How I played Warframe as a new player

[@fragg124]

That’s what everyone seems to miss, you aren’t expected to know, you’re expected to LEARN. That’s why you start as an amnesiac !

[@LobsterDeity]

Mondly is a terrible language learning service. The English learning Spanish is fine, everything else is machine translated to other languages. You will sound terrible if you try to speak to a native speaker, sometimes to the point of incoherence.

[@LobsterDeity]

@@All4Chaos151it’s not forced dei. It’s old school 2008 type inclusivity. Not forced. Just great characters that some happen to be gay.

[@apophisdd]

To add info about the Nightwave Store - a single NW credit sells for 5000 regular credits. That equates to 750k credits from the (150 cred) lvl1 NW award (always the case), plus another 250k from the (50 cred) lvl5 (I think is always the case). For a new player, that million credits can be better spent on MK1 weapons and blueprints from the store or dojo, than spent on almost anything on the NW store. Your best launch tactic into increasing Mastery levels.

[@Itharl]

After 10 years, this is still how I play. I log in, and just look around and say "What will be fun today?" Sometimes I jump into some railjack missions, sometimes I jump into Duviri, sometimes I do Kahl missions, etc. It's incredibly chill and liberating to be able to just do what I want and have fun without worrying about "falling behind". No matter what comes out, I can jump into it whenever I feel like it. For those few time sensitive things, those are very easy to jump into even for newer folks *by design*. DE has done a fantastic job, their main weakness is that new player experience. I think this analysis is spot-on.

[@kappa731]

Tbh it really seems like the nicest way to have fun in Warframe. I saw a lot of people including myself tunnel vission on grinding one thing or reputation or whatever and burn themselves out on the game because they don't diversify their gameplay so to speak. I understand wanting some particular weapon or warframe but remember that there is always another day to do it. Have fun, people.

[@verandream6675]

Everyday I roll the wheel to see which loadout I should play with that day

[@gerald3389]

@@kappa731I ignored reputation for the longest but when some of the best things are hidden behind rank 4/5 standing. I had to focus and grind it out. Now I’m semi burnt out

[@AlexGamer70701]

Sometimes, I spend time on the QnA chat, trying to help out players, and sometimes getting corrected (I sometimes forget, or make mistakes). Other times, I literally join people who started playing 10 hours ago, and often times I feel them there's no P2W (save for Fashion frame, the true endgame), you should always try to have fun first, and that progress will be made regardless. And often times, I find those very same players spending money on the first 20 hours of gameplay because they thought the *needed* a certain gear to start doing damage, or people asking which is the *best* Warframe. And most of the time I got to show them how to actually start doing damage (mods, how they work, and where to obtain the "best" ones), and that, even if there are better Warframes, those are very much situational; that there is not one that is above all.

[@KiillahX]

@@Itharl new players wants everything auto. Using brain, googling, checking wiki and YouTubing is not a skill they possess. Such an easy basic game already. The only area of the game that requires deeper understanding is when you go into damage.

[@augustomegalindo]

Warframe is the home you'll always return to, play it for 1~2 months, take a break, play something else, and then come back for the new content

[@rosoboy]

this is literally how ive been playing it for the past 3 years

[@xuanhiepluong4798]

The clan building is the most time consuming

[@MrPsychopathy]

There are few other games I've found to be like this, Vindictus comes to mind but it had a serious issue with its servers. Similar to Warframe, being able to do content with new and different characters with a very good combat system and ahead of its time graphics kept pulling me back to it. Smite is another such game, it was way better graphics than any other MOBA when it came out and had amazing combat mechanics and with continuous influx of new characters just made it fun every time you pick it up. But only Warframe scratches that collector itch.

[@Neo-Bladewing]

"Don't meta yourself out of enjoyment" The great thing about Warframe is that, while a meta *definitely does exist,* every Warframe can excel somewhere if you like how they play. Once you learn the intricacies of how to build your Warframes and weapons, you can more or less pick what you want at random, plop down into any mission, and still stand a solid fighting chance. Play the frame that speaks to you most and don't listen to naysayers. You don't have to choose Revenant or Khora or Gauss if you don't want to. Excalibur as your forever main? Go for it! Like Valkyr? You can make her *scary* if you put in some extra love. Just have fun ^^

[@DawnAfternoon]

As someone who took Nyx, arguably the least played Warframe to level cap... This man here gets it. The game gives you so much tool to make even arguably the least useful Warframe be able to do the hardest content the game has to offer. This game is as much a set of lego bricks as it is a video game.

