Warframe | Devshorts 22: 10 days left until TennoCon! 

The transparency about the forma topic was amazing to see, you guys are a tresure to gamers and the gaming industry

one solution to the forma debacle is adding in multi-craft forma BPs into the relics; common forma drops stay the same as now, but then uncommon drops give 3x forma BP, and then add in a rare drop tier with like 5-10x forma bp that way there's more bang for your buck waiting for the craft time, it makes uncommon forma drops actually have a reason for being uncommon, and it can add a new bundle tier for buying forma in bulk

Loved the transparency about the forma topic, I see your point and it's great you give honest answers and tackle difficult questions head on. Thanks!

After playing the first descendant, i must say.... thank you DE for making such a fun game, that game is everything we could've been if everything went wrong

Pls add more multi weapon wielding like glaives and pistols, they're so cool(like throwing stars and nikanas).

In terms of the forms multi builds, why not make a 3 forma blueprint, have the cost be 3 x the resources needed and put the build time either near or at the time for 3 formas in terms of wait. It will lean into giving players something they want while not messing with the sells of marketplace forma. Make the blueprint a reward for something like steel path or put it in the foundry and an upgraded segment which can be earned like a small upgrade. So if you have three blueprints for forma it gives you the option to build all three, but you have to wait longer or build one at a time and remember claim it when the forma is done. You can also sell the segment like the others for plat. This would be my thoughts on how to go about it.

Devshorts are awesome. Thank you for taking the time to do these. Can’t wait for TennoCon!

What about queueing foundry items up? you'd still need to wait out the timer but you wouldn't need to keep hopping on just to start the next forma

Best part of dev shorts for me is seeing what style Reb chooses for the day

Sadly unable to attend Tennocon once again, but i'm 100% saving up for it next year. Plane Tickets are a pain from Europe but i am DETERMINED to catch a Tennocon live.

“You thought this was a dev stream but it was me Dio!”

can they use mr reqirement on weapons to determent a crafting time it will solve the new player wants to play with the new toy problem

Craft Timers are at their worst for the new player experience, regardless of what is done to them overall, I think there needs to be an answer for new players on that front. Like a set of something like 10 free build Rushes for every player when they start the game, because I feel once you hit a certain point, you have enough to do in the game that the build timers become less of an issue, but at the start, when you are just getting engaged with rewards and stuff, it makes it rough to have your very first stuff you get building only to have to wait anywhere from 24-72 hours for it.

Given the age of Oberon's kit (his last rework was in 2017 before even the announcements of plains of eidolon, Focus 2.0, the prior elemental rework, and in an era where we only had the tilesets and far less expansive frame abilities....) the recent elemental reworks, and how... outdone by other frames he is at being an offensive support frame? Could he get looked at? Please?

If you don't want to allow parallel building of a single item, let people stage orders so people aren't logging in at 3AM to start that next 12 hour build or life gets in the way, at least you wouldn't have to wait another 5 days to get things done.

You guy's ever consider a looping, circular tileset?

Omni-forma please. Also some ideas for foundry times; A: make the Plat scaling softer aswell as the timer, don´t let people spend 25 plat for 15 minute wait times. B: let us feed recources to the foundry to boost the timers, aka you farm Garuda´s stuff from bounties, and optionally Max rank Fortuna standing to get her the same day. Many new players surely suffer from the latter, doing that will surely make the whole grind feel more rewarding, but less Extreme in certain places.

QoL suggestion: Can you please let Squads have the option to retain their original members after a mission? Example: 3 people squad of friends playing together. They join a mission, some random joins (which is desirable) then when the mission ends, they are back as 3 members in a squad rather than 4. Reason: I play with 2 friends and a lot of times we end up having to disband the squad and remaking it because that one random guy starts an other mission that we don't want OR they just AFK.

any microtransaction talk all they have to say is 'hey, we aren't last descendant' :)

I'm mad i missed this short out of all of them I got to see the way you guys like...think and what not.

❤❤❤❤❤❤ I can’t wait to see what you guys do with rail jack that’s one of my favorite Game and Warframe. I appreciate all the hard work that you guys putting your game. I love you guys very much and your game means a lot to me.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Id like to get a foundry segment that lowers timers like the nutrio segment

We could use x10/x25/x100 for the detonite injectors and other 2 things used for clan recruiting. Currently it's one each every 11/12 hours

I genuinely don't mind forma being so gated BUT fair and NOT hard to get even for free. Believe us, players who do pay, we don't mind as lont as it keeps the lighta on. Being able to craft them is more than enough IF you want to do "something" about it tho, reducing the crafting time by 1 hour OR making every 10th forma used "free" (not consume it) would be collosal. But again, we're fine as is right now .

