[@PERSONAfan01]

The Narrative improvements. My god. I hope this can be parleyed into more tileset reworks. Back in the day there used to be text talking about each planet/zone. How Neptune is the Corpus Home Base where the majority of their R&D centers are & indoctrination temples. Pluto mentioning how the old Tau Solar Rail is located there and the Corpus are trying to figure out how to repair it. There's still functioning Orokin Temples on Mercury. The main logistical port of the Grineer is orbiting Saturn. To have these areas properly reflect that old text would be awesome. Hell, I would streamline the star chart and use Railjack more. Saturn, Pluto, and Eris would be straight Proxima only.

[@MagikarpMan]

I've always had the opinion that they should remove arching missions and replace them entirely with railjack.

[@Havok91]

I remember them talking about using Railjack as our "loading screens" as we literally fly to each mission. Whatever they're planning, I REALLY hope they do away with the asteroid Mobile Defense tiles (who enjoys sitting there for two terminals and then having to do a five minute defense?) and rework the Grineer Galeon tiles (WAY too big for majority of the missions that play out on them).

[@JoshTwistYT]

@@MagikarpMan that would be amazing ngl. Archwing mission in itself is such a bore.

[@NayrAnur]

Heck, I would love to finally see what our Orbiter looks like on the outside. Not to be confused with the customizable Landing Craft shown in loading screens and stuff.

[@xela953]

i think either neptune or pluto would be a good planet to rework next. so many planets use the corpus outpost tileset and making one of these planets unique would help with making it feel less repetitive

[@EricaDahlia]

Having more narrative cutscenes is huge. There were so many times when I was a beginner where I was really confused when a new character just pops up like I should already know who they are.

[@klawschafer7425]

That’s more from events and stuff iirc. They need to add recap missions for events or something in the codex. Or maybe play a cutscene at the planet junctions when you beat them

[@DyingDarkStar]

​@@klawschafer7425yeah even when i was a new player i was really confused on the narrative of the game. I think a little mini quests for the events would be good.

[@gbjbaanb]

Going to be fun seeing what they do with Alad V :)

[@Noisemaker50]

@@klawschafer7425 we definitely need more "previously on warframe" type of flashback explainers. i can't tell you how often a plot point will be going and i'm like "i kind of remember that word, but i don't remember what the context i heard that word in was, so i don't know what this current line of dialogue actually means"

[@jh9794]

​@@klawschafer7425 I'd suggested once they use old events as quests to introduce lore and mechanics. Stuff like proxy rebellion and the like.

[@luizmarcialmoreirapires7409]

I think having a "quest" for each planet would be nice for engagement, not talking about warframe quests but story quests, but it doesnt need to be deep stuff, only enough to introduce the planet, what the faction ocupying there is doing and the boss, I play warframe for 6 years and I still dont know what 90% of the boss in each planet is doing, I only know about Vay Hek (Earth boss) doing zombie experiments and the Angel (Zariman boss) being people contaminated by the void, and I only know this because Vay Hek talks alot in the plains and Zariman having its quest

[@voltus20]

They could do a new type of mission. Just like they have "Story mission", "Warframe mission", and "Side mission" categories, they could create a "Faction mission" category, that has little missions introducing the bosses of each planet and adding a bit of story of what the faction does on each planet. Maybe have it follow one of the paths in the star chart of each planet leading up to the boss node, culminating in the assasination mission.

[@justicebrown1077]

There are codex fragments that tell a bit about each location, but I feel like they arent super relevant. I think itd be hard to do full quests, but it would be nice to hear some new dialogue in base Star Chart missions about what the basic reasons for a faction being there

[@thimovijfschaft3271]

I think so too. But also because Earth and Venus feel interesting, they are well introduced, you have reasons to fight and care about fighting there. But as soon as you go to Mars, it's just "Beat this bad guy's ass because reasons."

[@TURBOMIKEIFY]

I just wanna know more about Vome and Fass. The best Day/Night Cycle in gaming IMO.

