My thought on Duviri as a new player was that it's simply not representative of the majority of the game. It's not bad, but outside of Duviri, very little of what you learn gameplay-wise doesn't ever come back.

I think it also says something about how powerful a Warframe compared to a "normal" human are also... When you hit your 5 and transforms into a Warframe in duviri you feel like a god one shoting everyone in sight 😂

As a warframe vet, I enjoyed the way they told the story within this new game mode.

One small nitpick, the drifter didn't create duviri on their own but was recreating it from stories they heard from Euleria aka Gomaitru aka Mother in Deimos.

I love duviri because it’s so weird. But I just started playing this year so it’s all new to me. But I’ve gotten the hang of things. Plus my brothers been playing for years so it’s good to basically have a live-in tutor.

If the combat is going to be slowed down to such a degree with drifter, I have to really like the feel of it. It's just not there at the moment and just makes me feel like I could be getting better elsewhere.

Duviri helped me as a veteran with 700+ hours into liking weapons i initially wrote off as mr fodder that i actually love the control of, it feels good to me especially when you play solo or with a friend and go your pace

I came to Warframe when Duviri got released, and started my game in this mode. I played through the whole story before going into the main game, and I loved it. :) The problem I have with it is that controls work differently than the main game, when fighting as the operator, and going back and forth between the main game and the Duviri Paradox makes my brain freeze a little every time I have to fight.

I 100% agree with you about the undercroft. Everytime I get to that part it justs annoys me

with kullervo added, there's a bunch of quiz tablets around duviri now, on the amphitheater, i think, the right answer for what duviri is, it's a guide to managing emotions while under void exposure (just paraphrasing, don't know the exact wording), so its not just a storybook or a story the drifter personally made, but it's like protocol for accidents like the one on the zariman, with a story tied to it for children to understand the process maybe

Glad Im not the only one who wants a drifter only mode. I do hope they add 1 or 2 more emotions, and along side another warframe to grind for. Because if your just grinding Kullervo you can only do it on like 3 cycles so theres no reason to play the paradox, unless your on those cycles. So adding another Warframe to the paradox on diffrent cycles would give you somthing to always be working towards, at least for your first 20-30 hours or so. Plus the OST for the Paradox is the only music I play in my orbiter

I think the best way to describe Duviri is as a diet Elden Ring. Has a lot of good and well polished ideas and elements. However it still suffers from a lack of a fully cohesive narrative and focuses on having a lot of said elements and ideas but not connected enough to each other. Crimes of Kullervo does fix some of those story and idea issues but still needs more content.

As a new player, Duviri was the first real "fun" I had playing Warframe. Instead of stuck behind wall after wall after grind after grind, this lets you jump right in, play with warframes, weapons, and just have fun. It's definitely far from perfect, but it's one of my favorite parts of the game

My favourite activity in Duviri is collecting all decrees and then running around the map like I’m sonic. XD

Great video! I actually understand whats going on in Duviri :D also absolutely love Duviri, leveled all Intrinsics, unlicked weapons, farming Curcuit. And I agree I would love Duviri mode without undercroft

To me Duviri shows what direction the new warframe team wants to go in, as well as potentially showing a small tech demo for their upcoming game.

Undercroft is a breath of fresh air after slogging around on the drifter.

Metaphorically and literally a content island.

cant wait to watch this all the way through

I really wished for more from the story aspect of duviri....felt like way to little

Man, I hope you're reading this, every time I see you post something longer then 20 minutes I go grab a snack immediately. Always a pleasure seeing your videos. You should try to make lore videos too.(and one of my favorite video is the limbo one)

Solid video, my only issue with duviri as a long time player is that besides steel path circuit there's nothing to really grind for. There's new Melee weapons and now kulervo but before the update came out incarnon adapters were it. Now the base SP circuit experience is a good system but it sucks waiting and hoping I get one of my 5 SP ready weapons and Frames. Just wish you could somehow farm incarnon adapters outside of SP

My main issue was that I expected so much more after four years of development (and yes the pandemic was a factor). My expectations were so high and a majority of what I wanted from it wasn’t there. I ended up playing it two or three times after completing the quest and just went back to the normal origin system. The melee just feels like a slowed version of regular and the emotion spirals should have had a much bigger impact on the game.

