The Easy Fortuna and Deimos Resource Farms

January 27, 2022January 22, 2022 Medic 0 Comments deimos, fortuna, open world, warframe

With each Open World in Warframe, we get a lot of resources that aren’t really available anywhere else. Most open world resources also have an annoying habit of being ingredients for various blueprints too, meaning you need to keep them in stock. Some of these resources are also needed for leveling up various syndicates and groups too. However, the way to gain these resources comes from two specific places: mining and fishing. They are so sloooow. Mining and fishing both can eat up a lot of time, if you do them normally. Moving to each little gem or mineral deposit,… [Continue Reading]

Fortuna Bounties and Ignoring the Orb Vallis

January 25, 2022January 20, 2022 Medic 0 Comments bounties, corpus, fortuna, open world, orb vallis

In order to level up with Fortuna, you need to do a lot of bounties. Just like Cetus, Fortuna’s boss Eudico directs us through various stages of a bounty, either sabotaging the Corpus or saving their own. It’s all very standard stuff, and the missions themselves are pretty easy. If anything, the hardest tasks are the assassination ones simply due to a lack of enemies. However, there’s another big problem with Fortuna bounties. Only the centre of the Orb Vallis exists apparently. If you grab a bounty from Eudico, all of the tasks will be in the same 2-3 areas.… [Continue Reading]

These New Isolation Vault Bounties Are Miserable

November 30, 2020November 24, 2020 Medic 0 Comments bounty, deimos, deimos arcana, heart of deimos, infested, open world, warframe

I thought I’d be happy to see more Deimos content, but it turns out I’m wrong. Yes, we got new bounties. However, these bounties are insanely tedious, not just to do, but to access as well! Like, who thought this was a good idea? Ugh, this is going to be a slog. Just like doing the actual bounties. To access a new bounty, you need to do its Isolation Vault. These new bounties are located in the underground Isolation Vaults. But to get to them, you need to do the related Isolation Vault bounty. So you’ve got to rush around… [Continue Reading]

Dark Spooky Forest Week: ARK Survival Evolved

November 2, 2020November 2, 2020 aabicus 0 Comments ark survival evolved, dinosaurs, open world, review, survival

I had the worst concievable opening experience with ARK Survival Evolved. I was grumpy at unrelated real-life things, so when my boyfriend created a private server and insisted I give the game a fair shake, I was hypercritical about not being able to instantly figure out how anything worked. How do I build a campfire? Why is it different how you gather wood from trees vs berries from bushes? Why’s it so bloody dark at night that I can’t see a damn thing? This game sucks! Flashforward two years later, and I have what feels like a lifetime of stories… [Continue Reading]

Mother, the leader of the Entrati family.

The Token Standing System of the Entrati

September 3, 2020August 31, 2020 Medic 0 Comments entrati, heart of deimos, open world, standing, syndicate, waframe

The Entrati family are the syndicate system of the Heart of Deimos. They fulfill the same role as Solaris United and Cetus. Basically, all your fishing, all your floofs, all your items come from them. And, of course, there’s a family figure there to give you guidance and bounties. However, while the Entrati do use the syndicate system of leveling up, they do so somewhat differently. Everything is done with fancy tokens. When you do a bounty for Mother, you don’t get straight up standing. You get a bunch of Mother Tokens. You can then trade the Mother Tokens in… [Continue Reading]

The red tint is especially bad in any underground areas.

The Cambion Drift – Tripping Over Red, Brown, Red and More Red

August 28, 2020August 27, 2020 Medic 0 Comments cambion drift, heart of deimos, open world, update, warframe

The Cambion Drift is the third big open space in Warframe. We started off with a Grineer-plagued brown Plains of Eidolon. Then we moved on to the Corpus-filled, white-glare Orb Vallis. And now we have the Cambion Drift, a hellish landscape flooded with Infested and lots and lots of red. Seriously, it’s so red. While the Orb Vallis is mostly large amounts of white and grey with the odd speckling of blue, the Cambion Drift looks like an open wound. I’m not saying it’s bad, I’m saying it’s all very red. The only not-red things are all brown. There’s only… [Continue Reading]

5 Reasons Why I Don’t Think We Should Have More Open Worlds in Warframe

May 31, 2020May 25, 2020 Medic 0 Comments fortuna, open world, orb vallis, plains of eidolon, warframe

Last week’s Nightwave task included doing 5 different bounties in the Orb Vallis. At minimum, this meant doing the 5 bounties Eudico offers, although the Profit Taker heists also count. While the bounties aren’t particularly hard, they are… incredibly boring and simple. I somewhat mindlessly worked my way through the Nightwave task and then just moved on. Despite being a cool place to visit, I had little reason to stick around. And in all honesty, the same applies to the Plains of Eidolon. While these two areas are cool, I really don’t think we need any more. We’ll probably end… [Continue Reading]

Thoughts on an Infested Open World Area

January 30, 2019January 29, 2019 Medic 0 Comments fortuna, infested, lore, open world, plains of eidolon, warframe

When you look at the Plains of Eidolon and the Orb Vallis, one can’t help and think “what’s next?” Logically, if you look at what the Plains of Eidolon and the Orb Vallis are themed around, you’d probably think that an Infested-themed open world area would come next. But will it? I’m not so sure. I mean, it makes sense that an Infested open world would come next. After all, we have a Corpus area and a Grineer area, and the Infested are the other major faction. The other factions, the Orokin and the Sentients, tend to command everyone else… [Continue Reading]

Hyped up for the Plains of Eidolon

September 5, 2017September 23, 2017 Medic 0 Comments open world, upcoming update, warframe

Digital Extremes, the developers of Warframe, blew the entire community’s minds when they revealed the Plains of Eidolon at Tennocon 2017. Everyone was sitting there expecting an Excalibur Umbra reveal and it turned out that Umbra was just a little thing tacked on to something amazing. A quest that’s supposedly coming after this amazing thing. A thing that I kinda didn’t really write much about, since the gameplay video really said it all, but since time’s passed and we’ve got some new details, it’s worth looking back and getting a little hyped about. The Plains of Eidolon have been advertised… [Continue Reading]

Holy fucking Shit – TennoCon 2017

July 9, 2017August 8, 2017 Medic 0 Comments event, excalibur, hype, open world, warframe

So July 8th 2017 was the date of the second TennoCon, basically a Warframe convention hosted in London, Ontario, Canada, where Digital Extremes do tons of cool Warframe stuff. Like last year, they ended the convention with a live, streamed section where they talk to the audience, answer questions and reveal upcoming stuff. This stuff included things like the next Primed Warframe, which will be Hydroid Prime (which looks pretty neat); the next Warframe to be released, a currently unnamed ‘Glass’ Warframe with an exalted weapon and shapeshifting abilities; and a set of new Tennogen (i.e. Steam store) items, including… [Continue Reading]