[@13g0man]

Themed missions on each planet - a capture mission on Ceres (the Grineer Shipyard planet) could be 'Bring us the target, he is creating improvements to Grineer Fleet capabilities.' Neptune sabotage mission (Corpus automation planet) could be 'Destroy this facility and slow down production of robots' with the result of less Moas spawning for the rest of the mission.

[@philthygamerPC]

As a 5 year casual player of Warframe it warms my heart to see DE implementing these QOL changes. Rebbeca is really showing everyone that she was the right choice to head up the studio with all these changes to make Warframe the best live- service, free to play game on the market. This is great to see.👍

[@inyoushoes]

As a vet Destiny 1 player back from beta time until Destiny 2 vanilla post-raid lunch, and kinda as a vet Warframe player, I started playing it on PC when it was in beta yet but moved on because at the time it was boring, then made few attempts to return on PlayStation (had to make new account since at the time there was no cross platform saves and my account was forgotten lol) and now fully enjoying starting just before the Whispers in the Walls. Within this year I spent around 250 quids to get cosmetics items as my way to support devs work, and from personal experience I can confirm that as for a free to play game, Warframe had so much changes for the better that I never saw in most of the paid games.

A small introduction to each planet and boss would go a LONG way, especially for new players. Even just a little bit of a guide of something like, "Tenno detected. What? In my starship/hideout/platform/factory? Rally the troops, and make sure that Tenno scum dies before they find me!" or perhaps something like, "Tenno? Tenno! Here? Get the troops deployed across planetary orbit! Get me that hunk of infested metal, before it wrecks our operation/mission/hideout/hoard!"

Hope one day we will have fixed the issue of having the shoulder armor blocking your aim reticle.

[@Havok91]

Frost's deluxe helmet is probably the worst offender with that damned jewel dangling right over your reticle. At least the Naberus shoulders fold back.

[@VIPandalicious]

Don't remember if it's an ephemera or a syandana, but there's a set of wings that also block the reticle

[@voltus20]

[@loofy530]

The Void gameplay reminded me of how some of the older tilesets could really use a facelift. Not necessarily a complete redesign, but maybe just some new textures. Void holds up decently since it's mostly flat ivory and gold surfaces, but on closer inspection even that is starting to show its age.

[@DyingDarkStar]

Yeah, that would be nice. I think the only ones that could do for a redesign is the europa and eris tilesets, so they use the reworked corpus ship tileset assets.

[@oryxthetakenking8275]

Uranus tilesets need a face-lift first

[@Vevvev8]

​@@DyingDarkStarIssue with that one is the Deadlock protocol quest mentioning the fleet is retrofitted. Makes a bit of sense that the Europa derelicts are older ships.

[@BadChase]

Should still consider finding a way to add Warframe and Weapon slots. The starting 2 and 5 is too little for most new people and that is something all new people as well as veterans are always pointing out.

[@Token_Black_Guy]

Nightwave is a ton of weapon and frame slots

[@tlkfanrwbyfan8716]

I think what the game needs is two thing. A massively reduced crafting timer for formas, and most importantly, helping onboard new players understand what they have to do. Many new players leave after two hours because they don’t know what they have to do bc the game doesn’t tell them. The ones who stay do so bc they have friends to help them through the early game

I am really glad that there is the first descendant out. Now there is a healthy competition, and they both can learn and grow together.

​@@MagikarpMan it could be a pure coincidence, but a lot of these QoL changes seem to be almost ripped from tfd, like the pin system and the mod upgrade simplification, for example. It's very likely that someone on DE played tfd and noted some QoL that could be implemented in warframe. This is standard practice for developers, and it's completely fine (especially considering tfd used warframe as 'inspiration' for many of its systems)

saw some people in forums asking about multiple polarities in one slot so you can interchange between them all. i want one thing where they add reactors and catalysts to relics so we can get them as drops as well

[@VallornDeathblade]

There's an "all" polarity that shows up in a couple of places. I think it's on the Dreamer's Bond aura mod and you can polarize Aura and Stance slots to be Any and that's about it. A forma like Umbra in rarity which allows you to apply Any to a regular slot would be amazing.

