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
The Equinox has powerful abilities on the field of battle, and both forms have their uses. In Night form, the Equinox can put enemies to sleep, decrease their damage, and can heal allies with every enemy kill. In her Day form, the Equinox can lower enemies’ defenses, grant a buff to allies' ability strength, and deal a brutal slashing attack that bleeds enem

Game developers have been hard-pressed to find innovative ways to increase revenue earned from titles, but today's story is something else entirely: the developer of Warframe removed a microtransaction because it proved too successful. While some studios purposefully target high-spending gamers (who hold the industry nickname of "whales"), one man's click-happy purchase binge changed the philosophy of the Warframe crew fore

It’s all about managing your Rift and which dimension you’re in. You’re even able to shift in and out of dimensions by rolling (or in Limbo’s case, it’s more of a dash), which leaves behind a portal for teammates to use. He’s a very unique character to play as, and works surprisingly well for both solo and cooperatively play. While playing solo, you can enter a safe zone where all damage is void, which helps in sticky situations. Cooperatively you can freeze enemies in place and even allow your friends to enter the rift – great for activities such as defense or excavation. He’s incredibly fun to play as if you get him down, one that does require some work, but you’ll be rewarded in doing so. Outside of how he plays, Limbo Prime comes with a higher shield capacity, which if you’re skilled enough, you probably won’t even need all that much, along with an increase of armor, and your energy pool. It also comes with an extra two polarities, ensuring you won’t need to Forma him too many times.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg for Warframe ’s global expansion. Just this March, [[https://Warframebase.com/ Warframe missions|Https://warframebase.com/]] ’s total player base grew to nearly 50 million players --the highest it’s ever been--thanks to massive expansions that add open-world combat and massive, raid-style boss encount
Well, that didn't take long. Hot on the heels of DC Universe Online Executive Producer Larry Liberty calling the PS4 "a great platform for MMOs," Sony has announced several MMOs are headed to their next-gen sys
Last year, Warframe came to the Nintendo Switch in a move that was so technically amazing that we’re still not quite sure how it was done. Warframe is not a light game by any means--some of the latest open-world updates can tax a mid-range PC--but it runs so smoothly on the portable system that it boggles the m
Developer Digital Extremes isn’t slowing down. They plan to add more space combat later this year with the Railjack expansion, remaster Jupiter’s Gas City map, as well as adding ever more Warframes and weapons for players to gobble up and mas
Starting with the Warframe itself, last year’s rework did a number on Limbo. Because of this, Limbo has become a strong contender for one of the best Warframes to play as, but it comes at the cost of a higher difficulty curve. There are frames such as Ember or Rhino where their skillset is pretty straightforward in what they do, and fairly easy to play as. Limbo on the other hand requires a little bit more skill to properly utilize. The whole idea with Limbo is that he is able to move and send others between dimensions through a Rift. You’re able to trap enemies within the Cataclysm bubble, not unlike Frost’s defensive bubble, and nullify damage attacks from outside. This pairs amazingly well Limbo’s second ability which essentially freezes everyone inside the bubble, although they’re no longer able to take damage outside of the existing damage-over-time, and melee. The first and third abilities are a little trickier to work with, as Banish literally sends enemies to the other dimension, which can cause some confusion for other teammates who are unfamiliar with how Limbo works, and Rift Surge attaches itself to those inside the Rift and essentially helps suck in more attackers whenever someone is killed.
Deletions:
Of the colossal roster, Zephyr has been one of the least popular and least sought after Warframes. Granted, there have been far less appealing Frames in the past, such as Hydroid and Limbo, but Digital Extremes continues to rebalance characters so they better fit into specialized areas of the content, and that’s exactly what has happened with Zephyr. Almost two months ago, Zephyr received a rework that combined two of her abilities and an additional one in its place. It was something that Warframe needed, especially considering her capabilities were less than appealing. With her rebalance, the developers have released a Primed version of Zephyr and with it comes a slightly altered appearance and enhanced stats.
Cephalon are essentially powerful artificial intelligences created during the Orokin-era. Some, such as Cephalon Ordis, control a ship’s systems and essentially make it so the occupants needn’t perform any action to maintain the ship. Others, such as Cephalon Suda and Simaris, are just powerful beings that try to acquire as much knowledge as possible, albeit through somewhat different meth

