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

Protea becomes a devastating Warframe when you subsume Nidus' Larva ability, replacing her fourth ability with this devastating CC power. Deploy a Larva near a group of enemies, then summon three Blaze Artillery turrets. The turrets will scale their damage so quickly that they'll be able to one-shot Steel Path enemies after a brief period of continuous f

Eris is overrun by the Infested, parasites that have infected both Corpus and Grineer warriors. These beings like to swarm the player. Considering you’ll be running an Interception mission, this means you’ll be scrambling to take the capture points while dealing with hordes of enemies. This one’s tough, so you’ll want to be level 30

We had a lever, basically, for all intents and purposes, and we saw, you know, a guy pull the lever like 200 times. And it’s just like, ‘oh my dear god, what have we done? We’ve created a slot machine.’ And so you know, it was a couple days I think it took us to take it out - a day, day and a half. That one is a big reg

Path of Exile is a loot-based free-to-play game that is said to be more fun as you progress in the game. At greater difficulties, people can obtain better loot and trade their loot with other players. Many people will prefer Diablo over Path of Exile , but it is an excellent option for those who want to experience the genre without spending mo

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

Your best bet is to have a frame that has good crowd control, can move fast, and can hold each position. Nyx is a great frame, given her mind control abilities; Nova is good; and Rhino can be good for holding an area. This is an interception mission, so feel free to grind through enemies, though blitzing can be a little more interest

Warframe is perhaps one of the best comeback stories in the gaming industry. Despite a pretty rough launch, the game has managed to gain a significant following over the past six years, with multiple expansions, and added content. It's perhaps one of the absolute best free-to-play games available to

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 Missions crew fore

The trailer was revealed at this year's Tennocon, which is essentially E3 if it was only about Warframe . 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

Airburst is Zephyr’s newest ability and is a solid attack. It throws three projectiles forward and damages enemies in a radius upwards of 8 metres, which can be very useful for mobs. It’s not flashy by any means, but it gets the job done. The third ability Turbulence is a good way to ensure Zephyr will survive most encounters. It puts up a wind shield around the character, redirecting any potential damage. It can be a bit pricey on energy, but in a bind, it will save your butt when things get hectic. Finally, Tornado is one of the better aspects of Zephyr, giving her some fantastic crowd control, especially if you combine it with Airburst, which increases their height dramatically. These things can be devastating when you combine them with the interchangeable elemental damage, especially on enemies with high armor. This is maybe a bit too flashy at times as I’ve had my screen engulfed by numerous tornados, but so long as they’re doing what they’re meant to, it’s a good substitute for other CC attacks.

Overall, Zephyr is a balanced Warframe and much better thanks to the adjustments made a couple of months ago. Her Prime release only helps ensure that she isn’t a burden on anyone’s party, and if anything a welcome inclusion. Her first ability isn’t the best for your traditional missions, but she comes with everything you’d hope to see, making her adaptable in most game modes. Really, the only thing Zephyr is missing is party buffs, but she’s more of an attack character anyways. She still may not by my favorite Frame to run with, but her mobility is a blessing in areas such as of Plains of Eidolon.
