Flats Reacts To Warframe Is A Wakeup Call

[@goopydoopty]

The fact warframe has a battle pass that is entirely free to EVERYONE says enough.

[@MrAndaren]

Not just free, but rather that it has no real money mechanism at all. No accelerated boosting, no premium track, it's entirely unmonatized and was implements to poke fun at the entire practice in the industry.

[@Gay4MapleSyrup]

The true endgame of warframe is two main things 1)fashion and the most important one 2) helping new players. When I have nothing to do in warframe I actively look for new players needing/asking for help. I will help them with understanding the systems that they are struggling with, help shift their focus on progression so they can go further while also them being able to farm what they want. It is very rewarding and fun helping others. Sometimes I even gift new players stuff using the premium currency that I farm by selling stuff, I’m not using it for myself most of the time, I don’t mind gifting stuff if it means that someone else can have a better experience.

[@Inquired_Hope]

Im in the same road (sorta), I’m at a point that I can make anything in the game (mr18) and I’m slowing it down and taking my time so I’m not getting burned out. Half the time I just go around and help people with stuff I do daily giving them tips or straight up carrying albeit making sure they learn mechanics. Other times I just gift stuff to people, just recently I gifted 3 beginners a new frame cause they got bored of the one they had and I let them pick which one. (I gifted one dude khora, another one wanted to try Octavia, and lastly as of recently wanted wisp) other times I give prime sets for free. Now I mainly do fashion frame and host fashion contest preferably every month for my clan/alliance

lol i went the evil route of the "endurance-running" endgame got me to quit during steel paths drop because enemy ehp-scaling into long endless runs was obliterated. lmfao haven't played since 2019/2020. although i did tune-in for duviri since that change was right up my alley of endurance runs & the rougelite rng from circuit mattered more than scaling (in terms of fun) during endurance runs there. i also used to give things away tho. Lol lot of vets would always say "don't feed the beggers!" Or "no begging!" in social spaces but i had enough stuff from long runs & also the grind-cycle of trading had lost its fun for me ages ago so im like whyyy nottt. especially to spite the "no begging" stuff or just to help hit the charity goal during tennobaum. warframe lost me but i still recommend it to people 😂 community fun, fashion fun, devs fun. cool game

[@MacEifer]

It's weird how he isn't even glazing Warframe as hard as he could. Some highlights: They were doing some new cosmetic bundles and were asking the audience at their weekly dev stream what they'd think is fair. They offer two different types of premium items: Some items are sold for platinum, the tradeable ingame currency, some are only available directly for cash. Why? The cash items are TennoGen, they're made by community members who get money directly from each sale. DE is an absolute unicorn.

[@Thominouche]

Don't think that's true , at least on console tennogen are also in plat, the only thing that cost only real cash are : prime access and a few bundle and they are pretty much all useless , 90% of the game cost plat and that's awesome

[@rileyhogan8919]

​@Thominouche yeah when you buy tennogen items with plat, the creator still gets a slice of profit

[@thegrouchization]

@@Thominouche Console Tennogen costs plat because DE pays the creator a lump sum up front for the ability to sell the item on consoles.

[42:55] Forma was one of the items that players requested to be easier to acquire. DE actually admitted that they cant change how Forma works in the game for now because a large percent of their income is from it (buying crafted ones and craft time boosting), and players understood it and respected DE's decision. (Formas are used to further upgrade equipment by resetting its level you can craft one every 24 hours)

[@lostythevoid]

I was about to write this as well! but also to add how they still made it more rewarding to get formas since if forma is in silver tier on a relic you get two now instead! I just really like how they respond and work around things like that

They lowered the crafting time to 23 hours a while back, so you don't have to keep delaying the craft into your bed time :3

My Soma hasn't really been doing it anymore, so I should have a couple rifles ready to find my Primary weapon main. Guess my Akstiletto Primes can take up the slack for now, while I squeeze the last couple ranks on that auto-crossbow I built last weekend. Man, I really thought I'd enjoy that one more. Oh well, at least I can pair those Akstiletto with my Lenz if I'm struggling with a fight, just passive-master the Zhuge in the meantime. Amprex?

