Why Warframe Shouldn’t Have an MMO-Style Market

March 6, 2020February 28, 2020 Medic 2 Comments economy, Platinum, Team Fortress 2, trading, warframe

Every time something vaguely related to trading comes up in Warframe, someone always shouts that we need an MMO-style market. Or an auction shop, or whatever you want to call it. The idea being that users just throw up what they want to sell and buyers can just click a button instantly and get their item. After all, an auction house works great in other games, doesn’t it? Surely it’ll work in Warframe and it’ll make trading so much easier! But I don’t think it will. I actually think an auction house will make trading worse. Now, that’s a rather… [Continue Reading]

Cautious Shot Is (Currently) A Worthless Mod

March 2, 2020February 29, 2020 Medic 0 Comments explosions, mod, modding, warframe

Warframe has a huge number of mods. Because of how many mods it has, it’s guaranteed that some Warframe mods will be bad. Some Warframe mods have no practical use despite sounding good on paper. Many Warframe mods have more useful variants or are simply too niche in their usage. In fact, some mods could be usable, if they didn’t cost so much. But there are plenty of mods that have the pretense of being useful when they simply are not. Today, I want to talk about one of these mods. Editor’s note: It turns out self-damage is actually going… [Continue Reading]

The Revision and Refreshing Update Everyone Has Been Waiting For

March 1, 2020February 29, 2020 Medic 0 Comments changes, update, warframe

The 139th Devstream claimed itself to be a boring update. It only had three of the normal staff and one of the developers themselves was claiming how boring it would be. Somehow though, Devstream 139 turned out to be one of the better Devstreams so far. Why? Because it contained everything that everyone has been asking for, for years. We were given a 20-ish point list of things, an agenda of what the next mainline update will be. All of it is awesome. Bug fixes, balance changes, improved data, all sorts. It’s almost everything players have been asking for. Seriously,… [Continue Reading]

Boomkong – The Joy of Wukong and Exploding Bows

February 28, 2020February 20, 2020 Medic 0 Comments bow, explosions, warframe, weapon, wukong

I’ve never been a fan of exploding weapons in Warframe. Explosive weaponry is simply too scary for the average Tenno. Because of how much damage explosive weapons do, we blow ourselves up. A lot. To the point that we leave most explosive weapons to one side. In fact, the only really popular explosive weapons were originally weapons like the Tonkor… which had next to no self-damage. Which was removed. The Exceptions to the Rule The Kuva Bramma on the other hand is quite a popular weapon. While it IS a Kuva weapon and requires killing a Lich to obtain, it’s… [Continue Reading]

A Distinct Lack of Nightwave Content

February 25, 2020February 22, 2020 Medic 0 Comments nightwave, warframe

One of the more recent patches for Warframe came with a strange piece of text. The maximum rank for Nightwave was changed from 60 to 90. But Nightwave only really goes up to rank 30, right? Rank 30, plus 30 more prestige ranks? Not quite. Those extra 30 ranks are what rank 60 was. Why did this happen? Because people did Nightwave tasks to the point that they would hit prestige rank 90. This small change points out a massive problem with Nightwave. There is not enough Nightwave content Or, at least, it doesn’t refresh regularly enough. You see, the… [Continue Reading]

Cliche And Trope-y Fashionframe

February 19, 2020February 14, 2020 Medic 0 Comments cosmetics, fashionframe, warframe

There’s a huge amount of customization in Warframe. You can change the colours of literally everything you own, from your Warframes to your guns to your swords to the dangly bits attached to your swords… All the way to things like your companions and even your massive spaceships. We have a multitude of colour palettes to choose from, not to mention skins, helmets and syandanas. But of course, even with so much to choose from, you still have people using the same old, overused schemes. I mean, just look at me, I can talk, with my everything being yellow with… [Continue Reading]

Retvik’s Ridiculous Guide to Rolling and Selling Rivens 2020 Edition

February 17, 2020February 11, 2020 Medic 0 Comments advice, guide, newbie, riven mod, rivens, suggestions, trading, warframe, warframe tips and tricks

Riven mods are strange, multifaceted mods designed by Cephalon Samodeus (an otherwise unknown Cephalon), designed to fit into a single weapon and capable of having the mod’s stats rerolled by pumping thousands upon thousands of tons of Kuva into said mods. Riven mods are easily traded and can be incredibly valuable if you get very lucky. Alternatively they can just take up space in your Mod list, eventually accumulating to the point where you have to sell them or you can’t do Sorties any more. They also have the ability to make your favourite guns even better, despite their randomness… [Continue Reading]

Kuva Liches Could Have Been the Best Companions – The Problems with Converted Liches

February 16, 2020February 10, 2020 Medic 0 Comments kuva lich, rant, suggestion, warframe

The other day, I was attacked by my active Kuva Lich, one with an Ephemera and a 56% status weapon, i.e. an insanely good Lich to have. Unfortunately, this Lich in particular was immune to Corrosive and had a Toxin-based Kuva Bramma, so every shot it did would grenade a wide area with damage that ignored shields. Being a Toxin Kuva Lich, it also had two radiation-based abilities copied straight from an Oberon’s evil twin, meaning that fighting the Lich with a squad meant everyone would die. And on top of all of that, the asshole didn’t spawn for 8… [Continue Reading]

The Very Sudden Reappearance of Primed Chamber

February 15, 2020February 14, 2020 Medic 0 Comments event, mod, rare, warframe

A long time ago, back in the distant past of Warframe, there was a mod called Primed Chamber. It is a simple mod. If you install this mod on your sniper rifle, the first shot does up to 100% extra damage. But Primed Chamber, for the longest of times, was a prized reward. Why? Because no one owned Primed Chamber. Well, I say no one. I mean very few people. Originally, only 100 copies of the mod existed. The mod was given out during an event called the Spy Drone Extermination Event. All you had to do was shoot Grineer… [Continue Reading]

Ivara Skathi Skin and Other Metallic Models

Alongside the Kuva Lich 2020 Vision update (the update didn’t really have a proper name!), we got a few new weapons in the form of Kuva weapons and variants, and we also got a deluxe skin for Ivara. It’s not that uncommon to have a deluxe skin come out not long after a primed Warframe, since generally they take longer to do – while a Prime Warframe is the same base frame with a new helmet and some pretty dangly bits (and I assume the weapons take longer because they are new models), a deluxe skin is a completely fresh… [Continue Reading]
