I like it...though, I still find myself hating the standing system and some "softlocks" because of it that always pulls up my pulse because I hate the monotone chores they give me as the best way to befriend a given faction just so I can make, for example, a better Amp quicker I may have ADHD that isn't diagnosed but I ain't that autistic😅 (no offense) Oh, and the Riven mod trade. Man, do I lose my mind understanding that the mod that says unveiled is unrevealed and the veiled is unveiled in player terms if you want to trade. My whole clan needed to explain it to me to barely get these
its wholesome . but i think u should have mention the arena endo farmers . they r toxic as hell i have never seen toxic people like those. thanks to them i dont know where to get endos quickly so i can upgrade and sell mods to make a bit of plats. if any new player see this comment then i would suggest staying away from them until u know the game like back of ur hand. but except them the whole community is really nice so feel free try it and the millions of tenno out there. ✌
Yep, I am really happy that we have Steve as the CEO and Tencent as main shareholder. As far as I know, Tencent doesn't really interfere with their games which I respect ^^
True, my friend played it like 1000 something hours, build the dojo by himself and got a ton of prime without spending any money meanwhile i spending almost 1000 bucks mostly on fashion 😂
I don't think they are not gaining money it's actually smart to make the topup currency same as the trading currency in game there's a lot of p2w lazy people edit I like to add this remember every platinum we have rotating from player to player as trade currency is someone else topup money
Agree to disagree host migration all time sucks and steel path where you need all 3 spy objectives and random join and ruin all also in archon hunts too
A game that doesn't lock content or gear behind fomo or lootboxes, brings "exclusive" stuff back to weekly rotations, deletes slot-machine mechanics because a player spent like 700$ on it and has a lead game director that licks her nosetrail in the weekly stream, you can confidently say: The time was never better to start with Warframe. This game and the devs are fantastic👍
Ain't that the truth for almost every mmorpg? I remember starting World of Warcraft as humble adventurer in a forest helping the normal people...20 years fast forward and i'm probably worse than most of the "villains"
Warframe is like the perfect relationship i can dream about. Respectful , honest and loving. I played since the start 11 years and at "only" 3k2 hours as i'm righting. I never felt forced to play. I played "on an off" for all those years but never went far. Always kept my daily loging streak back in the days and to day i always come and check even for a couple of minutes. Never mist a prime frame but you also have more then a year for it. Back in the day i also played Wow , i still love it but warframe respect me, my time and money. Wow make you pay no matter what. You have a crazy week , don't feel like playing it , don't make progress , " i don't care give me 13,99 and don't forget next month" . Warframe on the other hand tell you. " you,re seek , don't have time right now, you want to play another game this week or month? No problem take your time , everything will be here when you comeback and even more". Just like in a relationship, when i feel respect for my effort i'm gonna stick with it, trought good and bad and of course i'm gonna support it. I really don't understand people complaining about the money side off the game. It's free to play and if after 60 ,150 ,270 hours don't feel like putting 20 $ when you get a 50% or 75% reduction for platnium. You are a awfull person. It would be like listening to a street musiscian performing a 2 hours concert and walking away not giving anything and expect to be free from the start. I spend a lot of money in the game and it feels right because the game give me back in return, every slot i bought are here to stay , every color palette i can use, all of that i can keep. The monthly fee wow take from me always seemed better spend on warframe, the game that always respected me. The game is fair. I always wanted to grind for my stuff and it really became my "sense of pride and accomplishement". " i got all of it by my hard work" . The game give me the oppotunity to get it for free and i want more for that it only seem fair that a give back and support the devs. I hope they will be another 11years and 3000hours .
warframes missions aren’t randomly generated. they are tilesets. even the order of the rooms isn’t completely random. every room is hand made and they have rules for what rooms can ajoin other rooms. this is nothing like, say minecraft or no mans sky. (both fantastically mostly randomly generated worlds, but nothing like warframes maps)
warframe is the only game that i have ever spent a good amount of money (mainly just on cosmetics and some annoying things i don't feel like grinding) on because i want to support the devs. The amount of content this game gives out for free.99 is absolutely insane.
0:42 bruh, that’s absolutely true. I looked at First Descendant and was initially interested until looking into just how incredibly bland and a bad rip-off of Warframe/Destiny it was that it literally made me wanna play Warframe again after not playing in 3 years lmao.
Same lmao Played it, thought "damn this is boring", left it for a week only to come back thinking "maybe i'm looking at it as a Warframe player, maybe if I give it a legit chance it might be fun", but nope, played it for like an hour or two, almost fell asleep, uninstalled
I myself kinda still had a good time with TFD, but I think it really got a lot of people to the point where they were like "Wait, wasn't there this other Game out there?" xD
Heck they are still streamlining the new player experience. There was a massive workshop dropped recently showing more then 10 improvements listed with the next update. I I’m excited to see these changes because it helps both new players and older ones. “Warframe is here for you” and it will be as we all lift together, especially when times get rough.
Warframe and DE don't give a shit about us. Only about our money. Especially new players that they can rip off as they did when they launched prime resurgence.
@@Luinta They took the Platinum out of the Packs and replaced it with Endo while keeping the prices of the packs that included Platinum. When complaints of veteran players started coming in they stated that they could not adjust the packs for the rotation and just rolled with selling the packs without Platinum for the Prices of the Packs with Platinum.They could have A: refund all players and remove the Endo from the Game the second they realized what's going on B: adjust prices or C: remove the packs from the shop. They didn't.
As mentioned in the The First Descendant reddit... That game's release generated a lot of comments like "This is just a Warframe, but worse" and got a lot of people actually interested in Warframe.
All Warframe has to do to crush 1st Descendant are three simple things: 1) Keep developing the game at the pace they have been 2) Keep the prices in the shop fair (and keep the Prime relic farming fair as it has been) 3) Release more skimpy Ember skins to pull over the horndogs from 1stDes.
Warframe makes me feel like the people making it care about me. I've lost that feeling from a lot of other game developers. It's easy to be a fan of the game, even though it isn't perfect... what game is? This one, however, has heart and is willing to share it with the player. If it were a person, I'd hug 'em.
A note for those jumping in, and getting to the point of burnout; take breaks. DE has stated themselves multiple times that if you aren't enjoying yourself, you should put the game down for a while. Warframe will still be here when you're ready to hop back in.
Hear, hear! I started Warframe, couldn’t get used to the third-person perspective, and dropped it before getting off Earth. I came back years later during Covid, and I got hooked. I haven’t stopped since, and now I have 1.5k hours in the game. If you get tired of it, put it down for a while, it’ll be here when you come back. And probably with some new content to enjoy, too.
I played Destiny for 10 years and bought every collectors edition on Xbox and the platinum editions on my PC. Spent about, $10,000 on my ten years including, $50 every season on silver purchases. I'm no slouch when it comes to grind for guns and armor. Spent countless hours farming catalysts in the Shattered Throne Thrailway before it was Nurfed, and you had to use Shiro Chi checkpoint. But I digress. I got tired of Destiny and was looking for a change, and one of my raiding buddies said to check out this game. I was hooked. This is what I was looking for out of Destiny and never got. I look forward to grinding this out for the next 10 years.
It’s so funny to me because I have over a thousand hours on destiny and recently i remembered that warframe exists and is free so I decided to try it. Is this how it feels when the devs actually care about the players 🤯
I started playing this game back in 2021. I completed the first story mission which teaches you all the basic movement mechanisms of the game and then the open world was unlocked and I was so overwhelmed that I stopped playing altogether. Then in 2023, I started playing Valorant because my friends were playing it and I needed a distraction so that I can recover from the emotional trauma caused by my father's death in 2022. But I found that game to be so toxic that instead of coming out of the depression, I started sinking more and more into it. That's when I decided to give Warframe another chance and boy, oh boy...what a great decision that was! I discovered this channel on TH-cam and the reddit community simultaneously which improved my playing experience a lot and I actually started enjoying the game and all that helped me heal and get out of the depression. Special shoutout to the reddit community and to all Tennos out there...I have not a seen a more friendly, supporting and nurturing community in any other game.
Warframe is special to me, Because it feels like a game that isn't afraid to fail. They try their hand at everything, trying to put their own spin on things, and it doesn't always work! It fails, They have failed before! But the Team for warframe never feels like they are afraid to actually try something.
IMO warframes capacity to be fun is massively determined by your drive to get deeper into the game, many of my friends have tried getting into it and given up before it gets really good. Hell I have up my first try playing it and came back later to realize what I missed.
When I first started playing Warframe, I had picked Excalibur as my first warframe. I liked him but wasn't sure he was for me, so I tried crafting a new frame (Mag). Well, I think I did a public game with a Dev and after a mission I got an Email saying that they feel like Excalibur wasn't the right frame for me, and they gave me a code for a free Volt from the market. I kept that Volt up until I got Volt Prime. With so many things going on in the world of gaming It's refreshing to see that there's still devs who not only love their game but will actively try to improve the player's experience
Monetization: You forgot about tennogen that can only be bought by real money BUT a portion of that money goes to the creator of the skin(which isnt Digital Extremes)
As a destiny player, I think the rise of popularity is that destiny players are trying Warframe for the first time, this is because bungie has recently been laying off a lot of employees and the game is sitting in a hot dumpster right now.