[@kaly8329]

While im here thinking Ivara is actually the least played Warframe because of how her invis work.​@@DawnAfternoon

[@Just_A_Chill_G]

I literally main Excalibur… I’m doing anywhere from 8k-120k damage on a slash dash depending on my melee combo which I can get real high real quick and maintain very easily, I use Nikana prime with a 96% base crit chance with a plus 10% per melee combo so I can get it over 200% crit (red crits) very easily, and I have a 220% ability damage increase, so running exalted blade and then slash dashing… lota damage… it’s fun, but not sure it can handle steel path just yet as it struggles to solo some of the newer content (the void ship thingy map and the newer map on diemos)

[@MemoryMori]

Becouse Warframes dont matter...just weapons and prime mods -.-"""

[@JCascade6065]

Can confirm, made Valkyr **scary**!

As an original Warframe player that is still playing after 11 years and more than 5,5k hours it’s such a pleasure to watch such an honest and authentic creator give a go at this cherished game I play and see it through your eyes anew after so many years dominating it and partially losing the perspective of a new player. It’s been such a treat watching all your vods and takes, I hope you keep enjoying Warframe and for anybody who is new and wants any help my name ingame is Pravious I play in Europe and you can freely contact me and ask :)

[@FlameSoulis]

Same. As a returning Grand Master, my inbox was flooded with "Here's all your stuff back we changed (which broke the math on virtually all my frames when you get 15 Forma back)" and... honestly, it's just intimidating to come back and see all the changes.

[@MonkeyCurler]

Same boat here. Only MR 25 at 4k hours and I spend most of my time helping out newbies. It's cool being vicariously new through others again

Yup. Loving seeing those videos where people trying Warframe for the first time, and fall completely in love with it.

You're an OG in my book. Warframe was my first PS4 game and one of the first I co-opted with my son. I'm still not sure what I'm doing in it. Haven't played in a while. I just got my PS5 working again. Thank you for this

I can't wait for you to upload a video about Warframe: 1999 once it drops. Also I want to say how much I enjoy that you're just straight talking, giving your concise input, with no background music. It's just you and the essay and that's the best part about your videos.

[@cursed69420]

i completely understand and appreciate the "jump right in and do whatever seems fun" mentality, but for me i just cant do it. i like some structure in my games, so sometimes i would get incredibly overwhelmed with the amount of systems and things to do within the game. something that really helped me was setting goals for myself, or milestones. my first one was unlocking wisp. i essentially reverse engineered how to unlock her and just followed those steps until i did. it felt incredibly rewarding to do so. if you're like me and struggle with being overwhelmed, try picking a specific frame, quest, item, weapon, etc to focus on getting. might help

[@MrRhoidRage]

This is how I feel about no man’s sky. Like there’s just too much content and zero structure or direction to help explore that. Sure I could do it myself but there is such a thing as “too many options”. The same reason 5 star restaurants have limited rotating menus.

[@cursed69420]

@@MrRhoidRage completely agree. funny enough I also had a similar experience with nms, but when I focused on specific tasks I was able to block out all of the other things going on around me and enjoy the atmosphere of the game. also helped that I duped the shit out of items so I was obscenely rich 😂

[@banditmc12]

Hundred percent, I got 1000 hours and still sometimes feel overwhelmed with the content. Choose something you want to do and play that, that’s the best way to play

[@revvylevvy96]

I am very much the same. My brain works best when I set goals. Lately that's been grinding to the next MR rank, pushing Steelpath, leveling a specific Syndicate or hunting the mods for a weapon build, etc. it helps grounds me and provides a sense of personal progression when I meet those milestones.

[@MrPsychopathy]

You can't go wrong with starting off by unlocking all planets if you are looking for early game structure. That's very easy initial structure, because doing junctions will still get you to do other things.

[@macobber]

Started playing after I saw your videos. Over 140 hours in about a month😂 this game is so flipping good. Can't believe I slept on it for so many years without looking into it further. I've got my girlfriend as well as my best mate into it too. Just about to start The War Within together after getting our Necramechs built and levelled. Safe to say im addicted.

[@etceterax144]

Mastery rank 30 here. This is Exactly what I did to get into the game. Just do the star chart, the regular planets, and such and then find something that you like. Want to stop time? Get limbo. Want to teleport and nuke the room? Get nova. Want to GO FAST get volt or guass. Want to fly and do TONS of damage? Get titania. Want to hover and use tornados? Get zephyr. Necromancy? Play nekros or revenant. You want to try out, go get it and play with it. The game has an ingame list of all the items in the games, all the weapons, all the war frames, so you can see what you have and what you don't have

your warframe videos actually got me into warframe so thank you for that. It's been the most fun I've had in years while playing a video game and not a single hour of my 300+ hours felt like a stretch or felt boring at all. I still can't belive how this free game puts to shame like 90% AAA studios.

