But still, going in blind and experiencing the Second Dream is one of those top tier gaming moments if you have zero context. Though the game now has enough surprised outside of that that still make the story worth it.

the main diference between warframe anddestiny is. warframe isnt afraid to fail. they dont look at an update and think "will this bring in engagement". they look at something and say, "hey wouldnt it be cool if we had capital ships and expanded space battles, allowing you to steal enemy ships, kinda like a black flag in space? " does it work all the time? no, if anything, they miss just as much as they hit. but you can feel how much they are more interested into offering cool stuff, above what is garanteed return on investment. there's the infamous bungie tedtalk about lets not overdeliver, lets treat it like a train station. meanwhile here's de they go the completely opposite way, "hey, lets add skate boards, and bikes, and flight packs and capital ships, and a rogue like, and not 1 but 3 completely diferent customizable zones. lets add weapons that are so broken, players will ask themselves why would i even bother play anything else, and then, see them optmize them to become even more broken... so lets now raise the bar on all other weapons to at least give them a fighting chance to be used. and every now and then you will see videos about how "this is the new op thing to get", only for someone in the comments to say, dude, that thing has been a powerhouse since forever, how did you not know about it yet? warframe is not worried about the bottom line. the only bottom they are worried about, is the ones they add to the frames to make them more curvy. because warframe will give some GYAT energy to frames, regardless if they are male or female. warframe is not a game afraid of having its cake and eating it too. and yes, im using cake in "that" way.

[@EL1TE10]

Duviri being accessible so early always bugged me, it also highlighted a problem I’ve had for years revolving newer warframes I miss when it was a huge mystery for new people what a Warframe was and what was inside it, was it a person wearing a suit? Are we machines? Then a new person could take one look at Xaku, Dagoth or Citrine and go “Okay there clearly arent people in there.” it kinda saddens me new people miss out on that intrigue we used to have way back when.

[@eliaprosdocimi5880]

Funnily enough Warframe is more similar to Monster Hunter than Destiny. You can progress story missions with little to 0 "Grinding". Instead of having a decent Light Level before going into a new mission. And after finishing the story added till the latest patch (exp. Fatalis for MHI and 1999 for Warframe) you have the same things to do: - Help new players - Find perfect farmable drip - Farm only the things you desire (They will be all thanks to the sense of completionism) - Indulge into the supplementary Lore and Art like the Serious Handler or Wisp ASSets.

@@KaiserReb That game was cooked(i assume you are using the negative implication of that term, cus some people use it as a positive term as well) when it launched, its just a worse version of destiny and warframe smashed together. Gameplay is super boring, no melee, super heavy grind, super generic story, no tradeable currency to circumvent the huge grinds for the Prime Descendants. This is all from launch so if they reduced the grind, it may be a more tolerable but still vastly inferior version of Warframe.

[@satoro26]

@@Koranthus Even if they reduce the grind the new player experience will be horrible. There is little to no reason to revisit open world missions. Every single encounter on the worldmap you do as part of the story is meant for a group of 2+ players. There is no solo mode as far as i could tell. New players will be doing it solo in a dead world. Pair that with the difficulty scaling vs player power and new players will be dying on basic open world activities unless they build craft from the start. I was only a week late for release and I already experienced the dead world partially. I played warframe I know the mod system. If I was completely new I would probably just rage quit because there is no way you will not handicap yourself without prior knowledge of how it works. Not every mission has stuff you will always need as a drop and some of them are so bad you never want to do them again. I would rather ignore friends than go back and to the orb collecting bs missions again. And i did that crap solo it is horrible. People will quit more and faster than they do in warframe unless they solve this somehow.

First descendant is fun but it is no Warframe killer. Basically if you like first descendant, play around with it for a bit as it functions as a Warframe light. And follow it up with a similar game that has way more depth, mechanics and fun gameplay loops. Also their tagline is "Ninjas play free" and for good reason. Platinum is the premium currency but is tradeable with other players, so if you don't wanna invest real money but are OK with investing time than you can make money in game by trading.

[@chase5436]

The big difference of Warframe's "you can buy everything with real money" is that the premium currency (plat) is easily obtained in-game. There are multiple different ways to grind your Warframes. I spend most of my time in Warframe grinding rare mods and arcanes to sell to other players who don't want to grind for those things, so I don't ever have to worry about grinding out Prime parts from relics. I just buy the parts from other players using the plat I made as soon as the update launches.

What would you consider to be endgame?

[@FrancisYorkMorganFBI]

@@strauss_ as of right now i guess it would be steel path, EDA and maybe even netracells. since they give the latest big rewards(archon shards and arcanes). eidolons used to be the endgame on release til we all figured out how to solo them. especially now with necramechs your build doesn't even matter all to much. i even remember DE pushing sorties as endgame back in the day once rivens released. but power creep eventually made those super easy as well.

As a destiny player who moved over after shadowkeep, Warframe is one of those games that is enjoyable depending on the person, it won’t have the cool and challenging gunfights like destiny but it has a lot of systems and aspects that are great with a lot of depth. The only real downside is the grind and confusion on what to do but honestly with how favorable and fair the monetization is and how nice the devs are along with the passion they put into the game, the future of Warframe looks really bright and I’m happy I moved over to it.