Chatbot: you have been playing for over an hour, please take a break Rebb: Get back in the warframe Shinji

Hey all Im saying is 1999 skins would SELL. Like crazy. Its the look for my Mag uve been wanting. I know Ill have to wait until Tennocon, but fingers crossed.

DE would you be willing to max the Riven disposition out for the weapons that you wanted to add an Incarnon upgrade to but didn’t due to them processing alternative fire modes? I really, really love the Kulstar. I want to see what the spread pattern looks like with more multishot. To whom designed this beautiful contraption, thank you.

When it comes to Forma, stock pile is my advise as I keep crafting and farming Forma. Part of the Warframe grind. Due to the grind I am currently sitting on 80 Forma. So outside of the Farming and preparation of Forma I say Developers keep making your money so you can keep making this awesome game bigger and bigger. When I teach new players I compare it to life, got to grind and prepare for those hard times, if not prepared you got to pay a little extra. Warframe translation, farm and craft. D.E can’t wait to see you guys next week!

this is what dev shorts should always be like

I'm nervous as hell, cuz i'm attending TennoCon physically this year. It's going to be my verry first year!....i hope i can meet steve and rebbecca in person and hang out with them!

Rebb was flayed soon after the recording of this devshort R.I.P.

I need to start catching these fr. I want to suggest that with the configs of our frames and weapons that that they all don’t have the same polarities. Like if I forma config a for a certain polarity then config b and c shouldn’t share that same polarity. I feel like that will open up the door for a lot more creativity.

Petition to keep the timer on until next Devshort it will be nice to see lol

i think crafting queue is the best possible compromise since you don't get things faster but you don't lose out because you didn't craft one 1.05 seconds after previous finishes. granted that could lower engagement due to people farming a lot then leaving to let stuff craft which could hurt potential profitability (genuinely u guys need a few passive revenue streams I'm okay with that bc u guys are chill and whatnot)

Sup Dev team much love.....fellow Tenno here giving y'all a shout out.....keep up the good work!!

9:52 i legit do not care about crafting timers. It's actually an immersive way to create a way for the company to make money. Just have patience people

Why does she look so damn Good bro😭

Please please please add more to Railjacks!

Can Arm Cannons get an animation update where they're fired like Megaman instead of hipfire?

what about a QOL khora/atlas/gara , exalted stat-stck weapons fix or rework especially in circuit or elite deep???????

For the Forma's or foundry items in general. There could be a module from the shop to be able to que items up. In this way i can que up my 5 forma BP's. and they'll be done in 5 days. I think it is nice to not have to think about re-queing them.

Steve *not improvising the forma answer* Rev: sigan viendo 😎👌

Could weapon variants have their base appearence as a skin like prime warframes? Pleeease?

Imagine like having a full forma build add in an omni format that makes the rest of the formal become compatible with all the types of polarity , that way we still use format but as a cherry on top we add that omni forma.

Hi frame peeps!

Good compromise would probably be Auto Queue multiple items. I'm willing to pay the time tax but I think making the time tax less annoying to interact with is already a huge deal.

damn, a good dev stream, thanks

My problem with forma is that I have 5 or 6 formas on my weapons, and I can't really use my corrosive and headshot crit build, because one of them will have negative polarity, so I can't equip full leveled mods. Which is awful after putting so much effort to it.

Bro just put a 3x forma blueprint in the relic rotations. It's so simple

Can't wait for CubeFrame :)

I can’t believe I missed this

Maybe make a new drop during void fissures that reduces the foundry timer of a random item by some time. This way you get more playtime from players. Or at least give me multiple relic opening fissures, I can't bother to open 500 relics.

After playing The First Descendant for a bit, I went back to Warframe and appreciate it and DE a hell of a lot more. There's some major scumbaggery out there and WF players don't know how good they have it and how worse it can get.

I'm worried more about Warframe running well on a wide spectrum of devices (ideally without overheating my heatwave-scorched house), over ray tracing.

Make Formas take 1 hour. You can make 3-4 forma in a lengthy session (inc levelling an item before the next forma), rewarding for people actually playing the game. I peronsally would still buy my forma as I cant be bothered with the farming for the forma BPs, but once you have the BP, let them be built quick.

With the return to the past, wonder if there will be a cameo from a certain Hyden Tenno. Arthur seems to fills his role in cannon, but maybe an exalted glaive warframe?

