I didn’t get a screenshot of it but if you were in the tennocon relay near the end of the stream they did something that put all the players into a little dance animation all at once, and if you brought your kubrow into the relay, it... also did the dance. Just, the same animations applied to the kubrow model.

Excuse me it is nonbinary, referred to with the singular they. :colbert:

Could well be the plural they, come to think of it.

If you’re on switch, having a custom name that’s too long will give you the profanity error.

You’re using link health/shields/armor, right? Got Pack Leader too?

Wukong changes not so bad - clone does half damage, can be staggered (although PSF still prevents) and (I missed this part) I believe will also respect ammo limits? No other significant changes.

Wuclone uses your ammo, specifically.

AOE nerfs include a general ammo drop system change (moving to just primary/secondary) and making it so explosions can’t deal headshots. Headshots are being buffed for other weapons.

Oh also I don’t think it’s been mentioned yet but armor stripping is being changed to be additive, not multiplicative. If you strip 50% armor twice that’ll be all the armor instead of 75%

Considering it will most likely be things like damage, str, range, and duration, yes. Like for example one of the confirmed utility ones is energy regen, and considering the health regen one in defense is over double what the aura gives, we can probably expect ~1.5 energy a second per energy regen crystal.

I think they just said that one of them would buff energy pickups, like a smaller arcane energize.

I remember during the announcement stream someone in the chat was going on about how that for 5 shard per warframe did DE really expect players to be doing this every week for the next 5 years??? and first of all yes but also why on earth would you be trying to keep and fully shard one of each frame in the game

I like the khal mission format so far. For those that haven’t played it, they’re single missions with challenges for faction currency, and you can repeat that week’s mission so you can clear all the challenges. Hopefully they refine the challenges so half of them aren’t “find all the hidden objects”

Also it feels like they’ve got the balance down pretty good with the fixed player stats. I hope they keep making boss fights out of enemies that are normally minor annoyances.

It’s additive with crit chance mods, yes

So, I'm confused about the latest stuff schedule. Archon hunts start on Wednesday, which is weird but ok. But doesn't Kahl stuff start on Mondays? Yersterday it was still the old one, so I guess I was mistaken.

Like, couldn't they just start every weekly thing on Monday? Just make current ones last a bit longer and then sync up poo poo.

No; you had it right- they delayed this week’s khal mission to fix parts of it. They’re saying it’ll sync up with archon hunts for now, and they’re planning on moving both to Sundays later to sync up with the nightwave turnover.

I liked their choice for the final boss of this week but I wish the reveal had come with a more satisfying conclusion. There wasn’t even any acknowledgment once the fight was over.

Also just a heads up, there’s two somachords to find in this mission instead of one.

Always bring a good secondary and he'll just absolutely ruin enemies near him. I like the cyanex because of the homing.

I usually stick to kuva nukor for that but now I’m wondering how he’d do with an aegrit without the ammo limit

Does the ally ai know how to use alt fire?

Just every now and then dropping a line that implicates she’s the exact same one as the one in Warframe: Regular


I’ve seen a few people talking about Wally vs Albrecht but I feel like it’s pretty clear that’s not the actual man in the wall walking around? He’s got two pretty distinct looks, one is the tragic masonry accident and one would’ve been Arthur But Creepy in that scene. On the other hand, we’ve seen people under his influence after meeting him, so I think we’re seeing both of them there. I think Albrecht lost.



Also calling that Warframe 1999 is gonna be some kind of time loop plot. One is Aoi completely unprompted shouting out “boy, wouldn’t it be nice if we could start over from the beginning???” and also at the end of the demo the date ticks over to Jan 1st 2000, but the thing’s called Warframe 1999 and that just don’t add up.

It will also put litter all over your map and screen.

I have not figured out what the deal with the acolyte-ish thing that spawns during it is, though. It seems like you just kill its first health bar and then have to find a book to actually kill it and get a mod or something, but I have not figured out what the clue is for where the book is.

It’s got a map marker, but only while the enemy itself is down and recovering.

Should I be putting the max corrosion stack bonus from green emerald shards on Saryn, or just sticking to the ability damage bonus to corroded enemies?

I'd love to know how Doctor Ducati is kicking around with a partially-warframed dude in 1999 if Ballas invented warframes. A guy slowly turning into Excalibur doesn't make a lot of sense in that timeframe, it's way too early for any of this to exist! It would mean that Ballas is a twentieth century guy! What the heck!

For anyone who hasn’t gotten the latest lore fragments (and doesn’t mind spoilers) Warframe 1999 is some time travel nonsense; Albrecht brought back the Helminth strain as a “cure” for select individuals. He even refers to the strain as “Ballas’s Warframes”.

However, it’s also entirely possible Ballas is a twentieth century guy.
