Looks so good, haven't played since around 2015, but I think I'll jump back in for this!

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

I played literally hundreds of hours of Warframe on PS4. When you say many maps go under 30FPS (with sufficient action), I have no idea what you're talking about. Yes, variable frame rate, but people are exaggerating just how variable.
But for sure, PC is better for Warframe.
Edit - It's been months since I've played PS4. I searched the forums and people do have some optimization complaints that DE is working on. But during the period I played, things were damn groovy.

Haven't played in years but looks like I'll be jumping back in! How my main man Rhino doing? I love his skill set!

Wasn't it the first game announced for XB360 during the Xenon code name stage?
There is no hyperbole on my part. I used to play Warframe on PC 3 years ago, tested it on PS4 since last week. It's not very good framerate wise, and I'm not even at the point of doing the most extreme shit I was doing on PC endgame. It's a problem widely known, and as I sayed, perhaps it's better on the PRO.
But anyway, just wanted to say that the game in its current state is not a good argument on "why Destiny 2 is not 60FPS on console when Warframe does it."

This seems like something you would do with a sequel, amazing that they are supporting warframe so much that it's evolved into something huge

Tough as ever. His iron skin absorbs damage for a short period of time and adds it to the total health of his skin, so he's even beastlier. Also some really good ability augment mods.

I remember farming the hardest corpus defense and survivals back then to do the formas... we'd take turns, 3 level 1 frames, 1 mag... easy xp!
Still amazing, still great. His prime is unvaulted right now if you're interested.
Yeah I believe Dark Sector was one of the first "next gen" games announced for the PS3/360 era. It also looked far more like what Warframe is now than what was released which was some kind of ok stealth action game with mutants. It's amazing how long and dedicated they have been to bringing this vision to life and one of the reason I bought a founders pack all those years ago when Warframe was just starting up.

Have they added a way to test guns/weapons/frames yet before you buy them? That's like the best feature ever in Planetside 2.

One of the best games gets even better. Performance on PS4 in the hub areas with lots of other players is brutal, though. I wonder how this will run.
Much respect tenno.
100?
Much respect tenno.
But that's what I like about the designs. Their so unique.
This update is really amazing for a 4 year old game, its going from strength to strength. I've been in and out of it since closed beta when I hated it, to now I'm liking it a lot.
Physx is one big difference which I personally could not give up the PC version for. On Nvidia cards you can have what seems thousand of dynamic particles flying around at any one time. Just watch any vid from a large Warframe Youtuber. Of course better frame rates, better graphics in general. Updates first.
It can, but only in certain conditions that are pretty rare. Go an infestation tileset and get at least 3 Nidus on your team and build enough stacks for them to cast their 4. The sheer number of particles from the exploding maggots, the attacks and dissolving bodies of dead infested, the particle effects from the environment iself, plus what ever weapons the tenno are equipped with can bring it down into the twenties.
Piqued my interest enough to jump back in, and my dang account is suspended 
Submitted a support ticket, but man that is a pain in the ass. Looks like I had a weak password on there, and last time I played they didn't have 2-factor available, so who knows what shit someone has been up to with my account. Activities like trades and purchases always send you an email confirmation, right?

Is Mesa finally "viable"?
Pretty much the only frame I love from a design and gameplay perspective, yet she never felt as powerful as she should be.
I always swore the day they make a Prime variant of her is the day id hop back in, but this is something else entirely. Cant wait to explore at breakneck space ninja speeds.

Every time I come back to this game they've completely reinvented large chunks of it. It's legitimately impressive.

