe as well is each week the community people at warframe do a stream called primetime and interact with the player base to get feedback, grind for new stuff sometimes with the players, and show new upcoming things for the game/ teasers its super cool to see
As a long time warframe player, i welcome you, Tenno. And regarding on your question about build guide videos, yeah there are alot of people doing them for a long time that said theres alway room for new people for build guides, fashion frame and so on, so you're good brother 👍
I'm glad you're enjoying the game so far. I know it's an OVERWHELMED experience for new players but the community guidance is very supportive. Stay awesome, Tenno! 😎🐦🔥✨✨✨
Since it feels like none have said that to you: Sprint > bullet > Aim glide and look to the direction you want > crouch (ctrl) for redirect or extend > second jump > crouch > aim glide > look to where you want to land and heavy attack (click scroll)
When my friends urged me to move from Warframe to Destiny, they couldn't understand why I complained about how slow the game was. But once you're bullet jumping at Mach 2 through a Warframe mission, flying through tiny gaps, sliding into pipes, freeing hostages, and then getting to the extraction before the they've bled out, you'll understand.
Yeees!! It's so good to see you so hyped about another game,. As someone who's also spent most of his time on destiny (although I did play a little warframe) that's now made it my main game, you won't regret playing this game, it's an absolutely amazing experience.
Good luck starting bro Some little advices: - leveling to level 3o different guns and frames helps you get mastery, which unlocks you more guns and frames - All normal frames are farmable, same as almost all guns - Leveling guns and frames will give you more capacity for mods, which would make you do more dmg and resist more - Primes are somehow "skins" (they have little changes) and even theyre premium content, you can get their relics from missions and then, in relic missions get the prime parts to build the prime warframes and weapons
It’s really cool to see you playing, it’d also be really cool to see semi regular uploads of this, no one really exists in the WF TH-cam space that makes videos quite like yours
It's been really fun to watch you play! Been playing Warframe since Curse of Osiris era D2, and it has such a staggering scope of build options, grind and investment that is second to none.
Just found these videos, your journey is really making me reminisce about the good ol' days when I was new to the game. I do wish I could experience the game for the first time with everything it has to offer in its current state.
I just saw your previous video the other day and decided to sub. Super psyched that you uploaded! I been playing warframe for 4 years and it never gets old. Theres always something new. Welcome to the warframe community 🎉🎉
Hey man first just want to start off by saying I love ur content and ur channel was my go to for making my hunter meta, however, when I saw u started playing warframe It gave me a reason to start watching you again. Destiny is fun but it is not a game for solo players as all the end game level content is locked behind needing a group. I’m glad you have enjoyed warframe so far and it’s been fun watching someone start from scratch (something I haven’t experienced in over 10 years). It’s great to have a company that actually listens to one of the best communities in the gaming landscape!
Played it all afternoon yesterday, passed my first level Master test and really enjoying it. Much more so than i thought. I've clocked thousands of hours in D2 and can see myself doing the same here.
hope to see more gameplay of warframe, genuinely one of my favorite games to play, so happy you're playing it now. I hope to bump into you in Maroos bazaar or out in a mission sometime!
Dude, seeing a Destiny player wake up (Tenno) to the joy of Warframe, is genuinely a better experience than any Destiny expansion I've played. Warframe is weird, but it's got a lot to love. Welcome.
Welcome new Tenno! You are doing pretty good on the movement for a new player ngl. Pro Tip for movement: Bullet Jump -> Dash(Double Shift) -> Quickly after Dash hold right click for Aim Glide. This helps a lot for the open world map or for maps with large gaps etc.
For other new players, I'd recommend holding onto platinum for weapon and warframe slots. You have a very limited number to start, but you can get more from the free battle pass.
22:40 About affinity/experience, it works like this. As you play your gear (warframe/ Weapons/ Companion) all gain affinity and level up separately. As does Focus & Syndicate standing, but I don't think you need to worry about those yet. As things level up for the fist time (cap 30) that affinity also counts twords your Mastery level. When that fills up you will be permitted to take a test of your skills (I 100% encourage practice runs first as you can't take the true test more than 1X per day) and if you succeed YOU level up.. This affects many things, some subtle, some less so. The most evident one is all your unleveled stuff will have energy equal to what it would have had it been the level you are. So new stuff becomes more viable hot out of the foundary. There are things called forma that will add a symbol to the modding area (polarity) but reset the item to lv 0. This lets you use more expensive mode, but releveling the same item will not build up your mastery rank.
