The Sudden Very Obvious Empyrean Meta

It’s only been like a week, and already a meta has evolved in Railjack missions. There’s literally no way around it though, due to the fact that each Empyrean mission is time-consuming and very hectic, even if you have a full crew of MR 27-28 players. With so much going on, you need everyone to do their tasks and do them well. Luckily though, it’s very easy to arrange a group into their respective roles. From what I’ve seen so far, there’s four main roles. One person focuses on flying; one person rushes around repairing things and occasionally shoots things… [Continue Reading]

Tips for Building A Railjack

The Rising Tides update comes with the quest to build your Railjack, but this quest isn’t easy. Not because of the high level enemies (most of them are level 30ish), the sudden bloom of Sentients (that spawn at random) or the time needed between component builds. No, the hardest thing, for a non-veteran player, is the cost and resources. These resources can be very taxing, even for older players. So here are some tips on how to get your resources more efficiently. Bring a Smeeta Kavat wherever you go Smeeta Kavats have the chance to double your resources. Even if… [Continue Reading]

SPACESHIPS! Retvik’s First Impressions on Empyrean

I missed the initial release. I’ll admit that. It happened at like 5am when I was fast asleep, tucked up in bed and dreaming of, well, not space ninjas. But as soon as I could get to my computer (after a Windows update or two, typically), I went and installed the 2.5GB update and went to see what was going on. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately?) this happened at about 3:30pm my time, meaning I’d missed a lot of the initial rush and the rest of my clan jumping in. Sooo, Empyrean. The thing that comes after Rising Tides. The ability… [Continue Reading]

The Best Butts in Warframe

With the recent release of Wisp, the butt has suddenly become a very well-talked about topic in Warframe. There’s so much high quality booty in Warframe that you can’t deny not thinking about it. But the question is, who has the best butt of them all? Really, that depends on your personal preferences. Some people like normal butts, some people like small butts, some people like really big, in your face butts. But luckily, Warframe has enough nice ass for everyone. Seriously, there really is a thing for everyone. If you want female butts, then the biggest and plumpest by… [Continue Reading]

Finely Balancing Helping Newbies in Warframe

The other day, while doing random fissures with a clan mate, they asked how I’m still playing this game when I’m MR27 and other clan mates are already MR28. I kinda shrugged and didn’t give them a whole answer. Often the case is that there’s always something little to farm, like new Primed gear, or earning Focus, or things like that. But the one thing I neglected to mention is that I mostly just like helping random players, whether it’s accompanying someone as they take down a particularly annoying Lich or helping someone find Cephalon fragments on Mars. It’s a… [Continue Reading]

On Re-Working Eximus Units

The idea of bigger, more powerful enemies scattered among normal mooks and baddies is a great idea. They give you something different to fight while also making you prioritize things. But Eximus units in Warframe fucking suck. Eximus units are currently just all round annoying. There is nothing particularly interesting about them, they don’t relay any important information and, as threatening as they are, they tend to die as quickly as anything else. Meanwhile, there are other powerful units that actually feel somewhat rewarding to fight against, like the Nox, which can still be shot to death but can be… [Continue Reading]

On Trying To Make A Super Noobie Modding Guide

It sounds like a rather ‘meta’ move to write an article discussing the writing of another article which I haven’t finished and published yet, but I feel like there’s something wrong here. Something I can’t quite comprehend. And maybe if I write an article about how I can’t write an article, I’ll get it off my chest or something and will finally be able to write said article. Anyway, this article is about a modding guide I wanted to make. The idea was to make as simple a modding guide as possible for Warframe, so that newbies aren’t reaching Ceres… [Continue Reading]

The Weapon Exilus Adapter

The Old Blood came out with many strange things, but one of the strangest things is the Weapon Exilus Adapter, a new item that allows you to unlock a new slot that has appeared on all primary and secondary weapons, just like the Warframe Exilus Adapter. Now, for Warframes, the Exilus Adapter is there for utility mods only. This is where you put mods like Rush (for sprint speed), the hacking and loot radar mods, or things like increased bullet jump or reduced friction. In theory, at least, none of these mods are supposed to do any damage, as they’re… [Continue Reading]

The Ember Rework from Someone Who Hasn’t Played With the Ember Rework Yet

That title up there is a pretty weird one, isn’t it? How can I sit here and judge a rework for Ember when I haven’t even really played Ember since said rework? I’ve judged Ember in the past (especially since she was one of the earlier Primed frames I built) but I’ve never claimed to main Ember or really play her in any meaningful way. That being said, I have a clan mate who always liked Ember and has a very nice magenta and gold colour scheme for her, matching all the other female magenta and gold-coloured Warframe Articulars in… [Continue Reading]

Rising Tides? More Like Waiting Tides!

After an utterly chaotic 133rd Devstream in which only two people showed up and one of the developers was drifting back and forth between his own stream and the main stream, the Rising Tides update hit unexpectedly on late Friday night, requiring a huge amount of farming and a huge amount of waiting to get your personal interplanetary battleship built and ready to fly. Assuming you don’t rush the Dry Dock, it’s a good day’s worth to build the Dry Dock, then two hours to deal with the research for the Ship Cephalon that you then need to replicate the… [Continue Reading]