Ever since Reb took the helm, the team has been a lot more focused on reviewing past work and fixing, reworking and building upon it, rather than further expanding, which is great. Steve's approach of continued expansion wasn't necessarily bad, by any means, but it meant that they put a lot less attention on going back to older stuff and bringing it up to par with newer stuff.

I would absolutely love an option to freely upgrade mods in the simulacrum to try them out first hand in a practical situation, just let it be temporary until you leave again That way you can give things like max Blind Rage a try without dumping an ocean of credits and endo only to realize “wait crap this doesn’t work out” and then you need to acquire a whole new mod again

[@Vindrael]

i was just got back to wf yesterday and that void relic QoL was something i thought they should add. Narrative improve is a very welcome QoL. I remember playing for the first time and all i know is cleanse, purge, kill. Another thing they probably could do for new players: 1. Monster Hunter World wish list system. This basically inform you if you farm enough mats for weapon/parts you wish listed. 2. Crafting timer reduction for non-prime old frames. This would be huge for new players since they no longer have to wait for 72 hours to enjoy they hard earned new frames. Reduce it to 24 hours for frames up until Yraeli should be good enough i think

[@Pren0110]

Man I completely forgot that Caliban is getting a rework until you said it in the video.. I shouldn’t have forgotten because he’s my most used frame, can’t wait to see what his eventual prime will look like

[@TacticalPotato]

I'm really looking forward to how they change him. Hopefully all for the better.

[@4g3nt06]

Can his prime beat his deluxe tho

[@OriGuyOriginal]

The Narrative Introductions are fantastic news! I'm really hoping they make the confusing narrative beats more digestable too. Fix the Heart of Deimos to be only necessary for the Railjacks, otherwise it's a huge pothole for previous and suvsequent quests. Give definitive demonstrations of what the Void can do so people don't think of it as a Deus Ex Machina with every twist. Let us see remnants of the Orokin Empire outside of the towers so their influence even in the future matches the expectation we assign to their description. I'm also hoping they add a way for new players to craft stuff without being turned of by timers, as LegendaryDrops points out. Like, maybe add a system where weapons take longer to make based on their rank, starting at 1 minute Rank 1 and escalating to the usual timers at 16+.

[@leb14]

The mod acquisition news is sooo good ! I'm playing since 2016 and I miss lot of good mods because I don't want to go on the wiki to know the place. I want to fond IN GAME BY MYSELF. And i'm not the only one for sure.

[@SirLurkington]

The simulacrum mod ranking, and arcane changes are very welcomed for me. As for the missions, I kinda wish the inbox messages you receive from them, got saved in a sort of archive sub-inbox so we could revisit them. I’d like to be able to revisit everything in-game. I’ve been playing since Loki was a starter so there’s a lot of stuff I don’t remember and should we have to go hunting for a KZbin lore video to refresh everything? Heck, I was watching Legendary Drops and his journey through Warframe and some of the things that happened, I never even clued in when I went through it myself.

[@koolenjoy7369]

Started playing the game in 2013 but I'm really excited for the new players changes! I'm trying to onboard my brother but he's not at all into these kinds of games (farming sandboxes). He did read a paper about the chains of harrow quest though and then spoke positively of the game to me, it was such a shock that this full narrative games fan even heard about Warframe!

[@meatwax]

Truth!!! There are weapons I just avoided becuase I didn't enjoy the strain on trigger finger. Now my weapon choices are much more diverse

[@Vherdik]

