It sounds like you don't even know what the API changes effect, and why they are bad for both users and moderators.

Mods were promised first party moderation tools years ago that still do not exist. API changes are killing third party alternatives without providing a replacement. https://www.reddit.com/...

The Official Reddit App on Android has issues banning people that have already been shadow banned by reddit. https://www.reddit.com/...

There is poor accessibility support for visually impaired users. (r/blind is in the top 5% of subs and they can't bother making their app accessable for them, does Reddit really care about its user base?) https://www.reddit.com/... There are even a couple posts on r/warframe from blind users

If Reddit actually cared about selling API access to 3rd party Developers, it would not have taken 3 months to respond to a developer. Honestly can't believe they claim to be "profit driven" when they can't be bothered to provide access to their PAID API. https://www.reddit.com/...

They do not have documentation ready for the new API, even though it should be going live at the end of the month. https://developers.reddit.com/waitlist

Helpful bots like remindme/savevideo/wiki bots/wanderingdwarfminer are dead with the API changes. Can't pay for access to the API to keep them alive and there is no available documentation available to update them either.

Then there is also the issue that unless a moderator is on the first party app/official site, they can not see/moderate any content on a NSFW post. Want to post anything that breaks the subs rules, make it an NSFW post.

There was also some mention that it may be possible in the future for trolls to brigade a sub and take it over. Obvious targets for this would be any subs that are educational (r/learnjapanese already had someone requesting to take over), AskHistorians: push whatever alternate history you believe in, or for the "controversial" subs, I expect politics/lgbt type subs to be harrassed if a policy like this goes forward. Why is this even an option support plans to offer, and pass it off as "being in the community's best interest". If someone doesn't like the moderation team, they should be told to make their own sub, not be given the community the mods worked to create. The sub would have died long ago if mods were doing terrible job.

Just because something doesn't effect you directly doesn't mean it doesn't have negative consequences for the rest of the community or even an unforseen impact to yourself. Without the blackout, a lot of these issues would have gone unnoticed by the general community, these were all points I found skimming through the AMA.

*Feel free to correct me on any of my points, or even add to them. A lot of this information was learned through skimming, and I've linked to some quick sources that I used as references, or even better, go ask the affected communities directly how the API changes effect them.

I deleted my twitter account for less. Is it an issue that I stopped supporting a "massive company" because I didn't like how it was being run? (not that twitter was run particularly well before it was bought). It's not the first time a platform has killed itself. (looking at tumbler)

What information are you looking for that can't immediately be found from the official wiki/youtube/asking a question here? A large majority of the posts on Reddit are the same posts about Hemorrhage/Internal Bleeding, Prime Sure Footed/AOE or Incarnon related. You're placing too much value in historical information when updates have made a lot of it inaccurate/outdated due to powercreep. Not to mention how terrible search is on Reddit; you can search for a post by title and still not have it show up in the results page.

It's kinda funny how fast Reddit has escalated their threats in under a week. Also, their claims of being "profit driven" while ignoring Devs that were willing to (or at least inquiring about) use the new paid API for 3 months.

According to the sidebar, this place is fairly active for its size. ~1k comments in a week, with most help threads getting a response from someone.

While some of this advice might be subjective/preference based, the people responding tend to give an explanation for why they recommended something.

There are a few people saying that there's "important information on r/warframe" but they've never responded with what they were looking for when prompted.

If someone wants information they can't find elsewhere, feel free to make a post asking and someone procrastinating will probably come by to help instead of doing what they were originally supposed to be doing; can't answer questions that haven't been asked, and it helps to fill in the "missing repository", although the wiki also a great source of information that people have already submitted. (even if its a fandom site)

The main complaints wasn't that the API was going to be paid but how much more it cost to use the API vs other APIs like Imgur's.

There were devs that had been trying to contact support for +3 months to find out about pricing and Reddit couldn't bother giving them a response notifying them about the new pricing for their API.

Then there was the AMA about how the new API was going to work where nothing was answered. I think somone even linked to their API "documentation" and it was just it is just a waitlist, even though it is going live at the end of the month.

*There was also the response about how the reddit app lacks accessability, and it seemed more like they were scrambling to put something together.

I don't believe I read anything about bots having access to the NSFW part of Reddit, so some automated mod tools aren't going to work there anymore. People will probably notice an increase in onlyfans (or similar type of site) spam bots. Mods of those subs could probably write a bot that scrapes to remove those posts, but I'm pretty sure scraping is against Reddits TOS, and could just get the bot banned.

Other helpful bots that are community orientation are dead as far as I know, like savevideo/remindme.

https://youtu.be/99cVnYY9Iqs one reason why new Reddit/app is terrible, especially for anyone dealing with data caps.

**They also forced r/piracy to be public again, considering that they want to force questionable content like that to be public, they probably aren't going to bother doing a half decent job replacing mods when forcing other subs to go public.

I really don't like how Shield Gating (chaining it with dragon keys) works currently. It feels like it's just hiding issues with survivability instead of fixing it. It obscures how useless barriers have become when trying to protect objectives because players can instantly reset their shield gate to absorb any amount of damage. When an Eximus' attacks go through Frost's Snow Globe, the defense objective is taking the full damage from the attack, but a player can instantly reset their invulnerability, allowing them to absorb any amount of damage from follow up attacks while the actual issues of barrier abilities do nothing now, and how much damage enemies are doing is ignored because players dying is the metric used when balancing enemies not the defense objective dying in 3 hits.

I'd like to see better survival orientated mods for warframes/companions and changes to healing objectives and being able to buff them defensively. As it is now, it feels like because protection can be reset instantly for players, the damage everything else takes has been getting ignored. Messages that a companion is bleeding out are so common that I've accidently left people bleeding out in Archon Missions thinking it was just a Vulphyla dying for the 10th time.

