EDIT: Digital Extremes has announced that Warframe is being released as a Launch title for the PS4. Considering that they were approached by Sony, who asked them to adapt it to PS4, is a pretty remarkable achievement.

They were called Tenno. Warriors of blade and gun: masters of the Warframe armor. Those that survived the old war were left drifting among the ruins. Now they are needed once more.

The Grineer, with their vast armies, are spreading throughout the solar system. A call echoes across the stars summoning the Tenno to an ancient place. They summon you.

Allow the Lotus to guide you. She has rescued you from your cryostasis chamber and given you a chance to survive. The Grineer will find you; you must be prepared. The Lotus will teach you the ways of the Warframes and the secrets to unlocking their powers.

Come Tenno, you must join the war.
WarFrame is a free-to-play cooperative Third Person Shooter by Digital Extremes, co-developers of the Unreal Tournament and Bioshock series. The player plays as one of an assorted number of WarFrames, which each have different skills and abilities that are useful in different circumstances.

There are three enemy factions within WarFrame. The Grineer are a race of cloned humans, hell-bent on improving their technology and eradicating the Tenno. The Corpus are a technological race of traders, consisting of robots and drones, using plasma weapons to attack. The Infested are a plague, not dissimilar to Halo's Flood, which are fast, hit hard, and can do anything from draining your power to healing other enemies and AoE damage.

Each level is generated randomly; created from modular tilesets that have interconnecting doorways/passageways. Each mission generally consists of fast paced action, from raids to assassinations to eradicating all life on enemy ships. You can form a squad with up to four players to combat any one or a combination of the three enemy factions present in the game. One of the things I like most about the game is that Lotus, the alleged overseer of all your actions, will sometimes tell you to do one thing, then later on in the mission, she'll basically go "Shit's hitting the fan, kill them all!" and your mission will adapt from being a rescue mission to an eradication mission. This can also occur with other mission types, where a reconnaissance mission will change into a hostage rescue and vice versa. It gives it a nice little feeling that the battlefield is ever changing and all that.

There are a number of weapon types present in the game, and they can be categorized as Primary, Secondary and Melee. each WarFrame equips one of each weapon type. Primary weapons include things like Assault and Sniper Rifles, Gatling guns and Shotguns. Secondary weapons are comprised of pistols and other small arms. Melee is a little different. By default, the character wields a Sword called the Skana, and as you progress, you can purchase build anything from Swords, Daggers, Claws, Great Axes and Battle hammers.

Being Free to play, the game has two in-game currencies, Credits and Platinum. Credits being the "Free" money, you can earn these from missions and spend them on new weapons and blueprints to build new equipment. Credits will generally be able to buy you low to medium-tier equipment, and blueprints to construct higher tier weapons and equipment. Platinum, being the "paid" currency, allows you to buy new WarFrames and advanced weaponry outright, as well as being able to purchase equipment slots, enabling you to tie more equipment to your account. Being such, Platinum is able to get you more stuff earlier, but there are no cash roadblocks that prevent you from being as good as any other player.

The only platinum exclusive equipment are cosmetic and convenience based, such as a slightly larger colour palette when customizing your WarFrame and other colour palettes, or additional equipment slots.

Personally, I've been playing this game pretty much exclusively the past few months, save the odd Pokemon game here and there. If you want to add me, my IGN is Azure_Kyte.

Warframe is a super cool game and you should play it if you're hella bored.

Yeah, I've spent a good 30-40 hours on it so far, and it's so much fun sending enemies flying with the Fragor.

