Been playing since it hit PlayStation. It’s not until watching newbies 1st run that I see I’m now callous to the game’s quality. I’m reminded how revolutionary many mechanics are!
Warframe midgame: 1- Be lost 2- Small number makes me cry 3- Did Mutalist Alad V one shot me AGAIN? 4- I think I need to farm primes now... 5- Still lost 6- I have a railjack but no driving license
The main reason digital extremes stays afloat with warframe is because people who spend money mostly do it to support the studio despite the fact that they could get everything for free
@@ChippiesBRyou can get everything for free because you can trade plat. And the only "manipulative practice" is the fact that you need to buy emplacements for weapons and frames.
@@ChippiesBR Yeah, that’s fair. Although I think the biggest issue is just the lack of red arrows pointing towards free methods of obtaining paid content. If more new players knew about all the ways to circumvent in game purchases, then there would definitely be less of the scumminess you talked about. Unfortunately, they need to make money somehow, or else no one could play warframe. I guess it’s a necessary evil when managing a massive multiplayer free-to-play game.
You got a lot of weird information. 1. Platinum (the premium currency) can be earned through trading so this game can be seen as almost entirely free. 2. Every frame, weapon, and later items can be gotten to level 30 to help your overall Mastery rank. You can get these things again to rank up, but will not provide anymore progress after they have been mastered once (lvl 30). 3. Don’t rush the game and just do all the missions and quests (you’ll have to do them all anyway if you want to actually do any endgame content). If you do it at your own pace, burn out is much less likely to happen.
Always love seeing videos titled "I'm falling in love with Warframe," I click on it and find out...they've barely done anything yet. Heartwarming. ☺ Truly does prove wrong the trope that "it takes 100 hours to get good." It doesn't. It's good from the start. It just gets greater later.
@howardyoo4070 As they should. 11 year old games should provide a lot of things to do, and the best part is, the long grind isn't super necessary if some.dont want to partake. The quests and story have risen to be the best part, and if people just want to experience that and then stop, all good. 👍
The game could do with explaining core systems a bit better, as I don't believe showing where the modding menu is and slotting a mod in fully explains it, but the thing carrying new players through the early-game confusion is the feeling of "yeah, I'm a space ninja". I begin to worry the moment people hit the first wall of "omg enemies are really tanky and I'm really squishy now", as while all the info is available to the player, it's not shown, which is one of my big gripes when learning the game. I've had to explain what I see as something simple to friends because they assume it works differently. I get every game's gonna have the early-game struggles, but finishing the tutorial quests has the game go "now go, rid the star system of evil" and leaves you to it, with any question you may have regarding certain gameplay elements being left on read. ... actually not too much different from D2 when you think about it... only Warframe doesn't immediately shove 10 pop-ups into your face and advertise campaign skippers on the log-in screen.
17:38 Heirloom skins USED to be limited. Now only the bundle itself is limited, so you can buy the skin and all the trimmings after it's initial sale period with the bundle. But yes, Heirlooms are about double the cost of a deluxe skin (400p). They changed the way Heirlooms work after the massive initial backlash with the Frost and Mag Heirlooms. Really hope they come back...
@@stryfe0 Every time that I see mag heirloom I experience a VISCERAL physical and mental trauma response because I couldn't get enough money for it before the end of the year when I came back to Warframe, and it was my favorite skin. Period. Ever. In any game I have ever played. I would pay a hundred bucks for an account just with the mag heirloom
@@draconic_underlord5297bro u couldn't gather 80$ over 5 month. U have really bad financial situation. Even i living in 3rd world country managed to buy it with salary of 200$.
@@stryfe0Yeah they can’t. They were advertised as an exclusive item and that they would not be for sale past the cutoff point. If they brought them back it’d be a huge legal issue. Same thing would happen if they brought back Excal P
Couple tips I'd give any new players: 1- do NOT sell your weapons/frames/pets until they get rank 30, each rank counts for your mastery rank, if you sell a lvl 10 skana, you'll have to get a new one and level it back up to 30 to get the missing mastery XP from the 20 ranks you missed on the weapon. 2- do NOT sell quest weapons, most are S tier and some are needed to unlock certain frames/weapons (i.e. Xoris for Protea, Paracesis for some sentient content). (Also note that regular weapon and prime/wraith/prisma/vandal variants all counts separately, so for instance, if you got a rank 20 Boltor, make sure to rank it to 30 before selling her to make room for your Boltor Prime).
Don't sell frames at all. Especially with the helminth system now added to the game. Well, let me correct myself, check how hard it is to earn the frame again before you sell it 😂 I remember selling Equinox shortly before the helminth came out. This was also before duviri/circuit dropped. I was so frustrated trying to earn all her parts again!
