FRIDAY 4:15 ET UPDATE: 
 

 

Tenno,

It is a Holiday Friday but we're deploying a Hotfix on the Playstation Platform to try and help with stability over the long weekend. 
 

• Fog is now a disabled graphics setting as it is suspected to be related to a graphics crash that is impacting stability in any places where enhanced Fog is placed (Arsenal, Entrati Labs). This is a hard-disable and we will not re-enable it in the game until we've fixed the root of the issue.  

Thank you for your patience, Tenno! Apologies for the disruption and instability. 

Tenno!

2024 is here, and with it comes our first Devstream of the year! Join us on January 26 at 2 p.m ET for Devstream #176! We are ready to turn to the next chapter of ‘Whispers in the Walls’ and talk about the next update that goes even deeper into Albrecht Entrati's Laboratories, including a Warframe hidden within. Don’t miss it. 

Earn yourself an Umbra Forma Blueprint Twitch Drop by tuning in!

See you at twitch.tv/warframe on January 26 at 2 p.m ET. 
 

Sorry about that - it's a new issue due to some configs but we will have it sorted out soon!

UPDATE: We are back, but monitoring. 

 

Hey Tenno,

Baro Ki' Teer once again toppled our connectivity infrastructure. This is 2 visits in a row where we have had issues, which we are taking very seriously.  We are investigating again what is causing this so we can avoid such disruptions. Sit tight!

UPDATE: We are back, but monitoring. 

Tenno - our ambitions of delivering Cross Platform Save in 2023 have been a partial success. We are hitting pause. Over 100,000 Tenno have used the feature in the short time that it was open (WOW), but it will not be open over the holidays for stability and technical reasons.

More details on that:

Stability: When we opened the gates on Dec 22, it brought down our operations for just under an hour. We have since fixed this at-scale for now, but we cannot risk it happening again without full-time supervision.

Technical Reasons: On a per-hour basis, we are finding at least 1 major issue being reported that will prevent someone from playing over the holidays. We do not want this to trend in any direction other than down, so we have closed the gates.  

We return in January to re-open and re-allow the feature to be even more user-friendly and stable.

Ap...

Tenno!

What a year it has been for us - Warframe celebrated its 10 Year Anniversary, which is a milestone I never could have imagined when we first launched. We now say goodbye to 2023, and before we go, it’s time to share some thoughts on the past 12 months. The calendar is harshly reminding us how fast time goes by, and it demands retrospective thoughts so we don’t lose sight or perspective. We go into our 11th year next year - we need to bring some learnings with us!  

But first, a question: do you have a favourite Warframe from 2023? Citrine? Kullervo? Dagath? Qorvex? Each of these new Warframes came with an Update of varying complexities and size - we’ve added so much this year and learned even more. Highlights and Lessons were common company with each Update and Hotfix - here are some that stand out to me:  

Highlights:

Hi Tenno!

We mentioned on Devstream #174 that we are considering doing something for newer players that want to play the latest Quest in our next Update on Day 1: A Story-Skip Pack. You can see the conversation in all its rawness in the link! 

We are at a point with this idea that we wanted to bring it up on the Devstream to get a conversation started about what this pack could be / shouldn’t be, which brings us to this thread. 

Where we are right now:
- W...

Happy Holidays, Tenno!

2022 has come to an end - and what a year it has been. A lot has happened this year, some unexpected, and some comfort in the familiar. I’d like to share a quick story about those familiar comforts, then look on to the future. 

Just this fall, our half-decade-old office sourdough starter (lovingly named Igor) made its first loaf of bread for members of the DE team after 2 years of dormancy. For 2 years it sat in a safely chilled container as we all adapted to change - remote working, safety precautions, managing childcare, illness, and more. And as fall turned our leaves to reds and golds, Igor was woken up again when some members of the DE team were ready to go back to the office. And we’re so happy he - and the team - are working the way they want. Be it remote, hybrid, or back in the office full time, the end of 2022 is looking very different than the years before it. We’ve had to adapt to so much. But throughout all of i...

Tenno, 

It’s been a week since our last Friday Update post and we wanted to shed some light on where the development team is at. At this point, Tenno have had the chance to take down both Boreal and Amar and may have even completed Kahl’s first weekly ‘Break Narmer’ Mission to reach Encampment in his Garrison.
 

