In Warframe, once you're in a party, it's generally just rush rush rush. Most of the other players aren't just in a hurry, but they are also really good at rushing through maps, and killing everything extremely fast. So if you don't rush, you'll get left behind, with no kills. The other players aren't usually terribly bothered by waiting at the exit for a slower player, but if you're the slower player, you probably aren't going to feel great about letting them wait for you again and again. You're probably going to try hard to keep up. There is so much atmosphere in this game though. There are secrets hidden in the maps too. The action and mechanics are pretty dynamic and offer a lot of room for experimentation as well. Taking your time, exploring the maps, and savoring the action, rather than just rushing through it all, is quite worthwhile and rewarding. The cooperative play is great, but it is worth going on solo runs from time to time, and maybe finding a friend who's willing to slow down for a more subdued experience now and then.

[@misterfedorattv]

This right here is why I'm mostly playing solo except for things like interception or steel path content

[@chrisjohnston9442]

You are right, as a new player was always trying to catch up and felt like was so slow, but as you said most players don't bother. I am now MR17 and love helping ppl out. Always ask them if they have a mission they want to do or give them a tip like the vaults of deimos. That's why I love the game so much

[@andyh2783]

[@ggadams639]

The game has been fucked since the new parkour system which killed all the game design. But people can't go back because it would be slower, so the devs made the decision to keep to what players want, which ultimately is finishing the missions as fast possible because the game is really grindy, which makes a game pretty shitty now.

You could also capture some of the boss characters to steal their unique guns and melee weapons, and get them to switch sides and fight with you on your ship.

Worth every second worth playing. and more to come in the future this game will constantly keep going.

[@thegrouchization]

Regarding the "Emotional vampires" comment (I know it was meant in good fun), there's a quote from Doctor Who of all things that I think helps illustrate why the Warframe community has this near-obsession with seeing the reactions of new players to those "big moments". To paraphrase: "Because... Because I can't see it anymore. After a while you just can't _see it_ anymore. [...] Everything is just stuff. That's the problem. You make all of space and time your backyard what do you have? A backyard. But *you* can see it. And when you see it, I see it."

"Everything. I look at a star and it's just a big ball of burning gas... and I know how it began and I know how it ends. And I was probably there both times." Doctor who is so beautiful sometimes. I think that's why we and DE can't make the New player experience as good as the game deserves.

About the thing "what devs of this game can and can not do? how far can they go to experiment?". If I remembering things right, DE was on of, if not THE, first one to implement Twitch drops. On one of the devstreams, many years ago, they were testing Twitch drops, giving away Exilus Adapters to linked players for watching the stream for some time. But something went wrong. Very wrong. So in a minute they changed in faces, stopped the drops, laughed, etc. Then we learned that in that minute, every viewer with linked account got about 80 Exilus Adapters.

Exactly! I left the game in around 2017-ish. Came back with LD started covering the game.

I was going to make the same comment. The Second Dream came much earlier originally so it's interesting to hear what it's like for new players now. Still hits hard I guess!

I was board in December 2023 and noticed Amazon was giving away An Octavia skin, thought it looked cool and re-logged into Warframe for the first time in a decade. Was in my orbiter with a Level 0 Excalibur, and whatever other Level 0 gear you start with and two emails in my inbox about a mission on earth where I had to chose between helping one faction save the forests and another faction that wanted my help to destroy them.

Ive found myself somedays booting up with no focus and either blindly doing things or getting nothing done for the night. Focusing on farming, building weapons, leveling stuff, or finding things for certain builds I've found online were usually things Ive done.

The Second Dream is that moment that you get invited to the party that you've been hearing down across the street but have only ever caught small glimpses between the door as others go inside. And you're stunned by what has been just out of reach for so long. The initial shock is startling. The War Within is the moment you finally have that first drink to loosen you up and start having some fun on the dance floor. You don't fully know what you're doing, but you're starting to feel like you fit in and are getting comfortable with the new setting. The Chains of Harrow is when suddenly the lights go out and the music stops. Audible gasps around you as distant noises indicate something big about to happen. The Sacrifice is when the lights come back on, but they point to a stage in the back you've not paid attention to. It's like seeing the club for the first time again but now all the focus is on the stage that's always been there since you walked in, just unnoticed. The New War is the moment you see your band mates walking on stage, instruments in hand, and they call you out of the crowd. Surprise - this was your show all along. They point to your spot on the stage and usher you over. Now the real party begins.

