The ULTIMATE Warframe 1999 Catch Up Guide!

[@tonngusarugamin8000]

While this guide is incredibly useful and the lore refresher is going to be very good to point a lot of my friends at, I do think the most impressive/scary part was when you revealed/teased this last night at the end of your stream: "This account has logged in -now- eleven times."

[@GarrickVanOnselen]

You merely benefitted from improvements to the the new player experience. I was born in it, molded by it...I never saw an Orokin Reactor until I was a Tenno.

[@GarrickVanOnselen]

For reals, Gold Potato on first junction is so fucking awesome.

[@Absurdicube]

Superb editing and truly invaluable! Have always enjoyed how considerate and logically thought out your new player experience videos are for the sake of those players who need these kinds of videos, and this may be your best one yet.

You can earn traces regardless of whether you brought a relic to the mission or not, but if you did bring a relic, you won't get the traces if you don't get enough residue to open the relic.

[@rubencp93]

26:52 No matter how many years pass or how many times I hear this glorious song, I still get the chills. What an incredible moment... "This is what you are" is the name of the song, in case anyone wants it.

[@legit.peasant]

Great way to get caught up on the story so far. I must admit some bits of the story do get a little muddy and can be very hard to follow. This was a GREAT way to get an idea for just what in the Sam Hell is going on. Looking forward to whatever awaits us all in 1999!

[@lordnul1708]

When the Lotus said she saw "nothing", she wasn't technically lying. The Man in the Wall/The Indifference quite literally is the Void, aka conceptual nothingness made manifest. So in a way, when we were looking at Wally in its massive form, we were literally looking at "Nothing" with a capital N.

[@DrakeWurrum]

When i first started, Loki was a started in Volt's place and you had to farm Volt parts from the old J3 Golem. I still have my old Arcane helmet, too. Man the game has come such a long way since those days. I really wish they would clean up the Alad V storyline for new players already.

[@chaosgyro]

The whole star chart could do with a rethink in order to trim the fat and incorporate the old event stories.

[@DrakeWurrum]

@chaosgyro - honestly, everything after Mars or so is where things get choppy. They did well with the new player experience, but consistently forget about the middle.

[@First_Chapter]

Find the whole saga of lore so compelling it's enough of a motive to keep starting over.

[@sansotandrea4063]

I've been playing this game for 9 years now and i just now realise that the story makes way more sense when you play the quests in order, this video was great! Also to me this scene: 1:15:41 is about how the oposite of love isn't hate, it's the indifference, and the way to combat the indifference is to care, it's to show affection and how a simple affectionate touch can push the indifference away.

[@armondo1477]

The fact that Angels of The Zariman *isn't* required, there's a thread I thought had more weight there

[@marcmichaud1643]

And its some of the best content in the game....

[@malaki7335]

It may be something that becomes required in the future, like how Duviri technically isn't required until Lotus Eaters

[@se7enhaender]

How? Or rather, why? I mean, did you expect the story to focus on time traveling while also being concerned about whether or not the Zariman can keep the hole plugged?

[@chaosgyro]

​@se7enhaender The hole just leads to the pocket dimension of Duviri created by the Drifter. That thread has mostly been tied off now. I think there's more that could be done with those characters, or the ship, later on, but that will have to wait.

[@se7enhaender]

@chaosgyro Does it? I was under the impression that it's the void in general, including duviri. It's the first time I've heard someone refer to duviri as separate from the void. Granted, I am behind on my lore video esseys watch list.

[@84m30]

Can’t decide wether I love or hate that DE relies so heavily on the community/creators. Like instead of making a recap themselves that would untangle confusion for newer players they just say “let them do it themselves”. At least they engage in a healthy way and promote it though. You look at Destiny, and not a single person would care about it’s lore and story if Myelin or Byf didn’t take it upon themselves to explain _everything_ without any help from Bungie. DE will promote and sponsor creators directly to help the community understand stuff 🤷‍♂️. (I hate to be the D2 WF comparison guy but I feel like it’s a relevant point so whatever) Edit: Just to clarify I love the community involvement and engagement, but I don’t love how it’s the only sufficient resource for understanding the game. Like you literally _need_ to watch guides to understand the lore or some endgame activities and how we’ve gotten to this point. That’s kind of the nature of this 11-12 year old beast of a game though. Can’t have the complexity and history and evolution without the side effects of confusion and age showing. Gotta take the good with the bad and appreciate what we have 🫶

[@apexpredator6521]

To be fair DE is really active with the community with streams and Tenno con etc so I really don’t see the difference between DE and the content creators/streamers

[@bruhmoment1098]

i mean there is the console in the cavia to explain a lot of stuff and i found it helpful tbh

[@rensten4893]

Given that it helps boost the community, it's similar to GGG with PoE 2 right now. The community finds the best voices for them and DE can do more focusing on content. And it could be worse where Blizzard or EA don't focus on community as much or as well.

