All in all interesting changes. None leap out as unbalanced.
I'm not sure why they keep pushing Steel Path though. Gamers lie. They really don't like hard content. No-one I have talked to plays it unless they have to.
It drives me fucking nuts how leetists keep telling Newbies that that best place to level is Steel Path Hydron though.

I do the Steel Path dailies semi-regularly for the Umbral Forma but otherwise wouldn't bother after getting the other unique / one-time Steel Path Essence rewards.

The New War quest looks epic. I'm excited to finally get that storyline resolved. For most players Space Mom has not been Space Mom longer than she was Space Mom.

Ya, Ordis with boobs is just not the same.
They also showed off Warframe on a Smart Phone, and everyone on my Clan chat was howling with laughter at the idea. "Your battery would last 30 seconds!" was a common comment. DE also said there will be full crossplay between all consoles and PC, at which point people were laughing about circle strafing.
I'll believe that New War thing when I see it at this point.
The sad thing is DE really are good at doing story quests, but they rush off doing other shit all the time. Then they get bored with that idea and do something else irrelevant.

Not likely given the Switch version can run on batteries for a decent amount of time with some graphics settings turned off (with settings maxed it will drain the battery fast) and the Switch is way less powerful than current-gen flagship phones. And there are plenty of other graphics intensive mobile games these days (PUBG, Call of Duty, Fortnite, etc. etc.). DE also said there will be full crossplay between all consoles and PC, at which point people were laughing about circle strafing.
Who cares? Warframe is a PvE game. |

Played around with Yareli for 3 hours today, and I have to say I like her.
She has some very nice immobilizing abilities and the Hoverboard ability gives her fantastic speed, tanks her up as 75% of the damage foes into the board, and immunity to staggers and lockdowns. It locks her into using secondaries, but her passive doubles the critical chance on her secondary so that all fits together. She is actually pretty fun to play esp if you have a very powerful secondary to run with.
If you read up on her synergies and so forth you can so some very fun things with her.

I haven't gotten her yet but the main complaints I've seen are traversal on her K-Drive equivalent on a lot of maps is a pain in ass, which is unsurprising since they were designed long before K-Drive was a thing, the range on her Aquablades is way too short and the damage on Riptide is underwhelming.

Ya, the K-drive can get hung up on things when you drive in corridors, and If you jump up you get caught on the ceiling. No surprise there considering the corridors are designed with lots of cover and not with Micheal J Fox in mind.
Ya the blades are short ranged but you have enormous speed to get in close and dancing around to keep the Mob in the blade ring is kind of fun.
From the Wiki, Damage on Riptide is: Total Damage = Cold Base Damage × (1 + Ability Strength) × (1 + 0.5 × Number of Enemies)
At max ability rank with a rank 5 Intensify equipped and 5 enemies dragged in, Riptide will deal 2,500 × (1 + 0.3) × (1 + 0.5 × 5) = 11,375 Cold damage on burst, after 4 ticks of 600 points cold damage
Which isn't Saryn nuke level, but it's reasonable. Yes it does not scale, so its crap on Steel Path, but that's a VERY common problem.

There's an Umbral Forma and a 3 Forma pack up as Alert rewards for the 8 next days as gifts from their completed Conquer Cancer campaign.

The New War was great - whoever is responsible for music direction in this game needs huge accolades.
Having never run missions in my Railjack (bolted together when first released), THW got me into actually running missions and then heading off to Fortuna to crew it up. Railjack feels great now and is soloable...
... especially as TNW got me to play around with Necramechs. I bought one with plat from the store as I'm not a huge fan of the planet rep grinds and slapped some mods on it. I've added Necramechs to my "this is fun" list. Buying up mods via trade made it a good experience as vaults seem to be a bit "bring your friends" - I have no friends in my TZ anymore.
TNW definitely got me back into the game - I finally decided to stuff 15 forma onto Sevogoth - he's a beast! Doesn't make up for Yareli being the worst frame I've ever seen.
I really need to get past MR25, I swear I have enough XP to get me closer to MR 28-29. I just hate doing the achievements.

Are you me? Our experiences were eerily similar. I'm also stuck MR25 (stupid follow the bouncing ball mastery test) but I have 1,979,654 mastery which would put me at MR28 if I could/can do all the tests.
I already had a moderately kitted out Railjack with crew members that I put together for the Corpus Lich / Railjack update so I didn't need to do anything there. But I did buy a Necramech just like you. Vaults you can do solo with the right setup (need to be able to protect Otak). Don't know why DE gated The New War behind those two things, though, especially the Necramech.

Use Titania for the MR25 test. its stupidly easy with her. You can whack the ball without shifting out of her flying form as it comes with a melee.
For MR26 mastery test - use Limbo, go perma shift and ignore all the mobs. Easy. You can also hop into operator to jump forward to cover distance unless it is disabled (cant remember)
Rank 27 you definitely can use your operator and dash around.
Didn't bother logging in for the event. I'm in an out phase.

So I decided to get back in and do a lot of things that I couldn't be bothered with previously. Finished all the storylines, Railjack completed and modded, Archwing and weapons all modded out, Voidrig Necramech and weapons maxxed out and fully modded. Currently working on the Bonewidow Necramech. Pulling up open world standing and slowly working through Steel Path (I know there's haters, but Inaros is very capable in Steel Path to clear the nodes).
With that all said, I bit the bullet and finally attempted MR 26. Despite the fact that people said to use Limbo, it's an absolute walk in the park using Titania built tanky. Aero damage reduction mods, Adaptation, max efficiency and over 200 duration, plus the exilus mod that gives you full enegy on start. Along with Primed continuity and Primed flow, you jump into Razorwing and tap the forward button - pretty much nothing hits you. I wish I'd done it earlier.
Tomorrow will be MR 27 as I already have the experience for it - looks like it will be Titania again.

Its been a pretty good year for Warframe. I even bit the bullet and finally worked out how to beat the MR27 test (Vauban of all things - but operator needs to throw canisters otherwise the auto-sword block means you can't toss the cannister in a warframe). In fact, I had enough MR to push all the way up to Legendary Rank 2 (MR32). With 50K MR to go to LR3, I need to take a break as I'm obsessing and hating grinding out the Tenet Melee weapons and some of the Entrati weapons (plus 3 more hoverboards).

Dante is a freaking monster! With Roar subsumed onto his #1 I can get my team to 33000 overshields and can armour strip and slash-nuke Steel Path (only tested to 142 level mobs so far). It's an amazing kit all round, so much so that I can RP with a grimoire as my secondary. The only time I have problems is the acolyte that shuts down your abilities. Eximus seem to have their bubbles pop, or I need 1-2 hits with the grimoire at high levels. The game is as healthy as ever - next stop Legendary Rank #4,