[@Blayda1]

I was pretty late coming to the game, just over 2 years ago when friends who played it for years finally got me to install it ,, It was a MASSIVE eye opener to such an amazing game which had gone under the radar. Best of all the community , having played other games like WoW etc and the amazingly toxic community's that are there ,, this was a breath of fresh air.

[@Desdemona-XI]

So as one of those veterans (2014) my notes are: None. This video is perfect Well structured and succinct for a game as nebulous as warframe is. Ive seen other guides and while they tend to go into minutea more they also over stress things that date the video, Warframe is a constantly evolving game based around flexibility and freedom. Minmaxing is almost never even warranted let alone needed. And builds and playstyles are so interdependent that following build guides may make a frame you'd normally love, play in a way that you find less enjoyable. So i think this video covers the absolute essentials, and this would be the first video i give to someone starting the game (the second being the other one of your videos you mentioned) Because technical info is all very well and good, but to truly appreciate warframe you really gotta break some bad habits of approaching it like you would approach other live sevice games. Warframe is a very unique video game in its core philosophy so even approaching it like you would approach destiny, warframes closest comparison . Doesn't quite work, because the games are laid out very differently ecen if the core loop of guns and powers feels comparable

[@NachoPulga]

Never dropped here this quick

[@Satsaru]

You could even say it was _legendary_ how quickly you dropped here?

[@Korinthian]

As a long time on-and-off-again player, I think this is a great New Player primer. Your advice rings true for a lot of things, especially games and the semi-recent over-metagaming of experiencing new games. Warframe is incredibly dense, and while that can be intimidating, getting past it is done by exactly what you said: just play. Play, find things that excite you, and take your time. There's over a decade of content to get into (none of which has been removed, minus some very minute things that were only removed because they were experimental systems that did not land for Digital Extreme's vision). Warframe is a truly special treat of a game. It respects your time, it provides meaningful and enjoyable progression, and it boasts some incredible story (and even more incredible music!) that deserves to be experienced and enjoyed. Because of the game's depth, you can experience it in a multitude of ways, and the super in-depth, meta-chasing, min-maxing side of it won't go anywhere - but your experience of the game only happens once. Great content as always!

[@azurisuru]

Been grinding for 10 years. Warframe is that free therapist session you don't have to spend a dime on but you can choose to throw money at Lotus and the Tennogens to show some support. Nothing is perfect they said. If WF's new player experience is that tiny scratch in a beautiful painting, I'll just think of Mona Lisa and remember she's missing some eyebrows. An art piece with a faded missing part is still considered a masterpiece. Warframe is better now that they finally synced Steam Achievements, 193/193. Free therapy session, become a Tenno today! Thanks for the new player perspective! Warframe's story is one of those games you wish you can play again with a fresh memory. Ps. There is an endgame btw, deep archimedea and netracells, sort of a game knowledge and power frame required kind of challenge. A sort of raid boss as well. A long time ago we had 8-man raids. We've come a long way and now the end game involves colorful stones.

[@MrPsychopathy]

Best part of WF is that you can solo all the content if you want to try hard enough. With netracells...I find it actually easier to solo than play with a random team.

[@kielajellopecjo2153]

[@RworldKM]

This video couldn't have put it any better. It's not about what frame or what build that will be able to nuke the whole map in seconds. It's about what frame you enjoy playing with the most, and you grind the ever loving crap out of it for the fashion. That's what makes Warframe lasts for over a decade and still going on strong.

[@hermensonsantana3090]

W video as always and I just love how his first "warframe is a wake up call" has stapled itself as one of the best videos to get someone into warframe

[@PurpleNim]

In the arsenal hover over every stat and it will give you a tooltip with more detailed description. Also almost everything has a tooltip menu at the bottom right of the screen where you press tab to move between tips gathered from the community about the specific weapon, warframe or gear that you are looking at.

[@pythonxz]

Those tooltips are so good and I hope DE keeps adding to that UI. It seems like that's the goal since they added the new mod upgrading UI.

[@frankhaunter4291]

Best thing on Warframe is, that it is for everybody. Other MMO's requires specialized builds, high skill level or having a group of friends to play with to enjoy the endgame content. Or usually a combination of all of that. I am an avarage player, I can enjoy Warframe with equipment I like to use even if it's not S tier and I can clear any content playing solo or with a random players. I think that this is what makes Warframe community so great, that the game is accessible to everybody. There is only one exception to this rule, and that is Steel Path Rolypoly. I really hate that bird.... Also DE monetization model is top notch, even if I decided to spend some money I never felt robbed or being forced to buy something. It was quite the opposite, I felt like supporting something really worth my money, which is a rare thing nowadays. Great video, I was so happy to see my favorite content creator talking about Warframe

Somehow, endurance runs are still a fun and entertaining way to spend an evening.

