verdict

THAT VORUNA PRIME TRAILER IS LITERALLY LITCHERALLY "1999 if Operator Abi had gone back instead"

like

Primes

Hildryn Prime (see below since apparently tumblr won’t let me put an image in the middle of a paragraph): we love primed abs. I love the aesthetic so much, especially that circular horn:

ahhh the larkspur prime is GORGEOUS

the alt Shade Prime helmet has antlers...

DUVIRI~!

flavour-wise, I am already so hyped for Duviri. the emotion spirals are such a neat mechanic

the combat-only number big hounds on r/warframe are going to be so excited at the option for matchmaking without side activities

Notes from the live circuit run:

the Duviri loading screen is so pretty 🥺

one of her loadout options is the Stalker??

the kaithe with the bug helmet looked so good I SQUEALED

I didn't previously recognize naming the horse Roach, but for those who didn't bother to Google, it's a reference to the Witcher

upcoming gardening area you say??? 👀

at ~ 1.5k hours I feel like I'm finally starting to get into melee stances, so getting melee stance progression is pretty hype; my partner told me to temper my expectations because they look rather soulsian, and I tend to hate soulsian influences bleeding into my games lol As an aside: to answer a long-left-unanswered question from @pink-beast-rhino​, I historically dislike dark-souls-type boss battles, and I therefore hated fighting the Archons in TNW. I found them difficult to the point of mind-numbing frustration. Which is why I won't go back to an Archon Hunt because like. Why. It’s just not fun for me.

you can play warframes you don't own? holy FUC

seriously though the duviri randomized loadout is SUCH a neat idea that I am eager to get my hands on (this coming from someone who tended to play mostly Random Heroes in my Overwatch days)

Duviri appears to have its own gilded UI which I am kind of excited for

my partner got really excited at seeing the Drifter parry a melee strike

speaking of dark souls, the drifter not having shields makes me nervous

I do not know how to feel about Maw-Fishing.

the Decrees seem well thought-out, I'm excited to engage in that system!

the void space before entering the Undercroft looks even more reminiscent of the void in Dishonored (which it always has been)

Incarnon system changes:

lmao @ Pablo acknowledging the incarnon weapon leaks

I mean I will never complain about seeing Cavalero <3

it's very much in line with riven system (rubber-banding weaker old weapons to make them still viable in late-game content) but still a welcome surprise (or at least it was for me when I saw the leaks back in December lol)

more cosmetics at the end

"what is a scarf when it's on your groin?" - Pablo

again, the reddit bros will be happy about the beards, I've seen a lot of people asking for beards

they made the drifter armor no longer gender-locked!!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏

it is weird to me the new drifter skins are not voidshell skins, given that duviri is so thematically tied to the void

the Wisp deluxe concept is.....also quite butt-forward.... 😬 I have nothing against hot butt obviously, but people already sexualize her so much it makes me uncomfy, and the devs don’t discourage it really.
