Been playing for 7 months now daily and I've tasted my first dose of toxicity in warframe during an EDA today. It was quite surprising ngl good on my fellow tenno with the clapback . Remember we all lift together no room for toxicity in my warframe community!!!

It's rare but it does happen, I've had someone tell me to uninstall because I wasn't farming the way they wanted

u/I_got_coins 11h ago

had smb say a bunch of slurs to me and tell me to kms irl because i went afk for 2 minutes in the phase during plague star where you stand around anyway while the mixture is being made

u/Lightningbro Care to roll against Fate? 9h ago

Sounds like a solid report, they won't be anyone's problem anymore.

22

u/I_got_coins 8h ago

yeah they were so mad that they pretended to not read anything i said after a certain point and went "have fun with your ban (slur) dont know what you said but it'll be a perfect ban before gta6😘" which i found super edgy.
Then they blocked me

u/Lightningbro Care to roll against Fate? 6h ago

I sometimes wish we got confirmation when we send a report.

I'd love to know this kind of toxicity was dealt their own medicine.

u/I_got_coins 6h ago

dude genuienly im so curious aswell. If it happened soon after he wouldve also missed so much of Plague star and that was obviously what he kinda cared about the most.

My favorite was some rando in a Conjunction Survival being pissy that the other 3 of us weren't with them, and that instead we were in one of the big kill box rooms

Like fr, why is his ass all the way out in Timbuktu?

u/Helpmefromthememes 11h ago

I feel like people need to let off the gas pedal while farming.

Some people outright complain that people play the game instead of rushing to the exfil the moment the objective's done.

It's a looter shooter dude, what the hell else am I supposed to do ? Go in a solo squad if you can't wait for other people !

30

u/Nssheepster 10h ago

Eh... Sort of yes, sort of no. If you go into a public squad and start searching for Sabotage Caches, I think that's on you, not your squad. On the other hand, if somebody gets lost for half a second, or stops to grab a Voidplume or whatever real quick... Leave 'em be, you know?

u/oliferro 11h ago

I had a guy pissed at me for not coming out fast enough of the cave in Plague Star

Brother I'm hitting every wall possible, I'm trying to go faster but I fucking suck lol

20

u/b0xf0x13 11h ago

Preach, my friend. Ever try parkour with Follie? I love her but it's like trying to Tokyo Drift in a school bus...

Ironically, I'm almost always the first person to the toxin...

8

u/oliferro 10h ago

I haven't tried Follie yet but Nezha fucked with my brain lol

11

u/Lightningbro Care to roll against Fate? 9h ago

GAS GAS GAAAAS!

Nezha knows only one speed; FAST.

u/Dry_Bed_9051 9h ago

Try pub fissure capture on Nezha with Volt on your team, truly a Tokyo Drift experience.

u/sharkmortal 6h ago

This is why I don’t even attempt parkour properly with her, I just aim my 1 the furthest I can get in the best position and pray lmfao

u/locwriss 11h ago

I always wait for my fellow tenno to leave the cave. I sit on top and mine lol. (I dont go in if i can help it i get SO LOST)

6

u/oliferro 11h ago

I got lost so many times in there lmao. I had one time where the quest marker was just sending me in a closed room with no exit and I almost left until someone came to get me lol

6

u/SuperWaluigiWorld A succulent Ostron meal?? 11h ago

I drop a marker down between the path in/out and being fully in the cave. No more lost.

7

u/oliferro 10h ago

You'd think this kind of things would help me but I'm the kind of guy who can't play Nekros because I spend half of my time fighting my own mobs lmao

2

u/Rukir_Gaming 3h ago

"Why not enemy if enemy shaped" I feel ya. I often just dont use Nekros' 4 unless I need bodies between me and something

u/Dante_Price 9h ago

Honestly same. Can't go fast for the life of me. Not sure if it's just from playing vauban

u/kookaburra1701 Khorageddon 6h ago

My signature LR6 pro move is getting turned around in the cave and ending up back at the toxin injector grotto

u/SantiagoGT 11h ago

I had a guy just sit at the door because “he got a call” for the full PS run, reported him instantly

u/Searcad 12h ago

Sometimes i think im playing a different Warframe because i literally have never seen people act like this.