[@unrealhaole]

Been playing for 10 years now and I hit MR 23 last week. Got my buddy into the game when fortuna dropped and he’s got the legendary MR now 😂 I only really max out new frames if I want to subsume them, and weapons when I get a naughty riven. Outside of daily standing caps, past MR 16 there’s no need to grind stuff you dont want to.

I used to play Warframe daily because there was so much to do. I sunk thousands of hours into the game. I still love the game, and happily look back on my time in it. Though now, I’ve felt I did enough in it, got enough out of it, and even though there is new and amazing content, I don’t feel an obligation to come back. It’s nice, and maybe someday I will return to it, but for now, I hope everyone just enjoys their time in the game.

[@thelizardwizard6971]

Hats off to you LD! Warframe may seem daunting but it truly is amazing with how they made their story. It is a bit confusing given how a lot of things aren't given tutorials or guides but that's the beauty of KZbin, where there's countless videos that teach mods, and builds in general. I love coming back to Warframe as a 600+ hour player who really loves all of the new stuff that comes out to it. I will say one thing for new players once they have a ground to stand on with their builds, keep one of each frame and weapon, you never know what might be buffed or changed later on in life.

[@musiccoversdk4506]

I've been playing warframe off and on for almost 10 years. It has been a experience that has really left its mark on me. It truly is a crazy experience going through the years with how much this game has changed since then. So many amazing memories staying up late and scouring the trade chat. Begging people to power level me back when I had no idea what was happening lol. Or talking to randoms about funny warframe fashion and fun builds. I've always wished my friends enjoyed the game as much as me. But the truth is the game has SOOOO much to offer that people get overwhelmed. If there's one thing I could say to those looking to try it, do what you find enjoyment out of. Make little goals and plans and just play the content that brings you enjoyment wether that be the story, leveling your mastery, exploring the open worlds, checking out the multitude of factions, collecting new weapons and warframes or just sitting there talking to people. And don't be afraid to ask questions. Warframe community is very nice to there noobs. There truly is so much to immerse yourself into with warframe and if you open your mind and expectations you can share in some those memories that really made my childhood and is still bringing smiles to me to this day as a adult.

I loved WF as a beginner. Not being told anything, you're free to do whatever you want (among the possibilities you are given). And even if you don't understand most of the stuff, the game is easy enough for you not to worry that much about it. As a walking brain myself, I've never had any issue to open the wiki from time to time at the beginning to answer the few questions I had in mind, building a tolerance over pausing the game to quickly go check something more in depth later in the experience. Even now with over 200h (I know it's not a lot for WF, but very few games were played that much in my case), I often go to the wiki to find where to go to get this, or what to do to build that, etc...

[@j.e3336]

Yea there so much to do. You can go at your own pace. People fear of "having to much to do" is what get people. When I started I just fucked around my ship until I found my codex and found more missions to unlock. I looked at the navigation and just played random missions until i got used to it. Yea after Vors Prize you kinda on your own, but its not that bad. The game is so good its worth the learning curve. Everytime I face a challenge and get annoyed by Warframes grind or lack of direction, after i find the answer i feel so dumb lol, its really right there in ur face half the time.

[@IDoNotCareWhatsoever]

To see you speak like this about a game I would die for, to see your genuen love for this game fills me with a form of happiness and love that is indescribable with the human tongue. I love you and what you stand for so fking much

[@horacioaust]

to all new players, please don't make the mistake of "I will stick to one comfortable loadout, one frame, one weapon", the game is all about trying millions of new things, if you just keep sticking to one thing without trying others, you will miss out a lot.

