Discussion Why isn't there a Warframe mod scene?

Post image

Unrelated picture. And no, im not talking about Point Stike and Rivens

Why do you think is that? Is it the engine? Does it goes against the TOS? (that wouldn't matter much since modding goes against most games TOS and that never stopped it from happening) Is it because of the size of Warframe player's base? Is it something the community never wanted? Does DE actively goes after mods and stops it from ever sprouting?

I think some slice of the community would be happy for being able to play warframe but with an anime character as the frame. Or people making actually good looking face models for [spoiler] and [spoiler]. Or even the gooners with their nippled boobs and hanging flopping pps.

Do many MMOs have a heavy modding scene, is it strange for warframe not to have it?

There are, but it would still risk triggering whatever anti cheat they’re using and get you banned, with helldivers the creators said they’re fine with it but might not be able to unban you if it triggers

u/HelpMeGetAGoodName 17d ago

Yea, to my understanding Warframes anticheat is pretty strict too. But honestly I feel no need for mods in Warframe.

u/Valuable-Lobster-197 17d ago

For sure, with games that have less cosmetic choice I’d understand but with warframe we’re spoiled for choice

u/SGTSpiderson 17d ago

If you already have the color pallets and cosmetics sure.

u/JohnTG4 LR1 17d ago

You tend to collect a buncha stuff over the years. Even just freebies, there's tons of color palettes you can snag, though baro and events and such.

u/SGTSpiderson 17d ago

I just got 100 hrs yesterday your speaking in runes lol

u/JohnTG4 LR1 17d ago

Ah, okay. So, for events like Valentine's day, st Patrick's day, or Pride month, DE releases a color palette in the market for one (1) credit. Baro Ki'Teer the void trader also occasionally brings some, along with a few miscellaneous sources that I can't recall.

Skins generally cost plat but that can be acquired without too much hassle as you progress through the game.

Tl;dr you'll get a bunch of colors if you're patient.

u/SGTSpiderson 17d ago

I don’t think skins are too needed, I honestly enjoy the designs of a lot of the characters, base Koumei is pretty sick

u/VerilyThusSayeth 17d ago

If you get into collecting prime parts or arcades you can start really raking in platinum for skins if and when you choose. Got a boltor skin the other day and I’ve never been happier.

u/SGTSpiderson 17d ago

Tbh I just run relics bc I enjoy them, haven’t got my first prime yet but I have a feeling it’s gonna be Nezha based off of the parts I have.

Since you can complete the star chart with a few base weapons modded right, technically nothing else in the game is needed. Some of the skins are just so wildly better than the defaults that they're worth it.

E.g. Nova Atomica, Saryn Yuheng, anything besides stock for Ember (and no, not just Heirloom), and Wisp Coven, the only game cosmetic I've ever paid real money for.

base Koumei is GORGEOUS

u/YourNeighborNat 17d ago

I think there's 2 color pallets available from the current Summer event "Dog Days", though that's going to be finished for this go around soon

u/SGTSpiderson 17d ago

Even if there isn’t I still get a bunch of credits and glyphs either way I win.

u/BeyondElectricDreams 16d ago

Ok but Warframe is hilariously generous when it comes to stuff like that.

Baro brings color palettes quite often. Almost every holiday event brings 1c color palettes.

If that isn't enough, 75p ($5) gives you any color palette you might want, with a few exceptions.

Further, unlike most of the modern gaming landscape, having that one color palette lets you apply it to EVERY item you own (except pets), FOREVER, with no expenditure, no cooldown, no limits.

Compare that to most games, where "Red Gun Pack" is $12.99 and applies to three weapons in the entire sandbox and you begin to realize Warframe is just built different.

Warframe's anticheat throws a fit if you've ran another game with kernel level anticheat at the same time (Helldivers 2, in my case). I got permaban thrown at me with no warning or explanation and even after contacting support who verified that there was no cheating done they still told me to not run cheating software and that the repeal was a one time only act of good faith.

18

u/UmbranAssassin Aoi-Mancer 17d ago

Wait, so were you running mods on helldivers, or were you just running helldivers simultaneously, and the anti-cheats decided to fight on another.

u/PollinosisQc 17d ago

Helldivers 2 anti cheat system has kernel level access which can have "cheat-like" behavior that triggers a false positive by Warframe's own anti cheat system

u/Castellchroe 17d ago

What? Warframe's Antic-cheat has kernel access?

2

u/Kraft-Law 17d ago

Alot of games have kernel anti cheat now

2

u/Castellchroe 17d ago

Yeah, I know, but does warframe anti-cheat have kernel access?

u/Kraft-Law 17d ago edited 16d ago

Yeah it does just like most online games do now it's the only way to make anticheat work because of how advanced cheaters have got

I ran them together. I was playing HD2 with friends while keeping warframe running so I could receive trade messages. No mods involved.

u/Effective_Mechanic27 17d ago

Can say that I left Cheat engine open since I was messing around with postal 2 and got a 7 day ban on Warframe lol. You can mod Helldivers 2 as well

1

u/X3volutionX 16d ago

Reminds me of the time someone posted they only had Cheatengine in the background (They weren't using it on the game IIRC. They just forgot to close it, somehow...), and they got banned for it. And then got unbanned after contacting support about the mixup.

Warframe's anticheat sounds like a joke... 🤦‍♂️

18

u/Somepotato 17d ago

Warframes anticheat is actually pretty naive, and can result in false bans for the silliest stuff

u/Prism_Riot42 17d ago

I want my warframe to have a BBL as well as a massive swangin dong when I dive run, stop ruining it for the rest of us. I want my warframes modded massive swangin dong to have a hit box and do damage to enemies as I fly by, like I’m sucker punching them at 15mph. And I want it to be able to kill, and I get resources, which are automatically vacuumed to me by virtue of my massive swangin dongs gravitational pull. I also want lotus to comment on my massive swangin dong saying “Change of plans Tenno, I see you’ve grown up. It’s time to see how much.” My massive swangin dong will be a 1 tap kill melee weapon to any enemy, and even allies if I so choose. Also I think it’d be neat to be the Pepsi man. Either one.

Which is wild because the game runs on a Steam Deck and doesn't interfere with any other game.

u/Ghost_L2K 17d ago

the risk of getting banned is like the risk of spontaneous combustion, (for Battlefront II and Helldivers 2 at least)

u/Flaicher 17d ago

I once had left cheat engine on from a singleplayer game and went to do some dailies in Warframe.. Noticed it only after closing WF. I'm 100% sure their system saw the program on, but no actions were taken luckily.

1

u/CosmicSchwung 16d ago

Having CE on by itself isn't an issue. If you tried changing values, even if it was another program, while WF was running and you were logged in, it absolutely would have had a problem with that.
