🔴 Warframe: The New War

[@0uttaS1TE]

The funniest thing about seeing The Man In The Wall is that I remember there was so much speculation about what it looked like. In truth, Rell was not being metaphorical. He is LITERALLY a massive Vitruvian Man embedded in a wall with a shiteating grin. It's like a cosmic joke.

[@NoxxeRArt]

Rell is autistic so no wonder he was being literal

[@Paweł_Szałek]

Also about the grin. In Chains of Harrow Rell says "Momma has a stretchy smile."

[@TheFarFey]

I think thats entrati I remember seeing a lore video to that effect.

[@junsengjs]

I think that was the Indifference taking Rell's description literally. "The Man in the Wall" is most likely referring to the Indifference existing outside the normal realm of existence, hence "In the Wall".

[@0uttaS1TE]

@TheFarFey Yeah, that makes sense. He was the first to enter the void unprotected, so it makes sense it would be made in his image, even if distorted and incomplete.

[@eduardoc439]

6:04:59 this is peak lottery bug. Somehow he got the hey kiddo event in the cutscene (which is a lottery by itself) and this shows that in some weird way that they make the code count wally's operator model as a valid operator to run cutscenes. Amazing

a popular part of endgame content in warframe is watching new players play through the story to kinda relive it again!

[@letthatsinkin4913]

⁠​⁠@@rjmacready6693 im gonna be real with you-deep archimedeans, orbiter decoration, and SP kuva grind are absolutely endgame activities, and require equivalent or more time investment to reach the necessary level than destiny raiding or GMs. less skill? maybe. but warframe isn’t a skill game, it’s a buildcrafting strategy game with minor FPS/hack and slash mechanics. I’ve got a couple hundred hours and I can reliably complete missions up to level 130 or so; after that it’s ivara invis crit cheesing. that’s still pretty far from the highest level content in the game. star chart is the intro. early on it can feel like you’re close to maximum because your gear and the enemies seem to stop around level 30. that’s an illusion. if you haven’t dealt over 1 mil damage in a single hit (outside of undercroft) you’re still early game.

[@ArnSolma]

Bear in mind, the released version of The New War was heavily scaled back and cut down due to DE having to manage development during Covid. Imagine what they would've cooked if they had more time/resources

[@Rage-_-Quit]

Yeah it's still disappointing that there is no aftermath of this systemwide war outside of the new bounties, everything instantly goes back to business as usual xD There could have been more, like liberating the planets and rebuilding, which could also play out some kind of explanation why after everything that happened the Tenno, Grineer and Corpus are at each other's throats again. One of the main problems probably being the way multiplayer works, they cannot really make any permanent changes to the existing map without splitting the playerbase into pre and post New War.

[@AbrasiveDRUM]

Highly Recommend starting with the Zariman storyline (Angels of the Zariman), then doing Duviri Paradox. This will allow a smooth transition between the two. Dont start Whispers in the Walls till after the Paradox is finished.

[@Fac0999]

Man this was epic as hell i can not believe this is Warframe every one should be playing this

[@BladesofElysian]

This take is extremely frustrating to see, lol. Warframe players constantly try to spread the game to others, but when we try to bring it up, many stop playing due to the grind or never even pick it up because people see it as a bizarre mix of genres with no story. Even Aztecross was surprised, "I didn't even know this game had a story!" Warframe is good, play it!

[@ClockworkCanary-3]

I joined the stream late, finished, then went back to watch from the beginning. I feel like we do streamers a disservice, pushing the main quest so hard. When I was playing through I’d do a quest *when I felt like it* and explore and grind and explore and level weapons and mine and fish and explore… And then feel like doing a quest so I’d do one. Rushing through just…I love seeing people experience the quests for the first time, but there was also so much exploration! And so much getting used to allll the complex systems, maps, syndicates, characters, frames, etc…. The streamer experience will never be the same because us watching and influencing is changing it.

[@ceyhunsarac9365]

Don't sweat it lmao, this is literally his job. I'm sure he's fine.

shame chat won't let him do faction stuff. He barely spent time with the fortuna NPCs and design before this and now it's gonna be the ugly new look and the story for that area is gonna seem weird with all the narmer stuff around.