[@slaybial1]

Already made that mistake. I just finished 2nd dream and watched this video afterwards. Now I understand why I haven't been ranking up, I've been using the same build with the same load outs ughhhhhhh

[@Havok91]

I've had friends come and go with this game. Some return to play again, some stick with it for months at a time. And while I've never really LEFT the game for any extended periods, even I've had moments of log in, log out, or not even logging in at all for a couple of weeks. One friend said that a game should make you WANT to waste your time, not waste it for you, and he didn't feel like Warframe did that. He didn't like the grind of coming back and having to clear the star chart to unlock the Steel Path, which I'd since really started grinding into. Still, wanting to hang out, he gritted his teeth, bore through it, and even had a few laughs with it. He lets me know when he's not interested, and sometimes surprises me by logging in when I'm online. We got him through the unlock process for Steel Path, and now he actually looks over his mods and weapons WHEN he logs in to figure out what he needs to be able to take down foes where I'm at. Steel Path is the ONE thing that I have to say DOES have a barrier to entry, and it can be a major slog to get there when you're just coming back. Clearing every node SOMETIMES requires clearing specific quests, which can also require getting certain gear. And if you've been away from the game for an extended period, that can seem like a HUGE ask. But even then, there's nothing more than peer pressure that says you HAVE to get there asap. I love this game, and I don't think I'll ever STOP loving this game. Thank you LD for these videos (which honestly helped reignite my passion for it) and thank you DE for such a fun journey.

[@mcvc1840]

MR29, here. The jump to SP-ready builds is rough, you're right. 3 things will massively help you get a foothold in SP: 1) Galvanized Mods, sold by the Arbiters of Hexis (guy closest to their front door, in any relay) for Arbitration rewards. You trade Vitus Essence earned on Arbitrations for Galv mods, which offer stacking-on-kill, absurdly-powerful versions of key mods. Note that Arbitrations are *NOT* locked to Arbiters of Hexis pledges or behind rep, even if their rep is at Hated, they will still sell their items to you. 2) Steel Path Incursions, which will give a guaranteed 5 Steel Essence, which is traded at Teshin, again, in any relay. He primarily sells Arcane Adapters for Primary and Secondary weapons. During these Incursions, Acolytes (Stalker Jr.'s) will spawn. These guys drop additional Steel Essence, and Arcanes. A couple of these arcanes are godly, and are *essential* for gearing for SP. 3) Zariman, the endgame 'planet' (Angels of Zariman questline), and the 5 initial Incarnon weapons sold by Cavalero (Felarx, Phenmor, Laetum, and the 2 melees, Innodem, and Praedos). These weapons are INSANELY powerful, even without Rivens or Arcanes they will easily carry you into SP. EDIT: The arbitration vendor also sells Rolling Guard, which is absolutely vital for some frames at higher-levels. A single damage tick of Toxin will bypass shields and likely kill you instantly. Rolling Guard makes you immune for a couple seconds after rolling.. and will shed status effects from your warframe, even on ones that normally cannot do so. An essential mod for staying alive.

[@TheGismono]

I have more then 2.5k hours in the game (having played it of an on), from the first time It got on my radar when I came across Totalbiscuit's "WTF is Warframe" more then 11 years ago (RIP TB, you are still missed). Warframe might just be the best game to come home to after a heavy day at work to de-stress and de-couple from life. It helps that you you can easily spend as little or much of time on the game you want and still feel progression, as it has an ez drop in and out gameplay. Legendary Drops, Did a good job at getting the basis of the game, even missed if missed the whole Spaces ship aspect ;P Shout out to the "Prisma Gorgon" people. && " Clem!! "

[@sephylon2499]

One point I'd like to add: Primed parts can be "dissolved" into ducats in relays. Ducats are used to buy primed mods, unique cosmetics, the sands of inaros quest, and unique weapons from an npc that shows up on a bi-weekly basis. When I was new it was a struggle blancing selling prime parts for plat and dissolving them for ducats.

[@GAMEPRO24X]

While sand of inaros quest is cool, you can straight up earn a whole inaros from circuit. but i would say for any new players looking at that quest and thinking if they need to do it/buy it with ducats. id say no. skip it until you wanna do it or are more estab.lished in the game.

I like the gameplay mechanics of Warframe so much that the provided "Reasons to play" are a secondary bonus! I enjoy the FREEDOM Warframe offers: Movement, playstyle, weaponry, aesthetics... & Self led exploration of the Origin System. I enjoy finding info from content creators to see their perspective. I also like the lack of META driven incentives to gameplay progression in Warframe.