There's been an update which provides each WarFrame it's on specialised level up tree, two new WarFrames, an Ice type and a Psychic type, a new Environment to explore, two new planets and a number of bosses and improvements. Ohboyohboyohboy.

i still need to build that frost prime ;w;
guess what i'll be doing this weekend \:D/

Azure_Kite
Yeah, I've got the Prime Chassis built, and ran a few rounds at Outer Terminus with our clan today. I'm looking for a Rifle Multishot mod, and still haven't managed to find one yet D:
deadbeat
i've got one at 20% multishot. it's still on my BRATON. though once my Ember is higher level, i should work one getting the Paris leveled up.
also need to farm some more mods so i can do more fusing :<
foulcoon
I've played 7 hours of this game and i have no idea what the hell you guys are talking about...
deadbeat
azure and i play this a lot ;w;
short easy version, i wanna build a new warframe and he's looking for a mod to power up his rifle
Topic Starter
Azure_Kite
Pretty much. My gun is already a leadhose of doom, but Multishot gives a percentage chance to fire two bullets per shot, effectively doubling your damage output. Since The Rifle Multishot mod caps at 90% chance to fire two bullets, it's a pretty important mod to max out your weapon's potential.
deadbeat
maybe i should boost my multishot mod, but if i wanna boost both that and serration, i'll need to polarise my BRATON at least once ;w;
deadbeat
i'm going to bump this cause update 10

and PvP is now added /o/
azure, you and me, 1v1 again let's go

Well this thread seems dead...
Anyway, what frame do you recommend? I started excal and I prefer to go solo, idk I just want to try something new.
Good to know that there are some space ninjas here on osu, too. XD
deadbeat
Rhino can be attained rather early and is rather fun. I'm using him at the moment o/
he's like, super tank. seriously, Iron Wall just isn't fair
ItsukiKun
True. So I'm assuming that I should use a close ranged loadout with him because of his tankiness, right?
deadbeat
I'd personally love to see him with a rocket launcher >_<
ItsukiKun
Ermm... wut? Though I agree it would look pretty cool. Kinda like a juggernaut.
Topic Starter

Rhino works well with pretty much anything. This thread's dead I suppose because anybody that cares about it doesn't really forum.
deadbeat
So DE decided to just break melee by adding the Galatine. Azure and I have already found a way to make OP to the point of 1 hitting level 30's :<

yet to be tested though, but i'm going to do this. if this really does work, i'm going to be crying
Topic Starter
Azure_Kite
You'd probably be able to take on level 90's and one hit them.
deadbeat
when you max it out sure, but not early on.
i seriously hope that they balance it
TKS
i found this topic finally.
but my NOVA is crying. because this topic is so quiet. ;_;
deadbeat
so yeah orikin vaults. might try them out later
thelewa
this game is great

shame that I'd rather not play with random people though, which is severely limiting my enjoyment of the game
TKS
really great.
why this topic is cold? need to be more hot.

Azure_Kite
I suppose shooting things and clicking circles are mutually exclusive. One can't click if they shoot. Conversely, one can't shoot if they click.
thelewa
oh my god I'm getting so much of everything for free in the weekend event
ItsukiKun
But why does nobody want to go with the corpus ;_;
Well I'm not getting that detron.
deadbeat
the reward for siding with the grineer is better
thelewa
farming for Split Chamber is breaking my mind
Topic Starter
Azure_Kite
You'll likely wanna farm Pluto for that. Pluto Corpus Defense. It starts off as a T3 reward at like a 2% chance, but you have to complete 5 waves, exit, repeat.

Are you talking about the battle pay or final rewards?
Cuz if it's the battle pay then 5 orokin cell vs 125k cr and 5 fieldron vs 100k cr and the corpus are still losing

So apparently my computer just had to break when U11 was released and I can't join the event.
At least the reward is (hopefully) not event exclusive like the other....
deadbeat
so far per planet rewards have been 75k credits, 100k credits, 50k credits, 3 gallium and a orokin reactor blueprint.

update 11 is my favorite update in a long time :<

Ran an Alert solo earlier today, a Grineer Extermination, for 14400 credits. Had to kill 70 Level 50-60 Grineer, and I was using the Soma running a Radiation Build.

Every credit was earned, that run. None of the enemies spawned until the last 2 rooms, and hell it was fun. Very hard, as Commanders kept Switch Teleporting me into the crowd, but I returned alive (just)
deadbeat
Alad V was a bit too easy :(
though he really had it coming
deadbeat
My Nova hungers for battle


30 energy to case Molecular Prime. Survival and Defense missions are fun :>



EDIT: anyone happen to have a Rifle Ammo Mutation mod they can trade?
deadbeat
