I thing the whole Warframe vs Mabinogi thing is really exciting! In the previous matchup, AirMech faced Warframe and we unfortunately lost. I noticed many of our players seemed torn between choosing AirMech or Warframe, plus as I know the devs at Digital Extremes (old friends and independent developers themselves) I felt like the most honorable thing to do would be to cheer them on in the next round. I’d never heard of the other game, and never saw it mentioned. I figure why not support some friends, as I heard the other game was offering rewards, and participation is great. I think that companies rewarding their players for voting is perfectly fine. Obviously you’re going to support the game you play, so no harm there. If anyone resorts to botting votes, now that is a serious violation and I hope it hasn’t happened. I didn’t see anything official from Nexon about AirMech and that being the reason they tried so hard (though in the end failed) to win the vote. I’m flattered the players think that our admittedly small community had such a massive influence on the vote in order to justify involving all their games. AirMech is a team of 9 indie developers just building a game we love, and supporting a community we love. We even provided links showing how many potential votes AirMech contributed, but that apparently was ignored. The real winner here is MMOBomb of course. Brilliant move on their part to have this contest, as they have even tricked Nexon into driving them a massive amount of traffic! You can’t buy that kind of interest, so really well done there. Warframe also wins, because now all those Nexon players know about Warframe. Even AirMech wins–we’ve had a ton of signups originating from Nexon forums over the past few days. That wasn’t intentional, but I’m happy they now know about AirMech and are playing our game. In fact all the games in this contest are winners, especially the smaller ones that could use some exposure. Large companies playing it smart like Riot were right to sit out, since any promotion of the event is just free advertising for other ga
At this particular time, we’re debating what we’re going to do – if we’re going to let them. It’s most likely going to be a no because that’s a certain gameplay hook needed ahead of time, but the struggle for us is we’re a free-to-play game; we want as many people to play the new stuff as soon as possible, so if we release this awesome update that takes you twenty hours to get to, that’s a problem. Luckily daytime is a solution but nighttime is in its own easy enticing, so we’re trying to figure out exactly how to hook someone in to communicate this is what night is for if you’re new. Which is something we struggle with a lot.
While Microsoft is selling the Xbox One as the one media device consumers will need, it appears Sony is taking steps to closer align their console with the PC market. It starts with MMOs and online shooters, but where does it

Speaking of missions, Digital Extremes will continue to offer monthly content for Warframe crafting Guide|https://Warframebase.com/ well after the game’s launch alongside the
I think right now we have this world and idea of procedural levels, and these characters that are really strong, and now we introduced questlines where you learned who you really are. You have quests of intense loss, sacrifice and choice, and I would like to see us take those RPG elements, those story elements, but also social aspects and turn it into a new world that we can continue to make. It might have something to do with what we have tonight.
Warframe is getting its first fat frame. While some characters have been described as “thicc” or “phat,” Grendel is unabashedly chunky. And while most other Warframes are loosely based off of Japanese samurai or ninjas, Grendel’s look is pretty obviously modeled after Sumo wrestlers. Just look at the way he sto