[@NotHeitu]

Lotus/Natah is the daughter of Hunhow. She is a mimic type sentient, which we’ve seen the regular units mimicking objects during the missions. For Lotus/Natah, she mimicked Margulis to infiltrate the Orokin. I’m not sure about this part, but I think she took up the mantle of caretaker from mimicking Margulis’s emotions and personality, learning humanity.

[@happykiwi]

4:55:07 The mod's erroneous prediction payout was understandable and the majority poll voted not to punish them for it but then they sent a TTS during a cutscene and people began to regret their mercy 😂

[@texting7856]

Im so glad we managed to not fk up the story order by letting chat misguide him into starting duviri Also fyi if anyone is wondering. Doing Angels of zariman makes more sense than doing duviri right after New War

[@gummyboots]

I mean as long as people tell him Duviri is a prequel to the New War.

[@jared30]

I dont really think it matters when you play duviri tbh nothing is chronological anymore with time travel in the mix

[@klaudrin9145]

I personally hate this perspective. Duviri before new war doesn't spoil or ruin anything. It was designed to be played before new war as it serves as the backstory to the drifter. The whole don't play duviri is a remnant of when it was a starting point as an alternative to the origin system.

[@Breqs98]

I'm of the camp that prefer Duviri be played before the new war, not only better gameplay wise, access to easy new frames and mods etc. But story wise it makes it so much cooler when you see the drifter for the first time in the new war, and it makes it LESS confusing albeit still confusing when you're met with the whole eternalism twist.

[@jeffjones6419]

I love how Cross went right for the simp rout

[@ClockworkCanary-3]

Oh, ranking up faction with Deimos, or other factions can get you more story! If story is a thing you care about. Some people don’t?

[@Maverick2736]

Some people think "Margulis" is a wrong choice because it would be Lotus returning to the manipulations of Ballas... but look at it like this: the Lotus is a mimic who *_admired_* Margulis, and taking on her name can also be interpreted as Lotus adopting it as a heroic mantle. Reclaiming Margulis' name from the stain that Ballas left on it, cleaning and clearing it by carrying on Margulis' work of healing. Not just to heal the Zariman children this time, but to continue healing the entire Origin system. She's still Lotus (and Natah) beneath the Margulis name, but she's choosing to present herself as Margulis to bring attention to how great she was in life. So great that her work continues beyond death, not as a mask but as a honored title, carried by the Lotus like a flag, representing what Margulis really was. Not what Ballas tried to make out of them both. I personally went with Lotus myself, but Margulis is not a wrong choice.

[@84m30]

It’s kinda just the zhorny choice so it’s looked down on understandably 😂 + Natah is who she actually is, and The Lotus is who she chose to be. Margulis is who she was told to pretend to be? Which eventually became more than that of course, but still

[@savireerivas7074]

Yeah, the main difference is that ballas forced it on her and stripped her of her original character back in the Old War. This here is a consented choice.

[@Creepy___]

personally I chose Lotus, but bought the Margulis skin for her. After all the Veils we see being put on other peoples faces, it was hard for me to not see Lotus helmet also as a Veil of some sorts. her being in Margulis skin while still having the name Lotus is my headcanon way of saying "she broke free from her own veil, now she sees with her own eyes"

[@XxDeathxX509]

The issue for me is she isn’t margulis, she is natah. So thats who i went with

[@piplupxpp]

Nah she will always be Lotus

[@ItsNaberius]

2:21:30 is when the quest begins

[@ClockworkCanary-3]

Duviri came out after New War. The devs reorder things sometimes, and for a while it was available to the newest of new players, an alternative to the start most of us had on warframes. But they changed it because it was confusing people? Duviri is(spoiler) the Drifter’s backstory, so people want newer folk to wait till after New War, because that is how it was originally.

[@ClockworkCanary-3]

Got to the spot he notices he has a legendary Core, all i can think is do not use it as he will almost never get another one until he hits Mr 31

[@ClockworkCanary-3]

There’s a conservation minigame/hunt that will get you very nice mods for your pets. See the Business or Master Teasonai, or Son for those. Look in the trade for tags/floofs section for mods.

[@TheGmodkilla]

I really gotta catch him on one of his streams and tell him about the Mod Dumpster.