@@niconicoshi Dude, I remember selling khora, ivara, limbo, mirage, chroma, mesa, banshee, Wukong. So many 😭 I had to join a clan when I started playing again.
@@maimer1691 bro, of the ones you mentioned i only have banshee, mirage and khora on the helminth... atleast tbh, most aren't that useful, i do miss Ivara though...
@@niconicoshi dude get her prime! That's what I did. She's so useful in high level spy missions (sortie, archon hunt, etc). I'm really bad at stealth and remembering tilesets, even after playing for so long. Ivara let's me take my time 🥹
The youtuber space is pretty full with builds, but a new player perspective is missing. Builds that don't require 1000 of hours of grinding and simple builds that dont require the rare farming mods and weapons would probably fill a need since a lot of D2 players are coming over after the final shape.
Definitely need more beginner friendly builds. Also the beauty of this game as well is the trading system. I've gifted and traded my buddy the things he needed to feel powerful but not overly op
So the Bulletjump was actually created because we originally had a movement tech called "coptering". Back in the non bj days, when you used the spinning slide melee while mid air, it would propel you forward with the momentum of your melee weapon. The faster the melee, the faster you would fly forward. The fastest weapons in the game at the time were called the Zorens, thus the tech was called "zorencoptering" at first, then just "coptering" after other equally fast weapons were introduced. Eventually the devs decided that the absurd boosts of speed were too much. Sometimes you would glitch through walls with how fast you were going. It was blindingly fast. When they announced that they were removing coptering, the community rioted against it. Bulletjumping was the middle ground that DE thought of and it ended up being a massive upgrade over coptering which was a strictly horizontal movement tech. Now it's the staple of the movement in the game. We love a dev that works WITH the community and not against them.
@@nadjibmecibah6478It's a good Quest in terms of feeling progression in the game. If i remember well, the Quests prior “The second Dream" and “The War Within" are very basic and don't provide a Lot for the Lore. You feel like you're just completing every Planet missions with no direction of what's next. Meaning most of the Quests and content after “The Second Dream" become More interesting, in fact, most veterans say you're still in the tutorial until you complete the star chart. I still remember when i Completed “The Sacrifice" thinking i was near the Endgame 😂, but i still had a lot of content to Play.
I came from destiny year one vanilla and warframe is everything destiny was not. Destiny had thr chance to truely be legendary and yet that bullshit is what we got.
love this. Ive been playing warframe for years and this is the first time ive watched someone play warframe purely out of joy and entertainment raather than watching tutorials or guides. Please stream warframe soon :))
Definitely has been this seems to have been a couple days ago. I came into the stream the other day and he was cracking relics and forgot to select one and was calling the game bad 😂
Mactics when you "prestige" a warframe you reset it to level 0 and gain the ability to place one of those symbols in your mod slots on your warframe (or weapons, it is on anything that can slot mods). allows you to fit more mods and more higher level mods. You use an item called forma to do so, they look like little puzzle pieces.
It's not only just insanely fun to shoot things in space, but it's the way railjack missions seamlessly blend most of the game's different combat styles into one being the reason it's so fun. Switching from railjack to archwing to ground gameplay and back again is peak Warframe. I really hope DE expands on railjack in the future. Perhaps it'll happen if we ever go to Tau. More mods, more mission types, and more railjack types.
dont know if anyone told you already but since you were asking about the dollars to platinum ratio, one of the things you can get from the random daily login reward is a discount coupon that can be used to buy platinum (theres 25%, 50% and 75%) so while when it appears is random, if you wait you can get the most expensive plat bundle for 1/4 of the price
I'm unsure if it's truely random but many of my 75% platinum discounts happen when I return to playing the game after a break. It's either coincidence or they do increase the odds for returning members
@@Nanoqtran it's actually seen as a bit of a trick of the trade that if you just take a 3-4 day break you can usually get constant discount vouchers. You'll have to play for like 2-3 days to reset it and then go on another 3-4 day break. Legit if I want a specific skin or need like a reactor or catalyst I just take a few days off and get a discount
@@Nanoqtran probably. The game legit kinda rewards you for taking breaks. You literally leave for a few days and get a market or plat discount. And they don't even incentives you to use it or try to coerce you
since you were talking about cosmetics so much. the best thing about it are the Tennogen cosmetics (the ones that cant be bought for Plat, but only real money directly) every Tennogen Cosmetic was designed by a player/community member and submitted to Digital extremes, and when a submission makes it into the game, the player that designed the cosmetic gets a portion of every sale it makes. so if you buy a tennogen item, you support both the developer and the community member/player that designed it.
