EDIT: June is here, and launch week is here! We will be releasing Update 28: The Deadlock Protocol on PC this week (not today, though)!

Thank you for addressing the huge power spike that is the Bramma!

However, this doesn't change one important thing in regards to new player experience: Kuva Liches are accessed WAY too early in the game. As soon as you finish TWW, you can access it, which is as early as MR5. I've seen SO MANY low MR players that barely have 30 hours in the game, who probably got carried and bombrushed through the map to get to Sedna Junction, and then only focused on gaining Kuva weapons. They're running in lvl 100 Kuva lich missions with MK1 weapons, Taxion and a Kuva Bramma.

This huge power spike, even after Bramma nerf, will not change.

You need to address this by putting a much higher lock on Kuva Lich access, maybe tied to MR15 or something, because this is quite ridiculous. Note that MR on Kuva weapons does nothing, because they come prebuilt in the foundry which will ignore MR requirements.

We are doing a co...

Tenno -

If you’ve been plugged into the community discourse since the self damage changes, you’ll have seen a lot of discussions about the Kuva Bramma. 

It has quickly taken the place at the top of the usage charts - which is where it should be given its acquisition - but the degree of dominance (about 3 times more popular than anything else) is not something we feel is good for the primary weapon Arsenal options.

We are changing it so that:

- It has a smaller reserve ammo (15 to 5), and gains fewer arrows from ammo pickups - This is to encourage players to aim the bow deliberately at crowds of enemies and not fire it wildly everywhere
- Fewer cluster bombs are produced on impact (from 7 to 3) - Reduces the overwhelming AOE potential somewhat but also makes the Bramma less visually busy. Players have said that the many many explosions produced by Bramma are hard to see through....

Greetings Tenno!

With the upcoming release of The Deadlock Protocol, we wanted to outline some further changes we are making to the Riven disposition process in response to player feedback.

When we introduced separate dispositions for each weapon variant back in November 2019, we planned to give new weapons a disposition of 1 (the “average”), or matching the lowest member of the weapon family if it already had a disposition lower than 1. Unfortunately, this meant that powerful new weapons (like the Kuva Lich collection) might have Rivens that start too strong, forcing reductions in accordance with our balance methodology.

In order to prevent this situation, we will be changing this policy: going forward, all new weapons will be released with the minimum Riven disposition of 0.5. For The Deadlock Protocol, this includes the dispositions on newly added primary kitguns, in addition to regular weapons (secondary kitgun dispositions will remain as-is.)

This more conse...

This is a follow up to our original announcement.

The Questions and Answers (Q&A) Chat Channel is going live with Deadlock Protocol on PC this week! So we’ve written a brief Guide to Using the Q&A Channel, which outlines the rules and expectations for both new and experienced players alike.  

Guide to Using the Q&A Channel: 

The goal for the Q&A channel remains the same as we near its debut: “To provide new and experienced players a place to seek and provide help in a dedicated and organized way. This channel will be the first channel new players enter (instead of Region, which will be available as an opt-in!).”

This channel - while open to all players - does have some rules similar to the Trading and Recruitment channels to meet the goal above. It will be enforced by the same hired professional team of moderators that have been active in our Warframe chat channels for almost a year and a half. While in all cases, the chat Code of Conduct must be adhered to, the ...

A couple general notes of improvements coming with the next update (based on feedback here, and in general):

• Upon falling/jumping off a platform in the Weave, you’ll now be teleported back to the main platform instead of failing the Weave. 
  The non-existent aim-gliding in the Weave was the root of many Weave failures, which is why we have added the teleport. It’s still the Glassmakers game though, so use your time wisely! 
• The amount of Cephalite Resonance to enter the Weave has been cut in half. The requirement is now 5 instead of 10.
• Your Cephalite Resonance count, as well as the amount required for the Weave, is now displayed upon hover on the Glassmaker crime scene Episode selector. 

Thank you for letting us know.

I should note that there is a report function that you can use in-game. By right-clicking on a players name, you can file a report with context if you see other players acting inappropriately. To avoid any potential cases of naming-and-shaming, I am locking this thread.

Many of you have noticed that the “Friendly Fire” Weekly Nightwave Challenge has been rewarding 1,000 Standing instead of the 4,500 expected from Weekly Challenges. That disparity is being fixed in The Deadlock Protocol update! Completing “Friendly Fire” will reward 4,500 Nightwave Standing.

Anyone who completes the challenge before the change is live will receive their missing Standing retroactively. You’ll notice that your Total Standing has increased when you first login following The Deadlock Protocol’s launch.

Consoles will see the same Standing increase when they receive The Deadlock Protocol update. Expect Cert Status threads soon!

You're making waves, Dreamers. We’re excited to share more of Nightwave: Series 3 — Glassmaker with you!

If you set the in-game music slider to 'off' then the next time you login it will remember this setting, so you don't need to do it everytime you load the game.

When can we expect The Deadlock Protocol or Nightwave Episode 2?

Our Marketing channels will be sharing more info very soon!

The Community Team will not be hosting home live streams this week as we continue to focus on making improvements within our game.

Our hearts are with you, Tenno. Please be safe.

Our logs are showing us a new issue has cropped up, hold tight, we're investigating. 

For those of you still waiting on your purchases to come through, we believe to have fixed the issue and you should now see your items if you relog or open the PlayStation Store from the in-game Market, and then return to the game.

If you are able to confirm with me here that you do in fact see your purchases that would be much appreciated so that I can inform the team that the fix was successful. 

Thank you so much, Tenno! Again we apologize for the delay on getting your purchased goods.

Our logs are showing us a new issue has cropped up, hold tight, we're investigating. 

Good morning, Tenno! Early this morning (around 12:20 AM ET) the purchase issues were resolved. As mentioned yesterday, if you had made purchases over the past two days while there were connection issues, you should now receive those items next time you log back into the game.

We will keep monitoring for any residual or new issues, but for the time being all issues presented here have been resolved, thank you Tenno!

Hey Danielle! Thanks for the response regarding server issues. I'm wondering if there is a suggestion for how to proceed if we made a purchase in the online playstation store for platinum or packs or whatnot....should we wait it out, try to get it refunded from PS and rebuy, or something else entirely?

thanks!

Since this thread has devolved into personal attacks and bickering, I am locking it.

To the OP, we are happy to support causes all across the globe, and have done. We try to support as many as we can, year-to-year as well as our players who likewise do charity drives. I am glad that this year, we have the honor of being able to support a cause that resonates with you, and we hope to help others in the future.

Agreed.  If this issue is proving to be broader than Warframe, there is only so much that DE can do.

Consider, though, that the message of “Let me at least see if we can find out what is going on and get back to you” is better PR than “We will keep an eye on it.”

You know, you are absolutely correct, and I apologize for my colloquialisms.

To shine some light on these things, let me add there are other factors at play here. Our team is (and was at the time of posting - 9:30pm) in communication with Sony. Its not like we have a switch and they have a switch, and we just need to make sure that both are set to the 'on' position. I am not well versed enough in the technical aspects to give you a full rundown of what we were seeing, but I admit my post was over-simplified.

We are actively working on the issue and none of us want to give any of you the impression that it is unimportant. Please refer to D...

Thanks for the report, we will look into it.
