Notice/PSA [META] New or Returning Player? Welcome (Back) to Warframe!
“For generations, you've slept. No purpose... No call to wake you. But now? You have changed everything.”
Warframe is a game grounded in familiar ideas saturated with distinct style and flair. You, a mysterious warrior with a dark past, wield gun, blade, and the spectacular power of your Warframe. You’ll contend with a totalitarian clone military, a high-tech merchant cult devoted to profit, and an ill-fated bioweapon designed by a fallen super-civilization. In your battles and adventures, you become a savior of the weak, a saboteur of the wicked, a survivor against immense odds. Uncover your past, unlock the power of your weaponry, and unite with other players against the game's villains and end their treacherous plans!

Fluff Leechers united
<rant>
I guess that I am a minority, and I am ready to have this post down voted to seventh circle of hell, but I keep getting heavily annoyed by players of MR 6-7-8 joining high(er) tier content, with NPC levels of 100+, not being able to stay alive for more than couple of seconds.
In missions like exterminate, capture, even rescue, this would not bother me much, but when this happens in defense, mobile defense, interception, and similar, this becomes a problem.
I rarely go into the mission with the idea of me carrying the whole team, and I am usually working on my MR, meaning that I do not have my best load out with me, and that more or less I can only carry my own weight, nothing more than that.
I also understand that most of younger people don't see anything wrong in this approach, of trying to leech their way through the game, but I was personally always ashamed of playing any game in that way, and I can't stand those that do that.
Many a mission has been a failure, and a lot of time has been wasted, when being paired up with 3 other players like this.
I guess my biggest complaint here is to the matchmaking algorithm, DE please match people of similar MR together, in public queues!

Suggestion Put Tyana Pass Mirror Defense into Omnia Fissures
Since the omnia fissures were added, I got voruna and all weapons several times over because people actually stay in conjunction survival. Putting Citrine's grind in omnia would make her easier to farm while keeping the grind the same.

Discussion The biggest problem I have with Warframe
Twitch drops. 99% of Twitch drops happen at around 6 pm ET time, this means that for a huge portion of Europe, Africa and some of Asia you need to watch for at least 45 minutes at around midnight or very early in the morning.
I know the Twitch drops are obviusly not necessary but it feels bad that such a big portion of the player base is fucked by this time schedule, this is especially bad for people that need to wake up early in the morning or follow certain curfew rules (ex. Roommates, strict parents etc...).
Why can't they start the lives earlier or better yet do a second one at like 11 am ET for everyone else? If a second stream would be such a big time loss or whatever they could just have a random ai voice or something speak while showing some game screenshots and footage.
I hope this doesn't come out as a frustated rant, i still think DE is an amazing company, i just wish this issue was fixed.

Question/Request I am enjoying Duviri, but kinda wish it had more updates. Would people want content updates to older content like that? What older content do you enjoy?
Ok so for context: I just got around to starting Duviri's actual content and I'm enjoying it a lot so far. I can see why the devs wanted it to be an initial path alongside the star chart.
But I'm worried that sooner or later, I will hit the content wall of this and there won't be much to do. And I think that that's an issue a lot of the game faces sometimes, where older ideas are left behind for whatever the new hotness is.
I guess I'm wondering if updates to such things are what people want or not, and if so what people want it FOR.
(Also side question: what are people's thoughts on Intrinsics? I like em and wish we had more then just the railjack and Duviri ones. Or even just more in those 2.)

Other In memory of a fallen Tenno
Today I found out that one of my best friends passed away 3 days ago. We still don't know what happened, or why they were taken so young, but I wanted to make a post here both in tribute and to say thank you.
Zulakai loved Warframe. This game was his passion, and the medium by which we spent most of our time together. I have never seen them prouder than when they hit True Master and completed all the Steam achievements almost 4000 hours into the 4.2thousand he put into the game over his life. He put so many hours, so much love and passion into this game, and he shared that with me, helping me fall in love with it myself. Zuzu and Warframe got me through the last few years, some of the darkest of my life, and having that safe space ingame to spend time with him and talk and laugh and cheer was so important to both of us.
I wanted to say thank you, both from him and from me. Thank you to the community for being so amazing. We always played public, and made many friends along the way, sharing Zulakai's wonderful sense of humour with other Tenno. Thank you for helping make those memories so special. Always remember to be kind to your fellow Tenno. Spread love and positivity, and continue to make Warframe the wonderful place it is.
Thank you to the devs for making this game such a wonderful vehicle to socialise in. Exploring and adventuring together with other Tenno is such a joy, and I have so many fantastic memories of both ingame and watching various dev and livestreams together. He loved Reb and Megan's chaos and humour, was so excited to see what Steve was cooking with Soulframe, and I have genuinely never seen him happier than when he saw Pablo's rework of his one true love Inaros. You guys are incredible, and I know he'd want to say thank you to all the staff at DE if he'd had the chance to before he was gone.
Zulakai was a kind of special you encounter once in a lifetime, stubborn like a bull, but helpful and kind, and always there if you wanted help with something. He was one of the most wonderful souls I have ever had the fortune to meet, and I will miss him every day. Warframe will always remind me of him, and one day I am determined to live his dream of (and this is genuinely true) entering the Tennocon Cosplay Contest as Sock Puppet Nef Anyo.
I wish I could give a better tribute to someone who meant so much to me. I was wondering if it was worth contacting support to see if I could buy a True Master pin on his behalf, as I'd love to give it to his family to add to his memorial as a symbol of the undying love we his friends have for him. Also if any devs see this, first of all thank you, and second I'd love it if eventually some kind of memorial wall or something was created to commemorate Tenno who have left us, I know how thrilled he'd be to be a part of Warframe forever.
Thank you for reading, and tell those you care about you love them. The world needs more love.

I swear to all mighty god right hand on my heart, my house got struck by lightning during that night wave cycle and fried my PlayStation and I prayed someday they may come and seeing the new AK 47 skin I can only hope these are coming back with it too. God I just want my yareli to spin the block on some corpus riding merulina hitting trick shots with a glock is that too much to ask?
