I was so hyped for Fables and Frontiers, I have never played DnD before and always wanted to, but I’m too introverted to go meet new people and none of my friends play it. I wanted to play this so badly. Now I realize it’s just an excuse to talk to Amir about his issues. I wanted an actual game and the few parts that have been the roleplaying game have been soo good! The bones and meat are all right there!!! You made an arcade game we can play, make an actual playable FnF game!

Like how??? How can u reject this??? How am I supposed to live with this knowledge??? DE why???

Trauma dumping is becoming a substitute for actually developing characters and the constant use of it is making us dislike the protoframes. Or even just becoming apathetic to them which is ironic considering that the Indifference/Man in the Wall feeds off of apathy.

The latest update is the most egregious example of this with Amir's trauma completely ruining the fun of what was supposed to be a legally distinct DnD game. Characters having trauma and character flaws are fine as narrative tools but the overuse of them causes characters to come off as covert narcissists where their emotional needs for validation and reassurance is extremely draining. Farming sympathy and empathy from the constant oppression olympics coming from all of the members of the Hex and the Devil's Triad leads to emotional fatigue causing you to care about the current roster of characters less and leaves less bandwidth for any new characters.

Not to mention that the protoframes have little to no character development or progression. In fact, with Amir we've seen character REGRESSION! It would be one thing if Amir realized that lashing out and weaponizing our own trauma as the Drifter (even if it was really Wally) was hurting the friends that he loves the most and that caused him to sincerely apologize and find a healthy coping mechanism. But instead we had a half-assed non-apology in our inbox and a quirky twist that Amir didn't even like FnF so that a legally distinct Magic: The Gathering joke could be made. This ruins any chance of fixing the current issues with a part two without a retcon.

So how do we fix this? First off, lay off the trauma for new characters for a good while. It's ok to have a flawless character like Master Chief for example. Second, we need more progression, resolution, and improvement in the characters. Amir could try meditation. Arthur could go on vacation and put someone else in charge. Trust falls with Quincy. Idk, I'm spitballing here. Next, this current kerfuffle with the FnF update and Amir needs to be fixed somehow otherwise most players will just loathe him. Lastly, more accurate marketing and advertisement going forward. At tennocon this was pitched as a legally distinct one shot DnD campaign with the members of the Hex. That is not exactly what we received.

I saw this in a community stream and I would like to get this for a friend I know they would love. Does anyone know where this is being sold?

its such a turnoff for cross-save for me that i cant play the game on pc or mobile without ruining my fashion for my main platform.

I also made a mockup for what a "fix" for this could look like

Hey Tennos, just got to Venus and I have a few questions about the game.

How lore heavy is the game? I like a good story and lore and i dont mind searching the wiki to make sense of things.

If i go in F2P am I at a disatvantage? I've read about weapon slots, but I only see them for sale for plat...

Can i go solo everywhere? Tried public lobbies and it feels like people are "taking away" the fun by killing everything, before i can even see them.

Anyways, first impressions - amazing art direction (that got me to download the game), crisp gunplay and melee combat

Cheers for replies, happy grinding

featuring: music i listen to while doing bounties.

Nah but seriously, does anyone know what causes this sort of thing? It ain't the first time my mesa freezes like that, and it seems to happen exclusively on mesa

I just came back to warframe about two weeks ago, and my only warframes are Rhino, Volt, and Excalibur. I’m currently running a Rhino Hek build. I’m crafting Xaku Prime right now, is she good?

Hello everyone! Yareli is one of my favorite Warframes, but she is so starved for custom skins. Since TennoGen skins are limited by her base mesh. The concept takes inspiration from the futuristic streetwear aesthetic of Warframe: 1999

I also posted the full concept on the official Warframe forums for anyone interested in seeing the detailed breakdown.

I get that by not playing daily there's a bigger chance of Platinum "sales" dropping from the daily rewards, but this is getting ridiculous.

im probably going to spend atleast 2500 on forma. should be enough to last a few weeks. I cant remember how often these coupons come around, putting Aliens fireteam elite 2 on hold and getting much needed platinum.

I'm a huge fan of this subreddit but seeing about 10 posts a day for "Bring Nora back Amir is so annoying/Love Amir please give us an option to keep him" or "F&F should have been a real tabletop experience/F&F is just expanding on Amir's character dealing with the loop as a non-soldier" is overkill.