Honestly can not wait for you to cover umbra

I don’t think gauss mains are ever happy since volt mains beat them in any race no matter what

We have Elden Ring at home

Having to do like 20-30 mins of side stuff ("story") before you could fight the boss was such an aggravating experience in this update.

The moods do have a bit of difficulty change cause heralds can buff their allies with elements respective to the mood spiral Anger for fire Toxin for envy Tau/True damage for Joy Cold for sorrow Electricity for fear But it doesnt really matter too much if you just kill the herald that cast the buff, since doing that will dispell the buff on all enemies

I'm new to this game, and this was the first story I tried out right after the beginning. I really liked it. I'm surprised this was free.

One of my favorite decree set ups is the power strength boosting decree that increases power strength with armor then pair that with the decree that gives you armor when enemies are affected by corrosion then pair that with the decree that makes eneimes take corrosive damage if there close then pair all of this up with hydroid

If you ask me.... Duviri is like all the other semi open world

Need more rewards for playing it tbh, i only play it for the adapters but it is a enjoyable experience

Opinion: As someone whos been playing Warframe pretty much non stop for like five or so years, Duviri is a very welcome change of pace/breath of fresh air. It took getting most of the codex thingies in one run and getting the rest of my intriniscs done for me to take a week break from Duviri. I find Duviri fun to play with some friends and just shitposting in Duviri or getting lucky with a solo queue and the other randoms in the lobby mutually deciding to do literally anything but the main objective and by the time we decide to finish the run, it's not a matter of us surviving the boss, it's a matter of the boss surviving us. Memes aside, I really like Duviri as something you can play when you get deathly bored of traditional Warframe gameplay but don't have anything else you want to play and have some time to kill.

Wait a minute what was daddy stalker doing at 19:34? ;) Great video, as always!

After playing the duviri experience i got vibes of roguelike like each run is different with perks wep and etc but in the end all finish doing the same final boss,so maybe the devs make it this way to feel like a minigame

I agree, there should be a mode for drifter gameplay only

Duviri is visually stunning and beautiful. I absolutely love it. That being said once youve figured out how to do everything, your essentially just farming for the incarnon adapter resources and thats essentially it. And because of that the open world just feels a bit empty. I do enjoy playing it but it just needs a bit more meat on the bone.

I love how you can just keep getting decrees in the Experience and feel like a god when you fight the orowyrm. Edit: the ending of the duviri story can also imply that the man in the wall is also the drifter

I find Duviri fun but I don't like doing it multiplayer because of issues I keep having with the host leaving mid-spiral and getting booted back to the orbiter. On top of that, i don't like undercroft. At all. I think that a mode without undercroft should've been something that existed and a lack of one has gotten on my nerves more than a few times. Aisde from that I find it kinda misleading that the two paths cutscene for the opening is "choose the guy with a sword if you want a shooter and the guy with a gun if you want melee combat" as it can be a bit confusing but not as much of an issue. Otherwise i find Duviri incredibly fun even if I'm incredibly stubborn and turn that dinky pistol into a status machine that shreds anything it hits in a few shots rather than doing melee combat like the game wants me to do.

actuly the spiral dose effect the element the enamys use like with sarrow they use ice which slows you or anger is heat etc now 3 of the 5 are the same for drifter where joy i dont know what it dose and cold only matters for movement early on

11:09 I warned you , I warned you but did you listen to me ? Oh no you know didn't you , oh its just a harmless little bunny isn't it , well its always the same isn't it , I always tell , do they listen to me ....

Oh yeah boy

So funny story but playing through the quest for the first time, during the final cutscene between my character and Teshin, they straight up died and stayed a silent ragdoll the entire cutscene.

each time i try to boot up the quest line i'll get to the hand scene and then my controller disconnects, is this a bug? someone please help

I liked it.

You should do valkyr for next warframe video:)

It still need polishing but overall it's a great update. Playing star chart mission now feels like a chore because of monotonous it is

What Decree builds do you guys usually go for? I always go for a status based build, basically stacking up as many status decrees as possible so that you'll one shot stuff, and the enemies that didn't get hit still die after 1 tick of damage because of Close Contagion

About Kullervo's Bane - they patched SP dropping the same mount as regular one, now it's better. (This is in case people who are watching haven't tried the farm yet)

So we're just going to Ignore the Elephant in that Room that is Pathos Clamp Farming 🧐 ?

i feel like there shoul've been 7 spirals, each representing a capital sin. they already got envy, sorrow and anger/wrath. it would've been much easier to make specific changes to each spiral going by that, making enemies have different behaviours, npcs have different dialogues, the world has different hazards, even new and unique decrees for each spiral. duviri is new to warframe and all, but... it was in development since 2016. it could've been so much more and it just feels short of what it was even promised.

