Warframe: The Pinnacle F2P Gaming Experience (Review)

[@kancelas]

The tutorial ends with the completion of The Second Dream quest. Killing Vor is the end of movement tutorial, but until The Second Dream you are introduced to most systems, leaving 3 mid-late game systems to explore and experiment with.

[@NewbWorld]

Thanks for clearing that up. (:

[@ReviewersGuildArSR]

IMO, controller is easy compared to keyboard mouse. The moment i saw that doing a bullet jump was easier on controller i never looked back lol

[@NewbWorld]

Yea, it's strange using my controller on my PC, but it just feels better. 😂

[@yodasears]

Overlooking Duviri denies you one of the best parts of late-game - Steel Path Circuit unlocks incarnon genesis adaptors, which take a bunch of vanilla early game weapons and make them customizable and ludicrously more powerful. While it seems like defeating Vor is the end of the tutorial, the tutorial really ends when you do Second Dream/War Within (depending on the player, between 30 and 100 hours in) - at that point, most of the core systems are available to you and you've been introduced to the first finesse system (Focus). The New War quest makes the Duviri character make more sense.

[@NewbWorld]

Thanks for clearing that up. (: Yea, I didn't really get who the Duviri character was, but the story was very interesting. I know I got to go back to it sooner or later, I just have so much more fun in my Warframe, vs. the duviri character.

[@Orochiex3]

Lemme shorten this down for you : Is Warframe worth it? Yes

[@NewbWorld]

Yea, I don't think you'll find another game that'll give you so much fun, and ask for so little in return.

[@andypomales1558]

As someone who started, stopped quickly, took a two-year break, and eventually found myself playing it again: It was a blast. Lots of fun and interesting things to do, crazy story, ingame fashion, loadouts to try, etc Only gripes I could possibly have are that 1: The wait times on crafting are crazy, and I don't understand much of the justification as to why they should be so long. 2: Things are hardly ever explained well. I can think of several times when I was struggling against convoluted boss mechanics and stages because there was hardly any hinting or explanations as to what you'd have to do. Not to say that the game should've babied me ofc, but some explainers would be helpful Although tbh, it also got me to look up youtube tutorials and learn a lot more cool stuff about the game with all the nice, interactive content creators in the gamepshere. So even with that negative there's positives!

[@NewbWorld]

Yea, and I really like what I see from the KZbin community around the game. Quality creators, and the community seems to nice and positive. I come from New World, and that fan base has recently gotten so toxic, it's nice checking out friendly and optimistic communities, like Warframe and Guild Wars 2. 😂 I imagine the wait times are to get people to spend money, it is F2P after all. For me it isn't much of an issue though, as I can only play a couple of days out of the week, so when I got work, I put my things to research, and then when I come back on my day off I got new goodies to try out. :P But yea, if I have 1 day to play, and I really want to try something, it's sometimes a bummer to be like, oh well, I'll try it out next week.

[@nelson2095]

It's not so much as to get people to spend money. It was setup that way to encourage people to explore more while things are cooking in the foundry. It won't be long until you find yourself with so much stuff going in the foundry, you won't know what to do with them. It also unintentionally teaches players patience, if nothing else, since it seems to be a lost 'art' in today's push button, instant gratification, 'I want it now or I'm going to lose it' generation. So there is that. 😁

[@NewbWorld]

@@nelson2095 True, it does feel good when it's finally done because of the wait. :P

[@newtz.]

there is an endgame, but what you said is midgame experience is still in the middle of early game... and no there are no raids.

[@NewbWorld]

But would you say it's universal what the end game is? And if so, what is it? Because I found everyone saying different things, and there was no definitive answer to what is Warframe end game.

[@NesdatNatsirt]

​@NewbWorld Vet of 11 years here technically there is no endgame cuz of the amount of gear, gamemodes and such to collect. As ya said its often memed that the true end game of warframe is FashionFrame aka looking as good as possible which has a very dedicated sub-community. But back to the end game bit i have done almost anything yet i keep playing cuz theres always someone who want help or some company to finish the grind i just finished. There is only so much game as you want there to be.

[@Lochan301]

If you still play and never got to it, join a clan. They provide help with more frames/weapons. Even loading into a featured clan dojo will show the creativity players have.

[@NewbWorld]

Yea, going into my first dojo was pretty wild. It's like a whole new player hub to experience.

[@nelson2095]

Welcome baby Tenno. You just entered a very deep rabbit hole. Tutorial doesn't end until you complete the quest 'The Second Dream'.

[@NewbWorld]

Guess I gotta keep grinding. 😂

[@Z-MACx]

First

😂 Boy this video took a while to catch the algorithm.

[@Z-MACx]

@@NewbWorld seriously. Glad it caught some traction! 😎
