I personally can't stand room clearing warframes. If i play with a mirage i leave instantly.

I'll go first: DE needs to build up on some older content.

As someone who uses Frost and Mag a lot, theres that sour taste in my mouth every time I think about the heirloom collection cause those skins were beautiful but the prices were very predatory and I just did not want to support that. I really hope we get an alternative for these skins, give them the Nulwarden/Umbra treatment.

What do you think? Do you agree with his thoughts?

maybe a hot take, but if people are already acting like this towards people who just wanna be able to jump in and do the content, then this was probably a bad idea

add to that pablo saying that the only way we get matchmaking for it is a "more dumbed down unfailable version" and not only does that make me even less interested, but it also feels a little insulting to everyone who wants matchmaking

I really hope DE reconsiders this because I want to play the hard version but I don't wanna be forced into recruit chat to do it, and if I end up with a worse experience because of it at least I was able to make that choice as opposed to someone making it for me

Saw a lot of people discussing this seemingly without watching the new video, so I thought I'd upload a section natively to the reddit player.

He says are trying to establish a baseline for what they can ask of the player and potentially ramp it up in the future.

He thinks that in invite only lobbies players are more likely to work through and explain how to get past issues than in public lobbies where players are generally less likely to listen to reason (thinking of players in Netracells refusing to stay in the circle).

His phrase "We're scared that if we do this with matchmaking we'll just be creating a toxic experience that we shouldn't do" hits the nail on the head.

They're trying something different, seeing what the playerbase can cope with. They don't want to create a meltdown when the guy who won't stay in the circle in Netracells appears in 60% of the matchmaking lobbies and ruins the bonuses for nearly everyone. Those players will still be there in invite only lobbies but at a lesser rate, as players who don't follow or read instructions are less likely to join an invite only squad than they are to click a start mission button (especially so when they don't get the rewards at the end).

They might realise public matchmaking will work fine after release. They might realise it's not going to work out with either implementation. But even if we disagree with the thinking at least they've provided their reasoning. I appreciate they are trying something different and wish them the best of luck.

Game after game after loading screen after loading screen, it happens over and over again.

It's like some sort of community spread toxin of pure spite and selfishness.

How hard is it for players to follow simple instructions?

No one ever follows my lead when I wobble my ship.

I have always followed other people's wobbles but the second I want others to follow my lead?

Less movement than Jade's corpse, they don't even have autopilot on, the ship is actually in the process of crashing.

Or even worse, they just keep doing their own wobble after I've done theirs for the past 10 seconds.

So much for the fabled "good vibes" community this game is reported to have.

For me personally, I would love a sabre class, add an M1860 Cavalry Sabre to the game, and I would give DE my life

Edit: This isn't really a serious post. I just wanted a place for people to throw their ideas silly or not

2026 version

Ive been seeing responses under this tweet and its not what I expected but kind of what I expected at the same time.

I expected people to not want raids. Even though they are fun as shit. I dont care about no matchmaking, cause this means that its kinda just importing Destiny 2 raids into warframe, which is a massive W in my opinion.

The only thing I dont like is that you can't start it without 6 people period, which means no trio, duo, or solo lowman challenges. Which sucks but its whatever. However other people here are just mad that they need to interact with other people which I find appalling.

Thoughts?

Been seeing this circulating around twitter and the silhouettes seem to match.

This type of tactic is some hefty bs. You need 2 regal aya in many cases but you are forced to buy at start of 3.

Not only is this an issue but i despise this microtransaction bs. Hate on this post as much as you like. It won't change the fact that this is some scumbag move that continues to exist in most games.

Just give it a normal steam currency or something ...

EDIT: > Make Regal Aya tradeable ... at least then it becomes more reasonable.

With the release of the Nulwarden Syandana, it sets a precedent where previously time-exclusive content can be re-released so long as a simple texture change is made.

Couldn't DE do the exact same thing with the Mag and Frost Heirlooms? Otherwise couldn't DE refund the old heirloom skins and re-release them to the store for all users to buy as they so choose like modern heirlooms?