[@sekiroweebman9993]

I also just got to the part with the buying everything part, you can buy almost everything but honestly it’s not worthwhile to do it unless it’s a frame where the grind is unbearable (ash). You can start trading early on and build a small wealth of plat pretty easily and midway through when you get to the high level content you can start making plat very easily through grinding for arcanes or gathering semi-rare mods

[@sekiroweebman9993]

Just got to the mention of raids too, those were removed primarily due to them being extremely buggy spaghetti fests that were built for when Warframe didn’t have the systems we have now and was much simpler, the devs have said they’ll add them back eventually but it’s been a while so there’s hope

[@JustRayken]

As someone who played almost as much Warframe (around 3-4k hours) that I did with with destiny (4-5k) Don't worry about starting. The game is MASSIVE, the lore is incredible and had one of the best reveal in the gaming industry. So much that nobody snitched or spoiled it. it just need a try. So wake up Tenno, the Sol system is waiting for you.

When you mention the first descendant and say Warframe has similar systems, you missed the cost differences, which are significant. But also, in Warframe you can earn premium currency by trading with other players. This is unique in games as a whole as far as I know.

[@unhappybacon3292]

I remember people were having problems with Missions like Exterminations because the map would spawn the exact amount of enemies you need to kill, to complete the mission. The issue with that, was that players would have to scour the entire map to find the last guy, and he'll either be running into a wall, or stuck IN a wall. To remedy this, the devs made it so that enemies constantly spawn in.

[@boopadin]

One of the single best things about Warframe is the fact that you don’t have to spend ANY money at all to get the premium currency, it’s an entirely opt-in system. I may not agree with some of the leadership’s politics but it’s undeniable they made a brilliant game with them actually listening to the community that support them.

[@olivergames7783]

I think one thing warframe does SO MUCH better than destiny is community engagement. I don't think I have ever seen a system similar to the Tennogen system in warframe.

It rewards creators and people who want to make in game cosmetics and give them some money on the side.

Welcome Evan....to the party of your lifetime. P.S Evan when you were critiquing warframe's monetization you either forgot to mention or didnt notice UNLIKE *cough* destiny when you to buy anything that ISN'T a skin it actively tells you how to earn the item rather then buying it under blueprint conveniently under buy for platinum. No game especially destiny and its Nexon copycat(ive played both to hell so i know this for a fact) dont do that. Yeah TFD has a dictionary that shows you how and where to get things but Warframe has it to "the codex" the fact warframe went the extra mile and put another "you dont have to buy this you can earn it" warning in the cash shop shows how much MORE DE cares about its players over their wallets....if only destiny had done the same...a dream...a second dream you could say xD

The phrase "Ninjas play free" quite litterally encompasses all that is warframe. Aside from Tennogen, you can get EVERY (available) item just by playing the game. You can trade for Platinum and use that to "Boost" yourself or purchase frames that might be a bit grindy to farm (Kullervo & Dagath for example). Every 2 weeks the Void trader (Baro Ki'teer) comes to a relay (community hub) where he sells some limited mods/ weapons & cosmetics... and a quest for one of the warframes. You don't ever have to spend a single cent, but you will feel inclined to do so, not out of necessity, but out of respect.. given that you've made it past ~100 hours playing (If you've been around this long, you've gotten more playtime on a free game, than anything Ubisoft has sold to date). And let's not even talk about login Discounts... you can get up to 75% off on a Platinum purchase, which brings a $200 pack down to $50... it's still a lot, but you're getting 4x your money's worth (compared to destiny 2... yeah, WF wins on that one).... also, no yearly expansion purchases... suck it Bungie. Yes warframe is a bit grindy, but it's simple once you go to the IN GAME LFG chat, if you just "ask" for advice, 9/10 times you will get flooded with helpful comments & folks willing to grind with you. There may also be a troll or 2, which makes for really absurd & funny moments. The best part imo, is that your session is local (if you are the host/ playing solo), otherwise, the game targets the member with the best/ most stable connection to act as the host. There is almost no lag (but when there is, it can be a pain, if you for example join a guy playing on his fridge with a 1Mbps connection)... but the thing is... that crappy connection, does not prevent you from enjoying the game solo... unlike Destiny or TFD. I've spent quite a few grand on Warframe, and just like PoE, they're purchases I feel are 100% worth it, and no regrets. I might not play every single day now, but it's the one game on my pc that's been on it for the 11 Years I've been playing. And the absolute best part.... you can play all of the main quest missions to this day, unlike the Red War in D2... heck, you can even replay/ restart those missions if you wanna experience it again. I love Warframe, I love DERebecca, DESteve and DEMegan... I love PrimeTime on Fridays (for me at least)... I've seen them succeed, and I've seen them thank Mr. Nick Gurr live... The game feels more like a family, than a hassle to play. If you ever feel overwhelmed, all you need to do, is ask someone. "What is love?"

[@MrOrdosan]

ya. to further emphasis the game is 100% FREE TO PLAY. like people often complain about the grind yes...but they also compare it to a game you payed 60+ dollers for? IDK, Im kinda jaded because I grew up on '00 era MMOs and hack/slash games...were they were all P2W and HELLA GRINDY.

1:59, also, Warframe itself can be a VERY intimidating game, especially 2(i think, before they revamped the beginning quests, I think Duviri update) years ago. It has SO much, and little actual guide. My advice for anyone starting out: explore and develop your star-chart. The more areas you unlock, the more quests you can do, the more stuff you can make, the more levels you can earn, the more idea you can have of what you want to do. However, with that all said, Warframe is VERY rewarding (as he mentions). I like this because it's only rewarding to those who are focused, so it rewards patience and determination (on a neural level). Speaking of neural levels, this game is very intuitive with it's emotional building blocks (ik a weird theme for it being a looter shooter).
