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

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

When Carter and the rest of the development staff looked at the ~$137 purchase history of a man who really, really wanted to find the perfect fur pattern for his in-game pet, they realized they had essentially created a slot machine that impulsive players would gamble away significant amounts of money on. While many studios would consider this a big win, Digital Extremes made the decision that this kind of activity wasn't healthy for the playerbase in the long run. As Carter explained, it wasn't long before the 'gambling fur randomizer' was removed from the game entir

Various mods in the game will provide an ability called Loot Radar, such as Loot Detector, Thief’s Wit, and Animal Instinct. Using these mods will cause certain items to appear on your minimap once you get close enough to detect them. Combining all of these mods will allow you to run through a map with a reasonable certainty of spotting the Cephalon Fragment on your mini

The trailer was revealed at this year's Tennocon, which is essentially E3 if it was only about Warframe patch Notes|Https://warframebase.com/ . The trailer is sort of a prologue to the game itself, and it helps new players get better acquainted with the world they're about to drop i

As you can see, Grendel is basically Warframe ’s Kirby. A grosser, more murderous version of Kirby to be sure, but he’s still just Kirby with a scarier face. Which is sort of in-theme for Halloween, now that we think of it. That’s not to say that Grendel will be bad, per se. Kirby is a beloved character, after all. Just that Grendel might seem a little uninspi

Over the last year, not only have we received the massive Plains of Eidolon expansion pack for Warframe, but we’ve also got numerous character updates. Octavia and Harrow are absolutely wonderful support Frames, with Gara being an alright addition, whereas someone like Hydroid not only got his Primed version, but was reworked to be a phenomenal character to have in a party. Zephyr has received a similar treatment as she recently picked up a rework to make her flow better in combat and traversal. The latest quarterly Prime update has come and with it we now have a Zephyr Prime to find in the drop tables. We’re taking a look at what the latest update brings and whether or not Zephyr Prime is worth your time.

Warframe is getting its first fat frame. While some characters have been described as "thicc" or "phat," Grendel is unabashedly chunky. And while most other Warframes are loosely based off of Japanese samurai or ninjas, Grendel’s look is pretty obviously modeled after Sumo wrestlers. Just look at the way he sto

Along with Zephyr, players can also get the Primed versions of both Tiberon and Kronen. Of the two, despite being more of a shotgun player, Tiberon Prime has become one of my personal favorite main weapons. It might seem like a slightly supped up version of the Tiberon, but it’s so much more than that thanks to the three different firing modes. You can switch between Burst, Semi and Auto fire rates, allowing you to go into any situation and have no problem getting out of it. So if you’re looking to pick someone off with a high crit-rate and multiplier, then semi will do the trick (especially great for less agro characters such as Loki). If you get swarmed by enemies and just need to spread your clip fast, then auto is readily at your disposal, and it certainly helps it also has a higher status chance. Finally, burst is what we’ve come to know from this weapon in the past, and it’s just as powerful and capable of taking down individual targets. There’s really a mode for every situation, and a formidable weapon to bring into combat.

Microtransactions have been an increasingly touchy subject for gamers in the last few years, especially since Star Wars Battlefront 2 found itself in the spotlight after DICE pushed consumers too far. 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
