The Forgotten Gamemodes Of Warframe

#warframelore #jadeshadows #warframeupdate #tennocreate
Warframe is a very old game and has been through developments and constant updates over the past decade. Bringing in new players and returning each year, with all kinds of changes happening through time, systems, mechanics and warframes are bound to change, however the methods and modes of grind also change, so today lets explore the past and take a look at the forgotten gamemodes of old Warframe!

I think its sort of funny to see that the "good old days" of warframe, at its highest level of efficiency, mostly involved players trying their best to *not* play warframe.

[@johannalvarsson9299]

you still know someone is a veteran when they send away the elevator and jump into the shaft...

[@LumiNexus]

Jump into the huh?

[@dino5373]

​@LumiNexus on the node that draco intercept was on (still exists in the game but can't name a node atm) you start below ground with an elevator taking you up. However, if you send the elevator up and you stay down below you can jump into the pit the elevator was covering to teleport to the top.

[@LumiNexus]

@@dino5373 I know, I was making a joke

[@ReeferSmoker]

@@dino5373 the joke is cock

[@princehusky2280]

People saying eso 2 zone can level your weapon to max, wait until they heard that golden era draco can level up your warframe, all 3 weapons, and companion in 2 rounds

[@cerealmama3879]

Nah, i prefer the old Railjack with Seeker Volley and/or Void Hole, from 0 to 30 in seconds with just pressing one button 🤣🤣

[@derpmorederp1417]

Rather just camp excav fissures to get paid.

[@TheDarknezz73]

​@@cerealmama3879 im so disappointed in you rn. void hole?? The meta was tether back then. I miss it sm

[@adeleyoung179]

Ngl just came back to the game after a 8 year break, idk wtf going on but went from Mr4 to 14 in a month. I’m tired 😭

[@IKnowWhatYouDid3]

The pain has only just begun bro, LR4 is max rank at moment

[@justdillon5759]

By that they mean mr30+4 more

[@rickykuijpers3179]

​@@IKnowWhatYouDid3 an actual LR4 here with over 4k play hours. newer players need to stop grinding mastery and start working on builds for a wide variety of items. No point being High MR without anything to show for it. I believe this is the reason why most players are just very poor these days

[@smoresmuggler420]

​@rickykuijpers3179 I need mr 14 to actually use half the weapons I want to. DE just don't wanna let me use the acceltra prime man

[@actionwarrior2042]

​@@rickykuijpers3179(MR25, almost 26) I only agree with you once a player gets to MR16 (or MR 18 if you care about rivens) because of the number of things locked before that point. Side note: The mastery systems need an update as quite a few things don't make sense (like needing MR10 to automatically fill Ayatan sculptures, needing MR5 to even do the boss fight on Earth, etc.).

[@SwedetasticGames]

I remember the old Dark Sector wars we had. I don't remember which clan it was, but they took most nodes and cranked tax to maximum, so pretty much every other clan rose up and synched attacks on the nodes making them lose almost all of them, and taxation set to super low numbers. As jank as the PvP was (and would deffo be nowadays) it did add alot to the game having this type of friendly rivalry and emergent content.

[@ravendiesel]

As far as I remember, it was ICE clan (or was it alliance? My memory is hazy), and yeah, we really need more rivalry content instead of just leaderboards, conclave really should be reworked from ground up. Would be so much more better if PVP would be a faction war on invasion nodes, but from corpus-grineer perspective.

[@DeaminZaints]

Ice alliance were taking all the notes. I remember being in the alliance and being played millions upon millions of credits to defend those notes lol it was insane, the wealth i made back then lasted me for years in this game.

[@morganpriest7726]

@@ravendieselsince playable grineer and corpus was added way back in the new war, a faction war PvP mode could actually be a thing

[@thedalystreamer5966]

i played on playstation, and the taxes and such never got quite as bad as ICE, we did have our fair share of egos who put high taxes but thankfully they were dealt with quick enough. I do miss the conflicts, we need something for alliances to do, not just be an extra tab (for anyone reading this, alliances were made as part of the solar rail conflicts introduction)

[@Desgax]

Historical videos like these always give me nostalgia, been playing very consistently since June 2013. Always interesting to think back about all the old popular farming spots and how they got nerfed eventually. The current meta for most farms have been unbroken for quite a while, which is quite surprising to me. I still remember when the only way to get Axi relics was banking syndicate medallions for relic packs and crossing your fingers or rot B and C. Disruption being added to make Axi farming a breeze was probably the biggest relief to me.

[@BrailleSoup7]

Nova you brought me back to warframe. I have you both to thank and blame for my kuva addiction.

[@Rithian_Xerox43]

I just now started using the magic space coolaid and now I realize why ppl always need more XD

[@00Grimreaper00]

Gotta snort more of that kuva tbh

[@proyectoanimus5220]

Thats hermos fault...