It fills me with so much warmth when i see someone new connect the dots to this game. So excited to see my favorite destiny youtuber start playing my favorite game
for the game's monetization i would also like to note that while you can get platinum from in game trading for free i would also like to know that often you get sales on the plat you can buy all the way up to 75%. That way you can get a lot of plat for a small amount of money
In case you didn't know btw, in the arsenal where you can make the different presets for your appearance. You can click and drag the preset tabs "A, B, C, etc..." two swap places. I just discovered this the other day and it makes changing out presets soooo much faster.
I started playing this game years ago, watched some TH-cam videos and tried to fumble around a bit but I would get so frustrated having more questions than answers, so I gave it up. And I’m realizing now that this game would be so amazing to play if I had a chat full of knowledgeable players telling me what to do lol. Watching you play it makes me want to redownload it.

Couple tips I'd give any new players: 1- do NOT sell your weapons/frames/pets until they get rank 30, each rank counts for your mastery rank, if you sell a lvl 10 skana, you'll have to get a new one and level it back up to 30 to get the missing mastery XP from the 20 ranks you missed on the weapon. 2- do NOT sell quest weapons, most are S tier and some are needed to unlock certain frames/weapons (i.e. Xoris for Protea, Paracesis for some sentient content).

17:38 Heirloom skins USED to be limited. Now only the bundle itself is limited, so you can buy the skin and all the trimmings after it's initial sale period with the bundle. But yes, Heirlooms are about double the cost of a deluxe skin (400p). They changed the way Heirlooms work after the massive initial backlash with the Frost and Mag Heirlooms. Really hope they come back...
I hear they can’t bring the Frost and Mag heirloom skins back cause of legal reasons.
@@stryfe0 Every time that I see mag heirloom I experience a VISCERAL physical and mental trauma response because I couldn't get enough money for it before the end of the year when I came back to Warframe, and it was my favorite skin.

The youtuber space is pretty full with builds, but a new player perspective is missing. Builds that don't require 1000 of hours of grinding and simple builds that dont require the rare farming mods and weapons would probably fill a need since a lot of D2 players are coming over after the final shape.
that's brilliant
YES THIS
Definitely need more beginner friendly builds. Also the beauty of this game as well is the trading system. I've gifted and traded my buddy the things he needed to feel powerful but not overly op
Absolutely, I can't count how many times I have seen a "Noob build" video that has mods you can't even get until after you complete the star chart.
Warframe ain’t got nobody who does build videos like Mactics tho

Second dream is the good part????? Im there rn

@@nadjibmecibah6478nice😁
@@nadjibmecibah6478It's a good Quest in terms of feeling progression in the game. If i remember well, the Quests prior “The second Dream" and “The War Within" are very basic and don't provide a Lot for the Lore. You feel like you're just completing every Planet missions with no direction of what's next.
Meaning most of the Quests and content after “The Second Dream" become More interesting, in fact, most veterans say you're still in the tutorial until you complete the star chart.
I still remember when i Completed “The Sacrifice" thinking i was near the Endgame 😂, but i still had a lot of content to Play.
Your not gonna regret playing this game. Its an absolute master piece and the story is absolutely beautiful
Wait till he gets to use umbra, he gonna make a vergal build out of that lol
It’s honestly a gem, it is so unique and has so much personality and content, such a cool game
When was the story added? I remember playing it in 2017, back then it seemed to only have instanced strikes haha
You're* dumfuq
@@DerLuukeethe story started getting more attention in 2015 with the first big cinematic quest
As someone who played both im glad to see more d2 players move to warframe
As someone that has played both I agree
I came from destiny year one vanilla and warframe is everything destiny was not. Destiny had thr chance to truely be legendary and yet that bullshit is what we got.
Agreed, been loving warframe since my friend got me into it
What can I say except you're welcome!
I need to try this it looks great
love this. Ive been playing warframe for years and this is the first time ive watched someone play warframe purely out of joy and entertainment raather than watching tutorials or guides. Please stream warframe soon :))
Definitely has been this seems to have been a couple days ago. I came into the stream the other day and he was cracking relics and forgot to select one and was calling the game bad 😂
dont know if anyone told you already but since you were asking about the dollars to platinum ratio, one of the things you can get from the random daily login reward is a discount coupon that can be used to buy platinum (theres 25%, 50% and 75%) so while when it appears is random, if you wait you can get the most expensive plat bundle for 1/4 of the price
I'm unsure if it's truely random but many of my 75% platinum discounts happen when I return to playing the game after a break.
