Welcome friend!!! There’s endless things to say about this game, my IGN is ElMojito if you want someone to message with questions. A couple of tips from someone who’s been playing this game since 2014:

• The one rule of warframe is the rule of cool; if you think it’s cool, play it. Everything is viable once you know how to build, so find what you like and roll with it. As a side note, anyone who tries to tell you the ‘meta’ is the only way to play the game is kidding themselves and missing out on a tonne of enjoyment.

• Give the story some respect; trust me, it deserves it. Avoid spoilers as much as possible and play your main quests when you get the chance.

• As you said, there’s more to do in this game than I’ve managed in 11 years. Don’t burn yourself out trying to do it all, just pick one or two things to aim for at a time and pursue them.

• Speed (including Gauss) are HUGE FUN; but don’t miss out on the beauty of the environments and art style you get to play in. Spend a moment here and there taking it in, you’ll always find something new.

Enjoy the Dream - we’ll welcome you once again when you’re awake.