That weapon was Vaulted. I've got the Link, which was the rare component. Maybe one of my Clan-mates has some of the relics that had the common parts in it? They've been wanting a Glaive Prime forever, I could offer to radiant my remaining NEO G6's and we can crack relics together? As for the Viewer Count being only the VOD views: Yep, those are only the VoD views, but if you watch it live, DE (the devs) do have reasonably regular drops/giveaways, so there's still a quite sizeable "live studio audience", and for which we actually receive updates about here forums.warframe.com/forum/113-livestreams/ Anyway, those things aside: Yes, Warframe is as complicated as you'd expect a game to be after it's been around for 11 years with continual updates and support. That said about 2 or 3 years ago they made a concerted push to specifically improve the new player experience, something that's still happening up to literally this past month (the most recent update: Koumei & The Five Fates just dropped - veterans have been very disappointed with Koumei, the most recent warframe because she's not immediately and obviously end-game, ignoring the fact she was clearly added as an early-game addition to a player's stable, with reduced build-time - all warframes take 72 hours to build except for her 24 hour build time - simplified resource requirements, acquisition method very early, and with a pity system to ensure RNG won't keep someone from getting all the components to build her, and powers that create a broad-but-shallow power pool.)

[@soupgirl1871]

Tbh I think the Koumei complaints are valid, but it isn't the main issue with her. Imo her biggest issue is her theme isn't properly utilised, being a gambler. She is supposed to be high risk high reward but DE made her low risk low reward instead, making her lackluster in feel and theme outside of her decree ability which was actually a true gambling ability. Her other 3 abilities don't change much from high or low rolls, but her 2 does because the challenges have negatives if you get a low roll, and has almost every decree available in her roll pool

[@jasonbarkey6352]

@@soupgirl1871 I can see that. I'll agree, the #2 is the only one that really feels like a gamble for the user of Koumei, as opposed to the targets of her powers.

19:25 "so how do they make money" DE made such a good game that people will actively still buy the premium currency for skins, decorations etc or people like me buy skins, decorations but simply flat out spend money because they believe DE deserves it. Me personally Ive spent a grand just because why not, theyve made a great game that ive played since release i have everything i want or need but every now amd then i spend just because.

[@Divine-General-Mahoraga]

22:20 the endgame is fashion frame. And the crafting time isn't a big deal because the ideal way to play is you farm a bunch of crap, craft it all and you can just snowball into a continuous stream of crafted items that keep flooding in assuming you keep finding things that interest you. And not everything takes three days of crafting time

[@BudderDog]

On a material level, how they make money is the fact that all platinum in the economy was once bought by someone, and purchases from the in-game shop "delete" plat from the economy. This is not a critique, Warframe's economy is genuinely a stroke of absolute genius. They can sell you power, allow you to skip essentially anything in the game with mtx, BECAUSE you can go out and farm stuff to sell to other players for premium currency with no strings attached, so you CAN earn it FTP. They have also been mostly fair and good faith about letting you trade items that are actually valuable, and pricing things so that you can actually earn them on a timescale of days to weeks, as opposed to months to years, like some other implementations of earnable premium currency (cough cough OW2). All this in turn means that they can offer much more than just cosmetics to their paying customers, without hanging FTP out to dry.

[@RTukka]

@@BudderDog Yeah, the developers remark on how they made a mistake in allowing players to buy power, but "buying power" (forma, orokin reactors, orokin catalysts) is still a thing, and is still basically a REQUIREMENT (given how strictly time gated some of these resources are). Buying equipment slots is also "buying power" in a sense, especially with the game modes that require you to use specific equipment, and there's no way to earn equipment slots besides Nightwave, which only nets a few slots per season (which lasts months). But platinum being tradable means whales who want to pay to skip various farms subsidize those essential platinum purchases (and then some) for players who are mostly or purely F2P, which makes all of the difference. And another key thing, I think, is that trading has some friction to it, in that trades have to be conducted in real time/"face to face," and with the limits on daily trades. Sometimes people complain about those limitations on trading (and it would kind of suck finding buyers/sellers if warframe.market didn't exist), but if they were removed and Warframe had an Auction House type mechanic, platinum prices on most of the game's stuff would probably crater, and it would be a lot more difficult for especially newer F2P players in particular to grind out decent platinum. It all seems to work out to create a very nice, fair equilibrium.