"I forgor 💀" - Driftor

I wish Duviri was more like infamous 2. That might not make since but I get me.

The story wasn't created by the Drifter, since we can hear Euleria Entrati (Mother) narrating it. Also he may not be the sole survivor since it was heavily implied that Thrax is a "Tenno" too which might be just Rell since he also had problems with emotions.

It is funny how for those who played all content, we know the drifter sentient adaptation was killed by that paracesys. My biggest complain is the pathos resource, even if you speedrun it on normal, it cant take 15m+ for just 10 of it, and many things requires it, not only adapters. so i am so burned with resource gathering, and the fact it isnt booster supported, i just gave it up, got the incarnion i really wanted and left the rest to collect dust. i guess i was right when i theorize the duviri is the drifter torturing himself, survivor guilty.

It’s a ROBOT PEGASUS. Enough said!

Let's just hope for the future, there will never again be any "Experience", that isn't Warframe.

been enjoying the actual gameplay of duviri. The new combat system needs polishing but at least DE are trying something new. But I have been having some awful load times and stuttering in duviri, and weirdly it only happens in duviri and not the rest of the game.

I have a potato PC, since this update arrived I legit stopped playing, my PC cannot run it propperly anymore.

Sorrow spiral is just not completable on PS4. I've done it seven times and had to abort mission every time. also, the whole "you get rewards up to your last selected decree" thing isn't working either. If I leave before orowyrm, I get nothing.

At first i rushed the duviri and after the quest ended i never saw any reason to go back. I never understood the purpose of duviri. It is beautiful, and it is wellmade. But i feel they left out much more things they were expecting to put in the game but could not for a number a reasons, being it tech, money or time.

In fact I did have a full heavy attack decree setup, and one shot kullervo with one heavy swing, also destroying orowrym ring with the shockwave, its satisfying. And starting as a new player from duviri.... rather disappointing, you just simply go through the quest and back to deal with vor

from the videos I've seen, Duviri feels like you're playing a SoulFrame demo. Slower combat than Warframe, more of a medieval-type of look and vague storytelling akin to Elden Ring.

Yeet

Warframe : Duviri Inside Out

After hearing Teshin berate me for letting an excavator get destroyed for the thousandth time, I think I hate him now.

It's nice you get to try different frames and weapons you might not have at the moment, but those times when the game gives you a stick, and a rock gets irritating. A re-roll or access to mods would be great.

I like it, but its so weird and nothing like what the main warframe experience is, i also personally dont think it should be a new player option at all for various reasons, the main one being that the gameplay and combat is absolutely nothing like what the main game is, which players will HAVE to go through. Plus when you dont know the story this ends up being extremely confusing for new people, and even people that knew the lore. Like every module DE makes, its fun, very short and barely expanded upon, im looking at you Railjack. This gives some good rewards that youd normally have to grind for in the main game, so it is worth doing at least.

I think the duviri paradox story is somewhat inspired by mental illness, depression coming to mind. Probably other illnesses too but I can’t figure those out.

It's possible that after watching this my perspective of Duviri will change but as it stands with what little experience I have in the game overall I'd say Duviri is phenomenal as far as the concept is concerned but the concept doesn't really seem to translate all that well into the practical which sort of drains the fun out of it faster than it should. I'm hoping that this video will give me some perspective into how it works and maybe even make it more fun because right now it just seems like another possibly pointless grind.

Finally, peak pedro Pascal gameplay

Forced Undercroft is meh, but overall it's a masterpiece!

