Train man released a new video.
Years of frustration with little rationalization. -------------------------------------------------- I have a Twitter: https://twitter.com/rahetalius And a D...

Any bets on what happens?
Likely just ignore it, like all of the current criticisms, such as
suddenly changing how healing defense targets works, even with all the backlash in the forums, Scarlet Spear being a repetitive grindfest, although it was branded as "fun" (they didn't lie about the scaling rewards, but it's just a currency that's grinded to buy arcanes without spending platinum or grinding Eidolons, alongside
MR filler, a
shitty Forma, and cosmetics), and this is
only addressing the current update, others are far, far worse.
If it's something like directly shitting on a specific DE staff or chat mods (latter is unlikely), probably a repeat of his video last year.
EDIT: Just started watching, mentions Warbros 5 minutes in
6:21. Mentions DE's shit takes on balancing
that dates all the way back to 2016, and mentioning a more recent one(nerfing the fastest way to get loot rather than buffing the slower ways, a very simple feature that no one liked was overlooked until a few months later because "we're doing other stuff now", was reluctant to change because "it would be unique for someone to kick your butt for a change", until they did in a future update).
9:22. Stating that DE selectively picks what they listen to,
one person wanted Univeral Medallions to not work for the PvP gamemode's standing got the feature to work, but community collectively saying that they don't want Liches to kill you if you don't have the right combo took a few months to get put in, plus no univerasl
Vaccum, although it got
closer in 2018. Especially appaling considering that DE claims to be listening to the community.
10:11. Contrasting the previous statement to a video made in 2018 The Rise of Warframe, where DE added features that community wanted (ie bullet jumping)
11:49. Popular Youtubers who don't even play the game often (Jim Sterling) are listened more to DE than the people who regularly play the game, most of DE's actions recently are kneejerk reactions to a temporary event, Limbo's statis getting nerfed against Sentients because Scarlet Spear was too easy with it and Khora's companion healing the event's defense objective (Oplink). DE did also listen to WF partners when trying to rework warframes (Tribuos for Grendel, Train Man for Vauban, both times DE asked them for the feedback).
13:53. His criticisms are towards Warframe as a whole, and that WF is in a worse place now than it was in 2019.
15:49. Mentions the Glassdoor reviews about DE's shitty management
16:51. Chapter 1 starts, dropping redpills on the Partner Program, it's just a special title on your profile, alongside optional access to free Prime Access.
20:20. AGGP being an ITG over a Twitch comment, devolves into him chimping out, white-knighting Warframe. 20:20-27:58(?)
28:00. More clips of AGGP being toxic.
33:15. AGGP mentions Reddit being "homophobic" due to not liking him
34:12. Juxtaposing AGGP to chat mods from his 2019 video.
35:40. Mentions his reporting of AGGP to a DE staff, mentions that no one responsed, then talking about how former fans of him on Reddit now hate AGGP, and AGGP's tendency to claim any criticism as homophobia, mentions an alleged homophobic ex-partner, RevXDev, which i can't tell is genuine or a joke, especially since it's aimed towards AGGP, then mentions 2 LGBT partners (Sabbuchi, TheFateKO(?))
40:00. Says Partners are Warframe's advertisement, 173 partners,
excluding non-English-speaking partners, asks why DE isn't advertising
~41:00. DE has a large community, and has been listening to their community even less than before, citing Kuva Liches.
41:12. Chapter 2, Player Feedback begins, DE cherrypicking player feedback, citing Universal Medallions.
43:26. Universal Vacuum, went from Carrier only to all Sentinels to Sentinels plus Pets
44:47. DE repeating mistakes; Sibear being a nightmare to farm, only to be even worse than Hema, refused to decrease because it would "upset the people who grinded it", even though they refunded Railjack resources after they were decreased.
48:29. Mentioning ESO nerf, even after community wanting the mode to be made easier and more rewarding, alongside DE taking action against PC chat mods, but not console mods.
49:10. DE lied about Railjack
51:55. Chapter 3 begins, The State of The Game
52:34. Player Acquisition and Retention positions at the DE website
52:48. Older players are not satisfied by the updates, and even during the Chinkflu pandemic, no one wants to even play the game due to how negligent the devs are.
54:24. Asking why the audience still plays Warframe, DE not appealing to anyone anymore, stating that it has became No Man's Sky after Railjack, except No Man's Sky improved, wheras Warframe stagnated, comparing hotfixes to content updates
55:48. Saying that the "Indie game" and "learning from mistakes" copouts are just PR, and that the "F2P done right", while not wrong, isn't correct either.
56:32. DE poking fun at Anthem, only to fall down the same hole, and bugfix forums being dead for years
58:08. Chapter 4 begins, A Heart to Heart, from me to DE, DE is unintentionally destroying their own game by ignoring their community, their "community first" mentality was what got their game popular, and ignoring it is destroying it, he is very fortunate compared to other content creators for revenue, because he doesn't rely on Patreon or Youtube for money, allowing him to freely leave if he wants to and speak his mind, and does it out of charity. Mentions the shitshow of balancing that no one likes that is known as The Old Blood, explaining why Warframe is deemed as "F2P done right", 7 years after Warframe's beta, current WF design is designed to trap people who have already been playing for a while rather than attracting new players.
TLDW: AGGP is a lolcow and DE is failing to both attract new players into the game and to appease the current players due to new content mainly for people who have already been playing and ignoring early game and bugs.
EDIT: Fixed a typo
EDIT 2: Apparently the
RevXDev "homophobia" is legit, posting WBC propaganda, and saying a Russian isn't a Russian, or that he's a "broken one", because he defends gays, while Rev chimps out about homos being "sexual minorities" because "the rest don't want to die from AIDS".