It looks like a few of these UI changes are lightly borrowed from the first descendant. There are other things TFD brought to the table that I want to see get added to warframe, but I’m glad some of their improvements made their way here The codex showing the drop location(s) and stats of unowned mods is a good start, but I hope they add text that shows the drop chances as well. It allows for more transparency and this cuts the need to use external resources online to search which drop location is best. Do the same thing but with wf/weapon parts (instead of having to go to the equipment screen to find where they drop). Relics showing you which drops you already own/crafted is also a great change. Instead of just a check mark I think it should tell you the number of copies you own of that part, in case I want to farm multiple and it’s always nice to have more transparency I’m only bringing up these suggestions because TFD already has these QoL features but some of these changes DE showed seem inspired by them but are inferior in comparison. It’s weird because these are very tiny adjustments and would not take much to implement, don’t know why DE didn’t go for them, but they make all the difference as I’ve found playing TFD. Seeing how convenient the timing of these changes are after the release of that game, I also don’t see why not if DE just go all the way and borrow everything that is better from them. One of warframe’s biggest caveats for new players is how inaccessible it is. Gone would be the days of needing to pull up the wiki (for the most part) to farm everything if they just hard implement TFD’s access info system. That made farming from item to item feel seamless compared to warframe. I want to see them go balls deep on this, but just the fact DE is implementing these changes and is planning on expanding the codex has me optimistic

[@EpicGamerBruhHD]

1. The ability to use void traces from your current mission to upgrade relics. 2. The ability to be able to see crafted prime blueprints/parts in the reward menu, not just owned prime blueprints/parts. 3. Each warframe config needs to be able to have its own helminth subsumed. 4. Give players the option to apply a forma only to one config, it could require some extra resources. 5. The ability to travel from the orbiter to the simulacrum directly.

also might as well save our mod configs when we forma and revert to lv 1 and make it so mods automatically slot back in as you level the weapon.

[@RightClickGamers]

These are awesome updates! I guess one of my main things for vet players I want focused on is how long it takes to get from one place or vendor to another. It'd be nice if you could have hologram NPCs in the dojo, which would make the dojo more useful and reduce the amount of clicks needed if I want to snag an arcane adapter and rename a weapon. Also a functional simulacrum entrance decoration would be cool. I've been playing for a long time, so I don't know if this exists already, but I hope that the tutorial is or will be specific to the starter frame you choose. With very specific instructions on the abilities, maybe even level you up to unlock your second and explain that.

[@hunterstarmech]

These improvements are ok for new players but can we get something actually meaningful like a proper tutorial or a notification on stuff the game flat out doesn’t tell you about. Like tenet weapons being purchasable or unlocking deep archimedea. Or real QoL improvements like accessing the simulacrum from the ship. We shouldn’t be patting DE on the back for almost insignificant stuff that should’ve been in years ago that they added from the bottom of the list. These things aren’t gonna stop new players from quitting

I dont think I've seen an update this past year that has been a negative. I've been very impressed with DE lately, and it makes me really happy to support them by continuing to play this game.

[@aidan6536]

New player here. This is the direction the game needs and it needs to be the primary focus imo. There needs to be a more primary progression quest so new players know what they should be focusing on. It needs to include introductions on how to get into the games systems and guide them through any processes and gathering. Basically everything needs more quests, even the ship was quite overwhelming when I first started the game. I think more purpose and story should go into the star chart discovery quest as well. There also needs to be tool-tips that come up in-game just in-case new players don't know how to use their frame. Like if they use melee a lot and they have never performed a slam, provide the player with a tooltip on how to perform a slam.

[@tehswordninja4915]

Great stuff, I hope they're looking at Rotation C rewards soon. I wanna get the Ambassador but ....

[@raddude1328]

So happy about the narrative additions per planet, I’ve always wanted a small quest when you go to each planet leading up the the assassination target just to help players get some direction/ reason for what they are there for narrative wise. Hopefully they can rework the boss fights the same way they reworked jackal. Also hope that they don’t show all the frames you don’t have in the arsenal screen so that new players won’t think you need to buy them just to obtain them and similarly add where to acquire each frame from which planet and mission. Reducing crafting times in general should be a thing or at least give the newer players some free auto crafts for their first few frames and weapons so that they can continue playing when they first jump in. Glad they’re doing work on this.

@@TacticalPotato I made a dumb joke in a region chat about furries and got banned the next day. Not the end of the World, but I lost maxed Arcane Energize and Glaive Prime because of it.

[@krazedzombies]

This has continued to be the best experience I've ever had following a devteam

[@Mandurath]

Fewer wiki visits just to find locations, this would have saved me so much time!