With the Warframes (after the movement revamp anyway; they were originally a lot slower and clunkier, they even had a stamina meter) Digital Extremes created the single greatest movement system in gaming.

I am much of a one trick pony and even after all these years I can always come back and do my trick. Maybe alter it a bit, try new weapons or add more power to it with augmentations. But never felt that I was having to start from scratch which most other MMO I have played makes you feel the moment something new releases. Only other MMO that does the same for me is Guild Wars 2.

i'm so close to crafting my first warframe (ivara prime) and i am incredibly excited. i've already loved the game so far despite my low playtime (i play when im tired and thus i end up sucking really bad) and with next month bringing in free color palettes, i immediately see my playtime skyrocketing. i'm very excited to finally be able to play ivara prime

[@LegendaryDrops]

congrats!

[@TheFuriousBrother]

5 years? I stopped playing over e years ago and viral slash was the meta for 5 years back then! ​@@skuamato7886

@@SmoothTurtle840 Honestly yeah they shouldn't get nerfed because the only thing making it so dominant in the first place is the thing getting tackled in the update, aka Armor itself.

[@Shadybornsinner]

@@skuamato7886I mean viral slash hasn’t truly been meta tbh since the new shards came out and whispers. Corrosive has kinda taken over due to green shards and rad has skyrocketed due to murmurs and new mods. I just never run viral anymore unless the gun is specifically made for hunter munitions builds but most have swapped to a corrosive heat or corrosive cold or corrosive radiation for murmurs tbh. And for melee any combo with electric has pretty much taken over due to melee influence.

[@tennolife9930]

I was 500+ hours in when I did the Second Dream quest (when it came out), boy was I and everyone else blown away. Still the best moment in gaming I've ever experienced.

[@Pepperyo]

SAFE Love your videos! and I couldn't express myself better than you did here about warframe, I started playing in 2017 and personally warframe is a life changing experience, in my case Cetus or fortuna didn't even existed and some of the most amazing quests were just getting added as I was playing so I felt inmersed in the story, and how time was passing in the story as I was also playing. SPOILER!!!! I saw you played the sacrifice, and imagine how it felt for veteran players when lotus after years of being with you just left, and how it feels to just see her as an ordis simulation for another couple years

[@nightmareman9960]

21:45 Tbf they are addressing this as you’ll see when you catch up to the new content coming out. They have a new tile set called the labs that came out with the last main quest (whispers in the walls) that has a brand new lighting and ambience system that looks amazing and sounds amazing. And it def helps that the map design is one of the best in the game being a mix of gothic architecture, 1800s lab equipment, 90s technology (you’ll understand when you get to it), and to tie it all in void rifts tearing and holding the entire place apart while creature slip through to attack you

[@Yor_Marmot]

I hate how there's just so much context missing from newer players. The creative designs and choices DE has made is just lost to people who don't know about the history that got them there.

[@Volkuth]

It was lost on me initially, but after a few big updates, I kinda began to realise what was happening. DE are nothing like the other developers, They're got a knack for being able to bring everything together as though it was always there. I cannot name any other game or developer that does this so seemlessly. Yet even with the updates and additions to the game, the size of the game doesn't really change that much either (sometimes shrinks a little)... It doesn't hog storage.

[@misterbuck1242]

​@@VolkuthIt boggles my mind, knowing the game just gets faster and more efficient woth every damn update, its so well optimized that this is the only game that bothers me if it is somehow slower after a massive update

Thank you for this! I've always wondered it was worth the time an effort. Might just pick it up again!

[@fcold9402]

When I started warframe for real in December in 2019 I played it exclusively for a year. When I finally broke away to other games I found I knew warframe controls well enough that it became my permanent interm game. If I am between games or just feel like playing "something" it is warframe. I am also always here for the new primes and new updates. The game is forever in my now playing list to be picked up at anytime, (like yesterday just to grind some new nightwave, do a sortie, get a shard a good 4 years after my permanent start*). *Note I did play it on xbox launch but THAT new player experience seemed too involved and the game sat on my "play it when i have more time" list for years. Only when they released the "new player experience before the current new player experience did I really get into it".