Other than that, I also don't like the Incarnon Weapons. They feel like they're just unrelated weapons arbitrarily slapped onto a preexisting weapon, and that the base weapon seeing an increase in usage is only a side-effect, kind of like the "Amalgam Furax Body Count" situation before the nerf to ammo. You could glue a Kuva Ogris Incarnon to the Stug, and it would probably become one of the most overused weapons in the game, not because people actually want to use the Stug but because the Ogris is (or was) one of the most broken weapons in warframe. There are some random useless evolution options as well like "+ Damage while using a channeled ability" which seems to ignores how few warframes actually have a channeled ability and even fewer are able to use a weapon while using a channeled ability i.e. Mesa's Peacemaker/Titiania's Razorwing.

The New War was fine as a story mission, and they don't require someone to play the mission again and again to get anything else out of it. If someone wants to play it again for the story, they can, but nobody is missing out on not playing the quest weekly.

Khal Missions on the other hand are very repetitive, especially with Kahl's clunky movement and some buggy side objectives that don't spawn correctly. I found I was often backtracking to the very start of a mission trying to find the the last passcode in a mission just to find out it never generated in the first place. If I wanted to finish this challenge, I would have to play through the entire mission a second time just the 6 tokens the side objective rewarded. There was an update which was supposed to overpopulate the map with surplus items to complete the side objectives in one run but that update seems bugged/reverted and we're back to Kahl missions spawning just enough or fewer than what you need to complete these objectives. These are mostly issues for anyone that wanted to complete everything for the bonus rewards, and less of an issue for anyone that was only focused on the main objective.
In short, Khal missions were too slow, repetitive and often encountered bugs making them less enjoyable while requiring a lot of investment time wise and little progress made in return.

I've mostly been answering questions in help threads here, never really had much to post. There's probably some random things I can make a guide for though.

It also seems like there was a bit of an issue for Reddit Mobile users. They couldn't see the message directing people here while r/warframe was set to private. https://dormi.zone/comment/90345

Not sure how much attention this site is getting from within r/Warframe right now. Neither of the currently stickied threads have a reference to this place. Someone could message a Mod to see if they would add a link, or even make a post about how to get started on Lemmy and finding communities since it's a little awkward at first with everything being decentralized.

Archons can not be armor stripped in any way as far as I know (I can't think of any abilities/mods that will work on Archons). That is still useful for general content though and for dealing with the other enemies that spawn in those missions.

It would be nice if they looked at Exterminate spawns/total kills required. 300 + kills is somewhat excessive with the way spawns currently work, and larger clusters of spawns would be helpful.

They're finally releasing Warframe y2k.

It's pretty amazing how much the art has improved over the lifespan of the game, even the Ruins in the section with the Murmurs looks very detailed compared to the more recent tileset reworks like the Corpus Ships.

You're also at the point where you can start working on your operator. You want to enter the Plains of Eidolon at night (Set match making to solo to avoid randomly getting put into a public Eidolon/Tridolon hunt), and you can kill Vomvalysts for their cores, and find Cetus Wisps which spawn near pools of water and appear on your map as an item icon. They can also be given as a Cetus Bounty Reward if you don't want to do laps around the map, and you'll get other useful rewards from doing bounties. Probably best to stick to the lower level ones, nothing prevents you from accidently selecting a mission with enemies above your level range.

Find the Quills in Cetus to trade in the cores for standing to rank up their syndicate and purchase the parts for your first amp. Anything is better than the mote amp, but the first amp you will make will probably use the Raplak Prism, Pencha Scaffold and the Clapkra Brace. Most of the resources needed to craft these components are found on the Plains of Eidolon by fishing/mining. Amps crafted this way are modular items and will require you to take the crafted components back to Onkko to assemble them. Amps can be leveled to 30, and then brought back to Onkko to be guilded. This lets you name your amp, colour it, and put arcanes into it (not relevant for your current progression but does become important later on). To change your amp, go to your orbiter* Pause > Equipment > Operator > Equipment, and you should see the option to equipt another amp. *Should also be able to do this from any of the open world hubs, not an option in relays.

If you talk to Konzu at night, you will see the Eidolon Bounties available. At your current level it is probably best to avoid them. The first Eidolon will be doable in a squad but I still think think it's probably too early for you've currently progressed. It is a good source of items to trade for standing with the Quills though.

If you're having trouble finding them, you should be able to fast travel there from the pause menu. You will see a stone door there, use operator mode to enter it. If you don't have the option to fast travel there, you want to start from the gates and hug the left wall and go up a staircase until you find a stone wall, and use operator mode to enter it.

It did not the last time I tried (a couple of seasons ago). There's also no solo extract so if you're trying to get something from rotation C, and your squad wants to leave early, you will be forced to extract along with them.

I kind of wish they would revert the change to Tail Wind so it wouldn't stop you as soon as you come in contact with the floor when traveling along the ground. I've always had fun playing it as a meme Target Fixation build.

The best change was probably changing the tornados to spawn at max range instead of requiring you to hit them with airburst to increase their size. It felt like a hassle to do every time you wanted to use the tornados just to force some synergy between the two abilities and it was more of a hidden mechanic unless you're someone that reads the tool tips for warframe abilities.

Hate does not work, known issue and they're planning on fixing that later. Currently the only melee weapons that work for that challenge are Innodem and Praedos. Also Laetum, Phenmor and Ferox are the only guns that work currently for that challenge.

Temple is fun to play but I do think the UI could have been a little better. Kind of a me problem though because I am terrible at keeping a beat so I'm staring more at the metronome than what my reticle is pointed at. The reticle for the flamethrower does feel very bulky to me.