It's either coincidence or they do increase the odds for returning members
@@Nanoqtran it's actually seen as a bit of a trick of the trade that if you just take a 3-4 day break you can usually get constant discount vouchers. You'll have to play for like 2-3 days to reset it and then go on another 3-4 day break. Legit if I want a specific skin or need like a reactor or catalyst I just take a few days off and get a discount
@@zeothesnowwolf2937 I wonder if they do this so it closes the gap between people who can play a lot and people who can't (working or busy)
@@Nanoqtran probably. The game legit kinda rewards you for taking breaks. You literally leave for a few days and get a market or plat discount. And they don't even incentives you to use it or try to coerce you
@@Nanoqtran i think their AI does that. usually when im leveling up stuff i get an affinity booster on the next daily loggin
Mactics when you "prestige" a warframe you reset it to level 0 and gain the ability to place one of those symbols in your mod slots on your warframe (or weapons, it is on anything that can slot mods). allows you to fit more mods and more higher level mods. You use an item called forma to do so, they look like little puzzle pieces.
Just an FYI, A lot of the mechanics of Warframe are NOT explained well. For the most part, there will usually be a "tutorial" button in the bottom right of a menu that will explain said mechanics.
Additionally, after the first quest, Warframe doesn't give a good direction for where to go. I would recommend simply going towards unlocking the other planets in the system, and things will work out, mostly.
In other words, "click the blinking mission typically at the top of the screen to be directed to the next important thing."
He's already up to the second dream xD. Check his twitch stream
@@DeeJay5K he really is? wow😅
my only problem is i have maxed out the basic tenno, and i feel like i have softlocked myself, as the power of my suit is not high enough, is that like a grinding issue or something else? do i need better upgrades?
@@bananadongl3 Most of the power you get comes from the mods you have and how upgraded they are. Some Warframes are beefier and stronger doing things than others, so if you're using, say, Volt or Trinity (who are kinda squishy), building tougher ones like Rhino can help with survivability. Similar with weapons, upgrading mods is where most power comes from. Reactors (for Warframes and Companions) and Catalysts (for weapons) will double the mod capacity for higher grade mods, and applying forma to mod slots will cause matching mods' polarities to drain less, allowing you apply more mods.
since you were talking about cosmetics so much. the best thing about it are the Tennogen cosmetics (the ones that cant be bought for Plat, but only real money directly)
every Tennogen Cosmetic was designed by a player/community member and submitted to Digital extremes, and when a submission makes it into the game, the player that designed the cosmetic gets a portion of every sale it makes. so if you buy a tennogen item, you support both the developer and the community member/player that designed it.
Baby Tenno getting their legs is always fun to watch. Like a nice, big, nose full of nostalgia.
Your color choices would make the lead DE Community Coordinator smile.
I am in total agreement with the title of this video. I'm about to start on Venus but I'm having a total blast
2200 hours into the game and it’s a grind but the game only gets better the more you play. This game has rewarded my time more than any other.
I'm MR20, with ~600 hours invested in this game, and I've only just caught up to current content.
The person above me is correct, Warframe is a game that gets better the more you play. You could probably get to the same stage as where I am in half the time, but the best enjoyment you can have is to stop and smell the roses, and really take the time to try and engage with Warframe's many side systems.
For example, fishing, it's so well done that it could be its own game. I paused my progression through the game, just to learn fishing. I've mastered it. Now, wherever possible, I can fill out Syndicate reputation by catching fish. It's meditative and much faster and more enjoyable than doing bounties 😊. But there is an endless font of such systems present in the game, and by rushing past them, you're missing half the game.
Stop and smell the roses, my friend.
16:20 ah yes, the exoskeleton...
🤣🤣🤣🤣
He's not wrong 😂
The super cool thing about the fashion is that not only does Digital Extremes make cool gear but they have contests for the community to make concept art/models and then they CREATE those skins/pieces by the artists and incorporate it into the game. So it supports the artist as well!