[@taintedsoul368]

I was the first of my friend group to give warframe a try way back when it made the jump to consoles, and I remember being so incredibly confused about the game (the new player experience back then was, believe it or not, even worse than the one you experienced), but I was also so very enamored with the art style and the design of the game. I believe at the time I played it, Lotus didn't yet have a moving model and bullet jumping hadn't been implemented yet (we got around by coptering back then), and second dream wouldn't appear for a good while yet. It took me about that long to convince one of my friends to play it with me, lol! He was so resistant for all the reasons you were; it was a free to play looter shooter, so he expected the absolute worst no matter how many times I told him it wasn't! The funny thing about his resistance to it is that once he played it, he fell in love with the game even faster than I did. He blew through all the quests that were available at the time, and then the second that second dream dropped, he beat it well before I did. He spent the next week as I tried to catch up begging me to play it so he could finally talk about it, and refused to divulge spoilers for it even when I told him I didn't mind them. I will always be grateful he showed that amount of restraint. Second dream was, and still is, one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. It felt like a strange sort of catharsis after investing so much of my time into the game, and left me in tears. I still get misty eyed when I hear "This Is What You Are," or when I look at my Volt, who has been on this journey with me for almost 10 years now, and was the frame I completed second dream with. He's no longer my most played (that title belongs to both Nezha and Nezha prime now), but he was my first frame, and will always hold a special place in my heart. If I had to compare, second dream gave me a similar feeling that Mass Effect 3 did in its opening hour the first time I played it. It left me sitting there, staring at my screen, tears in my eyes, as I realized that years of buildup was finally coming to fruition. That the time I put in mattered in all the ways that mattered to me. They are moments I will never get back, and that is why I love watching new players experience what I did for the first time. I love seeing that it isn't just me; that other people feel this way, too. That these moments do matter. Thank you for sharing your experience, and I'm sorry for the essay, lol. I may have a...lot of feelings for this game.

[@Nakorli]

This is literally THE review I was searching for to send to a friend (or maybe two) to recruit him. Thank you so much!

[@Desdemona-XI]

I would suggest using the earlier reviews by LD, this one is loaded with a lot of spoilers that would be best left for your friend to experience directly

[@Nakorli]

@@Desdemona-XI Of course I wouldn't want to ruin the 2nd Dream, War Within, Sacrifice, etc. But the Spoilers only really start in the middle, at 13mins. Also his older videos are a bit too critical. Not that he's not right, it would just give me more explaining to do.

[@paulcosentino1140]

This game is so great that watching people make this transformation like you have and fall in love with the game feels like part of the experience for the ones playing for over 7 years now

[@Gyxtsis]

It has been a lot of fun watching you progress through the game, even more so because you were initially wary of the "red flags", as you previously put it, and came around to enjoying the game. There is so much in Warframe that it's daunting to get through everything without having your mind melt at the variety of content you encounter. But here's the kicker. The best is yet to come. The New War is hands down the best quest in the game, and the succeeding two quests (as of today) after that are really good, too. It's gonna be a doozy, but I am very excited to watch you experience them.

[@misterfedorattv]

Chains of Harrow is indeed a beautiful example of proper representation in gaming, by tying it to directly in without going "hey LOOK AT ALL THIS REPRESENTATION WE'RE DOING" and it remains one of my top three favorite quests. Harrow remains my number one favorite frame due to this as well. Eh... Maybe not first, to be truthful, but absolutely tied for first.

[@cheshiredragon7752]

Woo 10,000 hours gang. So excited for your new war reaction

[@drantino]

the curveballs we get thrown form DE still get more curvy, 1999 is still just as curvy. theres a few collectables amung all the tile sets that actually ask for slow exploration of each of these to feel each of them. some like learning about ordis's origin. others like just basic syndicate medals that get a bit more used in later tiles. kurias are in so many insane small places that give a collectable deceration plus a poem for the twin queens for the warwithin. ever new tile set that comes out i always take 1 or 2 solo missions to fully explore every part of it to both learn the tile for faster movement and find new secrets.

[@Sci-Fi_Freak_YT]

As a consistent player for nearly 2 years I cannot agree more (so long as you don’t bind yourself to the meta though).

[@novanexus9112]

My advice for this game. Don't grind too much, spend your time organize for example what you grind and what materials you should get today. Spending your time grind in one go(multiple task at once) well lead you to burn out very quickly after an hours of playing. Thats why crafting in warframe is the only thing slap you in the face that you woke up in reality that you spend lots of time already and you should take a break.

[@cathaldusmiles7782]

New player experience needs a bump. But after that 100 hour slog Warframe becomes the best free game ever made. Second only to minesweeper Also shoutout to the nekros floating away just before the 10 min mark. Peak warframe gameplay

[@Oldlard]

The thing is the first 100 hours isn't really a slog, otherwise noone would play it. It's a fantastic corridor shooter with absolutely no context in terms of story, and little explanation of what it is you are doing.

