We all Warframe Together

[The Nth Doctor]

In a not-so-shocking twist, I am back on my Switch account because, if they're genuinely going cross-save, there's really no point in doing anything on the PC till I can just sync up with this one.

The main thing I've been working on is getting Yareli leveled up and moded. She seems pretty fun so far. Not exactly my cup of tea, per se, but not nearly as offensive as some people seem to be making her out to be. Then again, I think she's had a patch or two since I actually got the frame, so maybe I missed some period where she was terribly underpowered.

I'm just making all kinds of grabby hands at the cross-play and cross-saves right now. Gimme!

 

[Copper Bezel]

Yeah, crossplay is like the most anticipated feature in ever and it's not hard to appreciate why - even as an exclusively PC player, I'm psyched to see the playerbase all in one place when it all comes together.

It's good to hear Yareli is okay now! Originally, the CC effects of her 1 and 4 were a complete joke thanks to her having very little range, which left her without any obvious role or gameplay loop, just a bunch of weak damage abilities. After the second round of buffs, she started to make sense to me on paper, but I haven't made my way through the, to me, fairly punishing sequence of K-Drive "challenges" to unlock her. I love the use of the comic to introduce her and wish every frame got one of those, though, and her animation set is ❤ on my Nezha. = D

I ground out all the Tenet guns and as many of the ephemeras as I could stand to after the Sisters of Parvos hit, and I freaking love the Dual Diplos. There are a lot of dual autopistol weapons and even a couple of Corpus projectile ones in this game, and it's a weapon type I like a lot, but I didn't expect to be blown away by yet another one. But they're absurdly effective and satisfying, their sound effects are so good that I had two other players in matches message me to ask what I was using, and they look like a pair of very respectable staple guns When I went to rename them to get rid of the lengthy Sister name, I dubbed mine the Akbostich.

I mean, bearing in mind that I'm a filthy casual. I find Yareli fun to play, but I haven't really put her to any real stress test yet. Still working on leveling her up since I don't have as much time for Warframe as I did what with focusing on my writing.

But damned if I didn't even think of her idle animation and Nezha. Though might be just a bit too cute for my particular theme.

 

[Copper Bezel]

Fair. I basically go all in for cute with Nezha. X ]

Nothing wrong with being a casual at a game like this. That's just healthy. If I was spending some fraction of my time playing Warframe writing something instead, I think I'd feel good about that trade....

 

[Rhinox]

I anticipate being able to play more with crossplay. If I can have my Rhino on Switch, I'll bring it everywhere, but I'm not putting money into a new account when I can be patient.

Swaz-do-lah, tenno! Dragging this one up from the void, anyone else here still play? I've been on board for about five years now, I'm a slow-ass casual who hasn't finished 2nd Dream but is spoiled about the story through that point; beyond that I'm as spoiled as anyone who has kept up with the teasers and trailers. Duviri looks weird and 1999 looks fun.

I started as an Excalibro, but as a primarily solo player I suppose I main Vauban (thank you Movember cosmetics for giving me the perfect avatar) and Titania Prime just for the sheer utility and mobility. I've lucked into a couple primes just from tapping relics (Titania, Harrow, and Baruuk), and I'm slowly going back and punching out the frames you get from regular starchart bossfights. Just since the holidays I finally remembered to go back and beat up the Hyenas on Neptune a few more times, so now I have vanilla Loki cooking. Basically I keep getting distracted from story progress by building and leveling things, and Nightwave shinies - but to get to Pluto I do actually need to finish 2nd Dream, so it's gotta happen eventually.

And a little bit of photography, just to liven things up!

I don't normally do a lot of add-ons to my frames, but somehow Ember needed to be a sentai hero:

Nova of course got the Portal cosplay:

Caliban and the boys aren't based on anything, they just turned out neat:

Also not based on anything particular, but the color RNG mostly gave me this for Punch Man, only needed minor tweaks:

I need to find/get some good shots of the others, now that I've started playing around with captura mode more.

See you around the System!