[@platypus121212]

I have 3.5k hours in warframe. I've played since 2016. I've been there for content droughts, for hype releases, and for all the moments in between. I've only seen the love both DE and the players have for the game grow and that's been reflected in the fact that the floor for our concurrent players in our most recent "content drought" before our recent release was 70k players. We actively hit the top of steams charts now. I wish more people talked about it because it's working and it's healthy

[@Kriss_941]

It's not always positive, there have been plenty of times where DE has gotten harsh criticism regarding stuff like their own understanding of the game and it's mechanics. However, it usually comes from a place of love for the game and DE has generally been good at actually listening to the feedback. Now I just got back after an extended hiatus from the game, so lots have changed, but I remember stuff like when they first reworked Ember with the goal being to make her more endgame viable, and also stop the rushing through low level exterminates in less than a minute. The rework however didn't actually change anything, people could just swap out a mod or two and still run through low level exterminates, and it also didn't actually address her endgame problems which were no survivability and abilities that didn't do shit for damage against anything with armor. Kinda just seemed like a poorly thought out rework... Then maybe the biggest example from my time, was the proposed IPS changes where they wanted to make slash less dominant, however the proposed changes included making slash procs scale off modded slash damage on weapons, which would have only served to make slash heavy META options even more dominant since they would now become the only slash capable weapons and they'd get an additional 120% multiplicative mod to scale the procs with. It would also have killed Hunter Munitions builds... The backlash was basically instant, because any veteran player who looked at those changes immediately saw that it would just make matters worse, and within a few days DE dropped the plans... But again, it made me and many others at the time question whether or not DE actually understood how their game worked. Last one to mention for me would be the changes to arcane guardian which over night made frames like Nova, Mesa, and Gara into bigger health tanks than Chroma and Inaros, at that time I believe the arcane gave 600 flat armor which basically means you could just slap on one of these arcanes to get a 67% dmg reduction, on frames who already had 90% reduction on abilities, meanwhile frames like ice chroma who had previously benefitted greatly from the arcane due to it's percentage scaling now gained just a fraction of the armor it used to give. And just to demonstrate why this was a problem, if you have a frame which has a 90% dmg reduction that's equal to having 2700 armor... Now if you give them 600 armor on top of that, because DR from different sources scale multiplicatively, you now have 96.666...% DR which is equal to having 8700 armor... basically a on a frame with a 90% DR ability the arcane was 10x more effective than on other frames... You could also run double guardian, which was 1200 armor or effectively like giving these DR frames 12000 armor (on top of the 90% DR they already had) for a total DR of 98% which would have taken 14700 armor to achieve for frames who didn't have any DR abilities...

[@villepore7013]

​@@Kriss_941Funnily enough, Hunter munitions has become significantly less of a be all end all mod now, after earlier in the year they reworked enemy scaling so that enemies have an armour cap of 2700 armour, exactly 90% DR, but have more health, as well as reworking how status type weaknesses worked from HP/Shield/armour type based system to a faction based system, which allows other DoTs to be much more comparable to slash in high level content, while offering their own benefits like Heat inherit or Gas, Blast and Electric being AoE.

[@malpheus4299]

​​@@Kriss_941 Slash is actually WAY less potent now from the HP changes and heat actually outdoes it on DoT now. With new arcanes like secondary fortifier and the shield/overguard gating changes every frame can become very survivable now, no innate DR needed.

[@Kriss_941]

@@malpheus4299 I mean I know shits different now, lots of changes have happened, basically none of the status procs are the same, enemy armor has been reworked, even the damage type resistances have been reworked. Also yeah, shield gating turned basically any frame with a shield immortal... Which to be completely honest is not a good change imo... Just yet another case of power creep in one of the most power crept games out there. Yes I think shields needed some buffs to compete with health, but especially with subsumes being a thing any frame now can just run rolling guard and if they don't have a way to Regen shields on demand then you just subsume condemn... GG you're now immortal... Although I personally find it extremely annoying to do the whole shield gate loop constantly. Either way, we also have frames like revenant now who just has an ability which makes him immortal for a long ass time at no cost. And invis is still op anyway so I guess not too much has changed. All that to say, Octavia was a mistake...

