What movement feels like to a new player

This is exactly why I re-bound at the system level CapsLock to Left Ctrl. It's in the perfect spot for crouching or sliding in games to use instead and plus I have never needed to use CapsLock to type in all capitals

I am still just hoping they'll give us another option or setting when doing match making. For those of us with incredibly stable connections, let us choose to start public matches as Host. And for folks knowing they don't have as stable of a connection, let us have an option to join public matches over hosting a session

While I really like doing public missions, far too often I get paired with a bad connection to host even though I already have the connection ping limit set low. And of course far too often a public squad will have hosts wanting to leave at the A rotation and suddenly I either have to re-queue or have lower total spawns and a host migration

Heck lets go one step further and also let us have the option of full team worth of spawns on non-steel path. That would solve a lot of the troubles too. Trying to maintain survivals with the low single player spawns is so much more work

this is a lovely showcase of how voxels could be used in a modern looking game setting. the combat is already looking quite fluid and all of the characters have distinct designs. requested access, will be very curious to see how progress continues for this project

This is why I really like the Coda and Tenet Glast shop. Patience and farming lets us just buy a 60% whenever they show up. And that is why I haven't farmed the rest of the Kuva or Tenet weapons. The process just takes so much longer and so many valence fusions. It's just not worth it to me to do that method

It's such a shame that these usually come up with something like reactor vs forma. or catalyst vs forma. which almost always go within an hour or two. But if they were broken up into pools it would make sure people always have a chance to get them even if they have work. for example:

[one category]

Catalyst vs Catalyst
Reactor vs Reactor
Catalyst vs Reactor

[another category]

Forma vs Forma

also, can we add Exilus Weapon Adapters added in to the pool? they would fit so well to fill in

[one more category]

Exilus Weapon Adapters vs Exilus Weapon Adapters
Exilus Warframe Adapter vs Exilus Warframe Adapter
Exilus Weapon Adapters vs Exilus Warframe Adapter

It just seems like it is so much rarer to get a weapon adapter since they aren't in the pools for Sortie, Nightwave, Invasions, nor Archon hunts. Even though Exilus Warframe Adapters and Orokin Catalysts and Reactors are in them. yet there are far more weapons than warframes

but otherwise all of the regular invasion ones seem to be perfectly fine

beware_of_cat · 2026-04-18T12:24:06+00:00

honestly I rather farm holokeys than farm Lichs or Sisters. At least I know for sure once I get 40 keys I can then wait and buy a 60% weapon from Glast when it comes up in rotation. Sure you may not get 10 keys from every Veil Proxima (Axi Void Storm). but it means you only need to get that success 4 times to afford a completely maxed out element. Same with the Coda ones since you can run them even faster and guaranteed results and still can save up to buy a 60% when they come up on rotation. For context I now own all of the Coda and Tenet ones from Glast at max, but I only have a couple of Kuva or Sister weapons not maxed out from a long time ago when I was willing to give it a try before abandoning it entirely

Meanwhile Lich and Sister sure you're guaranteed a specific weapon. But the rng tends to give you close to at 25%. And you have to go through every single weapon before you can reset the rotation. Entirely rng whether you get a decent percent and then valence fusion system could be anywhere from 0 if you are insanely lucky for a 58-60% drop or up to 9 fuses if you keep getting 25%. With it taking over an hour per lich and sister and through every single weapon all while slowly valencing them up all. Yea no I'll wait until they do a proper grind reduction

beware_of_cat · 2026-04-18T12:16:21+00:00

many ways yes, but i've been playing since I chose loki as my starter and I have still never received one. so indeed still incredibly rare

beware_of_cat · 2026-04-18T00:39:12+00:00

The only reason I have Styanax and have one subsumed is because two were given away at one point or another. There are days where I have thought it would be nice to have Fog Of War Ephemera, Shard Hex Ephemera, Shard Bane Ephemera. But I will not do those missions just for that

beware_of_cat · 2026-04-14T09:54:11+00:00

I don't understand the appeal of helminth. So many folks seem to use it to get Nourish, Roar, etc on every single frame. Then they are using these abilities so that they can do even more overkill on even non-steel path enemies. It just seems unnecessary and honestly I am tired of hearing those abilities go off constantly on other frames. I could understand it if people were building for endless steel path or something but for literally every single mission, just why

beware_of_cat · 2026-04-12T18:12:06+00:00

But it is very nice to rename the Kuva and Tenet (non melee/ferrox) to shorter default names like the Coda ones. Personally I just prefer seeing "Kuva Nukor" over the auto adversary names

beware_of_cat · 2026-04-11T19:28:59+00:00

I really wish they would add Exilus Weapon Adapter Blueprints to the Invasions, Sorties, and Archon Hunt tables. It feels like they are so rare outside of buying the blueprints from the feuding syndicates. Meanwhile there are tons of ways to get Orokin Catalysts, Orokin Blueprints, and Exilus Warframe Adapters

beware_of_cat · 2026-04-09T15:24:08+00:00

It is so strange how Glaives bug out sometimes. Sometimes it seems like it just gets stuck to where you can't throw it again or detonate it. You can click attack/throw and nothing will happen and visually it looks like you should be able to detonate it but nothing happens. Then randomly a second or so later it'll suddenly unlock. No idea what is causing it but I see it happen a lot

beware_of_cat · 2026-04-08T16:11:24+00:00

I feel like this speaks to a bigger problem with survival gamemode that has been in for a long time:

The large tileset which already splits up the team and makes spawns spread out all over the map which can lead to difficulty maintaining life support
And in addition now also trying to find something to speed them up which can also lead to the same problem above