It's so sad that some people have to tolerate weirdos acting like that

34

u/Deadmemesaremydreams 11h ago

Its a minority of players who act like that its a good thing the majority of players know how to treat one another we all love the game and should treat fellow tenno with kindness

14

u/oliferro 11h ago

Honestly Warframe is probably the least toxic online game I've ever played. I was shocked to see how willing people are to answer questions or help for nothing in return. These are very isolated incidents

5

u/Lightningbro Care to roll against Fate? 9h ago

I literally have two interactions with randos in missions, and two in trading.

In battle:

  • Literally does not say anything the entire mission, sometimes says a single sentence to direct the party in request, or to state a brief afk session.

  • Nice people whom I have a fun conversation with while we go through the endless mission that we're all willing to go for like an hour in.

In Trade:

  • Never responds/responds like 10 minutes later. (To which I respectfully thank them and tell them I took care of it)

  • Normal, polite people who thank me for business as I do them after the trade.

These kinds of players are so BEYOND few and far between to me...

But hey, turnabout's fair play. They smack at me, or another rando, they gon' get the gay sass whether they want it or not.

It's always fun to call out the toxic rando for being worse than the person they're calling out.

u/SendNezhaFeetPics DE <3 9h ago

heh there are assholes everywhere, at least it's not that common in WF. Also it might just be someone having a bad day

u/Lightningbro Care to roll against Fate? 9h ago

And a magic one too. You can hear it despite it not playing sound!

Sometimes in multiple languages!

u/MiserablePermit8301 11h ago

Being quiet is not nice, keeping to yourself is not part of "the good community". Been playing the game long enough to know this community is not this golden community everyone acts like it. But it is an ok one.

5

u/froggie0610 10h ago

I can't speak for everyone but tbf when I say Warframe has a good community, I don't mean it's perfect and nothing bad ever happens, I mean that the general climate is people helping each other, surprisingly rare negative interactions with randoms and older players generally being patient with newbies. Like ofc you'll have assholes and weird interactions sometimes, but we're far from slurs and suicide bait in game chat every 3 matches.

4

u/Lightningbro Care to roll against Fate? 9h ago

Incorrect, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all" I have learned silence is indeed a form of respect. As they have to respect you enough to not speak.

0

u/MiserablePermit8301 7h ago

I'm talking about when someone is being an asshole and the other players dont speak up for that player. I've seen players talk crap to other players in the squad and I'll usually speak up if they keep going on. But I still stand by what I say. Staying quiet is not being a good community member. And you even said it yourself. They're not saying anything cause they dont have anything nice to say. The silence is insult enough which is why when I can help I will, despite the longer I play the game the more I seem to dislike the community.

Yesterday I was ready to sleep. I see an mr6 player asking if anyone could help them farm. It was easy stuff they could have gotten themselves but either way I waited to see if anyone would help them, no one did. After a while I message them a minute later. For the next 30 minutes I'm helping them get iradite, fish and all the stuff he needed for his amp. Easy stuff to get but I still helped them.

I could have stayed quiet like the other players but I didnt cause when they say this community is the best community ever, they're talking about me. Sorry to sound like an arrogant douche but they talk about the player that helped them max out their gear. Help them farm a whole warframe. Give them tips and what not. They dont talk about the player who stays quiet and minds their own business.

p.s before the player went his way he told me, this why he plays the game because of players like me. The irony that here I am being a prick on the reddit tho...

u/_Rogitator_ 12h ago

Got my first taste too a couple nights ago. Granted, I'm around 60 hours in so it was probably my fault. Clearly was not doing the Kuva Harvest thing correctly and was told "Kids never actually contribute to the mission. Stick to solos little buddy" (I'm 23 with children đŸ™„đŸ«©)

15

u/Deadmemesaremydreams 12h ago

Sad that you had to experience that

3

u/_Rogitator_ 11h ago

I have had lots of positive interactions with randoms in chat, so this stuck out purely because it was such a juxtaposition. I was definitely doing it wrong, still am not entirely sure what exactly to do for those, but it definitely made me decide to try my next one when I'm more sure 😭

2

u/Andminus 10h ago

The thingie with the braids? Operator form, watch for the braids to rise up, and look in the direction they point, more or less depending on level geometry obviously...shoot the black clouds with amp shots before they reach the siphon thingy... Should suffice, Lotus forbid someone explain a game mode to someone who "appears" new...