Warframe on paper is not at all beginner friendly, however contrary to logic it's playerbase makes the barrier to entry nonexistent and a very pleasant experience. I remember being new and asking where to farm this mod (Tempo Royale) which at the time was like 60-80 plat which was semi significant at the time for a new player and some random dude saw my message and just traded it to me asking for nothing in return, and ever since then I sometimes throw in freebies for new players trying to buy my items or if I run into a new player and he's struggling I'll help him for a bit. The nice thing about WF is that if you have even a little bit of a foothold on what you're doing, the game is very easy to just snowball. You can honesltly reach "end game" within a week or 2 if you really grind for it (which I don't recommend) but it's very much doable due to the game enabling you to exponentially grow. Edit -- For the crafting, honestly I assume it's something to keep new players from advancing too quickly (aka allowing them to breathe instead of nonstop 12-24 hour grind session til they reach steel path in 1 day) cause ever since MR 8 I've had things crafting in bulk and there are still things I havent claimed at all yet, so the craft time goes from being a minor inconvenience to being borderline redundant within a week or 2

I started my warframe journey a little over 3 months ago now. The new player experience is definitely a little rough, but there are MANY resources out there to help you if you put the effort into watching videos and looking up things on reddit or the wiki.

[@Steampunk_Kak]

[@Dthamilaye]

Plat can be gotten by trading items to other players. Main places where players use plat are: - More Weapon slots - Can only be gotten by plat - More Warframe slots - Can only be gotten by plat - More whatever slots - Can only be gotten by plat, but not needed that much after you get some. - Formas - Can be aqcuired through various means, mainly from opening relics. However, I can go through 20-30 in an evening when I forma stuff, so I use plat to get them from the shop. Forma are used to "Re-level" your gear. Put forma in a weapon mod slot, mods (same icon as what you put there) cost only half now (you have max capacity in all your gear). Thus you might level up a weapon or frame up to 8 times, to mod every slot. - Boosters - 2x resource drops, 2x resource drop chance, 2x affinity (exp), 2x credits - Mostly only gotten by plat. Can be acquired by few other means, but plat is easiet. - Possibly Orokin Reactors and Orokin Catalysts (potatoes, we call them) - Can be also acquired from the (free) "season-pass" called Night Wave, but initially night wave might not be enough. With potatoes, you double the mod capacity for a frame or weapon (or any other gear you can mod). As a veteran, I have tens of these stacked already, as I do not take new weapons into use very often and only potatoe new prime frames (Which appear 4 times a year). On the other hand, all weapons, frames, prime frames, mods and whatever, can be all gotten from the game itself. I think I have not bought any gear with plat ever (11 years in the game).

[@John-bz7ue]

Slots can be gotten through nightwave too but since that's a fairly slow way to build up extra slots yeah plat is the main method.

[@Kriss_941]

the nightwave also rewards weapon slots and warframe slots. Also whenever DE gives away stuff like a frame or a weapon through twitch drops or whatever it comes with a warframe slot, so most recent example is Caliban. Due to his rework everyone were given a free Caliban for simply logging on, and this frame came with a potato and a warframe slot included.

[@bazukata3734]

Invasion also gife potato i thing is one for weak but is also can be forma

[@Dthamilaye]

Thanks for the reminders. I forgot Night wave can also give slots. All free items (from watching streams and such) do also come with a slot (if you sell the item you got). If you plan to get all, or even most, of the stuff (and keep it), these slots are not going to be enough, though. There is the option of just selling stuff for credits before acquiring more (thus freeing up slots), but at least with normal warframes, I would suggest keeping them until they are needed for ... a specific thing in a game. With weapons, some are needed for more advanced version, and DE is cranking out specific upgrade things for old weapons as well, that make the weapons way more powerful. If you want to take advantage of these, you need to have the weapons. With the final end game content (for the time being), having at least the best version (be it prime, vandal, tenet, etc) of the weapons available yourself also helps. As I said, getting plat in-game is very much possible. However, I would suggest everyone who plans on playing more than just trying it out, to buy the max plat set (4300) at least once (or depending how much you play, maybe every time) whenever you get the -75% plat discount. That would be less than one "AAA" game as money goes, and that 4k plat will get your quite far in the slots/forma/potatoe department. Personally, I always get the -75% discounted plat. There are many -50% discounts, but the -75% are quite rare.

[@EwanMarshall]

Weapon Slots and Warframe slots are usually in nightwave tiers too, takes some doing, but you can get them, also whenever they give weapon ot frame via twitch drops and similar you get a slot :D Everyone on login gets caliban at the moment, and with rework it is a good fame, but already got it, and you other one already has potatoe in it, then sell it and boom a free slot.

