MASSIVE Warframe Changes Coming Soon! | Devstream 181 Breakdown

[@peeposit3595]

You said Pablo has been cooking in regards to the companion stuff. While true, the Lead Gameplay Programmer, Grant was mostly in charge of and should be getting most of the credit.

[@DawnAfternoon]

Grant is the companion rework guy, he's basically Pablo Jr. and I couldn't be happier for it

[@shib5267]

This is something Tim Cain, who worked on the og fallout, always talks about, it's impossible to actually credit someone because then you have these guys that pop out and say "what about me, what about that guy???" and everyone's mad Very funny seeing it in the comments of a random video

[@Brozime]

Some of it was in bits and pieces afterward and on Twitter but I tried to collect everything!

[@__Albin__]

Returning to Warframe after taking breaks is like returning into a warm hug. My break was short, yet I got back to 3 unwatched dev shorts (I did watch a few when I didn't play) the devstream itself, and now while updating the game, this video. I have not even got back to playing the game itself, and I'm still reminded of some of the reasons why I love it.

[@microArc]

i just want a valkyr rework 😭 claws are so short range that they aged like hell, paralysis is borderline worthless, ripline is only good for getting around. i want sevagoth's claws, paralysis to have the augment built in and range buffed, (warcry is fine) and the 1 should be cheaper, not interact with enemies, and should be able to be hold-casted to make like an ivara dashwire. seriously though the nova buffs are a fantastically pleasant surprise.

[@eliaspanayi3465]

Ripline should have a secondary function to group enemies imo

[@luddbros689]

Well, you know what they say about patience, right?😅😅😅

[@proximityclockworkx1572]

And I just want my Frost rework. Sick of needing 2-3 augments to do what other frames do without augments. Nova of all frames gets major buffs. She was already goated like wtf But hey, at least snowglobe no longer cockblocks shots.

[@microArc]

@@proximityclockworkx1572 dude that would be so damn cool. at least we can helminth ensnare for now for a similar effect. I'm just upset that inaros pocket sand does what paralysis *should* do. i don't think any ability in the game fell off as hard as paralysis... maybe loki decoy, but even that can be used with his switch teleport for some useful cases.

[@boolin8286]

At least claw damage is really good. I personally don't find an issue with the range either, but I also run primed reach on her claws. I agree about paralysis and ripline though.

[@peemick]

Still in the Oberon Rework Waiting Room then :) Digging the Shrine Maiden theme, threads of fate, abilitys in the hands of fate, cutting the treads of fate cuts your life short, great (even if a bit greek) interesting but slightly concerned that she will be inconsistent.

[@seanfortes7156]

I did enjoy Tennocon this year, but man, if DE keeps this up, I might start looking forward to some of the Devstreams after Tennocon as much. When they announced they only had an hour because of the circumstance of having the Devstream live and at TGS, I was a bit worried, we might not get too much info, but they packed in so much info in that hour. Even with having to deal with translations. I also am a big fan of how we got some stuff we weren't aware of, like the Nova adjustments, and given the update is out next week, it feels like a shadow drop in a way. I like when they announce huge stuff, thats about to be released a week later. This Devstream had quite a bit of that. Would be nice to have more "surprises" like that in the future. Also makes me excited to see what they are going to do with Trinity and Nyx. Thanks for the recap (watched the stream and sympathise with trying to recap so much dense information in a presentable way).

[@Prof_Pangloss]

Re: Steam auto login, I play a lot on steam deck and comfortably say that while it plays like a dream the one thing seriously holding it back is the need to type in my password every time. At least on my desktop I can use a password manager. Steam auto login with Warframe is genuinely a game changer for this handheld.

[@andresperez8658]

[@__Albin__]

The auto login on Steam is great. As someone using a password manager I have to move over to my browser, sometimes log into the manager if I haven't, search for the Warframe password, copy it, move back, paste it, and then log in. Password managers are great for many reasons, but for things it can't auto fill (Meaning not browser or phone) it's a mild inconvenience. And Warframe being the only such thing I need to regularly log into, it's notably annoying. So this is one of those small things that'll save so much time over the years.

[@ODedonlife]

I. CANNOT. WAIT. to use Nova's subsume on Titania now.

[@thatonepenguinperson618]

Strangely, this devstream felt like the second half of Tennocon I was waiting for. I'm kind of disappointed we didn't get any info like this during that event.

[@cocoxcocoa]

Agreed, This years Tennocon felt a little light, and I think if we got all this info it would have been one of the best Tennocons.

[@Prof_Pangloss]

I think Tennocon is mostly going to pay off at the end of the year because of how much time was spent on 1999. They hinted at all the stuff we're getting now, so it's only working out to their benefit that we get to see the rest of the iceberg under the "unannounced Warframe updated" that has turned into Komei

[@ThePickoo]

Just the relic changes alone was the only reason I even used alecaframe, very happy

[@Bampaloudu64]