Pretty sure I remember a story that said that someone managed to pay for his sister's schooling fund thanks to the tennogen program which is amazing
You're having fun, enjoying the gameplay, that's fantastic!
I would recommend not hanging around when completing objectives, though. There's a lot-a-lot of missions to get through and you'll make more progress by finishing the individual missions quickly and moving on to places where you can earn more Exp and more weapons/warframes. There's so much to discover and it's waiting for you further on in the Star Chart.
Oh, and to answer the question of 'Primes vs Regular' frames, there's approximately 4 years between the release of a new Warframe and the release of its Prime variant, so for about half of the Warframes you only have their basic variant. They release a new Prime roughly four times a year, so it cycles on what you can get and where. Primes are only 'better' than regular frames by a small margin, such as a higher base Health/Shield/Energy Pool/Armour, so it genuinely doesn't matter whether you only have a basic version or a Prime in terms of gameplay.
Just keep up with the progress, follow the path through the planets, and keep having fun with it, you're doing great ^^
also prime have more base polarity :)
@@iakovospapaioannou7202 True, but you'll forgive me for overlooking that because they didn't use to. When Frost Prime was released he was exactly the same, except with a few extra Shield points, they added the base polarities later after the Mod Slot rework ^^
Seeing Cotton candy Samurai made my day dude, take your time tenno. It's a grind yes, challenges are hard the further in and you can pretty much be mad with power
IM LIVE PLAYING RIGHT NOW BY THE WAY twitch.tv/mactics
Hey! I don't know who you are, but keep this series going! I love watching new players experience Warframe, also hope you get to see all of the exiting ways you can play the game later down the line. you have earned a sub mr. youtuber~ keep it up!
Wait till he plays the first real story
Warframe is an amazing game. I really started playing winter of 2022 but by the summer of 2023, I got too good at the game. I've played everything, used almost everything. I could start a Warframe TH-cam channel with how much I know about. Heat inherit, expedite set ups, armor strip nukes, etc. I would sit in simulacrum, steel path survival, steel path disruption, 1 shot solo archon hunts, solo eidolons. Everything I used turned into a steel path nuke, made guns 1 shot steel path demolists, etc. Even though I stopped playing, I am glad I did play because the journey was so much fun.
Yeah I no life it for about 10 months, got to MR3 prestige or whatever 2nd lot is called and stopped because it was too much of the same but might come back cos there's been a lot of new things added
Saw the first video, clicked on his channel to find more warframe videos, let’s just say I wasn’t disappointed 🙏🏽😂
1:17 this reminds me of megans colors in her frames
His are actually good though
Had the same though someone to match Megan color choices
Mr Beastframe
Not gonna lie, this video (along with all the d2 b.s) got me to try this game. From the start, I asked a question in the chat, and right away people were quick to answer and give tips. I CANNOT wait until I get good at it lol. I have crap to learn but it’s cool to be part of a welcoming community.
Also mactics is gonna fit in so well with the Warframe group. His quality of videos I feel like once he gets some knowledge under his belt he could make some entertaining content.
everybody has their moment of "it clicked finally" when it comes to the movement of warframe! once that muscle memory hits, it truly is mind blowing!
I remember when I first started and I decided to farm some relics so I could earn some plat and trade for few mods I wanted. The guy I ended up trading with noticed I was new and decided to just start giving me stuff that was just leftovers for him since he was an endgame player. It was a huge boost to my progression and it showed me how great this community is.
DUDE PLEASE KEEP RELEASING VIDS ON THIS ITS SO ENTERTAINING AND IM SO EZCITED FOR YOU
Wait till bro gets the nataruuk 😂
Glad to seen a new Tenno always feel free to ask around from help Warframe tends to be super friendly and helpful Community
I'm surprised that nobody pointed this out to him in chat, but you don't really need to pay for the premium currency, there's an in-game economy where people trade certain items for the premium currency.
And with a new prime warframe coming out next week, he could probably make quite a bit of platinum if he really wanted to.