[@chrisedwards6573]

I was an original founder, meaning I contributed early. I played in the closed beta, and for many years after release. I haven't played since October of 2022, and before that it'd been a year. Lots of reasons I stopped, but this is the sort of game where lots of players went through development as new systems were added. It's a hodge-podge of lots of things jammed together over a long period of time, with some things removed during that time (PvP, whatever their 'sportball' game mode was, raids), and as a consequence the new player expereince can never be adequate because there's too much to go through and it changes with every update. If you don't keep playing you'll get lost. I quit pretty much with the addition of Venus and the Railjacks (spaceships you can build and fly into missions). I loved the idea of them and hated the implementation. Warframe had become a job rather than something I did for fun. I still have hundreds of dollars worth of Platinum in my account I'll likely never spend. I was also pretty pissed about who they let into their moderation team; as an example at one point you could get permanently banned from the in-game chat because you used the word Trap. A certain mod had the word trap in it; if you brought that mod up you got permanently banned. It'd have an in-game tooltip for the chat but the moderation was so bad using it got you banned. All sorts of typical reddit-mod/discord mod tier politic bullshit. Developers hating players; specific players, and being vocal about it. It was too much; I didn't enjoy playing anymore, and I had the feeling that Canadian developers hated me for being American and being a particular race, and though it didn't happen to me, mistakenly using the wrong tooltip in game chat would get me banned from chat and thus from trade. The community kept warframe going when it should have failed, but the community also brings the things which make it awful; like the idiot chat moderators. There's a lot to celebrate about this game, and for a free-to-play game it sets the standard by which others should be judged, even to this day, but a lot of the things people say are great about it died a long time ago. There will never be a good new player experience. And I'm never going back to Digital Extremes.

[@RushGarcia]

What about it great died?

[@etceterax144]

interesting insight. I am currently no lifing warframe like a second job, but It's been the best gaming experience i year for me. Tho I've heard about the aggresive, player hating moderation, you know how it works... nobody cares until it happens to you... sadly Anyways, flr me, this is the best game ever atm and nothing will probably come close to hours spent on a game for me.

@etceterax144 ain't no shame in leaving due to scars. That nonsense happened to me on ESO. Plenty of homies that wanted Warframe to be the ultimate cyber stealth game abandoned ship.

[@chrisedwards6573]

@@RushGarcia I like bullet jumping but coptering took skill. But mostly I just got burned out on all the different resources I kept having to manage and the low drop chances of particular frame parts and the game felt like it just spiraled wildly out of control. I was pretty done when they added spearfishing but the animal tracking on Venus was my limit. I've dropped in to look at things from time to time but can't keep any interest. But when I was heavily into it there'd be twelve to twenty people from my clan on at once, and by the end there were maybe 2 on a good day, including me.

[@eugenekowalski8340]

I have 2.5k hours in this game, I joined in 2013, and watched this game AND developers grow and evolve. Saying that this game is underrated is the biggest understatement in the history of understatements. In 10 years thanks to developers love to their child this game bloomed as a beautiful Lotus flower :) It was always a good game to return too, but after New War dropped, it ascended to ART category, just shows how Digital Extremes stepped their game in all this years. I was in school when I started and Founder packs were sold, but if I had money then, I would buy Founder pack 10 times over.

[@zaptrix3947]

Amazing video...great for every newcomer to watch before getting into warframe. You are painting the right picture...the new player experience is definitely a problem, but what lies beneath is without a doubt the best game I have ever layed hands on. Returning to warframe always feels like coming back home. The community, the creators, the amount of diverse content...I solely played free and wanted it to stay like that, but some day I was just like "I will show support and buy some platinum because they deserve is more than any other studio I have ever played a game of". Never regretted my decision and never will. Just the sheer amount of customization and weird things you can come up with is absolutely insane.

[@Toeken42]

I wish they would put stuff up on the launcher for New Players, and did a recruitment run, cause this channel is one of the best. You have a great offering of info, and your insights are truths. I am a veteran player, been playing since it came to steam. My very first played node, I was on Earth, and the Grineer forces were shooting, I was trying to figure out how to move. It was amazing to feel the freedom of bullet jumping and flipping my way across. Then I got a sword out. This changed my perspective! I can space ninja????? OMG. 2000 hours later, and some long breaks in between, and one Tenno Con later, I am in love with everything this game has. IT was an overwhelming amount of info, and I did feel like it was not for me, but i found another friend, and a RL bestie who told me to come back, and we have been trying to get our buddies to join, none have stayed, except one.

Tip about mod selection for endo: Just rank 1 mod from the stack at least 1 level (or max it out as your mod to use) Then filter the mods with "duplicates" on upper right drop down Then click middle mouse on the stack to quickly select any stacks of mods to be converted for endo Also for endo farming, you can target farm arbitration to gather ayatan statue

[@Basschannel1]

Warframe is hands down the best game I've ever played. When you consider how much content there is for free, the quality, the community engagement from the devs, and the availability of player trading and economy without spending real money, it absolutely blows destiny and other live services out of the water. The worst thing that can happen is you get tired of it from playing too much or accomplishing everything, which should be the goal of all games. It's been giving me new ways to feel good about the time I put in ever since launch when it was an ugly void key laden mess.

as veterans i think the best way me and my friends have found to describe warframe is " its a journey" enjoy that journey it is amazing might be weird or annoying at times i personally have some slight ptsd from excavation missions and the sibear but it wouldnt be an interesting journey if it was all sunshine and rainbows. the feeling of overcoming challenges or goal you yourself have set is awesome. i think everyone should give it a go and since he didnt mention it alot there is a ton of lore to be found around in the warframe universe for people who like that.