[@84m30]

@@bruhmoment1098 true but that requires you to have done everything already. As great as that is, it isn’t doing anything for newer players. I guess that’s just the struggle for WF; it does such a great job of servicing its dedicated players that the new player experience gets left in the dust, under the years of content and layers of systems and improvements. Can’t exactly have your cake and eat it too, at least not completely

[@JosiahK22]

I feel as long as DE is supporting creators in their creation of lore videos such as this one, then they are doing a good thing for the community overall. Brozime gets paid for making a full video about this, and players get caught up on what's important in the lore. They don't *need* to do anything to support the lore (like Bungie in your D2 comparison), and they probably ultimately save money/dev time by outsourcing to people like Brozime who are willing to do the work for the $.

[@Prof_Pangloss]

1:09:05 just curious, was this your own song replacement that you did for copyright or did DE give you a placeholder track?

[@boblackmon7835]

I was also wondering, though I think they may have added an option to replace it somewhere but idk for sure

[@Brozime]

I manually replaced it with a copyright friendly song but I’m glad it feels like it was designed for it!

[@azazelashbight9849]

Personal recommendation about Onkko and the Amps, would honestly just recommend building the first one anyone can, a 111(Raplak + Pencha + Clapkra) Amp is like upgrading from an axe(the free Mote Amp you get from Onkko) to a chainsaw.

Good stuff, perfect for returning players - and it would have been a perfect resource a few days ago when I was putting together a literal powerpoint presentation to remind a friend of the story she had played years ago to get her ready for new war ^^ And yes, I had totally forgotten about Grandmothers activities and relations.

[@niteus4907]

So no War Sector playthrough?

[@Torch-Light]

It's absolutely wild seeing the new player path being so different than my personal path. Do you think having the bits of bonus Void related lore in Railjack and Heart of Deimos happen before War Within was a positive change? Seeing the finger early on would certainly be a weird surprise.

[@kylehuntxr]

Duviri is the only thing lore wise I still do not fully follow. I need some breakdown of the deeper lore stuff

[@1stargazer12]

Stallord also put out a sponsored video this weekend, that has a really good, and quick explanation of duviri. The whole vid is about 16 minutes long, goes into more of what 1999 will be about. Same as you I was a little confused about duviri, and he explained it in a way where it finally clicked

[@zedar0]

Seconding StallordD's video but tl;dw: Duviri was a kid's book intended to help kids not bring horrible shit to life during their void jump. Drifter, having read it, instead brought the whole book to life as a coping mechanism to deal with the horror of being stuck in the Void. Drifter was in charge of the place for a time, but fell into a downward spiral and gave control to the king in the story, Dominus Thrax. During Thrax's reign, Duviri experienced incursions from Albrecht, our Teshin, and the man in the Wall. Extreme measures were taken to keep Wally out, including getting rid of multiple tainted islands, and eventually forcing the kingdom to perpetually relive the same day, preventing all change. The Drifter wanted out, but Thrax couldn't allow that, and condemned them to execution over and over. In a bad mental place, the Drifter just resigns themselves to it, until one loop where they instead survived and picked up the Lotus's hand, which is where the quest begins.

[@1stargazer12]

@@zedar0 I think dominus thrax is supposed to be you as a self insert into the story. That’s why he behaves like a child.

[@kylehuntxr]

@ Yeah that video was an amazing recommendation cause it filled in the gaps for me. And understanding the vioid kind of as a pocket of “unreality” and that it manifests thoughts also makes things click better. Cause certain matters like when Albericht goes to Duviri and things like Teshin being there to like re-teach us also made matters interesting. This video plus Stallords makes it make sense now

[@zestyaardvarks]

22nd is out of the question, way too close to the holidays. The absolute latest we'll get it is the 18th, but even that would be pretty rough with little time for hotfixes. Hence hoping for a TGA release on the 12th.

[@ErikMikkelsen1]

14:30 The Orokin challenge rooms are not intuitive, so before doing the weekly Ayatan hunts, new players will probably need to look up a guide on how to complete the challenge rooms.

[@chaosgyro]

I say it all the time, but I despise the placement of the open world quests. They really should not be required on the first pass through the star chart. It's way too much too fast for new players, and it muddies the storyline as well.

[@tophatchaos8142]

Two quick commemts about the lore, the Orokin didn't technically make the Tenno. They were human kids given void powers. Also, the warframes aren't suits, they're people

[@IceColdSight]

Honestly I still dont understand how gigantic human-like robots are supposed to help us do proper time travel but oh well, hopefully that gets answered somehow during the course of 1999

[@zedar0]

It was already answered in Whispers in the Wall. The giant bots are created from samples from the Hex members, and they are linked to their donors (in the quest, that's what put us in Arthur's head). Basically, something about this strain of infestation amplifies size - I don't believe we know exactly why, but that's the reason.

[@BioKek]