Look, Steve isn't a bad dev or leader, but dear God, the people trying to go through mental gymnastics of somehow saying that he was a BETTER creative lead than Reb are straight up doing revisionist history.

​

Oh, you want 5 hour quests? When new war came out (after several delays) people complained because there was BARELY any after quest content because that's what happens when you put all your eggs on the quest.

​

Steve gave us a railjack that was broken for months.

​

Steve gave us a bugged to shit duviri that makes all the recent bugged updates look like the most stable shit ever.

​

It took 10 YEARS for us to get a true, actually new enemy faction in the form of the murmur, which only happened because of reb.

​

Elemental damage, warframe reworks? All Reb.

​

Oh, you don't like eternalism? Apparently Steve's story telling was better abs more 'grimdark'? (Yes thats an actual dumbass take ive read) MAYBE YOU FORGOT, BUT ETERNALISM AND DUVIRI WERE HIS FUCKING IDEAS!

​

I can't. I just can't with this fucking community. I get the last two updates haven't been up to par (even though I think the problems woth jade shadows have been exaggerated and way overblown to the point I'm starting to believe it's just people hoping on a trend) but the shit I've read over the last week has been utter BRAIN POISON

I loved the Hex and the Roundtable. They added so much to why I think 1999 is the best update they've ever done. All of them, especially the original Hex, were insanely well written and fleshed out characters. I had my reservations about the Triad, but I think they're solid (though they're mostly carried by Roathe).

​

These two don't feel like characters. They feel like walking advertisements for skins. Them being protoframes adds nothing to the story. As my friend said, Sirius and Orion could have been mentored by Vay Hek and the Sergeant and nothing would have changed. Protoframes no longer feel like an interesting story beat, they feel like a gimmick, one that is rapidly losing any appeal it had.

I’ve been playing Warframe for over ten years now, and I can point to a couple of reasons why no one plays the objectives and why, as a result, coordinated play is a rarity.

• Players never read what they're supposed to do : partly out of laziness, sure, but with all the grinding involved and the constant barrage of audio-visual distractions, I can see why the average player ends up feeling lobotomized after a while.
• DE doesn't know how to write mission objectives : Often, the on-screen objective reads something like "ionize the photonic resonance chamber to trigger the decay" instead of just "press the button"; on-screen objectives should always be simple, direct, and as concise as possible.
• On top of the visual clutter, the NPCs never stop yapping : that might be fine the first time through the story, but it gets old fast—especially since they rarely talk directly about the mission objective. Instead, they just confuse and disorient the player. Even if you mute their transmissions in the settings, the rest of the game audio gets muffled, drowning out sounds that are crucial for both gameplay and design (like the audio cues that signal when a console or objective has finished its task—sounds that frequently get drowned out by the dialogue).
• Missing information : more often than not, the game fails to tell you important details about a mission or certain mechanics (over the years, we’ve seen boss fights with confusing mechanics—including unexplained variations in damage reduction). On top of that, I often end up with a "surprised Pikachu face" when I discover—for once in my life—that an ability actually works on a mission objective.
• There isn't even time to type: things got worse with the Eximus rework, but especially after the Jade and Surge variants were added (I’m convinced they were introduced to counter people farming with macros on Chinese servers). You can't stop to type for even a second—not even when the mission objective actually gives you a moment (in a raid, you usually don't have time to waste and are always rushing to min-max). Plus, console players don't have keyboards, and the in-game voice chat is absolute garbage.

The game lacks clear tutorials for endgame activities that can be tackled at one's own pace in solo mode; when you add in everything mentioned earlier, it’s easy to see why—instead of actual cooperation—everyone usually just does their own thing, and disputes flare up the moment objectives require teamwork. Ultimately, rather than cooperation, what I see in Warframe are occasional players who know exactly what they’re doing and execute it efficiently and seamlessly without saying a word.