[@aroudingo]

4:08 Getting hit with the Ratchet and Clank OST is the REAL "nostalgia" god it feels so good

[@Cryoxiis]

Xini Defence will always be one of my favourite nostalgic WF moments - back then Heavy Impact was calculated off how long you hadn't touched the ground so Loki's would wall hang as long as possible then the resultant damage would clear the entire map up until about wave 20 ish. Great for farming if you were using lower level gear 👌

[@somethinggoodddd180]

This is certainly a throw back goddamn. I still think about Draco every time I have to level something up. And the derelict defense oh boy I miss those days. I remember mags unvauting. I farmed her sooo hard with one of my friends and we both bought the hunhows gift bundle with the plat we got by selling her sets. Suck nostalgia

[@toxicsneeze]

I freaking love these videos man... I don't even remember half of the stuff u talk about in them till u mention it and then it comes right back... Great video thanks for the nostalgia....

[@aidanibarra3957]

The whole xini defense tileset is a wild trip of a throwback. I have never done mirror defence since i started playing the game again after so many years and was just confused where that specific tile set was. I will happily check that out later

[@ChaoticTempleKnight]

Shout-out to Deception, when it was its own mission type. Turns out it's now apart of Grineer shipyard/settlement sabotage. I did not realize that until I looked it up on the wiki just now. _It never occurred to me, lol._

[@sonicdh6wolf533]

I remember back during the Solar Rail PVP people would get understandably annoyed with me for using the Venka knockdown combo. It was such a cheese thing to do considering all that was needed was to knock someone on the ground and just look down at them and perform a finisher which would give you a free kill each time. I also remember the short lived Raid/Trial (aka The Law of Retribution) gamemode being a thing and it being chaotic due to it being an 8 player mode.

[@thedalystreamer5966]

i was a tipedo man, was a beast in the solar rails

[@PastorButtNut]

I miss old IO so much

[@CoolKid369]

I completely forgot about old Akkad, I think most of my nano spores even now are from helping my friends level up on that node. Good times.

[@SwidnikLublin]

Watched at 200 subs, now at 50k. What a come up, damn. Edit: props for the R&C Soundtrack

[@NovaUmbral]

Thank you for sticking around for so long

[@actionwarrior2042]

I love the videos, and they are crucial for preservation. Love how the channel name has two separate frames (nova and excal), with your logo (and video sprites) being the Harrow Deluxe. Keep it up!

[@chromedynamo9769]

vids on your channel are so well made its very tough seeing your channel doesnt get the recognization it deserves hope u get there someday

[@NovaUmbral]

Appreciate the thought, but I’ll always be grateful for people watching my vids and sticking around 1,000 views or 100k

[@lonelyluxury.]

played warframe for a long time i played till i could not stay up any longer of course it was getting dull but after watching this channel it made me play the game in a more some what healthier way and made me see the game in a new light seeing the info on warframes on the videos and and stuff made me happy as hell its weird but i like it Noval keep up the great work man you doing an amazing job at the videos

[@chinossynthesizer705]

I used to play warframe, not the meta way, but I like to use nyx Mind Control. Or the synoid heilcor it turns any enemy into a spectar, I used to experiment some enemies can leave permanent allies too like the yellow corpus dude who throws cars.

[@nahuelferreyra]

This is more a "The og metas of farming in warframe" rather than forgotten gamemodes video, forgotten gamemodes would be stuff like desertion, pretty much every archwing mission and stuff like that.

[@dubborino979]

personally would love longer videos but I get why you don't do them. Stellar vid as always.

[@NovaUmbral]

I have a few planned soon for June but since I don’t have any co editors it does take quite the effort working on it mostly alone

[@yabrotha_t]

The ratchet and clank music is bringing back memories 😂😂

[@johnmcpudding857]

I KNEW IT SOUNDED FAMILIAR

[@TAK-YON_]

I played a regular starchart defence mission a few days ago, shit needs a remake honestly it was some of the most boring gameplay i've had in quite a while. With how good the more modern gamemodes are in terms of drops, entertainment and mechanics the older gamemodes really stick out as a remanant from a simpler time

[@00Grimreaper00]

Archon defense mission is even worse since you have to deal with 10 waves

[@spoofs974]

They really don't,.lol it was the same boring ish

[@derpmorederp1417]

Tbh the only mode i like is void flood, the others just lack depth beyond nuking enemies

[@TurretsGunZ]

I so badly wish they would turn Phobes in the old Corpus ship. It could be considered a lower tier for corpus considering how much of a joke the Sergeant is.

[@permeus2nd]

10:53 I really miss that system yes it was a pain on rarer mods but for most things it made them so much easier than the system we have now.

[@Fixti0n]

oh all the time i have spend in ODD. My favorite was sitting on one of the pillars raining Penta shells down upon the infested.

[@rubenvalle2332]

I find it funny how warframe best nostalgic moments are because of DE creating modes, players breaking the modes bc of bugs, DE fix8ng the modes but creating more bugs in the process and players exploting those bugs😅

[@connorwest465]

I spent many hours in my early days of warframe farming on draco & akkad.

[@Jdude-nl8dn]

Love the historical videos - ever thought of doing one on the history of eidolon farming?