FOMO is not present here but you still get rewarded with satisfaction if you go hardcore like me. big red number, go really fast, and lvl 999+ enemies. i usually do the most damage out of most squads i play with so being a hardcore player is rewarded.

I started the game back when it first hit PC. Took a break because of life. Now I am stuck at home and have gotten back into the game. Warframe is a game where you can play everyday and get free stuff. If you go to a relay and hang around for a few minutes you get booster blessings from other players. Boosters for resources, credits, affinity, drop rates and more. You can hit the in game chat for help with anything. I was not to long ago watching videos on how to run iso vaults on deimos, now I help show others how to. I was getting help from a legendary rank 3 player running my 3rd kuva lich, I'm only MR 15. This game has always been my favorite game. Take your time and enjoy the ride, see you on the path tenno.

[@paoiue]

I've been playing for 11 years and the advice in this video is very true. Just play at your own pace, find some warframes/weapons you like, and do what you enjoy in the game. I chose Mag as my starter warframe and have been playing her all the way to "end game" level content after all these years. As you progress in the game, you will unlock dailies, weeklies, and syndicates you can grind reputation with. Some years ago it started feeling like a job trying to play "optimally" by doing all the dailies, reputation grind, etc. I was no where near maxing out the daily cap on everything, but that still made my stop playing the game for a year. So don't feel like you need to optimize the fun out of the game. It's completely fine to miss dailies. The content will be there when you want to do it. Other advice for new free to play players: - There is a special 24hr in game mission called "Gift of the Lotus" once a month after DE's dev stream (usually Friday some time near the end of the month). These give you an Orokin Reactor or Catalyst or some other rare item. This is a good way to get Reactors and Catalysts to increase mod capacity on your favourite warframes and weapons. - At some point invasion missions (missions where two factions are fighting each other) will appear on the map. You can help one side three times and they will give you a reward once the conflict is over. Most of the time it's a crafting material but sometimes it can be weapon parts, Forma, or Orokin Reactor/Catalyst. This is another way to get Reactors/Catalysts for free. - During holidays and events (St. Patrick's, Valentines, Halloween, Christmas, etc.) there are free colour palettes and cosmetics available. You can get them in the in game market for 1 credit (in game currency) or through an in world NPC in exchange for some resource in the game. As a side note, @LegendaryDrops, there are the Quest to Conquer Cancer cosmetics available right now until the end of the year that you haven't picked up. At 3:19 in the video the market has a "Community Event" section. If you click show all it will bring you to the page with everything. Almost all of them are 1 credit cosmetics or decorations.

The biggest piece of advice I can give is: Ask questions! There's a QnA chat that is active by default that has a ton of helpful people who will answer questions all day because they enjoy doing so! If they can't answer your question they'll try to give you sources that will! And if you need help on a mission, there's another tab for recruiting squad mates! If you need help you just have to say so, someone will always try there best to get you in the right place!

What I did was watch the original warframe video, then I watched new player guides, then I downloaded warframe. From there I just kind of went with the flow, focusing on leveling my mastery and completing the star chart, waiting for it to get good. It did get good. I'm so hooked. Any time I want to engage with something new I just look it up or talk to my clan and they're super nice and helpful. I'm constantly learning new things and I'm like 50-60 hours in. Every time I go to work I'm thinking about what I cooked in the forge and what I'm gonna have to play with next time. I love the game thanks to legendary drops

Good vid! Just like to say I have been playing on and off for 10 years now. And no, I have not maxed out everything, done everything or own everything. Because I play for fun and not for the meta or completionist-mentality. A cool interaction I had recently was a trade with a new player. After we traded we chatted for about 30 minutes. Turned out he was living in the middle east and was going through some difficult stuff, me in scandinavia with my own problems, but nothing in that scale. After maby 20 minutes we discovered there is allmost 40 years between us. Yes really. It was an honest convo, with no strings or politics, just shared love for the game and some sharing of each others lives. I mean, how often do this happen like this? Warframe not only is a fun wide game, it can be a safe space for chatting a while. And while bad people exist everywhere, this is not an isolated event. This game, its devs and the players who make it work continues to make me proud.