[@primodemuchomundo]

Forma, you make a build but the polaris stays in the multiple configurations so once you pick something it is shared through the other configurations. I would add an option to share or not to share the polarity with the other configurations of the same weapon or frame. Also getting forma blueprints through other means than just primarily through relics. These would be great.

[@ironkrieg3368]

Very nice. Thanks for the overview! :)

[@LFiles48]

These UI changes are like the cherry on top all the QOL's we've had so far. Only DE don't even seem close to being finished. That team really knows what they're doing. (yes I know it's not perfect, but 've been playing since Fortuna. These are good times to be a Warframe player)

[@sunlitriddle2294]

I certainly hope that those of us who have already cleared Star Chart get a little slice of that New Planet Narrative cake

[@valkyrchesa]

When will the update be up? This is great, hopefully every update we get the QoL the community demands for long time, and some things like holding mouse button so mods is swapped including their polarity.

[@Parso_YT]

Fantastic that DE is really striving for accessibility, I know when I first started playing 6-7 years ago I gave it up initially because I hit a level wall where anything I used was useless against enemies because I really lacked understanding of the modding and meaning of damage types

[@FelisImpurrator]

No joke, I wish they'd add stuff like Steel Path versions of every farm that still doesn't have one. Like steel requiem fissures that inherently boost the drop rate for not the trash commons, or steel lich nodes that drop double requiem progress. And maybe pity-counter shop purchases for more old questframe parts. Being sent back to level 40 content with like a quarter the spawn rate when most of your frame builds depend on having the Steel Sardine Can's worth of enemies to snowball off sucks. Come on, DE. Also? 5 rounds for all Defenses with fixed wave count, and some kind of pathing revamp for them to be less horribly slow. Please.

[@dct124]

Nice to see the game is still being played regularly.

[@Meli_Cruul]

Glad DE is doing more QOL updates. Since my addicted ass has been on TFD almost everyday, lmao. It’s nice to have several games to play when I’m burnt out on one. I tend to hyper fixate on these games …

[@FabiTheSnake]

There are so many good changes, 2 things i hope that will be done some day are on priority foundries. i think placing a "recource rush" before the plat rush is a solid idea. Some players can´t even farm the recources, after the Bounty grind being Fortuna, cetus and Xaku. starting a BP for free, and using recource grind hours would be better.

[@zarodgaming1844]

As a developer, this is humbling. ... Other studios would get a whole month of standing ovation just to bring ONE of these changes ... after 2 years of doing nothing xD ... and yet for Digital Extreemes this is just another thursday 👍

[@jeffjameson5082]

It took years for them to add some of these changes…

[@TacticalPotato]

​@jeffjameson5082 years of the old team not adding them, but the new team has been implementing as many QoL changes as they can.

[@greentea7180]

Excellent, hopefully at some point they also do a sweeping buff/rebalance of old disused and under powered weapons, not to mention the mountain of guns DE unceremoniously nerfed into near non-existence (cough synoid simulor cough). I don't use 95% of the weapons I own because compared to other newer and better balanced weapons they feel terrible to use, I just hang on to old weapons out of nostalgia mostly. Incarnons, augment mods, and to an extent arcanes are just a bandaid fix, and it can be overwhelming/confusing/frustrating to try and figure out how to make a weapon good. Imagine being a new player and trying to figure out where to get those things, how to get them, how to use them, etc, talk about a puzzle. At the very least it makes using the wiki/YT absolutely mandatory to figure out how to build things, which is a bad system imo. I say this because I've been doing circuit lately, having come back from a very long break and O-M-G so many guns are pure garbage in 2024. Comparatively Warframes are in a great place in terms of balance, in my 8 years playing the game I've never had so many viable and fun frames to choose from.

[@Lynkin66]

The codex, relics and arcanes QoL alone are going to keep me coming back. I've played since PC open beta and this stuff has bugged TF outta me since they've each been added to the game. I couldn't imagine how much of a game changer it's going to be for a new player. QoL changes are always welcome ❤

[@alucardF91]

Always happy to see a quality of life for new players. Our game notoriously known for not friendly for new players even after several updates from devs, still some new player lost and left the game. With new competitor just arrives, devs must grind hard to bring quality of life updates for our new players, don't let them slip your fingers DE the competitors have big "temptation" to lure new players in.

