Hi! I'm back again. I made an Ivara heirloom themed around poisonous frogs with a sporty game huntress aesthetic. I went for a different approach than usual with this one - something like the Mag heirloom where the galaxy part works as underclothing rather than bare skin, so I didn't give her any butt, sorry haha. I hope you like her!

The community will name Brysko's hound once the QTCC donations reach 120k

(This is likely a part of Brysko's kit like Venari, It's unclear if we're getting actual sentient companions atm)

Since we got new augments for Uriel, Oraxia, Grendel, Frost who do you think will be the next frame to get a Augment

(edit: mb guys I thought Octavia got an augment idk where I heard that from)

Bro's aura farming and I'm here for it

Let just call it "Brysko Junior" or "Void Slugger Junior"

Also Yay we donated 100k+!

Thank you grandma!

This is probably both a rant and an ask for help, so bear with me.

I recently completed The Second Dream, which was absolutely epic, and I’m genuinely enjoying Warframe. There’s clearly an amazing game here, and I can see why people love it so much. However, I’m starting to feel a bit fatigued by the progression, and I think the new player experience has some serious issues that aren’t immediately obvious when people recommend this game to newcomers.

I’m around 60 hours in, and I’ve spent quite a bit of time researching guides. I don’t necessarily mind doing homework for a game this complex, but even the guides can get overwhelming when you’re trying to understand several systems at once. I’ve watched multiple guides specifically about mods because, honestly, I feel like the game does a pretty poor job of explaining one of its most fundamental mechanics. (Like literally my YouTube feed is filled with recommended guides for beginners at this point )

Even the tutorial quests haven’t helped me understand the modding system as much as I expected. I obviously still have a ton of things to learn, and I’m deliberately avoiding researching everything at once because I don’t want to overwhelm myself. For now, I’m mostly following the main quests because that’s the one thing the game consistently points me toward. Outside of that, I often find myself wondering what I’m actually supposed to be working toward.

I’m still using Excalibur and Rhino, and I desperately want to start collecting and trying out other Warframes. That’s one of the things I’m most excited about, but 60 hours in, I feel like I’m struggling to make that happen.

I also haven’t spent the starting Platinum I received because I don’t know what the smartest use for it is. Then I ran into another frustrating situation: I crafted a new weapon, waited around 12 hours for it to finish, and when I went to equip it, I realized I needed inventory slots to make the most of it. I also discovered that I have a limited number of Warframe slots. I had to get rid of my Kunai just to equip another secondary weapon.

And that’s where I started wondering. am I supposed to spend Platinum on slots this early, and if so, which ones should I prioritize?

I know trading is an option, but as a beginner, I have no idea what I could realistically farm or sell that an experienced player would actually want. I’m not expecting everything to be handed to me, but I wish the game gave new players a clearer idea of how these systems work and how to make informed decisions with their limited resources.

Another thing that made the experience more disappointing was that my duo, who also plays MMORPGs, gave up on the game pretty early. That’s a bummer because I was genuinely looking forward to experiencing it together. I even tried doing research for both of us and simplifying things wherever I could, but there was only so much I could explain when I was still trying to figure everything out myself.

And that’s ultimately my biggest criticism.Warframe seems to expect new players to rely heavily on third-party guides, videos, wikis, and community resources just to understand basic progression systems.and don’t get me wrong, this community has been super helpful and one of the best i had come by.

I don’t mind a game having depth. I don’t mind having to research builds, experiment with mods, or work toward long-term goals. In fact, that’s part of what makes a game like this appealing to me.
But there’s a difference between a game having depth and a game failing to communicate its systems clearly. I want to discover things naturally, make progress at my own pace, and understand why I’m doing what I’m doing without constantly having to pause the game and look up another guide.

Maybe I’m missing something, and veterans will tell me that everything starts making sense eventually. I’m open to that possibility, and I’m definitely not trying to say that the game is bad. I’m enjoying it enough to care about these issues in the first place.

Edit: well tbh i didn’t expect this kind of support. Originally i wrote this post out of frustration but i was met with lots and lots of support. Thanks to everyone who gave me advice and offered to help. I probably never witnessed sth like this in my gaming career lol. But i wanna say i love you guys ❤️

As a former D2 player, I feel right at home sitting in a menu manually buying something 3174891758891764829174893167548917 times because the devs didn't put in the ability to choose how many you want to buy.

(But also pls add that here, idk why it's not here when the rest of the shop has it 😂)

First running long alerts is the worst way to farm moon flesh. Because going level cap in alert survival doesn't give you extra moon flesh, doesn't give you survival mission rewards and doesn't actually give you anything extra. Get in do the alert and get out. And if you still want to farm moonflesh afterwards. Go to a normal node on Erris.

This is the second time since this event started that I have been trapped in an alert survival mission because the way the alert and the survival mission is set up. It requires two people to be at the exit in order to actually leave the mission. You can't leave the mission as an individual you can only leave the mission as a group. Which means you need 2 people to exit and end it.

Why does that mean I'm trapped? Because three people from a clan decided we're just going to join with a random and then not let him leave. Despite the fact he's explained that this is the worst way to actually farm moonflash because you're missing out on a bunch of extra drops you could be getting from a normal survival mission as well as the Moon flesh.

Warframe player base leave the damn mission when its done or set your squad to invite only so that you are not wasting other peoples god damn time.

My only regret was I wasn't playing Nova so I couldn't just speed up the enemies and kill us all so that way I could cause them as much of a headache as they were causing me.

Wanted to try something fun while running Eris for moonflesh, and after seeing someone post Aegrit shenanigans with Ivara I decided run a build focused on abusing navigator with slow projectiles like the grimoire alt fire and zenistar heavy attack disc.

Grimoire is plenty strong already, I have a projectile speed riven for it and added lethal momentum on top to maximize the secondary fire's travel speed. Combining secondary enervate, piercing navigator (CC), and empowered quiver (CD) makes it one shot most mobs. Also, chasing down the acolytes with the orb is funny.

The Zenistar alt attack has a whole page of strange mechanics and interactions. Blast or Gas + Melee Influence and a bunch of attack speed allows it to function as a stationary "death gate" where it will continuously proc influence and provides some crowd control. It accounted for nearly half of the combined 6800 kills in my run.

Strangely, the duration of the disc can be extended beyond the 120 second (12x combo) duration. This is probably due to the snapshotting effects of navigator. I tested it with a timer and noticed that the amount of time spent in navigator with the disc is not counted towards the disc timer that appears in the UI. I was able to max it out to ~220 seconds.

let it rip.

Spliced my Phaedra riven and it multiplied my negative reload speed by 100 instead of 100% lmfao

Praghasa if you eat that, leave no crumbs. I did a few alerts, fallen through holes in the textures, got stuck in geometry and got discouraged to play further. Oof