I'm a Destiny player that's been playing Warframe since October last year when Bungue laid off Michael Salvatore. The game is so much more fun than Destiny. Any Destiny Player will enjoy it. On top of it being completely free and DE being the GOATS of Game Developers to where youactually want to spend money on the game's MTX to support them.
First descendent bringing the genre into the mainstream Destiny 2 reaching its finale before bungie getting absolutely gutted And warframe 99 being hype as hell and rebs team seeming to release nothing but positives aince they took over (sure there was the dante and nezha nerfs but even that wasnt so bad) Its time for a second golden age of warframe
@@Joemama-xw2wy i dont play nezha so i have no clue what the nerf even was ngl xD i just remember hearing a lot of fuss about nezha during the dante line of sight stuff
I've been telling TFD player to farm forma shouldn't be an 8 hour grind fest its crazy even for us warframe player, but because some of them play TFD as their first looter shooter they have no idea how bad the grind is in TFD.
@@rushdrift I have my clan playing all together TFD....yes it has some grinding...but mostly you can target farm everything from relics,weapons,mods because it has in built that system which is very helpful....they restrain you from building multiple parts at one time but the game is fun and the storyline is good and no messed up like warframe....whoever you ask about the story of warframe nobody really knows what happened....DE of course after the new war quests we supposed to go to TAU ..that's why excaliburs umbra mods indicate that 🤔....but DE I THINK they are lazy...not continuing the story of warframes going to Tau ...and they could do it plain and simple to travel to proxima where Tau system would be with our railjack..which railjack is something unique....I do not think there is a game like warframe which has space battles like the railjack missions...still warframe has the best example of how a free to play game should be!
I've tried to get into warframe multiple times in the past and it never clicked, now that destiny is over (and completely dead to me) I gave it another try and I have been completely hooked. Just completed The Second Dream a few days ago and I'm definitely gonna stick with it, the story from that alone makes me want to delve into all the lore.
Honestly DE to me is what Bungie used to Be back in there Golden Days Innovative and constantly Cooking I hope DE never looses themselves like Bungie has
To be fair DE did lose themselves in the 2019-2021 era which we all refer to as the dark ages of Warframe Ever since Rebb took over though things have been looking bright
Warframe is my fav game right now. Just endless stuff to do even after 700hrs, you can always farm frames.. then subsume them to crate your own versions. It's a great game & I also would pay for it. The fact it's free it's a no brainer to try it out :)
I swear I'm just waiting for the point where all abilities are subsumable and we get a "blank" / Personal frame where we can just mess around with any and every ability on a frame
@@Xephyranth the release version of the subsume come pretty close to that. you could still only change 1 ability but you could take every abilitity you want.
@@Xephyranth I would love if they threw all the abilities that were scrapped or couldn't fit in with a set theme and let us choose them like a zaw before locking in the frame (probably like "hardening" the helminth into the metallic material frames are made of).
As a Destiny player that jumped ship this week, I'm having a ball. The depth of buildcrafting in both armour and weapons is amazing. Plus, the community is fantastic compared to the toxic, jock mentality that Destiny attracts. Should have done it sooner. And your channel is great, Subbed !
As a recent First Descendent escapee, I can honestly say the Warframe grind, if you can call it that, is far less than the grindfest found in the First Descendent. Two months in, and I am MR 12 and 67% through the star chart but not feeling the need to rush anything. Cheers.
The argument that ‘buying’ gear in warframe makes the gear un-earned is fundamentally wrong. I don’t buy platinum directly, but I do buy Prime Access accessory bundles and occasionally the whole prime access bundle. And guess what? I earned it. I earned it because my job includes climbing up to 280 foot towers by ladder in the coastal Texas heat at the worst of times, and plodding around working jobs on the ground at the best of times. My grind is often a physical one.
As long as purchases don't buy victory over others, I support the option. Grind at a job, or grind at the game. Your choice. As long as simply having the toys doesn't guarantee victory. We're good. Players still need to have good builds sure, but they also have to know how to make those builds work. It's not even just about what order to smash the powers. Timing and synergy matters in many cases.
@@NotoriousNickNorris oh for sure. When I started playing warfarm back in 2014 I was purely free to play. I only have so much platinum now because I get the prime access packs enough to have stocked up on plat. I still actively grind stuff out though, esp things that HAVE to be farmed, like Kuva and Tenet weapons
That's what I'm saying. I can never wrap my head around why some people get so mad over pay to play players. I feel you. And I think you're doine everything right ;)
Former d2 player here can confirm d2 blew itselve up and my entire clan switches to warframe now. Its so much more fun and we having a blast i hope that continues for a long time
Not pay-to-win. Something more like "somebody pay to you get things faster if you want it". I mean, somebody will get plat, you'll sell stuff for them for their plat, bang, you have plat to get your stuff faster/easier.
Definitely not too late to start playing. I just started about a year ago and it’s pretty much all I’ve been playing. 700 hours in and I’m working my way through steel path now. With all of the QoL updates there’s probably never been a better time to start playing. And Warframe doesn’t suffer the same content vaulting issue that destiny has, so new players don’t have to worry about missing out on entire campaigns worth of content.
Pre-Alpha and beyond tester for Warframe, I came across this game as just an ad for a temp testing job, even after i was done with the Pre-Alpha testing I still continued to play and have been since then, Warframe is 100 percent my comfort game and Will stay that way till the day I pass away. I highly recommend any and all to atleast give the game a few chances to show what truly has become an amazing (and still getting better) Free to play game.
I started warframe the day you posted this video, I’m starting to understand it kinda as an ex destiny player, the material grinding system at least feels similar, honestly my biggest complaints have been about how restricting the game feels. You don’t get many weapon slots, or warframe slots, and finding a weapon that feels good is.. hard. But I’m guessing that really isn’t an issue after a couple weeks? Aside from the above I’m having a great experience so far.
Having played both, I'll keep it real- there are very few weapons that even approach an average destiny weapon. Part of that comes from it being a third person shooter, I think, but also unfortunately a lot of the early game weapons... just kinda suck. I'd recommend trying out the Lex early on, its kinda close to a destiny hand cannon. There's a bow you get from a lategame quest called the Nataruk which feels about as good if not better than Destiny bows do. The real sauce comes from the Incarnon weapons which you can get access to from a late game activity called "Steel Path circuits". Not gonna get into all of it here (google and youtube guides are your best friend for Warframe in general) but the Incarnon weapons are probably the most comparable to Destiny exotics. Build up a meter by landing headshots and then you have a giga supercharged version of that weapon that behaves completely differently from its normal version. For example, the Lex I mentioned earlier can be turned into an Incarnon version that, when charged, shoots refrigerator- sized bullets that one shot basically anything you shoot it at if you build it out with the right stats.
the way you get more slots is by example, maxing frames and wapons to upgrade your mastery rank, each rank you will get some new addtional slots for frames and weapons, sometimes you can geth them to through the "seasonPass" aka nightwave. but the best way is just to maxing weapons and frames. Playing the story helps too. Oh and dont forget your first big approach should be to complete the starsystem, with that you will enable the steelpath mode(It is in doom so called"Nightmare Mode") and you will be able to hop on any normal starchart mission with others.💪
As far as the monetisation goes, here was my experience - I bought a starter pack for $12 AUD after playing 100hrs for free, I got some stuff and a few hundred Plat. I went to buy a weapon with that Platinum, and it showed (alongside the premium price tag) that I could buy it with the ingame currency instead AND that I had all the resources to craft it. This info wasn't hidden, or obfuscated. I opted to buy the blueprint with ingame currency, and have it crafted overnight, and hold my Platinum for another day.
I didn't even give warframe a glance the first time I "saw" it, it was my first time online with the PlayStation store and my dad was in the room at the time(2017) and my dad pointed out "hey..... What's that", hah.....space ninjas and it's free..... And now I thank my dad for my first grindy game and still loving the game more and more every year
I liked Limbo. Limbo being in my squad as well as playing as Limbo. But they "nerfed" the time-stop mechanic twice. Can't make art with projectiles anymore. Can't create walls of bullets anymore. Sad.
Played the game back in 2017, didnt like it. Tried again in 2020, this time there was more things to do and a bunch of new characters to pick (even tough only played umbra) so I played for around 300 hours. Now, after playing TFD I came to to the game with a collector's mentality, I want to build everything and and see how much more this game can impress me. ❤
The thing is you can take very very long breaks and come back without having missed 400 limited events and get bombed with like thousands of notifications- at least in my experience, I’m currently burnt out from grinding months on end (I literally played like 120 hours in the span of a month)
I have almost 10k plat in my account thanks to discounts and packages that offered great value. Even living in Brazil with a weak currency, I've managed to accumulate a lot of plat, often getting 75% discounts. I've bought legacy and Ember packages, and my experience with the game's premium currency has been very positive. Since I don't have time to farm due to work, I feel I deserve these weapons and prime frames just as much as anyone else.