[@MadamApocolips]

I started playing warframe rather late, around when railjack came out. My favorite node and gamemode thats gobe was gian point. Farming that for hours was so much fun. Playing around with different railjack guns and equipment.

[@VioletSteel13]

holy cow I forgot about solar rails. Good times slaying out with my clan. I was cringe af back then tho

[@PSCuhtroller]

Love the RaC soundtrack, still my favorite series

[@addmen96]

This brings back memories

[@JohnDoe-cz5yz]

Man, I remember old Xini. When you got mods with completely random stats and infested would get stuck in their spawn rooms so you had to find it and try to kill it with AoE. And not everybody had a enemy radar so you would use ears. Fun times.

[@TheMrCtoer]

Still missing that old corpus defense with the lift at the start, its been so long that I forgot.

[@tylercosner4509]

I would like to add CB to this list. Warframes CB had a skill tree system instead of modding, only slash/impact/pierce damage types were available outside of warframes, running used stamina, bullet jump wasn't a thing but Excalibur had a jump ability, and Braton Vandal was godlike when first released. I could be wrong about some facts and I'm probably forgetting so many others, but it has been a very long time.

[@Giffsen]

Bro this brings me back lol

[@AntiCaesarReal]

The only ones i was around for was hieracon and the emergence of akkad and hydron. Although i never did the interception node for affinity.

[@PersianGamer36]

I love the archwing surprised why they it didn’t get a lot of traction tho

[@jag1460]

Bruh activating some "back in my day" memories...

[@Universal0Life]

I really miss some of these old maps/mechanics, I joined warframe around the time they were slowly phasing them out so I barely had a lot of time to mess with everything.

[@thedalystreamer5966]

e gate, oh how i miss you

[@SkyEcho751]

Salvage would be among these if you weren't forced to do it for the Anniversary missions and do it for normal Nidus farming.

[@Hellimatrix]

Speaking of forgotten things, don't think you can just slip that OG Ratchet and Clank metropolis theme in the background without me noticing.

[@adam15288]

Was kinda thinking the deception game mode would have least been mentioned

[@ghostaga]

I remember the Stephano+max range Excalibur farm before the nerf lol, funny we can still do the same thing today with other frames on other maps with better efficiency too, making that particular nerf pointless.

[@igotmyapplejuice7094]

I miss old apollodoras, early affinity farm where any weapon can shine since it was a survival at level 1

[@theforkedman3030]

I miss tower keys.

[@ChaothicCanine]

I miss all the Derelict keys I built, I spent a lot of resources to have a bunch and then DE took the Derelict, destroyed it and put it on Deimos and all my keys disappeared and I had no refund

[@jh9794]

I remember draco... but i didn't use it much sense it got nerfed around when i found it.

[@miel307]

I used to farm Akkad for credits with my clan. It always had a tiny tileset.

[@ryougahibiki941]

I miss the old Io tileset defence mission

[@Nyxcha]

ah original Xini. during the days of Goddess Nyx (permanent chaos)

[@CrazyBunnyAids]

[@UNGGodYT]

[@dillondefoe5567]

i miss Draco interception.... a fun map.... r.i.p.

[@Kozmokast]

Lmao of course it’s Glenn who avoided the drop rate question, the infamous “if you use rhino, bolter prime, and carrier vacuum you’re casual” he dropped still lives in my head. Honestly the only Dev I outright dislike, even if Scott is a bit of a liar as well with his “I put in universal vacuum but didn’t tell anyone so clearly no one wanted it”

ngl when you say gamemodes, i was thinking you were going to talk about gamemodes, not nodes... u know, like some you mentioned, dark sector pvp, constructing clan solar rails, raid, maybe conclave because even if its still in the game, no one plays it and seems forgotten... those kind of gamemodes

[@EFS4Shrt]

"...things change. Sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worst." \*shows Corpus Ship defense map* I haven't even been around long enough to see it changed, but whatever this map used to be before, I'd rather have that. The current multi-level setup coupled with the dogshit enemy AI is just straight-up terrible.

why this guy sound like he from the balkans lowkey

[@duwop544]

Played e-gate back in the day, on a PS4 that doesn't support macros. So yeah, boring. You missed more than a few Meta cheats we'd do along these lines. Especially in the void for void drops. Good catch on the derelicts. Almost forgot using Banshee, mostly for radar damage, but in a couple of tilesets, quake. Mostly Defense and Survival as you noted. Good times.

[@NovaUmbral]

Raid was never that special of a game mode, just an open ended mission, survivals are far better than Raid due to way more enemy spawns

[@nico._lombana]

​@@NovaUmbralsorry but It was never a game mode focused on enemy spawn, raids were focused on gameplay and team cooperation, one single mistake would ruin the mission. It was true COOP experience, forcing you to play as crowd control, tank and actual communication. I'm pretty sure 98% of actual Warframe players can't finish a raid because they can't solve a puzzle and all they know is nuking rooms to hell with revenant and meta guns.

[@NovaUmbral]

I think you meant the law of retribution or Jordas Verdict? I'm referring to the OG raid mission which was an open ended exterminate mission.
