Duviri and Warframe

[Cheese_Cake]

Hey tennos, just confused with Duviri is a standalone game. Is there any relation with Duviri and normal warframes ? e.g Rewards and XP and they shared ?

It's a content island, just like all the other open worlds. The only difference is it's drifter focused.

What’s drifter focused ?

My bad, I didn't see that you were a new player.

Ok, so. It's basically an alternate start to the game if you so choose.

Besides that it is accessable via the star chart at a later time.

While gameplay there is mostly centered around your drifter character, there are Warframes and weapons from the rest of the game in the undercroft.

You can earn rewards in duviri that transfer to the rest of the game. Or you can use it as a place to test out weapons and frames you don't already have.

You earn mastery points for things you use in Duviri, even for things you don't own.

I was typing an edit about the XP, but I did need clarification on if you earn mastery for now owning it. I'll re-edit now to make it accurate. Thanks for confirming.

I just tried it and it is ATROCIOUS!! The key bindings are awful and awkward. Also, having been beaten by the 2 dax (equip sun & moon) having to start that every time from the beginning is very very very tedious.

I'll just say "screw that for a game of soldiers."

I just tried it and you're right. It's bad. Really bad. It's like they wanted to make a challenge so they changed all the keybindings.

Eh its not that bad come on...

I thought it was pretty good. Reminds me of the Witcher 3.

Everyone thinks having to learn new controls is the same as the controls being bad, and that is simply not true.

Its not bad. Its awful. For warframe.
Duviri may be acceptible as separated game, but it so out of pace in WF, like you really want to trade rapid action with normal guns and skills to slow souls-wannabe?

Yes, because it means they are trying new things. If they played it 'safe' every update, the only people who would stick around for this game are the big loyalist. The rest of us would find other games.

Duviri is an orokin fairytale brought to life by tenno. if you own the gear you find in teshins cave, the xp is kept when you leave.

No, because they completly lost any vision and just trying to slap as much out-of-place things as possible, in parallel playtesting ♥♥♥♥ for soulframe.
Duviri isnt Warframe. Every things before - operator, archwing, railjack, necramech - was debatable but links together at the end. Duviri is ♥♥♥♥ because it ignores already established "operator" mechanic and replace it with completly with totally detached everything (combat and control first).

Apparently some people are also experiencing the same opinion as I've got when trying to play Du(mb)Viri(i) *Errm Duviri as it was "supposed to be played". And I hadn't got a fuss with learning new controls because mine already were the same, but the rather slow motion clunky mechanics winds up making me hate it whenever must grind for something in there or simply try to experiment more around that island's content.
And all that while trying to play this fevered dream fueled by Void energies (aka making us being the unpaid beta testers for SoulFrame) kind of takes the cake of Digital Extremes' (DE's) stupid ideas because now I've got to grind new items from the dream realm in order to make weapons to use upon the WarFrame's (WF's) unitverse?!? Hello, thy logic art thou gone?

[Wintermute]

The absolute first thing you need to do to make Duviri enjoyable is ditch the Sun and Moon, and get literally any other drifter weapon. The difference is night and day.

The main farm for the regular game is in Circuit. As a new player, you'll find warframe sets and augments there. For vets there are incarnons in hard mode, which are a lot of fun, but require a lot of arsenal preparation to be farmed without pain.