As a Destiny player who wanted to find a new game, I tried Warframe and TFD and am enjoying Warframe wayyyyy more. This game is incredible. Could just be the honeymoon phase though.
im always critical of your videos, but this one, even tho i didnt watch the whole thing yet, is MUCH better than the other videos you released before, the improvement is QUITE visible, so much so i paused the video to write this comment. keep at it! :D
What i really like about warframe is that new warframes and weapons are not even that hard to get. You can get them without even spending money or playing for hours. i started the construction of sevagoth prime 2 days after it came out. Its probably one of the only game like that
The RNG can be brutal, true. I had good luck with Harrow, not many runs for any of the pieces. But somehow I just couldn't get the Miter barrel to drop, and that took dozens of runs. The psychologically weird thing is that true randomness can feel... weighted at times when you get the same result 10 times in a row when you want the exact opposite.
Been playing for 3 years, nearly at 4,000 hours on steam... I'm still blown away how much better the game is than it's competition. I don't mean in gameplay and such, because that's subjective. I mean how the game is run, how it is managed, how i actually feel respected as a customer. How feedback is actively worked upon (praise based Pablo). I played Destiny a long time, and they don't respect their customers. At all.
as a plus- the community of this game is so incredibly nice I have never met a toxic person in the game.I have met many brand new player who was accidently sabotaged a mission but I knew they were just very new, so you cant blame them on the more complicated SPY missions| Plus I was stuck on a mission I couldn't beat and in like 30 seconds of asking the chat, boom very cool gamer helped me out :) thank you nameless tenno! the worst thing as a new player tho- is getting platinum. it took me till I had like idk 300 hours in the game to start trading so that basically meant I was stuck with my 3 warframes and had to keep swapping them out when I wanted a new one.(rest in peace rhino and ember) it kinda sucked. but now that in just recent times ive started trading alot and have become semi-competent, I already have 10 warframes. and my new goal is to get every regular warframe :) I already got nidus and that gave my lucky foot a HUGE ego boost teehee!
I've started WF recently, like, 3-4 months ago, and I can't stop playing the freaking game - it's amazing, it's like the *perfect* MMO to play whether you're chilling after work or waking up to game fresh in the morning. It's *unbelievable*, I did NOT expect WF to be what it is, to be honest, it felt like the genre of the game changed (or "evolved") as I played it
the biggest thing about the game is it doesn't demand your full attention all the time, though a couple fomo is here and there, like prime mods, game is still highly playable even without them, so its still considered a "chill game"
Played warframe on release for like 2 years... stopped... played again after 3 years for another 2 years... now thinking about coming back again... lol!
I'm a Legendary 4 - for context - and I think it is the best game ever made, for my subjective tastes. Like all games, it has its problems, flaws and even the occasional, yet rare bug. But it has a very stable frame rate, a liquid combat reticle + mocap implementation, a quirky and addictive lore/backstory and one of the most flexible, atomic and interesting modding and crafting systems. And for a game with algorithmic maps, it is still interesting and stimulating to me after all these years. I actually didn't like it enough to play it in the early years - tried it, thought it had potential, but it didn't quite seal the deal. I started again right after the War Within and haven't stopped playing since. Thanks for all the great channel content - this is one of my favorite Warframe sources. P.S. Like others, I played D2 but favored Warframe due to the greater focus on frame abilities and varied combat tactics.
I started 5 maybe 6 days ago bc of the destiny news, i had already tried warframe but i didnt understand it very well in the past, now with my fresh account im enjoying so much of the game mostly due to the community that helps a lot us new players, overall im enjoying the game a lot and i can see myself playing it long term
There has never been a better time to get into Warframe. When I first joined it would've taken a lot of grind to get to the real meat of the story and world (Second Dream), and there wasn't that much besides the Plains of Eidolon. But since then they've added Fortuna, Deimos, The Deadlock Protocol, the Jupiter beautification, Duviri, and reduced a lot of the grind to get to the good stuff, in part because there's a treasure trove of good stuff before Second Dream now.
Got in 6/7 days ago, havent spent a dime, having a blast. The action/gameplay side is pure dopamin. If you like micromanagement and a multitude of systems from your pg build to your freakin spaceship, its pure dopamine. There is a lot of time/gate keeping, but there's soo much to do that once youre done with one thing youve unlocked the next. After a week Im completely won over, and I decided to spend 20 bucks on the game. No gacha system, I payed for what I wanted, and I got what I wanted. The fact that this game is free at this level of quality is just mindblowing.
Always keep yourself challenged with content. There will be moments where you get just the right mod to push you into new heights. Mods like galvanized chamber literally trivialize massive portions of the game. Stay F2P, try not to buy mods. Essentially, keep yourself from hitting the power ceiling by doing everything legit. I've hit the point in warframe where any enemy under lvl 120 can be 1 tapped by any single weapon on my frame. The problem with being at the summit is that there is nothing up there. You will have years of fun with warframe so long as you don't hit that ceiling. I love that game with a burning passion, but I (at least for the time being) cannot be bothered to play anymore. Doing 10s of millions of DPS whilst also having the ability to completely armor strip any enemy in the game is legitimately not fun.
@@emergencia9669 Oh my dear friend i failed to clarify those 10 tabs alone are for the Lich System, a system i still haven't figured out yet and looking forward to lmao.
So I started warframe legit 6 days ago have 40 hours played so far EVERY step of the way I've met some veteran of the game and they have ALL helped me. The community is genuinely so kind with every experience ive had so far. As a destiny 2 refuge I really have appreciated the game so very much along the way already
wow i just looked up my time played with warframe and that 1.3k hours are part of the happiest hours of my life. Thanks DE for existing and putting so much love and care into a very large amount of peoples heart!!!
Man... I've been playing since 2014. I have almost everything in the game and I've only sunk in 47 USD. Trading premium currency is what kept me hooked. Unfortunately, I've been trading my time instead and it's something I can't get back, but I've had a lot of fun and that's one important aspect. I've never played too much that I've burned myself out and it's another reason why I still play to this day.
Big sad about this game is that when I want to play with my friend, he needs to do story missions "Solo" because for some reason it never lets me join him for anything as early in as he is. Once you get your friend past this point, its great
What really put me off was the plat farming, which I shouldn't have even done as a new player, but it just got so boring running the same missions to get percent drops.
better to plat farm later down the line, save everything u can, and then spend a day just dumping ur spare items for plat. ud be suprise what items you have that are actually worth something. and once u get into Aya farming, its WAYYY easier to start farming expensive items at low Mastery
I started back at the beginning of 2017 because of some friends. Now I am almost 5k hours in and will 100% recommend Warframe to anyone. However, a couple weeks into my initial journey into the Origin System, my friends and I hit that knowledge wall and were so clueless on what to do, they quit and I nearly did as well had I not found iFlynn's beginner's guides. I cannot recommend enough to either have a friend answer questions and guide you through or to find a guide video. Like it was mentioned in this video, the beginner experience is better than it used to be (in some ways) but not nearly as comprehensive as it needs to be so a new player doesn't have to rely on outside sources. The wiki might as well be required lol As for the community, I can count on one finger how many rude people i've run into since 2017, and their comment wasn't even that bad lol I can't remember a single person getting mad at me when I started doing public games. I was slow and didn't even know how to bullet jump yet, but they would regularly come back from the extraction point to help me get to the exit faster or at the very least put down a waypoint marker so the way was easier to follow. You'd think that in a game all about speed when farming for things like prime parts, people would be super impatient and nagging the slowest member, but I never experienced that. Now for the premium currency topic. While there is no "pay-to-win", there is "pay-to-go-faster" by way of skipping the grind for certain things or doubling your loot/xp/money/etc. I have played most of Warframe without these boosters, but two things that are pretty much required are slots for your warframes and weapons. Technically, these can be acquired through nightwave and twitch drops, but those are few and far between, so unless you want to build then sell your warframes and weapons to make room for new ones, you will need to spend your platinum on those slots. But aside from the slot problem and the tutorial, I can't really think of any other negative points, and I really don't think those two are enough to hold a new player back from fully enjoying the game. So if you've been thinking about giving Warframe a go, there is no barrier to entry, so hop in and see how ya like it!
Warframe is the only game community where I’ve commented on a big creator’s video about asking for help about something and the creator of the video actually replying themself
Ive come back from several years away, and have 3 or 4 friends coming into it new. Since id played a lot before, these werent mandatory for me, but a big hurdle in the new player experience is they MAKE YOU play open world stuff like Eidolon or Orb Vallis super early. Its not great for momentum when they are like "these missions are fun, im gonna clear Earth" and then get thrown into the introductory PoE quest that is solo only, takes place on a giant open world map, also with no Archwing or any option to get around faster than Bullet Jumping 100s of meters through an open field. I can hear each of them in their voice be a little less excited about the game being shown that this is something that exists, and you have to do them to do Venus Junction or Mercury Junction. I think maybe talking to the people in town, going outside for 1 short open world mission, and returning, would be a fine introduction to it. But i mean making someone solo run the entire Vox Solaris quest at hour 5 of them playing the game is just jerks them around too hard.
