A First Night on the Plains

January 9, 2018January 7, 2018 Medic 0 Comments fun, plains of eidolon, silly, story, warframe

Volt seemed uncertain as the heavy Orokin doors slammed shut behind him. This was his second time out on the plains. The last time he had been here, it was day time, and he lacked the proper tools to not only fight the swarms of Grineer roaming around, but he lacked the ability to gather other resources, such as ores and gems. He wasn’t going to make that same mistake twice. Volt also planned on not making another mistake twice. Today, he was here on the Plains on his own. No more waiting for Rhino to kill everything. No more… [Continue Reading]

Ideas To Spice Up Missions

January 7, 2018January 4, 2018 Medic 0 Comments idea, ramble, random, suggestion, warframe

The Acolyte event in Warframe has ended, and the Ghouls event is slowly ending too. The basic gist of it was that the Acolytes, a bunch of edgy friends of the Stalker (last seen in the Second Dream), are roaming around and need to be killed. Each one would hide on a node somewhere on the star chart until someone stumbles across them in a mission, which helps pinpoint the Acolyte’s location. Once they’re found, people can do the mission and search the map to lure an Acolyte out of the shadows, fight them, defeat them and get some rare… [Continue Reading]

On Focus 2 and Focus 2.5

January 3, 2018January 1, 2018 Medic 0 Comments focus, warframe

When the Plains of Eidolon were released, so was something else. A complete do-over of the Focus schools, the ability trees your Space Kids use. They were reworked and changed up. Everyone got all their Focus points back to spend in the new schools. The themes of each school remain the same. Unairu is based on tankiness. Naramon focuses on death and melee. Zenurik remains the go-to for all your energy needs. Each school has a combination of passive abilities for Operators (e.g. extra armour, extra movement speed, extra energy regeneration), passive abilities for Warframes and Operators (extra armour, extra… [Continue Reading]

On Deluxe Skins and Tennogen

December 30, 2017December 28, 2017 Medic 0 Comments cosmetics, skin, warframe

In Warframe, there are four types of cosmetics – syandanas, flowing capes that sit on one’s back; armour sets which go on your Warframe’s legs, arms and chest; alternate helmets for each Warframe and Warframe skins, which change the appearance and texture of your Warframe. All these cosmetics are available in three forms – available for purchase with Platinum, the in-game currency; only available in specific bundles or Prime Access; or available for purchase via Steam through a service called Tennogen. Recently, a ton of new skins were released, often for under-appreciated characters. Nehza (the awkward result of what would… [Continue Reading]

A Bonus Unlikely Story – The Scared Excalibur

“An Equinox, an Ivara and a newbie Excalibur head to a bar!” the black and red Ash grinned as he dropped down from an unprotected vent. “Well, the other two bullet jump in, the Excalibur just walks…” “Don’t make fun of the newbie,” the equally edgy black and red Ivara tutted. “Not his fault he’s literally just escaped from Vor’s influence.” “Well, he’s only going to hold us back!” Ash’s mood dropped. “This is a spy mission after all! A Spy mission on a Grineer ship of all things. Isn’t the place for a newbie Excalibur!” Again, Ivara tutted. “We’re… [Continue Reading]

More Than Just A Bedroom

December 22, 2017 Medic 0 Comments spoilers, story, warframe

Most games tend to have some sort of winter-themed in-game event going on. Warframe isn’t most games. Rather than create a winter event (like the Conclave PvP snowball event last year), they decided to give us a few different things. The first thing is the return of the Acolytes, a bunch of kiddies in modified Warframes who are loyal to that idiot the Stalker (from the Second Dream). The second thing is an event with Ghouls, a new type of Grineer enemy on the Plains of Eidolon. This is kinda like Plague Star but with far less rewards, really just… [Continue Reading]

Some More Warframe Tips and Advice

December 18, 2017December 12, 2017 Medic 0 Comments advice, guidance, help, newbie, noob, suggestion, tips, warframe

I’ve written about tips for new Warframe players in the past, but that was more of a starter guide. There’s so many tips and little things out there for you to learn, that they don’t all fit in one article. So here’s another list of Warframe tips and tricks, this time covering information for newbies and older players alike. I mean, after a thousand hours of playing, there’s still more things to discover. Weapons Firstly, there are two codes available right now for free weapons. These can be redeemed in the Market in Warframe by clicking Redeem Code, or by… [Continue Reading]

Medic’s Favourite Video Game Songs

December 15, 2017December 12, 2017 Medic 0 Comments Binding of Isaac, league of legends, music, Skyrim, soundtrack, Team Fortress 2, warframe

I have weird tastes in music. Although I generally dislike things like pop and jazz, I’ll happily listen to a lot of different types of rock and metal music. I am a fan of Radiohead, Queens of the Stone Age, Crowded House, Linkin Park and Disturbed all at the same time. I actually saw Radiohead live when I was 11, and I reviewed their last album here. When it comes to video game music, it’s not as bad, a lot of the things I like have common themes about them. Unfortunately, I have zero musical talent nor do I have… [Continue Reading]

The Best Starter Weapons in Warframe

December 7, 2017December 4, 2017 Medic 0 Comments guide, newbie, tip, tutorial, warframe, weapon, weapon choice, weapons

There are a handful of starter weapons in Warframe. More than you might think, actually. When you play the opening tutorial, escaping from the clutches of Captain Vor and getting to your ship, you get a basic choice of weaponry, but there are also options in the Market once you’ve completed the tutorial. The first weapons you pick up are a single Primary weapon, Secondary weapon and melee weapon. These are your starter weapons, and you’ll be using them for a while, at the very least until they are level 30. Luckily, melee weapons it doesn’t really matter too much… [Continue Reading]

The skin looks more like Volt when you stick his arm rings back on though. And instead of his hammer skin, I'm using the Anpu Ki'Teer staff skin.

On Volt’s Sexy Not Sexy New Skin

December 6, 2017December 3, 2017 Medic 0 Comments cosmetics, volt, warframe

So Volt finally got to join the ranks of his fellow been-there-from-the-start Warframes in the I-have-an-extra-fancy-skin department. Kinda. Unlike Mag, Ember, Nekros, Trinity, Rhino and all that, Volt didn’t get a nice Deluxe skin. No, Volt became the third member of the Proto Skin family. Except his new skin still doesn’t fit there. The two proto skins for Excalibur and Nyx are basically assets from Digital Extremes’ game Dark Sector, redone and amplified to fit the Warframe theme. Proto Excalibur has a skin based on the protagonist Hayden Tenno, while Nyx appears as Nemesis, which I assume is one of… [Continue Reading]
