2020's First Mainline: Review, Revise, Refresh: Part 2!
Tenno,
We are still slated to release this Mainline this week (today on PC, if we're lucky!) but since Friday's workshop, a couple of new or added details have emerged that warrant sharing ahead of launch time.

Why: The conversation surrounding Arcane Guardian led to a significant review of Armor stats on Warfarmes. The Majority of Warframes received an increase in the Armor stat to increase survivability. Compounded with Shield Gating and the numerous other changes covered, we expect a much more fair feeling playing field for all Warframes.
Arcane Guardian Details + Reminders
Arcane Guardian
On Rank 5: On Damaged:
15% chance for +900 Armor for 20s
- Arcane Energize will still give energy to toggled Warframe abilities - this has been asked a lot.
- Arcanes will require 21 Arcanes to reach the new Max Rank of 5. Scarlet Spear will feature a buy-what-you-want shop for Arcanes based on the currency earned in the event. It will launch in March shortly after the Mainline.
Depth of Status Changes
Our original Workshop said the following:
"In further additions, previously unstackable Status Effects (Puncture, Cold, Magnetic, Radiation, Viral) will now have stacking effects. We'll have more information on this later as it develops!"|
This Part 2 serves to provide that information. In a way,the Status changes are much bigger than just 'give >100% Status meaning'. While getting 2 Status Effects on a single shot is a novel change, the way Status' will now Stack is likely going to be more noticeable:
We have made substantial changes to not only adding stackable Status Effects to those Status' without it, but also changing some existing:
Type/ Stacking Behaviour when a duplicate Status Effect Occurs:
Slash- Each Slash Status has its own duration, but now we only show a maximum of 10 damage numbers in the HUD, damage is unaffected, but reducing how many damage events we show helps with performance
Impact- Repeat single-target Impact Status Effects will escalate the efficacy of the Impact Status (from Stagger to full Ragdoll).
Puncture- The first Puncture Status Effect has an enemy deal 30% less Damage. Subsequent Puncture Status add +5% weakening, leading to up to 75% (capped). Each Puncture Status has a duration of 6 Seconds.
Cold- The first Cold Status Effect deals 25% slow. Subsequent Cold Status Effects deal +5% slow for a total of 70% slow at 10 procs. Each Cold Status has a duration of 6 seconds.
Heat- No Change.
Toxin- See Slash, plus the base duration of a Toxin Status Effect now matches Slash for 6 seconds.
Electric- AoE Electric Damage that is part of the Status Effect can now reoccur while the target is still under the stun animation of another Electric Status Effect.
Blast- AoE Impact that goes through enhanced stages of Crowd Control and Knockdown with repeat Status.
Corrosive- The first Corrosive Status Effect strips 26% Armor. Subsequent Corrosive Status Effects strip 6% more Armor, leading up to 80% Armor removal.
Each Corrosive Status Effect lasts 8 seconds.
Note: Corrosive was the only Status with infinite Duration and 100% Efficacy toward a defensive stat. This was necessary to some based on how Armor Scaled. We feel our rebalancing efforts need a differently behaving Corrosive to balance out all Status overall.
Radiation- The first Radiation Status Effect has an enemy deal 100% Damage to allies. Subsequent Radiation Status adds +50% damage, leading to up to 550% (capped). Each Radiation Status Effect has a duration of 12 seconds.
Magnetic- New Status Effect entirely: enhanced Damage! First Magnetic Status Effect deals 100% additional Shield damage, subsequent Magnetic Status add +25% for a total of 325% (capped). Enemies under a Magnetic Status Effect cannot regenerate Shields. Magnetic Status Duration is now 6 seconds.
Viral- New Status Effect entirely: enhanced Damage! First Viral Status Effect deals 100% additional Health damage, subsequent Viral Status add +25% for a total of 325% (capped).
Note: Before Viral would halve a target's health pool and simply refresh the duration. Now it deals 2x Damage to Health, and can scale up to 4.5x Damage on repeat Status Effects.
Gas- The base duration of a Gas Status Effect now matches Slash for 6 seconds.
Why: The inclusion of enhanced or different stacking of Duplicate Status Effects is one to refresh the appeal of Status. Our long-term goal with this change is to build upon this series of changes to allow Status to impact bigger threats like Liches and Eidolons and not just have blanket Immunity.
Faction Aura Changes
There are 3 Auras that target specific Factions:
Infested Impedance, Corrosive Projection, and Shield Disruption.
We are rebalancing the faction Auras to not completely bypass our rebalancing effort. More importantly though, with the complete Enemy defenses rescale these Auras (mostly Corrosive Projection) will not be as necessary as they were.
Why: We think being consistent is key. Passively removing 100% of an enemy's defenses is not an interesting choice, and we were completely inconsistent in this regard with Auras (i.e the efficacy of 4x Corrosive Projections vs 4x Shield Disruptions). Expect these Auras to reach somewhere in the 60-80% Range when 4x are equipped as we are still testing.
Self Damage + AoE Weapons
In addition to Self Damage being removed, some of the more powerful AOE weapons without Self Damage presently will have the Stagger added, but it should only be noticeable in cases of extreme inaccuracy on the player's part. The Weapons include:
Kuva Chakkurr
Opticor
Opticor Vandal
Battacor
Simulor
Synoid Simulor
Ferrox
Astilla
Shedu
Kuva Seer
Cyanex
Staticor
Pox
Tombfinger
Granmu Prism
Exard Scaffold
In the original Dev Workshop, we said:
As a result of this overall systemic change, Weapons with Stagger will be getting approximately a 20% buff in Damage, with any weapons with AOE receiving a 50% Radial Damage Falloff from central impact.
This is no longer accurate after continued testing. What we are doing now is:
No damage buffs have been added, but any weapons with AOE are receiving ~20% increase in Radius. Additionally, AOE weapons are receiving a 90% Radial Damage Falloff from central impact. This means on the very outer section of the explosion Radius 10% of the Damage will be dealt. Tactics will be deadly - aim true, Tenno.
Why: Several players brought up the history of the Tonkor and we want to make sure we ship this change in a place that's conservative in its starting point from a balance perspective. The complete removal of Self Damage does change the pace of destruction with some of the game's most powerful weapons, so we want to make sure we can iterate upwardly instead of releasing a bonanza of explosions with no other choices.
Closing
This post serves as an expansion to the big picture changes coming in Mainline - please ensure you review the original post! We really are changing a lot of the accrued staleness to Warframe's systems to refresh the Modding and gameplay. We will have 15+ Feedback Threads open after the launch, as well as dedicated Bug reporting threads. See you then, Tenno! We are very excited for the whole package of revisions.
I've been told Atlas' passive should counteract the stagger but it feels inconsistent for me.
So I fell off the preverbial Warframe horse on Switch and came back to Exilus mod slots on weapons. I bought one off the market since I had a 75% off coupon. Trying to decide which weapon would make the most use of it. Worth it on the Ignis Wraith , Arca Plasmor, Amprex favorites or should i hold on to it for something else?
I'm semi-casual and haven't cleared some of the higher end content. MR13
Ok thanks. I assume only weapon mods marked as exilus can be slotted in that slot . I can't thorw in an extra status mod?i think the best use case for them is for weapons that chew through ammo and need ammo mutations to make sure you don't run out. secondary ones would be recoil decrease or projectile speed increase. doesn't seem like any of those weapons fall into those categories though (maybe arca and projectile speed but it's pretty good as is), so it might be best to save it