@hdgdhnxbdx1619 sure, and teleporting is not a thing you do in normal missions so the person who has played single digit hours might not pick up on it. Even if you teleport around it still takes a while and is stomping on the brakes of the pace of the game at a critical time for newbies. Every single new player ive been with has stopped having fun the moment they are forced to do eidolon or fortuna stuff.
A quarter into the video, I realize that if Warframe ever died and there were to be another game in its stead, it would not exactly benefit from a sequel, it would actually be a better idea to play a Prequel. In some way, 1999 will serve as lore or an alternate universe to our current story, but in essence, there's a lot to the Warframe lore that is even juicier, begging to be explored. For one, we barely know about the Dax, Sentients, or Orokin unless you read through the hidden lore, but it's still a puzzle. Another one is that we'd like to actually experience first hand the Warframe lore, but in addition, I think the biggest ace up DEs sleeve is the Jordan Karis experience. I think everyone can agree on all of this.
I started the game back in early 2022 and barely racked up to 5hrs of game time due to the steep learning curve i had to go through just to get myself acclimitised to the games content. Came back 2 months ago and im at 100+ hrs and already gotten my first kuva weapon, necramech and archwing with a fully spec railjack which has been my main game mode lately and im drfinitely planning on staying with the game for a long long time
Yeah, it's awesome to see. I've been playing this game for so many years now, the devs, the gameplay, and the story keep me here. So, to see so many other people joining the community, even bigger streamers, brings me quite a bit of joy. It has been fun watching vids of new peeps experiencing the quests or building a new frame for the first time.
Warframe will always be my Safe Place and space, to distract my self and hanging around with the community, ive have so much great memories with that game, glad to be a part of it.
i just wanna say somebody who has played warframe since and been a fan of of since launch i came back just a couple days ago and has been blown away since, i know this game meant alot to me when i cried cause i saw my rail jack, MY RAILJACK, i solo built that thing maybe thats why for someone who takes care of the dojo alone, but ive done new war, amazing, just did the quest for 1999 was blown away, so im def going through this resurgence and having a blast
I always salute the people that pay into warframe, because these are the people that let that people that don't, enjoy the game. Who cares if i have to grind for 5 hours to get protea, and someone else buys her. They just did the grind in real life.
@@sirloollonator But you do know that in the end you need to max level both the normal and the prime because they give seperate mr xp right? Also always running relics gets stale, mate. At 1200 hours you enjoy doing different tasks.
I started late last summer and still having a blast, meanwhile I haven't touched D2 since March 2nd of 2023, and will remind collecting dust in my Steam Library.
@ARatherDapperTapir God, I wish I did too! A lot of that is honesty idle time while I have to take care of things at home. Sometimes, after work, I boot it up, and it spends an hour or two open. All I've really done is reset my extraction drones and maybe gotten a mission in
I played Warframe in 2016 for approximately 50-100 hours on PS4 and then after 426 hours in TFD I got on Warframe, linked my old PS account to PC, and started grinding again. Fun game.. but damn there's so many years worth of grinding.
finish the star chart, start optimizing builds, farm plat, buy more things, level more things, get MR higher, repeat till you get bored. thats warframe, and it seems to keep us all in the game, for some reason xD
That will continue until you're in your mid MR20's. Then you'll say: "what am I doing? Idk.... but at least I've some dope weapons and other crap that could blow up a planet"😎
I started warframe back in 2017 or 2018 and have been playing on and off since, but now, I really have been enjoying the game way more than I thought I would‼️
Tbh is better to start this later in the version of the game since everything literally teaches you how to maneuver the mechanics and the community even has specific places and pages on how to play. And since a new player COULD start out in the latest version of Warframe, it could benefit them by having more access to the wide variety instead of the old version and being a late game player who waits maybe a couple months just grinding to oblivion waiting for the next big update
I've been obsessed with Warframe for almost 2 years. There is always something new to do or grind, and while it may seem dumb to some people, it just keeps me coming back. And, yes, the community is incredibly helpful and pretty cool.
I started playing Warframe in late 2017, and since then I go through phases of grinding the life out of the game and then not playing for a long time. Somehow I just keep coming back like this game is calling out to me.
I've always found that WF calls me back for it's movement alone. No other game can scratch the itch, and while other games can do the looter/shooter aspect as well or better they just can't hold up to the pure joy of the movement system.
I started to play this game in 2013 , a lot of time passed, a lot of updates. I witnessed the development from the start and I can say that this game went through a ton of stuff and changes. I'm not gonna lie, it's not perfect, almost nothing nowadays is perfect, but it is definitely worth your time. I don't know a game that is more than a decade old and still has such a big online and fanbase, still have developers working on it and making it better. And I just love to see how much love the game I grew up with gets. Much love to DE and all warframe players❤ Comment your starting year, interesting to see when everybody started
I think something that people need to be more transparent a about is that the game gives you severely limited weapon and warframe slots. Warframe slots cost 20 plat each. Weapon slots are 2 for 12. The game gives you 50 plat (the premium currency) to start limiting your ability to purchase these to two warframe slots or 1 warframe and 4weapon slots. Base price for plat is 70 for 5 dollars on steam. There are a few ways to get these in game but they are way more rare than builiding/buying weapons are. And before anyone says something dumb like they can trade on the market the average person is not gonna understand how to correctly use the market to their advantage at such an early mastery rank nor will they have access to half the missions or fissures that would allow that to be a viable option
Yeah, I think the limited Slots can come across as a big turn off for new players. Sure, trading for them is easy if you know what you're doing but then again most necomers don'r really have hundreds of hours of experience to be able to cut corners.
What do you think about Warframe in 2024?
Raghhh
Warframe is a good game I like it
I'm still waiting for railjack tau missions
I like it...though, I still find myself hating the standing system and some "softlocks" because of it that always pulls up my pulse because I hate the monotone chores they give me as the best way to befriend a given faction just so I can make, for example, a better Amp quicker
I may have ADHD that isn't diagnosed but I ain't that autistic😅 (no offense)
Oh, and the Riven mod trade. Man, do I lose my mind understanding that the mod that says unveiled is unrevealed and the veiled is unveiled in player terms if you want to trade. My whole clan needed to explain it to me to barely get these
its wholesome . but i think u should have mention the arena endo farmers . they r toxic as hell i have never seen toxic people like those. thanks to them i dont know where to get endos quickly so i can upgrade and sell mods to make a bit of plats. if any new player see this comment then i would suggest staying away from them until u know the game like back of ur hand. but except them the whole community is really nice so feel free try it and the millions of tenno out there. ✌
Warframe is what Destiny 2 and many other F2P games are afraid to be. A good game and not a money-making machine to appease investors.
Yep, I am really happy that we have Steve as the CEO and Tencent as main shareholder. As far as I know, Tencent doesn't really interfere with their games which I respect ^^
@@MHBlacky_ENG I hope so.
True, my friend played it like 1000 something hours, build the dojo by himself and got a ton of prime without spending any money
meanwhile i spending almost 1000 bucks mostly on fashion 😂
I don't think they are not gaining money it's actually smart to make the topup currency same as the trading currency in game there's a lot of p2w lazy people edit I like to add this remember every platinum we have rotating from player to player as trade currency is someone else topup money

Same but i have 200+ hours
I have a friend that has invested more time than me (her started after me) i currently have around 700+
damn... way to make me feel bad about myself... I played for about 4months... and have 1000hrs..
@@Reinkhiett dude, fucking get a life. Good God.
@@bobross8585unnecessary.
A game that doesn't lock content or gear behind fomo or lootboxes, brings "exclusive" stuff back to weekly rotations, deletes slot-machine mechanics because a player spent like 700$ on it and has a lead game director that licks her nosetrail in the weekly stream, you can confidently say:
The time was never better to start with Warframe. This game and the devs are fantastic👍
only critique on this comment is PRIMED SUREFOOTED, like god why does Baro not have this lmao
We used to be simple space ninjas, but now we're walking war crimes
Not even just walking... flying, hovering and soon also driving xD

Ever since saryn weve been monsters
Come my child soldiers
If you're coming from Destiny, The First Descendent, or just trying out Warframe for the first time, here's a pro tip.
Scan the cats.
You're a Legend! :D
Yup, took me 2 days to get the kavat, now even more to get khora
Warframe is like the perfect relationship i can dream about. Respectful , honest and loving.
I played since the start 11 years and at "only" 3k2 hours as i'm righting. I never felt forced to play. I played "on an off" for all those years but never went far. Always kept my daily loging streak back in the days and to day i always come and check even for a couple of minutes. Never mist a prime frame but you also have more then a year for it.
Back in the day i also played Wow , i still love it but warframe respect me, my time and money. Wow make you pay no matter what. You have a crazy week , don't feel like playing it , don't make progress , " i don't care give me 13,99 and don't forget next month" . Warframe on the other hand tell you. " you,re seek , don't have time right now, you want to play another game this week or month? No problem take your time , everything will be here when you comeback and even more".
Just like in a relationship, when i feel respect for my effort i'm gonna stick with it, trought good and bad and of course i'm gonna support it.