Just an FYI, A lot of the mechanics of Warframe are NOT explained well. For the most part, there will usually be a "tutorial" button in the bottom right of a menu that will explain said mechanics. Additionally, after the first quest, Warframe doesn't give a good direction for where to go. I would recommend simply going towards unlocking the other planets in the system, and things will work out, mostly.
my only problem is i have maxed out the basic tenno, and i feel like i have softlocked myself, as the power of my suit is not high enough, is that like a grinding issue or something else? do i need better upgrades?
@@bananadongl3 Most of the power you get comes from the mods you have and how upgraded they are. Some Warframes are beefier and stronger doing things than others, so if you're using, say, Volt or Trinity (who are kinda squishy), building tougher ones like Rhino can help with survivability. Similar with weapons, upgrading mods is where most power comes from. Reactors (for Warframes and Companions) and Catalysts (for weapons) will double the mod capacity for higher grade mods, and applying forma to mod slots will cause matching mods' polarities to drain less, allowing you apply more mods.
The super cool thing about the fashion is that not only does Digital Extremes make cool gear but they have contests for the community to make concept art/models and then they CREATE those skins/pieces by the artists and incorporate it into the game. So it supports the artist as well!
I'm MR20, with ~600 hours invested in this game, and I've only just caught up to current content. The person above me is correct, Warframe is a game that gets better the more you play. You could probably get to the same stage as where I am in half the time, but the best enjoyment you can have is to stop and smell the roses, and really take the time to try and engage with Warframe's many side systems. For example, fishing, it's so well done that it could be its own game. I paused my progression through the game, just to learn fishing. I've mastered it. Now, wherever possible, I can fill out Syndicate reputation by catching fish. It's meditative and much faster and more enjoyable than doing bounties 😊. But there is an endless font of such systems present in the game, and by rushing past them, you're missing half the game. Stop and smell the roses, my friend.
Seeing Cotton candy Samurai made my day dude, take your time tenno. It's a grind yes, challenges are hard the further in and you can pretty much be mad with power
You're having fun, enjoying the gameplay, that's fantastic! I would recommend not hanging around when completing objectives, though. There's a lot-a-lot of missions to get through and you'll make more progress by finishing the individual missions quickly and moving on to places where you can earn more Exp and more weapons/warframes. There's so much to discover and it's waiting for you further on in the Star Chart. Oh, and to answer the question of 'Primes vs Regular' frames, there's approximately 4 years between the release of a new Warframe and the release of its Prime variant, so for about half of the Warframes you only have their basic variant. They release a new Prime roughly four times a year, so it cycles on what you can get and where. Primes are only 'better' than regular frames by a small margin, such as a higher base Health/Shield/Energy Pool/Armour, so it genuinely doesn't matter whether you only have a basic version or a Prime in terms of gameplay. Just keep up with the progress, follow the path through the planets, and keep having fun with it, you're doing great ^^
@@iakovospapaioannou7202 True, but you'll forgive me for overlooking that because they didn't use to. When Frost Prime was released he was exactly the same, except with a few extra Shield points, they added the base polarities later after the Mod Slot rework ^^
As a comment said, yes there’s overpowered builds on RU-vid already, but there are no beginner friendly builds, all the builds on RU-vid are those who have played 100 plus hours, so a beginner build guide will help all the newest players who don’t have 100 hours in the game yet
Warframe is an amazing game. I really started playing winter of 2022 but by the summer of 2023, I got too good at the game. I've played everything, used almost everything. I could start a Warframe RU-vid channel with how much I know about. Heat inherit, expedite set ups, armor strip nukes, etc. I would sit in simulacrum, steel path survival, steel path disruption, 1 shot solo archon hunts, solo eidolons. Everything I used turned into a steel path nuke, made guns 1 shot steel path demolists, etc. Even though I stopped playing, I am glad I did play because the journey was so much fun.
Yeah I no life it for about 10 months, got to MR3 prestige or whatever 2nd lot is called and stopped because it was too much of the same but might come back cos there's been a lot of new things added
Mactics… let me tell you something. I just came back to warframe after playing it years ago for a short amount of time and now I’m here to find you playing it now too? Imagine the level of dumbfounded I’ve been since learning this info. I’ve watched you for destiny builds but I’ve stopped playing destiny. And now you’re here and present in another game I’m really into. Super happy you’re loving the game. Looking forward to builds here in the future
One thing I really enjoy with warframe as well is each week the community people at warframe do a stream called primetime and interact with the player base to get feedback, grind for new stuff sometimes with the players, and show new upcoming things for the game/ teasers its super cool to see
Crazy to see you playing. I jumped on this between d1 and d2 but ended up playing d2 after a few years. Redownloaded this and start playing again a few weeks ago. Good to see the chief build master in it
Also mactics is gonna fit in so well with the Warframe group. His quality of videos I feel like once he gets some knowledge under his belt he could make some entertaining content.
