The Forgotten Gamemodes Of Warframe

[@BoisegangGaming]

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.

[@dagantheterrible]

Isn't that what players still do though? That's why DE did the ammo change for specters and Wuclone.

[@theblackishboy1105]

Thats more what the games like now if anything back in the day it was harder for the most part and wasn't nearly as easy to afk

[@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]

[@D4rK3sTsH4d0W]

I hadn't seen that tileset in years, but just yesterday, played on it for a Kuva lich, and ran for the elevator, hit the button, jumped off, watched everyone run onto it before it left, and watched as they were confused I got to the top first. Best feeling ever

[@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]

[@justdillon5759]

[@rickykuijpers3179]

​@@CandyFlossEnjoyer 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)

[@AlexeiX1]

yeah tbh I think some sort of viable pvp is the missing link on warframe and that final hook that would grab more players. Should be something that players could opt out of but with decent enough rewards to entice people to play and with of course good gameplay. Clan wars would be so awesome if viable.

[@Zyga21]

>forgotten gamemodes shows only old nodes being the same gamemodes we have, nothing about raids or the old OD or the void keys

[@ScarletSilverIron]

Or frame fighter

[@BLKKNGofficial]

Or blackout missions

[@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.

[@aroudingo]

[@proyectoanimus5220]

Thats hermos fault...

[@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

[@MauMenzori]

I've been around since 2014. Was part of the Draco Ceres mission exploit. And I played the HECK out of it. For those of you newer Warframe players, here are some curiosities about the good, the bad and the ROTTEN points of public matchmaking back then: The group was basically composed of Excalibur, EV Trin and a Rhino. The fourth player was usually a leecher brought in by the host, no questions asked. I've done hundreds of Dracos back then, and never saw a Mesa like the author here is mentioning. Excal was the best choice because of his Radial Javelin which could nuke the entire map with 1 click. But there were conditions to meet if you were chosen in public chat to be him, and you HAD to know your place and behave, or else you'd fk things up with Trinity (next paragraph). Usually there were 95% of people willing to be Excals, but not many Trins or Rhinos. After all, Excal was a real 1 button nuke, and all you had to do was to spam it. But here is the thing: if you spam it too much, you'd run out of energy quick, so TRINITY would suffer because she'd need to keep up with the battery recharge. So, a perfect, polite and well-mannered Excal player would tap Javelin every once in a while, offering Trin a few golden seconds to locate enemies and EV them for energy. But most of the time, that wasn't the case... most Excals were power hungry sh-i/ts who did not care about Trin and would be furious if she did not EV fast enough, leading to real arguments in chat. Which leads me to the next part. Trinity. I used to be the Energy Vampire Trin most of the time, because NO ONE COULD HANDLE THE PRESSURE of feeding your team. So teams were 3/4 full in chat, just advertising for EV Trins. I did it so much, that I had my own loadout ready for Draco. I'd honestly bring a Sniper rifle just so I could see far into the distance and try to hit 2 (EV) as much as humanly possible. But in the end, you are a hostage to RNG and random enemy spawning, so 80% of the time I simply could not aim the mouse crosshair on the enemy and press 2 to EV before it was blasted by the manic Excal. Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap! You cannot best that! Finding enemies alive to EV was no easy task, let me tell you. And if you reading this, if you are a veteran who would only play Excal and spam Javelin without consideration for your Trin, know I hate your guts. Just saying. Nothing personal. I would not even stand crammed on the same box as everyone else (as seen on 3:13) because Excals would BLOCK MY VIEW with his swinging animations, so I'd usually jump to the left of the box on to a pipe higher up. Better view, no interruptions. Oh, and if you brought a low strenght Excal to begin with, you'd be nailed to a cross by the other 2 team members. I've seen countless low level Excals who couldn't keep up with the enemy waves, even with Rhino's aid. Players were relentless back then. So much stress, so much angry arguing... over a game... And then Radial Javelin was nerfed. But players already had the next best thing ready to use at Draco again, and that was Saryn's Miasma before it too was nerfed, meaning the nuke would ignore walls. So once again, we'd go to Draco and stand at the center of the map, but this time the group was Saryn (nuke), Rhino (buff), a random leech player, and MAG. Mag's "Pull" back then worked different, and she would suck in the entire map's worth of items right under her feet, so players didn't even need to move in order to loot. It was glorious. So, yeah. I'm actually glad Draco's party was done. I cannot say I have fond memories of joining public groups because of those cocky Excals who could not go 5 seconds without Trin replenishing their energy reserves. Geez... Hope you liked the text. Have fun, Tenno.

[@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.

[@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._

[@jamesaditya5254]

What makes Akkad a sleeper pick was you used to be ignored when perched above the suspended containers, and the defense objective has loads of shield and HP meaning it's very safe to boost new players with very limited arsenal

[@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.

[@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.

[@DragonxFlutter]

I love the history lesson, but I think it’s a bit misleading to call this a look at “forgotten game modes” because the discussion isn’t about mission types. Instead, it seems more of a discussion about old grind spots and how the grind changed over the years.

[@ZefulStarson]

M Prime (Mercury) used to be a mission type called "Raid". It worked like Capture, except you were stealing something. The most notable part about this was that M Prime's Raid node _always_ dropped Vitality. Which doesn't sound impressive, until I point out that the transition from Mods 1.0 to Mods 2.0 resulted in a bunch of frames losing stats (that would later be added back in), meaning that everyone went from "normal gameplay" to "super squishy" instantly. Further with the fusion system working off of an idealized binary sequence for ranks (rank 0-1 took 2 mods, rank 1-2 took 4 etc), meant that maxing out Vitality took the equivalent of 1024 copies of the mod.

[@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.

[@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

[@Fixti0n]

I remember farming gold fusion cores on that excavation. I was so weak back then, so I was selling all the fusion cores for platinum so I could get stronger. I'm sure that nothing could go wrong with that...... It never actually clicked that I needed them to get stronger. Eventually once endo came out, things started making more sense to me why I was supposed to keep all the cores...

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@yayco123]

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

Viver was a loot cave and that place kind of broke DE. Viver got yeeted into a blackhole, they did reworked cynda shop at least. What did they do to Xini? that place is nothing like og Xini, I ran Draco a ton back in the day, I heard about E-gate but didn´t try it, didn´t have a necros at the time. I also remeber od surv had a soft spot in the wall and due to a decoration in the wall, there was a small area to stand on, so can just camp there. od deff was a classic place to get primes, than keys. Runing T4 surv was a classic. How long can you stay alive was the question. Fussion cores and void keys, I miss the flow the prime farm surv had, now it is stoping each 5 mins and pick a new cabbage, get 10 fissures, they toke away the enjoyment of that mode for me, I aslo remeber all fallowed the loot table, so I guess the cabbages kind of removed that need to fallow the loot table, still I kind of what that system back, just go into a prime farm without any brakes in the game flow. I do remeber no one liked aoe limbo, cleared the whole map. Solar rail feels kind of guted this days. What happend to Bere?