I really don't understand people complaining about the money side off the game. It's free to play and if after 60 ,150 ,270 hours don't feel like putting 20 $ when you get a 50% or 75% reduction for platnium. You are a awfull person. It would be like listening to a street musiscian performing a 2 hours concert and walking away not giving anything and expect to be free from the start.
I spend a lot of money in the game and it feels right because the game give me back in return, every slot i bought are here to stay , every color palette i can use, all of that i can keep. The monthly fee wow take from me always seemed better spend on warframe, the game that always respected me.
The game is fair. I always wanted to grind for my stuff and it really became my "sense of pride and accomplishement". " i got all of it by my hard work" . The game give me the oppotunity to get it for free and i want more for that it only seem fair that a give back and support the devs.
I hope they will be another 11years and 3000hours .
warframes missions aren’t randomly generated. they are tilesets. even the order of the rooms isn’t completely random. every room is hand made and they have rules for what rooms can ajoin other rooms. this is nothing like, say minecraft or no mans sky. (both fantastically mostly randomly generated worlds, but nothing like warframes maps)
warframe is the only game that i have ever spent a good amount of money (mainly just on cosmetics and some annoying things i don't feel like grinding) on because i want to support the devs. The amount of content this game gives out for free.99 is absolutely insane.
0:42 bruh, that’s absolutely true. I looked at First Descendant and was initially interested until looking into just how incredibly bland and a bad rip-off of Warframe/Destiny it was that it literally made me wanna play Warframe again after not playing in 3 years lmao.
Same lmao
Played it, thought "damn this is boring", left it for a week only to come back thinking "maybe i'm looking at it as a Warframe player, maybe if I give it a legit chance it might be fun", but nope, played it for like an hour or two, almost fell asleep, uninstalled
I myself kinda still had a good time with TFD, but I think it really got a lot of people to the point where they were like "Wait, wasn't there this other Game out there?" xD
Personally i do not think so. I started warframe two weeks ago and i’ve learned a lot from you and other’s videos. You’ve helped me a lot, thank you!
Happy to hear I could help you get into the game ^-^
I hope you'll find a lot more fun in the game for a long time ;)
@@MHBlacky_ENG 💜💜
Heck they are still streamlining the new player experience. There was a massive workshop dropped recently showing more then 10 improvements listed with the next update. I I’m excited to see these changes because it helps both new players and older ones.
“Warframe is here for you” and it will be as we all lift together, especially when times get rough.
Warframe and DE don't give a shit about us. Only about our money. Especially new players that they can rip off as they did when they launched prime resurgence.
@@AguilarNubiola How was that a rip-off?
@@Luinta They took the Platinum out of the Packs and replaced it with Endo while keeping the prices of the packs that included Platinum. When complaints of veteran players started coming in they stated that they could not adjust the packs for the rotation and just rolled with selling the packs without Platinum for the Prices of the Packs with Platinum.They could have A: refund all players and remove the Endo from the Game the second they realized what's going on B: adjust prices or C: remove the packs from the shop. They didn't.
As mentioned in the The First Descendant reddit... That game's release generated a lot of comments like "This is just a Warframe, but worse" and got a lot of people actually interested in Warframe.
All Warframe has to do to crush 1st Descendant are three simple things:
1) Keep developing the game at the pace they have been
2) Keep the prices in the shop fair (and keep the Prime relic farming fair as it has been)
3) Release more skimpy Ember skins to pull over the horndogs from 1stDes.
Coomer skin with human looks will definitely pull them in
Number 3 won't beat TFD
@@bloody4558 Yeah, I kinda agree with you, especialy when their game is around that theme mostly.
@@YinSeng Wait until Tennogen Protoframe Beach Skin arrives
Warframe makes me feel like the people making it care about me. I've lost that feeling from a lot of other game developers. It's easy to be a fan of the game, even though it isn't perfect... what game is? This one, however, has heart and is willing to share it with the player. If it were a person, I'd hug 'em.
id hug it too!!
Yeah the reverse philosophy of Arrowhead, it’s refreshing!
A note for those jumping in, and getting to the point of burnout; take breaks. DE has stated themselves multiple times that if you aren't enjoying yourself, you should put the game down for a while. Warframe will still be here when you're ready to hop back in.
Hear, hear! I started Warframe, couldn’t get used to the third-person perspective, and dropped it before getting off Earth. I came back years later during Covid, and I got hooked. I haven’t stopped since, and now I have 1.5k hours in the game.
If you get tired of it, put it down for a while, it’ll be here when you come back. And probably with some new content to enjoy, too.
No way an ad started after 1:07
Lol
Same lmaooo
How did you know?
I'm saying right
Yup me too
I played Destiny for 10 years and bought every collectors edition on Xbox and the platinum editions on my PC. Spent about, $10,000 on my ten years including, $50 every season on silver purchases.
I'm no slouch when it comes to grind for guns and armor. Spent countless hours farming catalysts in the Shattered Throne Thrailway before it was Nurfed, and you had to use Shiro Chi checkpoint.
But I digress. I got tired of Destiny and was looking for a change, and one of my raiding buddies said to check out this game. I was hooked. This is what I was looking for out of Destiny and never got. I look forward to grinding this out for the next 10 years.
It’s so funny to me because I have over a thousand hours on destiny and recently i remembered that warframe exists and is free so I decided to try it. Is this how it feels when the devs actually care about the players 🤯
Ikr???? Its crazy how the paid currency is priced to dissuade people from buying it
I also just started playing warframe this month..... so far I like the "my pace" vibe and almost everything can be grinded
cheers DE!🎉
Everything can be grinded
Yes. The whole ting with playing at your own pace is such a good selling point! I've played a lot of Genshin recently and I really don't like FOMO...
I started playing this game back in 2021. I completed the first story mission which teaches you all the basic movement mechanisms of the game and then the open world was unlocked and I was so overwhelmed that I stopped playing altogether.
Then in 2023, I started playing Valorant because my friends were playing it and I needed a distraction so that I can recover from the emotional trauma caused by my father's death in 2022. But I found that game to be so toxic that instead of coming out of the depression, I started sinking more and more into it.
That's when I decided to give Warframe another chance and boy, oh boy...what a great decision that was! I discovered this channel on TH-cam and the reddit community simultaneously which improved my playing experience a lot and I actually started enjoying the game and all that helped me heal and get out of the depression.
Special shoutout to the reddit community and to all Tennos out there...I have not a seen a more friendly, supporting and nurturing community in any other game.
Warframe is special to me, Because it feels like a game that isn't afraid to fail. They try their hand at everything, trying to put their own spin on things, and it doesn't always work! It fails, They have failed before! But the Team for warframe never feels like they are afraid to actually try something.
This game fills a ridiculous power fantasy that I never knew I had till I started
IMO warframes capacity to be fun is massively determined by your drive to get deeper into the game, many of my friends have tried getting into it and given up before it gets really good. Hell I have up my first try playing it and came back later to realize what I missed.
Yes i tried to get my buddy into it and he said its too big for him.. I told him to try to get to second dream but he refused
When I first started playing Warframe, I had picked Excalibur as my first warframe. I liked him but wasn't sure he was for me, so I tried crafting a new frame (Mag). Well, I think I did a public game with a Dev and after a mission I got an Email saying that they feel like Excalibur wasn't the right frame for me, and they gave me a code for a free Volt from the market. I kept that Volt up until I got Volt Prime. With so many things going on in the world of gaming It's refreshing to see that there's still devs who not only love their game but will actively try to improve the player's experience
I love how beginners spend 90% of their time on ground meanwhile Veterans literally fly trough the game
The floor is lava is the real end game
Monetization: You forgot about tennogen that can only be bought by real money BUT a portion of that money goes to the creator of the skin(which isnt Digital Extremes)
“Somebody at Destiny accidentally hit the self destruct button” lmfao
Accidentally? more like hit it with a hammer then unloaded an entire arsenal on it.
As a destiny player, I think the rise of popularity is that destiny players are trying Warframe for the first time, this is because bungie has recently been laying off a lot of employees and the game is sitting in a hot dumpster right now.
And what are your thoughts about Warframe?
I'm a Destiny player that's been playing Warframe since October last year when Bungue laid off Michael Salvatore. The game is so much more fun than Destiny. Any Destiny Player will enjoy it. On top of it being completely free and DE being the GOATS of Game Developers to where youactually want to spend money on the game's MTX to support them.
First descendent bringing the genre into the mainstream
Destiny 2 reaching its finale before bungie getting absolutely gutted
And warframe 99 being hype as hell and rebs team seeming to release nothing but positives aince they took over (sure there was the dante and nezha nerfs but even that wasnt so bad)
Its time for a second golden age of warframe
Nezha nerfs were reverted?
@@Joemama-xw2wy i dont play nezha so i have no clue what the nerf even was ngl xD i just remember hearing a lot of fuss about nezha during the dante line of sight stuff
@@redsixx669 it's because nezha used dante's 3 as a subsume, so he was nerfed by proxy
My new favourite thing to do is watch Baby Tenno taking their first steps through the game and discovering all the "wow" moments along the way 🤗
People realising how bad The First Descendent and coming to Warframe is just amazing. TFD gave more new players to DE than to Nexon
Hahaha probably xD
I personally had decent fun with TFD but I agree, that right now it doesn't even come close to Warframe ;)
I've been telling TFD player to farm forma shouldn't be an 8 hour grind fest its crazy even for us warframe player, but because some of them play TFD as their first looter shooter they have no idea how bad the grind is in TFD.