One funny thing for me is that The Duviri Paradow udpate is, in itself, a Paradox. - Giving the opportunity to new players to have a different start is really wierd and confusing. It introduces it to a gamemode completely separated from the Core of the game that do not have a huge utility yet. In the end, after doing the quest and some spirals (let's say 3 to 4H), the player have to redo the tutorial in the Awakening. In my opinion, Duviri should be quest-locked. I think that locking it after either The Second Dream, The New War or Angels of the Zariman are good options depending on how accessible you want this gameplay to be. - One nice thing is the Tutorial that feels far better than the initial one, even after the remaster. The thing is that the Tutorial is good because it is an interesting one but because the other option is worse. The Warframe Tutorial in Duviri should be removed but we'll need to rework the New Player Experience again if not Vor's Prize entirely. The paradox here is that you need to do The Duviri Paradox, an experience really different from Warframe's Core Gameplay to have the best Tutorial for Warframe's Core. - The quest in itself is good, it tackles a really interesting story and theme and introduces perfectly the player to this new gameplay. - The lore surrounding Duviri and the Drifter is quite complex and disturbing, especially with The Seven Crimes of Kullervo. We have connexions based with Warframe Characters but it is hard to see clearly what is happening. In any case, it adds more questions and theories to the game, which for me is good enough. - The Drifter's Gameplay is quite interesting, the Melee system is a little bit simple with only one stance per Weapon but the job is done. The locking system is a little bit wierd so I almost never use it. We are really feeling Powerful after a few decrees, especially in Steel Path. One thing that is wierd is the filtration of decrees. For example, the game is supposed to give at least one Melee Decree if you have already some of them. The thing is that, despite having a few of them, I rarely see one and it became worse as I select a good decree (but not a Melee one) and the Game Start to give me this type of decrees. I have the feeling to be slow (before having the Speed Decree) but it is far better than Khal's Gameplay. This one is slow as hell and having to do this each weak is a real torture. But in Duviri, we can move quickly with the Kaithe and have some movenment options with it. - The Missions are good but not balanced between them : when I'm doing Steel Path Duviri Experience, I rarely do side objectives like Tammns or Sanctuary as it is longer than Opening a Chest, Killing a bunch of Dax or Killing a Chest Guardian. It is worse with the Undercroft as Survival / Defense / Excavation takes around 5min while a Duviri Mission last around 30sec. - The area is really beautiful, with the Different Moods giving a really different ambiance and giving the impression of 5 Different Open Worlds. I personally love the Joy Spiral, it gives a really nice touch to the area. There are lots of Points of Interest, the Area is not empty. There is always something near you to do : a side mission, a cave, a little village, an Enigma, ... The areas inside Duviri are really diverse : Snowy Mountain, Desert, Plains, Lakes, Structured Cities. It is not like a unique Biome like the previous open worlds. - The Orowyrm fight is really good but a little bit Frustrating. Having to do the Steel Path version (the least optimal one) to have a full Boss Fight is sad and I even want it to be longer orr more adapted. The First Phase is really good but I think it need some tweaks. As a Veteran player, I would like to do the Full Squad version of the First Stage in Solo. Having to tweak the 4 Pathos Valves is much more engaging than only 2. Controlling the Orowyrm and Destroying everything around is amazing, I just wish to have more 1v4 Orowyrm Fights like in the Quest. However, the Second Phase is not as good as the First One : either you have a good gear and the Orowyrm is out easily or you have a weak gear against the Orowyrm and the Fight can be really long. Also, i think the game should give us a random Archgun of our Arsenal instead of a default Imperator. This weapon is here if our current weapons do not deal enough damage to the Orowyrm and the Default Imperator is not enough for the Steel Path Orowyrm. The new Segments of the Second Parts are also a little bit frustrating as shooting the Wyrmlings can be painful for some players.

yooo

I find Duvari somewhere between irritating and boring as it slowly oscillates between those two states (look how thematically appropriate). After finishing the quest I had zero interest in doing it a second time until Kullervo came out. Repeated the stronghold enough times to gather Bane resource to buy all parts of the warframe and his weapon and just then I noticed what are other resources needed to craft it (I wasn't interested in sun&moon at all so i wasn't paying attention initially), did one more run dedicated to trying to gather as many Tasoma Extracts, Saggen Pearls, Connla Sprouts, Ueymags etc. in most efficient manner and..... I was about to puke. The only thing I like less than Duvari is mining. That's my Duvari experience.

steel path should give us 30 pathos clams or 20. I dont like roguelikes,(if you have a bad roll just let yourself get killed or restart, the randomness is more a pain than a enjoable thing) but this experience was really enjoyale and at least the things you can get are worth. I would say that the undercraft is really annoying on duiri experience, speccially because you sometimes get bad rolls or your equipment, i dont know how someone can fin fun playing with random equipment, it gets old fast, ut at least the mayority of times you get something to play with. And no, the random equipment havent done anything fo me to exit the confort zone... at the contrary, i usually only use one weapon, i dont like switching weapons, i have more fun shooting with one o going full melee, but switching between those is extremely annoying.