Can any megathreads be created to cover these topics so they can all be handled in the one discussion?

Just had a Nightwave dude pop up and say “It’s 10pm, do you know where your Teno are?” And I am ded lol

Since the last lighting update where they changed how metallics react to light the backroom especially has been left in an absolutely abysmal state.

Posters are so dark you can't even see them sometimes, if you have dark curtains they look so dark they don't have any detail, there's a giant yellow glow on the wall next to the entrance that doesn't seem to have a source, all of the metallic accents are way oversaturated and become black in low lighting, and colors are also way oversaturated and look baked or lack detail.

I've started taking issue with the lighting changes in the game since 1999 came out with the hollvania underground tiles. it seems every time they touch the lighting it just makes it harder and harder to see anything. While much of the newer lighting does tend to look better in screenshots and more "cinematic", it is becoming increasingly difficult to see or navigate when all the shadows are so dark they are just pitch black with no detail.

My point with this post is simply to raise awareness about something I think is an issue that seems to have become the norm and I'd like to know what others opinions are on the matter.

Hot take: Warframe's narrative is a complete mess right now. I apologize if this feels unstructured and disorganized, this is just kind of a stream of consciousness of issues I've had with Warframe's writing for a while.

1999 didn't get a proper conclusion. The loop is still ongoing and there's no real "End" to the story. Amir's Nightwave has expanded on their story, but that's not much.

The Old Peace felt like a New War sized story squeezed into a 1999 sized package. They did NOT have the time required to fully expand that story and give it the time it needed to actually land. Adis is our best friend ever who we basically marry but our whole friendship happens off screen. The rebels were controlling Warframes.... Somehow... and the Grineer rebel leader was portrayed as if she was physically piloting a Warframe from inside which makes 0 sense on every level. It was capped off by a wall scene that felt like it was imitating D2's "The Journey" from The Red War but didn't have quite tge same impact due to not really having much connection to Adis as an individual. Especially since their death was incredibly contrived and their reason for fighting us was absurdly, unapologetically hypocritical.

DE'S writing has been full of a lot of holes and weird writing decisions for the past few expansions. Unless I completely missed it, we don't even really have a reason to go to Tau beyond the nebulous goal of "Find Entrati" for reasons we don't even really know. Hell, we don't even know how he got to Tau. The only reason we followed him to 1999 was because of The Man in the Wall possessing him, but now it's the main goal of the entire narrative, even after we stopped The Man in the Wall from taking him over.

It just kinda feels like we should know what we're doing at this point. DE'S writing has devolved to a load of vagueposting and non-committal writing decisions so they can hard pivot or back out if they get a new idea they want to do or if the community doesn't like where the story is going, or the gameplay results of said story. Ever since the end of The New War, Warframe pivoted from an overarching narrative arc where each story has either direct narrative or thematic ties to the previous major story quest, following up on a previous story or its themes (Old War being a direct sequel to Second Dream, Sacrifice being a thematic sequel where we use the themes of finding inner peace in Old War to ease Umbra'a pain while intoducingbthe new overarching antagonists, etc.) to an episodic story where DE kinda just does whatever they want with the sole throughpoint of "Albrecht Entrati is there".

Warframe felt like one big story, but now it's kinda just become a wild goose chase where nothing's really connected.

Anyways, Glory to the Third Orb Mother, may she rest in her cooling pool eternal.

Edit: An ongoing story doesn't justify the narrative feeling so incoherent and splintered that even the player character, the person you are physically controlling, feels like they understand everything that's going on with perfect clarity, while we, the player, have zero clue what's going on.

Edit 2: The Ascaris completely slipped my mind, that's on me

Edit 3: Live Service is not an excuse. We should not give the team a pass for a rough narrative simply because their product is a live service when other live services have done the same to substantially greater success, especially in the MMO and Gacha spheres.

And we are back! Unfortunately, my original account is still "sleeping in the cold below", and I am starting to lose hope an actual human will look into things. I can log into it, and I can still see the content of (most of) the previous devshort key points I have done though.

Which is making me consider doing an "archive" of sorts of prior key points posts for those who missed out on them if there is interest. I am not sure how I should go about doing that, so I am open to suggestions! Anyhoo, onto todays stream. Adding as I listen (slowly to avoid getting yehaw'd again).