[@securatyyy]

It's a super hidden secret, but when you color grendel pink, it changes his damage to fairy type.

[@Trancelover-wf2ye]

Loving these qol updates. Little changes yes, just make playing that bit better. The one thing i would love is to be able to go from orbiter straight to the simulacrum for when you are testing hemlinth builds.

[@nebulaeusprime5955]

These changes might actually bring me back to playing, these improvements are massive!

[@isaacclarke8945]

These changes are quite welcome. I do think that a Tileset update would be welcome for Neptune and maybe even an event where you evacuate Corpus before they’re “educated” would be interesting. Namely like a tower defense heist of sorts. Maybe somewhat similar to the Pacifism Defect sans some of the less fun features. Maybe even have a new Corpus node similar to the Iron Wake. I think in the future I would really like to see the Corpus cities on Neptune/Pluto and regular people besides characters and the locations we have already. Maybe as an introduction to a future Tau expansion. It would also be really cool to see maybe a few hold out cities on Mars.

[@Neudezign]

What's up Tater and all my fellow spuds! ✌️

[@tinchi]

hello there

[@BaeBunni]

More players sticking around past the first couple hours is always a good thing.

[@TacticalPotato]

Get them over the bump 😊

[@jayronauron4042]

Can't wait to see how they do a narrative cutscene for the Sergeant

[@Ima9ineBreak3r]

The biggest change I want in the game right now is for the Robotic Hound skill Reflex Denial not to absorb my shots and make it so that I can't shoot something. If they make my shots ignore it, OR make it so that it absorbs the damage and then redistributes it to enemies (like it does to enemy damage), that would be AWESOME. I REALLY hope they don't ignore it with the second part of the pet rework.

[@TacticalPotato]

Pets 2.0 part 2 info is in next week's devatream so maybe it's something they're working on

[@AdrianoSnorts]

What they really need to address are the inventory space, the market interface and the hours of crafting. Let's be honest: all those things put together in this video are minor for someone who has already been dragged in and wants more. Mods in the codex are a personal favorite flavor of mine

[@iFINNIX]

I’m actually very excited for these QoL changes!

[@baileycampbell]

We need that Banshee build you got in this video lad. It looks great. Soo much Overguard.

[@TacticalPotato]

Overguard is the pistol arcane not the Banshee 😊 Secondary fortifier is the arcane.

[@baileycampbell]

@TacticalPotato Ohh right mixed with Ophanim Eyes would be awesome. Just like in the vid. Might have to give that a go 👍

[@emperorpudding216]

Very welcome changes, excited to see them soon!

[@spice2688]

Besides the information overload at the start of the game, I genuinely believe the single biggest quit moment is the crafting timer. I have had two different friends quit right after they realized it was going to be 3 and a half days to craft the Rhino they just spent two hours grinding for. It's an outdated feature that should have been removed a long time ago, and I genuinely believe it will make the onboarding MUCH easier for new players.

[@davidm5548]

Relic and arcane marking change sounds so great.

[@Sunda9]

0:50 he's right. big and intimidating poo. they are uncomfortable.

[@Ianpact]

Sure would like them to add the ability to sell blueprints from the foundry. Oh, and really need to add Operator/Drifter equipment and arcanes to the loadout saves. And gear wheel.

[@fredcomms_]

Man so many huge changes, i'm so happy DE thank u 🥺❤

[@Achonas]

I think a quick "what's new" screen that bullet points each noteworthy change / addition to the game since a player last played if they've gone through more than a few patches inactive. I've been pretty turned off coming back to the game after along break when they had some massive overhauls and a ton of content added. The last update I remember clearly before I stopped playing was fortuna, and when I tried coming back it might have been the melee overhaul. didn't stick, and only played it a bit again after duviri came out

[@hellspawn689]

Amazing news! I'm so glad to see DE really understanding the needs of the current state of the game. Complete side bar, what is that banshee build?