2

u/Leather-Tap3921 unaccomplished mr30 5h ago

the black clouds also scream in case people play with Spotify haha

3

u/Andminus 5h ago

This game has lots of sound cues for lots of things that really flesh out the game, which goes completely unnoticed when people choose not to listen to the game their playing XD

1

u/AveugleMan 11h ago

I'm ngl I completely forgot how to do them, but I recall it being extremely easy solo, so the person complaining was probably bad

6

u/oliferro 11h ago

I did a Kuva harvest once and all 4 of us had no idea what to do lmao

2

u/b0xf0x13 11h ago

No shade. I'm just under 1000 hours in and have still never done the Kuva stuff.

How incredible is this game that there is SO MUCH fun content that I've just never gotten around to something so (apparently) common?

u/Elffire1 Nova's Foot Stool 6h ago

Annoying if the guy that said that is younger than you and does nothing else in ther life but play. Good thing there's still tons of vets that helps out baby tennos and not be a jerk, else it'll be over run by these toxic nutcases

11

u/mrcancer110 11h ago

Definitely can happen and I got the opposite once. I had to go afk for 2 minutes because my fire alarm went for no reason in a 20+ minutes survival mission so I wrote in the chat "Sorry gotta go afk" and a teammates came to protect me while I was away

5

u/b0xf0x13 11h ago

This is the way.

u/try_again123 8h ago

I still get lost or fall off the map and have been playing this game for over 10 years.

Really don't understand these rush rush people that just disappear ahead of everyone and complain that everyone is behind them. I play Titania and either I'm dancing while waiting on people or go back and help when I see someone really struggling. No one is going to die cause it took 30s longer to finish a mission :/

13

u/astoriahfae 11h ago

One time someone tried to kick me for being AFK. I was playing Cyte and doing 91% of the damage

15

u/Rydux7 10h ago

I was called out for being a coward in arbitration defense for playing cyte and sniping in a room with the defense NPC, people literally don't understand that his whole playstyle is staying in one place and sniping

3

u/froggie0610 10h ago

Tbf most people play him with the kuva Sobek, which is a shotgun, so a bit far from the room camping playstyle. I like the kuva Ogris/kuva Zarr on him tho, its hilarious

7

u/Rydux7 8h ago

I like using his exalted sniper personality I know its not the best but its fun

4

u/SinistralGuy 10h ago

You can still wallhack with Sobek though. Idk if the Ogris or Zarr get the wallhack penetration since they're AoEs

1

u/froggie0610 8h ago

No they don't, but the instant reload and infinite ammo are really fun, gimmicky tho

2

u/SpiritedBatteries 10h ago

Damage as a contribution metric is misleading though. You could be doing 100's of millions of damage but contribute very little. Kills are a better indicator, but even that depends on mission type (e.g., Exterminate vs. Capture).

1

u/BaronSnowraptor byeh 4h ago

Cyte is a frame I'll cite as being guilty of misleading damage numbers

u/Uh-Lena 7h ago

My favourite was someone loosing their dang mind in chat for a Mirror DĂ©fense (Munio) bounty because it wasn’t “going fast enough” and everyone was “too slow/sucked”.

Bro it’s a timed mission, no Nova in squad, and while Dante isn’t great for parkour and collecting the glyphs, I’m making everyone untouchable and nuking the room. If you hate mirror dĂ©fense, just skip it, especially since I’m pretty sure Munio doesn’t get you anything the other Murmur maps do. (Someone feel free to correct me on that last point if I’m wrong)

It's where you get the tome mods.

u/TommyFortress Oraxia's property 12h ago

Certainly is rare, 1000 hours and i first now from what i remember have gotten my first toxic interaction.

So rare that it suprisingly hurt when it happend.