I'm super happy about the reworks, without any preference. - Being able to play Hildryn the way she should, with her 4, might be super fun. However I still think that her exalted weapon should have been an archgun, just thematically. Holding a small pistol as an exalted is... not what I'd have expected from seeing her design. - Nova's rework wasn't "needed" but all the QoL changes are welcomed especially being able to switch between slow and speed for her 4, without building for negative strength anymore. I find the passive to be a bit uninspired but it will solve any energy issue you could meet by just putting Equilibrium, which might already be the case. - Caliban's rework is probably everything I could want except the fact that he loses the armor/shield strip field from his 4. I wish DE considers to keep it. Another issue could be that his sentients have 3 modes, and players are probably going to stick to one, but it's fine. For the rest, I wonder how his 4's explosions will work and if it will nuke consistently. I'm a bit concerned about the survivability of his sentients too (will they scale with the enemy level ?) But the "Tau" element idea is amazing and I wish DE implements it more in the future. - Kouhei's gameplay design is intrusting. Having a kit revolving around RNG (if I understand things well ?) is strange but at the same time it can lead to funny experiences. Also getting decrees in regular gameplay is wild (of course, the op decrees won't be in the pull, right ?) - And for the end, I'm a bit disappointed the Tigris Incarnon isn't coming, but I'm still hyped. Also, if you're like me and have the good idea to keep your rivens for "trash" weapons because you never know who's getting an Incarnon, then you're blessed. I have a Sicarus, Sybaris and Dera riven waiting for their moments. - And of course the second wave of companion reworks which will bring much more options to the table and make companion modding much easier.

love when the breakdown is 2/3 long of the devstream, means good stuff

[@RiderOmega]

I'm curious if Smeeta Kavat had a big falloff post Pets 1 or something to lead to the resource buff being genericized. I'm not sure I'd say it ever had serious competition outside of whem Vaccum was sentinel only and when Vulpas were the only immortal pets, and I wouldn't say either of those things is particularly powerful. Those are really just basic QoL. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the versatility that bond mods brought to sentinels pushed Smeeta Kavat down to somewhere reasonable.

[@bloodwolf2609]

Oh my god the auto-password is so amazing I cant tell you how long I've waited for that feature

[@Lucy-dn8gn]

Typing the password is not a big deal but I'd prefer if I don't have to do it, so I like this change. Also as a fairly new player (about a year) I'm glad I left Caliban farming for last, I just need him, Gyre, and Citrine now, I have some of his BP's but the real issue was farming the mats.

[@eloyjimenez7657]

[@MDBO50]

From a game design perspective, Koumei seems to be good for early game players as her max RNG will be very effective and fun for new players to get mid mission.

[@roachprime]

Well guess I don't need AlecaFrame anymore. I pretty much only used it to tell me which relic rewards I already had.

[@jamsbat1159]

I really hope the next rework is Equinox. Like nova, she would really benefit from a rework that makes her two forms work better together and so you don't have to build into either day or night but instead build into both forms.

[@anstorner]

What if the Mend ability gave overguard to herself and everyone if it exceeds health when using it?, that would probably fix her issues with survivality and make her an better support overall and allow you to stay in Day alot more without any fear of getting oneshot out of shield gate every time.

[@jamsbat1159]

@anstorner yeah that would be really nice, but I also feel the stats her abilities scale off of need to be the same. Just cause right now you either build for mass sleep or mass maim. Building into both kinda just makes a mediocre that is not worth it.

[@TURBOMIKEIFY]

If we can subsume Nova'a 4 off while still using the Molecular Fission augment (which sounds like the case), it'll be funny to see the numbers Null Star can do with Roar and its other augment that adds heat damage. Might have a similar result to how Gauss' Thermal Sunder works when paired with roar

[@veearr197]

Probably not--the augments you can equip are based on what abilities are present on the config, so if you remove Molecular Prime, you won't be able to use its augment. Of course you could just remove her 2 or 3 instead.

I'd say given next week is the last week in the SP Incarnon rotation it's a fair bet the new ones will be added as "Week 8" available the first reset after the update. Also looking at your list of interesting Precepts, take another look at Coolant Leak. Making it do damage means it can status proc through Manifold Bond in 10m radius with 360 degrees AoE, innate Cold procs and is slottable on all MOAs, Hounds and Sentinels. If it can have the 10s cooldown reduced by Manifold Bond like Arc Coil then it's cracked!

[@Prophes0r]

UPDATE: Pablo confirmed that Nova's 4 augment is keeping it's current "refresh" behavior and getting the new effect added on. I'm worried about Nova... The QoL improvement from the CURRENT 4 augment refreshing 1 charges, does not look like it is being carried over in the rework. That is going to be a HARD loss for Nova, even with the improvement of being able to refresh 1 while active. Why? Because you need 18 charges to get 90% Damage Reduction(DR). Even starting with 12 charges instead of 6, you need to stay ABOVE 18 charges to keep your DR. Nova 1 scales with duration. 250% duration will bring the reworked Nova up to 22 charges. You will lose 1 charge every second. That means you need to refresh your 1 every 4 seconds to keep your DR up. This makes Nova even MORE reliant on duration than they previously were. And basically REQUIRES you to push range as low as possible to stop charges from escaping, something that they went out of their way to say they didn't want. I like everything else about the rework, except maybe the portals having charges instead of duration...because no Nova ever complained about their 95 second portals not sticking around long enough. Unless portal charges also scale with duration, that's going to be a minor nerf too. And Antimatter Drop is still going to be useless, since DE explicitly denies us the ability to charge it with multishot weapons. This seems entirely unreasonable in the current meta. Using Drop and snap-shotting it with a Tigris was a skill-game. It let you get good at something to increase your power, which is what a game is SUPPOSED to be encouraging. Nova 2 will still be the default replacement.
