How I’d Improve Nightwave

August 18, 2023August 7, 2023 Medic 0 Comments nightwave, warframe

Nightwave is Warframe’s equivalent of a season pass. Do each week’s challenges and earn standing towards your next rank. It’s not the same as a normal season pass though, as it is completely free and has no ‘premium track’ on it. Whether you’re MR0 or MR33, whether you’ve spent hundreds or nothing at all on Warframe, you can jump into Nightwave, do some missions and get rewarded. However, there are some things that we could have to improve Nightwave. Here’s how I’d do it. More Warframe and Weapon slots We do get some very nice freebies in Nightwave’s rewards, but… [Continue Reading]

Nora’s Choice Nightwave is Fine

April 4, 2023March 20, 2023 Medic 0 Comments nightwave, warframe

In Warframe, we have a system called Nightwave. Really, it’s a season pass. You do these chores, you level up and get stuff. Not always good stuff, sometimes the rewards are kinda crap, but that’s the basic pattern. It keeps people coming back. I’ll be honest, the rewards aren’t always amazing. In fact, some rewards from past Nightwave events have been somewhat mediocre. But as you go along and level up, the rewards do definitely get better, and give out rare resources like Umbral Forma. Tasks of Many Flavors To be able to progress in Nightwave, you have to do… [Continue Reading]

Do You Remember When Nightwave had Story?

September 6, 2022August 31, 2022 Medic 0 Comments glassmaker, nightwave, warframe, wolf of saturn six

Does anyone remember when Nightwave first came out? We got a little diorama where we see the big bad wolf escaping from prison, setting up the premise of a story? I’ll be honest, I’d not be surprised if you didn’t remember, because Series 1, the Wolf of Saturn Six, came out in early 2019. A good three years ago. Since then, we’ve had two other stories and… that’s kinda it. Since Glassmaker ended in January of 2021, it’s been nothing but intermissions. Let’s quickly recap on these tales. So yeah, I don’t blame you for forgetting the old stories. They… [Continue Reading]

Yet Another Intermission – Nightwave Nora’s Mix Volume 1

March 27, 2022March 20, 2022 Medic 0 Comments intermission, nightwave, nora's mix vol. 1, warframe

Well, Nightwave is back. Again. After what felt like an eternity of Intermission 2, we do have a new Nightwave to play, with both more rewards and more chores to complete. This Nightwave season though, there is no plot or anything. Named ‘Nora’s Mix Vol.1’, it’s technically a new Nightwave. But we’ve seen all of this before. It’s just another Intermission. Sure, this time it’s not called an intermission, but it certainly does act exactly like one. We have the standard 150 creds at the start, alongside a bunch of useful things early on, and the actual new stuff at… [Continue Reading]

Warframe’s Nightwave and Intermission-iness

August 4, 2021August 5, 2021 Medic 0 Comments nightwave, season pass, warframe

On the 28th of July, Nightwave Intermission 3 ended. It had been going since early February, filling nearly half a year. A good 5 months or so of randomly chosen daily and weekly tasks. When it did finally end, there were a lot of mixed emotions about Nightwave. Was it good? Was it bad? Who really knows. Editor’s note: Intermission 4, Nora’s Choice, started on the day this was published. But frankly all of this article applies equally to Nightwave 3 and 4. It was all mostly filler One thing that we know for certain though is that Nightwave Intermission… [Continue Reading]

Prestige Nightwave Levels Are So Boring

May 31, 2021May 25, 2021 Medic 0 Comments nightwave

Nightwave seems cool at first. You do things, get points and get rewards. At level 30, you get something REALLY cool. After that though? Well… you get prestige levels. These prestige levels reward 15 Nightwave credits for each one you reach and that’s about it. Actually, sometimes you don’t even get the credits. In previous Nightwaves, people have hit Prestige levels 60, 90 and 120 and ended up stuck. But the rewards for even getting that far are pretty damn mediocre. Why do people keep on going after hitting level 30, and how can we make it better? All you… [Continue Reading]

I’d Like A Nightwave Story About Someone Who Isn’t An Ass

February 10, 2021February 3, 2021 Medic 0 Comments nightwave, ramble, warframe

Nightwave’s original premise was quite simple. Over the course of a season or episode, we’d be told a story. As the story went along, we’d learn more clues or get different rewards. However, two things happened as we went along. Firstly, the story complexity increased over time. Glassmaker’s story involved us finding clues, while the Wolf just had us, well, fighting him. The second thing is that things always got worse as time went on. Not only did these episodes all drag on, but they all kinda ended on a low note. Wolf of Saturn Six ended with escaped prisoners… [Continue Reading]

Nightwave Intermission 3 is here! How long will it last?

February 3, 2021February 2, 2021 Medic 0 Comments intermission, nightwave, warframe

After the slog that was Glassmaker finally ended, we all breathed a sigh of relief. Glassmaker, while being a good idea on the surface, dragged on and consisted of the most annoying content to date. When it finally left at the end of January 2021, Glassmaker had been around for 8 months! While we’re all sick of Nightwave, we still need a way to get Nitain Extract, alternate helmets and Vauban parts. So now we have Nightwave Intermission 3. No story, just tasks. There’s no story behind this intermission. Just like previous intermissions, there’s still a reward path, but no… [Continue Reading]

Glassmaker’s Conclusion isn’t That Satisfactory

October 29, 2020October 28, 2020 Medic 0 Comments glassmaker, glassmaker finale, nightwave, nihil, nora night, warframe

The last part of Glassmaker is finally out, and, well, it’s all over, I guess. We get to finally confront Nihil and kick his ass. Except, well, we don’t. After doing yet another dumb clue scene, we can fight our final boss. Of course, we have to spend ages scanning a room for clues first. And then we have to do a jumping puzzle based on those clues. Then you can fight the boss. Yet again, being a Tenno in a Warframe doesn’t matter. The fight against Nihil is simple. You dodge the crystals he shoots from his head, pick… [Continue Reading]

Glassmaker’s Third Act is Out and Tells You Nothing

July 10, 2020July 9, 2020 Medic 0 Comments act 2, act 3, glassmaker, nightwave, series 3, warframe

Alongside the Steel Path, the third act of Nightwave Series 3 is available to play. You can now wander through a third crime scene, looking for clues. This time round, the clues are in even more annoying places, particularly the one about feelings. But if you look around for the objects that aren’t normally there and have a little glow to them, they are easily found. Just need some patience. Anyway, new act, new story? Kinda. This time round, a lone Grineer soldier was turned to glass. Unlike the previous ones though, there was a lack of fighting. This Grineer… [Continue Reading]
