I found out about Warframe after playing DarkSector and hearing that the two were related. The reviews seem generally positive with the exception of one massive negative spike.

Is there much in the way of grinding and micro transactions?

    It was good before they added super fast paced mechanics. Before, the game was much more fun. Now it’s just a mad dash to the exit in every mission. Oh and also they ban people for playing their game through steam’s proton.

        not on my machine.

        EDIT: just to be even more clear, the game is marked as Verified for Steam Deck. i don’t think catching a ban for playing with Proton would allow said game to be Verified. i play on desktop (Fedora 40) and my Steam Deck.

        Unlikely, the warframe community for Linux is pretty large. I even remember the Nobara discord had a channel just for warftame. I’ve been playing warframe for over a year on Linux with no issue. The ban is likely unrelated to proton.

          The first versions of Proton-GE were made by GloriousEggroll specifically to get Warframe working, some other games just happened to be playable because of the same tweaks/fixes needed.

        It seems so. Haven’t played in 2 years, during that time I switched to Linux. Wanted to game a bit, downloaded Warframe, logging in just fine. Played a bit, went to work. Came back, logging in - “you have been banned until 2035”

          Did you consider contesting it, or contacting DE about it?

            OK. Fuck it, I just tried to file a ticket. Warframe.com/Zendesk returns “connection has timed out”. On support.warframe.com when clicking “submit a request” or “sign in” it just does nothing and hangs. Tried on librewolf, on default Firefox, on chrome, on android with chrome and mull. Tried using sim internet, same thing. Also it turns out emails that’s used for this account is long deleted and I can’t register a new Gmail with same name, I’m surprised it even allowed me to login on warframe.com without asking for a email code or something.