@@rushdrift I have my clan playing all together TFD....yes it has some grinding...but mostly you can target farm everything from relics,weapons,mods because it has in built that system which is very helpful....they restrain you from building multiple parts at one time but the game is fun and the storyline is good and no messed up like warframe....whoever you ask about the story of warframe nobody really knows what happened....DE of course after the new war quests we supposed to go to TAU ..that's why excaliburs umbra mods indicate that 🤔....but DE I THINK they are lazy...not continuing the story of warframes going to Tau ...and they could do it plain and simple to travel to proxima where Tau system would be with our railjack..which railjack is something unique....I do not think there is a game like warframe which has space battles like the railjack missions...still warframe has the best example of how a free to play game should be!
I only played TFD for a couple dozen hours but each play session just made me miss Destiny’s gunplay and Warframe’s movement.
What?! I thought this was just a fashion version of flappy birds!? You are telling me there is more?!!
the moment where he said what warframe did after 11 years is epic
wish i found it though
I've tried to get into warframe multiple times in the past and it never clicked, now that destiny is over (and completely dead to me) I gave it another try and I have been completely hooked. Just completed The Second Dream a few days ago and I'm definitely gonna stick with it, the story from that alone makes me want to delve into all the lore.
Honestly
DE to me is what Bungie used to Be back in there Golden Days
Innovative and constantly Cooking
I hope DE never looses themselves like Bungie has
Probably wont, as its not controlled directly like bungie was under activison blizzard,
So long as they give money to tencent they get free creative liberty
To be fair DE did lose themselves in the 2019-2021 era which we all refer to as the dark ages of Warframe
Ever since Rebb took over though things have been looking bright
Like this comment as a petition for MHBlacky to un-private the crysis videos
Warframe is my fav game right now. Just endless stuff to do even after 700hrs, you can always farm frames.. then subsume them to crate your own versions. It's a great game & I also would pay for it. The fact it's free it's a no brainer to try it out :)
I swear I'm just waiting for the point where all abilities are subsumable and we get a "blank" / Personal frame where we can just mess around with any and every ability on a frame
@@Xephyranth the release version of the subsume come pretty close to that. you could still only change 1 ability but you could take every abilitity you want.
@@Xephyranth I would love if they threw all the abilities that were scrapped or couldn't fit in with a set theme and let us choose them like a zaw before locking in the frame (probably like "hardening" the helminth into the metallic material frames are made of).
As a Destiny player that jumped ship this week, I'm having a ball. The depth of buildcrafting in both armour and weapons is amazing. Plus, the community is fantastic compared to the toxic, jock mentality that Destiny attracts. Should have done it sooner. And your channel is great, Subbed !
...armor? You think warframes are armor?
@@BlackBlade51 shhhhh dont ruin it 🔫

As a recent First Descendent escapee, I can honestly say the Warframe grind, if you can call it that, is far less than the grindfest found in the First Descendent. Two months in, and I am MR 12 and 67% through the star chart but not feeling the need to rush anything. Cheers.
1ST-D is a garbage game by garbage devs
TLDR: Games Goods, Stick around and you'll fall in love.
that destiny 2 layoff article hit hard(10 year d2 player and 2 year warframe player here) and i will agree warframe is very down to earth
The argument that ‘buying’ gear in warframe makes the gear un-earned is fundamentally wrong.
I don’t buy platinum directly, but I do buy Prime Access accessory bundles and occasionally the whole prime access bundle. And guess what? I earned it.
I earned it because my job includes climbing up to 280 foot towers by ladder in the coastal Texas heat at the worst of times, and plodding around working jobs on the ground at the best of times. My grind is often a physical one.
Facts
As long as purchases don't buy victory over others, I support the option. Grind at a job, or grind at the game. Your choice.
As long as simply having the toys doesn't guarantee victory. We're good. Players still need to have good builds sure, but they also have to know how to make those builds work. It's not even just about what order to smash the powers. Timing and synergy matters in many cases.
@@NotoriousNickNorris oh for sure. When I started playing warfarm back in 2014 I was purely free to play. I only have so much platinum now because I get the prime access packs enough to have stocked up on plat. I still actively grind stuff out though, esp things that HAVE to be farmed, like Kuva and Tenet weapons
That's what I'm saying. I can never wrap my head around why some people get so mad over pay to play players.
I feel you. And I think you're doine everything right ;)
Don't forget how there are not only coupons, but people like you are how the market even stays inflated so people can actually get plat for free...
Former d2 player here can confirm d2 blew itselve up and my entire clan switches to warframe now. Its so much more fun and we having a blast i hope that continues for a long time
Not pay-to-win. Something more like "somebody pay to you get things faster if you want it". I mean, somebody will get plat, you'll sell stuff for them for their plat, bang, you have plat to get your stuff faster/easier.
allowing the trading of premium currency really is one of the biggest and better powermove of warframe
Definitely not too late to start playing. I just started about a year ago and it’s pretty much all I’ve been playing. 700 hours in and I’m working my way through steel path now. With all of the QoL updates there’s probably never been a better time to start playing. And Warframe doesn’t suffer the same content vaulting issue that destiny has, so new players don’t have to worry about missing out on entire campaigns worth of content.
Pre-Alpha and beyond tester for Warframe, I came across this game as just an ad for a temp testing job, even after i was done with the Pre-Alpha testing I still continued to play and have been since then, Warframe is 100 percent my comfort game and Will stay that way till the day I pass away. I highly recommend any and all to atleast give the game a few chances to show what truly has become an amazing (and still getting better) Free to play game.
I started warframe the day you posted this video, I’m starting to understand it kinda as an ex destiny player, the material grinding system at least feels similar, honestly my biggest complaints have been about how restricting the game feels. You don’t get many weapon slots, or warframe slots, and finding a weapon that feels good is.. hard. But I’m guessing that really isn’t an issue after a couple weeks? Aside from the above I’m having a great experience so far.
That's where you start farming for things to sold on market and get platinum, you can start with mods or crack relics
Having played both, I'll keep it real- there are very few weapons that even approach an average destiny weapon. Part of that comes from it being a third person shooter, I think, but also unfortunately a lot of the early game weapons... just kinda suck. I'd recommend trying out the Lex early on, its kinda close to a destiny hand cannon. There's a bow you get from a lategame quest called the Nataruk which feels about as good if not better than Destiny bows do.
The real sauce comes from the Incarnon weapons which you can get access to from a late game activity called "Steel Path circuits". Not gonna get into all of it here (google and youtube guides are your best friend for Warframe in general) but the Incarnon weapons are probably the most comparable to Destiny exotics. Build up a meter by landing headshots and then you have a giga supercharged version of that weapon that behaves completely differently from its normal version. For example, the Lex I mentioned earlier can be turned into an Incarnon version that, when charged, shoots refrigerator- sized bullets that one shot basically anything you shoot it at if you build it out with the right stats.
I had the same issue, but then i bought the fulmin (shouldnt be a problem for a former d2 player). And this is a really good weapon.
the way you get more slots is by example, maxing frames and wapons to upgrade your mastery rank, each rank you will get some new addtional slots for frames and weapons, sometimes you can geth them to through the "seasonPass" aka nightwave. but the best way is just to maxing weapons and frames. Playing the story helps too. Oh and dont forget your first big approach should be to complete the starsystem, with that you will enable the steelpath mode(It is in doom so called"Nightmare Mode") and you will be able to hop on any normal starchart mission with others.💪
Where exacly is the part that actually deals with the title of the video "After 11 Years... Warframe did THIS!" ??!?
yeah what it did after 11 years tldr?
You saved me 20 minutes
lol i was looking for this
Thx for this.
As far as the monetisation goes, here was my experience -
I bought a starter pack for $12 AUD after playing 100hrs for free, I got some stuff and a few hundred Plat.
I went to buy a weapon with that Platinum, and it showed (alongside the premium price tag) that I could buy it with the ingame currency instead AND that I had all the resources to craft it. This info wasn't hidden, or obfuscated.
I opted to buy the blueprint with ingame currency, and have it crafted overnight, and hold my Platinum for another day.
I didn't even give warframe a glance the first time I "saw" it, it was my first time online with the PlayStation store and my dad was in the room at the time(2017) and my dad pointed out "hey..... What's that", hah.....space ninjas and it's free..... And now I thank my dad for my first grindy game and still loving the game more and more every year
A a Limbo Player, I cant confirm the community friendlyness
Here to drop some hate on the limbo player ❤ go step on a lego in the void magic man
I liked Limbo. Limbo being in my squad as well as playing as Limbo.
But they "nerfed" the time-stop mechanic twice. Can't make art with projectiles anymore. Can't create walls of bullets anymore.
Sad.
Played the game back in 2017, didnt like it.