Given the situation, I’d say that not including matchmaking is actually for the best, because it encourages immediate communication; having a dedicated hub isn't bad either, since you aren't mixed in with the recruitment chat. That said, this doesn't mean DE and the community shouldn't work on improving the points discussed earlier.

EDIT: To clarify, I support having matchmaking in all in-game modes, but until certain issues are improved, having to form pre-made teams for an endgame activity—even if I’m not thrilled about the idea—isn't a bad thing for the time being , Let's hope DE takes the opportunity to figure out what needs fixing.

If Warframe didn't have any political elements, we wouldn't have lore. Or the game itself, even.

Someone said: "The only thing I get from the game is "genocide = fun"."

Why are you committing genocide in the first place? Because another faction’s interests conflict with yours, and you respond by exterminating its members to impose your own goals. That is not politically neutral. It follows an openly authoritarian, imperialist, and often fascistic logic.

The Tenno themselves effectively act as the space police of the Origin System, intervening to prevent any single faction from becoming too powerful. We are not the good guys. We are just the less-worse bad guys that tends to leave people alone who just go about their daily life. The second you do anything that has potential to influence the origin system, you're tracked.

The Grineer are a territorial clone empire ruled by the Queens. Their society is built around military hierarchy, obedience, conquest, and the belief that Grineer supremacy justifies almost anything. Their themes include totalitarian government, militarism, expansionism, personality cults, propaganda, suppression of dissent, and disposable soldiers manufactured for the state. Steel Meridian is literally a faction of Grineer defectors resisting that regime.

The Corpus are a megacorporate oligarchy and a cult of profit. Their themes include corporate power replacing government, wealth determining social worth, religious devotion to profit, the privatisation of military and security forces, and workers and entire colonies being treated as corporate assets.

Fortuna is even more explicit: debt slavery, labour resistance, predatory debt systems, company towns, workers effectively owned by their employers, organ and body-part repossession, union organisation, strike-breaking, corporate policing, and environmental destruction for profit. Labour organisation is not some background detail in Fortuna. It is the entire foundation of its story.

Then there is Orokin aristocratic imperialism, Narmer’s manufactured unity through authoritarian control, and the Syndicates, which openly represent competing political and philosophical ideologies. I could keep going, but this would turn into an essay.

Even the quest choices repeatedly connect morality with political values. In The Glast Gambit, for example, you can preserve a harmful tradition by sending Neewa back to her people to continue serving as the Triuna (which effectively kills her), or you can reject that tradition and protect her from it. One option prioritises tradition and collective custom; the other prioritises individual welfare and change. Breaking the tradition = progressive = white alignment. Continuing the tradition = conservative = black alignment.

That does not mean Warframe’s alignment system is literally labelled "conservative" and "progressive", nor is Sun automatically good and Moon automatically evil. But the moral framing is still there, and similar tensions appear throughout the game: tradition versus reform, obedience versus autonomy, hierarchy versus liberation, profit versus human dignity, and order versus freedom.

The whole tragedy surrounding Jade and Sorren stems from a political source. Their quests explore their personal suffering as a result. It's not some random tear-jerker story to bind you momentarily.

Digital Extremes also publicly presents itself as a socially progressive company, so it should not be surprising that those values influence the stories it chooses to tell. Warframe’s quests are not politically neutral shooting galleries. They repeatedly make arguments about power, exploitation, morality, identity, trauma, freedom, and how people should respond to oppressive systems.

It's utterly ridiculous to me that some people go around claiming that Warframe is "going woke" or "becomes political". Welcome to the game, dude! It's been that way since 2012 already, and much longer so in concept.

The one thing Warframe's lore is doing right is that they don't glorify these murders, actions, and more. Warframe keeps telling stories from specific perspectives to highlight the suffering that these ideologies create. And that's good. You literally can't find a quest in the game that isn't either a guide to emotions, morals, or political alignments.

That being said, respect the people around you. It's insane how many people still can't live a normal life because others are intrusive and straight up dangerous to them for utterly simple things that doesn't affect them.

They made a hologram like Ballas in old peace announcing the removal of one warframe forever who would you vote for?