As this content continues to roll out over the next few weeks, we’ll be looking for ways to improve the player experience, and we already have a few concrete actions we will be taking:

Kahl’s Bonus Challenges are getting some quality-of-life improvements. Firstly, we’re working to ensure that progress in these Challenges will be cumulative. Tenno will be able to partially complete a Challenge (ex: only removing 3 of 5 Veils) and then have that progress counted towards completing the challenge when repeating the mission (i.e. only 2 more Veils would need to be remov...

the game entirely revolves around collecting stuff to upgrade Stats to become better at Killing stuff. and uh, well, it needs to always be like that and not feel like it isn't or is even going in reverse, since Stat upgrades are how you drive all of your Content thusfar and the forseeable future. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yep, also don't want 15 second fights, so onward we quest to solve the million damage excitement vs. bosses.

Warm Friday greetings, Tenno!

We are 2 days into the Veilbreaker release and we have released 2 Hotfixes.

I wanted to go over some continued hot topics and provide insight on where we are on priorities for our next Hotfix.

First - our Hotfix next week brings more Kahl, so look forward to his next weekly adventure soon!
Once this hotfix launches, you will have access to items through a new Character, Chipper and a new Syndicate, Kahl’s Garrison. This Syndicate is not Standing based, and you will simply rank up for doing Kahl’s weekly mission each week. New Mods, Styanax blueprints, new weapon blueprints etc., will be accessible when Kahl’s Break Narmer weekly missions begin. These missions are the only path to obtaining Stock, the currency used in Chipper’s offerings.

Second - Archon Hunts will continue to rotate through on a weekly cadence. While Tenno face off aga...

@[DE]DanielleIs there any plan to fix the Jet Pack on Khal not working? It breaks the game. There are a few people that can not complete the quest until this is fixed. Thanks

If you have rebound your Jump key, you need to use 'Spacebar' no matter what your keybind is while we look into a fix. 

If possible can you drop some screenshots/ visuals for quick reference? 

Tenno,

For over 10 years I’ve been writing posts to you. I’ve always called you Tenno. That will never change. Other things, though, are changing. We’re in a new chapter of Warframe.  I’ve always written from the perspective of someone that has been a steadfast believer in community as a core part of what makes Warframe great. And that belief will stay with me now that I get to work closer with the developers that have made everything possible. If the community has always been the heart of Warframe, the developers have been the soul. 

It is an honor, and an emotional one at that, to be a part of Warframe’s future in the Creative Director role. Even more of an honor is being able to do it with members of the team growing into roles that form Warframe’s new leadership. You know some of this team already, and there are many new faces behind the scenes. They are wonderful people who I deeply respect, and as we work through the transition I know you’ll feel t...

Tenno!

Our May Devstream is happening soon - this week in fact! We will be going over our upcoming Angels of the Zariman follow-up update: Echoes of the Zariman. Join us as we go into what’s coming and when! We’ll cover much of what went into making the Angels of the Zariman and discussing what to expect next. 

Then, something big is coming. TennoCon has been announced - this is our last Devstream until TennoCon 2022! See you on July 16th for our 7th TennoCon! We will give a small preview of how you can best prepare for TennoCon.

Join us on May 27 at 2 p.m ET. 

There will be Twitch Drops - watch to earn yourself a Veiled Riven Cipher!

See you over at twitch.tv/warframe Friday, May 27th at 2 p.m ET!  

Hi Tenno!

Angels of the Zariman has arrived! We rarely emerge from a launch day without a same-day hotfix (we’re working on that), and today has been no different. While we are incredibly excited about the content in this update, we want to be transparent about when you can expect our next hotfix, among a few other things.

Hotfix 35.1.2 is currently scheduled for release on April 28 on all platforms. It will aim to eliminate the major issue with mission failure states for Bounties & more, and we’re reviewing your bug reports now to get it sorted, prioritized, and fixed. If this release date changes, we’ll update this thread. 

Beyond this, we want to make sure that any conversations about difficulty are guided by the reality that we have not taken a leap with base Star Chart difficulty in many years. We felt anything after ‘The New War’ was a good place to dial up the intensity (ideally without dialing up the issues too, but our Hotfixes will f...

Tenno!

It’s time to take a closer look where it all began. Our next Devstream treads deeper into the features of Update 31.5: Angels of the Zariman.

Join us on April 8 at 2 p.m ET and see it all - Gyre in action, more gameplay, and our target release date! Get comfy for a showcase on what is truly one of our biggest updates ever! 

Reminder: Angels of the Zariman  is designed as a direct follow up to The New War, we’ll try our best to avoid major Quest spoilers in this stream! We cannot guarantee you’ll come out spoiler free! 

There will be Twitch Drops - watch to earn yourself 3x Radiant Eidolon Shards!

This is so incredible!
