The MMO shooter Warframe is getting a big update. And it is so extensive that most players are quite impressed – because it fulfills a lot of wishes.
What kind of update is this? In a very extensive blog post, the developers presented the update that is supposed to go live on PC next week. It primarily involves numerous “quality-of-life” changes aimed at improving the gaming experience.
Originally, the Warframe team planned to bring the update with the event “Operation Scarlet Spear” starting in March. This is supposed to be the largest operation in Warframe so far – and will present players with plenty of new challenges.
Therefore, they decided to release the update earlier so that players can already get accustomed to the extensive changes. Recently, the “Empyrean” update brought a lot of new content.
What’s in the update? Besides many bug fixes, several gameplay elements have been optimized. A small selection:
- Fewer resources are required to build the Railjack.
- The damage types Slash and Toxin have been adjusted.
- Players can no longer harm themselves.
- The enemy AI is not supposed to feel like it has an aimbot when particularly strong.
- Players can no longer be defeated in one hit if they have a shield.
- Titania’s abilities have been revamped.
- Arcanes can now reach 5 ranks instead of 3.
- The field of view has been expanded.
In addition, there are plenty of other changes that the developers mentioned in their post.
Players are almost completely thrilled
How are the players reacting? The vast majority of players express great excitement about the changes in the comments. Many are positive that Warframe is taking a step forward with the update:
- “These changes will surely greatly improve the gameplay. I feel like the update hits the mark perfectly. Small things like the 90-degree field of view are huge and dramatically alter players’ perspectives on gameplay,” user Voltage expresses joy.
- “These are some of the biggest changes the game has seen in a long time, and I’m excited about every single one of them. Fantastic stuff,” agrees user –Q–Dioxety.
- “Finally, some of these things have been a long time coming,” finds user PETI258.
There are also some players who desire further changes or are not entirely satisfied with the update. For instance, some players felt that the adjustment of the Arcanes was unnecessary.
However, overall the update is well received by the commentators. Only time will tell if the Scarlet Spear event can meet expectations. After all, Warframe is now one of the successful games, which wasn’t always the case.