Tried again in 2020, this time there was more things to do and a bunch of new characters to pick (even tough only played umbra) so I played for around 300 hours.
Now, after playing TFD I came to to the game with a collector's mentality, I want to build everything and and see how much more this game can impress me. ❤
The thing is you can take very very long breaks and come back without having missed 400 limited events and get bombed with like thousands of notifications- at least in my experience, I’m currently burnt out from grinding months on end (I literally played like 120 hours in the span of a month)
I have almost 10k plat in my account thanks to discounts and packages that offered great value. Even living in Brazil with a weak currency, I've managed to accumulate a lot of plat, often getting 75% discounts. I've bought legacy and Ember packages, and my experience with the game's premium currency has been very positive. Since I don't have time to farm due to work, I feel I deserve these weapons and prime frames just as much as anyone else.
As a Destiny player who wanted to find a new game, I tried Warframe and TFD and am enjoying Warframe wayyyyy more. This game is incredible. Could just be the honeymoon phase though.
It's not just a honeymoon phase💙
Doesn't matter if it is the Honeymoon Phase or not. You are enjoying your time right now and that#s all that matters ;)
It's a looter-shooter, flappy bird, streetfighter, music creator, fashion sim and more...
im always critical of your videos, but this one, even tho i didnt watch the whole thing yet, is MUCH better than the other videos you released before, the improvement is QUITE visible, so much so i paused the video to write this comment. keep at it! :D
What i really like about warframe is that new warframes and weapons are not even that hard to get. You can get them without even spending money or playing for hours. i started the construction of sevagoth prime 2 days after it came out. Its probably one of the only game like that
"Reasonable amounts of grind" Say that to my 100 runs at the last Harrow piece I need from Rescue.
Old Harrow drop?😂
Why not just get Harrow from Circuit? That's an easy 1 hour grind.
@@DawnAfternoon Yeah, wait weeks for him to pop up
The RNG can be brutal, true. I had good luck with Harrow, not many runs for any of the pieces. But somehow I just couldn't get the Miter barrel to drop, and that took dozens of runs. The psychologically weird thing is that true randomness can feel... weighted at times when you get the same result 10 times in a row when you want the exact opposite.
@@Player-tz4yv That's still preferable to 100 Rotation C runs
Been playing for 3 years, nearly at 4,000 hours on steam...
I'm still blown away how much better the game is than it's competition. I don't mean in gameplay and such, because that's subjective. I mean how the game is run, how it is managed, how i actually feel respected as a customer. How feedback is actively worked upon (praise based Pablo).
I played Destiny a long time, and they don't respect their customers. At all.
as a plus- the community of this game is so incredibly nice I have never met a toxic person in the game.I have met many brand new player who was accidently sabotaged a mission but I knew they were just very new, so you cant blame them on the more complicated SPY missions| Plus I was stuck on a mission I couldn't beat and in like 30 seconds of asking the chat, boom very cool gamer helped me out :) thank you nameless tenno!
the worst thing as a new player tho- is getting platinum. it took me till I had like idk 300 hours in the game to start trading so that basically meant I was stuck with my 3 warframes and had to keep swapping them out when I wanted a new one.(rest in peace rhino and ember) it kinda sucked. but now that in just recent times ive started trading alot and have become semi-competent, I already have 10 warframes. and my new goal is to get every regular warframe :) I already got nidus and that gave my lucky foot a HUGE ego boost teehee!
Nidus on top Sis 💪🗿
I've started WF recently, like, 3-4 months ago, and I can't stop playing the freaking game - it's amazing, it's like the *perfect* MMO to play whether you're chilling after work or waking up to game fresh in the morning. It's *unbelievable*, I did NOT expect WF to be what it is, to be honest, it felt like the genre of the game changed (or "evolved") as I played it
I play it for 4 years now and it still is crazy the amount to do in this game!
the biggest thing about the game is it doesn't demand your full attention all the time, though a couple fomo is here and there, like prime mods, game is still highly playable even without them, so its still considered a "chill game"

I'm a Legendary 4 - for context - and I think it is the best game ever made, for my subjective tastes. Like all games, it has its problems, flaws and even the occasional, yet rare bug. But it has a very stable frame rate, a liquid combat reticle + mocap implementation, a quirky and addictive lore/backstory and one of the most flexible, atomic and interesting modding and crafting systems. And for a game with algorithmic maps, it is still interesting and stimulating to me after all these years. I actually didn't like it enough to play it in the early years - tried it, thought it had potential, but it didn't quite seal the deal. I started again right after the War Within and haven't stopped playing since. Thanks for all the great channel content - this is one of my favorite Warframe sources. P.S. Like others, I played D2 but favored Warframe due to the greater focus on frame abilities and varied combat tactics.
After 11 years... _-Bungie/Sony-_ Warframe did THIS!
Hahaha love it :D
I started 5 maybe 6 days ago bc of the destiny news, i had already tried warframe but i didnt understand it very well in the past, now with my fresh account im enjoying so much of the game mostly due to the community that helps a lot us new players, overall im enjoying the game a lot and i can see myself playing it long term
Same, dude.
There has never been a better time to get into Warframe. When I first joined it would've taken a lot of grind to get to the real meat of the story and world (Second Dream), and there wasn't that much besides the Plains of Eidolon. But since then they've added Fortuna, Deimos, The Deadlock Protocol, the Jupiter beautification, Duviri, and reduced a lot of the grind to get to the good stuff, in part because there's a treasure trove of good stuff before Second Dream now.
Totally agree. If you've ever fancied Warframe, then now is the time to strike :D
Got in 6/7 days ago, havent spent a dime, having a blast. The action/gameplay side is pure dopamin. If you like micromanagement and a multitude of systems from your pg build to your freakin spaceship, its pure dopamine. There is a lot of time/gate keeping, but there's soo much to do that once youre done with one thing youve unlocked the next. After a week Im completely won over, and I decided to spend 20 bucks on the game. No gacha system, I payed for what I wanted, and I got what I wanted.
The fact that this game is free at this level of quality is just mindblowing.
Always keep yourself challenged with content. There will be moments where you get just the right mod to push you into new heights. Mods like galvanized chamber literally trivialize massive portions of the game. Stay F2P, try not to buy mods. Essentially, keep yourself from hitting the power ceiling by doing everything legit. I've hit the point in warframe where any enemy under lvl 120 can be 1 tapped by any single weapon on my frame. The problem with being at the summit is that there is nothing up there. You will have years of fun with warframe so long as you don't hit that ceiling. I love that game with a burning passion, but I (at least for the time being) cannot be bothered to play anymore. Doing 10s of millions of DPS whilst also having the ability to completely armor strip any enemy in the game is legitimately not fun.
I started Missing Warframe just now and caught this vid. I SHALL return in a few hours, with zero FOMO and 10 tabs of the warframe wiki open.
so unbelievably fucking real.
nah 10 tabs is to low open overguard too for builds.
I remember having ike 5 overguard tabs, 4 of the wiki and like 4 yt warframe guides lmao
@@emergencia9669 Oh my dear friend i failed to clarify those 10 tabs alone are for the Lich System, a system i still haven't figured out yet and looking forward to lmao.
So I started warframe legit 6 days ago have 40 hours played so far EVERY step of the way I've met some veteran of the game and they have ALL helped me. The community is genuinely so kind with every experience ive had so far. As a destiny 2 refuge I really have appreciated the game so very much along the way already
wow i just looked up my time played with warframe and that 1.3k hours are part of the happiest hours of my life. Thanks DE for existing and putting so much love and care into a very large amount of peoples heart!!!
Man... I've been playing since 2014. I have almost everything in the game and I've only sunk in 47 USD. Trading premium currency is what kept me hooked. Unfortunately, I've been trading my time instead and it's something I can't get back, but I've had a lot of fun and that's one important aspect. I've never played too much that I've burned myself out and it's another reason why I still play to this day.
You are totally right. No need to ever spend a dime if you don't want to ^^
Big sad about this game is that when I want to play with my friend, he needs to do story missions "Solo" because for some reason it never lets me join him for anything as early in as he is. Once you get your friend past this point, its great
What really put me off was the plat farming, which I shouldn't have even done as a new player, but it just got so boring running the same missions to get percent drops.
better to plat farm later down the line, save everything u can, and then spend a day just dumping ur spare items for plat. ud be suprise what items you have that are actually worth something. and once u get into Aya farming, its WAYYY easier to start farming expensive items at low Mastery
On point about the first decendant for me, haven't played for about a year, tried first descendant, now back playing Warframe every night.
I started back at the beginning of 2017 because of some friends. Now I am almost 5k hours in and will 100% recommend Warframe to anyone.
However, a couple weeks into my initial journey into the Origin System, my friends and I hit that knowledge wall and were so clueless on what to do, they quit and I nearly did as well had I not found iFlynn's beginner's guides. I cannot recommend enough to either have a friend answer questions and guide you through or to find a guide video. Like it was mentioned in this video, the beginner experience is better than it used to be (in some ways) but not nearly as comprehensive as it needs to be so a new player doesn't have to rely on outside sources.