Soooo. What is the story exactly?

loki vid pls pls 👉👈

You can't have your sound so high then cut to a cutscene that sound muted!

i really really dont like having to do the undercroft in duviri, it feels so boring having to do warframe stuff when it’s supposed to be a new experience, it should at least be optional as its such a slog to get through all but extermination in undercroft and even then i could just play normal warframe.

I like it but they gotta chill with Diet Souls. I’ve never understood the appeal of Souls games, but it seems like it’s the difficulty tied to the combat system, not necessarily the combat system itself. You can very rapidly get your driftor to OP one shot power fantasy territory (like WF) but it’s still trapped in the slow, methodical Souls combat system. I assume block/parry/dodgeroll/attack style of Souls is fun because you HAVE to use all these mechanics. With max driftor intrinsics and a few decrees, you can brute force your way through no problem. I feel like driftor should’ve had more “Devil May Cry” esque flash and flare to his combat. Right now it just feels like playing Souls with an Easy mode, which idk who that appeals to. At best, all Driftor feels like is a soft play test of what Soulframe will improve on.

*game audio is way too low*

My brother got my into Warframe just a few days ago. I can honestly say as a new player, starting on the Duviri path was the intro I needed for this game. Not necessarily because it teaches what to expect for the rest of the game (cuz it really doesn't, but that's fine), but because it grabs your interest with the story right from the jump. Personally when I get recommended a new game, I'll normally buy/download it and play once that day. Then it'll sit on my desktop for weeks or months until I have any real urge to fully dive into the game again. Because the story of the Duviri is so bat-shit wild from the instant it started, it made me want to explore and figure out the rest of the game much faster. The only thing I'd want to change is when you pick your Warframe for the rest of the game. Maybe I was just a little too high, but I didn't realize the second time you picked your Warframe, that was the one you were locked into until you're able to grind another blueprint. All in all, this game pulled me out of a Hyper-fixation on Red Dead 2. The only other game to pull me out of a hyper-fixation was Rimworld, which for me isn't too special since it's pretty much an ADHD simulator/tamer

I thought the story was bizarre like the writers gave up half way through it. It's like there's a concept to be conveyed yet there is no purpose to the story at all. Like what is the doll supposed to represent? being whole? You can vaguely understand what the story is trying to say but it's all based on intuitive allusions and there ends up being no real meaning to it at all. I thought the story was terrible. The alternative gameplay was good though and it is pretty interesting to see the devs add a new addition to the game mechanics... although it is rather wonky.

Its what every warframe fan wished for, a shittier, slower warframe.

Duviri could have been so much more.

I hate how it wasnt something explained to you. For me i was just slapped into it thinking its the actual game

I genuinely hate that The Duviri Paradox teaches you how Void Flood works and makes it a base Undercroft mission type. Here's a question: Where in the game are you able to play the only Void Flood mission? That's right, the Zariman. How do you get to the Zariman? That's right. THE NEW WAR. They could've chosen any mission and instead they chose a mission type that only appears once in the entire game and is locked behind a long as hell quest line which you'd get to quicker by doing the MAIN PATH.

Until this video was put out the story made absolutely no sense as a "vet" I find it a little irritating even if i pay attention to the upmost degree and personally they should have left the undercroft section out of the drifter parts

Stop saying its not for everyone. Nothing is for everyone .

Am I the only one who hated the story while everyone else was complaining about bugs, glitches, and Drifter combat

I've grinded EVERYTHING IN THE GAME this is the first game mode in which I will buy everything, or not I don't care, I absolutely HATE duviri

De as a studio might have some of the worst open worlds in modern gaming

Duviri is a empty world. There’s really nothing outside the circuit.

i forgor

Its pronounced GAUHSS not GAWSS

Canadian Genshin Impact

also on worse hardware duviri kills your fps

Ngl. I hate it. It's clearly a test for something else and I hate it for being in warframe