I'm surprised that nobody pointed this out to him in chat, but you don't really need to pay for the premium currency, there's an in-game economy where people trade certain items for the premium currency.
Hey! I don't know who you are, but keep this series going! I love watching new players experience Warframe, also hope you get to see all of the exiting ways you can play the game later down the line. you have earned a sub mr. youtuber~ keep it up!
I started playing warframe about a month ago after trying getting burnt out on destiny. I remember getting later into the game and missing the level of quality that your destiny build guides provide. I cannot wait to see you experience this game and start doing more and more builds. Much love and enjoy
Very entertaining so far. I'm looking forward to more, hopefully soon. This is definitely one of the better "first-time player" series I've seen so far. Watching someone be hyped about the game never gets old, and you've seen nothing yet since you're playing the oldest, most vanilla, most bare-bones content at the beginning.
To be honest every game that's 10+ years and still growing It must be doing something right... Love seeing a new Tenno on the rise, good luck with your farms!
22:40 About affinity/experience, it works like this. As you play your gear (warframe/ Weapons/ Companion) all gain affinity and level up separately. As does Focus & Syndicate standing, but I don't think you need to worry about those yet. As things level up for the fist time (cap 30) that affinity also counts twords your Mastery level. When that fills up you will be permitted to take a test of your skills (I 100% encourage practice runs first as you can't take the true test more than 1X per day) and if you succeed YOU level up.. This affects many things, some subtle, some less so. The most evident one is all your unleveled stuff will have energy equal to what it would have had it been the level you are. So new stuff becomes more viable hot out of the foundary. There are things called forma that will add a symbol to the modding area (polarity) but reset the item to lv 0. This lets you use more expensive mode, but releveling the same item will not build up your mastery rank.
As a long time warframe player, i welcome you, Tenno. And regarding on your question about build guide videos, yeah there are alot of people doing them for a long time that said theres alway room for new people for build guides, fashion frame and so on, so you're good brother 👍
Bruh how is it possible most RU-vidrs are just now finding warframe? As a 11 year vet I’m actually astonished and glad more ppl are finding this (hidden gem?) or gem
“So you’re telling me when there’s a cool piece of movement tech that the players love the studio turns it into a feature instead of removing it” Cries in D2 movement.
I'm glad you're enjoying the game so far. I know it's an OVERWHELMED experience for new players but the community guidance is very supportive. Stay awesome, Tenno! 😎🐦🔥✨✨✨
Good luck starting bro Some little advices: - leveling to level 3o different guns and frames helps you get mastery, which unlocks you more guns and frames - All normal frames are farmable, same as almost all guns - Leveling guns and frames will give you more capacity for mods, which would make you do more dmg and resist more - Primes are somehow "skins" (they have little changes) and even theyre premium content, you can get their relics from missions and then, in relic missions get the prime parts to build the prime warframes and weapons
For other new players, I'd recommend holding onto platinum for weapon and warframe slots. You have a very limited number to start, but you can get more from the free battle pass.
Played it all afternoon yesterday, passed my first level Master test and really enjoying it. Much more so than i thought. I've clocked thousands of hours in D2 and can see myself doing the same here.
Yeees!! It's so good to see you so hyped about another game,. As someone who's also spent most of his time on destiny (although I did play a little warframe) that's now made it my main game, you won't regret playing this game, it's an absolutely amazing experience.
Hey man first just want to start off by saying I love ur content and ur channel was my go to for making my hunter meta, however, when I saw u started playing warframe It gave me a reason to start watching you again. Destiny is fun but it is not a game for solo players as all the end game level content is locked behind needing a group. I’m glad you have enjoyed warframe so far and it’s been fun watching someone start from scratch (something I haven’t experienced in over 10 years). It’s great to have a company that actually listens to one of the best communities in the gaming landscape!
Since it feels like none have said that to you: Sprint > bullet > Aim glide and look to the direction you want > crouch (ctrl) for redirect or extend > second jump > crouch > aim glide > look to where you want to land and heavy attack (click scroll)
I remember when I first started and I decided to farm some relics so I could earn some plat and trade for few mods I wanted. The guy I ended up trading with noticed I was new and decided to just start giving me stuff that was just leftovers for him since he was an endgame player. It was a huge boost to my progression and it showed me how great this community is.