The wiki might as well be required lol
As for the community, I can count on one finger how many rude people i've run into since 2017, and their comment wasn't even that bad lol
I can't remember a single person getting mad at me when I started doing public games. I was slow and didn't even know how to bullet jump yet, but they would regularly come back from the extraction point to help me get to the exit faster or at the very least put down a waypoint marker so the way was easier to follow.
You'd think that in a game all about speed when farming for things like prime parts, people would be super impatient and nagging the slowest member, but I never experienced that.
Now for the premium currency topic. While there is no "pay-to-win", there is "pay-to-go-faster" by way of skipping the grind for certain things or doubling your loot/xp/money/etc.
I have played most of Warframe without these boosters, but two things that are pretty much required are slots for your warframes and weapons. Technically, these can be acquired through nightwave and twitch drops, but those are few and far between, so unless you want to build then sell your warframes and weapons to make room for new ones, you will need to spend your platinum on those slots.
But aside from the slot problem and the tutorial, I can't really think of any other negative points, and I really don't think those two are enough to hold a new player back from fully enjoying the game.
So if you've been thinking about giving Warframe a go, there is no barrier to entry, so hop in and see how ya like it!
Warframe is the only game community where I’ve commented on a big creator’s video about asking for help about something and the creator of the video actually replying themself
Ive come back from several years away, and have 3 or 4 friends coming into it new. Since id played a lot before, these werent mandatory for me, but a big hurdle in the new player experience is they MAKE YOU play open world stuff like Eidolon or Orb Vallis super early. Its not great for momentum when they are like "these missions are fun, im gonna clear Earth" and then get thrown into the introductory PoE quest that is solo only, takes place on a giant open world map, also with no Archwing or any option to get around faster than Bullet Jumping 100s of meters through an open field. I can hear each of them in their voice be a little less excited about the game being shown that this is something that exists, and you have to do them to do Venus Junction or Mercury Junction. I think maybe talking to the people in town, going outside for 1 short open world mission, and returning, would be a fine introduction to it. But i mean making someone solo run the entire Vox Solaris quest at hour 5 of them playing the game is just jerks them around too hard.
U have no idea what ur saying they have teleporters all through the open world .
@hdgdhnxbdx1619 sure, and teleporting is not a thing you do in normal missions so the person who has played single digit hours might not pick up on it. Even if you teleport around it still takes a while and is stomping on the brakes of the pace of the game at a critical time for newbies. Every single new player ive been with has stopped having fun the moment they are forced to do eidolon or fortuna stuff.
A quarter into the video, I realize that if Warframe ever died and there were to be another game in its stead, it would not exactly benefit from a sequel, it would actually be a better idea to play a Prequel. In some way, 1999 will serve as lore or an alternate universe to our current story, but in essence, there's a lot to the Warframe lore that is even juicier, begging to be explored. For one, we barely know about the Dax, Sentients, or Orokin unless you read through the hidden lore, but it's still a puzzle. Another one is that we'd like to actually experience first hand the Warframe lore, but in addition, I think the biggest ace up DEs sleeve is the Jordan Karis experience. I think everyone can agree on all of this.
I took a break off destiny, tried the first descendant, went straight back to warframe after finding out about cross save.
I started the game back in early 2022 and barely racked up to 5hrs of game time due to the steep learning curve i had to go through just to get myself acclimitised to the games content. Came back 2 months ago and im at 100+ hrs and already gotten my first kuva weapon, necramech and archwing with a fully spec railjack which has been my main game mode lately and im drfinitely planning on staying with the game for a long long time
This is sooo nice! :D
I am super happy that you are having such a great time! Enjoy every moment of it ;)
Yeah, it's awesome to see. I've been playing this game for so many years now, the devs, the gameplay, and the story keep me here. So, to see so many other people joining the community, even bigger streamers, brings me quite a bit of joy. It has been fun watching vids of new peeps experiencing the quests or building a new frame for the first time.
Warframe will always be my Safe Place and space, to distract my self and hanging around with the community, ive have so much great memories with that game, glad to be a part of it.
i just wanna say somebody who has played warframe since and been a fan of of since launch i came back just a couple days ago and has been blown away since, i know this game meant alot to me when i cried cause i saw my rail jack, MY RAILJACK, i solo built that thing maybe thats why for someone who takes care of the dojo alone, but ive done new war, amazing, just did the quest for 1999 was blown away, so im def going through this resurgence and having a blast
I always salute the people that pay into warframe, because these are the people that let that people that don't, enjoy the game. Who cares if i have to grind for 5 hours to get protea, and someone else buys her. They just did the grind in real life.
Or you grind other things for platinum and buy a prime warframe at the market having spent less time and no money in the end.
@@sirloollonator we spend money because we want to, not because we have to. personally i just want to support the company :p
@@sirloollonator But you do know that in the end you need to max level both the normal and the prime because they give seperate mr xp right? Also always running relics gets stale, mate. At 1200 hours you enjoy doing different tasks.
@@Bl1n Yeah, I never run relicts actually :D And I dont care about having all the xp either, I just want to have fun and do cool stuff.
I started late last summer and still having a blast, meanwhile I haven't touched D2 since March 2nd of 2023, and will remind collecting dust in my Steam Library.
Started 5 years ago in 2019. MR28 now still loving the game.
As someone that atarted abouut 120 days ago and already has +700 hours, its a great time to join the game
6 hours a day, every day, no breaks? I wish I had your time and energy
@ARatherDapperTapir God, I wish I did too!
A lot of that is honesty idle time while I have to take care of things at home.
Sometimes, after work, I boot it up, and it spends an hour or two open. All I've really done is reset my extraction drones and maybe gotten a mission in
I played Warframe in 2016 for approximately 50-100 hours on PS4 and then after 426 hours in TFD I got on Warframe, linked my old PS account to PC, and started grinding again. Fun game.. but damn there's so many years worth of grinding.
Happy you're having a good time. Enjoy! :D
I'm still waiting patiently on the crysis 3 review
i started maybe 2 weeks ago and binging your content definitely helped me stick to the game and now i’m mr13 and i love it!
Oh wow, what a success story! :D
I'm really happy that I could help you get into the game more smoothly
Honestly warframe is cool but at MR10 I’m just thinking ‘what am I doing’
finish the star chart, start optimizing builds, farm plat, buy more things, level more things, get MR higher, repeat till you get bored.
thats warframe, and it seems to keep us all in the game, for some reason xD
That will continue until you're in your mid MR20's. Then you'll say: "what am I doing? Idk.... but at least I've some dope weapons and other crap that could blow up a planet"😎
@@KrafnarYeah, it's getting boring fast unfortunately
I started warframe back in 2017 or 2018 and have been playing on and off since, but now, I really have been enjoying the game way more than I thought I would‼️
Tbh is better to start this later in the version of the game since everything literally teaches you how to maneuver the mechanics and the community even has specific places and pages on how to play. And since a new player COULD start out in the latest version of Warframe, it could benefit them by having more access to the wide variety instead of the old version and being a late game player who waits maybe a couple months just grinding to oblivion waiting for the next big update
I've been obsessed with Warframe for almost 2 years. There is always something new to do or grind, and while it may seem dumb to some people, it just keeps me coming back. And, yes, the community is incredibly helpful and pretty cool.
I started playing Warframe in late 2017, and since then I go through phases of grinding the life out of the game and then not playing for a long time. Somehow I just keep coming back like this game is calling out to me.
I've always found that WF calls me back for it's movement alone. No other game can scratch the itch, and while other games can do the looter/shooter aspect as well or better they just can't hold up to the pure joy of the movement system.
I started to play this game in 2013 , a lot of time passed, a lot of updates. I witnessed the development from the start and I can say that this game went through a ton of stuff and changes. I'm not gonna lie, it's not perfect, almost nothing nowadays is perfect, but it is definitely worth your time. I don't know a game that is more than a decade old and still has such a big online and fanbase, still have developers working on it and making it better. And I just love to see how much love the game I grew up with gets.
Much love to DE and all warframe players❤
Comment your starting year, interesting to see when everybody started
11:59 after 100 hours you make you character (second dream)
I think something that people need to be more transparent a about is that the game gives you severely limited weapon and warframe slots. Warframe slots cost 20 plat each. Weapon slots are 2 for 12. The game gives you 50 plat (the premium currency) to start limiting your ability to purchase these to two warframe slots or 1 warframe and 4weapon slots. Base price for plat is 70 for 5 dollars on steam. There are a few ways to get these in game but they are way more rare than builiding/buying weapons are. And before anyone says something dumb like they can trade on the market the average person is not gonna understand how to correctly use the market to their advantage at such an early mastery rank nor will they have access to half the missions or fissures that would allow that to be a viable option
I didn't read it all but you can trade very easily with cracking relics for prime parts
Yeah, I suggested that people should start with 10 frame slots and 50 weapon slots, also 3 starter frames free upfront
You're so spot on, I didn't even understand or try to understand the in game market until I was MR20+
Yeah, I think the limited Slots can come across as a big turn off for new players. Sure, trading for them is easy if you know what you're doing but then again most necomers don'r really have hundreds of hours of experience to be able to cut corners.