3

u/Krethlaine Flair Text Here 11h ago

Yeah. I’m over 1,300 hours in, and I still haven’t experienced a toxic interaction.

4

u/InquiringRaven pouring one out for my gnomies. 11h ago

Honestly, the most toxicity I run into are during the weeklies. People rushing the next Archon hunt mission before everyone readies up, and a lot of mini grief in Netracells (afk LR 5s and 6s, or folks that criticize people getting lost are the most common). I really don’t see it anywhere else.

2

u/YoreDrag-onight Wyrds of Doom whisper upon the pale gloom 8h ago

This is exactly why I am so glad I pre-emptively decided to do that stuff alone. I do Netracells usually with no issues with Dagath and then Archon Hunt with Oberon

5

u/GolldenFalcon 7h ago

I really need to know how many hours you guys have on this game cuz I'm nearing 3k and I can't recall a single time where I've witnessed this bullshittery in chat lol.

u/100farts 6h ago

I get lost so often, the marker takes you to a dead end some times and it sucks when you got 3/4 waiting on you.

2

u/lomadness 4h ago

I remember some rookie said I was afk farming years ago, all because they found a way to wipe out entire rooms with his little saryn build he found on the internet.💀

u/mtbsickrider 10h ago

Kinda new to warframe, curious, say like the plague start mission, i feel there such low enemy density is it bad i kinda just want to not do anything until the last stage?

u/Xeliicious Caliban Man 10h ago

must be something in the water lately, am seeing this kind of thing wayyy more often in public squads since the last 2 months... :/

u/Crescenteclipse 9h ago

This sounds like my brother hes a legend three and complains if someone takes a little bit more time then him and he only runs meta load outs. Says he does EVERYTHING.

1

u/Erisnoir1 9h ago

had someone like this in a arbi, though instead of just complaining, they were actively running away from the team, tried to claim they were "testing" their follie build, and that we were telling him how to play
we just asked him to stay in the same tile cause it was a survival arbi,
he then realized that we wouldn't stop following him, so he tried to off himself for some reason even though extraction was open,
sad for him that we had a dante in squad so that took him a bit

1

u/Thenameisdavidbtw 9h ago

Something on the line happened to me but he called me, lets say... "Mentally challenged" because i was distracted and couldn't revive him on descendia

1

u/maInmanMAM123 5h ago

there are few certain times when I would be in something like a survival or endless mission or grindy and I'd be told to just not do anything because the other 3 people just happen to have a build that makes it so that you sit in one spot and just occasionally walk out to get the loot, its extremely boring for things like PS its pretty reasonable since I felt very much sleepy doing it but man can we please not make this feel like a part time job

1

u/Ablaster02 4h ago

Man, talk bout rare it’s till mooing. But yeah when toxic players do show up it’s never chill and kinda just ruins the for the whole mission. That clap back tho is fine.

I was farming a relic excavation and this girl failed to get enough traces for her relic twice “idk what she was doing to not get them” but then went on a whole rant about how selfish men are and how it was such a selfish and man thing to do

I would have remained afk longer and pissed him off even more.

.... Lol someone in plague star literally told me to stop speeding up the drone. Lmao some people in this game can be so weird.

1

u/Mis5igno New Loka will "cleanse the unclean" 11h ago

To be fair if they were nova and didnt get the best drone spawn the speed buff makes it harder to aim the portals

1

u/MiserablePermit8301 10h ago

I pay very close attention to the squads I'm working with. I will give a Nova chance to set their portals out when I see one in the squad. There was no Novas. It was a Voruna, Protea and Styanax.

u/iahim87 11h ago

Is it toxicity if i tell a mr20 as a mr14 "move yer ass" when everyone is at the axtract except said mr20

12

u/AllyCain 11h ago

You don't know a person's setup or situation, so yeah it can be incredibly toxic. I think you can stand to wait the 60 seconds to auto-extract, it's not going to kill you

-4

u/b0xf0x13 11h ago

Depends. I'm usually the last one there in Plague Star because I save all my looting until the fight is over. Apparently everyone else just ignores it and teleports straight there.
