Warframe aims for Discord Store, previews Fortuna fixes – including cutscene skipping

Fortuna part two may have made it before the holidays, but that doesn’t mean the Warframe team is done tinkering. Digital Extremes has already updated players on just what changes it’s already planning to make to the new update, “coming as soon as [it] can”; that includes tweaks to heavy weapon cooldowns, a rebalance of The Profit Taker mechanics and rewards, and fixes for Mesa Prime’s busted skins. Are you already sick of the heist cutscenes? That should make it in sooner rather than later too:

“We intend to make the cutscenes that play before Heists skippable and hope to do so before the holidays! […] There was much debate before launch about how to treat these – there have been cases of ‘cutscenes & skipping’ causing toxicity in other games and communities, which is something we wanted to avoid. We are going to find a way to quickly enable skipping, and put our hope in the positivity of the Tenno that there won’t be disrespect toward players who want to watch the Cutscenes for the first time in the event people matchmake together!”

DE also announced that Warframe will be porting over to the Discord store in conjunction with the sale of an exclusive pack that includes 440 plat, exclusive amethyst skins, and seven=day boosters (apparently, Discord Nitro subbers will get it for free).

Lots of nice Orb fixes and reward table buffs on deck! Art team also killing it on RailJack/Spacebattles for next year, sneak peek of new Corpus fighter! pic.twitter.com/Sa3zLoc7JV
