Warframe goes open world, gets social hub, day/night cycle, flying, more

The reveal to the open world space was super good, the reaction from the fans was great.
Completely different from the muted reactions on E3.

Pretty easy. Bunch of warframes come off of bosses and have three parts (helmet, chassis, systems), you build them for resources and non-premium currency (credits), then buy the blueprint from the market for credits. Some warframes come from quests, some are farmed in missions, and some come from Clan research. Weapons generally come from blueprints from the market for credits or from Clan research.
Prime stuff comes out of a separate system of consumable items called Relics. Do a mission, crack the relic open, get a prime part.
It's got an extremely healthy PC community. PS4 also isn't too bad. I can't speak to the state of the Xbox one.
It amuses me that the audience reaction to a giant godzilla-monster rising out of the lake is roughly the same as the audience reaction to the character shooting shooting an eagle.
Every weapon and warframe in the market can be crafted by buying its blueprint and finding the materials yourself. Buying stuff with platinum is just a shortcut.

I wish I could reset my warframe account seems like a whole new world since I last joined in. With this It'll just get worse.

Hmm thanks for this, well might just hop on the PC version then. Will wait and see how things span out before I get to hype. I played it before some years back and thought it was really repetitive and grindy. Wouldn't mind trying again if this changes things.

Easy. Play the game and if you enjoy it, pay real money for additional weapon and warframe inventory slots when you need them. You can even trade players in-game items for platinum or for the items you'd pay for with platinum.
I've picked up platinum packs often over the years, to support the game and that's almost always gone towards additional inventory slots and cosmetics.
I stopped playimg about a month ago, but ahe was a DPS beast with a properly modded molecular prime. So assume she still is.
Mother of God this is awesome if it's executed properly (it will I'm sure of it knowing the developers). This is literally what I wanted from destiny.

Tried this game when I just got my Xbox one but never really put any time into it. I think I need to go back to it, from what I've seen the support for this game is godlike on the developers' end. I'll do what I can to support developers that are like that.

So apparently you can get some bonus stuff with PS Plus but you cannot transfer a PS4 account to PC. So should I play on PS4 or PC?
Pretty easy, but some stuff gets re-released on a schedule.
It takes about a full year for every single piece of equipment to come back for a while.

That's your call. PC gets the updates first and fastest because they don't go through the console certification and PC is the primary platform, but they also have to go through bugfixes more often. Either choice is fine, I'd say.

The birth of a meme > new gameplay additions
PC GAF clan isn't too active, though the PC community itself is large. PS4 clan appears to be very active, though I don't play on PS4. PC gets updates first and has better performance in general, but also encounters the brunt of the bugs first. Hotfixes do tend to come out fast for the PC version though.

Now im interested, always dug the combat and look, hated the structure
I played Warframe on PC shortly after release then again on PS4. Really enjoyed the game both times but only played 3 to 5 months each before moving to another game.
I really like what they are doing here and don't believe I'll be able to pass up giving this game another try. I just have to decide on going back to the PC or PS4 version.

They have a small PVP dedicated team!
In fact you can see many Conclave changes in and around, even if not as many gamemodes (as those draw resources from other parts).Man, I just tweeted that to Steve, but as someone who discovered the game in 2013 and founded it, I can't believe of where it is now. We gained full melee, we gained Relays, a ship, many different tilesets, they keep reworking stuff and trying to spice things up (even if not, unfortunately, as fast and wide as one would wish).
And now they come here and bang. Open world. Outta fucking nowhere. These people work their insides out to give us the updates (staying an unearthly number of hours a year at office to deliver those) and I am really, really proud of how this game turned out to be.
Now if you excuse me, I'll try to sleep despit the hype. Hype. Hypeeeeeeeeeeee.

Warmframe was AMAZING fun when I played pretty hot for a while. The problem I have with the game is how much of a jump end-game is from everything else. I legit have no idea how to get any stronger because the weapon augment system and weakness element stuff is nuts.

This game is why Destiny died for me, they actually took the time to improve the game, it's a great example for games as service, but it's misleading because I doubt 90% of the developers will put in the work to make the games progress.
I have no expectation that Bungie will come up with a improvement of Destiny like warframe got. That would require them not getting precious.

Definitely the update that'll get me back into Warframe.. Time to dust off my Mag prime.
I love Warframe and played the hell out of it when I first got my PS4 but eventually got tired of waiting for endless in-game timers and RNG grinding. However the support for this game is absolutely phenomenal and it clearly shows how dedicated and passionate the developers are. If there was a way to transfer PS4 save data to PC i'd gladly jump back in, but alas...

Warframe and Anthem doing better jobs at being what Destiny should have been lmao

I haven't played this in at least a year; looks like it's time to jump back in. This demo was running on PC right? Are there any enhancements on the Pro?

Is getting prime versions worth the grind or money? I might want to get Loki Prime parts
How's 2018/9?

The former sure, but you're judging the latter from a five minute demo?

Mix up former and latter?
Also, regardless, can't really compare an expansion that hasn't been released to two games that haven't been released.
Dunno where you got that idea from.
Whoa there. Maybe we can wait until both those games out to do comparisons about what one game does right or wrong versus another??

Ah... My bad. Thought he was comparing this Warframe expansion to Anthem and Destiny.

Once I get a new gpu, I'll jump back in on PC. If they allowed for PC->PS4 account transfer again, with Pro support, I'll be playing on PS4 everyday.

Game was so odd when it first came out, but they way it has developed and grown since then is astonishing. I have brief moments when I play the hell out of this game, then stop. But I always enjoy my time with it. This new update looks nuts, and I cannot wait to experience it all.

Holy crap. That's pretty insane.
Used to be a pretty bare bones, mindless horde-mode fest, now they're adding this? Good job.

They've mentioned that this likely won't happen again, as the versions have gotten too divergent and also they have to strike up deals with Sony in order to allow the account transfer.
Was buffed a bit not too long ago too.

That's a crazy upgrade. I loved the original but got tired of the repetitive enemies. I really hope they add enemy variety to the mix

I played this like 4 years ago for a bit and this got me to reinstall. Is there a date on this open world stuff?