I mean you can add the can 3 forma craft at the same time like in the 3 forma bundle in the market and each forma increase the craft timer like 1 forma 8 hours 2 forma 16 hours and 3 forma 24 hours

13:00 sooo let us build 3 forma in a pack and multiply the time by 3. What is the most annoying for me is I can't always log in at the same time to queue another one. At least that gives a choice without defeating the timer completely.

Please make higher enemy scaling faster to level cap instead of two plus hours in a demolition mission or 4 hours in survival. 1 hour in void cascade is prefect. Also, please add where you can pick the enemies' level in the simulacrum. 225 isn't high enough. I would like to test my build to see if it would work at level cap.

For Forma stuff, you could make a "x3 Forma Blueprint" available during events. But in order to not disrupt the whole forma microtransation stuff, you could limit the amount per event to 3. That way, per major event you get the ability to bulk-forge 9 forma in total. That wouldn't shake things up too badly, would it?

I 100% get why they wouldn't want to let you craft multiple of the same items at the same time. What I'd like to see is the craft time go from 24 hours to 23 hours just so I can log on around the same time each day and not have wait around for it to finish up if I'm a little early.😆 Or another option could be to let use queue item crafts so we don't have to baby sit those multiple 1min crafts.

London streeets torn up? TennoCon Steel Path!

R.I.P. DIO ( Ronald James Padavona )

I think what they are trying to say is they make a lot of money off of forma which is a key contributor to the games development. Some people buy forma out right because of not wanting to wait for crafting multiple forma. The idea of crafting 3 in one blueprint with the equal time of 3 separately crafted back to back sounds good but then that eliminates a possible sale if someone couldnt line them up in time and had to maybe buy the 3rd one out right to complete a build on a Saturday or something. They wanna think of a way to help people out but like they said, it's not that simple cause they could loose a potentially substantial amount of money. If anything, I think they should make it so we can stack polarities on one mod slot for different builds giving a slot potentially all polarity symbols yet costing a forma each time. This would also yield potentially more forma sales due to increased interest in forma per frame/weapon. Just a idea.

Being able to lock colors on frames and weapons as swapping them around can cause issues, either making things too bright or not visible, thinking of zenith's wall hack icon becoming invisible

Maybe a comprise to the forma question might be adding certain rare forma blueprints as a reward that create 2x or 3x forma?

i think lowering timers maybe and queuing up crafting for items would be a good solution, having to get on every 12 hours for only ONE forma feels not great, that means if i have all the mods for a frame i wanna start making a build on its at minimum around 2-3 days, but realistically its a weeklong process with work or other priorities.

We need to have an orokin forge available every other weekend that lets you queue up 5 forma or something. Would be nice for those of us who can only play on the weekends.

Other people have said it before, but I just wanna parrot it on the off-chance it gets seen. Obviously like Reb said, Forma is a major part of their monetization and that's completely understandable, so how about being able to Queue multiple items instead, so that they auto-start a new build once the first has completed? For example, you farm the blueprints and queue 5 forma, and then you still have to wait the 5 days (well, 4 days 19 hours) for them to all finish, but you dont need to log in every single day to claim them, say if you're going away for an event *(cough cough Tennocon?)* and instead once you get home you have 5 built forma sitting in your foundry ready for you to use? Youd still need to put in the effort of farming the blueprints, youd still need the resources, youd still need to wait the designated time, so it shouldnt interfere with monetization in any majorly impactful way, its just a QoL convenience for when people aren't able to log in daily for whatever reason while still respecting the time they've already invested into farming all those bps and resources. 😊

Any fixes out for Jade's 4 descending/ascending mechanics? I will find myself automatically going up or down all the way if I press the key for it enough times. I also noticed the key glyphs keep bugging in the netracell mode so players have to quit and rejoin for it to work again.

How to rework chroma: 1 spectral scream: have it be an additive elemental damage buff to weapons max lvl. +100% what ever ur current element is. Augment changes that every 5 landed shots sends out a orb doing base 80% damage done in that shot. 2 ward: his ice is no longer a armor buff its now a 70% damage reduction at base keeping its send back feature, fire now increases health and heals per sec, elec same as health but sheild, poison now a straight multiplicative maxing at 50% damage to all sources. Now can swap elements with 2 not 1 3: no change to 3 4: now gives you and teamates an ability strength buff reduces your own armor by 50% and gives your teamates accesa to all your active buffs even if ur not in range including your 1 element buff your 4 no longer increases ur credits that will be moved to his passive.