[@raistlinmajere5550]

The showing owned arcanes/relics is fucking massive

[@one_lazy_robot]

The main thing I desire them to do, is adding a navegation option on the open world hubs (and possibly maroo's bazar), so we can access the star chart without the need to pop out of said hubs, because when I go and farm stuff on deimos, orb vallis or cetus with my homies, its kinda annoying that once we are done we need to break the squad, and rejoin it again to do missions elsewhere. But this might be just me nitpicking honestly. I can't wait to see this update in a short few weeks, since it looks like a fat update with lots of juicy new content to play with.

[@t2mediumplayer198]

At some rate i kinda thought, why not make such a thing like ''tutorial'' but for stuff like how clans work and other stuff, because i heard lots of new players get easily lost in the game on start and don't know what to do or how things work, so that could also be something to help players off, and if someone wouldn't like such tutorials there could be a settting to turn those off, and the tutorial-man explaining things, would be let's say ordis maybe

[@voltus20]

Maybe have a second Maroo mission after you complete Stolen Dreams, where she guides you go through the clan system, and maybe even have another one where she explains how endo and modding works, since she's the vendor for turning statues into endo anyways. Introduce it to everyone, but mark it as complete for veterans so they don't have to go through it if they don't want to (kind of like how they did for the new player experience missions).

[@t2mediumplayer198]

@@voltus20 Yeah that's actually a good version, even better one, hope DE will add it someday

[@void2258]

We need some mid-player experience improvements too. Players shouldn't be allowed to go into chains of harrow or especially the sacrifice with the Mote Amp; the low damage makes these quests feel so much worse than they should. For the eidolon hunts that this will involved actually telling players exist in the game, explain what is happening better, and make basic changes like marking nearby uncaptured lures so people can see them.

[@VoXeR91]

Love. LOVE QoL changes. Don't know how many times I've either gotten rid of good relics or gotten more of already maxed arcanes...

[@Rellz2497]

That relic check mark shit is freaking awesome lol. This is a great qol update. 👏 Bravo DE

[@MJmusikstix]

The outros on these videos are always 🔥

[@aabenhus]

QoL are always welcome. They really need to do more info into the game, so you don't have to always go to the wiki

[@expwarrior3809]

Good job with the quality of life improvements. I thank you

[@donnieboi6560]

And this game is free. With a full amazing story. The fact they still have it free. These guys are just pure golden.

[@xotwd6413]

I finally hoped on and actually locked in this time after idk how many years, the experience wasn’t that overwhelming, but damn during the months of July, August and now warframe hasn’t done anything but amazed me. I’m addicted, and haven’t touched D2 ever since. THE ONLY THING THAT PISSES ME OFF IS THE GOD DAMM DROP RATE FOR FRAMES LIKE ASH. Other than that love the game, and the community y’all cool !

[@seanwoods424]

Unknown mods update is legendary! Let’s gooo!

[@Ron-rw8uw]

I hope they include a better walk through ls for content. I've been gone for about 2 years, and when i logged in to check up on things, i barely recognized the game and didn't know where to start or what to do.

[@fluteplayer7mce]

The only quality of life change I would really care about would be a Riven change, giving any improvement to the quality of life when interacting with that system.

[@greedygenius123]

New player here, absolutely dreaded the necramech grind, I’m actually still not done with it and it’s been a few days. I only get to play for a couple of hours everyday and it’s super disheartening when I have to spend that time grinding the same activities just to progress the main story. It’s unfortunate because I was having so much fun.

[@spgabe]

This is going to be an amazing update for QOL!

[@l1lbosz_yt828]

8 yr vet and this game is still fave 1

[@winterwraith8339]

Its weird how an overwhelming amount of content can be off putting but i agree Something else that sucked was thinking i had to pay for everything in the game, especially warframes. It wasnt until i learned how to farm that the game got really really fun and i got addicted

[@novacygni1600]

Awesome info. Thank you.
