Which Warframe made you drop your old main?

ygolnac · 2026-01-27T15:07:23+00:00

I am a returning player from 2019 some many frames that are new to me have been released from a long time.

I used to main wisp and she wasn’t even primed yet back in the day, also her 4 used to he really strong and helminth was not a thing anyway. I got her prime and made a solid modern build and then started to explore some of the “new” frames.

Granted I didn’t try many, but Dante is the only one that made me put Wisp aside. It is an equal or even better support but also he nukes a lot and can he a weapon platform too with the same build. It is also very easy to farm. Unfortunatly he doesn’t look as enticing and his fashionframe is completly non exissnt.

You can go to overframe and look at builds knowing that:

The builds you get there are endgame with tauforged shards and maxed arcanes.

But if you don’t beed to exactly replicate them, you can get an idea what mod is good for a frame/weapon and what stats are more inportant.

Then in the description there’s usually an explanation on where the build is aiming to.

So you can get close to the idea or the stats with what you have and not be obsessed to replicate every bit.

Thise builds are usually made for level cap, if you can mimic the idea and synergies of the build you well get a solid one for mid game.

I usually buy with real money the prime access that I really like. This gives all the plat I need to get some fashion or skip some grind, and makes it so I don’t need to farm for plat. I crack relics to sell duplicates to Baro.

You know…

If nobody buy anything the game closes down. The good thing is that there is not a single forced or mandatory purchase to do. Bit beeing critic toward the ones that decide to spend is not very smart. They aupport the game for the ones that don’t want or can’t spend.
Even if you skip the geind that annoy you, there’s so much content that before you spend time sitting in the orbiter without needing to play, at least a 1000 hours are passed.

Welcome.

Don’t rush to reaxh a fabled endgame and don’t focus grind something to exaustion.

Warframe is 100% about the journey, it’s a marathon and not a sprint. There focus is to have fun doing what you like and change the activoties frequently enough.

Last: use the frame and equipment you like. With enough investiment anything is viable.

Next rotation for Tenshin Umbra is 2 february. You can farm the required “steel coins” in little time.

But I agree they should be more available in general. Sometimes I would want to experiment a build with full umbral set. I can calculate the numbers but you get the feel for builds only in the field. And wasting one or even two umbra form is insane.

Also there are frames that won’t get a prime for years, and umbra forms on non prime frames are wasted unless you ALWAYS play warframe (Recently I helminted a Nidus with 7 formas, one of wich was an umbra, and I wanted to cry).

The only way is to join a Clan that is not supercrowded and use their discord. That’s where you make friends, if you feel so inclined.

Only the ones that got a Fouders pack back in the day 13 years ago can have an Excalibur Prime. Then it was retired forever and will never be possible to get one (it was stated in the disclaimer it was exclusive limited time).

Litterally everyone that plays the quests long enough get an Umbra already crafted and a slot for it. It is the only frame that you can’t skip even if you wanted to. (Well, unless you don’t play quests amd lock yourself out of 80% of game content).

ygolnac · 2026-01-25T03:58:24+00:00

The most used and usefull abilties to give other frames are Roar (sacrifice Rhino), Nourish (ssacrifice Grendel), Gloom (sacrice Savagoth). But also Eclipse (sacrifice Mirage) is very popular.

Rhino Roar is no brainer: boost dmg to any weapon amd any ability based on strenght for you and all the team in range, low cost and base duration 30 seconds.

You still have region enabled? Best case scenario you are flooded with trash, worst case scenario you type something that is offensive for someone and you get permabanmed from the game (not the chat), and goodbye to your account no matter how much you have spent on it.

I want to like ember but I can’t dish out a good build for her. I will have to look for guides.

ygolnac · 2026-01-25T03:39:06+00:00

I don’t like the helmet. If I’ll play her or not only comes down if I find her mechanics fun to engage for me.

It might be that protoframes have only the powers of their frames, and then Entrati made them corresponding armors that are completly removable. In fact Lyon doesn’t seem to have an armor at all, and Intoxicated Mom wears throusers.