It's more in the design, the night form has always been the more effeminate, dressy one.
- In Exploiter Orb, we get disconnected from each other 100% of the time if either of us hosts. I believe it would work if someone else hosts, but I'm not sure.
This would happen when I tried doing missions on the Plains with my housemate. He didn't stick with the game long so we didn't try finding a solution but I assume being on the same network might have been an issue. Maybe if you try changing ports?
so due to coronavirus, the in-person portion of TennoCon is canceled
Due to the widespread concerns surrounding Coronavirus (COVID-19), we've made the difficult decision to cancel the attendee event portion of TennoCon 2020. While this was not an easy decision for us to make, the health and well-being of our players and our development team is our top priority.
Sharing the magic and excitement of TennoCon is still incredibly important to us.
We are putting together plans that will enable every Tenno worldwide to digitally share in the magic and excitement of TennoCon on July 11. We'll have more details to share soon.
I'm fucking bummed, was looking forward to it again this year, had been planning on meeting a bunch of friends. However we hadn't made any bookings yet so it's not a financial loss.
Like I get it, but damn.
Started a few days ago and really like it. The movement, shooting, and overall speed is pretty impressive. I may not be playing 100% of the time since I want to play other games but I'll be happy to comeback to this during down periods in game release.
Question: What are some things, during the early game, should I avoid from what I shouldn't pay for, weapons I should hold on to, and activities that are either too early for my or just not worth the reward.

I continue to be impress with the game's cinematic when first getting to Orb Vallis.
Due to being cooped up in the house I really want to give this game a chance. I played about a year ago, have a Frost Prime(must have gotten from Twitch or something, don't remember ever making a frame.) Are there any good resources out there to help me figure out this game again?
Thanks! I think I'm not awful enough to play with other people. Can I get a Clan invite? EleventyBGames is my name.Googling "Warframe beginner's guide" brings up about a million videos, so the biggest issue is probably choosing between them. Or, if you have the free time, just watch them all. :) Besides that, you're going to spend half of your play time looking at the wiki, it's just what it is. If you can make peace with that, you'll be OK.
In very general terms: get into the Era Dojo (guild) if you haven't. Keep doing missions to open up the star chart and the junctions. Ignore Cetus / Plains of Eidolon / Fortuna / Orb Vallis until pretty much the endgame. Do the quests that you can complete easily, if any of them seems to take too much time, ignore it until later. If you have any specific question, don't hesitate to ask.
Also, to everyone in general that needs help with pretty much anything: contact me in-game if you see me. I'm running out of things to do in the game and I'd love to help some Era bros and sis out there. :D
