The New War - Blog Posts

Here is the boy!! Today I have finished The New War quest and it was pain and I am sad because of seeing Ordis and Teshin kinda perishing (Ordis is back at least). so I decided to draw Ordis in his little owl boy! it looks like he got a little jacket too! See you later people!

It was especially funny since I was very verbally excited and invested in the segments that @fru1tycak3 had had the most friction with.

No major spoilers: the unit-control segment near the beginning was a pretty fun switch up and was really neat in how it contextualized the way Corpus military works. The stealth segments were a blast, and Fru1ty told me I got through the most frustrating parts much smoother than their experience. The stuff I struggled most with was the railjack segments, because I strongly felt like the feedback I was being provided to in completing objectives was unclear.

I really loved the way everything came together by the end, and the experience was really cool. Very much made appreciate the highs of the pre-2022 Warframe experience, as well as highlight the things in the game that don't resonate with me.

Just spent most of the night watching @mintyfreshka play through The New War quest in Warframe, mostly to share in the frustration. He had gone through the Sacrifice the night earlier, watching him really getting thrown by the Umbra encounters foreshadowing what would come in The New War. Although, to my surprise, it went much differently for him. That is, having frustrations in completely opposite places.

It is still the perfect example of what a mixed experience is; amazing concepts marred by bad execution. Pre-2022 Quest Design is an exercise in frustration where your reward is being able to with your Warframe and Weapons.
