As a "Closed Beta" Player and a founder. i will outright say that this game has been a journey and a half and it will continue to be for a long time. il try to break it down and NOT make a wall of text but for a quick TLDR, i whole heatedly recommend trying this game!

The Gameplay loop alone is what is going to keep you interested and maintained within the game for the longest amount of time. there is by no means a shortage of interesting gameplay aspects and systems. However "New Players" may find it overwhelming!

"Platinum" the premium currency of the game is the currency you will be acquiring throughout your entire journey. Yes you can "ACQUIRE" Plat as a F2P, And as much as you like. it just comes down to dedication and knowing what to farm if you want to gain a massive influx. Plat is used to purchase a plethora of things however EVERYONE will always recommend to newer players that you keep it specifically for weapon and warframe slots. You also use plat to purchase things from other players as there is a trading system.

The economy / MTX is such highly praised to the point that there is a reason why warframe is regarded as the best and fairest F2P game when it comes to this aspect!

It will run fine on alot of hardware. Doing endurance runs or being in a party with heavy particle (Flashy) effect may net you a steep performance impact. i manage 144fps but with endurance runs with me hosting i can see my FPS drop to about 80 with high action within the vicinity of squadmates.

There is a boat load of content that progression can get muddled at a certain point within the game, That being said. New player progression is pretty straight forward. you will be taking it very easy and casually clearing the star chart and doing quest until you get to steel path which changes pace for new players. Remember to do your arbitration newbro's

The true endgame is Fashion... Which we call "FashionFrame" if you think youve hit endgame. then you havent even seen the end of it!

The NPE is honestly a hit or miss for some people. DE (Digital Extremes) could take measure to improve upon this aspect so that it may hold better retention but there is alot they would need to do that im not quite sure if it could help them. The game does an okay job at explaining the core basics regarding combat and the movement system, However there seems to be frequent problems in visual providing context and or identifying something at a glance for alot of stuff.

The most common issue being "The Market", New players will see it and outright think you need plat for everything. The game does NOT do a good enough job at helping visually identify to newer players that.. "you dont need to spend plat on these weapons" etc.. Hell ive seen far too many people now not know that there is options to get blueprints from certain weapons in the market. And this is where a core problem arises. Without a new player being guided and going in blind they take 1 look and might not immediately get the right impression. They are mislead in a sense!

i will always recommend this game when i can but i understand its not for everyone. Depending on how you approach games like these you may be sucked into not liking that there is over 500+ weapons and closely approaching 60 unique frames (NOT COUNTING PRIMES). That can be extremely overwhelming especially to new players. But i think its important to emphasis that taking it slow and at your own pace is always whats recommended. New players will frequently get confused on ALOT of aspects of the game, However i would stress the importance of a clan / community that can help answer your questions

Comments will be allowed if there is any questions or concerns people may have so that either me or others may provide answers to
