This weekend, Digital Extremes released a shiny new update to their free to play, 3rd-Person-Action game, Warframe. The update includes a new character class, updated builds for the randomized map generator, new Prime Weapons, and a host of bug fixes.
Devstream 188 was jam packed with a low of exciting reveals for both Warframe and Soulframe, here is everything they talked about on the stream!
Warframe is really cool, go play it.
I have been playing Warframe for a few years, and it is one of the best free-to-play games of all time. Normally in progression style free-to-play games, the developers put in artificial barriers to force you to spend money, but that does not happen in Warframe. What makes this better is that premium currency can be traded. That is unheard of in other free-to-play games.
If you are looking for a free-to-play live service game to play, then I recommend Warframe. Just proceed with the expectation that the game does not do a good job of explaining its systems or progression, so you will need to follow a youtuber who is dedicated to that game to help you out. In addition to that, the game is grindy but does not have some insanely low drop rate, so there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I think the lowest item drop rate is around 5.88%, not the 0.00000002% you see in other free-to-play games. There are also hordes of enemies, so it is not too difficult to get what you need. It is also rare to farm for something with such a low drop rate. These days I find myself farming the stuff with a 15-20% drop rate.
TNS: Warframe's 60th Warframe, Temple, is a rockstar that will burn up the stage and quite easily too with the help of our build guide.
Can't wait to give this a shot on PS4.
Between this, Planetside 2, and DC Universe, a person could buy the console by itself and have plenty to do without even being a PS+ member, though as a member they'd get the PS+ version of Drive Club also.
Good times ahead.
I have mixed feeling about the update. Changing the galaxy map and adding the cinematic clip before entering the game is cool but I feel it was somewhat unnecessary.
Putting rare drops like control module on the market probably wasn't that good of idea.
The new weapons, maps, items and new warframe was pretty cool.