A universal polarity forma (like the stance/arua forma) would be nice.

Every 10 Mr levels you get +1 concurrent build item would be cool

Craft times are fine and if people have patience and diligence they will absolutely be rewarded over time with an abundance of everything.

I think an automatic Forma printer that you put in ducats and forma blueprints and it keeps going until it runs out

Please bring Garuda after this resurgence. Ik she just left the unvaulted relics but I need her accessories so bad, they are so cool!

You guys really need to have the mag and frost heirloom back, I didn't like that it wad limited

Does anyone else see the orb at the left of Steve on the video on his right at 12.45

So i definitely prefer warframe but I really hope the first descendant doesn’t die off competition is good for the consumer hopefully it’ll make warframe better overall

Enough is enough DE please upgrade Baro ki'Teer gear/inventory! So sick of getting hyped for his return and getting disappointed 😭😭😭😭 Time for Baro Ki'Teer PRIME ‼️💯

Let us queue multiple forma to build in the foundry. If we queue up 3 to build and come back to the game days later they'll be there ready for us.

ngl that was kinda dope seeing the timer running all this time 😂 I would suggest keep doing that, but I also wouldn't want to drain your batteries unnecessarily hahaha

Steve organizing with the city for the benefit of all Infested Corpus Ship Tileset enjoyers.

The only current game that allows me to just use a great sword and no guns for load out. Thank you thank you thank you. You scratch my greatsword itch over and over again.

i love pregnant warframes

When will SoulFrame going to be on Consoles?

rage mode when Steve you promised it back in the 2019

Maybe I am just completely out of touch, but I'm just not seeing the forma problem. Since people are complaining about crafting time, I assume they have all the blueprints they need. If we look at the last two prime Warframes released to get a good average, so Gauss and Protea, in that time there have been two new frames and two unvaultings, making a total of eight frames. Let's say you wanted to stick five formas on all eight frames. Then you decided you wanted two new weapons for each frame and decided to stick five forma on all 16 weapons for whatever reason. You would need 120 forma. There are 153 days between Protea and Gauss, so you can skip a month and still have enough time to build enough forma to do all that for free. You don't even have to log in; just get the mobile app. It takes about 10 seconds to click it twice.

Please guys, Why a Limit of 180 Riven Slots? If there was no limit i would buy Like 6 slots every month, And im not the only one with that (also loadout Slots too)

Forma proposal: Add a Forma Prime blueprint into the game. It could allow the player to craft, say, three Forma simultaneously and it could be a rare drop from [insert loot pool].

love da game love yalls work. be safe and hope everything goes well reb and steve and team*

Fuckin 10/10 hat Steve love it

Raid is back baby!

no wonder my battery has been dying ... !

Formas for building weapons and frames is 100 percent fine to me but I really dislike need five formas per kuva or tenet weapon as well as Necramechs. Thats a solid 300+ just on them alone, not to me tion the infested variants that keep getting hinted at! Considering 1999 will be infested focus i assume thats where you are heading with it

6:30 "I'm so exciiited! I'm soo exciiitteeedd!

honestly building forma brings me back to the game every day lol so i dont mind. Would be nice building two at a time but i see where there coming from. Gotta fund the game and feed the team!!

oh yeah, on steam deck steam input wouldn't let me rebind controls properly in-game so i just disabled it, but idk if that breaks the steam deck controller or something, i never used it. though now whenever i mess with any settings it may randomly ghost-enable the special ps5 triggers and i have to toggle them a few times until it stops but a steam deck issue that has been omega annoying since the great crossave migration is not being able to login/cilck ui elements in desktop mode, but that from what i understand its apparently really annoying to fix. but would be nice and i would play a lot more if it didn't feel like 3~4 loading screens to get wf open (steam deck all i got that is worth playing wf on) (also onscreen keyboard in game mode still gives game inputs and messes everything up if trying to type with controller) and the forma thing, i dont buy forma already so all it would do is make me tempted to play more and do more relics knowing that every forma bp really starts to add up but i dont have money to spend on forma anyway, but it is more convenient for me to have DE make money on things i dont feel like i need to buy lmao, so i understand either way

What happens if the event hits 100%?

If I could choose what to make "less grindy or annoying" then Forma isn't even that big of a deal to me. The 3 days timer for warframes is waaaay worse, in particular for new players. I looked at First Descendant reviews on Steam which are overall mixed (e.g. since their monetization is insane) but one of the positives people mention is they don't have to wait 3 days for things. It makes me sad if _that_ is the thing that turns new players away when it could easily be fixed.
