After a rapid fire set of updates and hotfixes in recent months, long time fans of Warframe are reportedly struggling to find new things to become outraged over in each new update. The heated passions that fueled a burning discussion have dwindled down to lukewarm embers incapable of casting a shadow on the errors of every single update.

Forum topics directly related to recent updates have gone down by 80% after Update 18.13 which was over 3 weeks ago. Many are now citing this update as part of a “burnout” period for the community to replenish its reserves of outrage. Experts have estimated that the burst of outrage due to the Mag and Volt reworks alone will require another two to three more weeks to replenish.

“I just can’t find anything I really hate in the Lunaro update.” Mr_Yellow, MR17, is one of the many Tenno unable to afford outrage in the recent update. These Tenno have been struggling to find enough outrage to angrily post on the forums or other social media platforms to express their opinions on changes and additions made to Warframe. “I mean the movement changes are kind of meh and I don’t really like Lunaro, but these aren’t really new things to get angry about. The update is just, like, meh. I want to go on the forums and complain, I really do, but things are pretty much fine right now.”

Forum topics have gone from powerful and compelling topics such as “Here is everything wrong with the ____ rework” and “An Open Letter to DE on _____” to low energy/effort topics such as “pls fix ____” or “why change ____”. Moderators on the official forums have also reported a lack of new topics issuing ultimatums wherein players threaten to quit the game.

Contrary to public opinion, Digital Extremes has taken actions to help aid in replenishing the reserves. As a followup to the forum topic “The War Within: Less wait, more update!” by Steve Sinclair, the following was posted:

“We know that we’ve been asking for more outrage than normal in the past few months so we wanted to take the time to slow things down before introducing Update 19. Part of the reason we split U19 into chunks was to give the community more time to recuperate and then lash out when we really deserve it. We plan on holding onto the Star Chart 3.0 update until the community can replenish its reserves. It’s part of our commitment to the community to make sure we give them new and meaningful ways to be upset with us.”

Though no official date has been announced, players can expect Star Chart 3.0 to arrive by mid-July complete with changes guaranteed to get your blood boiling such as void keys and subsequently missions being locked behind time-limited events, reduction in resource drops by enemies, Kavats requiring 5 days to incubate and 14 days to mature, removal of Bullet Jumping, relays changed to Peer-to-Peer hosting, and Twitter/Facebook integration which posts every mission you begin directly to social media platforms.