[@droppedmydagger3834]

I don't think i had a single cinematic bug, or visual bug in a single warframe quest, i never thought they were common or even a problem....after watching cross play, i know now how lucky i was... and i do agree with chat for once, the website doesn't say to do Duviri/A.O.Z, but they're pretty....important story wise for W.I.T.W and 1999

[@omnizenn4559]

Chat is sabotaging this man by not allowing trade, which is pretty crucial in this game. As someone that has been playing since around 2014, I can understand wanting new people to experience the game fresh, but imposing limitations on mechanics that naturally come into play during normal gameplay is dumb. A no gift rule would be fine, but no trade is just forcing him to grind and progress way slower than anyone would by normally playing.

[@trigger8221]

Wait srsly? No trade, I would understand if he grinded the play and parts naturally, but damn no trade is harsh

[@stickmsn]

He was the one who decided not to trade tbh

[@lihzzahrdspeed6631]

Trade does not “come into play during normal gameplay”

[@Kozmokast]

@@stickmsn it's easier to blame chat lmao.

[@laurenwoods4199]

Except chat has been BEGGING him to trade. Plus as someone pointed out, Cross said no gifting originally, not no gifting and no trading.

[@CourageOfMyConvictions]

Loving the playthrough so far!!! Only thing that’s a shame was him getting hilariously unlucky with the cutscene bugs. Never had any issues, or heard of any issues, with cutscenes before. Wonder why the final Lotus scene bugged so hard…

[@elginj3410]

The bugs have been popping up since 1999 released and the dev team was on vacay until this past Monday. For some reason 1999 broke some older quests and whatnot. So that should be fixed in the coming month or so

[@ykiikii]

He's already at New War? Damn

[@JojoTheVulture]

It's a shame umbra didn't have a part to play in new war, even as just an npc. Ballas didn't die in sacrifice so umbra should know he lived and his revenge isn't complete

[@AnthonyAnalog]

3:22:11 the GOAT, mah baby TESHY!

[@BrettTracy713]

Drifter and operator are one in the same as I’m sure you know by now this is a paradox

[@FlautistSojwal]

He rushes things too much without reading the prompts on screen or hearing what NPCs are saying, that's why he died so many times. And I noticed he keeps saying "warframe experience" but he's not actually getting it, since he mainly keeps doing quests without the grind we've all been through. I used 5 forma on my mech and filled all 12 mod slots to make it OP before entering into new war quest, and my railjack was also 7777 on intrinsics + fully modded. Only place I had to respawn was when that archon started chasing in the beginning 😂 never died anywhere else. It's fun watching this guy play but he seriously needs some patience to read and hear things during the mission. PS: without trading and grinding, his warframe experience is at just 30-40%, hope he changes his way to experience the game fully.

[@Nekoriz]

About margulis debate.. if the game provide the option, then there's NO wrong answer, only different preference. While i personally pick lotus, margulis is never the wrong choice. Also i dunno why you guys hate duviri so much, i personally think duviri shouldve been played before the new war, i personally screamed of joy when i saw drifter at new war cuz i didnt think drifter will show up in the main quest

[@shinysilverfish]

I love duviri. My drifter is always wearing Duviri adjacent clothing. Playing Duviri before New War sounds stupid as hell. That's kind of like playing War Within before Second Dream. Like having an answer before a question.

[@GiffyHD]

picking margulis is the worst option lmao, could of picked either of the other 2 and then just bought the skin :p

[@ninten-drew5314]

Bruh same. I feel like either of the other 2 choices are acceptable but she just straight up isn’t Margulis. Margulis is DEAD. And if you wanted to make the argument of “Natah highly respected Margulis and wanted to be like her,” isn’t that *literally* the reason Natah came up with her Lotus persona in the first place? I’m sorry but if you picked Margulis you pretty much outed yourself as a simp lmao.

[@purgatory6103]

I haven’t done this quest yet and I’m not gonna watch the full vid because of spoilers, but how long is the new war(precisely)?

About 4 - 6 hours if u just kinda go with it. I'm sure u could speedrun it and finish it in 2, but obviously, that ruins the experience

It depends how fast you are, but generally 4-5 hours