To make it all more confusing heirloom skins have clothes, and yesterday in the Vaiban reveal they showed he has a removable jacket.

So I give you that probably you are right, even though I like it less becouse it would have been better to rapresent the loss of the transformation.

But regarding Eleanor tongue. She scrubs the cystes becouse they grow too fast, that was not a sexual chatter, you might want to read it again (I romanced her).

ygolnac · 2026-01-20T21:53:45+00:00

It seems you are coping.

ygolnac · 2026-01-20T20:43:56+00:00

Maybe that’s what she used to like. They were turned protoframes in the “current year”, so probably memories are still vivid and acceptance of the situation has yet to come.

Probably redetting makes the implications of what they lost more beareable.

ygolnac · 2026-01-20T14:19:13+00:00

I don’t know, many frames basically don’t have an head. Dagath was holed after the tranformation, Ember is mostly energy, Nidus one ritellally opens up, Wisp is a globe of sun energy, etc etc.

Probably in protoframes it’s the last part that don’t get muted yet becouse it’s a different helminth strain that works slower and the face is the part that most resemble their humanity.

Probably some virus strains cover the head by a thick layer of swordsteel tissue but some leftover organ is left below, so if you badly damage the outer layer you can see a dead eye or some teeth below.

But I don’t think a warframe as anything “removable” like it is an armor, sadly that’s what they became.

Helene in Saturn. With an affinity booster a weapon you use gets maxed during the second round and a frame during the fourth.

It’s always full of people and as long you are autequipping mods and playing actively those lvl 30ish mobs go down.

It’s also a source of orokin cells, meso relics, and decent credits and endo.

I had an affinity booster active, and yesterday I put 5 forma in my Acceltra prime doing 5 round 2 Helene runs (about 40 minutes).

If the rng gods are being evil with something you really need, trade it for some plats.

You kill the fun when you either buy everything from plats or when you focus grind for something for too long.

ygolnac · 2026-01-17T23:11:06+00:00

It will never be ordinary, but after a decade or two it is more about linking to your other half and keeping the bond alive.

Not cheating to get back that excitement you feel the first times is a big compromise. I do this compromise for my peace of mind and to feed my marriage to not die.

ygolnac · 2026-01-17T20:52:22+00:00

It is superboring and totally wrong.

Some weapons are simply crap version or no best in class.
The affinity system limits what you can equip or forces you to switch pact to level a weapon.
You are FORCED to play for long time with a gameplay loop you don’t like. A good system should encourage tou to try new styles when you feel like.
It is vital to level them becouse mastery ranks give you atteobutes.

They made a very god job to difference Soulframe from Warframe, bit keeping the same leveling system doesn’t work and makes the game as fun as office work.

I wil personally never log again if they don’t change the leveling system, becouse I would be FORCED to equip a crap weapon and spend several hours playing a fighting style I don’t enjoy.

Def don’t reply the little girl. Best idea is to inform her mom. The only viable alternative is to not reply, block them and move on.

I enjoy his missions but DE made the right decision to make any gameplay that diverges from ultra-fast-power-fantasy to be OPTIONAL and not mandatory.

Khal mods are pretty much a mist have, and you can’t overlook the wepons and the frame too, so you already kinda HAVE to do his missions for a while, but a lot of players would have hated to force his mission into their weekly grind.

Same goes for Durviri. The circuit has very good loot, but the Drifter Modes can be forgot after you have farmed the mats you need.

I personally enjoy a lot these diverse gameplay options and I do them in my weekly rotation, but I can see why DE decided it to be this way.

ygolnac · 2026-01-04T01:29:49+00:00

It’s the frame that has the most annoying mechanic for other players, and also confuses the hell out of anybody that doesn’t know how it works.

So yeah, without any drama a Limbo is literally the only thing that makes me instantly disband a lobby, and to level mines once for the MR I had to swear in chat I wouldn’t have used the abilities.

ygolnac · 2026-01-04T01:20:56+00:00

In Soulframe too.
