Finding and Fighting the Wolf of Saturn Six

April 6, 2019April 5, 2019 Medic 0 Comments boss, nightwave, warframe, wolf

You know that whole Nightwave thing? The thing about a Wolf? A Wolf of Saturn Six? Yeah, there’s a guy called the Wolf and he has a bunch of buddies and we need to kill or capture them all. Occasionally. That’s the whole theme of this Nightwave event. Kinda. While we do random tasks to please Nora Night, there’s a chance that Saturn Six Prisoners might spawn. You murder these guys and capture them like, well, capture targets. But occasionally, you might get a visit from the Wolf himself. When I say “occasionally”, I mean insanely rarely. By insanely rarely,… [Continue Reading]

Death of the Cetus Wisp – The Plains of Eidolon Remaster

April 5, 2019 Medic 0 Comments plains of eidolon, remaster, warframe

Boom! Mainline update almost out of nowhere. Sure, we were told that a remaster for the Plains of Eidolon, but we weren’t really told about the details of it. Most of the changes are to the Plains themselves, improving LODs (levels of detail), adding more trees and making the Plains more friendly to K-Drives, so people bored of Fortuna and the Orb Vallis can tear shit up in the Plains instead. Conservation was added to the Plains, alongside a new little creature which I swear is a cross between the current birds and mice you already find on the Plains.… [Continue Reading]

The Profit Taker Orb. Honestly it still looks more Grineer than Corpus to me. It's simply too round.

On the Personalities of Massive Robot Spider Things

April 2, 2019March 30, 2019 Medic 0 Comments exploiter orb, lore, orb vallis, warframe

So far there are two massive, four-legged spider robot things that are active and angry in the Orb Vallis. The Profit-Taker Orb spends most of her life hanging around the Enrichment Center in the center of the Vallis while the Exploiter Orb is much more active, roaming around the Temple of Profit with a small army of Coolant Raknoids. Both of these weird spider robot things though have personalities. Very different ones. The Profit-Taker Orb’s personality doesn’t really appear until you do the four heists that are tied to her destruction. Whenever you encounter her outside of the four heist… [Continue Reading]

Ember and the Helpful Stranger

April 1, 2019March 30, 2019 Medic 0 Comments fun, hey kiddo, newbie, story, warframe

The little Ember sent her message again, knowing that it would be ignored. Her message entered the Recruitment Channel and swiftly disappeared, pushed aside by a stream of other messages all saying things she didn’t understand. “LF AXI L3” “H 4X3 NEED HARROW” “LF PROFITTAKER” “H ESO 3/4” None of it made any sense to the little Ember. She just wanted some help, but the Cephalon from the Global Channel had sent her here. Suddenly, something beeped. A communication. A private one. Another Tenno had messaged Ember directly. “Heya, do you still need help?” Ember beamed as she hastily replied.… [Continue Reading]

Small problem. This looks kinda weird on the rather nobbly and ugly Volt.

Fashionframe at Mastery Rank 26

March 29, 2019March 27, 2019 Medic 0 Comments fashionframe, warframe

The coolest people are always the people who are at, or close to, max rank. Or the people who have money to spend on cosmetics. Namely Tennogen, which costs real-world money and can’t be traded for. But really, the higher the level you are, the more likely that you’ll have better, more distinctive looks. So theoretically, someone at Mastery Rank 26 should have awesome fashion frame skills, right? Right? Wrong. The proof is right here. I’m a MR26 player, have been for about two months now, but if you looked at me, you wouldn’t know it. In fact (unless you… [Continue Reading]

The Warframe That Identifies as an Attack Helicopter

March 28, 2019March 26, 2019 Medic 0 Comments attack helicopter, hildryn, warframe

I feel so sorry for Zephyr. While her Primed self is one of the loveliest things in the game, the original air- and flying-based Warframe just doesn’t do much flying. First, there was Wukong and his cloud form. Then there was Titania, with the ability to turn into a tiny, Archwing pixie at will. And now there’s Hildryn, the brand new Warframe which identifies as an attack helicopter and can fly far better than Zephyr ever could. But Hildryn has a lot of other nice things tucked underneath those rippling, chunky muscles of hers, as well as a lot of… [Continue Reading]

Yet More Problems with Nightwave

March 27, 2019March 25, 2019 Medic 0 Comments nightwave, tedium, warframe, wolf of saturn six

I know I’ve gone on about Nightwave a lot, but it’s the current new thing in Warframe, replacing an ancient relic that has been in the game for years. Sure, Alerts weren’t ever that important aside from rare Gift of the Lotus missions and things like that, but Nightwave has a lot more… urgency to it. Nightwave comes in ‘Seasons’ or ‘Episodes’, and we are currently on the first season, the Wolf of Saturn Six. There’s a vague story behind it, that this Wolf guy has broken out of a high security prison and him and his buddies are now… [Continue Reading]

Tired of the Whiteness of the Orb Vallis

March 26, 2019March 24, 2019 Medic 0 Comments fortuna, orb vallis, warframe

The more I think about it, the more and more tired of Fortuna and the Orb Vallis I become. There’s been something bothering me lately and I can’t quite put my finger on it. I’m going to start off with the fact that I love Fortuna. I love the aesthetic of it. I love almost all the characters you meet in Fortuna, apart from Little Duck. I bloody love the music and song tracks introduced alongside Fortuna and STILL find myself humming “We All Life Together” occasionally. The custom MOAs are cool, the Warframes that have come out of Fortuna… [Continue Reading]

Fighting the Exploiter Orb

March 22, 2019March 21, 2019 Medic 0 Comments boss battle, exploiter orb, warframe

After some scanning and some fudging of numbers and some collecting of diluted thermia from a boring Mobile Defense clone, the Exploiter Orb is now available to fight. By “available to fight”, I mean “available to throw stuff at”. Yep, most of the Exploiter Orb fight consists of you throwing canisters of ‘thermia’ at a massive spider-like robot. The fight starts off with everyone entering the remains of Deck 12. Eudico and Zuud remember what happened and you sort of just wander around until someone pulls a leaver (which costs everyone 1 diluted thermia). You hear a scream and the… [Continue Reading]

Companions and Sentinels – Revenge of the Kavat

March 21, 2019March 20, 2019 Medic 0 Comments kavat, kubrow, MOA, pet, sentinel, warframe

I’ve always held the belief that Sentinels, no matter what, were better than Kavats and Kubrows, and honestly I still think they’re better than MOAs, even though MOAs combine most of the things that Sentinels and Kavats and Kubrows do. But lately, I’ve been running around with a Smeeta Kavat and I think my opinions are changing slightly. Why am I running a Smeeta Kavat rather than my normal Carrier Prime? Well, it all started with the Week 2 Nightwave challenges. Two of the elite challenges involved hour long survivals, so we went off to do an hour long Kuva… [Continue Reading]