Since Destiny is in kind of a slump, I started playing Warframe again. Hit MR 16 last night, in fact!
There's a lot of things i need to do, but I have way more fun cracking relics and just goofing around.
Mostly I stick with my main frame, Rhino Prime, but I do need to get Loki leveled up. Going through my weapons and getting them all leveled for the mastery ranks. Just got done with the Lex sidearm. It is not a good weapon.

MR12 here, and finally using some guns that were mastery level locked but I've had the blueprints for ages. Fulmin Prime is such a satisfying buzzsaw.

And ah, Rhino, the OG Punch Man! Need to revisit mine at some point; I got a look I love, but I don't think I've even shoved a potato in him yet.

Leveling weapons has quickly taught me (I say after five years playing) the types I like and dislike. I find secondaries in general are kind of a pain to level just because it takes so long to get kills with them, especially with slow ones like throwing knives, but I find uses for 'em (Lex Prime, coincidentally enough, is my main sniper-pistol); and as much as I like the look of the big heavy melee weapons I just don't like playing with them - just too dang slow! And whips are so janky that it's not fun.

 

[Rhinox]

Warframe really needs a destiny style profile page where you can show off your frames and weapons.
As far as secondary weapons, I have a good pair of matched pistols that I swear by. Can't remember their in game name off top of my head.
I'm trying to get the parts to Sybaris Prime. I have Dex Sybaris and it is one of my primary 'go tos' but I'd like the Prime as well. There's just something about the lever action rifle that really satisfies. The fact that it's a head seeking monster is a bonus.

 

[Ceir]

Got Loki spun up! Haven't even had enough time to level him completely, but fun so far. I'm setting up a duration build for decoy and invisibility simply because I hate Spy missions that much. Color RNG was very on point, it practically gave me a desaturated EVA-01/Banzaitron; I just had to tweak the accent and energy colors:

 

[Rhinox]

I need to spend time on my Loki. Like everyone, I hate spy missions and that's why I have him. But, it'll be a bit before I'm back with my xbox.

 

[Ceir]

Welp, finished leveling up Loki to base 30. And I think I'm done with him for a while - alas, The Internet is kind of right about him IMO, he's...pretty boring. A gun carrier with an invisibility button. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy daisy-chaining a dozen backstabs and having the ability to toss out an attention-grabbing decoy, but that's about all of his kit I use on a regular basis. Maybe disarm if I get surrounded and they're not all melee anyway. Unfortunately, I can't even casually come up with any ways to change him up that both lean into the whole "trickster" thing and don't overlap with the likes of Nyx and Mirage.

Back to rolling relics for the one dang missing part I have for like three different prime frames, I suppose. RNG Desire Sensor is still real...

 

[Rhinox]

Yeah, Loki needs a rework. There are other frames that do what he can, but better. His teleport and radial disarm ability, while interesting, just aren't that useful except in very specific and rare cases.

 

[Ceir]

Loki on the shelf, and Gauss Prime in the oven! RNG finally coughed up the last BP that I needed, and he is cooking away. Soon it will be time to uncontrollably bonk into things again - I'm looking forward to taking him out into the open-world maps.

Also finally gave in and built myself a Stug. Meme booger gun go!

 

[Ceir]

Pardon the double post, but FYI: double-affinity weekend is up! Making use of it to finish leveling the booger gun. Built the Stug for memes a bit ago, it's just taking me ages to level. Big surprise as a slow, low-damage gun. But hey, I appreciate a meme machine now and then.

 

[Rhinox]

I need to spend some money to buy slots for new weapons and frames. I'm kind of backed up. But, almost everything I have has maxed level, so it's time to decide what I want to keep and what is fit for the heap.
I'd like to get a sybaris prime to go with my dex version, but RNG hates me.

Well, at least the new Nightwave season is a couple slots. Thank you Nora, that's how I've gotten by so far (though I do wish once in a while she'd give pet slots instead).

Yeah, going through the list and playing the "is it good and/or did I actually enjoy using it" game for what to sell off is always 'fun'. The only things I've decided I'll 100% keep are my starters, Primes, and specials like Dexes.

I once pondered over the idea of a weapon trophy decoration, similar to the fish trophies. Build it with X weapon and additional material cost, stick it on the wall, free up a slot. I'm not sure if that would mess with the Slot Economy too much though.