[@IAMTHEJUGGERNATE]

The piece of advice I often give to new players that want to have specific goals to grind for, is to make a bigger list of 'nice to haves' instead of a small list of 'focus exclusively on finding this one thing until I get it'. The RNG isn't awful, but it's unforgiving enough that if you are rigidly only doing one activity over and over again until you get a drop and then immediately moving on to the next thing to bang your head against a wall over, it's likely going to burn you out. Alternatively, if you have a big list of things to farm for, you can split your day into farming a few runs of one activity, and regardless of if you get the specific drop you want, you can then farm a few runs of a different activity and then eventually you'll get the whole list, but you get it casually while being able to enjoy some variety during your play sessions.

[@eastman5181]

Following your videos on Warframe, I feel that a lot of players share a similar experience. I also had friends that wanted me to try it with them, "its free, so if you don't like it you can always uninstall." Didn't know what the hell was going on and just kinda quit. Came back a year or two later and got hooked; shared the game with other friends and now those guys have 2x the amount of hours I have... Its a very long journey of discovery, and this game has truly spoiled me. I don't play shooter games, but I play Warframe. Its just fun. These days I don't play it all that often, I've picked up other hobbies/games or just life in general. But whenever there's a big update, or a friend sends me a random DM, I'm already on the logon screen. I don't know if I really have much advice to give as you covered everything I'd have to say pretty extensively. I do notice whenever trying to get new people into the game, everyone walks right past the MK-1 weapons; perhaps the devs should do something to make them more obvious. Hell, even I was scrolling through the weapons list in the arsenal and found one I hadn't leveled yet... I also find that I don't even run Sanctuary Onslaught all that often; absolutely, SO/ESO makes leveling things much faster, but it also takes you away from grinding materials and Primes. More often than not its more efficient to just go do xyz and you will level your stuff passively; granted this becomes easier as you increase your Mastery Rank and gain increased base mod capacity, so your gear isn't lame for 3 or 4 missions (this only applies outside of the early game though, as early game you can practically run zero mods and barely tell a difference most of the time). The other problem with running SO/ESO, is that if you don't have a full party that's agreed to stay till round-x or whatever, random parties will more often than not just dip halfway through and you'll end up doing multiple runs just to fully level a weapon; made worse when you have Lich/Sister weapons that go up to level 40 and need to be leveled 5 times just to get the mastery exp. My friends make fun of me all the time for having underleveled gear, but eh, who cares; play the game how you want!

Great review! Warframe is like that comforting home base you can always come back to and actually want to support. I've been out for almost 4 years of content and am considering diving back in with some friends. I am going to encourage them to watch your review. I know Warframe's Digital Extremes will deliver. I wonder... Can you imagine boosting the Warframe experience with a companion "guidance" avatar connected to an AI that lives in your ship? I'd pay for the LLM service if well implemented. ...LLM tuned for the game could give you various grades of game specific guidance depending on your preference. You could simply ask questions such as "what should I focus on first?", or "should I try to get this weapon? How do I get it?", "how do mods work on warframes", all the way to full guidance "tell me what to do next" for those who want a more handheld experience. Maybe a free default mode 10 minutes access a day? edit: I just realized where this would lead: End game with AI becomes fashion waifu, maybe even additional player housing :)

Seen so many people react, to your video about "warframe is a wake up call" i believe its called, you can really see people think hard about what you're saying about the game, while they dont know anything about it. You and a couple other content creators and fellow tennos, have really done a good job letting people know about the game. I appriciate your opinions, and especially your honesty about what is good and what can be better. We already thrive decently in the game, but i think that people who likes games in this genre, that hasn't played warfarme, really are missing out. They'll be able to catch up to the rest of us somewhat fast, so there is no FOMO, but i genuinly believe, they'll have a great experience playing the game, for what it is. a really good game.

One of my favorite things to do in Warframe as a new player (and every timne I return to it after a long break) is to target farm stuff. I might run a mission and someone else has some amazing weapon, or someone shares a build in chat and I see some incredibly powerful new mod that has been released. Then I just go on a little wiki excursion figuring out how I can get it. Usually turns into an introduction into new mechanics or game modes, and the combat is so good it's almost guaranteed to get me hooked again. And I'll come out the other side with some amazing new loot. You could literally do a completely different activity (frankly what feels like a completely different game) on each day of the week and have a blast doing each one.

The counter-intuitive thing is that often the most efficient way to get stuff is to just play the game. The developers have specifically balanced most things to encourage you to spread out what you are doing and not grind the same mission 100 times in a row. If you spread out what you are doing, you will naturally progress towards obtaining many things at once and need far less time farming overall.