Mactics… let me tell you something. I just came back to warframe after playing it years ago for a short amount of time and now I’m here to find you playing it now too? Imagine the level of dumbfounded I’ve been since learning this info. I’ve watched you for destiny builds but I’ve stopped playing destiny. And now you’re here and present in another game I’m really into. Super happy you’re loving the game. Looking forward to builds here in the future
To be honest every game that's 10+ years and still growing It must be doing something right... Love seeing a new Tenno on the rise, good luck with your farms!
im close to 1000 hours in warframe now and still have so much to do and they keep adding more, welcome dude, hope youre having as mucvh fun as i have
As a comment said, yes there’s overpowered builds on TH-cam already, but there are no beginner friendly builds, all the builds on TH-cam are those who have played 100 plus hours, so a beginner build guide will help all the newest players who don’t have 100 hours in the game yet
Bruh how is it possible most TH-camrs are just now finding warframe? As a 11 year vet I’m actually astonished and glad more ppl are finding this (hidden gem?) or gem
Why is that lollipop Excalibur such a classic though?😂😂
Crazy to see you playing. I jumped on this between d1 and d2 but ended up playing d2 after a few years. Redownloaded this and start playing again a few weeks ago. Good to see the chief build master in it
13:01 Warframe in a Nutshell :
I hope we get videos of you progressing through the story really wanna see your reaction to all the big story points!
Bruh I’ve been playing this off and on for 8 years and bro already has a cooler Excal than I do 😂
I started playing warframe about a month ago after trying getting burnt out on destiny. I remember getting later into the game and missing the level of quality that your destiny build guides provide. I cannot wait to see you experience this game and start doing more and more builds. Much love and enjoy
He looks like a Commercial For Shasta
One thing I really enjoy with warframe as well is each week the community people at warframe do a stream called primetime and interact with the player base to get feedback, grind for new stuff sometimes with the players, and show new upcoming things for the game/ teasers its super cool to see
As a long time warframe player, i welcome you, Tenno.
And regarding on your question about build guide videos, yeah there are alot of people doing them for a long time that said theres alway room for new people for build guides, fashion frame and so on, so you're good brother 👍
I'm glad you're enjoying the game so far. I know it's an OVERWHELMED experience for new players but the community guidance is very supportive. Stay awesome, Tenno! 😎🐦🔥✨✨✨
Since it feels like none have said that to you:
Sprint > bullet > Aim glide and look to the direction you want > crouch (ctrl) for redirect or extend > second jump > crouch > aim glide > look to where you want to land and heavy attack (click scroll)
When my friends urged me to move from Warframe to Destiny, they couldn't understand why I complained about how slow the game was. But once you're bullet jumping at Mach 2 through a Warframe mission, flying through tiny gaps, sliding into pipes, freeing hostages, and then getting to the extraction before the they've bled out, you'll understand.
Yeees!! It's so good to see you so hyped about another game,. As someone who's also spent most of his time on destiny (although I did play a little warframe) that's now made it my main game, you won't regret playing this game, it's an absolutely amazing experience.
Good luck starting bro
Some little advices:
- leveling to level 3o different guns and frames helps you get mastery, which unlocks you more guns and frames
- All normal frames are farmable, same as almost all guns
- Leveling guns and frames will give you more capacity for mods, which would make you do more dmg and resist more
- Primes are somehow "skins" (they have little changes) and even theyre premium content, you can get their relics from missions and then, in relic missions get the prime parts to build the prime warframes and weapons
It’s really cool to see you playing, it’d also be really cool to see semi regular uploads of this, no one really exists in the WF TH-cam space that makes videos quite like yours
Movement tip! You don’t have to get to the end of the slide to bullet jump. You can bullet jump the moment you’re in a slide
😮I'm glad more players are joining the community I'm waiting for 1999 😂🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 been grinding the first descendant 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Watching new people start their warframe journey makes almost every warframe player happy
It's been really fun to watch you play! Been playing Warframe since Curse of Osiris era D2, and it has such a staggering scope of build options, grind and investment that is second to none.
Just found these videos, your journey is really making me reminisce about the good ol' days when I was new to the game. I do wish I could experience the game for the first time with everything it has to offer in its current state.
I just saw your previous video the other day and decided to sub.
Super psyched that you uploaded!
I been playing warframe for 4 years and it never gets old. Theres always something new.
Welcome to the warframe community 🎉🎉
I'm also really glad you're starting warframe to bring more players into warframe, we ALL love seeing new players.
Hey man first just want to start off by saying I love ur content and ur channel was my go to for making my hunter meta, however, when I saw u started playing warframe It gave me a reason to start watching you again. Destiny is fun but it is not a game for solo players as all the end game level content is locked behind needing a group. I’m glad you have enjoyed warframe so far and it’s been fun watching someone start from scratch (something I haven’t experienced in over 10 years). It’s great to have a company that actually listens to one of the best communities in the gaming landscape!