[@Nakorli]

​​@@Oldlard As Legendary Drops said before: It's far from fantastic, for example the difficulty picks up far to slow. (Only on the Orb-Vallis if you venture out far enough. But I think that has been changed too and is far easier now.) Edit: Though early-game being too easy has never been a problem with me.

[@krisv1038]

​@Oldlard nah it's a slog. The stupid trade limit, color pallete limit, insane time gating , potatoe/forma gate and slot limits alone make for a incredibly cheap feeling experience .

[@DawnAfternoon]

@@krisv1038 I actually think they should give new players a lot of bones. Give new players 10 more trade limit count, have regular weapon and frames take 1 and 12 hours to craft (prime crafting time can stay as they are), fully free first color palette, and slots per mastery rank. However potato is sort of dime a dozen these days that I think they're in a good place.

[@CrowMaiden]

I love that every video features, 'now I get it' or 'now I'm hooked' or 'now I understand why the fans are the way they are', partly because it shows how you think you know what's going on, but then get hit in the face with a new reason to be really into this game, and partly because I was mostly in on my first day of playing with two friends in 2017, one of whom had played it on console years before and one who had never played it before, when I didn't notice a group of enemies and they didn't notice me as I jumped over their heads. my friends were behind me and saw the whole thing, including my very confused turn when they said 'whoa, stealth 100'. the movement was the bait that worked on me, the questlines were the hook that I didn't initially see. the last one mentioned and clipped is my favourite. I wish I could play it for the first time again.

[@kisbiflos]

5:10 for me the "hint" that kept me going were the "invicible living statues" on the Plains of Eidolon. I once saw players killing one, I just watched from far so I wouldn't die or get in the way. I just could not understand what was going on, but it looked amazing and I knew I wanted to go at least far enough in the game to do that myself. Soloing my first tridolon without guides was a big milestone for me.

[@CasualGothgrl]

This may be random but Warframe is one of the best things that happened to me. I'm a transgender teen living in a coutry where people like me are looked down upon and that struggle of not being able to find help or even begin transition made me depressed to the point of thinking about ending myself. Now i find it kinda funny but the thing that stuck with me and kept repeating in my head at that time was a quote from Lotus, that being "Dream, not of what you are, but of what you want to be". These words somehow make just motivated to keep going and it's a quote i still tell myself whenever things get bad. I've made a lot of friends through Warframe aswell and geniuenly i don't know what i would do without that help. It's not only a game like no game before it, but an expirience that changed me and helped me go through some tough times. I'm eternally thankfull to DE for just giving us this expirience and to the Warframe community for being what it is. Keep going Tenno, and dream not of what you are, but of what you want to be.

And then I go back to warframe.

[@lewis18051]

After a couple of years you need a break from Warframe but when you’re ready to come back there’s guaranteed to be loads of new content, systems to learn and grinding to do. One of the smaller system amazed me is that you can change your energy and ability colours sometimes even mixing colours and it’s all utilised in cutscenes

[@tommyredline6432]

I personally have a love/hate relationship with how you have no idea of the things that will be unlocked as you progress through the quests. Like Archon Shards example. There’s no greyed-out area in your arsenal saying “this unlocks after xyz.” It’s just suddenly there when it becomes an available mechanic. Much like different types of missions and such. So the game doesn’t necessarily push you towards anything, it just says “here’s your story line quests, do it.” So for the first 100 hours, I had no idea that I had more to do, but that also makes the game so much more exhilarating when you figure these things out. And there’s loads of em. I’m probably 400 hours in. I got help from a dude who’s on his 5th account, his “free to play” account and he broke it all down for me. There’s so, so much.

[@zanec14]

Thank you for these videos, speaking as a semi-veteran with almost 1800 hours, you have reignited our wish to play the game again, it is easy to forget, especially now than ever(and likely even easier in the future), how much and of how large of a variety Warframe has to offer in terms of... everything really, there is just so much that it's not easy to remember everything, especially if you like playing other games or have a social life(or a very demanding job). Somewhat sadly though, some friends even fear Warframe due to this, not that they would get lost or confused or that Warframe would become the only game they play - no, they fear how much the game has to offer, that a game can *have* this much to offer, it is difficult to describe, but incidentally they have analogues, Warframe(once they learnt enough to estimate the scope) for them triggers the same fear as space, or the ocean, the unknown, the depth, the seemingly limitless nature of something. EDIT: POG, cat detected! 17:20
