Greetings Tenno!

After a long absence due to top-secret New War developments, we’re trying our hand at another Semi-Public Test Cluster weekend. Last year’s updates didn’t lend themselves well to public tests, so we are trying to shake off our cobwebs early with a smaller, simpler Mainline test. Please read the thread in full before replying!

  1. We will be using Steam Keys to access "Warframe Test" - make sure you have a Steam account!
  2. We will be running all surveys and posts in English - you must understand English to participate.
  3. Despite our best efforts, console accounts cannot be copied to our PC test server, so only PC Warframe accounts will be chosen to participate - sorry!
  4. We will be asking for targeted feedback specific to two parts of this Mainline update: general stability, and a 'The New War' Quest related item. Only players who have completed ‘The New War’ will be selected. All players will be given details prior to launch, not just test key holders. This thread will be edited to indicate the subject of testing once it is revealed on Friday’s Devstream.
    EDIT: That's right, the test subject is a replayable New War! 700+ invites have been sent out, please check your in-game inboxes.
  5. Posting here does not guarantee entry - it will be randomized. We are using the forums because we want to ensure potential participants know how to use our forums and have a base understanding covered in this post. 
  6. If this all sounds good to you - simply reply in this Warframe forum thread with "All as one" to be entered. As this is a smaller update than last time, we will be sending out about 500 new Steam Keys for this weekend.

We will be picking accounts randomly from this reply set. Accounts picked that have numerous warnings, reports, or restrictions against them will be removed from the lottery and have their Key given to another random pick. 

Furthermore, due to firewall limitations, we must continue to enforce our past ruling regarding previous testers: If you login to Test during a Public Test weekend, you will still have access next time a Test takes place. If you do NOT login during a Public Test weekend, your Warframe Test access will be revoked, to make room for new players in the future.

All those eligible to participate in weekend testing will receive an inbox message in Warframe later this week. Those removed will no longer have Warframe Test in their Steam libraries. We retain the right to offer permanent spots to proven contributors or other trusted players. 

If your schedule prevents you from logging in this weekend, we apologize, but this strict rotation is the best way to ensure we always have room for more active players during each test. You are welcome to enter in future lottery threads to regain your access!

THIS WARFRAME FORUM THREAD WAS LOCKED AFTER 24 HOURS, AT 15:00 ET ON JANUARY 27TH. STEAM KEYS AND NOTICES OF ACCEPTANCE WERE SENT VIA IN-GAME INBOX ON FRIDAY JANUARY 28TH.

Thanks everyone!
