Prime Access is Too Expensive

March 11, 2018March 9, 2018 Medic 0 Comments ember, frost, loki, prime access, rant, warframe

I don’t normally have a lot of major complaints about Warframe, but with the current Unvaulting of Frost, Loki and Ember Prime, I feel this needs to be said. Prime Access is way too fucking expensive. As it stands right now, there are four Prime Access packs available. The first three contain a Primed Warframe, a couple of Primed weapons and a handful of Primed Accessories, the accessories only being available from these Prime Access packs. You also get 90 day boosters of some sort and a handful of Platinum to spend on what you want. The last pack contains… [Continue Reading]

Arcanes in Warframe – Much Easier to Access

March 7, 2018March 7, 2018 Medic 2 Comments arcane, arcanes, eidolon, trials, warframe

As well as bringing the end of Trials, the most recent update changed how Arcanes work. Arcanes were originally items rewarded by players for completing a trial, and you could only get one per trial per day (one for the Law of Retribution, one for the Jordas Verdict and one for nightmare variants). The only way you could use them was to attach them to a cosmetic of some sort, either a Warframe helmet or a Syandana. This is, thankfully, no longer the case! Now, the only way to get an Arcane is to kill or capture an Eidolon. Each… [Continue Reading]

The Naru Syandana and Other Tennogen Items

February 25, 2018February 21, 2018 Medic 0 Comments cosmetics, shiny, warframe, wings

So after Christmas, I caved and bought myself a Tennogen item. The Naru Syandana is a pair of wings based on the Naberu Halloween-exclusive cosmetic. It cost €5.99, was modeled and textured by members of the community and can be equipped on any Warframe. The wings lower themselves when walking, running and aiming and open up while bullet jumping or whenever you visit a public place like a relay or Cetus. The price seems a little bit high, but the people who made the item need to get paid, you know? Tennogen items are voted on via the Steam Workshop… [Continue Reading]

Razorback Armadas and Balor Fomorians – Recurring Tactical Alerts and How to Do Them

February 22, 2018February 21, 2018 Medic 0 Comments advice, event, fomorian, newbie, razorback, tips, warframe

All those invasions you do? They do something. They help the Grineer and the Corpus fund their massive projects. Yes, us Tenno have defeated the Balor Fomorians a dozen times. Yes, us Tenno have destroyed the Razorback Armada a dozen times. Yet we keep on helping them, thus they keep on building the funds to restart these projects and have to fight them again. It’s all our fault really, but dag nabbit, we NEED those Detonite Injectors and Fieldrons! So how do we do these missions? It’s not always obvious. The Lotus pops by, drops an item in our inventory… [Continue Reading]

Teralysts, Gantulysts and Hydrolysts, oh my!

February 21, 2018February 25, 2018 Medic 0 Comments boss battle, eidolon, raid, ramble, sentient, warframe

The Shrine of the Eidolon update brought with it some new Eidolon related things, as one might expect. Honestly it would be pretty weird for an update named after a thing to not contain said thing. But yes, as well as the Teralyst, you can now fight two new Eidolons, both of which are fucking huge and way bigger than the Teralyst. But at the same time they both kinda just look like the Teralyst with some small changes. If you’re still here, I’ll assume you’ve completed the War Within. Because you need your dumb space kid. Teralysts, Gantulysts, Hydrolysts… [Continue Reading]

Specters ARE Useful!

February 20, 2018February 16, 2018 Medic 0 Comments advice, specters, tips, warframe, warframe newbie, warframe tips and tricks

So Specters, NPC clones you can make of your Warframes to assist you in missions, they got buffed. Big time. They can now do a much wider range of things, like using abilities! The 22.10 Warframe update hugely increased the AI of Warframe specters so that they can both use weapons better and use their actual Warframe abilities. That means that if you use one in a mission, it will actually do things! Last time I talked about Specters, they weren’t useful at all. In fact, I had only built a set of Warframe Specters to get past a planetary… [Continue Reading]

The Sneak Thief of Warframe

February 15, 2018 Medic 0 Comments ivara, stealth, warframe

Anyone who’s played Skyrim knows that the cheesiest way to play is to be a Stealth Archer. You maximize your Stealth and Archery skills and pick off enemies one at a time, with the dumb AI never really working out what’s going on. It’s a slow process, inching along and clearing everything out one by one. That sort of playstyle doesn’t work in Warframe though, does it? Well, kinda. Ivara is probably the closest thing to a typical Skyrim stealth character, and is by far the stealthiest Warframe in the game. While fellow stealth users Loki, Ash and Octavia can… [Continue Reading]

On Trials and Giving Veteran Warframe Players Something To Do

February 14, 2018February 11, 2018 Medic 0 Comments raid, rant, trials, warframe

The other day I wrote an article talking about how Trials in Warframe sucked, but they shouldn’t be removed. The thing is, I didn’t really explain in detail why the two Trials, the Law of Retribution and the Jordas Verdict, both sucked. And at the same time, I didn’t really explain why people do them, despite their suckiness. There are two problems here: the tedium involved in Trials, and the lack of things for veteran players to do. Trials, these days, are one of the small number of things veterans can do on a regular basis. There’s Trials, Sorties, Eidolon… [Continue Reading]

Electricity breath looks okay, but eh, it doesn't do anything, and electricity just isn't as strong as fire or cold when it comes to Chroma.

Not At All Dragon-y in any Way

February 11, 2018February 9, 2018 Medic 0 Comments chroma, cosmetics, dragon, rant, warframe

Chroma is not a dragon. He’s a weird, ugly thing that wears the skin of a ‘dragon’ made out of the same stuff Sentients are made out of. He’s a dragon only in the loosest sense of the word. Chroma is a weird, ugly mess of a Warframe and I don’t understand him. Of course, what I don’t understand, I don’t like. Looks-wise, Chroma is horrible. He’s lumpy and ugly. He doesn’t have wings. He has lumps on his back where wings are supposed to go. He has a fat spade of a tail. He looks wrinkly and horrible. Luckily,… [Continue Reading]

A ‘Temporary’ End to Warframe Trials

February 9, 2018February 8, 2018 Medic 0 Comments raid, trial, warframe

Trials in Warframe are shit. Yeah, you can take up to 8 players into a trial, but the two trials on offer, the Law of Retribution and the Jordas Verdict, are both tedious lumps of puzzles tied together with awkward, confusing gameplay and bugs. They are awkward and glitchy and hard to get into and almost impossible to do with randoms. You can’t learn a Trial by just playing them, you can’t just jump in and play. It’s basically a guessing game as to what’s going on, and Trials are heavily tied to a strict meta unless you are super… [Continue Reading]