Played it all afternoon yesterday, passed my first level Master test and really enjoying it. Much more so than i thought.
I've clocked thousands of hours in D2 and can see myself doing the same here.
so happy you're trying warframe!
the build crafting potential is this game is outstanding
Can’t wait to see him slowly figure out the story, every Ah ha! Moment was pure bliss for me
always happy to welcome a fellow of the 501st to our fashion simulator
Destiny 2 player here and your making me want to try warframe again
Just found these videos and enjoying watching. The warframe community is very generous when it comes to gifting.
Being mastery 32, I love watching the baby tenno find their footing and discovering the game and all it has to offer
I eagerly await every new mactic warframe video now, cant wait for you to reach our endgame content
Dont worry. Warframes dating sim part is still in development. Its coming soon though
hope to see more gameplay of warframe, genuinely one of my favorite games to play, so happy you're playing it now. I hope to bump into you in Maroos bazaar or out in a mission sometime!
Dude, seeing a Destiny player wake up (Tenno) to the joy of Warframe, is genuinely a better experience than any Destiny expansion I've played. Warframe is weird, but it's got a lot to love. Welcome.
Welcome new Tenno! You are doing pretty good on the movement for a new player ngl. Pro Tip for movement: Bullet Jump -> Dash(Double Shift) -> Quickly after Dash hold right click for Aim Glide. This helps a lot for the open world map or for maps with large gaps etc.
For other new players, I'd recommend holding onto platinum for weapon and warframe slots. You have a very limited number to start, but you can get more from the free battle pass.
seein you and others playing warframe got me back on the game after a year!
22:40 About affinity/experience, it works like this. As you play your gear (warframe/ Weapons/ Companion) all gain affinity and level up separately. As does Focus & Syndicate standing, but I don't think you need to worry about those yet. As things level up for the fist time (cap 30) that affinity also counts twords your Mastery level. When that fills up you will be permitted to take a test of your skills (I 100% encourage practice runs first as you can't take the true test more than 1X per day) and if you succeed YOU level up.. This affects many things, some subtle, some less so. The most evident one is all your unleveled stuff will have energy equal to what it would have had it been the level you are. So new stuff becomes more viable hot out of the foundary. There are things called forma that will add a symbol to the modding area (polarity) but reset the item to lv 0. This lets you use more expensive mode, but releveling the same item will not build up your mastery rank.
If he likes the Paris MK-1, I'm sure he'll loooove the Nataruk lol.
This ride has been fantastic to follow live and these short videos are gonna continue being so fun to go back snd watch.

Remembering when I tried this game out during a dry spell on destiny 2... fell in love with it just like you did man. This is nostalgia incarnate lol
I NEED MORE, PLEASE 😭
Watching a new Tenno take their first steps never gets old!
It fills me with so much warmth when i see someone new connect the dots to this game. So excited to see my favorite destiny youtuber start playing my favorite game
It's honestly beautiful to see how much joy you're experiencing.
While I was always a diehard D2 player with over 11k hours whenever I wasn't playing D2 I was playing Warframe. Game is so good in so many ways
Keep going please! Warframe has so much to offer!
excited to see you progress thru the story. please keep these coming.
Favourite D2 youtuber playing my fave game. Its a good time to be alive. Great content as always!
Gifting in-game items to people that make more money than you in a day than you in a month is mind-blowing
for the game's monetization i would also like to note that while you can get platinum from in game trading for free i would also like to know that often you get sales on the plat you can buy all the way up to 75%. That way you can get a lot of plat for a small amount of money
You’re single handily making me want to try this game again. Definitely enjoyed when I played
In case you didn't know btw, in the arsenal where you can make the different presets for your appearance. You can click and drag the preset tabs "A, B, C, etc..." two swap places. I just discovered this the other day and it makes changing out presets soooo much faster.
You're making me remember how fun this game was before I started power levelling everything and got burnt out
kinda wanna try it again now
I started playing this game years ago, watched some TH-cam videos and tried to fumble around a bit but I would get so frustrated having more questions than answers, so I gave it up. And I’m realizing now that this game would be so amazing to play if I had a chat full of knowledgeable players telling me what to do lol. Watching you play it makes me want to redownload it.
