    it has a tony hawk mode, flappy bird, and guitar hero, recently it added a boy band with a few singles. Not shocking they’d go somewhere else goofy

    Okay but seriously, why are there old trenches on Tau? I can buy that the Orokin, constant assholes that they were, came to Tau along the solar rails to kill the Sentients they created and claim their new solar system. That contradicts a lot of the old lore, but makes some logical sense. They presumably have the Tenno at this point though, and they have the Infestation; why would their tactics involve trench warfare? They could virus bomb a site from orbit and then send Tenno in to annihilate anything that still moved. Trench warfare isn’t really efficient, there’s a reason we don’t really see it anymore, and the Orokin have tech far, far beyond what we have today.

    Also if this update doesn’t let us finally see The Sounding of the Naga Drums I will be very sad.

        A lot of that is due to the Russian military secretly being incompetent since the Cold War. If you have proper air or space forces and know how to properly use them, then trenches aren’t very useful

    I’d taken a little break from Warframe, started playing a few years ago and got to 1,200 hours. Went online to watch Tennocon (the yearly Warframe convention) which was the 10th one, so big stuff was shown. I wouldn’t say I had gotten bored of the game, just needed to breathe for a bit, but man did they reawaken my excitement for it with everything. There is no game like it, and no developer like Digital Extremes. They’re as close to perfect as you could get, which isn’t completely perfect but pretty damn close (at the very least compared to other AA/AAA studios).

      Personally, I just can’t get back into it. I quit back in 2019 when the chat mods went fully insane and quit/fired and players were getting really toxic about Nyx pre-rework

      It doesn’t help that I started back when the meta was focussed on crowd control, and witb so many damage-focussed frames they’ve been made largely irrelevant. Plus the open world stuff and extra equipment grinds that came with them just don’t click with me