Nope, that's a super cool idea that I really wish we had.
PC is going to be better/higher performance options and gets all their ideas and updates first. Consoles tend to get the major patches a month later or so (console certification process and all), and they tend to be less buggy because the PC players have been uncovering any problems. They also bundle together all the intermittent patches the PC gets.
No. If any premium currency was purchased on your account, you'd have seen an email confirmation about that, but not on individual trades or in game purchases.
I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. Mesa was always an A/A+ tier Warframe, unless you're confusing the names with something else? Gunslinger frame.
Mesa is practically unstoppable. For an example (with builds) see:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TpOzxRjXAQ
Maybe its just me but I've always felt her abilities weren't as multifunctional as they could be compared to more AoE focused frames. She feels highly specialized, if that makes sense, in that her specials require more of a plan and positioning rather than the press and go crazy effects some others have. Then there's some small details, like Shooting Gallery switching to different people instead of staying on Mesa while also alternating teammates, Peacemaker leaving you grounded and vulnerable, etc.
So its not so much that I think she's weak, but rather she's one of the frames with the highest learning curve that I myself haven't managed to master yet.
Yeah, I see that I'm just out of the loop entirely.
I pretty much stopped playing since they changed the way you farm prime parts. The rifts make a lot of warframes obsolete, most of the time its just one gigantic cheese fest and it becomes crazy boring.
One example is speed farming with volt on extermination maps, they can boost you to speeds that make it extremely difficult to even control your character, also at the time I played they were causing some glitches IIRC.
Killing will be done with any of the cheese weapons, before it was the synoid simulor, now its the tonkor again.
there are so many weapons but its incredible how bad some of them are compared to others, what do we have such a range of weapons for when youre kinda "forced" to play with those cheese factory items if you want to at least see an enemy.
I spend hundreds of hours trying to make "useless" (because they arent crazy OP) stuff into actually useful things by maxing prime mods and trying tons of different builds but that update made them obsolete and only really viable if you dont want to be productive.
Its all about the cheese which is a shame because with that kind of movement it could be really fun but ultimately you end up just sitting there and pressing 2 buttons once per round/wave.
Anyways, that looks pretty sweet so Ill definitely give it a shot.

Not very hard actually, not nearly as hard as it used to be, which is why they don't sell for as much as they used to in trade chat. With the relic system, you can form parties and have everyone refine the same type of relic to give you a roughly 30 percent chance of getting the parts you want.
Till end of July you can get Rhino Prime if you if you didn't got it last time.

Every time I try to get back into this game the barrier of entry seems astronomically high. Maybe that's improved? The gunplay seems alright but the character designs are awful.

Ah I see. Well Shooting Gallery was changed semirecently so that one always sticks with Mesa, and another bounces between her teammates. Also I don't know how long ago you played her, but Peacemaker was changed so that instead of shooting around her without you paying attention, there's a "cone of focus" that tightens and increases damage on what you aim at. So she's a bit more involved and maybe will fit what you're looking for. Shatter Shield also gives you 95% damage reduction against projectiles, so you're good there.
If you want to talk high learning curves, it's Limbo who you've gotta look at. Knowing how and when to use his abilities effectively is the difference between a core part of the team and an extreme annoyance.
Depends on who you ask. You first have to farm the "relics" (one time use items) that have the component parts of the Prime Warframe (Blueprint, helmet, chassis, systems). The parts can be common/uncommon/rare drops from the relic. You can increase your chances at getting uncommon or rare parts with a particular resource you get while farming for Primes specifically, called Void Traces. With a full team all having refined relics, there's roughly a 34% chance of getting a rare drop. The Wiki details the numbers out nicely.
I had all the rare, harder-to-farm parts of the last Prime batch very quickly once it released, and the common/uncommon parts are very easy to get.
I say depends on who you ask because the process is more grind-involved than the old system used to be (get a key, run the mission, hope you get the part). While it required only one grind step (getting the key) and could be done much faster, the drop chances couldn't be tilted towards the rares.
DE's been hammering away at the new player experience over the year, giving you a bunch of vital mods at the start (although weakened from the ones you'll get while playing) and giving a starting sentinel companion to help keep your health and shields up.
Reinstalled because of this.
Apparently I'm a celeb now because I own Excal Prime, this is the first time in the multiple times I've come back to the game that I've gotten people asking to sell my steam account. Why is that people care now?
I'm guessing this is why umbra is important.

Excal Prime was only given to founders, with the promise that it would never see release again.
Well I guess it's a good thing that I thought Warframe in 2012 was good enough to throw $100 at.

Is there a good guide/video to for jumping back in? It's been at least a year since I last played and I definitely don't remember what everything does.

I was just digging around, here's the 2004 Teaser Trailer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gd96sd2wwQY
Then the 2005 pre-E3 Reveal Trailer for 360/PS3:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3jw2-xKqjA
Absolutely crazy how far this has come along, you can see all the same early design elements the current game has in these clips.
Then it was delayed and came back a bit weird:

Fun fact: The main character of Dark Sector is Hayden Tenno.
The player characters in Warframe are called "Tenno." They're not really related, but it's a nice callback.
