In an interview belonging to the Noclip documentary series by Daniel O'Dwyer, Digital Extremes Studio Manager Sheldon Carter detailed an unexpected result that occurred when the developer introduced a small microtransaction for Kubrows, an in-game virtual pet. The studio had implemented what Carter defines as a "slot machine lever" that allowed gamers - for the price of about $0.67 - to randomize the fur pattern and fur color of their pet Kubrow. While it was only a cosmetic feature, the idea of putting something so random behind a paygate drew the ire of many of the game's fans. Still, Digital Extremes went forward with the idea - until one fan spent well over $100 on it almost immediat
Warframe is getting its first fat frame. While some characters have been described as "thicc" or "phat," Grendel is unabashedly chunky. And while most other Warframes are loosely based off of Japanese samurai or ninjas, Grendel’s look is pretty obviously modeled after Sumo wrestlers. Just look at the way he sto
Khora is an amazing Warframe for farming items and dealing tons of damage. She is one of few Warframes that can directly boost loot drops through her Pilfering Strangledome augment, forcing enemies CCed by her ultimate to drop more loot on death. This immediately makes Khora an S-tier pick for any loot farms in Warframe, and that's just one aspect of Kh
Additionally, Warframe ’s two most maligned frames are getting reworked. Ember will gain a new "immolation" passive ability that keeps track of how many fires she’s set, while Vauban gets a general buff and a new fourth ability that allows him to call down an orbital str
Grendel will arrive with Warframe ’s upcoming The Old Blood update, which also brings a bunch of new features. The Kuva Lich promises to be a player’s personal nemesis, acquiring whatever abilities were last used against it to turn them back on the Tenno. Melee 3.0 will finally finish with a phase 2 rollout that brings new heavy attacks, mid-air attacks, and lift and juggle attacks, making Warframe ’s melee combat even more satisfy
When Carter and the rest of the development staff looked at the ~$137 purchase history of a man who really, really wanted to find the perfect fur pattern for his in-game pet, they realized they had essentially created a slot machine that impulsive players would gamble away significant amounts of money on. While many studios would consider this a big win, Digital Extremes made the decision that this kind of activity wasn't healthy for the playerbase in the long run. As Carter explained, it wasn't long before the 'gambling fur randomizer' was removed from the game entir
As you can see, Grendel is basically Warframe ’s Kirby. A grosser, more murderous version of Kirby to be sure, but he’s still just Kirby with a scarier face. Which is sort of in-theme for Halloween, now that we think of it. That’s not to say that Grendel will be bad, per se. Kirby is a beloved character, after all. Just that Grendel might seem a little uninspi
Over the last year, not only have we received the massive Plains of Eidolon expansion pack for Warframe, but we’ve also got numerous character updates. Octavia and Harrow are absolutely wonderful support Frames, with Gara being an alright addition, whereas someone like Hydroid not only got his Primed version, but was reworked to be a phenomenal character to have in a party. Zephyr has received a similar treatment as she recently picked up a rework to make her flow better in combat and traversal. The latest quarterly Prime update has come and with it we now have a Zephyr Prime to find in the drop tables. We’re taking a look at what the latest update brings and whether or not Zephyr Prime is worth your time.
In terms of abilities, Zephyr is surprisingly well-rounded, not only being nimble on her feet, but also has survivability and crowd-control techniques that do well in most situations. Bringing her into the Plains of Eidolon is where she shines the best, as she’s able to maneuver across the vast open area with ease, not using up too much energy in the process. Her first ability, Tail Wind, which has absorbed the Dive Bomb attack, is to thank for this, as not only will it allow players to hurl Zephyr tens of meters into the air, moving away from the action and exploring spots of a map you once thought inaccessible, but they’ll be able to have her come crashing down for https://Warframebase.Com/ impact damage. This combined with her floaty nature while airborne ensures you’ll be going from corner to corner in the Plains of Eidolon in no time. With that said, for standard linear missions, this technique is less useful, at least outside of dashing forward at a rapid pace.
In the odd event that Mesa can't shoot something to death, her Shooting Gallery and Shatter Shield abilities give her more than enough survivability to take on most enemies. Her strengths become even better if you take Helminth into account, allowing you to replace her mediocre first ability for Rhino's Roar, Hildryn's Pillage, or any other useful ability. Regardless of the activity, Mesa is always a great p