SOE's Senior Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing, Laura Naviaux, says that "players have been asking for PlanetSide 2 to be playable on consoles, and PS4 is the ideal platform to showcase the game's beauty, depth, and frenetic open world comb
Pyrana Prime is arguably one of the best sidearms in the game. If there’s a good combo out there, it has to be a short ranged weapon, such as the Tigris shotgun, alongside an automatic rifle or submachine gun, such as the Akstiletto. That combo in particular worked amazing for myself, until I recently switched to the Supra Vandal assault rifle, which makes the Pyrana Prime the perfect sidearm. Not only does it have a widespread of so many pellets, but it’s essentially an automatic, as holding down the left mouse button will blow through a horde of enemies in a matter of seconds. Like the many other Prime weapons, there are some advantages and disadvantages when compared to its standard version. The biggest, and really only two disadvantages to the Pyrana Prime is that it deals less damage and has a slower fire rate. This is fortunately made up with a higher accuracy, crit chance/multiplier, magazine size, and status chance. In addition, the reload speed is 20% quicker and most importantly, the damage fallout is much wider, with a larger spread. It also comes in the all too familiar black and white color scheme, along with the gold trim. When using an assault rifle, this immediately gets assigned to the secondary slot.
There are a lot of Cephalon Fragments. Specifically, you will need to scan 223 Fragments in total. Each planet has a specific number of Fragments that must be scanned before another entry is loaded into your codex and more of Warframe ’s lore is revea
In game terms, each Cephalon Fragment contains a piece of a larger picture. Depending on the specific planet you are on in the solar system, you might need 3, 5, or even 7 fragments to unlock a piece of hidden lore. Once completed, each Fragment is displayed in the Universe Tab of your Codex, and each contains a larger picture and a brief description of what the image displ
But again, each map is randomly generated using these tiles, so you never know where a Cephalon Fragment will be at the beginning of a mission. Meticulously searching each tile will eventually lead to finding the Cephalon Fragment, but there is a slightly easier
Earth and Venus have 9 Fragments to scan, while Ceres, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Lua, and The Void all have 10 Fragments. Mars, Phobos, Europa, and Saturn all have 15 Fragments, while Pluto and Sedna have 14. Eris and the Orokin Derelict are the hardest places to complete with 21 Fragments e
In the end, the latest Prime update for [[https://Warframebase.com/ warframe frames|Https://warframebase.com/]] is a worthy one. Outside of status damaging tornados, Zephyr is perhaps spread out a bit too thin, not necessarily doing anything better than anyone else. With that said, she is well rounded and a fast character to play as, so you’ll have a good variety of abilities at your disposal. She can glide, blast enemies, protect herself and take care of mobs with ease. What more do you want? Outside of the character herself, the Kronen Prime is unfortunately a less than ideal melee weapon thanks to it being outclassed in almost every situation, but on the positive side, Tiberon Prime is a phenomenal main weapon to bring into almost any scenario. Digital Extremes has done a fantastic job reworking Zephyr and giving her own Prime version; you probably won’t find her in the meta anytime soon, but she’s still a strong addition to the immense catalogue regardless.
June has been one heck of a month for Warframe. Not only did we receive the long awaited Umbra Excalibur, which was nicely wrapped around compelling story missions, but we also picked up a brand new Prime update that should have a number of players happy. Limbo as a Warframe came out just under four years ago (44 months to be exact), and he wasn’t the most popular because his abilities could be detrimental to a team if not done properly. Fortunately, he had gotten better last year, and it only seems fit that he should be the next on the list to receive a Prime. Based on the scheduling, it could have easily been Chroma or Mesa, or someone a little further down the pipeline, but considering those two are already overly appealing, it might be better to give Limbo some love. We’ve taken a look at how this update holds up, and what stands out above all else.