It's hilarious his reaction to the Ember Heirloom skin. I remember watching the Dev stream where they announced the new heirloom skin and they also focused on how "Balanced" the skin was
I started playing this game years ago, watched some RU-vid videos and tried to fumble around a bit but I would get so frustrated having more questions than answers, so I gave it up. And I’m realizing now that this game would be so amazing to play if I had a chat full of knowledgeable players telling me what to do lol. Watching you play it makes me want to redownload it.
Quick comment about the playlist, the way it's sorted right now "autoplay" plays the previous video chronologically rather than the next video. Especially without an ending screen or warning for the end of the video I keep being sent backwards to a video I've already watched rather than to the next one in order. Edit: just came back after seeing a pop-up logo at the end of a later video. That helps a lot.
love seeing people enjoy this game it’s a bit overwhelming but as long as you are given a good sense of direction or figure one out for yourself the game becomes really enjoyable
The absolute best bit of advice I can give to any new warframe player. Don’t rush the game. Play it at your own pace and enjoy yourself. Grinding through all the content and mastery rank will leave you exhausted. If you wanna quest one day but make frames go for it, if you want to rail jack another do it, bounties, level standing, farm mods, make plat, get a lich, duviri, whatever it is, dabble in everything! That’s what makes warframe fun at the end of the day.
Non prime warframes are mainly used for warframes which don't have primes yet (example being Yareli) but they are also used for the helminth which u will meet later on in the left side of ur ship and he will allow u to consume a normal warframe's ability which allows you to put said ability on a different normal or prime warframe. (No u can't consume prime warframes) Additionally after u subsume a Warframe they will turn into a flower in said room and you can't play them again, but u can indeed farm them again so u can have a copy of them and their ability to use for someone else.
Not gonna lie, this video (along with all the d2 b.s) got me to try this game. From the start, I asked a question in the chat, and right away people were quick to answer and give tips. I CANNOT wait until I get good at it lol. I have crap to learn but it’s cool to be part of a welcoming community.
The best part about the Packages is they ALSO come with platinum. So you get about 75% of your value in platinum on top of the cost of the package which is for the skins and accessories.
hope to see more gameplay of warframe, genuinely one of my favorite games to play, so happy you're playing it now. I hope to bump into you in Maroos bazaar or out in a mission sometime!
It's been really fun to watch you play! Been playing Warframe since Curse of Osiris era D2, and it has such a staggering scope of build options, grind and investment that is second to none.
for the game's monetization i would also like to note that while you can get platinum from in game trading for free i would also like to know that often you get sales on the plat you can buy all the way up to 75%. That way you can get a lot of plat for a small amount of money
Okay, I’m still new to warframe in the big picture, me 12 atm, but seeing your reaction to this, was just like how I was, as someone coming from d2 since red war, this golden
@Mactics and for anyone new, I cannot recommend enough binding crouch/slide to a mouse thumb button. Lets you bullet jump so much faster and smoother. Makes learning the system and chaining mobility easier as well.
It fills me with so much warmth when i see someone new connect the dots to this game. So excited to see my favorite destiny youtuber start playing my favorite game
It’s really cool to see you playing, it’d also be really cool to see semi regular uploads of this, no one really exists in the WF RU-vid space that makes videos quite like yours
As an off and on Mr15 who hasn't hit day 100 yet this game is great subscribing to watch your journey through the star chart, especially excited to see your reaction to The Second Dream quest!
there have been a lot of big changes to the way certain systems in this game work so a fresh perspective on builds that isn't biased from years and years of various meta builds coming and going would honestly be a great addition to what is already here on youtube.
The only thing that kinda restricts a player from getting more powerful the 'Orokin Reactors & Catalysts'. These items allow you to double the capacity of your Warframe and weapons to hold mods. This items are acquired through Alerts, Events, and/or purchased through the market using Platinum. Another concern is the amount of slots you are given, both Warframe and weapons. If you find good weapons or warframes and you run out of slots, you either discard a warframe/weapon or buy an extra slot with Plat as well.
as someone who has played this game since release, it is always so awesome to see someone new jump in and just love the game. If you are enjoying bows... just you wait and see what lies ahead....itll be ...dread-ful..
Good to see you will likely be sticking with warframe. The hardest part about being a new player is that the game is a bit of a slow burner before you get to the real good stuff. On the topic of clans/dojos, I would recommend joining one since making one yourself is an investment in of itself. Unless you got a lot of friends who can contribute.
Man I can’t wait for you to get to to the questline “Chains of Harrow”. If you read this, don’t forget to apply the mods (upgrades) to your weapons and melee and you can upgrade the mods strengths. Keep going and you’ll be flying around space and the open roam maps soon 💪🏽