[@darthplagueis13]

It's honestly not too bad to get into. The new player experience is something that has been getting some love, in the last two years or so almost every major update has seen at least a few small changes directed towards it (for instance, the game now actually tells you what you need to do in order to progress the main story. Didn't do that when I started playing, I kinda just had to guess which quests were main quests that advanced the story and which ones weren't), be it better tutorials, be it some balancing adjustments, re-shuffling of quest progression or even just quality of life. However, the pacing is still a bit weird. Like, you play through the tutorial which is a lot of story and progression and getting to know everything, and then the progression gets a bit slow burn for a few dozend hours until it suddenly hits you right in the nuts with a certain quest that really is the true starting point of the story.

@@erichdegurechaff9515yea that’s wild saying weapons aren’t content lmao. So new weapons and incarnon variants aren’t drip fed content lol ok.

Us Veteran Warframe players have been eating so good with new player experiences. Here to the Flats playthrough!

[@panchumblitz4406]

I will say this after playing Warframe for so long, IT IS SO FUN HELPING OTHERS, like legitemately it is so cool halping new players, teaching them new things, and even in clans when someone needs help with crafting or getting an item we set time to help them out because, we do....thats the cool part...we just like to help others, at least thats what i do, like it was so cool when i found out my little brother pciked up the game and watching his kid mind somehow rack and get the concepts the game with tips, like he was 7...AND HE BUILT A PRIME WARFRAME BY HIMSELF, DO YOU KNOW HOW CRAZY THAT IS!!! Like it is such a good community and if your reading this, i really want you to try the game, even if you left the game in the past, it wouldn't hurt to pick up the game again would it?

[@kovanova9409]

We get several periodic streams all year where we get to talk to the devs about worries and needs in the game is a huge factor that makes warframe a game for its players.

[@BeardGrizzly]

I think I just figured out why Paul Tassi won't talk about Warframe... because it goes against his narrative.

[@alexknight81]

?

[@MEYH3M]

He did talk about Warframe tho. I think it's just a game he hasn't been exposed to. Like LD said, WF is sort of a secret.

[@BeardGrizzly]

He has talked about Warframe insofar as he doesn't want to concern himself with it. Considering the space of games he is in, that's pretty poor on his part.

[@NirvanaNexus]

@9:30 I agree here. A Prime example is ScaleBound's cancellation which then turned in Astral Chain on Switch. The idea of working with your pet monsters in that game carried over into Astral Chain when the project discontinued.

[@NuroMonx]

I think the only think that you have to pay for with cash is community designed skins for warframes and weapons, other than that is 100% free to play. As someone who has played the game for a good while now, they can have my money. If any company at this point deserves it, id give it to DE because although they've had their ups and downs, this is still one of the only games i will forever come back to.

[@RTukka]

Prime accessories are also real money only, and those are some of the flashiest cosmetics in the game.

[@aggaming5334]

Right now is actually perfect to get into Warframe tbh. Definitely give it a goo Edit: Also if you're still on the fence I'd highly recommend you watch mactics and his journey :)

11:15 profit motivation, which is as you said a given in a capitalist society, always ultimately leads to other motivations being disregarded or discarded entirely. In short, if we want good games or good art in general we need to demolish capitalism.

End game warframe is fashion

[@AlasKenn1]

22:23 Well Flats, the end game is still VERY far away from a new player, but there's always something to do. They have had content since 2012 and have been building it since then consistently. Get done with the quests? Tackle completing the star chart, maxing the reputation you have with the various factions, grind for those shiny warframes, take the ship combat out for a spin, get some scanners and complete the codex. And then theres the TRUE endgame, Fashionframe. Honestly, without paying a cent into the game so far, theres an unbelievable amount of content that can go for hundreds of hours, and a lot of that is drawn by the regular gameplay loop being fun.

[@Ibelieveincharmeleonsupremacy]

FRAMEWAR ME BELOVED

[@Maleniax_l]

the devs are genuinely so amazing, ive played with a few in game and they’re always so kind.

[@ycyxd8251]

There actually are times with like 200k live viewers from time to time but that's not every week obviously

[@IIITangentIII]

I totally agree with the other commenters that are saying you should give Warframe a try. I take breaks from it but I always come back and I've always supported it because it truly is the most ethical free-to-play game. There is an insane amount of content and the feeling of parkour gun and melee is so incredible. I don't personally feel like there is a game out there that competes with the combat of Warframe. The fact that you can also get spaceships now and fly your own ships as well as upgrade them and even higher your own crew it's just too freaking good. It's not perfect and no game is, but it's the best free to play game that there is.

[@rednova4553]

PLZ PLAY WARFRAME FLATS. Absolutely love it, and currently have 534 hours on it atm