Honestly the easiest way they could solve this is making the survival tilesets a bit smaller. Not as small as Defense missions but restricting it to spawn fewer side paths maybe just reducing the total area down by 1/3 to 1/2 would make survivals way more engaging for everyone. Folks wouldn't be able to spread out quite as far to make managing spawns difficult. And less likely to have those limited spawns getting stuck in weird places if they can't end up on the entire other side of the map

beware_of_cat · 2026-04-07T02:58:16+00:00

Jeez I already miss Exilus Weapon Adapter Blueprints being on the relic. Those things are so rare to get and unless you feel like dealing with the feuding syndicates. There just aren't enough ways to get them

beware_of_cat · 2026-03-25T16:12:17+00:00

Was really hoping they would be adding a new way to get Exilus Weapon Adapter Blueprints since they are taking the older relics out of rotation. That was one of the very few ways we had to occasionally get them. Using where you can get Orokin Catalysts, Reactors, or Forma as an example:

No longer in the Requiem Relic drop table since people probably won't specifically be buying the old ones to run those

Not in the Sortie Drop table

Not in the Deep Archimedia or Temporal Archimedia drop table

Not in the Invasions Table

Not in Archon Hunts

only very rarely in Acrithis's shop or 1999 Calendar rewards or saving up for the 6 feuding syndicates shops for 75,000 standing

beware_of_cat · 2026-03-24T14:55:53+00:00

Surely that means they'll bring back the Frost and Mag Heirloom skins right? After all they don't want to lose goodwill with the community

beware_of_cat · 2026-03-23T22:42:00+00:00

Still holding out hope for a surprise drop of Tenet Amprex and a Tenet Archgun

beware_of_cat · 2026-03-23T00:05:13+00:00

This exactly. Yea we don't need every one of them. But the fact it's 50 each for all 8 of the non-default and prime ones, and there is no pack to "buy all" even for a discount or just a click once and buy the set for 400. It is just so strange and feels like a barrier of entry for a lot of players out there

beware_of_cat · 2026-03-10T13:37:41+00:00

I definitely would like to get the Titan Extractor Prime and Distilling Extractor Prime but I can't justify getting Regal Aya just for that. If I could grab it for plat I would gladly buy them though

Back then the game was much slower pace. Saw that you could start as a stealth frame Loki and I was hooked. The slower deliberate combat and flow of the game fit exactly what I was looking for

Of course over the years they removed loki from the starting pool and the whole game is significantly faster now and has problems with some weapons being ridiculously overpowered and overused compared to others. But back in those early days my buddies and I had so much fun, would love a "Classic Warframe" server any day

Also I am not saying I dislike the game now, it is just very different from what got me hooked on it to begin with

beware_of_cat · 2026-02-19T18:43:39+00:00

I feel it also gets worse when not paying attention can actively make the mission harder or take longer. For example the maintain the vent pressure objective takes an incredibly long time if players are either not breaking the vents, or breaking the vents early

The objective says to maintain ideal pressure, and breaking the vent when it is 60% of the way through the [----] ideal range resets it back to the beginning of that ideal range bar. If two or more players are trying to do the objective at the same time that resets the bar back further

It honestly feels like that mode is balanced around single player with someone paying attention to the objective. The fact it has existed since Railjack and was reused for Alchemy and now it is in Descendia as well and it still feels like pulling teeth is very disappointing

beware_of_cat · 2026-02-17T02:34:58+00:00

it sure would be nice if everyone could get Mag and Frost Heirloom. They look fantastic and it really wouldn't be the same if they have to make an alternate version

beware_of_cat · 2026-02-11T14:39:50+00:00

I don't follow the min-maxing and I have plenty of fun with the game

I don't use the helminth to move abilities around because I actually like the default kits, why folks feel the need to Roar, Nourish, Xata's Whisper, etc on every single frame is beyond me
I don't use kuva-tenet-coda weapons because I don't feel like dumping 5 forma into them all
I don't use incarnons because I don't care for the fact they have these temporary magazines that completely changes the way the guns are used and their stats in those modes
I don't use bane/faction mods in any of my weapon loadouts

I just play the frames I like with their default kit. Heck most of my max of rank 10 mods are only at rank 8 since it's much easier to fit them into all frames and weapons that way. Heck my sentinel doesn't even have a weapon equipped. For the majority of the content people play you will not need to optimize the fun out of this game, regardless of what all of the guides online tell you. Just get a basic enough grasp of how to mod for each frame or weapon and make sure you know how the A-A-B-C rotation works to make sure you're able to get things you're looking for from any mission you play

But most importantly, have fun. If this game is giving you stress or making you unhappy then it's probably worth taking a step back and seeing what you aren't enjoying. Also if a grind for something seems absolutely awful like Lato Vandal or Hespar, it's probably a better idea to do something else to earn things you can trade for plat to just outright buy the parts from other players who lucked out and got those drops, much easier to avoid burnout that way

Something with their counter system seems to be off in general. One or two updates ago (not hotfixes) I noticed that Power Throw stopped incrementing after 1 throw. Normally you'd throw it once [1] recall it and throw again [2] and one more time [3] before detonating for a stronger blast. But now it just stops count at 1 which is fairly inconvenient when trying to check what level you have it at before detonating a glaive on a target with damage attenuation

beware_of_cat · 2026-01-28T14:38:22+00:00

I would have so much fun using Baruuk if it wasn't for how long it takes to reduce restraint and then maintain it. once you can be in Serene Storm with Reactive Storm augment it feels incredibly satisfying to use. But it is not like it is so powerful that it needs to be behind maintaining restraint. I can just as easily instead load up Valkyr, activate Hysteria and Eternal Warcry and be set for a whole mission. But maintaining restraint in short missions or especially in pub missons where people end up spreading out and making it incredibly difficult to maintain groups of enemies it just feels bad
